The 2024 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, 2024. 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 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. The city has received this award each year since 1995. We believe that the report issued for 2024 continues to uphold the high standards of reporting excellence that this prestigious award represents. The presentation at the work session will be comprehensive and is intended to provide the opportunity for council members to ask any questions or make comments about the audit report and the state of city finances. REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION Council will consider acceptance of the 2024 Audit Report at the June 9, 2025 City Council Meeting.

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, 2024. 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, 2024, 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, 2024, 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. 600 Town Center Parkway, Lino Lakes, MN 55014 Phone: 651-982-2400 • Fax: 651-982-2499 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 22,376. The population has grown by over 30% since 2000. 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 1-35W 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 (streets 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. Approximately 76,000 square feet of industrial space was added in 2024. Five new free-standing national -chain projects are currently underway. 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. The City recently approved the 93 lot Nature's Refuge North, a single-family development and the City's largest residential development, the 864 lot Watermark project, expanded into its eighth addition. Multiple Factors Affecting Financial Condition (Continued) residential projects are currently in the review process from both local and national developers with construction expected to commence in summer of 2025. Overall, the City continued to see substantial development activity in 2024. The City issued building permits for 126 residential units and three new commercial establishments in 2024. The total building permit valuation was approximately $77 million. Long-term financial planning. The City's current Financial Plan identifies capital equipment purchases and building and infrastructure improvements totaling $92 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 2030. 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, 2023. This marks the twenty-ninth 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 2024 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.

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, 2024, 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 Managementfor 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 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. 400 Robert Street North, Suite 1600, St. Paul, MN, 55101 651.426.7000 www.redpathcpas.com 15 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. 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. 16 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 accompanying 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. 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. 17 Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 22, 2025 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. LL C REDPATH AND COMPANY, LLC St. Paul, Minnesota May 22, 2025 18 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, 2024. 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 $155,249,603 (net position). Of this amount, $43,812,026 (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 $10,930,604. As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $36,850,557, an increase of $2,833,504. Of this amount, $6,441,358 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 $9,556,417. Unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $8,931,762, or 70% of total general fund expenditures and other financing uses. In 2024, the City secured financing assistance from the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (MPFA) for the construction of a new water treatment plant. This funding package includes $16.5 million in Special Appropriations Grants from the State of Minnesota, along with grants from the Federal Drinking Water Revolving Fund. These grants are received on a reimbursement basis, during the year $3,840,963 was recognized as intergovernmental revenue. Additionally, the City was awarded up to $15,996,190 through the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan from the MPFA, structured as a water revenue note. Over the course of the year, the City issued $1,216,285 against the 2024 G.O. Water Revenue Note (MPFA), with further draws expected as construction progresses. No other new debt was issued, while regularly scheduled principal payments were made during the year. Total outstanding debt decreased by $975,009 during 2024. 19 Management's Discussion and Analysis 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. 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 20 Management's Discussion and Analysis 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. The City maintains six 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 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. 21 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 $155,249,603 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. The largest portion of the City's net position ($104,059,186 or 67%) 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.

The remaining balance of unrestricted net position ($43,812,026) 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. 22 Management's Discussion and Analysis The City's net position increased by $10,930,604 during 2024. Key elements of this increase are as follows: City of Lino Lakes' Changes in Net Position Governmental Activities Business -Type Activities Totals 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023 Revenues: Program revenues: Charges for services $3,911,025 $4,468,912 $4,817,812 $4,955,645 $8,728,837 $9,424,557 Operating grants and contributions 1,480,903 1,866,131 7,589 59,032 1,488,492 1,925,163 Capital grants and contributions 8,609,291 2,996,602 2,119,227 8,545 10,728,518 3,005,147 General revenues: General property taxes 14,158,781 12,868,894 - - 14,158,781 12,868,894 Othertaxes 196,911 217,779 - 196,911 217,779 Taxincrement 1,002,712 903,027 - 1,002,712 903,027 Grants and contributions not restricted to specific programs 2,364 270,011 - - 2,364 270,011 Unrestricted investment earnings 1,517,537 1,554,657 603,782 728,010 2,121,319 2,282,667 Gain on disposal of capital assets 143,601 35,689 - - 143,601 35,689 Total revenues 31,023,125 25,181,702 7,548,410 5,751,232 38,571,535 30,932,934 Expenses: General government 4,134,836 3,041,049 4,134,836 3,041,049 Public safety 7,045,702 7,130,294 7,045,702 7,130,294 Public works 6,218,466 5,604,543 6,218,466 5,604,543 Culture and recreation 3,283,500 3,350,309 - 3,283,500 3,350,309 Conservation of natural resources 732,201 257,150 - 732,201 257,150 Community development 287,271 531,413 - 287,271 531,413 Interest and fees on long-term debt 410,330 497,903 - - 410,330 497,903 Water - - 2,130,173 2,027,102 2,130,173 2,027,102 Sewer 2,989,132 2,535,243 2,989,132 2,535,243 Storm water - - 409,320 577,404 409,320 577,404 Total expenses 22,112,306 20,412,661 5,528,625 5,139,749 27,640,931 25,552,410 Increase in net position before transfers 8,910,819 4,769,041 2,019,785 611,483 10,930,604 5,380,524 Transfers (3,927,730) (516,310) 3,927,730 516,310 - - Change in net position 4,983,089 4,252,731 5,947,515 1,127,793 10,930,604 5,380,524 Net position -January 1 78,824,240 74,571,509 65,494,759 64,366,966 144,318,999 138,938,475 Net position - December 31 $83,807,329 $78,824,240 $71,442,274 $65,494,759 $155,249,603 $144,318,999 Governmental Activities Governmental activities increased the City's net position by $4,983,089 during 2024. Developer contributions were primarily responsible for the increase in net position, as well as an overall net reduction in long-term debt. Unrestricted investment earnings also played a role in the increase to net position in 2024, due to unrealized gains and interest earnings on investments with the stable interest rate environment. 23 Management's Discussion and Analysis Below are specific graphs which provide comparisons of the governmental activities revenues and expenses: Governmental Activities - Revenues Investment earnings Charges for services 12% F- Governmental Activities - Expenses Culture a Conservation of Community 28% 32% 24 Management's Discussion and Analysis Business -Type Activities Business -type activities increased the City's net position by $5,947,515 during 2024. Capital grants and contributions increased in 2024, resulting from developer contributed infrastructure, and the transfers -in of capital assets constructed in the governmental activities funds. Business - type activities had positive operating results in the Storm Water fund, but these were offset by operating losses in the Water and Sewer 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 $36,850,557. Approximately 17% of this total amount ($6,441,358) constitutes fund balance restricted by external constraints established by creditors, grantors, contributors, or by state statutory provisions. Of the remaining fund balance, $713,505 is not in a spendable form, $388,929 has been committed, $22,269,960 has been assigned, and $7,036,805 is unassigned. The General fund balance increased by $972,537. Overall revenues increased by approximately $1,143,000 over 2023. Property taxes, intergovernmental revenues and charges for services were the major drivers of the increase over the prior year due to an increased tax levy and increased state aids. The increases in revenues were partially offset by increased expenditures over 2023, however the City had fewer transfers -out, which resulted in the net increase in fund balance outperforming 2023 by $475,174. The Rookery Activity Center opened to the public in May 2022. The fund balance improved from a deficit of $5,067 to a positive $77,356 in 2024 resulting from positive operating activity, and an increase in the tax levy over the prior year levy. During 2024, the Fund had revenues over expenditures of $82,423, whereas 2023's expenditures exceeded revenues by $335,089. While the Rookery operating revenues fell short of budget, primarily in charges for services, expenditures were also under budget, primarily in personal services. The tax levy increased by $100,000 in 2025 with the goal of total revenues covering total expenditures for the current and future years. The G.O. Improvement Bonds of 2016B deficit fund balance increased by $1,728,204 during the year and the fund was closed at year end. 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 was expected to cover the interfund loan payable. During 2024 the interfund loan payable liability was transferred to the TIF 1-11 Legacy at Woods Edge Fund where it will continue to be reduced by future tax increment. The Capital Equipment Replacement fund balance increased by $679,463 due to a significant increase in the property tax levy and proceeds from the sale of fixed assets. The fund also reduced its interfund loan payable by its scheduled payments. The interfund loan payable will continue to be paid back with a tax levy over the next nine 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 $10,419,643, all of which is assigned for financing water and sewer capital improvements, including the new water treatment plant. The fund balance increased during the current year by $857,318 primarily due to investment earnings and trunk fees (either collected over time through special assessments or paid up front through charges for services). Intergovernmental revenues also were received for much of the covered project costs that were incurred during the year. 26 Management's Discussion and Analysis The MSA Construction Fund has a total fund balance of $4,283,196, all of which is assigned to capital improvements for City MSA designated roadways. The fund balance during the current year decreased by $527,228 primarily due to project costs exceeding revenues. Capital activity occurred on the Marketplace Drive realignment project and the Otter Lake Road extension during 2024. The combined fund balance of other governmental funds decreased by $959,213 during 2024 primarily due to debt repayments and nonmajor capital project funds activities. 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 a total net position at year-end of $38,808,686, of which $7,798,516 is unrestricted. The increase in net position of 5,094,747 was primarily due to capital contributions from governmental activities. The Area and Unit Trunk Fund is funding water infrastructure, including the water treatment plant and trunk watermain additions. The Sewer Fund has a total net position at year-end of $32,270,204 of which $10,081,789 is unrestricted. The increase in net position of $736,859 was primarily due to developer contributed infrastructure additions, particularly in the Watermark 5th and 6th Additions. The Storm Water Fund has a total net position at year-end of $363,384 of which all is unrestricted. The 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 no amendments to the original budget in 2024. Budgeted revenues for 2024 were $12,998,968. Actual revenues exceeded the budget by $727,213. General property taxes and other taxes were the only revenue source category that did not exceed its budget. Intergovernmental revenues were stronger than budgeted primarily due to recognizing the portion of the Fire State Aid which is passed through to the PERA Statewide Volunteer Firefighter Retirement Plan, which was not budgeted. Investment earnings also contributed to the positive budget variance. Budgeted expenditures for 2024 were $13,018,968. Actual expenditures were $529,874 under budgeted amounts. The main causes of the under -budget variances were due to personal services budgeting for positions that remained vacant during the year. The City carried out its budgeted transfer out to the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund but additionally made a small transfer out to the Comp Plan Update capital project fund and transferred out to the Office Equipment Replacement Fund for the reimbursement of the City's new financial ERP software. 27 Management's Discussion and Analysis Overall, the City budgeted for a $150,000 decrease in fund balance, whereas the actual change in fund balance was an increase of $972,537, which was $1,122,537 over the 2024 budget. 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, 2024, amounted to $123,663,377 (net of accumulated depreciation), an increase of $7,543,909 from the prior year. This investment in capital assets includes land, wetland credits, construction in progress, buildings, equipment, vehicles, and infrastructure. The Lake Drive Trunk Water Main, Pheasant Run Reconstruction, and Watermark Park were completed in 2024. The City is working to complete the Water Treatment Plant, Marketplace Drive realignment, Otter Lake Road extension, 2024 Trunk Watermain and the 2025 Street Reconstruction projects.

At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had total bonded debt outstanding of $16,942,509. All outstanding debt carries the general obligation backing for which the City is liable in the event of default by the property owners subject to the specific taxes, special assessments, or revenues pledged to the retirement of the debt. In addition, the City has issued a water revenue note payable to the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (MPFA) for construction costs of its water treatment plant. The City issued $1,216,285 on this note in 2024 and can borrow up to $15,996,190 over the construction period.

