1. Public Safety Vehicle Capital Replacement Plan — Fire Division- In regard to
the written staff report, Director Swenson explained that the report contains updated
numbers based on the latest meetings. He noted the audit of the Centennial Fire District
(CFD) that will bring additional information on those funds. At this point, the
distribution to Lino Lakes from the CFD funds is about $1.1 million but that is pending
the results of the audit. In regard to the department's recommendation for capital
equipment replacement for the fire department, it remains the same.
Council Member Rafferty said he has reviewed the staff recommended plan and
appreciates the information and foresight, however, he isn't prepared to commit to all the
funding at this time. He'd like to see how things fall into place over the next few years.
Council Member Manthey recalled that the council's discussion on the plan has seemed
to portray concern about the costs and an interest in seeing how the department runs prior
to purchasing additional equipment.
Council Member Rafferty said he's heard one person from the CFD express concern
about the purchase plan. He's not certain all council members and the chief received that
communication but he did look into the questions posed. He has spoken with people in
the field who have lots of experience and some that are using the pumper truck. He's
heard good things about the equipment. He feels the department's recommendation is
good and he supports the purchase of one pumper truck to see how they work for this
department. Then look at an additional unit in a year or two.
Mayor Reinert noted his experience with the CFD and knowledge that they were
preparing to purchase new equipment. Regarding the pumper truck, it is a "rock star" in
the firefighting field and he also could support purchasing one of the units and testing the
practice.
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION February 1, 2016
DRAFT
46 Council Member Kusterman said he's heard some concern about what the pumper truck
47 may not be good at. Council Member Manthey responded that he's spoken with Director
48 Swenson about how this unit can be used for structure fires and he believes it is a little
49 low on volume for that use. For a structure fire he thinks the truck should have 500
50 gallons of water or more. Council Member Manthey said he's concerned about what
51 equipment the department will need in the coming years and he'd like more review and
52 discussion about the schedule for replacing the fire engines. Mayor Reinert suggested
53 that a structure fire will draw more than the pumper truck. Council Member Manthey
54 said if the goal is to save wear and tear on the larger vehicles, this pumper wouldn't be it
55 then since it appears the larger vehicles will still have to be used and the firefighters will
56 still have to fully train with them. Director Swenson added that the pumpers would be
57 the first out vehicles and if an emergency involves a structure fire, the department would
58 continue to send what is necessary.
59
60 Deputy Director D'Allier added that it's clear that the department has some apparatus that
61 needs to be replaced. It's also clear that the department will have to respond to some
62 medical calls. He feels the pumper truck is a good fit and further it would improve the
63 city's ISO rating. He is aware that other fire agencies are using these pumper trucks for
64 their everyday calls. He assured the council that staff has done a lot of work on how they
65 can extend the life of all the fire equipment and this is the recommendation.
66
67 The council discussed how the purchase of one pumper truck could impact the plan; the
68 chassis of the truck may change for future years and so if the city were to purchase an
69 additional truck later, it could be different and have training implications. Director
70 Swenson suggested that one way to address that concern would be to purchase two
71 chassis, outfit just one of the vehicles and then implement the second vehicle later this
72 year or early next. He added that foremost in this discussion, he would like to achieve a
73 council action earmarking all of the $1.1 million coming from the CFD to the
74 replacement of fire department equipment and additionally have a plan for that
75 replacement. The mayor reminded the council that he supports an annual appropriation
76 to a replacement fund.
77
78 The council discussed the cost of purchasing two chassis and outfitting only one.
79 Director Swenson estimated that cost to be almost $300,000. The mayor asked if there
80 is risk in purchasing two chassis; what if the city doesn't want the second vehicle.
81 Director Swenson remarked that he is certain there would be a market for the second
82 chassis if the city doesn't want it. Council Member Kusterman noted that depreciation
83 should be a consideration.
84
85 Mayor Reinert stated that he supports the purchase of two chassis but outfitting only one.
86
87 Council Member Maher remarked that she feels the council may be rushing this decision
88 because of a February order deadline (for truck orders). The department has only been in
89 full operation for a couple of days. If it's a question of the department may or may not
2
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION February 1, 2016
DRAFT
90 utilize a second chassis, she thinks that money should be kept to see if there is another
91 important need.
92
93 Council Member Kusterman said the council has expert staff advising them and that leads
94 him to support the purchase of one full unit and another chassis as recommended.
95
96 Council Member Manthey said he is focused on being able to obtain a new ladder truck
97 when that is needed down the road. There will be expenses in having the necessary
98 equipment and he doesn't see the annual appropriation that is being discussed ($140,000)
99 being able to cover all that expense. The council should be aware that the appropriation
100 would have to go up in order to meet future needs. He doesn't believe that the pumper
101 truck can replace the other trucks.
102
103 Mayor Reinert said he disagrees. The CFD had a replacement plan in place and the city
104 is using that information. The council will certainly be watching that plan and looking at
105 the situation before purchasing equipment; perhaps the addition of the pumper trucks can
106 make the other equipment last longer.
107
108 Council Member Rafferty noted that he has done research and understands that things are
109 moving forward in the field of firefighting equipment. He hasn't researched the option
110 of the purchasing a seconded chassis but he hears Director Swenson making that
111 recommendation.
112
113 The council discussed the estimated cost of purchasing two chassis and outfitting one.
114 What are the additional costs after that? Deputy Director D'Allier explained that the
115 additional costs past what has been explained would be very limited and low expense.
116
117 Mayor Reinert remarked that he's heard public safety staff talk about selling some of the
118 equipment coming from the CFD and he'd advise them to hang onto everything at this
119 point. Council Member Manthey concurred.
120
121 The council clarified for Director Swenson that the matter of approving the capital
122 replacement plan for the Fire Division should be added to the next council agenda for
123 official action. Administrator Karlson said he would add options for the replacement
124 plan to the council agenda of February 8 and the council can then direct staff on a
125 purchase plan. Mayor Reinert remarked that he would like to see the council act on
126 setting an annual contribution to fund a capital replacement plan along with a plan to
127 spend the money.
128
129 2. League of Minnesota Cities' Charter Assistance Program — Administrator Karlson
130 explained that a couple of weeks previous he heard from the League of Minnesota Cities
131 (LMC). The Lino Lakes Charter Commission has approached the LMC about getting
132 assistance with a charter amendment proposal. The LMC will only provide this type of
133 assistance with approval of the city.
134

