FINANCE DEPARTMENT REPORT, AL ROLEK
PUBLIC HEARING, Resolution No. 01— 05 and No. 01-19 Proposed Utility Rates for 2001-
2003, John Powell — City Engineer Powell advised the City Charter states "The Council shall
endeavor to make each municipal utility financially self-sustaining". The City staff has prepared cost
and revenue projections for the next three (3) years and is prepared to recommend utility rates for
2001 through 2003.
COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 26, 2001
Sanitary Sewer
The City's sewer rates are based on a quarterly charge for REU. An REU is a residential equivalent
unit that represents the daily volume required by a typical residential connection. One house equals
one REU. Commercial, industrial, and institutional use is converted to REU's based on the volume
of flow they generate.
The major expenses related to sewer charges include the cost of operating the system, Metropolitan
Council charges, and depreciation. Depreciation relates to the cost of replacing the system after it has
reached the end of its useful life.
The rate computation has assumed a 220 -unit increase in the number of connections on an annual
basis. This includes connection by existing houses as well as new construction. However, if this
increase does not occur the costs should also be proportionally lower.
The current sewer rate is $51.00 per quarter per REU. The proposate increase is as follows:
Effective January 1, 2001:
Effective January 2, 2001:
Effective January 2, 2003:

The current water rate is $10.00 per quarter per REU and $1.63 per 1,000 gallons. The proposed
water rate increase is as follows:
Effective January 2, 2001, through December 31, 2003:
Water Usage Rates:
$1.77 per 1,000 gallons 0 to 30,000 gallons
$2.07 per 1,000 gallons all water use above 30,000 gallons

• Water User Fee: $10.00 per quarter per REU
•
•
The average household uses approximately 30,000 gallons of water per quarter. Based on this
information, the average increase per household for sanitary sewer and water per quarter will be from
$109.00 in 2000 to $123.10 in 2001.
City Engineer Powell noted a history of the water rates was included in the Friday update. He
reviewed the rates from 1993 to the proposed rates in 2003. The Metropolitan Council was contacted
about their charges and they indicated they have scheduled increases for 2003 — 2005.
Acting Mayor Dahl opened the public hearing at 6:38 p.m.
Ms. Bev Sellers, 7144 Ivy Ridge Court, came forward and stated she moved to Lino Lakes last
November from Circle Pines. She stated she was shocked with the sewer bill. She stated the rates in

Ms. Gloria Gooden, 1477 Snow Goose Trail, came forward and stated she called many other suburbs
regarding water and sewer rates. She stated Lino Lakes is very high. She indicated she moved here in
1992 and was warned about the high rates. She stated she does not understand what is causing such
high rates within the City. She stated Eden Prairie charges $1.25 per 1,000 gallons with a $12.00
quarterly fee. The City of Eden Prairie has had the same growing pains as Lino Lakes and is still
lower.
City Engineer Powell stated the City's water system is very spread out. He stated he does not
disagree that the rates are high. The development in Eden Prairie is very compact and has a lot of
commercial/industrial use to offset costs. The money from the utility fees is not used for other
expenditures. Depreciation is a large factor relating to the costs. Staff did contact other cities such as
3

Centerville, Blaine, Andover, Ramsey, Shoreview and Lexington. Other cities do have a flat rate and •
some do have user combination fees.
Ms. Gooden stated the City's flat rate is higher than other communities. The fee is not fair to those
who have low usage.
Council Member Reinert inquired about the other cities Ms. Gooden researched.
Ms. Gooden reviewed the rates she researched in the cities of Eden Prairie, Shoreview, New Brighton
and Circle Pines.
Council Member Carlson moved to close the public hearing at 6:48 p.m. Council Member O'Donnell
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Reinert moved to continue Resolution No. 01— 05 . � o. 01-19, Proposed Utility

Finance Director stated st. id iscuss installation of utilities. The costs are paid through trunk
charges and the assessments <_o into a construction trunk fund. Any assessments received go back to
repay loans from the trunk fund.
Council Member Carlson stated when the lines are replaced, homeowners can be assessed a given
amount if it is lower or equal to the increased value of their home. The question is if depreciation
amount can be factored in to that.
Finance Director Rolek stated the City could probably use some of the funds from assessments when
the system is replaced. However, the added value to the home is not the same as the initial
installation. The value of the property will be substantially less than when the system was installed.

COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 26, 2001
City Engineer Powell stated the City can only assess a limited amount when replacements are made.
Depreciation is derived from the total value of the system over 50 years. There will also be increased
costs over that time. The increased costs will cancel out the assessments.
Finance Director Rolek stated depreciation is based on historical cost only. Improvements based on
the cost of the system over 50 years does not factor in inflation.
Council Member Carlson referred to the Charter requirement of both systems being self-sustaining.
However, the Council also has the responsibility of setting fees that are both just and reasonable.
There are many different ways to look at just and reasonable fees. She noted that staff did do a lot of
research for the City and other communities fees. A survey comparing rates was also done. The rates
in Lino Lakes are very high. She stated she wants to see a compromise. Assessments are one avenue
to look at. She stated she does support more discussion on this issue. She stated she has received
calls from residents relating to seniors and fixed rates. Those options also need to be explored. One
resident that called stated he paid for the system when his lot was paid

Acting Mayor Dahl asked ife e additional revenue indicated in the raw data is the only amount that
will be put towards depreciation. Finance Director Rolek stated all the revenues collected go into the
water and sewer fund. They are accumulated to pay current and future costs. Most of the increased
amount will go to depreciation.
Council Member O'Donnell stated the Council did look at the possibility of a senior citizen discount.
The administration of a discount would be very difficult to track and probably end up adding more
cost in the end.
Council Member Reinert stated the reason to table this issue is because it is a very sensitive topic.
The Council may end up passing the proposed rates as is. He stated he does not want to disregard the
responsibility of future costs. City staff and Council needs to exhaust all possibilities before a

decision is made. The reason to continue this item is to look at all options to make the rates easier for
residents. He noted he does not want to derail the proposed rates.
Council Member Carlson stated she agrees with Council Member Reinert. She stated another
possibility is having the rates be based on usage only. That option would benefit senior citizens.
Motion carried unanimously.

Only the minor subdivision is being reviewed at this time. The concept plan is for illustrative
purposes only. Mr. Goertz plans to submit a preliminary plat/PDO for April review by the Planning
and Zoning Board and Council.
Staff has reviewed this minor subdivision request and would comment that the applicant has
demonstrated that a future street layout is possible to serve the plan and minimize access onto Birch
Street. The applicant has met with Anoka County regarding right-of-way needs for Hodgson Road
and is willing to dedicate the additional right-of-way along the west property line and has revised his
sketch accordingly. The proposed new lots (A & B) meet the minimum lot dimensions and other
requirements under the current zoning. Staff recommended approval of the minor subdivision with
conditions.
COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 26, 2001
City Planner Smyser noted the Planning and Zoning Board also recommended approval on a 4-0-1
(Rafferty) vote to approve this minor subdivision based on conditions at their February 13, 2001
meeting.
City Planner Smyser reviewed the information regarding zoning for commercial/residential
comparing the existing land use map to the proposal.
Mr. Rockey Goertz came forward and referred to a sketch of the concept plan noting the plan will go
through the City process. He stated the land needs to be split up for a business deal. The street layout
does have the County's blessing. The right -in right -out option has been approved. The preliminary
plat will be submitted in March 2001.
Council Member Carlson asked if the right -in right -out will be at the same point as the access.
Mr. Goertz stated the right -in right -out will be a little to the north of the access. The access will then
be eliminated.
Council Member Carlson moved to adopt Resolution No. 01 — b`d o he following conditions:
1. Dedication of 27 — 29.73' of right-of-way ' de ted " ong the west property line of

Resolution No. 01— 32, Requesting a Reduction of the Speed Limit on Hodgson Road (CSAH
49), John Powell — City Engineer Powell advised Anoka County is in the process of developing plans
for the reconstruction of Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) from just south of County Road J to Lake Drive.
Consistent with Resolution No. 00 —121, the City Council has indicated they do not approve of the
design options presented to date and wants to develop additional safe options. The road is currently
posted at 50 miles per hour, this speed is being used by Anoka County as the design speed. In order
to provide Anoka County additional, sage roadway design flexibility, the City wants to request that
9
COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 26, 2001
the speed limit be reduced from 50 to 45 miles per hour. If passed, this resolution will be forwarded
to Anoka County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation for consideration.
City Engineer Powell noted the resolution does include a statement regarding speed limit consistency
with the roadway in Shoreview.
Acting Mayor Dahl asked if the resolution will lead to a roadway study that may create a higher
speed. City Engineer Powell replied the resolution does not request a speed study and staff will make
that clear.
Council Member Carlson moved to adopt Resolution No. 01— 32, as presented. Council Member
Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