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 9,277,960 Capital outlay not capitalized (1,304,228) Depreciation (4,341,126) 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 3,449,565 Contributions of infrastructure to business -type activities (6,008,188) Gain (loss) on disposal of capital assets (196,696) 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 33,292 Change in delinquent special assessments receivable (2,189) Change in deferred special assessments receivable (952,442) 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 2,115,475 Amortization of bond premiums and discounts 75,819 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 27,817 Change in compensated absences payable (363,477) Change in OPEB liability and related deferred outflows and inflows of resources (27,492) 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. 365,495 Change in net position of governmental activities (Statement 2) $4,983,089 The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 42 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA STATEMENT OF NET POSITION Statement 7 PROPRIETARY FUNDS December 31, 2024 Business -Type Activities -

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. 47 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 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 parry receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or incidental activities. The City reports the following major governmental funds: The 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. The 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. The Capital Equipment Replacement Fund accounts for pay-as-you-go capital equipment financing and financing of capital equipment through donations. The Area and Unit Trunk Fund accounts for the collection of water and sewer unit charges to be used for debt payments and construction of infrastructure. The 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 48 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 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 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. 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. 49 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 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. 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. 50 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 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. 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 collected by the County 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 fully offset by deferred inflows of resources. 51 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 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 term. 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. 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 interf ind 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 $50,000 Land improvements $25,000 Equipment $10,000 Infrastructure $100,000 52 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 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 leave that is attributable to services already rendered, accumulates, and is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid is accrued in the government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if it has matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations or retirements. The current portion is calculated based on historical trends. O. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS In the government -wide and proprietary 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. 53 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 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. 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. 54 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 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, 2024, the bank balance of the City's deposits with financial institutions was $13,380,912 and the carrying amount was $13,289,330. All deposits were covered by federal depository insurance or by collateral pledge and held in the City's name. 55 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 B. INVESTMENTS Subject to rating, yield, maturity and issuer requirements as prescribed by statute, Minnesota Statutes I I8A.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. At December 31, 2024, the City had the following investments and maturities: Investment Municipal bonds Brokered certificate of deposits Federal agency securities External investment pools: 4M Liquid Asset Class 4M PLUS Class First American Treasury Obligation Fund Total Rating Investment Maturities (in Years) Fair Less Value Than 1 1-3 3-6 * $25,410,740 4,676,411 11,373,385 9,360,944 Not rated 9,337,295 3,853,079 4,736,827 747,389 AA+ 5,312,124 1,333,129 1,650,350 2,328,645 AAAm AAAm AAAm *AAA $3,050,383; AA+ $4,889,127; AA $12,462,851; AA- $4,513,909; A+ $494,470 713,386 713,386 - - 486,366 486,366 1,270,659 1,270,659 $42,530,570 $12,333,030 $17,760,562 $12,436,978 Total investments $42,530,570 Deposits 13,289,330 Cash on hand 1,440 Total cash and investments $55,821,340 The 4M Multi -Class Fund is regulated by Minnesota Statutes and the Board of Directors of the League of Minnesota Cities. The 4M Multi -Class Fund has two separate classes, the 4M Liquid Asset Class and the 4M PLUS Class. The 4M Multi -Class Fund is managed to maintain a portfolio weighted average maturity of no greater than 60 days and seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Fund's investments are measured at amortized cost in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 79. The 4M Liquid Asset Class has no redemption requirements. The 4M PLUS Class requires funds to be deposited for a minimum of 14 calendar days. Withdrawals prior to the 14-day restriction period are subject to a penalty equal to seven days interest on the amount withdrawn. The First American Treasury Obligation money market fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. The securities held by the fund are measured at amortized cost. Shares maybe redeemed without penalty on any business day. 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. 56 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 The City has the following recurring fair value measurements at December 31, 2024: Investment Type Investments at fair value: Municipal bonds Brokered certificate of deposits Federal agency securities Investments not categorized: 4M Liquid Asset Class 4M PLUS Class First American Treasury Obligation Fund Total investments C. INVESTMENT RISKS Fair Value Measurement Using 12/31/2024 Level Level Level $25,410,740 $ - $25,410,740 $ - 9,337,295 - 9,337,295 - 5,312,124 - 5,312,124 - $ - $40,060,159 $ - 713,386 486,366 1,270,659 $42,530,570 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, 2024, no individual investments exceeded 5% of the City's total investment portfolio. 57 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 Note 3 RECEIVABLES A. LONG-TERM RECEIVABLES Significant receivable balances not expected to be collected within one year of December 31, 2024 are as follows: Major Funds: General Fund Area and Unit Trunk MSA Construction Nonmajor Funds Total B. LEASES RECEIVABLE Property Special Taxes Assessments Leases Receivable Receivable Receivable Total $50,100 $ - $337,901 799,688 - 1,544,193 - 373,400 1,099,288 $388,001 799,688 1,544,193 1,472,688 $50,100 $2,717,281 $1,437,189 $4,204,570 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, 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%.

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 was repaid from franchise fee revenue. Water Revenue Note — the note was issued to fund the construction of a water treatment plant and will be repaid from pledged revenues derived from charges for services of the water fund.

The total amount of note proceeds available to disburse to the City is $15,996,190. The MPFA Bond Purchase and Project Loan Agreement defines Events of Default, including remedies if default were to occur. Remedies may include the following: 1) an interest penalty, 2) withhold approval of any disbursement request, 3) reject any pending application for financial assistance, 4) impose an immediate increase in the interest rate on the loan by eliminating all interest rate discounts, and 5) demand immediate payment of all outstanding principal and interest (to the extent permitted by law). 62 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 DEBT SERVICE REQUIREMENTS Future principal and interest payments required to retire long-term debt are as follows: GovermentalActivities Business -Type Activities Years Ending Bonded Debt G.O.

PLAN DESCRIPTION The City participates in the following cost -sharing multiple -employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). Plan provisions are established and administered according to Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 353, 353D, 353E, 353G and 356. Minnesota Statutes chapter 356 defines each plan's financial reporting requirements. PERA's defined benefit pension plans are tax qualified plans under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. 1. General Employees Retirement Plan (General Plan) Membership in the General Plan includes employees of counties, cities, townships, schools in non - certified positions, and other governmental entities whose revenues are derived from taxation, fees, or assessments. Plan membership is required for any employee who is expected to earn more than $425 in a month, unless the employee meets exclusion criteria. 2. Public Employees Police and Fire Retirement Plan (Police and Fire Plan) Membership in the Police and Fire Plan includes full-time, licensed police officers and firefighters who meet the membership criteria defined in Minnesota Statutes section 353.64 and who are not earning service credit in any other PERA retirement plan or local relief association for the same service. Employers can provide Police and Fire Plan coverage for part-time positions and certain other public safety positions by submitting a resolution adopted by the entity's governing body. The resolution must state that the position meets plan requirements. 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. When a member is "vested," they have earned enough service credit to receive a lifetime monthly benefit after leaving public service and reaching an eligible retirement age. Members who retire at or over their Social Security full retirement age with at least one year of service qualify for a retirement benefit. 1. General Employees Plan Benefits The General Employees Plan requires three years of service to vest. 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 General Plan members. Members hired prior to July 1, 1989 receive the higher of the Step or Level formulas. Only the Level formula is used for members hired after June 30, 1989. Under the Step formula, General Plan members receive 1.2% of the highest average salary for each of the first ten years of service and 1.7% for each additional year. Under the Level formula, General Plan members receive 1.7% of the highest average salary for all years of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full retirement benefit is available when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65. Members can receive a reduced requirement benefit as early as age 55 if they have three or more years of service. Early retirement benefits are reduced by 0.25% for each month under age 65. Members with 30 or more years of service can retire at any age with a reduction of 0.25% for each month the member is younger than age 62. The Level formula allows General Plan members to receive a full retirement benefit at age 65 if they were first hired before July 1, 1989 or at age 66 if they were hired on or after July 1, 1989. Early retirement begins at age 55 with an actuarial reduction applied to the benefit. 65 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 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%. The 2024 annual increase was 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. 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 prorated increase. 2. Police and Fire Plan Benefits Benefits for Police and Fire Plan members hired before July 1, 2010, are vested after three years of service. Members hired on or after July 1, 2010, are 50% vested after five years and 100% vested after ten years. After five years, vesting increases by 10% each full year of service until members are 100% vested after ten years. Police and Fire Plan members receive a full retirement benefit when they are age 55 and vested, or when their age plus their years of service equals 90 or greater if they were first hired before July 1, 1989. Early retirement starts at age 50, and early retirement benefits are reduced by 0.417% each month members are younger than age 55. 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. 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 prorated increase. C. CONTRIBUTIONS Minnesota Statutes Chapters 353, 353E, 353G, and 356 set the rates for employer and employee contributions. Contribution rates can only be modified by the state legislature. 1. General Employees Fund Contributions General Plan members were required to contribute 6.50% of their annual covered salary in fiscal year 2024 and the City was required to contribute 7.50% for General Plan members.

General Employees Fund Pension Costs At December 31, 2024, the City reported a liability of $1,802,947 for its proportionate share of the General Employee's Fund net pension liability.

The State of Minnesota's proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the City totaled $46,621. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.

Other amounts reported as deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows: Year Ended Pension December 31, Expense 2025 ($194,749) 2026 719,420 2027 (453,786) 2028 (1,172,082) 2029 36,552 Thereafter - The net pension liability will be liquidated by the general, water, sewer, and storm water funds. E. ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS The total pension liability in the June 30, 2024 actuarial valuation was determined using the entry -age normal actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions: Inflation Investment Rate of Return 2.25% per year 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 considered reasonable by the actuary. An investment return of 7.00% is within that range. Benefit increases after retirement are assumed to be 1.25% for the General Plan and 1.00% for the Police and Fire Plan. Salary growth assumptions in the General Plan range in annual increments from 10.25% after one year of service to 3.0% after 27 years of service. In the Police and Fire Plan, salary growth assumptions range in annual increments from 11.75% after one year of service to 3.0% after 24 years of service. Mortality rates for the General Plan were based on the Pub-2010 General Employee Mortality Table. Mortality rates for the Police and Fire Plan were based on the Pub-2010 Public Safety Employee Mortality tables. The tables are adjusted slightly to fit PERA's experience. Actuarial assumptions for the General Plan are reviewed every four years. The General Plan was last reviewed in 2022. The assumption changes were adopted by the board and became effective with the July 1, 2023 actuarial valuation. The Police and Fire Plan was reviewed in 2024. PERA anticipates the experience study will be approved by the Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement and become effective with the July 1, 2025 actuarial valuation. 70 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2024: General Employees Fund Changes in Actuarial Assumptions: • Rates of merit and seniority were adjusted, resulting in slightly higher rates. • Assumed rates of retirement were adjusted as follows: increase the rate of assumed unreduced retirements, slight adjustments to Rule of 90 retirement rates, and slight adjustments to early retirement rates for Tier 1 and Tier 2 members. • Minor increase in assumed withdrawals for males and females. • Lower rates of disability. • Continued use of Pub-2010 general mortality table with slight rate adjustments as recommended in the most recent experience study. • Minor changes to form of payment assumptions for male and female retirees. • Minor changes to assumptions made with respect to missing participant data. Changes in Plan Provisions: • The workers' compensation offset for disability benefits was eliminated. The actuarial equivalent factors updated to reflect the changes in assumptions. Police and Fire Fund Changes in Plan Provisions: • The State contribution of $9.0 million per year will continue until the earlier of 1) both the Police & Fire Plan and the State Patrol Retirement Fund attain 90 percent funded status for three consecutive years (on an actuarial value of assets basis) or 2) July 1, 2048. The contribution was previously due to expire after attaining a 90 percent funded status for one year. • The additional $9.0 million contribution will continue until the Police & Fire Plan is fully funded for a minimum of three consecutive years on an actuarial value of assets basis, or July 1, 2048, whichever is earlier. This contribution was previously due to expire upon attainment of fully funded status on an actuarial value of assets basis for one year (or July 1, 2048 if earlier). 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% 71 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 F. DISCOUNT RATE The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2024 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 General Plan and Police and Fire Plan 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. G. PENSION LIABILITY SENSITIVITY The following presents the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability, calculated using the discount rate disclosed in the preceding paragraph, as well as what the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate one percentage point lower (6.00%) or one percentage point higher (8.00%) than the current discount rate: 1% Decrease in Current 1% Increase in Discount Rate Discount Rate Discount Rate Proportionate share of the General Plan net pension liability $3,937,925 $1,802,947 $46,732 Proportionate share of the Police and Fire Plan net pension liability $7,014,474 $2,968,216 ($354,609) H.