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION February 1, 2016
DRAFT
135 Several members of the Lino Lakes Charter Commission were present. Chair Caroline
136 Dahl, Vice Chair Pat Devaney, Co -Secretary Chris Bretoi and Commission Member
137 Craig Johnson came forward to discuss the request. Ms. Dahl indicated that Mr.
138 Karlson's staff report accurately explains the request.
139
140 Council Member Kusterman asked for an explanation of what brings the matter forward.
141 Ms. Dahl said this particular matter (of receiving assistance from the LMC) was
142 discussed by the Commission previous to the recent change in membership. The
143 previous chair wasn't able to get the necessary research done before her term ended so
144 Ms. Dahl followed up with the LMC when she was requested by the Commission to do
145 so. The ward amendment has been discussed consistently by the Commission for the
146 past few years. A Commission member did research on the matter and got language
147 from other charters, however, when that was sent forward to go to ballot, the city attorney
148 found the language to be a problem and the amendment proposed didn't go forward. The
149 Commission asked to have the city attorney assist with redrafting an amendment but that
150 was feared to be a conflict of interest for him. Ms. Dahl said historically the
151 Commission has used the LMC for assistance, noting assistance received in implementing
152 an amendment removing the term "Clerk Treasurer" from the charter. The Commission
153 understands it is necessary to get city approval to get this assistance.
154
155 Council Member Kusterman asked what facilitates the need to establish a ward system in
156 the city. Commission member Bretoi explained that the Commission's forwarded the
157 matter not because there is full support for a ward system in the city but because there
158 was belief that the question should be decided by the citizens (through consideration on
159 the ballot). The group wants to get the legal assistance necessary to send forward an
160 amendment if they choose to do so. There was a discussion of whether or not some areas
161 of the city feel less represented. The basic idea is to take the question to the citizens.
162 Commissioner Johnson added that the Commission needs this type of assistance and can't
163 do its work without it. Vice Chair Devaney said he is currently neutral on the ward
164 question but he has been concerned about the dysfunctional relationship between the
165 Charter and the Council; he thinks that the role of the LMC to assist cities is clear and
166 that should serve this process well.
167
168 Council Member Maher confirmed that the Commission has funding available in their
169 budget for the LMC services. Chair Dahl said it's her understanding that the
170 Commission's budget balance is $1,500.
171
172 Mayor Reinert stated that he doesn't support having wards in the city because he feels it
173 results in less representation and can breakdown the work of the council. On the matter
174 of signing on for assistance from the LMC, he may have to learn more in areas such as
175 does it set a precedent. On the matter of the council's relationship with the charter
176 commission, he suggests that there's always been the desire but to work it has to be a
177 two-way street.
178

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION February 1, 2016
DRAFT
179 Charter Co -Secretary Bretoi remarked that the purpose of bringing the request to the
180 council is not to debate the merits of the ward system but to get necessary assistance in
181 case the Commission wants to send forward an amendment.
182
183 Commission Member Howard Juni noted that he received some background information
184 on the Charter Commission as a new member. Within that information is a resolution
185 that clearly states the reason the ward amendment was declined for the ballot. The
186 commission can get advice based on that and have their discussion with information the
187 should have. He also noted that, since the matter of the ward amendment was discussed
188 in 2014, there are new members on both the council and the commission so it's
189 discussion that needs to occur. And the groups need to be able to understand if it's a
190 legal possibility and then discuss the merit of sending it forward as a policy matter.
191
192 Council Member Manthey noted that he thinks this matter provides a good opportunity
193 for the council and charter commission to work together. He thinks the LMC is an
194 appropriate place to go for this assistance.
195
196 The council and the commission members present discussed the neutrality of the
197 assistance. It's not about whether the amendment is a good idea but how to write a legal
198 amendment.
199
200 Administrator Karlson remarked that he believes that the LMC is in the position to
201 provide the assistance the commission is requesting.
202
203 Mayor Reinert asked that the question be put into a report and sent to the council for an
204 official vote. He also suggested the possibility of a joint meeting between the council
205 and commission.
206
207 3. I -35W North Managed Lanes Project — Noise Wall — Community Development
208 Director Grochala reviewed a project planned to expand I -35W south of Lino Lakes. The
209 project will include some resurfacing to the portion of the highway that runs through the
210 city and the addition of a noise wall on the south side of the freeway. The city has the
211 opportunity for input and can decide how that process of receiving input from the public
212 will be handled. Mr. Grochala said he recommends that input be received through
213 informational meetings followed by a vote (areas can opt out of noise walls). He'd also
214 like to know if the city council would like to schedule presentation to the council by
215 MnDOT.
216
217 Council Member Maher noted that she recently attended some training through the
218 League of Minnesota Cities and engaged there with other council members from cities in
219 the area. She heard comments that the roadway widening improvements stop at the
220 border to the city because the city didn't get involved in the process. Community
221 Development Director Grochala explained that MnDOT didn't include the Lino Lakes'
222 portion in the roadway expansion project from the onset but the city was invited to
5
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION February 1, 2016
DRAFT
223 participate in the process in December because there is a maintenance portion that
224 extends into the city.
225
226 The council concurred with Mr. Grochala's recommendation for informational meetings
227 for the citizens and requests no MnDOT presentation to the council.
228
229 4. Metropolitan Council 2015 System Statement- City Planner Larsen reviewed
230 her written report regarding the statement that the city receives from the Metropolitan
231 Council that explains implications on the city of their policy plans on transportation,
232 water resources, regional parks and housing. All the information ties into the regional
233 process of cities updating their comprehensive plans, which the city will need to do by
234 2018. She explained that this system statement was brought to the Planning & Zoning
235 Board for review and the group had no major comments or concerns. She reviewed the
236 analysis of the elements of the statement included in her staff report. She added that staff
237 doesn't see any significant changes from what is included in the city's plans.
238
239 When Mayor Reinert asked for an explanation of any changes, Community Development
240 Director Grochala explained that the city has been changed in title - to an emerging edge
241 community. Basically that means that the city has moved to a different category due to
242 population forecasts since it is now projected to reach an additional 10,000 in 2040 rather
243 than 2030. Mr. Grochala also reviewed the city's sewer districts and explained the
244 possibility of future changes in staging, noting that development is basically dictated by
245 utility staging.
246
247 5. Local Surface Water Management Plan Update - Community Development
248 Director Grochala reviewed his written staff report outlining a) the need to update the
249 city's plan based on an updated watershed district plan; b) how the plan was distributed
250 and reviewed; c) comments received; and d) the implications of further amendments
251 (only expected in the case of the NE Drainage Area project). He said that the plan has
252 received the required sign -off from the Metropolitan Council and Rice Creek Watershed
253 District and is now ready for city council approval. He added that ninety percent of the
254 document is showing what is in the city but there are twelve issue categories and a big
255 one is water quality/impaired lakes as determined by fitness for swimming. The city's
256 lakes are mostly high is phosphorous and low in dissolved oxygen mainly in relation to
257 the depth of the lakes. The city's update of the storm water section of the city code was
258 done as a part of this review and has already been passed by the council. The council
259 discussed the impact of lawn fertilizer on lakes and water.
260
261 The council concurred that this matter will appear for consideration of approval on the
262 next council meeting agenda.
263
264 6. Community Development Project Update - Community Development Director
265 Grochala Staff provided a brief verbal update on the status of various projects currently
266 ongoing within the city, including:

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION February 1, 2016
DRAFT
267 • D.R. Horton Land Sale and Legacy Development — staff is speaking with the developers
268 about design and they want to discuss the city's architectural standards. Staff is
269 suggesting that Council Member Rafferty may want to sit in on those discussions.
270 • Watermark — Mattamy Development along 35E — The council will hold a joint meeting
271 with the city advisory boards on February 17 and an update on this development will be
272 covered. The city is in receipt of plans from the developer and are reviewing them.
273 • Watermark — Stormwater Reuse Study.
274 • 49 Club Demolition — the city does not yet have an agreement with the owner for
275 demolition; if that isn't in place in a few weeks, staff will look into action under the
276 hazardous properties statute and that would involve an inspection and a court order.
277 • NE Drainage Area Plan — have finished up the feasibility study and are moving on to
278 value engineering to find options; Environmental Board has reviewed and offered good
279 input.
280 • Fox Road connection (Saddle Club to Foxborough) — developer will be coming in with
281 Phase II changed to a cul-de-sac project.
282
283 7. MXU Change -Out Program — Public Services Director DeGardner reviewed his
284 written report providing information on the city's program to replace obsolete utility
285 meter reading devices. He has contracted with Midwest Testing to perform the change -
286 out of the devices. The contractor will work directly with the homeowners and schedule
287 appointments for access when necessary. As part of this program, he recommends that
288 the council approve a change to the city fee schedule to add an escalating charge for
289 customers that are not willing to schedule an appointment. The council confirmed how
290 the notification process of homeowners will be handled and where the penalty fits in.
291 Mr. DeGardner added that the cost of the replacement will be funded through the city's
292 Water Operating Fund so there will be no charges to users. He also notified the council
293 that there will be a rate study analysis and recommendations coming forward as found to
294 be appropriate.
295
296 9. Council Updates on Boards and Commissions -
297
298 Joint Law Enforcement Council — Council Member Manthey reported that he
299 attended his first meeting of this group and he sees that the group deals with
300 funding, committees and there is lots of opportunity for his involvement. Much of
301 the work of the group is centered around dispatch/communications.
302 North Metro Telecommunications Committee — Council Member Maher reported
303 that she attended a short meeting of the group. Discussion centered on
304 bonds/funding to retool equipment.
305 Board of Appeal and Equalization — Council Member Kusterman reported that he
306 has completed the required training for the Board; Council Member Maher
307 indicated she has completed training also.
308 Anoka County Fire Protection Council — Mayor Reinert remarked that the group is
309 still quite new and is still getting its numbers in order; they did approve a 2017
310 budget.

DRAFT
312 10. Monthly Progress Report- Administrator Karlson reviewed the written report.
313 Updates on the following:
314
315 Polling Locations — Mr. Karlson noted that the city clerk has been working on the
316 matter and has some summary information; however, he noted the Charter
317 Commission discussion on establishment of wards which could, if put on the
318 ballot and passed, have an impact on the precinct lines. So rather than beginning
319 the larger task of redrawing lines now it may be wise to wait. City Clerk Bartell
320 provided information gathered on polling place possibilities to date. The council
321 reviewed options to better serve the southeast corner of the city, including
322 splitting the current 6th precinct. The council acknowledged the value of waiting
323 before making any major changes but will anticipate additional information on
324 options at the next work session.
325 Veterans' Memorial (added to report) — Mayor Reinert updated the council on
326 progress to develop a veterans' memorial. The Yellow Ribbon Group will be
327 meeting regularly now and is touching on this project and he thinks people need to
328 continue thinking about location, assistance, design (benches?) and costs. The
329 mayor mentioned the city's Common Bond Fund as a possible funding source
330 since those reserve funds have generally been used for one-time expenses. Public
331 Services Director DeGardner noted that the center island in front of city hall has
332 been mentioned as a possible location but he doesn't feel that would be ideal
333 because of its small size, the amount of traffic regularly driving around the area
334 and the basic lack of privacy. The council will continue to discuss the matter as
335 part of the monthly progress report.
336
337 11. Review Regular Agenda of February 8, 2016 - The agenda items were
338 reviewed as necessary by staff and the council. Regarding the regular Public Safety
339 Department Update, the council will anticipate hearing that once a month rather than
340 every meeting.
341
342 The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 p.m.
343
344 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on

54 She has received and accepted a conditional job offer and staff is awaiting the results of a background
55 check. He is confident she will be a good fit for the position.

61 3B) Consider Approval of Charter Commission's Request for League of Minnesota Cities
62 (LMC) Assistance — Administrator Karlson reviewed the request of the Charter Commission to
63 receive council authority to hire the LMC as they continue to discuss a proposed charter amendment
64 regarding wards.
65
66 Council Member Rafferty clarified that the assistance would be related only to work on a ward
67 amendment.
68
69 Mayor Reinert noted that the council has discussed this matter with some Commission members at a
70 recent work session. Although he doesn't support an amendment to add wards to the city, he thinks
71 this will be an opportunity for the two groups (council and charter commission) to have discussion
72 together. Bringing forward an amendment proposal is certainly within the authority of the
73 commission so the request for assistance from the LMC is appropriate.
74
75 Council Member Rafferty moved to approve the request of the Lino Lakes Charter Commission to
76 receive and pay for assistance from the LMC Charter Assistance Program in drafting an amendment
77 to the City Charter regarding wards. Council Member Maher seconded the motion.
78
79 Council Member Kusterman noted that he understands the amendment itself is about city governance
80 and although he doesn't agree with enacting a ward system for a city this size, he respects that it is a
81 decision that can be made by the voters.

83 Council Member Manthey added that with a number of new members on the Charter Commission, he

COUNCIL MINUTES February 8, 2016
DRAFT
90 4A) Consider Public Safety Vehicle Capital Replacement Plan — Fire Division — Public Safety
91 Director Swenson briefly reviewed his written staff report outlining the department's proposal for a
92 capital replacement plan for the city's fire division. The council has discussed the plan at several
93 work sessions. He pointed out that the department's preference for the plan remains to be to purchase
94 in 2016 two Ford F550 chassis and to outfit both chassis as light rescue / mini pumpers.
95
96 Mayor Reinert noted council discussions about both the equipment and the purchase schedule. He
97 understands that the purchase of the two trucks is intended to extend the life of the larger fire
98 vehicles. He also understands that it would work well to have two similar pumper vehicles so that
99 fire staff has the same familiarity with both. There is funding available from the Centennial Fire
100 District capital fund that is being distributed and of which the city will receive seventy percent.
101 Those things being said, he is somewhat uncomfortable with a huge purchase right now. The pumper
102 trucks are recognized as "rock stars" in the industry right now and but he'd prefer that the city have
103 one of the trucks, try it out and ensure it works well for the department. One option is to purchase
104 two of the chassis and outfit only one of them; the remaining chassis is then available to be outfitted
105 in the future or sold.
106
107 Council Member Manthey asked staff for an explanation of any implications of waiting to purchase
108 the vehicles. Is there any concern about being able to provide services to the community without the
109 new trucks? Public Safety Director Swenson said there is absolutely no concern about the services of
110 the department without the new equipment however, the idea is to maximize the life of all the
111 equipment.
112
113 Staff reviewed the cost of the options presented in the report. There could be a small increase in the
114 cost of outfitting a second truck in the future rather than this year.
115
116 Council Member Maher asked how the provision of one fully outfitted truck rather than two changes
117 the department's plans and Director Swenson explained that there are some implications as far as
118 training since personnel from both stations should receive training; it is doable with one truck.
119
120 Council Member Rafferty stated that he thinks it's important to get one truck and then analyze the
121 situation. He has done research with other cities who have the pumper vehicle or are looking to
122 purchase it and he would still prefer a cautious approach.
123
124 Council Member Manthey noted that he hears staff saying that they are pushing out the replacement
125 of the larger fire vehicles based on having the new pumper trucks in the fleet. He wonders if that
126 means that staff is changing the capital plan to reflect a change (regarding replacement of the larger
127 trucks)? Director Swenson said that staff will have to review that as they continue to look at the
128 equipment status.
129
130 Council Member Kusterman moved to approve the replacement option that includes the purchase of
131 two Ford F550 chassis and outfitting one chassis as light rescue / mini pumper. Council Member
132 Maher seconded the motion.

