MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 27, 1997
TO: Mike Mornson, City Manager
FROM: Roger Larson, Finance Director
ITEM: 1997 WATER/SEWER RATES
The Public Works Director has submitted a 1997 water budget of $369,950 and a sewer budget
of $675,500.
Based on the approval of those budgets, I have completed an analysis to determine if a rate
increase is necessary to balance these operating budgets. The results are as follows:
Water:
In 1997, it is anticipated that St. Anthony will sell 41,000,000 cubic feet of water. Calculating
the estimated 1997 water revenue (41,000,000 X $.90 divided by 100) shows a total income of
$369,000.
Expenditures of $369,950 plus the water filtration levy transfer of $15,200 requires revenues to
total $385,150. Based on the fact that estimated water sales of $369,000, a deficit of ($16,150)
exists and a moderate increase is necessary to balance the water operating budget.
Recommendation:
The present rate of $.90 per 100 cubic feet is not sufficient to balance the 1997 water
operating budget. Projected expenditures exceed revenues by ($16,150), therefore, a rate
increase of $ .04 cents per 100cf is necessary to fund the 1997 water operating budget.
(41,000,000 X .94 divided by 100 = $ 385,400)
Sewer:
Currently, sanitary sewer disposal costs the residents $1.65 per 100 cubic feet. Based on Metro
Waste's estimate of flowage, disposal for '97 is approximately 40,000,000 cubic feet.
Using the current sewer rate when calculating the estimated '97 sewer revenue (40,000,000 X
$1.65 divided by 100) shows a projected income of $660,000. This produces a deficit and
indicates a rate increase is necessary to offset the 1997 sewer operating budget.
z
In 1988, the City Council passed ordinance 1988 -004 relating to sewer rates and charges. It
states that all sewer charges shall be at the rate of $1.20 per hundred cubic feet of water used
plus a Metro Waste surcharge as determined by the following formula:
Metro Waste Rate Surcharge Formula
X = .88Y -$.88
$315,000
X = Surcharge per 100 cubic feet
Y = Metro Waste charges for calendar year ($448,148 in '97)
Using this formula, the charge for sanitary waste disposal in 1997 is $1.58 per 100 cubic feet.
This would produce a projected sewer revenue of $632,000. With expenditures of $675,500,
a deficit of ($43,500) exists.
What this points out, is that the current formula is inadequate to produce revenues needed to
balance the 1997 operating budget. The formula works fine when there is an increase in Metro
Wastes charges, but, when sewer disposal costs decrease and inflationary increases occur in
other portions of the sewer budget (salary & benefits) the formula is inadequate and needs
revision.
To balance the 1997 operating budget, the sewer rate needs to be $1.72 per hundred cubic feet
commencing the first quarter in 1997.
Recommendation:
The formula be change to included inflationary increases to the annual operating budget
other than Metro Waste's charges. I discussed this issue with the City Auditor and we are
recommending the ordinance be changed to:
Metro Waste Rate Surcharge Formula
X = .88Y -$.88 + Z
$315,000
X = Surcharge per 100 cubic feet
Y = Metro waste charges for calendar year
Z = Inflationary adjustment for operating budget
By making this change the sewer rate for 1997 would be established at $1.72 per 100 cubic
feet and balance the 1997 sewer budget. In addition, the revision corrects the formula for
future years.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 26, 1996
TO: Mike Morrison, City Manager
FROM: Roger Larson, Finance Director
ITEM: LIQUOR STORE/LEASE VS PURCHASE ANALYSIS
Attached is an analysis of the current proposals for the new SAV II liquor store. The following
is a recap of the average cost per square foot of the three options:
1) Lease Proposal $ 9.66
2) Purchase of Tires Plus building $ 9.48
3) Purchase of Muffler Shop $11.79
From a cost per square foot standpoint, the lease proposal and the purchase of the Tires Plus
building are relatively equal. However, ownership of the premises has advantages over a
lease /rent agreement (the value of property can significantly increase during ownership).