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, 2023 (measurement date), the plan covered 19 active firefighters and two vested terminated firefighters 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 $170,000 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. 73 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 D. PENSION COSTS As of December 31, 2024, the City reported a net pension asset of $695,585 for the Volunteer Firefighter Fund. The net pension asset was measured as of December 31, 2023. 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 following table presents the changes in the net pension asset during the year: Beginning balance December 31, 2022 Changes for the year: Service cost Interest on pension liability Actuarial experience (gains) / losses Projected investment earnings Asset (gain) loss Contributions - employer Contributions - State of MN Benefit payments PERA administrative fee Net changes Plan Total Fiduciary Net Pension Net Pension Liability Position Asset (a) (b) (b-a) $538,056 $984,693 $446,637 62,261 - (62,261) 35,283 - (35,283) (17,070) - 17,070 63,446 63,446 95,976 95,976 - 170,000 170,000 (24,520) (24,520) - 55,954 304,902 248,948 Balance end of year December 31, 2023 $594,010 $1,289,595 $695,585 There were no benefit provision changes during the measurement period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the City recognized pension expense of ($2,968). At December 31, 2024, the City reported deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources: Deferred Outflows Deferred Inflows of Resources of Resources Difference between projected and actual investment earnings $25,167 $ - Differences between expected and actual economic experience 23,741 39,254 Total $48,908 $39,254 74 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 Amounts reported as deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows: Year Ended Pension December 31, Expense 2025 ($3,768) 2026 24,712 2027 19,724 2028 (20,509) 2029 (1,313) Thereafter (9,192) E. ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS The total pension liability at December 31, 2023 was determined using the entry age normal actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions: • Retirement eligibility at the later of age 50 or 20 years of service • Investment rate of return of 6.0% • Inflation rate of 3.0% There were no changes in actuarial assumptions in 2023. F. DISCOUNT RATE The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.0%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions to the Volunteer Firefighter Fund will be made at a rate equal to the actuarially determined contribution rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was 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. G. PENSION LIABILITY SENSITIVITY The following presents the City's net pension asset for the Volunteer Firefighter Fund, calculated using the assumed discount rate as well as what the City's net pension asset would be if it were calculated using a discount rate 1% lower or 1% higher than the current discount rate: 1% Decrease in Current 1% Increase in Discount Rate (5.0%) Discount Rate (6.0%) Discount Rate (7.0%) Net pension asset $661,372 $695,585 $728,343 75 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 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 I IA 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-TermFxpected Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return Domestic Stocks 35% 5.10% International Stocks 15% 5.30% Bonds 45% 0.75% Cash 5% 0.000/0 100% 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 2023 for the Volunteer Firefighter Fund. I. PENSION PLAN FIDUCIARY NET POSITION Detailed information about the Volunteer Firefighter Fund's fiduciary net position is available in a separately -issued PERA financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained at www.nmpera.org. 76 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 Note 9 POST -EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS 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 As of the January 1, 2023 actuarial valuation, participants of the plan consisted of: Active employees 65 Inactive employees orbeneficiaries currently receiving benefits 5 Total 70 77 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 D. TOTAL OPEB LIABILITY AND CHANGES IN TOTAL OPEB LIABILITY The City's total OPEB liability of $841,031 was measured as of December 31, 2024 and was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2023. Changes in the total OPEB liability during 2024 were: Balance -beginning of year $802,063 Changes for the year: Service cost 63,419 Interest 33,911 Changes of benefit terms Differences between expected and actual experience Changes in assumptions (22,573) Benefit payments (35,789) Net changes 38,968 Balance - end of year $841,031 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 and therefore, is not presented separately from the amount due in more than one year on the statement of net position. 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 4.28% Investment rate of return N/A Healthcare cost trend rates 6.00% for 2024, decreasing 0.25% per year to an ultimate rate of 5.00% 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 were based on the 20-year AA rated municipal bond rate as of December 31, 2024, 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. 78 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 F.

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. Tax increment revenue from TIF District 1-11 was used to finance debt service payments on the G.O. Improvement Bonds of 2016B. The bonds matured in 2021. Future tax increment collections will eliminate the deficit in TIF Fund 1-11. TIF District 1-12 had a pay-as-you-go revenue note. Tax Increment Revenue Note Series 2017 was issued in the principal sum of $1,200,000 and was payable solely from available tax increments. Current year payments on the note totaled $94,040 and the outstanding balance at December 31, 2024 was $0. TIF District 1-13 has an outstanding pay-as-you-go revenue note.

Principal payments are due February 1st and August 1st and are equal to 95% of the tax increment revenues collected in the preceding six months. Current year payments on the note totaled $159,511 and the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2024 was $3,496,489. 83 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 Note 15 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES A. LITIGATION The City has been named in a lawsuit pertaining to development. The matter is inactive discovery. The City denies any liability and is defending its interests in the litigation. At this time, the outcome or any potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated, although any potential loss is expected to be covered by insurance. 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, 2024. C. COMMITTED CONTRACTS At December 31, 2024, the City had commitments of $25,179,862 for uncompleted construction contracts. 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. 84 CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 Note 17 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Governmental Accounting Standards Boards (GASB) recently approved the following statements which were not implemented for these financial statements: Statement No. 102 Certain Risk Disclosures.

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.

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 24, 2025. 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. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during 2024, except that the City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the financial statements. 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 financial statements are the 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 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. 400 Robert Street North, Suite 1600, St. Paul, MN, 55101 651.426.7000 www.redpathcpas.com 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, Note 10A — Deficit Fund Balances and Note 15A — Litigation. 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 uncorrected misstatements that have an effect on our opinion on the financial statements. The uncorrected misstatements or the matters underlying them could potentially cause future period financial statements to be materially misstated, even though, in our judgment, such uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the financial statements under audit. There were no corrected 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 22, 2025. 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. City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota Communication With Those Charged With Governance Page 3 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 schedules, 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 and 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. REDPATH AND COMPANY, LLC St. Paul, Minnesota May 22, 2025 AN DREdp^l Y 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 A UDITING 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, 2024, 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 22, 2025. 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. 400 Robert Street North, Suite 1600, St. Paul, MN, 55101 651.426.7000 www.redpathcpas.com 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 entity'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 entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Kam. A.L C.." LLC REDPATH AND COMPANY, LLC St. Paul, Minnesota May 22, 2025 REdNTNYH A N D C O MP 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, 2024, 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 22, 2025. 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. /7ejpA A.L C.." , uc REDPATH AND COMPANY, LLC St. Paul, Minnesota May 22, 2025 400 Robert Street North, Suite 1600, St. Paul, MN, 55101 651.426.7000 www.redpathcpas.com CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 4 STAFF ORGINATOR: Katie Larsen, City Planner DATE OF WORK SESSION: June 2, 2025 TOPIC: Java Lino Lakes 2nd Addition Preliminary Plat BACKGROUND At the Work Session, staff will present the June 9, 2025 Council staff report.

When the Market Place Dr signal was installed the median at 77th St was also installed. The intent was that 77th would realign Java Properties - Lino Retail 2.0 Engineering Review Ms. Katie Larsen 05/07/2025 Page 8 in the future to provide that access again at Market Place Dr. This has been a long standing plan of the City in coordination with Anoka County. Anoka County completed an corridor study of Lake Drive in 2020, from Hodgson Rd to Pine St. This study evaluated access and mobility. As improvements are completed on Lake Dr in the future the mobility will improve throughout the corridor. This study can be found on Anoka County's website. The Lino Retail 2.0 project site proposes one access to the north and one access to the south of the realigned Market Place Drive. There will be stubs to the north and south to extend the drive aisles further in the future. Reference the easement section here within and planner's report for access easement information. As required by Ordinance the applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Study. The proposed development is expected to generate approximately 214 AM peak hour, 212 PM peak hour, and 2,680 daily trips. 95% of the daily trips will go directly from the site to Market Place Dr and eastbound to Lake Dr. Traffic from the proposed development on adjacent local roadways is considered minimal. Marilyn Dr existing volumes are 170 daily trips and with the Market Place realignment 270 trips per day are estimated, with the proposed development 370 daily trips. 77th St existing volumes are 175 daily trips and with the Market Place realignment 250 trips per day are estimated, with the proposed development 280 daily trips. These volumes are well under capacity for the local roadways. The study also analyzed capacity of the following intersections: CSAH 23 (Lake Dr) & Market Place Dr CSAH 23 (Lake Dr) & 77th St W 77th St W & Marilyn Dr To evaluate the intersection of CSAH 23 (Lake Dr) & Market Place Dr the intersection of CSAH 23 (Lake Dr) & 79th St was included in the study. The build condition capacity analysis has an overall LOS A during AM and PM peak hours thus meeting ordinance. There are no delay or queuing issues identified. Sidewalk will be installed by the City along Market Place Dr from Lake Dr to 77th St/ Marilyn Dr. There is also sidewalk along Lake Dr in the development area. There are pedestrian crossings at the intersection of CSAH 23 (Lake Dr) & Market Place Dr. The City has a future tail planned along Lake Dr from Apollo Drive to Main Street. Comments: 2.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Lino Lakes, Minnesota that: FINDINGS OF FACT Per City Code Section 1001.013, Premature Subdivision: (1) General. Any concept plan, preliminary plat or final plat deemed premature pursuant to the following criteria shall be denied by the City Council. (2) Conditions for establishing a premature subdivision. A subdivision maybe deemed premature should any of the following conditions not be met. (a) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Including any of the following: 1. Land use plan; 2. Transportation plan; 3. Utility (sewer and water) plans; 4. Local water management plan; 5. Capital improvement plan; and 6. Growth management policies, including MUSA allocation criteria. Java Lino Lakes 2nd Addition preliminary plat is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan. (b) Consistency with infill policies. A proposed urban subdivision shall meet the city's infill policies: 1. The urban subdivision must be located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) or the staged growth area as established by the city's Comprehensive Plan; 2. The cost of utilities and street extensions must be covered by one or more of the following: a. An immediate assessment to the proposed subdivision; b. One hundred percent of the street and utility costs are privately financed by the developer; c. The cost of regional and/or oversized trunk utility lines can be financed with available city trunk funds; and d. The cost and timing of the expenditure of city funds are consistent with the city's capital improvement plan. 3. The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system are consistent with the normal costs as projected by the water and sewer rate study; and 4. The developer payments will offset additional costs of utility installation or future operation and maintenance. Java Lino Lakes 2nd Addition preliminary plat is consistent with infill policies. The development is within the current Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025). The cost and timing of the expenditure of city funds are consistent with the city's capital improvement plan. The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system are consistent with the normal costs projected by the water and sanitary rate study. No future utility costs are proposed. (c) Roads or highways to serve the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall meet the following requirements for level of service (LOS), as defined by the Highway Capacity Manual: 1. If the existing level of service (LOS) outside of the proposed subdivision is A or B, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service more than one grade; 2. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is C, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below C; 3. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is D, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below D; 4. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections providing access to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F, the subdivision developer must provide, as part of the proposed project, improvements needed to ensure a level of service D or better; 5. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision must have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed subdivision or the developer will pay to correct any structural deficiencies; 6. The traffic generated from a proposed subdivision shall not require city street improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lakes capital improvement plan. However, the city may, at its discretion, consider developer -financed improvements to correct any street deficiencies; 7. The LOS requirements in divisions (2)(c)1. to 4. above do not apply to the 1-35W/Lake Drive or 1-35E/Main St. interchanges. At city discretion, interchange impacts must be evaluated in conjunction with Anoka County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and a plan must be prepared to determine improvements needed to resolve deficiencies. This plan must determine traffic generated by the subdivision project, how this traffic contributes to the total traffic, and the time frame of the improvements. The plan also must examine financing options, including project contribution and cost sharing among other jurisdictions and other properties that contribute to traffic at the interchange; and 8. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination. Java Lino Lakes 2nd Addition preliminary plat meets the requirements for level of service (LOS). The proposed Level of Service does not degrade by more than one (1) LOS, therefore, the development is not considered premature. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed subdivision. No street improvements are proposed that are inconsistent with the City's capital improvement plan. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination. (d) Water supply. A proposed subdivision shall be deemed to have an adequate water supply when: 1. The city water system has adequate wells, storage or pipe capacity to serve the subdivision; 2. The water utility extension is consistent with the Lino Lakes water plan and offers the opportunity for water main looping to serve the urban subdivision; 3.

Sheet C1, Total Site Plan shows potential future development of the site. This is not a final plan. Future development of the outlots will require preliminary plat and final plat. Streets and Alleys CSAH 14 (Main Street) is an A -Minor Arterial Connector county road. No additional access points or driveways are allowed along this section of Main Street. 2111 Avenue North is a minor collector City road. Per Document #2075334.005, Declaration of Access Control, full access to the 14 acre site exists 600 feet north of Main Street from a private driveway, just south of the park and ride. The proposed access 300ft north of Main Street will be restricted to right in/right out. There are no public streets being constructed within the development. The internal system will be private driveways. A shared driveway and maintenance agreement will be required for all private driveways and joint off-street parking areas. Easements Standard drainage and utility easements at least 10 feet wide have been provided along the lot lines. Public Land Dedication The City will collect cash fee in lieu of land dedication for commercial development at the time of final plat. Clearwater Commons 2.28 acres x $2,600 per acre = $5,928 Site and Building Plan Review A separate land use application for Site and Building Plan Review for the proposed Chipotle Restaurant has been submitted. A restaurant is a permitted use in the GB, General Business district; therefore, site and building plans will be reviewed administratively by staff. Grading Plan and Stormwater Management Per the City Engineer Memo-Chipotle (Clearwater Commons) dated May 7, 2025: Stormwater management for the Chipotle site consists of constructing an underground BMP on the east side of the site and leveraging an existing stormwater basin in the southwest corner of the site. Pre- and Post- Development Discharge Rates (cfs) Condition 2-Year 10-Year 100-Year 10-Day Snowmelt I] Existing 9.37 14.37 21.04 Not required Proposed 8.23 10.24 20.89 Not required Additional comments/revisions are noted in the attached City Engineer memo. Public Utilities The site will be municipally served by an 8" sanitary sewer main and 8" watermain along 21s' Avenue North. Tree Preservation, Mitigation Standards and Landscaping Per the April 30, 2025 Environmental Board staff report, a resource inventory was completed for the project showing 10 trees proposed for impacts. 9 of the trees are poplar and 1 willow that would be considered significant trees. A survey of all significant trees onsite will be required along with noting where the proposed removals are within the site. Determinations should be made for the basic use area and any ESA's within the site. Final tree mitigation will be completed with each specific site. Canopy cover, foundation landscaping, and screening requirements will be reviewed separately for each commercial development. Signage A separate Sign Permit Application with detailed sign information is required for any permanent or temporary signage. Impervious Surface Coverage Impervious surface coverage will be reviewed during site and building plan review for each lot. Traffic Study A Traffic Study was prepared by SSTS, LLC dated April 2, 2025. The study analyzed the following intersections: • Main St (CSAH 14) & 215t Avenue North • 2151 Avenue North and Bank Driveway • 215Y Avenue North and Michaud Way TriD Generation 5 The Proposed Project is estimated to generate the following new trips (not including pass -by trips) on the roadway network: • 107 trips (58 entering and 49 exiting) during the morning traffic peak hour • 90 trips (45 entering and 45 exiting) during the evening traffic peak hour • 1,496 daily trips Table 4.