134 Director Swenson asked for clarification regarding his previous intent to sell some fire equipment if

136 equipment right away and he would like to clarify that is still the case.
137

145 5A) Consider Resolution No. 16-07 Awarding Bid for Water Tower #1 Reconditioning
146 Project- Public Services Director DeGardner reviewed his written report, highlighting the process the
147 city has used to receive bids for the water tower project. He noted the low bidder and the amount of
148 their bid. He is recommending against the one alternate included in the bid process that relates to not
149 including a multi -color logo on the tower. Staff has checked on past work of the low bidder and has
150 found they have performed satisfactorily on other similar projects. Council Member Manthey asked
151 if staff has checked to make sure there won't be large overages in the project and Mr. DeGardner
152 explained that the specifications for the project were developed in detail and that should ensure that
153 unexpected costs don't develop. Council Member Kusterman asked about the timing of the bid
154 process; could that be the reason the city only received three bids. Mr. DeGardner explained that the
155 number of bids has to do with the project schedule; the City prefers to have this project underway in
156 the spring so as to avoid running into the high water usage season and some companies were
157 obviously already booked for spring projects.

AGENDA ITEM 3A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson
MEETING DATE: February 22, 2016
TOPIC: Call for Reform of Metropolitan Council
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
A coalition of county and city leaders is asking other elected officials to support a call for
reform of the Metropolitan Council by adopting a resolution with principles for strengthening
regional planning and development.
BACKGROUND
The Metropolitan Council was established in 1967 to provided regional planning services for a
seven -county area in the Twin Cities area, which includes Anoka County. Over the years, the
Council's scope for managing growth has increased, but not its level of accountability to local
governments and citizens. Many citizens and local government officials feel disconnected
from the Metropolitan Council, which undermines its credibility and prevents it from
functioning as an effective regional governance body.
The coalition of county and city leaders is asking the City Council to join them in their call for
reform by adopting the attached resolution.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of Resolution No. 16-09, supporting principles for reform of Metropolitan Council.

RESOULTION SUPPORTING PRINCIPLES
FOR REFORM OF METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
WHEREAS, regional planning and local government cooperation is vital to the continued
success of the Minneapolis -St. Paul Metropolitan Area; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council is, by statute, the regional planning agency for the
Minneapolis -St. Paul Metropolitan Area, with broad authority, including the ability to levy taxes,
charge fees, and set regional policy; and
WHEREAS, cities and counties are the entities most directly affected by policies and financial
decisions of the Metropolitan Council, making them the primary constituents of the Metropolitan
Council; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council's scope of authority and involvement in regional issues
has expanded significantly over the years; and
WHEREAS, a governmental entity, particularly one with taxing authority, to be effective, must
be credible, responsive, and accountable to those it represents; and
WHEREAS, the appointment of Metropolitan Council members resides solely with the
Governor, effectively making the Governor the primary constituent of the Metropolitan Council;
and
WHEREAS, many cities and counties believe that the Metropolitan Council lacks accountability
and responsiveness to them as direct constituents; and
WHEREAS, many cities and counties believe that the authority to impose taxes and set regional
policy should be the responsibility of local government elected officials; and
WHEREAS, reform is necessary to ensure that the Metropolitan Council is an effective,
responsive, and accountable partner for regional development and progress.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes that
the Metropolitan Council, due to its taxing and policy authority, should be accountable to a
regional constituency of those impacted by its decisions; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Metropolitan Council should not operate as a state
agency answerable to only one person, the Governor, as it does in its current form; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Lino Lake City Council supports reform of the
Metropolitan Council that adheres to the following principles:
1. A majority of the members of the Metropolitan Council shall be elected officials,
appointed from cities and counties within the region;
2. Metropolitan cities shall directly control the appointment process for city representatives
to the Metropolitan Council;
3. Metropolitan counties shall directly appoint their own representatives to the Metropolitan
Council;
4. The terms of office for any Metropolitan Council members appointed by the Governor
shall be staggered and not coterminous with the Governor;
5. Membership on the Metropolitan Council shall include representation from every
metropolitan county government;
6. The Metropolitan Council shall represent the entire region, therefore voting shall be
structured based on population and incorporate a system of checks and balances.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes this 22nd day of February 2016.
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was introduced by Council Member
and was duly seconded by Council Member and upon
vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof:

Respectful, Innovative, Fiscally Responsible
February 8, 2016
Dear Council Member:
We are part of a coalition of county and city leaders from the suburban metropolitan area who have
become increasingly concerned with a lack of accountability from the Metropolitan Council, especially
as its scope of authority and involvement in regional issues continue to expand. It is our belief that an
updated Metropolitan Council governance structure, one that makes the Council accountable to the
regional constituency of those impacted by its decisions, would benefit this region greatly. We seek
your support for the attached principles for reform that would increase local participation and
collaboration to help guide orderly growth and economic development in our region.
We ask that you adopt the attached resolution calling for substantive change to the Council.
Structure Limits Local Representation
Metropolitan Council members are non -elected individuals answerable only to the Governor, an office
that has often been elected without majority support from metropolitan -area voters. We believe the
Council, which has the ability to levy taxes on metropolitan -area residents, should be answerable to
the citizens and taxpayers of the area it represents rather than a single officeholder and should feature
strong county representation and representation from other local elected officials. This call for reform
echoes the 2011 conclusion of the nonpartisan Office of the Legislative Auditor. In the evaluation
report Governance of Transit in the Twin Cities Region, Legislative Auditor Nobles recommended a Council
with a mix of gubernatorial appointees and elected officials from the region.
Substantial Changes in Role of Council Since 1967
The Metropolitan Council was established in 1967 to provide regional planning services for the Twin
Cities area. However, at the same time the Council's management of growth, and in particular its
coordination of regional services, has changed dramatically. The Council's scope has increased, but
not its level of accountability to the local governments and citizens of the metropolitan area. Many
citizens and local government officials feel disconnected from the present Metropolitan Council,
undermining its credibility and preventing it from functioning as an effective regional governance
body.
In closing, we hope you will join us in our call for reform by adopting the attached resolution with
principles to strengthen regional planning and development. We welcome the opportunity to meet
with you and your colleagues to present this and discuss further. Please contact Claire Pritchard at
651-438-4540 (or at Claire.Pritchard@co.dakota.mn.us) for more information or to schedule a
presentation by an elected official to your Council or Board. We look forward to working with you in
this effort to unite the region for continued growth and prosperity.
Please make every effort to return the adopted resolution to
Claire.Pritchard@co.dakota.mn.us by Tuesday, March 8, or as early as possible given your
approval process.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Sivarajah, Chair Brian Kirkham

