PUBLIC HEARINGS. 45 46 A. Ordinance 2017-03; an Ordinance Setting Sewer, Water and Storm Water charges for 47 2018. 48 49 9 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 14, 2017 Page 2 Mayor Faust opened the public hearing at 7:05 p.m. 1 2 Finance Director Shelly Rueckert reviewed the utility rates recommended for 2018. These rates 3 build on the multi-year approach towards rate adjustments that began in 2012. Ms. Rueckert 4 reviewed the Water Fund expenditures are comprised of two primary operating functions 5 Production $609,693 and Distribution $604,585. The current recommendation includes 6 continuing the phase-in of the quarterly fee to support distribution system costs and quarterly 7 water distribution will increase by $3.35. The recommendation also includes continuing to 8 manage the growth in usage rates to recognize revenues provided by the phase in of the Water 9 distribution fee and the water usage tier rates will decrease by 1%. The water rate structure 10 provides for aligning revenue sources with corresponding costs, provides greater transparency as 11 to the basis of rates and rate adjustments, increases ability to maintain a structural balanced 12 operation as revenue generated would not be entirely subjected to volatility in water usage (dry 13 vs. wet summers) and promotes conservation via tiered usage rates. Ms. Rueckert provided the 14 recommended 2018 water rates. 15 16 Ms. Rueckert explained how residents can use the City website to monitor their water usage. 17 18 Ms. Rueckert reviewed the Sewer Fund expenditures are comprised of two primary operating 19 functions Treatment $757,720 and Collection $457,496. The current recommendation includes 20 continuing the phase-in of the quarterly fee to support collection system costs and quarterly 21 sewer collection fee increase by $3.20. The current recommendation includes continuing to 22 manage the growth in usage rates to recognize the revenues provided by the phase in of the 23 Sewer collection fee and the sewer usage rate increase by 1.5%. The rate structure modifications 24 provide for aligning revenue sources with corresponding costs, providing greater transparency as 25 to the basis of rates and rate adjustments, increasing the ability to maintain a structural balanced 26 operation as revenue generated would not be entirely subjected to volatility in the Metropolitan 27 Council Environmental Services rates for wastewater treatment and variances in annual flows 28 (dry vs. wet summers). Ms. Rueckert provided the recommended 2018 sewer rates. The impact 29 of the recommended rates on a residential customer at each tier were provided. 30 31 The multi-year approach for Storm water rates planned for the quarterly single family residential 32 charge in increase by thirty-five cents in 2018 represents a 2.32% increase in rate and the 2.32% 33 rate increase will be applied to all levels of storm water charges. 34 35 Councilmember Stille rephrased the two-tier rate structure citing the more you use the more that 36 is paid. 37 38 Councilmember Jenson asked if the template is active currently on line for water usage. Ms. 39 Rueckert stated it is and if residents need assistance they can contact City Hall. 40 41 Mayor Faust summarized that residents are paying for what they are using. 42 43 Mayor Faust closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m. 44 45 10 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 14, 2017 Page 3 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to approve First Reading 1 of Ordinance No. 2017-03 an Ordinance Amending Sections §33.018 Sewer Charges to Owners; 2 §33.036 Water Charges to Owners and §33.090 Charges for Storm Water Facilities. 3 4 Motion carried 4-0. 5 6 V. REPORTS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF. 7 8 A. Resolution 17-075; a Resolution approving a Conditional Use permit to allow an Adult 9 Day-Care Center located at 2400 37th Avenue NE. 10 11 Planning Commissioner Mark Kalar reviewed the Conditional Use Permit. Applicant (Isse 12 Hussein) is requesting a Conditional Use Permit at 2400 37th Avenue NE (Owner – Sadiq 13 Punjani). The existing land use/zoning is Commercial/Zoned C-Commercial. He reviewed the 14 surrounding land use/zoning. The request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow an adult-15 care center is consistent with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the City’s Comprehensive 16 Plan. Staff recommends approval of the Applicant’s request and adoption of a resolution 17 declaring terms of the same. 18 19 The Applicant wishes to convert an existing gas station into an adult day care center. The 20 applicant’s summary of the use indicates that it will primarily be a place for supervised 21 congregation of senior citizens, providing an environment where they can socialize with other 22 seniors in the community. The intent is to transport the seniors to and from the site and any food 23 provided would be catered in. Parking is provided for the employees and staff. The Applicant has 24 indicated the facility will operate mostly for approximately six hours a day during daytime hours 25 (with some exceptions). 