Applicant Narrative Land Use Application Clearwater Commons Applicant: Capital Real Estate Inc. Date Submitted: March 3, 2025 Project Narrative Capital Real Estate Inc. is pleased to submit plans for a new commercial retail development at the northeast corner of Main Street and 21 st Avenue North. We are proposing to subdivide the existing Outlot A, Alino Addition to create a 2.28 acre development abutting Main Street, further subdivided into three parcels. The proposed occupants of the lots include Chipotle, Valvoline and a third, to -be -determined use. With this application, we are applying for the following entitlements: • Preliminary Plat (5 to 40 acres); • Vacation of existing Utility and Drainage easements (to be replaced with a reconfigured easement area); • [Final plat to follow by separate application]. The intent of the Project is to provide and construct a commercial development with associated infrastructure that includes grading for a drive aisle connection to 21 st Avenue north to serve three (3) retail buildings and associated site improvements, including parking lot areas, stormwater improvements and landscaping (the "Project"). At the same time, the applicant is proposing to construct an interior private drive to connect the Project to the existing drive aisle to the north, which runs along the south boundary of the existing park-n-ride facility and out to 21St Avenue North. Construction is expected to begin in Summer 2025 following watershed district approvals, preliminary and final plat approval and Site Plan Approval from the City of Lino Lakes. Per the checklist for Preliminary Plat requirements: Item 104. This application should not be deemed a premature subdivision pursuant to section 1001.013. The proposed development is (a) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, (b) consistent with infill policies, (c) roads or highways are available to serve the subdivision [applicable findings of traffic report forthcoming], (d) water supply is adequate and (e) waste disposal system is adequate. Item 110. No conservation easements or establishment of homeowners association are proposed. Buyer and Seller are currently negotiating exclusive use covenants for the benefit of the proposed restaurants and retailers provided but no document is currently available. This will be a private document, recorded by separate instrument at same time as plat filing. A final version can be made available for city review as a part of the Final plat application. No common open spaces are proposed. Item 111. A proposed private variable width access and utility easement is shown on the Preliminary Plat covering the east / west drive aisle that straddles the northerly property line of Land Use Application Clearwater Commons Applicant: Capital Real Estate Inc. Date Submitted: March 3, 2025 the proposed development and the southerly boundary of the remaining property to the north. A Reciprocal Easement Agreement will be entered into between Buyer and Seller appointing one party the maintaining owner of any common improvements within the easement area. A proposed private 50' access and utility easement is shown on the preliminary Plat covering the north/south drive aisle connecting the proposed development to the existing private drive to the north. A Reciprocal Easement Agreement will be entered into between Buyer and Seller appointing one party the maintaining owner of any common improvements within the easement area. From these easement areas, private utilities, drainage and roads can be extended in the future to serve adjacent property. Stormwater / Wetlands / Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Application has been made to RCWD for both Wetland Mitigation approval and a Stormwater Permit and is currently under review. • The proposed fill of existing wetlands along 21 st Avenue North is proposed to be offset by the purchase of wetland mitigation credits. The southwest corner of the proposed development is currently a stormwater pond that receives runoff from 21 st Avenue North and the other stormwater ponds on the east side of 21 st Avenue North. The pond then outflows to the southwest to connect to City storm sewer. This pond is currently subject to a rectangular Drainage and Utility Easement. We are proposing to reconfigure the pond area, including construction of a retaining wall (approximately 4.5' tall at its highest point) to reduce the size but maintain the same volume within the pond. A portion of the Drainage and Utility Easement is to be vacated. Other stormwater requirements for the new development are proposed to be satisfied by a shared, underground stormwater facility that discharges into the reconfigured pond in the southwest corner of the development. 2 Attachment 3.

Please note that no plantings or private signs will be permitted within the county right of way and care must be exercised when locating private signs, building, structures, plantings, berms, etc. outside of the county right of way, so as not to create any new sight obstructions for this section of CSAH 14. Stormwater Management The stormwater management calculations for the Clearwater Commons preliminary plat match those of the Chipotle site, see comments for that site. Additional comments on detailed storm sewer review may still come up for the non-Chipotle lots as they submit for site plan reviews. • Water Supply The existing 8" watermain stub at the intersection with 21st Avenue will be utilized and extended to the eastern limits of the development to serve the 3 commercial lots to the south and potentially one or more of the future commercial lots to the north. Comments: 1. We recommend that the City Deputy Director of Public Safety -Fire Division review the proposed plan for water supply and hydrant coverage. a. Verify adequate fire flows for 8" non -looped design 2. Call out all utility crossings a. Provide minimum 18" separation between water and sewer b. Insulate when separation between water and storm sewer is less than 36" 3. Provide utility service(s) for future commercial lots to the north a. Consider extending watermain along access road north and looping to Michaud Way to improve resiliency and limit impacts to the roadway with possible future utility installations. 4. Note existing 8" gate valve shown on watermain stub in record plans a. Test existing gate valve (2015) and if keeping i.

Call out phase limits for Lot 2 water service Sanitary Sewer The existing 8" sanitary sewer stub at the intersection with 21 st Avenue will be utilized and extended to the eastern limits of the development to serve the 3 commercial lots to the south and potentially one or more of the future commercial lots to the north. Comments: Clearwater Commons — Engineering Review Ms. Katie Larsen 5/7/2025 Page 3 1. Match existing sanitary sewer pipe slope (0.40% - field verify) from connection through to first structure 2. Adjust SAN MH 1-6 location such that angles are at or greater than 90 degrees a. Avoid placing in proposed wheel paths b. Better clarify (provide detail) how the proposed 3'+ drop will be achieved 3. Consider 6" (instead of 4") diameter services for Lots 1 & 2 for future flexibility of commercial tenants 4. DOLI typically requires minimum 2.00% slope with service pipes less than 8" • Transportation The current Clearwater Commons development proposes extending an access road to the east from the existing entrance at 21 st Avenue and extending to the eastern development limits. A second access road is proposed to be teed from the first access road to the north to connect to Michaud Way. A traffic study and analysis was conducted for the overall development and redline comments will be provided for the submitted study. Comments: A right -in right -out access is required at the intersection of the access road with 215t Avenue a. A median (porkchop) at the intersection will be required to direct traffic 2. The submitted Traffic Impact Study is in the process of being reviewed and additional comments will be forthcoming. 3. Provide specific typical sections for access roads a. Note proposed road crown or cross drainage 4. Per Anoka County Review a. As proposed, the plat will not introduce any new access points onto CSAH 14, and the right of access is dedicated to Anoka County in the plat. • Wetlands and Mitigation Plan The site is proposing to impact 28,573 square feet of an existing wetland. This impact is proposed to be offset by purchasing wetland credits. • Landscaping The City's Environmental Coordinator to review landscaping and provide additional in- depth comments when provided. Comments: 1. It is recommended that tree plantings are deconflicted with drainage structures to avoid future root intrusion. This conflict is present for CBMH 4-8. • Floodplain Clearwater Commons — Engineering Review Ms. Katie Larsen 5/7/2025 Page 4 No floodplain impacts are proposed on site. Drainage and Utility Easements Comments: 1. Clarify limits of public and private utilities a. Additional utility easements are to be provided with shared utility mainline extensions (not services). 2. Drainage and utility easements are required for stormwater systems. This includes the area encompassing the 100-yr HWL of any BMPs. Existing utility (sanitary and water) easements to remain and additional utility easements are to be provided with shared utility mainline extensions (not services). 3. The full footprint of the underground BMP must be contained within a drainage and utility easement. 4. Per Anoka County Review a. The existing right of way along CSAH 14 is approximately 80 feet north of centerline which should be sufficient for future reconstruction purposes. • Development Agreement A Development Agreement will be required with the final plat. • Grading Agreement Grading agreement not required at this time. • Stormwater Maintenance Agreement The stormwater facilities will be privately maintained and a Declaration for Maintenance of Stormwater Facilities will be required. Both the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) and the City of Lino Lakes shall be parties to the Declaration. • Permits Required 1. NPDES General Construction Permit 2.

Clearwater Commons — Engineering Review Attachment& Environmental Coordinator Memo dated May5, 2025 CITY; OF IN KES To: Katie Larsen, City Planner From: Tom Hoffman, Environmental Coordinator Environmental Memo Date: April 30, 2025 Re: Environmental Comments —Clearwater Commons Preliminary Plat Environmental Board had recommended the following at their April 30, 2025 meeting: 1. Recommend stubbing or extending future sidewalk to the north along the proposed road for future pedestrian connections. 2. Sidewalk can be added when additional lots are subdivided for development. Stubbing the sidewalk now will make sure the pedestrian ramps will be in compliance and not have to regrade or remove existing walk. 3. Ten trees are proposed for impacts on the resource inventory page. Provide a tree survey of all trees onsite that are significant. 4. Trees to be removed should be categorized by area. If they are in the basic use area mitigation is not required. Trees within an ESA require additional mitigation. 5. Landscaping and planting requirements are to be met individually as each lot develops. 6. Show maintenance access to the new proposed outlet to the existing sw stormwater basin. It appears that the proposed retaining wall would limit future maintenance. 7. Currently proposing sod along the SW stormwater basin. This area should have a native buffer. Use MNDOT seed mix to establish buffer 8. Sod is being proposed along private road, recommend using low mow turf grass or native grasses where feasible. 9. Water conservation should be considered by reducing areas that need required maintenance and watering. 10. Stormwater management for the site is to be reviewed by the City Engineer and will be required for each site to meet requirements at the time of building. 11. Proposed underground filtration will require pretreatment and additional access points for future maintenance and inspection. 12. Redundant perimeter control is shown around wetlands and existing stormwater facilities. Note or show detail that redundant perimeter control should be spaced 3-5' apart. 13. Final review of erosion and sediment control will be completed with final plans. 14. Review of rare, unique, and sensitive areas should be completed for the site. Primarily areas of wetland impact should be included to verify there are no rare or endangered wetland species. 15. Copy of final NPDES permit will be required be issuance of grading permit. All requirements for the SWPPP shall meet MPCA design standards. Provide a Blandings Turtle mitigation plan Page 2 Attachment 7. Anoka County Highway Department Letter dated April 30, 2025 Anoka County TRANSPORTATION DIVISION Highway Katie Larsen City of Lino Lakes April 30, 2025 600 Town Center Pkwy Lino Lakes, MN 55014-1182 RE: Preliminary Plat — Clearwater Commons Dear Katie, We have reviewed the Preliminary Plat for Clearwater Commons to be located north of CSAH 14 (Main Street) and east of 221 sc Avenue North within the City of Lino Lakes, and I offer the following comments: • The existing right of way along CSAH 14 is approximately 80 feet north of centerline which should be sufficient for future reconstruction purposes. • As proposed, the plat will not introduce any new access points onto CSAH 14, and the right of access is dedicated to Anoka County in the plat. Any existing driveways and field entrances shall be removed, and the ditch section restored to match existing depth, slope, and grades. • Internal site grading shall not commence until the requested ACHD Engineering plan approvals are received and the applicable permits can be issued. • Any utility relocation in the CSAH 14 right of way will be required to be coordinated directly by the city/developer. • Please note that no plantings or private signs will be permitted within the county right of way and care must be exercised when locating private signs, building, structures, plantings, berms, etc. outside of the county right of way, so as not to create any new sight obstructions for this section of CSAH 14. ACHD would like to work with local governments in promoting compatibility between land use and the county highway system. It should be recognized that residential land uses located adjacent to County highways often results in complaints about traffic noise. Existing and/or future traffic noise from CSAH 14 could exceed noise standards established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Minnesota Rule 7030.0030 states that municipalities are responsible for taking all reasonable measures to prevent land use activities listed in the MPCA's Noise Area Classification (NAC) where establishment of the land use would result in violations of established noise standards. It is advised that the City and the Developer assess the noise situation for this development as it is proposed to be located directly adjacent to CSAH 14 and take the level of action deemed necessary to minimize the impact of any highway noise by incorporating the appropriate noise mitigation elements into the design and phasing of this plat as applicable.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Lino Lakes, Minnesota that: FINDINGS OF FACT Per City Code Section 1001.013, Premature Subdivision: (1) General. Any concept plan, preliminary plat or final plat deemed premature pursuant to the following criteria shall be denied by the City Council. (2) Conditions for establishing a premature subdivision. A subdivision maybe deemed premature should any of the following conditions not be met. (a) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Including any of the following: 1. Land use plan; 2. Transportation plan; 3. Utility (sewer and water) plans; 4. Local water management plan; 5. Capital improvement plan; and 6. Growth management policies, including MUSA allocation criteria. Clearwater Commons preliminary plat is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan. (b) Consistency with infill policies. A proposed urban subdivision shall meet the city's infill policies: 1. The urban subdivision must be located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) or the staged growth area as established by the city's Comprehensive Plan; 2. The cost of utilities and street extensions must be covered by one or more of the following: a. An immediate assessment to the proposed subdivision; b. One hundred percent of the street and utility costs are privately financed by the developer; c. The cost of regional and/or oversized trunk utility lines can be financed with available city trunk funds; and d. The cost and timing of the expenditure of city funds are consistent with the city's capital improvement plan. 3. The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system are consistent with the normal costs as projected by the water and sewer rate study; and 4. The developer payments will offset additional costs of utility installation or future operation and maintenance. Clearwater Commons preliminary plat is consistent with infill policies. The development is within the current Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025). The cost and timing of the expenditure of city funds are consistent with the city"s capital improvement plan. The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system are consistent with the normal costs projected by the water and sanitary rate study. No future utility costs are proposed. (c) Roads or highways to serve the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall meet the following requirements for level of service (LOS), as defined by the Highway Capacity Manual: 1. If the existing level of service (LOS) outside of the proposed subdivision is A or B, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service more than one grade; 2. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is C, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below C; 3. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is D, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below D; 4. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections providing access to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F, the subdivision developer must provide, as part of the proposed project, improvements needed to ensure a level of service D or better; 5. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision must have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed subdivision or the developer will pay to correct any structural deficiencies; 6. The traffic generated from a proposed subdivision shall not require city street improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lakes capital improvement plan. However, the city may, at its discretion, consider developer -financed improvements to correct any street deficiencies; 7. The LOS requirements in divisions (2)(c)1. to 4. above do not apply to the 1-35W/Lake Drive or 1-35E/Main St. interchanges. At city discretion, interchange impacts must be evaluated in conjunction with Anoka County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and a plan must be prepared to determine improvements needed to resolve deficiencies. This plan must determine traffic generated by the subdivision project, how this traffic contributes to the total traffic, and the time frame of the improvements. The plan also must examine financing options, including project contribution and cost sharing among other jurisdictions and other properties that contribute to traffic at the interchange; and 8. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination. Clearwater Commons preliminary plat meets the requirements for level of service (LOS). The proposed Level of Service does not degrade by more than one (1) LOS, therefore, the development is not considered premature. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed subdivision. No street improvements are proposed that are inconsistent with the City"s capital improvement plan. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination. (d) Water supply. A proposed subdivision shall be deemed to have an adequate water supply when: 1. The city water system has adequate wells, storage or pipe capacity to serve the subdivision; 2. The water utility extension is consistent with the Lino Lakes water plan and offers the opportunity for water main looping to serve the urban subdivision; 3. The extension of water mains will provide adequate water pressure for personal use and fire protection; and 4. The rural subdivision can demonstrate that each of the proposed lots can be provided with a potable water supply. Clearwater Commons preliminary plat will have an adequate water supply. (e) Waste disposal systems. A proposed subdivision shall be served with adequate waste disposal systems when: 1. The urban sewered subdivision is located inside the city's MUSA or is consistent with the MUSA allocation criteria; 2. The city has sufficient MUSA and pipe capacity to serve the subdivision if developed to its maximum density; 3. The subdivision will result in a sewer extension consistent with Lino Lakes sewer plan and capital improvement plan; 4. A rural subdivision can demonstrate that each lot can be served by an adequate sanitary sewer disposal system; and 5. A rural subdivision with a proposed communal sanitary sewer or water system has an effective long range management and maintenance program with proper financing. Clearwater Commons preliminary plat will be served with an adequate waste disposal system. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Clearwater Commons preliminary plat is not a premature subdivision; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Clearwater Commons preliminary plat is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. A shared access, parking, and maintenance agreement and exhibit shall be recorded. 2. The Permanent Utility and Drainage Easement per Doc.