City Engineer Powell noted the developdeposit escrow funds to pay for the study. If the
project proceeds the developer will r e'F= ` r to their trunk assessment.
Council Member Carlson mov-r a Resolution No. 01 — 30. Council Member Reinert seconded
the motion.
Council Member Carlson "` ouncil has had discussion regarding the role of City Boards.
She stated she does not w ` to ove a project until all City Boards have had a chance to review. The
resolution was tabled at the vironmental Board and has not been reviewed by the Planning and
Zoning Board. The Planning and Zoning Board will review this item next week. She stated she can't
vote to move a project along without allowing the project to go through the entire City process.
City Engineer Powell stated the report is not intended to evaluate utilities within the subdivision. The
developer has asked for guidance regarding design and utilities. Also, there has been concern with the
Old Birch residents relating to utilities. The report is intended to give the developer guidance to
provide trunk utility service to the site.
Council Member Carlson stated she does not feel that the Council should take action before all the
Boards have reviewed the request. She stated she wants the other Boards to make a decision without
the Council making a prior decision.

COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 26, 2001
City Planner Smyser stated he does not feel the study is taking action on the project itself. The design
of the project can not go any further without knowing about utility service. The developer needs to
know the best way to serve the property. Also, residents of Old Birch want to know when City
services will be available to them. The developer will pay for the study.
Acting Mayor Dahl stated she believes supporting the study is getting ahead of the other City Boards.
She noted that she thought utility improvements came further down the line in a project.
City Engineer Powell stated the developer can't proceed with the detailed design of the plan until he
knows how the area will be served. The study is needed for detail regarding this plan. The City has
does this in the past such as the 4th Avenue improvements in 1994.
Council Member O'Donnell inquired about how long the study will take. City Engineer Powell stated
the plan will be received by the Council on March 12, 2001. The developer is looking for guidance
on how to proceed. The City Boards may review on an assumption of to serve the area. That
may change after the study is conducted.
Council Member Carlson stated the project will need sewer ay of Old Birch or Kildeer.
The developer did look at purchasing property to connect i er. g was determined that would be
too expensive. The developer has to connect at Old Bi ch.
City Engineer Powell stated that is incorrect. Th t pl shows a connection at Kildeer. These
• are options that need to be explored.
Council Member Carlson stated that hal h: 'o'ect is not in the MUSA or Phase 1 Growth Area.
She stated there are too many unansw . s . s and she is uncomfortable approving the study at
this time.
Acting Mayor Dahl asked if +'y w' be reviewed by the City Boards. City Engineer Powell
stated the study is not rev Swed b Environmental Board or the Planning and Zoning Board.
Council Member Carlson sled e would like to table the study until March 26, 2001, so the City
Boards have time to review . efore Council action.
Council Member Reinert inquired about a sense of urgency regarding the study. City Engineer Powell
stated staff will give the developer the best possible guidance without the study. He stated he believes
the developer will proceed even without the study.
City Planner Smyser stated the feasibility study is one of the first steps in the project. The concern is
the plan going through the Environmental Board and Planning and Zoning a second time with
revisions. Reviews may be a waste of time without a feasibility study. The developer and the City
need to know how the property can be served.
• City Engineer Powell added staff will provide the best information they can if the study is not
approved.

COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 26, 2001
Council Member O'Donnell asked if the City will then have to pay for the study. City Engineer
Powell stated the developer will be charged for staff time.
Acting Mayor Dahl asked what will happen if the request is turned down. City Engineer Powell
stated staff will give the developer the best recommendation they can. More re -work will be required
without the study. The issue will then go back through the City Boards when the study is completed.
Staff must provide information to the developer even without the study.
Council Member Reinert stated it seems that there is a sense of urgency. He stated he does not want
to circumvent other Boards but sees no harm in approving the study.
Council Member O'Donnell stated he agrees with Council Member Reinert. The study will provide
data that will allow the Council to make the best possible decision.
Council Member Carlson stated other plans have gone through theanni and Zoning Board
without the study. It is not always necessary to have a feasibili t bef•e plans are reviewed.
City Engineer Powell stated that is correct. With some prec fea ility study is not necessary