Metropolitan Governance Reform
Twin Cities' Local Government Coalition
-Statement of Objectives -
A coalition of local governments throughout the metropolitan area has joined together to
develop a position statement and a set of principles for improving metropolitan governance
in the Twin Cities.
The Coalition supports the need for regional planning, collaboration and coordination, but
seeks to expand local government representation on the Metropolitan Council.
The Coalition's objectives for its collective effort to improved governance are:
1. To articulate a vision of responsive and effective metropolitan governance—as
represented by a Statement of Belief and Principles for Reform of the Metropolitan
Council
2. To align local government interests behind a reform effort—through formation of a
broad coalition of metropolitan Cities and Counties —and a common position.
3. To be prepared for any efforts—legislative and otherwise—to reform the
governance structure and functioning of the Metropolitan Council.
Attached is the Coalition's Statement of Belief and Principles for Reform.
Twin Cities' Local Government Coalition
Principles for Metropolitan Council Reform
The following principles were developed by a coalition of cities and counties in the metropolitan area, a
coalition created to advocate for reform of the Metropolitan Council. The group believes that an effective
Metropolitan Council should reflect the following principles, which were developed based on the group's
core Statement of Belief (printed below).
STATEMENT OF BELIEF:
The Metropolitan Council, due to its taxing and policy authority, should be accountable to a regional
constituency of those impacted by its decisions. It should not operate as a state agency—as it does in
its current form—answerable to only one person, the Governor.
Principles for Metropolitan Council Reform:
I. A majority of the members of the Metropolitan Council shall be elected officials, appointed
from cities and counties within the region.
II. Metropolitan cities shall directly control the appointment process for city representatives to
the Metropolitan Council.
III. Metropolitan counties shall directly appoint their own representatives to the Metropolitan
Council.
IV. The terms of office for any Metropolitan Council members appointed by the Governor shall
be staggered and not coterminous with the Governor.
V. Membership on the Metropolitan Council shall include representation from every
metropolitan county government.
VI. The Metropolitan Council shall represent the entire region, therefore voting shall be
structured based on population and incorporate a system of checks and balances.

Background and Justification of Position
The Metropolitan Council was created to provide for the orderly and economic development of the Twin
Cities metropolitan area. It has the responsibility and authority to guide the region's growth and to
provide important regional services. The Counties of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, and Scott support the
concept of a regional approach, and have no wish to abolish the Council or diminish the importance of
regional collaboration.
However, the Council's management of growth, and in particular the coordination and delivery of
regional services has changed dramatically. At the same time, the role of counties has evolved.
Increasingly, Counties have undertaken direct provision of regional services including: hazardous and
solid waste management, transit funding and transitway development, regional parks, regional
highways, water resources planning and watershed management, greenway and bikeway development,
farmland and open space preservation, the regional library system, fiber communications networks, and
the 800 MHz radio network.
The Council's recent focus on reducing poverty and disparities makes it even more essential that within
the governance structure there is understanding and improved coordination with county programs ---
which exclusively provide economic assistance, social services, workforce development/employment,
counseling, public health, nutrition and family "home visiting" services, workforce and specialized
housing programs and many other anti -poverty and human services. In these and many other
circumstances, the State, Metropolitan Council and city governments have all looked to counties to
provide both the financial and political leadership needed to address key regional issues.
Thus, while a strong regional approach is necessary for many issues, it is necessary for the regional
governing body to feature strong county representation, as well as representation from other local
elected officials. Currently, the members of the Council are non -elected individuals answerable only to
the Governor, an office that has often been elected without majority support from metropolitan -area
voters. The Council, which has the ability to levy taxes on metropolitan -area residents, should be
answerable to the citizens and taxpayers of the area it represents rather than a single officeholder.
The best way to ensure that the interests of citizens of the metropolitan -area are represented is to
have a preponderance of locally elected officials on the Council --individuals that do not serve
exclusively at the pleasure of the Governor. This will have the added benefit of allowing the Council to
meet federal guidelines to serve as the region's Metropolitan Planning Organization, a move encouraged
by Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHA) to make the Council
"more directly accountable to its public1."
Regional governance is vital to the metropolitan area's continued success. However, in order for a
regional body to be effective it must be credible, meaning that regional citizens must feel that the body
effectively represents their goals and values. Citizens currently feel disconnected from the Metropolitan
Council, preventing it from functioning as an effective regional governance body. The coalition of
suburban counties is working to join the Metropolitan Council with the people it represents, so the
region as a whole can unite for continued growth and prosperity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: METROPOLITAN COUNCIL REFORM PRINCIPLES
1) Why now?
Reform of the Metropolitan Council has been an issue on the minds of many local governments
for many years. However, political realities have created obstacles that thwarted many previous
attempts at reform.
The release of ThriveMSP2040 reinvigorated the drive for reform in many cities and counties
who were unhappy with aspects of the plan. However, our call for change is not a reaction to
the specifics of the plan, or to how it allocates resources. Instead, the experience drove home
what little incentive the Council has to take into account the opinions of local governments.
Councilmembers do not answer to the local constituency, but rather to a constituency of one:
the Governor. We realized this was the core problem, and the release of Thrive2040 was the
catalyst that renewed our efforts to build a coalition for governance reform.
2) Who makes up the coalition?
The coalition originated with officials from Anoka, Carver, Dakota, and Scott Counties, who
share a collective opinion that the Metropolitan Council must be more accountable to the
regional constituency. They made the decision to develop principles for reform, and, knowing it
was important to have the perspective of cities represented as well, invited certain city officials
with interest in reform to join the group. The city officials (listed in Attachment A) represent
themselves alone, and do not necessarily represent the views of their entire councils. Together
this group developed a mutually -agreed-upon set of principles for reform.
3) You're asking cities to adopt these principles, knowing that they go against the position of
Metro Cities. Doesn't this undermine the work of the Metro Cities organization?
We believe that Metro Cities plays a vital role in advocating for city interests, and we did invite
them to play a part in the development of the shared principles. However, they ultimately
decided to withdraw from the group due the incompatibility of our positions. We had hoped to
work together toward reform, and we hope to work together in the future if the position of the
organization changes.
However, in the meantime we are aware of many cities with positions on Metropolitan Council
reform that contradict the official Metro Cities position, and we believe that those cities should
have their voices heard in the Legislature.
1
4) What are the next steps?
These draft principles have been distributed to every city and county in the metropolitan area,
and we hope to have as many as possible adopt these principles. We are happy to discuss the
principles, along with our reasons for wanting reform, with any Board or Council in the area.
During the Legislative Session we will present these adopted resolutions to Legislators to
illustrate how important reform is to local governments in the metro -area, and we will work
with Legislators to advance reform proposals that meet the adopted principles.
5) How do other cities do it?
Every other major metropolitan area's regional planning organization (see Attachment B), as
well as every other regional planning organization in Minnesota, is made up of a majority of
local elected officials.
6) Is this an effort to get rid of the Metropolitan Council?
Absolutely not. Regional governance is important, but it would be more effective and credible
with local representation. In the current system, Metropolitan Council members are non-
elected individuals answerable only to the Governor, an office that has often been elected
without majority support from metropolitan -area voters. The Council, which has the ability to
levy taxes on metropolitan -area residents, should be answerable to the citizens and taxpayers of
the area it represents rather than a single officeholder and should feature strong county
representation from local elected officials.
7) Is this a reaction to the ThriveMSP2040 plan?
No. Many cities and counties were unhappy with aspects of the Council's plan. However, our call
for reform is not a reaction to the specifics of the plan, or to how it allocates resources. Instead,
the experience drove home to many what little incentive the Council has to take into account
the opinions of local governments. The Council does not answer to the local constituency, but
rather to a constituency of one- the Governor. We realized that this was the core problem, and
the release of Thrive2040 was the catalyst to renew our efforts to build a coalition for
governance reform.
8) Is there other support for this?
Yes, many other entities and organizations have come out in support for reform. In 2011, for
example, the Office of the Legislative Auditor released a report recommending that the
Metropolitan Council be composed of a majority elected officials, citing the Council's "limited
credibility" due to a governance structure that limits accountability.
2
The City of Minneapolis also passed a resolution on January 14, 2011, asking the Legislature to
reform the Council so that a "majority of council members shall be locally elected city and
county officials."
Furthermore, representatives of the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit
Administration, responsible for certifying the Council as eligible to receive federal transportation
and transit funding, have encouraged reform of the Council to make it "more directly
accountable to its public."
9) Would these principles turn the Metropolitan Council into a Council of Governments (COG)?
No. Councils of Governments have little authority beyond transportation planning and regional
coordination of service. The level of authority that the Legislature has granted the Metropolitan
Council, including the authority to levy taxes, is unique. None of the proposed principles
diminish Council authority in any way, and will not transform the Council into a COG.
10) Do you oppose the Governor?
No. This is not a partisan issue- we would feel the same way whether the Governor was a
Republican or a Democrat. What troubles us is that the entire membership and focus of the
Council can shift depending on who is in power. The Council should represent the interests of
the region, not a single individual.
11) Is this about the suburbs complaining?
No. This is about ensuring that the entire region feels represented by the Metropolitan Council.
12) Is the Met Council accountable to their constituents?
No. Although the Met Council has the power to levy taxes on metropolitan area residents, it is
not accountable to those residents and is instead solely accountable to the Governor, an
individual that over the last five election cycles was only once elected with majority support
from metro -area voters.
3
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PRINCIPLES THEMSELVES:
13) Aren't local elected officials too busy to serve on the Council?
There is a time commitment to serving on the Council, true, but it is only a part-time
engagement. Many current Metropolitan Council members hold other full-time jobs.
Furthermore, local elected officials serve on the metropolitan planning organizations of every
other large city in the country.
If these principles are enacted it will be part of cities and counties' role to ensure that those
appointed to the Council are comfortable with the time commitment.
14) Isn't it a conflict of interest to ask an official elected by one specific city or county to represent
an entire region?
Local elected officials already serve in many capacities where they must consider regional
interests. The Council's Transportation Advisory Board, for example, which recommends
allocation of transportation and transit funding throughout the region, is made up of majority of
local elected officials. The Counties Transit Improvement Board and the Metropolitan Mosquito
Control District Board are two other examples where local elected officials serve and represent
the interests of an entire region. Even the structure of County Boards and City Councils requires
local elected officials to represent the interests of the entire city/county, rather than the specific
district that elected them.
15) What happens if a local elected official leaves office in the middle of his/her Metropolitan
Council appointment?
We purposely made these principles high-level. We do not want to get into the details of a
specific plan; that is the job of the Legislature. These issues will be considered as a plan
develops.
16) What about the criticisms of the role of the Council? These principles don't address any of
that.
True, and many of us do have thoughts on the role of the Council. However, we believe that the
first step is to reform the governance of the Council. Once the Council is accountable to its
metropolitan constituency we can consider the role that it should play in the region's future.
17) You mention a system of voting and checks and balances- can you elaborate?
We purposely made these principles high-level. We do not want to get into the details of a
specific plan; that is the job of the Legislature. However, we do believe that the Council should
represent all citizens in the area, without allowing the large urban core to drive all decision
making.