The development contains three (3) parcels totaling approximately 25 gross acres and 90 housing units. Tentative Review Schedule: Complete Application Date: April 14, 2025 60-Day Deadline: June 13, 2025 Environmental Board Meeting: April 30, 2025 Park Board Meeting: May 7, 2025 Planning & Zoning Board Meeting: May 14, 2025 City Council Work Session: June 2, 2025 City Council Meeting: N/A The Land Use Application is for the following: • PUD Concept Plan/Concept Plan ("concept plan") Future land use applications may include: • Rezone property from R, Rural to R2, R3, or PUD • PUD Preliminary Plan/Preliminary Plat • PUD Final Plan/Final Plat This staff report is based on the following submittals: • Applicant Narrative dated April 10, 2025 1 • Concept Plans prepared by Carlson McCain dated March 21, 2025 • Net Area Exhibit prepared by Carlson McCain dated March 21, 2025 • Resource Inventory prepared by Carlson McCain dated March 21, 2025 • Concept Yield Plan prepared by Carlson McCain dated March 21, 2025 BACKGROUND Current Proposal The development will consist of 38 single-family homes on 60ft wide lots and 52 townhomes for a total of 90 housing units. See the attached applicant's narrative for a detailed description of the development. Land Use The following table includes land uses, acres and %. Land Use Acres CSAH 54 ROW I 0.22 I 0.9% Internal ROW 2.89 11.8% 60ft Single Family Lots 8.41 34.3% Townhome Lots 2.30 9.4% Townhome Common Lots 4.03 16.4% Townhome Private Drives 0.83 3.4% Open Space 2.67 6.0% Wetlands (in outlots) 1.00 9.0% Floodplain I 2.20 9.0% TOTAL 24.55 100.0% Total open space (townhome common lots, open space, wetlands, floodplain) is approximately 9.9 acres or 40%. ANALYSIS Existing Conditions Per the Narrative, the 11 acre Nelson parcel contains an existing house and accessory structures. The 14 acre Rehbein parcels have been used for agricultural purposes. A 30ft wide powerline easement exists along the west lot lines. Wetlands and floodplain exist on site. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use K Direction Zoning Current Land Use 2040 Future Land Use North City of Centerville Industrial Industrial R-1, Single Family Single family Low Density South Residential residential Residential East R, Rural Rural Residential Medium Density West City of Centerville Agriculture City of Centerville Comprehensive Plan Land Use Per the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the 25 acre site is guided medium density residential which requires 4.0-6.0 units per net acre. Per the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the site is in Planning District 3. There are no specific planning goals or issues that need to be addressed for this site. Density The following chart is a preliminary density analysis using Met Council's density formula: Gross Area (acres) 24.55 Wetlands & Water Bodies (1.81) Public Parks & Open Space 0.00 Arterial ROW (0.22) Other (Utility Transmission Easement) (0.54) Other (Wetland Buffer Area) (0.84) Other (Floodplain Mitigation) (1.21) Net Area (acres) 19.93 # of Units 90 Gross Density (units/acre) I 3.67 Net Density (units/acre) 4.52 The site is guided medium density residential which requires 4.0-6.0 units per net acre. The proposed development is 4.52 units per net acre, which is consistent with land use and density requirements. Growth Management Strategy Page 3-17 of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan details the City's Growth Management Strategy. The strategy works in conjunction with the City's utility staging plan. The City will plan to accommodate an annual average of 230 units per year over each 5-year phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any one year. From 2010 to 2024, the City's average annual number of units is 123. This is less than the allowed 230 unit annual allocation. The proposed 90 lot development would be consistent with the growth management strategy. Current Zoning and Land Use Current Zoning R, Rural Current Land Use Agricultural and Rural Residential Future Land Use per 2040 Comp Plan Medium Density Residential Utility Staging Area Stage 1B (2025-2030) Rezoning The site is currently zoned R, Rural. The R, Rural zoning is a holding district until municipal water and sanitary sewer are available to the site and the property owner is interested in having the property developed. The developer is proposing R2, Two Family Residential for the 60ft wide single family lots and PUD, Planned Unit Development for the townhomes. PUD flexibility requested: 1. Public street cul de sac length: 555ft > 500ft allowed 2. Private street length: 666ft > 300ft allowed 3. Private street width: 24ft < 26ft required 4. Corner lot setback: 20ft < 25ft required 5. Townhome base lot size: 7,800ft < 20,000sf required 6. Townhome garage size: 440sf < 520sf required a. Staff notes that building plans are not required during concept plan. The townhome garage footprint was measured off the concept plan. Staff believes the proposed single family and townhome development can be achieved using straight zoning. Staff recommends R2, Two Family zoning for the single family lots and R3, Medium Density zoning for the townhomes. 0 Staff Comment: 1. Does the Board feel there is public benefit to justify PUD zoning as required per City Code Section 1007.024: (2) The PUD, by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this chapter related to setbacks, heights, lot area, width and depths, yards, etc., may be considered by the city when it would result in one or more of the following public benefits: (a) Implementation of a master plan consistent with the Planning District objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff Comment: A master plan is not required for this area. (b) Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of economic expansion, greater variety in lot size, configuration, home type, design, enhanced architectural standards, and siting of structures through the conservation and more efficient use of land in such developments. (c) Preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as wildlife habitat, unique natural resources, existing vegetation, natural topography, geologic features and reduction of negative impacts on the environment. (d) Creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other. (e) Efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering development costs and public investments. (f) Mix of land use types. (g) Provision of a housing type or target housing price that is desirable to the city. (h) Other public benefits and values as recognized in the city's Comprehensive Plan. Lot and Setback Requirements Per City Code Section 1007.112(1), land that is guided medium density residential may be zoned R-2. The following table analyzes the R-2 requirements for the 60ft wide single family lots. 60ft Single Family Lots R-2 Proposed Requirements Concept Plan Min. Lot Size 7,500 sf 7,500—14,000 sf Min.