26 27 The CUP Criteria was reviewed and noted the criteria was met. Staff recommends approval of 28 the application, subject to the following conditions: 29 -The Applicant shall submit the appropriate plans and permits for review and approval (including 30 state permitting) before beginning any construction or other alterations that requires a permit (i.e. 31 building permit for any interior work, sign permit, electrical permit, plumbing permit, etc.). 32 33 -Applicant receives a revised SAC determination, per the Met Council. 34 35 Mayor Faust stated he understands the MN Department of Health issues the license and they are 36 the one to ensure everything is being done to State Statute. 37 38 The Applicant and Owner were present and they did not wish to speak. 39 40 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution 41 17-075; a Resolution approving a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow an adult day-care 42 center, licensed under M.S. Chapter 245A, and Minn. Rules One on the property located at 2400 43 37th Avenue NE with two conditions. 44 45 11 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 14, 2017 Page 4 Councilmember Gray noted this is a great service being provided to the community and will be a 1 great addition. 2 3 Mayor Faust welcomed the Applicant into the community. 4 5 Councilmember Stille stated they are making good use of a difficult site and thanked them for 6 taking care of the property. 7 8 Motion carried 4-0. 9 10 VI. GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL. 11 12 A. Ordinance 2017-04; an Ordinance Amending Chapter 96 Right of Way Management. 13 14 City Manager Casey reviewed the recent legislative action that has brought to attention the need 15 for cities to update their right-of-way ordinances to accommodate the installation of small 16 wireless facilities within the public right-of-way. The League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) has 17 provided guidance in updating local ordinances in order to better regulate private development in 18 the public realm, as well as to insure appropriate safeguards are in place to manage this 19 development. 20 21 Mr. Casey provided an edited version of Chapter 96: Right-of-Way Management, that 22 incorporates the recommended changes provided by the LMC. The existing ordinance does not 23 differ significantly from the model ordinance provided by the LMC, with the exception of the 24 language specific to small wireless facilities. A memorandum from Kennedy & Graven 25 regarding the implications of the recent legislative action regarding regulation of small local 26 wireless facilities, as well as the updated model right-of-way ordinance, was provided for 27 Council review. As part of this amended ordinance, the City should examine the right-of-way 28 fees charged and include a statutory set fee for small wireless facilities. Staff recommends the 29 City Council review the proposed changes and direct staff to initiate a text amendment to update 30 Chapter 96 to conform with the ordinance language provided by the League of Minnesota Cities, 31 32 Councilmember Stille asked if this is going to affect the large cell towers and the revenue for that 33 and Mr. Casey stated he does not know. The large cell tower contracts with the City are locked in 34 and all indications point there will be both large cell towers and small cells. 35 36 Councilmember Jenson asked if any input has been received from the organization that wants to 37 install these as to which streets they may be using. Mr. Casey stated not yet and there are no 38 indications of when, what amount, or where. 39 40 Councilmember Gray confirmed the legislation leaves little room for the City not to accept this. 41 Mr. Casey stated there is no denying these requests but the City can regulate them. 42 43 Mayor Faust stated this was a big issue in the Legislature this year and he understands it is a 44 national issue in terms of going to 5G more capacity. Mayor Faust has heard the LMC 45 suggestion is stricter than other States. Mr. Casey agreed. 46 12 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 14, 2017 Page 5 1 Motion by Councilmember Jenson, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to approve First Reading 2 of Ordinance No. 2017-04; an Ordinance Amending Multiple Sections in Chapter 96 Right-of-3 Way Management. 4 5 Motion Carried 4-0. 