If St. Anthony were to purchase, the numbers indicate that the Tires Plus option is the most
favorable. The initial cash outlay of $570,000.00 (plus interest) can be recouped over the life
of the lease. In addition, rent proceeds exceed debt service payments by $185,331. This excess
revenue could be used to upgrade the current structure to insure increased value of the property.
Comparing lease and ownership arrangements:
1) Lease /Rent arrangement
A. Advantage is that the liquor operation avoids debt service payments,
interest charges, reserve funding requirements and issuance costs
associated with the issuance of $765,000.00 liquor revenue bonds.
B. Disadvantages are: 1) At the end of the lease you have no
equity and; 2) Retail leases often limit the tenants ability
expand, make site improvements or terminate the lease.
2) Ownership arrangement
A. Advantages include: 1) When the debt is retired, there is
equity or value in the property; 2) Ownership allows more
flexibility to make changes, expand or sell the existing site,
without third party approval.
M
B. Disadvantages of ownership are: 1) Cost of building improvements;
2) Upkeep of the premises may be significant and; 3) The City assumes
debt by issuing liquor revenue bonds which we do not with a lease.
From a numbers perspective, the Muffler Shop is the least attractive of the two options to
purchase. The cost per square foot is higher and the cash outlay is $20,000.00 more than the
$275,000.00 lease proposal because of legal and purchase costs associated with ownership. In
addition, the purchase of this property removes it from the tax roles (with the Tires Plus option,
the portion leased remains on the tax roles).
The H.R.A. could fund the purchase of either the Tires Plus or Muffler Shop buildings by using
the a portion of the H.R.A. Projects fund balance. Currently, the cash on hand is approximately
$800,000.00.
There is no advantage of internally funding the building of a new liquor store (cost for bonding
or internal funding is approximately $1.2 million). Also, because of the volatility associated
with the liquor industry, internal funding could have a negative impact on St. Anthony's bond
rating if profits for the liquor operation did not meet expectations.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 27, 1997
TO: Mike Morrison, City Manager
FROM: Roger Larson, Finance Director
ITEM: REVIEW OF EARLY RETIREMENT
In years 1991, 1992 and 1993, the State of Minnesota authorized Cities to offer an early
retirement incentive to public employees who were age 55 and had completed 25 years of
service. Each City had the option of approving an increase in the PERA formula by 1/4% or
paying single health insurance coverage premiums (until age 65) as an encouragement to retire
early.
For years '91 and '92 Council approved the single health insurance premium option as an early
retirement incentive and chose not to participate the third and final year.
The basic concept of the early retirement incentive was to allow employees who wished to retire
early an opportunity to do so and at the same time save money for the participating Cities'. The
savings is realized because employees who are near or close to retirement are at the top of their
wage scale. Because the new employee starts out considerably less, a savings results (see
attached example).
In preparing these analysis', it becomes apparent that the results can vary depending upon the
length of time the City is obligated to pay health insurance premiums. Upon testing several
different employees, the follow appears to be evident:
1) Age 55 - Ten years of health insurance premiums results in no benefit
to the City.
2) Age 60 - Five years of health insurance premiums results in a break
even situation for the City.
3) Age 62 - Three years of health insurance premiums results in a savings
to the City and is a cost effective method of reducing
expenditures.
PERA has advised me the incentive package_ will not be offered in 1997 and that it is highly
likely this program will never be offered again. However, St. Anthony can formulate its own
policy without violating any PERA or State requirements.
IG
Recently, there has been some discussion if St. Anthony should establish a similar policy as what
was offered by the State Legislature. My analysis shows there is benefit to the City if health
insurance premiums are paid for three years.
My first thought was to formulate a policy for employees who are 62 years of age and completed
25 years an opportunity to participate in an early retirement incentive program. However, to
more closely model the policy to past practices, it is my recommendation to offer payment of
single health insurance premiums for a maximum of three years as an early retirement incentive
to employees who are 55 years of age and completed 25 years of public service.
Early Retirement Concept:
(Age 62 + 25 years of service)