Building Design Standards and Other Performance Standards Building and architectural design standard review is not required at concept plan level. City Code Section 1007.043 details minimum residential building design standard requirements. City Code Section 1007.112(4) details minimum R-2 building requirements. City Code Section 1007.113(4) details minimum R-3 building requirements. Staff Comment: 1. All building design standards and requirements shall be met. Subdivision Ordinance Blocks and Lots The concept plan proposes 90 residential lots and three (3) outlots. Outlots will contain wetlands, buffers, stormwater ponds etc. Common lots around the townhomes will also be outlots. Streets and Alleys CSAH 54 (20th Ave S) is an A -Minor Arterial Reliever road. Street A onto 20th Ave S. will be right in/right out only. Internal streets have 60ft wide road right-of-way and are 30ft wide. Private streets are proposed for the townhomes. An emergency access lane onto 20th Avenue S is proposed on the south end for the townhomes. Staff Comments: 1. Sixty (60) feet of road right-of-way shall be dedicated along CSAH 54 from the section line. 7 2. Sidewalk shall be installed along Street A and Street B. 3. Private streets shall meet requirements of City Code Section 1007.054 if PUD flexibility is not provided. 4. Private Drive C shall provide access to the lot to 6795 20t" Avenue S for future development. 5. A traffic study shall be required. 6. A noise study shall be required. Easements Staff Comments: 1. Standard drainage and utility easements at least 10 feet wide shall be provided along all lot lines. 2. Drainage and utility easements shall also be dedicated over stormwater management facilities. 3. Conservation easements and wetland buffers shall be required over wetlands, ditches, and greenway corridors. Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control The concept plan shows two (2) stormwater ponds throughout the development. Public Utilities Public water, sanitary, and storm sewer utilities will be installed within the development. The site is in Sanitary Sewer District 3 (Sub -district 3D). Flow from these areas, including that from Centerville, is collected along East Cedar Street and conveyed east to MCES Meter M220 and Gravity Interceptor 802325. The site is in Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025). Per the City Engineer memo, the City's water supply system well firm capacity is currently constrained by poor water quality in some wells, and annual variability in water use due to drought and other factors. Based on the water supply capacity and well trigger analysis completed in April 2024, the city may need additional well(s) to accommodate development within the City's existing 2040 Utility Staging Area. While the City's Comprehensive Plan identifies the need for additional wells to support continued growth, the White Bear Lake District Court orders and ongoing litigation, currently prevents the City from implementing that plan. The City is currently working through the well approval process with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR). This action does not contemplate capacity for E:3 areas outside the current Utility Staging area. Without additional well capacity proposed developments may be deemed premature. The developments will be evaluated on a case by case basis to determine actual demand and availability of capacity to serve the development. Any proposed development will need to demonstrate methods to reduce water use including but not limited to stormwater reuse for irrigation Staff Comments: 1. The water supply issue needs to be addressed prior to preliminary plat submittal. Yield Plan As required per City Code Section 1001.026(4) for a PUD, the applicant submitted the attached yield plan. A yield plan shows the maximum number of dwelling units that would be permitted given the minimum lot size and lot widths for conventional subdivisions and other requirements of the Lino Lakes Zoning and Subdivision Chapters. The yield plan proposes 121 townhome units at 5.98 units per net acre which would be consistent with density requirements. Phasing Plan Per the narrative, the developer plans to commence with development in the Fall 2025 that will align within the projected service date. The site is planned to be built within one (1) phase of grading and one (1) phase of street & utilities. Traffic Study A traffic study is required at the time of preliminary plat submittal. Staff Comments: 1. The applicant shall work with Anoka County Highway Department regarding access, emergency access, and turn lanes on CSAH 54 (20th Avenue S.). Parks, Greenways and Trail Plan Per Figure 10-2: Neighborhood Service Areas of the 2024 Comprehensive Plan, a future neighborhood park is programmed to the southwest of this site. Trails are not required per the park plan. The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication. Tree Preservation and Landscaping A Tree Preservation Plan and Landscape Plan in compliance with Section 1007.043(17), Required Screening, Landscaping and Buffer Yards shall be submitted with the preliminary plat application. Staff Comments: 1. A landscaping screen and minimum 20 ft wide buffer will be required along the 201n Avenue S. 2. A noise study will be required with the preliminary plat. 3. Berm and/or any noise mitigation requirements shall be measured from side or rear yard ground elevations to top of berm or fence. EQB Environmental Review An Environmental Assessment Worksheet is not mandated. The 38 unattached units and 52 attached units are under the threshold required for a mandatory EAW. Wetlands The site includes 2.2 acres of wetland. The wetlands are not within the Wetland Management Corridor. Ten (10) ft wide buffers are provided. It appears there will be some wetland impacts. An approved wetland delineation and mitigation plan will be required. The applicant will need to work with RCWD for Wetland Conservation Act regulations. Floodplain The 2015 FEMA Floodplain Map indicates Zone A flood plain on site. The concept plan shows a floodplain mitigation area in the southwest corner of the development. Staff Comments: 1. Any floodplain impacts are subject to City requirements per City Code Chapter 1103. 2. A Base Flood Elevation is required to be determined, using detailed methods acceptable by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). 3. A FEMA CLOMR and LOMR may be required for development if there are floodplain impacts. Additional City and Government Agency Review Comments Anoka County Anoka County Highway Department comments are in the attached email. School District 10 Centennial ISD#12 did not provide comments. Lino Lakes Public Safety Police Division reviewed the concept plan and had no concerns. Fire Division reviewed the concept plan and had no concerns. City Engineer City Engineer comments are in the attached memo. Environmental Board Environmental Board comments are in the attached memo. Park Board During the May 7, 2025 meeting, the Park Board recommended 100% cash dedication in lieu of land. Several existing Nadeau Acres residents addressed the Park Board requesting consideration for a neighborhood park in the Nelson Rehbein development. As discussed with the development of Nadeau Acres, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan does not show the Nelson Rehbein property as having a park or part of the greenway system. Rather, future Neighborhood Park E is planned to the west. Planning & Zoning Board The Board reviewed the concept plan on May 14, 2025. Discussion items included: • No PUD, proceed with straight zoning. • Include sidewalks along streets. • Access spacing, right in/right out and emergency access along 20t" Avenue. • Neighborhood meeting suggested. Preliminary Plat The City's review and comments on the concept plan's relation to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and development regulations does not grant any rights to the applicant to develop the property as depicted by the concept plan. A land use application for preliminary plat is required. The city strongly recommends the property owner/applicant hold a neighborhood meeting for informal comment and feedback prior to preliminary plat application. 11 RECOMMENDATION Staff is requesting feedback from the City Council: 1. Thoughts on requested PUD or just straight R2 and R3 zoning. 2. If PUD, then should a neighborhood meeting be required? 3. Should future access and ghost plat be provided to 6737 20t" Avenue? a. The lot is guided low density residential and appears to have wetlands on site that would limit future development. 4. Other input. Additional Staff Comments: 1. The wetland and floodplain acreages on the Concept plan and Net Area Exhibit do not match. 2. Side corner setbacks shall be 25ft. 3. A ghost plat for 6795 20t" Avenue shall be provided if a preliminary plat is submitted. ATTACHMENTS 1. Applicant Narrative 2. Concept Plan 3. Net Area Exhibit 4. Resource Inventory 5. Yield Plan 6.

Anoka county, Minnesota Address: 6747 20th Avenue (Nelson parcel), Lino Lakes, MN 55038 / Unassigned (Rehbein parcels) City/County: City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County Parcel ID Numbers: 26-31-22-11-0008 (Nelson); 26-32-22-11-0005 (Rehbein); 26-31-22-11-0009 (Rehbein) Total Site Area: Approximately (24.55) acres Existing R - Rural Proposed Rezoning_ R2 Two Family Residential /Planned Unit Development (PUD) EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is comprised of three (3) land parcels, one (1) single family home on the southern portion (Nelson's parcel), a wooded Swale that runs through the middle of the site that is shown as wetlands within the exhibits, along with the rest of the site as agricultural fields. The land parcel currently owned by the Nelson family, was acquired by Jim Nelson in 1987. Shortly thereafter, he began construction on his home. The property had historically been vacant agriculture land prior to Jim purchasing the property. Jim then constructed a pole barn in 1995 and is currently residing at the property. The two (2) Rehbein land parcels were purchased by the Rehbein family in 2008. No structures or dwellings were ever constructed on the property by the Rehbein family, and both land parcels have been utilized for agriculture purposes, specifically raising hay. Per discussions with both property owners, they confirmed there are no historically important landscapes or archeological features to note. The site is bounded to the east by 201h Avenue S (County Road 54), to the south by the Nadeau Acres development, to the west by existing farm fields and floodplain, and to the north by an existing industrial building, large wetland and floodplain. The northern and western boundaries of the site are the city limits between the City of Lino Lakes and the City of Centerville. The current zoning for the three (3) land parcels is R — Rural. PROPOSED CONDITIONS & CONCEPT PLAN SUMMARY The 2040 Future Land Use Map displays this area as medium density residential that allows for 4.0 to 6.0 units per acre. We are proposing R2 — Two Family Residential for the 60' single-family lots, and a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the multi -unit townhomes and private streets to meet the allowed density requirement. Per the net area exhibit, we calculate a net density of 4.26 units per net acre, or 3.67 units per gross acre. With standard R2 zoning for the multi -unit townhomes, the density falls to 2.5 units per net acre and will not meet the allowed density requirement. The Nelson Rehbein Concept Plan displays a total of (90) residential lots that consist of the following: • (38) 60' Single -Family • (52) Attached Townhome Below is a summary of the proposed lot standards and setbacks: Townhome Unit Configuration (4) Unit, (5) Unit & (6) Unit Buildings Townhome Setbacks Front — 25 feet Side - Between Townhome Buildings — 20 feet Side Corner — 20 feet Single Family Setbacks: Front — 25 feet Rear — 25 feet Side Yard — 10 ft Garage, 10 ft Dwelling Side Corner — 20/25 feet We believe the proposed development plan is consistent with the City of Lino Lake's goals for these parcels. SANITARY SEWER AND WATERMAIN: The proposed development will connect to existing, public sanitary sewer from the Nadeau Acres development to the south. This sanitary stub is directed to an existing lift station that was designed and constructed to accommodate the Nelson Rehbein development. Public watermain connections will be made at the existing connection to Nadeau Acres, as well as along 20th Avenue S. to provide a watermain loop. PROPOSED STREET DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION There will be public street connections to Nadeau Acres through the provided street stub and to 201h Avenue S (County Highway 54) that will include the necessary turn lane improvements as required by Anoka County. Interior private drives (Drives A, B & C as noted on the Concept Plan) will be constructed to serve a large majority of the proposed multi -unit townhomes. The annual average daily traffic (AADT) on 201h Avenue was determined to be 5,808 trips per day per the 2022 MNDOT Traffic Mapping Study. With the proposed Nelson / Rehbein development, the additional ninety (90) lots at ten (10) trips per day will increase the annual average daily traffic by approximately 900 trips per day. Below is a summary of the proposed roadway widths and linear footage: Linear Footage: Total Road Linear Length — Approximately 3,105 L.F • Public Streets — Approximately 2,005 L.F • Private Drives —Approximately 1,100 L.F Proposed Right -of -Way (ROW): Internal ROW — 60' feet Private Road — 24' feet back-to-back Cul-de-sac ROW — 60'-foot min. radius STORMWATR MANAGEMENT: Most of the surface water from this proposed development will flow through new storm sewer infrastructure to sedimentation ponds. All ponding and water quality features will be designed per current city and watershed regulations. Stormwater will be designed to minimize site runoff rates to the extent feasible. The City of Lino Lakes will assume ownership of the stormwater quality pond, and structures within those ponds/basins at full buildout. WETLAND DELINATION: A wetland report was completed by Kjolhaug Environmental Services on October 19, 2021, for the two (2) Rehbein parcels. Kjolhaug is currently updating the Wetland Delineation Report to include the Nelson parcel. The design of the Nelson Rehbein development revolves around wetland preservation for future homeowners to enjoy the natural wildlife habitat and features of these wetlands. While the applicant is proposing to preserve significant wetlands, they are also proposing to impact some of the existing wetlands. The final impacts will be determined by Kjolhaug this spring to submit for consideration, feedback and approval by the necessary governing bodies. PARKS: Park land dedication for a future park is not proposed. Park dedication requirements shall be paid as a fee. MONUMENT & MAILBOXES: The develop will have an entrance monument that will be maintained by the Homeowner Association. The location and design are pending. Cluster mailboxes will be provided for all (90) lots. TIMING/PHASING/STAGING Per Lino Lakes 2040 utility staging plan, this area is planned to have utilities between 2018-2025. We plan to commence with development in the Fall 2025 that will align within the projected service date. The site is planned to be built within one (1) phase of grading and one (1) phase of street & utilities. HOUSING: The Nelson Rehbein development will have a total of (90) homes. The zoning from the R-2 and Planned Unit Development will allow the homes to be divided into two (2) different housing types and styles that will satisfy different segments of homebuyers. Selection of builders for the two (2) proposed product types is currently pending. HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATIONS & ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES Homeowner Associations will be established to maintain the common open spaces, neighborhood monument, mailboxes etc. The townhome units will provide exterior maintenance for the units and grounds along with maintaining the private streets. The Homeowner Associations will be responsible for enforcement of the rules, regulations, and architectural guidelines of the neighborhood, this will provide for a neighborhood that is cohesive and well maintained. CONCLUSION Twin Cities Land Holding, LLC is proud to present this proposal and feel that the proposed concept plan meets the goals of Lino Lakes. We look forward to working with the City of Lino Lakes to create a successful new residential development. We respectfully seek approval of the Concept Plan to allow the Nelson Rehbein development to proceed with the preliminary plat and rezoning submissions. Attachment 2.