AGENDA ITEMS 3B & 3C
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson
MEETING DATE: February 22, 2016
TOPIC: Proposed G.O. Financing for HD Capital Equipment
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is being asked to adopt two resolutions regarding the issuance of general
obligations bonds, under the authority granted to North Metro Telecommunications
Commission (NMTC), to finance the acquisition of high definition (HD) video equipment.
BACKGROUND
It has become necessary for North Metro Television (NMTV) to upgrade its video equipment
from either an analog or standard digital format to a high definition (HD) format. NMTV staff
recently prepared an HD equipment replacement analysis and provided recommendations for
upgrading the entire cable facility to the HD format. Attached is a project summary for the
upgrade of HD equipment at NMTV.
Under the terms of the Joint Powers Agreement, the Commission was granted authority to issue
up to $2.5 million in bonds payable solely from franchise fee revenues collected quarterly from
the member cities. The Commission had two options for financing a $2 million capital
equipment upgrade: (1) a Commission -issued revenue bond; or (2) a general obligation bond
issued by one of the member cities. The City of Circle Pines agreed to facilitate the overall
financing using its bonding authority on the condition that it each member city issues their own
capital notes that will be held by Circle Pines in order to reduce the risk. To offset the levy
requirement for each member city, the Commission agreed to budget franchise fee revenues to
repay the debt. By Circle Pines agreeing to issue the debt, the NMTC will save approximately
$278,000 in sales tax and closing costs for the life of the bonds.
Lino Lakes estimated share of the annual debt payments is $37,070. Even though each
individual member city will be responsible for its share of the bond payments, the annual
payments will be covered (or reimbursed) by NMTC. The Commission is able to do this for
two reasons: (1) the television facility no longer carries any debt (an annual savings of
$190,000); and (2) the Commission budgeted about $188,000 annually for capital equipment
replacement.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve Resolution No. 16-10, concurring in the issuance of G.O. bonds, Series 2016A, to
be issued by the City of Circle Pines
2. Approve Resolution No. 16-11, regarding amendment of the amended joint powers
agreement for North Metro Telecommunications Commission to issue bonds and use
franchise fee revenue.