Our comments were made on the following documents: o Nelson-Rehbein Parcels - Concept Plan Submittal prepared by Carlson Engineering, U dated March 21, 2025. Z w co The following review comments should be responded to in writing by the applicant. — Engineering 0 a °° General co N Nelson-Rehbein development includes approximately 25 acres west of 20t" Avenue (CSAH 54), between Red Oak Lane and West Cedar Street. The current conceptual project proposes 38 single family lots and 52 Townhome lots (90 lots total) and associated U) infrastructure. z Grading J a The Nelson-Rehbein development includes site grading for the 90 lots/units as well as extensions of Heritage Avenue, and one other local public street with three private streets Z that are yet to be named. a U) C N Stormwater Management w U) The combined properties, 24.55 acres, primarily surface flow north through an onsite wooded swale or by direct runoff to the west. Runoff drains to a pond/wetland complex to w the north, continuing to flow north via Judicial Ditch 3 into Peltier Lake. There are some Ui additional flows coming from the south via the wooded swale. co The concept plan shows stormwater management features in limited detail. The applicant w will be required to meet City of Lino Lakes' stormwater rules in addition to Rice Creek co Watershed District requirements. Ms. Katie Larsen 05/07/2025 Page 2 Stormwater reuse will be required for all development irrigation • Water Supply The City's water supply system well firm capacity is currently constrained by poor water quality in some wells, and annual variability in water use due to drought and other factors. Based on the water supply capacity and well trigger analysis completed in April 2024, the city may need additional well(s) to accommodate development within the City's existing 2040 Utility Staging Area. While the City's Comprehensive Plan identifies the need for additional wells to support continued growth, the White Bear Lake District Court orders and ongoing litigation, currently prevents the City from implementing that plan. The City is currently working through the well approval process with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR). This action does not contemplate capacity for areas outside the current Utility Staging area. Without additional well capacity proposed developments may be deemed premature. The developments will be evaluated on a case by case basis to determine actual demand and availability of capacity to serve the development. Any proposed development will need to demonstrate methods reduce water use including but not limited to stormwater reuse for irrigation. Applicant to verify water pressure is adequate for all locations within the development. All proposed units are required to be on the municipal water supply. Water infrastructure for the Nelson-Rehbein development has not yet been designed and will need to be submitted for preliminary plat by the applicant. There is an existing 16-inch diameter trunk watermain along 20th Avenue (CSAH 54) that will be looped through the site to an existing 8" diameter watermain within Heritage Avenue. Otherwise, the development will include a water system with predominately 8- inch diameter ductile iron pipe (DIP) water main with 1-inch Type K copper services being extended to each lot. Water supply will need to be evaluated in conjunction with current pending DNR water appropriation approvals. Additional water stubs may need to be extended to the north or west for future development. The development is in the City's Drinking Water Study Management Area and has moderate vulnerability and would be subject to those requirements. • Sanitary Sewer Sanitary sewer collection for the Nelson-Rehbein development has not yet been proposed and will need to be submitted for preliminary plat by the applicant. It is anticipated that the existing 8-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sanitary sewer within Heritage Avenue will be extended north to serve the site. The site will be served along with 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC service pipe to each lot. Additional sanitary sewer stubs will be extended to the south. Nelson-Rehbein Parcels Concept Plan Submittal - Engineering Review Ms. Katie Larsen 05/07/2025 Page 3 • Transportation A general street layout has been proposed with the Concept Plan. The City of Lino Lakes' Comprehensive Plan requires neighborhood street connections. The Nelson-Rehbein property is adjacent to 20th Avenue (CSAH 54) which is A -Minor Arterial Reliever, Heritage Avenue and an unnamed street are local roads with three private roads. The applicant is showing connections with the right of way to Heritage Avenue in the south portion of the development and 20th Avenue (CSAH 54) in the east portion. A traffic study will be required for the site. Trails and sidewalks Additional trails and sidewalks will be required along the interior and connector roads as directed by the City Planner. Comments 1. The traffic study shall include the intersections of Street A and 20th Avenue, 21 st Avenue and Cedar Street, Birch Street and 20th Avenue and 20th Avenue at the proposed site intersection. The analysis should address the intersection geometrics (i.e. turn lanes) and traffic control needed to accommodate the proposed site development. 2. The traffic study shall meet the requirements outlined in City ordinances. The ten- year forecast review should be 2040 3. The applicant will need to receive approval from Anoka County for the site access to Street A. It is anticipated that they will require right -in and right -out access with a median at the intersection as well as a southbound right turn lane. 4. The applicant will need to receive approval from Anoka County for emergency access from private Driveway A onto CSAH 54. • Wetlands and Environment The site includes 2.84 acres of wetland and buffer. An approved wetland delineation will be required. The applicant will need to work with RCWD for Wetland Conservation Act regulations. The project indicates that there are approximately 2.2 acres of wetland. A wetland replacement plan based on the impacts will need to be submitted, reviewed, and approved through RCWD and the City. The applicant should verify with the DNR's Natural Heritage Information System database for the potential presence of protected species within and near the project area, including protected plant species. The applicant should coordinate with the DNR on the need for additional studies or surveys as necessary. • Landscaping A Landscape Plan for the Nelson-Rehbein development has not yet been submitted. One will need to be submitted and reviewed by staff and the City's Environmental Coordinator. The Environmental Coordinator will provide separate comments. Nelson-Rehbein Parcels Concept Plan Submittal - Engineering Review Ms. Katie Larsen 05/07/2025 Page 4 Floodplain The site includes -5% Zone A Floodplain. A Base Flood Elevation will need to be determined and approved by FEMA. A LOMR will be required, and floodplain mitigation will be required as applicable. This mitigation already appears to be considered in Outlot C in the southwest corner of the site.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 7 STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director WORK SESSION DATE: June 2, 2025 TOPIC: Water & Sewer JPA with White Bear Township/City of North Oaks BACKGROUND As previously discussed, the Wilkinson Waters development, located in the northwest quadrant of Centerville Road and County Road J is proposed to be served by White Bear Township utilities. Staff has been working with both the Township and the City of North Oaks on a joint powers agreement (JPA) to secure access to these utilities. The project is in Lino Lakes Sanitary Sewer District 4, which is planned to serve the Southeast Quadrant of the City, generally east of Holly Drive and South of Holly Drive East & Birch Street. The area will be served by an 18" trunk sanitary line that runs along Centerville Road in White Bear Township. The City's Comprehensive Plan identifies the need to enter into a JPA with White Bear Township to acquire capacity from this line. Water is proposed to be temporarily provided by White Bear Township through water mains installed in the City of North Oaks. The Wilkinson Waters project has water main stubbed to the property along with lateral water mains running through the property serving the Rapp Farm development on the west side of Wilkenson Lake. White Bear Township currently has agreements in place with North Oaks Development Company for water supply. Staff is anticipating a minimum service timeline of 10 years. Ultimately the property is planned to be serviced by Lino Lakes utilities once extended. A draft agreement has been prepared based on existing agreements between North Oaks and White Bear Township. Staff is working through the agreement components to address sanitary sewer flow, billing responsibilities, rates and metering locations. Wate rates for the project may be different than rates charged for the balance of the City. White Bear Township charges North Oaks a base rate equal to 125% of their tier 1 residential water rates. This would result in a base water rate of $3.25 per thousand gallons. For comparison Lino Lakes current tier 1 rate is $2.19 per thousand. We are anticipating a similar fee as part of our JPA.

In the event the City requests project enhancements, we engage with the project team to clarify the nature of the requested changes. We provide expert guidance on the most cost-effective methods to implement these adjustments, ensuring that the work aligns with the overall project goals and budget considerations. Our systematic and solutions -oriented approach not only minimizes unnecessary changes but also fosters clear communication among all stakeholders, promoting smooth project progression and alignment with the client's vision. By taking ownership of the change order process, RJM ensures that any necessary modifications are handled professionally, efficiently, and with the client's best interests in mind. PROCESS FOR MANAGING FINAL STARTUP, TESTING, AND OCCUPANCY RJM follows a structured and meticulous approach to manage the coordination of final startup, testing, and occupancy. At substantial completion, following comprehensive operations and maintenance training conducted with the design team, contractors, and suppliers, operational responsibility for the facility is transferred to the client. Throughout this transition, RJM ensures that all punch -list items are completed efficiently, warranty information is assembled, and contractual contractor closeout documents are promptly collected. Before conducting the official punch list with the project team, RJM performs a pre -punch list internally to identify, record, and address any outstanding items. This proactive measure ensures a streamlined process during the final stages. Additionally, RJM and the client's project team conduct a post -occupancy inspection approximately 11 months after completion to address any long-term concerns. The commissioning process, supported by RJM's internal MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) Director, concludes with the preparation of a comprehensive final commissioning report. This report includes issue logs, open items, and final testing results. Any commissioning activities delayed due to climatic conditions or equipment availability are addressed in the post -occupancy phase. The MEP Director's involvement facilitates seamless coordination with trade partners and ensures that all systems are functioning optimally by final completion. Throughout the process, thorough training for facility staff is a priority. Formal training sessions empower operations and maintenance personnel to understand and manage all equipment and systems effectively, ensuring the facility operates in alignment with its design capabilities. Both building operational staff and end users receive specialized training tailored to the installed equipment and systems. To prepare for final occupancy, RJM reviews a detailed final occupancy checklist with the client several months in advance. This checklist verifies that inspections and training have been completed, tempo condition a - rt_ed to --- permanent installations, required documentat' is inCal n vices have been transferred to the client's name. This c rehensive p I o smooth transition, providing the clieniwith ly oper 'onal and functio t ready to meet their needs. no L�es'RFP - Public Works Bu-i�k \ 21 Construction Management Approach ESTIMATING TECHNIQUES At the core of RJM's preconstruction team are six full-time estimators. This team ensures estimates are accurate and completed on time without the daily distractions of project management. Our team has an extensive database, comprehensive procedures, and the experience to produce accurate and timely estimates. RJM's estimating team utilizes various technological resources to develop a cost model. Materials are quantified with precision in eTakeoff/Dimension and paired with our unit cost database, which is maintained via Sage Estimating. We also rely on virtual building models (BIM) to ensure estimating accuracy. RJM's cost estimating process is entirely open book. We provide detailed information supporting our numbers in an open forum with the project team. An estimate summary will highlight the major categories of work and associated costs. In addition, RJM provides a detailed estimate, showing all cost categories by the specification section. These resources will allow the team to make educated decisions. As the design progresses, we provide continuous, real-time cost evaluation so that we immediately realize the cost impact to design choices. Being proactive in this process saves critical time and cost, helping Oertel understand budget impacts before designs are complete. RJM'S DESIGN PROCESS KEY STEPS: Construction Management Approach The RJM Difference Our team provides a final estimate at 95% completion of the design. This is different from other construction managers. The intent of this final estimate is to confirm the 95% drawings and specifications align with the budget and that we have 100% subcontractor support to prove it. This final confirmation allows us to accurately track the expected final bid amounts when received. Allowing one last opportunity to make slight adjustments to the plans prior to bidding assures the project will be delivered on budget. BIDDING PROCESS RJM will facilitate bid receipts and conduct the public opening process. Before issuing documents for bid, RJM will work with the City of Lino Lakes staff and the Oertel design team to create comprehensive packages for each scope of work. The bid packages identify any potential gray areas and ensure complete bids are received and all contractors are bidding the same project. Specific and unique details are highlighted, and all specific job requirements are outlined for the trades. Our process has proven to: - Increase the number of bids received - Create a competitive environment - Reduce the submission of incomplete bids and legal expenses incurred - Reduce the number of change orders received RJM thoroughly reviews each bid for completeness, clarifes any potential discrepancies, and conducts a scope review with all apparent low -bid contractors. The team is presented with recommendations and a comprehensive project budget. After the contractor awards are approved, RJM prepares and processes the appropriate contracts. All contracts over $175,000 are required to provide a performance and payment bond. Quotes received under that amount only come from a select list of reputable, qualified, cost -competitive contractors. BEST VALUE - VALUE ADD OPTION In 2007, the Minnesota Legislature enacted a law that enables public agencies to select contractors based on best value instead of solely low bid. Best -value contracting is a procurement process encompassing sever I factozlv�_u besides rice whilq w rding___ and executing construction contracts. Best v u Ment consider rs such as qualifications, schedule, quality, and m ce- ri\ e _ and select the most suitable contractor. - Public Works Construction Management Approach This method is beneficial when a project has unique objectives or challenges that may be difficult to meet through traditional low -bid procurement. RJM recommends that our clients consider best value for specific trades for such projects. This system is advantageous as it requires less decision -making, prepares for the future, and minimizes risk. Even if risks occur, they can be effectively controlled or managed. RJM has Best Value Certified staff who can discuss the benefits of this approach with city staff. RJM is currently utilizing this approach with the City of Maple Grove on their Community Center expansion and have had great success thus far. With the contract requirements for HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and electrical to be design -build, the best value procurement method is RJM's recommended approach for these four categories. SOURCEWELL PROCUREMENT - VALUE ADD OPTION Another flexible option for the City is direct purchasing items through state contract and the Sourcewell program. RJM is an approved Sourcewell contractor and can assist the City with any direct purchase items, such as scoreboards and other furnishings. Benefits of Sourcewell direct procurement are fixed unit cost (cost savings to City) and schedule reduction (expedited contracting process). PRICE PER S.F. FROM RECENT/COMPARABLE PROJECTS.

Construction disruption avoidance strategies aim to mitigate the impact of demolition activities on the surrounding community and public pathways. RJM understands the existing Public Works facility is being removed. RJM's first step in this process will be to gain an understanding and provide input for Public Works operations during construction. We have recent examples with the City of Chaska and relocation of their entire fire station during construction of their new facility. We also have recent experience of maintaining partial operations and removing the existing building in segments to make way for their new facility with the City of Plymouth Fire Department. One key aspect of construction disruptio coordination with local authorities and sta RJM will develop a detailed plan with the, minimize disruptions. This plan may include n activities during off-peak hours to r'edj4i_-:6` voidance is c tiers. re ty outlines and' duress as scheduling 7Buip )i and inco nience tC�Lino L es P - Public Work Construction Management Approach providing advance notice to nearby residents and businesses about the construction schedule, and establishing clear signage and barriers to redirect pedestrian traffic away from the demolition site and ensure their safety. RJM will hold regularly scheduled disruption avoidance coordination meetings to review any upcoming changes that will impact the facility. The City can then utilize this documentation to communicate with staff and the public proactively. Additionally, efforts should be made to minimize dust, debris, and other potential hazards generated during site grading/demolition. This may involve implementing dust control measures such as spraying water on the site to reduce airborne dust, using barriers or screens to contain debris, and regularly cleaning up debris to prevent it from spilling onto public pathways. Furthermore, proactive communication with the community is essential to address any concerns or issues that may arise during the construction process. This may involve setting up a dedicated hotline or email address for residents to report any disruptions or safety concerns, as well as holding regular meetings or open houses to update the community on the progress of the demolition and address any questions or feedback they may have. MAINTAINING PROJECT BUDGET STRATEGIC BUDGETING AND SCHEDULING WITH RISK MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE On all projects listed, RJM collaborated with project stakeholders from the outset to establish a comprehensive budget and create a schedule tailored to planned city operations and the availability of construction materials. This early engagement enables a seamless alignment of project goals while addressing logistical complexities to ensure efficient progress. RJM employs a proven process that incorporates interim checkpoints at each risk reduction milestone. These checkpoints provide an opportunity to thoroughly assess the project's alignment with the established schedule and budget, fostering transparency and proactive management throughout the project lifecycle. In the event of potential delays or unforeseen issues, these milestones play a critical role in identifying challenges early and enabling the development of recovery plans. These plans are designed to mitigate impacts, maintain project continuity, and uphold key project parameters without exceeding predefined limits. This structured approach reflects RJM's commitment to delivering projects that prioritize precision, adaptability, and the needs of our stakeholders, ensuring successful outcomes in even the most dynamic environments. ENHANCING PROJECT SUCCESS WITH S R TEGIC OPTI THE CITY COUNCIL l The most successful projects are those wr with a comprehensive range of options at the design phase, where the Oertel'-(ea Construction Management Approach elements, challenging the project budget while prioritizing functionality and vision. With the expertise of an experienced public works construction team, the project can be delivered within budget by presenting strategic options to the stakeholder team. These options may include clear timelines for accepting alternates, incorporating specific allowances within the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), or staging areas of completion (e.g., shell, finish, complete). For example, after the design is finalized, alternate material selections or scope revisions can be considered on bid day when bids have been reviewed. If the bids are favorable to the overall budget, items such as long-term enhancements can be incorporated back into the project. Conversely, if bids exceed the budget, non -critical elements can be eliminated. This approach provides the City Council with the flexibility to adapt to market conditions while maintaining project goals —a crucial strategy in today's dynamic economic environment. MITIGATING RISK WITH EARLY PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES RJM is committed to safeguarding the City Council's interests by minimizing risk throughout the construction process. As part of our proactive planning, we develop strategies to procure long -lead materials prior to final bidding. For example, items such as structural steel or precast wall panels can be secured early through a limited financial commitment covering engineering and shop drawings. This approach ensures production slots are reserved without requiring the City to purchase the materials upfront. By implementing early procurement, the project benefits in two significant ways: it reduces the risk of delays caused by material availability and mitigates the impact of inflation on critical resources. These measures allow the project to progress efficiently while maintaining cost control, ensuring timely delivery and alignment with the City's overarching objectives. VALUE ENGINEERING Value engineering is an essential process during design. We prioritize value engineering to enhance project efficiency without compromising quality. By scrutinizing construction plans and methodologies, we identify opportunities for cost savings and performance improvements while maintaining project integrity. RJM's job is to provide the team with cost -saving ideas available for the team's review and subsequent implementation. Drawing from similar project experience, our team understands how to reduce costs without sacrificingthe building's function or design intent. RJM believes that the most effective way to increase value is to look for it at every design stage. RJM reviews multiple systems related to foundations, structures, enclosures, roofs, and mechanical and electrical to ensure the most effective installation and the utilization of materials that will last. Historically, our value engineering process has saved 9-13% in value between schematic design and construction documents. t o ino L es P - Public Works Bui 26 Construction Management Approach CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEWS RJM leverages its extensive experience, collaborative approach, and commitment to excellence to provide exceptional constructability reviews. We are dedicated to contributing to the success of our clients' construction projects by identifying opportunities for improvement, mitigating risks, and optimizing the overall construction process. RJM's constructability reviews are continuous during design. We emphasize early -stage intervention to identify potential challenges and opportunities during the design phase. This proactive approach ensures that potential issues are addressed before they escalate, resulting in cost savings and streamlined project timelines. RJM's Director of Quality Control also closely reviews design documents at each phase. After this careful review process, RJM may suggest minor design modifications to Oertel. As an added element of quality risk management, RJM recommends a third -party plan/details review for all critical building components, such as waterproofing, roofing, and building envelope systems. SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT As an early adopter of lean construction principles, RJM incorporates details gained through recent market experience, constructability reviews, subcontractor -provided information regarding critical timelines and material lead times, and critical path milestones to establish a preliminary construction schedule. RJM then conducts pull -planning sessions with the complete subcontractor base to ensure these resources align with the project expectations. These sessions allow us to validate sequencing, evaluate potential efficiency gains, and establish commitments to activity durations and crew sizes to produce a master schedule to meet or improve our initial schedule goals. Once construction begins, we can offer productivity assessments and variance reports to monitor workforce needs, ultimately protecting the project schedule. RJM supports the entire project team by establishing a comprehensive schedule considering all critical milestones - beginning with project development and culminating with an 11-month warranty walk-through. This commitment to all project stakeholders ensures realistic expectations within efficient work sequences. RJM's assigned project manager will review all contracts for scheduling needs and critical timelines. They will identify long lead-time items and critical path milestones, ensure all are in alignment, and then prepare and issue master schedules. Once construction begins, they will offer analysis and variance reports. At RJM, we incorporate efficient, lean construction principles into the project approach to gain efficiencies and monitor workforce needs, ultimately protecting the project schedule.

We are committed to safeguarding the health and well-being of everyone involved by adhering to the highest safety standards and protocols. Our superintendents diligently oversee daily operations to verify strict compliance with safety procedures among all contractors, ensuring the maintenance of an impeccable safety record free from violations. This unwavering focus on safety is integral to our company culture and operations. For this project, RJM will implement a secured site program designed to restrict employee access from active construction areas and protect individuals unfamiliar with construction hazards from potential risks. Within the construction site, RJM enforces comprehensive OSHA requirements, including personal protective equipment (PPE), Lock-out/Tag-out procedures, and temporary fire and life -safety measures. RJM does not permit any work on live electrical systems, and all hot work — such as welding, brazing, or any activities involving flammable materials —must be coordinated with building management and covered by hot work permits prior to commencement. Safety assessments are a continuous process throughout construction. The RJM superintendent performs daily site evaluations to identify and address potential risks, while the project manager conducts weekly assessments to ensure consistency and compliance. This dual -layered approach underscores RJM's commitment to maintaining the highest level of safety and security for all personnel on -site. By proactively addressing safety concerns, implementing stringent protocols, and fostering a culture of accountability, RJM Construction delivers projects that prioritize safety at every step, ensuring peace of mind for our clients and all stakeholders. CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 9 STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director WORK SESSION DATE: June 2, 2025 TOPIC: Vadnais Lakes Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) JPA Amendments/Update BACKGROUND The Vadnais Lakes Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO), which covers a portion of southeastern Lino Lakes is working to update its Joint Powers Agreement in conjunction with its work to develop the 2027 — 2036 Watershed Plan. VLAWMO is a water management organization that is responsible for an approximately 24.2 square mile watershed that encompasses the City of North Oaks, and portions of the Cities of White Bear Lake, Gem Lake, Vadnais Heights, Lino Lakes, and White Bear Township. VLAWMO operates under a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the communities. The current agreement will expire next year and VLAWMO staff and attorney have undertaken a review to update the document and better align it with operations. City staff and City attorney, Jay Squires, have completed an initial review of the proposal and provided a few comments back to VLAWMO staff. These include the following for consideration: • Section 3.14: The City recommends that capital improvement projects continue to require a super majority (2/3) vote of all Directors. • Section 6.3 Member Assessments: Please clarify the timing for adoption of proposed member assessments. The City begins its annual budget process in late May and adopts the preliminary level in September. The City will need time to incorporate into its budget if proposed. • Section 7.1 Duration of Agreement: The City recommends staying with the current 10- year duration. With the modernization of the agreement future update efforts should be minor. A review and discussion every 10 years would ensure that the document stays up to date and current with changing staff/councils. • 6.1(e) SSU Charge Certification: Should the reference to County Auditor reference the respective County Auditor since we have both Anoka and Ramsey Counties involved in this process? The VLAWMO board will be reviewing an updated draft in the coming months for consideration. REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION None required. Update only. ATTACHMENTS 1. VLAWMO Attorney Overview of Changes 2. Redline of draft agreement. TOWN LAW CENTER J P1.LPA Local Government Law Firm Troy Gilchrist and Jason Hill, Attorneys at Law MEMORANDUM To: VLAWMO Board of Directors From: Troy Gilchrist, VLAWMO Attorney Date: April 14, 2025 Troy Gilchrist, Attorney (612) 234-7539 troy@townlowcenter.com Re: Overview of Changes in the Updated Joint Powers Agreement VLAWMO was originally established by a joint powers agreement ("JPA") adopted by the member communities ("Members") pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 10313.211 of the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act (Minn. Stat. §§ 103B.201-103B.253). The Members last updated and readopted the JPA in 2016. I assisted with that update and my recollection was that the Board pursued relatively few updates at the time. The current JPA is set to expire on December 31, 2026, and once again the agreement needs to be updated and readopted. The enclosed draft of the JPA reflects a more comprehensive update of the language to more closely align the text with how VLAWMO actually operates. Importantly, this draft more specifically addresses budgeting, funding, and projects in light of the storm sewer utility authority. An effort was also made to streamline the language as much as possible. The following highlights the more substantive changes in the draft JPA: 1. Added recitals to provide context for the agreement (recitals — p. 1). 2. The definitions were expanded to include the storm sewer utility, capital improvement, and other terms (Sec. 2, p. 3-4). 3. The specific years each group of Board members are to serve was removed (Sec. III, p. 4). 4. It was made clear the secretary -treasurer can delegate duties of the position as currently occurs (Sec. 3.11(c), p. 5). 5. The voting requirements were revised to require a majority vote instead of a 2/3 vote to approve capital improvement projects (Sec. 3.14, p. 6). 6. The storm water utility and the authorizing special legislation is called out and is recognized as the primary funding source for the organization (Sec. 4.6, p. 7). 7. The process for capital improvements was more specifically spelled out (Sec. 4.7, p. 7). 1250 Wayzata Blvd E, Unit #1065, Wayzata, MN 55391 8. Expanded the language on the Technical Commission to further detail its role and authority (Sec. V, p. 10-11). 9. The budgeting and funding processes were updated to reflect the current process and to make clear Member assessments are no longer used to fund VLAWMO's operations. Member assessments, which is the primary source of funding the operations of most WMOs, is still in the agreement as a possibility if it ever needs to be relied on to help fund VLAWMO's operation (Sec. 6.2 & 6.3, p. 12-13). 10. Revised the capital improvement language to reflect how projects are currently funded (Sec. 6.4, p. 13). 11. The agreement proposes a 20 year term rather than the previous 10 year term to reduce the time and costs associated with having to readopt the JPA (Sec. 7.1, p. 14). The JPA can be amended at any time in the future if needed (Sec. 8.4, p. 15). 12. The appeal and arbitration process was replaced with a dispute resolution process that focuses on mediation as the primary method to seek resolution (Sec. 8.2, p. 15). 13. Various miscellaneous provisions were added to address basic statutory requirements (such as data practices and audit compliance) and other general agreement provisions (governing law, etc.) (Sec. VIII, p. 15-16). 14. The two amendments adopted in 2019 are incorporated into the agreement (insurance and liability, Sec. 4.15, p. 8-9 & revenue bond authority, Sec. 6.9, p. 14) I plan on attending the meeting at which the Board will discuss the proposed updated JPA and I will be happy to answer any questions the Board may have at that time. 2016 RA .h PFief Amendments INITIAL DRAFT 4-14-25 VADNAIS LAKE AREA WATER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT Formatted: Font: 12 pt TO PROTECT- AND MANAGE T-14E THIS JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT, ("Agreement") is made and entered intaas-ef • — — Formatted: Indent: First line: 0.5^ *'ge, IR4 44- F,..,,.euti .. by and between the participating units of local government of the Cities of Gem Lake, Lino Lakes, North Oaks, Vadnais Heights, and White Bear Lake and the Township of White Bear, hereafter- reF ,...oa to ^^ ""4-emibef ^^a _(individually asa `Xember' , Formatted: Font: Bold agree to " and collectively the ���'�"Members"). RECITALS A. The Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization ("VLAWMO") was organized in 1983 and is located in the northeast metro area within Ramsey and Anoka counties. B. VLAWMO is responsible for an approximately 24.2 square mile watershed that encompasses the City of North Oaks, along with portions of the Cities of White Bear Lake, Gem Lake, Vadnais Heights, Lino Lakes, and White Bear Township and includes 17 lakes, 1 creek, and over 1000 wetlands as shown on the map maintained by VLAWMO. C. Local government units in the metropolitan area are required by the Metropolitan Water Management Program (Minn. Stat. & 103B.201 to 103B.255) ("Act") to plan for and manage surface water. D. Under the Act, one of the options available to local government units to satisfy its requirements is to adopt a joint powers agreement pursuant to Minn. Stat. & 471.59 to establish a watershed management organization to jointly plan for and manage surface water within a watershed. E. The Members elected to exercise their authority under the Act to adopt a joint powers agreement establishing the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization ("VLAWMO") to cooperatively manage and plan for the management of surface water within the watershed. F. The original joint powers agreement has been updated over time and the term of the current joint powers agreement expires on December 31, 2026. G.