NMTV HD Equipment Upgrade
Project Summary
Current Equipment
North Metro TV has reached the point where several of its aging video systems must be
replaced. The production truck, master control and our two studios are experiencing
multiple, compounding problems that are becoming more difficult and more expensive to
fix, if they can be fixed at all. Complicating the need to replace equipment, is the need to
move from one video format to another. All of NMTV's current electronics are either
analog or standard digital (SD). The video world moved on from those formats years
ago, replacing them with high definition (HD) video. All community television facilities
are facing the same issue, and many of them have either transitioned or are in the process
of doing so.
HD Format
HD is the current video standard. Viewers own HD televisions and subscribe to HD
cable service. They are paying for an HD product and that is what they expect to see.
(73% of Comcast subscribers pay for HD service. 100% of CenturyLink subscribers will
have HD service.)
It has become necessary to replace the major components of several video systems at
North Metro TV. The equipment purchased to replace these components will have to be
of the HD format. This will be a format change for North Metro TV. In order for these
major components to be able to work within a system, the periphery equipment, such as
monitors, audio, routing and wiring, must also be replaced. HD equipment and analog or
SD equipment do not speak the same language. In order to speak the same language, and
work together as a system, all of the equipment needs to be HD. (It is possible to buy
special equipment to up -convert the old analog or standard digital signals to a signal HD
equipment can understand, but this does not result in an HD final product.) Purchasing
special equipment to up -convert signals is an expensive, temporary stop -gap. The most
cost-effective solution is to upgrade the equipment systems at one time.
Replacement Analysis
Understanding the complexity of changing video formats, NMTV staff moved forward
with an HD Equipment Replacement Analysis. Alpha Video was chosen to conduct the
study and to prepare recommendations for upgrading the entire NMTC facility to the HD
format.
After working with Alpha Video, and talking with other vendors, we have formulated a
comprehensive list of replacement systems that would make NMTV a complete HD
facility. The recommendations include upgrades of master control, equipment in the
production truck, the production truck itself, and the two studios.
Equipment
Master Control is the nerve center for all incoming programs from Cities, schools, live
feeds and local servers, and outgoing programs to Comcast and CenturyLink cable
subscribers. It also routes programming to our website live streaming and video -on -
demand servers. All of this is accomplished via our Tightrope hardware/software master
control system. It is responsible for facilitating, routing, streaming, and recording all
incoming and outgoing programming across twelve channels and two cable systems.
All but one of our video servers is failing and out of warranty. This is dangerous, as all
of the programs that play over the North Metro channels are electronic video files which
are stored on the servers. Because the servers must use certain versions of Windows
software, the fact that they are no longer supported also makes the servers vulnerable.
Additional equipment problems include non -repairable monitor failures, lack of storage
capacity for programming, lack of rack -space for certain equipment, time -base corrector
malfunctions, and non-functioning outputs on older servers.
The recommended Master Control upgrade is built around the Tightrope hardware and
software system. The efficiencies inherent in the Tightrope system make it possible for
one person to effectively schedule and manage the programming of all twelve channels,
and video -on -demand selections. Peripheral equipment for master control includes audio
manipulation, monitoring, racking, power, and engineering tools. The recommended
Master Control upgrade will cost approximately $583,000.
The production truck is our primary tool for recording sporting, school, and community
events. Half of the programs, produced by staff, are created with the production truck.
Sports constitute some of our most popular programming, and programs produced with
the truck make up 95% of DVD sales. The majority of equipment in the production truck
is over thirteen years old and at the end of its life. This includes the cameras, lenses,
tripods, audio board, hard drive recording and instant replay/play-back drives, monitors,
and wiring. Many locations where sporting tournaments are held are pre -wired for
production crews. This allows for tapping into a system instead of having to run separate
cables, which most large venues require. It is impossible for us to do this, as they are all
wired for HD, and we are not. The recommended production truck upgrades will cost
approximately $786,000.
Upgrading the two studios at the NMTV facility will complete the HD conversion.
Problems with the existing equipment include routing switchers that are malfunctioning
and no longer supported by the manufacturer, monitors intended for 4x3 video, but
everything we shoot is in 16x9, malfunctioning and obsolete tape decks for recording
programs, which then need to be converted to a digital file - doubling the time it takes to
record a final product, tripod heads not rated for the weight of camera/teleprompter
combinations, and aging cameras experiencing growing color/phasing/white balancing
issues. The recommended upgrades for two studios will cost approximately $605,000.
Finally, the production truck, itself, is experiencing space, mechanical, power, heat,
cooling, security and safety problems. We are including a recommendation to replace the
production truck with a slightly larger model that will meet our future space, safety, and
production needs, as a part of the equipment upgrade proposal. A new integrated
production truck with internal racking and work space, external storage, roof safety rail,
power generator, heating, and double air conditioning units will be approximately
$200,000.
Financing
Upgrading the facility all at once would be most cost effective and result in the best
product. It would also result in a stable equipment line -item during budgeting, instead of
large, yearly variations. (Although annual maintenance purchases of items such as field
cameras, edit computers, microphones, etc. will still require budgeting.)
The Commission recently paid off it's debt for the construction of the NMTV facility.
That annual payment was approximately $190,000. In addition to that capital
expenditure, annual capital expenditures for video equipment have averaged $198,000
over the last five years. Adding that together, the capital budgeting averaged $388,000
over the last five years. The bond payment for the HD equipment loan will be $226,000
annually. This is considerably less than has been paid, for capital expenses, in the past
five years.
By bonding for the upgrade, and spreading the payments across ten years, the annual
capital payment are actually kept quite low. If the equipment systems were to be
upgraded individually we would need to budget well over $226,000, annually, for each
upgrade.
The City of Circle Pines may agree to bond for the equipment purchases, provided the
Member Cities agree to the financing terms. Bonding through Circle Pines would result
in lower closing costs, a better interest rate, and the ability to purchase the equipment tax
free. This will result in considerable savings for the Commission and Member Cities.
Conclusion
It is the recommendation of the North Metro Telecommunications Commission that the
Member Cities adopt Resolutions amending and restating the Joint Powers Agreement,
and setting the terms for repayment of any equipment bond through the City of Circle
Pines. This will grant permission to the Commission to upgrade it's equipment, via
bonding, to become a fully functional HD facility. Doing so will benefit cable
subscribers in the NMTC area, the Member Cities, and community television producers
through the availability of state -of -the -art production tools, and the high-quality video
programs subscribers expect to receive.

To: Heidi Arnson, North Metro Telecommunications Commission
From: Nick Anhut, Ehlers & Associates
Date: February 9, 2016
Re: Proposed G.O. Financing for Capital Equipment
You have asked us to provide an update on background information, procedure and
considerations regarding the issuance of general obligation bonds by the City of Circle Pines
to purchase $2 million in capital equipment on behalf of the North Metro
Telecommunications Commission (the "Commission").
Background
Under terms of its Joint Powers Agreement ("JPA"), the Commission was granted authority
to issue up to $2 5 million in bonds payable solely from franchise fee revenues collected
quarterly from the members. The bonds were to finance the acquisition and improvements
for the public access and studio facility. The revenue bonds were refinanced for interest
savings in 2012, and then prepaid in full in 2015. The Commission currently has no debt on
its books.
In discussion with Commission staff about the potential costs of financing a $2 million
capital equipment upgrade in 2016, two options were discussed: either a Commission -issued
revenue bond (similar to that used to finance the Commission's facility) or a general
obligation bond issued by one of the member entities. The JPA is silent to additional debt
issuance and either option would require approval from each of the members' governing
bodies.
It is estimated that today's fixed interest rates for a Commission -issued revenue bond would
be 3.00-3.25% for a ten year term. Today's comparable market interest rate estimates for the
proposed Circle Pines issue of bank qualified general obligation bonds are 1.83% for a ten
year term. In total debt service payments, this difference in rates and financing costs equates
to $136,700 less over the ten year term.
Circle Pines Bond Issuance
Under the authority of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 412, a city can issue general obligation
equipment certificates or capital notes to finance capital equipment payable from a property
tax levy. Cities can choose to offset this levy requirement with other available revenue
sources. The debt can be repaid up to the useful life of the asset or 10 years, whichever is
less. A notice is required to be published in the city's newspaper if the total principal amount
financed exceeds 0.25% of its current year assessed market value.
In discussion with the City of Circle Pines and its bond attorney, the City agrees to facilitate
the overall financing and equipment purchase using this bonding authority as long as it
1 800-552-1171 I www.ehlers-inc.com
leEHLERS
LEADERS IN PUBLIC FINANCE
receives the individual pledges of each of the members of the Commission. In essence,
Circle Pines is asking each of the member cities to issue their own capital notes that will be
held by Circle Pines in order to reduce its risk. Proceeds of the bond issue would be used by
the Circle Pines to pay for the costs of the equipment and financing. To offset the levy
requirement for each of the member cities, the Commission would agree to budget annually
to provide fee revenues to repay the debt.
Each member city's capital notes and G.O. pledge would support a principal amount and
annual payment of the debt allocated using the most recent system revenue shares of the
Commission (2015). Each member city's capital notes would be issued to Circle Pines and
certified with its county for tax levy purposes, however Circle Pines would serve as the sole
issuer and obligated party for the debt's reporting and administrative purposes.
Using the most recent valuations, each member city's share is well below the 0.25% of
market value threshold for purposes of publishing a public notice of the debt. However, the
total principal amount would exceed the Circle Pines' 0.25% threshold and would require it
to publish notice of its resolution determining to issue the debt. The Bonds cannot be issued
until after a ten day period after the publication to allow for a petition asking to put the matter
to referendum. Any such petition must be signed by voters equal to 10% of the vote cast at
the last municipal election.
The Commission has already included funding within its capital budget for 2016 to provide
funds to make the first year's debt payments. From a risk standpoint, the projected annual
debt payments equates to 19.5% of the overall fee revenues collected in 2015. Even with the
payments factored into the 2016 budget, the Commission plans to remit $320,000, or 1.4
times the expected annual debt payment, in franchise fees back to the members after all
capital and operating costs.
Using the most recent member share information, the table below shows each members share
of the estimated debt principal and annual payments.

Other Considerations
Legal and federal debt limits. Even though the member cities of the Commission will
utilize franchise fee revenues to offset any levy requirement, each city's capital notes will
count toward their legal debt limit.
Another limitation to consider is the $10 million threshold a city must stay under annually in
order to designate its bonds as bank qualified debt. It is the request of the Commission that
the City of Circle Pines allocate the full amount of the debt against this amount. Circle Pines
will not require each member city to designate their capital notes for purposes of their own
$10 million thresholds.
Call Feature. For a 10 year Bond issue, the market is typically comfortable with a 7-8 year
call feature whereupon the Bonds are able to be prepaid without penalty. It is expected that
the financing will carry a call date of February 1, 2024. Each member city's capital notes
may be defeased ahead of this call date.
Timing. Upon authorization by the member cities, the City of Circle Pines plans to include
the equipment financing within its 2016A Bonds set to issue in late March. It is expected the
City's financing will close in mid to late April.
The debt service estimates for City -issued General Obligation bonds to finance $2 million
capital equipment project and associated financing costs are attached. It is expected
financing costs may be reduced due to favorable terms at the time of Circle Pines' bond sale.
Any such savings will be reflected in a reduced principal amount and carried forward in the
fmancing terms of each member city's capital notes.
We look forward to further discussions on these issues.

Commission for that calendar year (the "Debt Service Share"); and (2) each member shall
be responsible for its share of the operating and capital costs of the Commission (not
including any part of the debt service on the Commission's Bonds), which share shall be
in direct proportion to the percent of annual subscriber revenues of each Member to the
total annual revenues of the system multiplied by the Commission's annual budget (the

Service Share, the deficiency will continue to be an obligation of the Member and will be
deducted from the next payment or payments of the Member's franchise fees until the
deficiency has been restored. After provision is made for payment of the Debt Service
Share, the remaining franchise fees shall be applied as a credit against each Member's
Operating Cost Share owed the Commission, with any excess being remitted to the
Member by the Commission and any shortfall being payable to the Commission by the
Member. The remainder of any franchise fee remitted back to the Member by the

Director under the direction of the Operations Committee and submitted to the
Commission on or before July 1 of each year. The Commission shall submit the
proposed budget to the Members on or before August 1 of each year. Such budget shall
be deemed approved by a Member unless, prior to October 15 preceding the effective
date of the proposed budget, the Member gives notice in writing to the Commission that
it is withdrawing from the Commission, subject to Article XII, Section 2 of this
agreement. Final action adopting a budget for the ensuing calendar year shall be taken by
the Commission on or before November 1 of each year.
Section 6. Any Member may inspect and copy the Commission books and records at any
and all reasonable times. All books and records shall be kept in accordance with normal
and accepted accounting procedures and principles used by Minnesota Statutory Cities.
XI. DURATION
Section 1. The Commission shall continue for an indefinite term unless the number of
Members becomes less than five, and the Commission may also be terminated by mutual
agreement of all of the Members at any time; provided that the Commission shall
continue to exist as long as any Bonds described in Article VIII, Section 13 of this
agreement remain outstanding.
Section 2. In order to prevent obligation for its Operating Cost Share for the ensuing
calendar year, a Member must withdraw from the Commission by filing a written notice
with the Secretary by October 15 of any year giving notice of withdrawal effective at the
end of the calendar year; and membership shall continue until the effective date of the
withdrawal. A notice of withdrawal may be rescinded by a Member at any time prior to
the effective date of withdrawal. If a Member withdraws before the dissolution of the
Commission, the Member shall have no claim against the assets of the Commission,
including the right to receive an allocation of franchise fees, except as provided herein.
A Member withdrawing after October 15 shall be obligated to pay its entire Operating
Cost Share (including any shortfalls) for the ensuing year as outlined in the budget of the
Commission for the ensuing year. A withdrawn Member will continue to be responsible
for its Debt Service Share (payable only from the withdrawn Member's franchise fees)
notwithstanding its withdrawal from the Commission, and shall continue to have its
franchise fees paid directly to the Commission until all Bonds have been paid. Any
excess of the withdrawn Member's franchise fees over the withdrawn Member's Debt
Service Share (and any required Operating Cost Share, if the Member gave notice of
Formatted: Superscript
withdrawal after October 15 of the preceding calendar year) shall be remitted by the
Commission to the withdrawn Member. A Member that has withdrawn from the
Commission may, if no Bonds are outstanding, upon request, recover an amount of any
equity that exists, as of the withdrawal date, in real property and buildings purchased or
constructed with any Bonds, up to (but not exceeding) the Member's individual
percentage of total franchise fees paid to all the Members (or their designee) and the
withdrawn Member for the calendar year preceding withdrawal. The Commission may,
if no Bonds are outstanding, at any time after the withdrawal of a Member as provided
for herein, initiate a buy-out of the proportionate equity interest of the withdrawn
Member, which interest is to be the withdrawn Member's individual percentage of total
franchise fees paid to the Members (or their designee) and the withdrawn Member for the
calendar year preceding the buy-out, pursuant to terms and conditions agreed upon by the
parties. The amount of any equity distributed to a withdrawn Member will be paid,
without interest, on a payment schedule established by the Commission, provided,
however, the term of such payment schedule shall not exceed five (5) years. When
calculating an equity repayment schedule, the Commission may deduct the withdrawn
Member's proportionate share of outstanding indebtedness from the amount of any equity
due to the withdrawn Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a withdrawing
Member shall have no claim to the franchise fee the Grantee collected on its behalf for
the year in which its withdrawal is effective, except for the reimbursement of cable -
related expenses for that year. If no Bonds are outstanding, for the calendar year
following withdrawal, and for all subsequent years, the entire franchise fee calculated
upon gross revenues attributable to the system within the withdrawn Member shall be
paid by Grantee to the withdrawn Member in accordance with the Franchise.
Section 3. In the event of dissolution, the Commission shall determine the measures
necessary to affect the dissolution and shall provide for the taking of such measures as
promptly as circumstances permit, subject to the provisions of this agreement. Upon
dissolution of the Commission all remaining assets of the Commission, after payment of
obligations, shall be distributed among the then existing Members in proportion to the
most recent Member by Member breakdown of the franchise fee as reported by the
Grantee. The Commission shall continue to exist after dissolution for such period, no
longer than six months, as is necessary to wind up its affairs but for no other purpose.