6 7 B. Resolution 17-076; a Resolution of the Canvass of the 2017 General Municipal Election. 8 9 Mr. Casey requested the Council approve the Canvassing Board Resolution. Councilmember 10 Randy Stille and Councilmember Jan Jenson received the greatest number of votes in the 11 November 7, 2017 general election. There will be a recount done this Friday and if there are 12 changes, the Council will be presented with a new resolution of the Canvass. 13 14 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution 15 17-076; Canvassing Board Resolution. 16 17 Councilmember Gray congratulated two of the finest people he knows and stated he looks 18 forward to continuing to work with them on the Council. 19 20 Motion Carried 4-0. 21 22 VII. REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. 23 24 City Manager Casey reported the entire Police Department participated in a November 6-9 25 Procedural Justice Training. This was paid for by the DOJ and more information is available 26 from the Police Chief on the training. Mr. Casey also noted there will be an Open House 27 regarding the re-development of Lowry Grove two weeks from this evening (November 27). It 28 will be held at 6 p.m. at the High School Commons. A presentation will be held at 7 p.m. The 29 Continental Group is hosting and will make the presentation. Councilmember Stille clarified this 30 is not an application to the City. The developer wants to get feedback from the community. 31 32 Councilmember Gray had no report. 33 34 Councilmember Jenson had no report. 35 36 Councilmember Stille stated on October 30, there was a Joint Meeting with the School Board 37 followed by a Work Session which focused on the Liquor Department. He read a statement “A 38 Community Service” that was presented at the Work Session. On November 3, he had lunch with 39 the Salo Finland delegation. On November 5, a concert was held. 40 41 Mayor Faust stated on October 15, he attended the Candidates Forum and heard all six 42 candidates. He attended the October 30 Meeting with the School Board and the Work Session. 43 He was impressed with the Mission Statement presented. On November 1, Mayor Faust and City 44 Manager Casey met with the Hennepin County Assessor. The referendum is included on the tax 45 statements. A tour was given to the Salo visitors on November 3. He also attended the concert 46 13 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 14, 2017 Page 6 and noted the St. Anthony Civic Orchestra is a jewel. He stated there will be a Christmas concert 1 and a spring concert held. On November 14, Mayor Faust attended the Mississippi Water 2 Management Organization meeting and reported there is no increase. 3 4 VIII. COMMUNITY FORUM. 5 6 Ms. Cynthia Sowden, Northeaster Newspaper, 2844 Johnson Street NE, asked when the Council 7 vacancy will be filled and how. 8 9 Ms. Maret Olson, 3312 Edward Street NE, stated she is concerned with the vacancy and about 10 the diversity on the Council. She would like to see an election rather than an appointment. If 11 there is to be an appointment, she would like to see the candidate who came in third receive the 12 appointment. She does not remember a contested election in the past. There were two candidates 13 that made great efforts and came very close to winning the election. She reviewed what a City 14 needs to do. She stated she has seen the Council fail on zoning and policing issues, noting the 15 City has been sued multiple times by the Justice Department for Civil Rights Violation. She 16 believed the Council needs to be diversified as she no longer trusts the City Council to act the 17 way she would if she were on Council. 18 19 Mr. Jedd Larson, 2800 31st Avenue NE, read a prepared statement. He noted he is also on the 20 Planning Commission and asked if the Adult Day Care is an appropriate use of the property at 21 37th and Stinson. He noted questions were raised regarding the knowledge and fitness of the 22 Applicant to operate an Adult Day Care Center and apologized to the Applicant on behalf of 23 himself for not doing his part to redirect the conversation at the Planning Commission Meeting. 24 25 Ms. Erin Redlin, 3012 Armor Terrace, urged the City Council to appoint Nancy Robinett to the 26 open seat on the City Council. Since Nancy received only 18 votes fewer than Councilmember 27 Jenson, she believed the Council would be taking into account the resident’s desires. 28 29 Ms. Kathleen Lohmar, 3113 Armor Terrace, asked Council to be open and transparent with the 30 procedure and process to fill the open Council seat. She would like Nancy Robinett to be 31 appointed to the open seat. She stated she was glad when Jedd Larson was appointed to the open 32 seat on the Planning Commission earlier this year and had expected to see a more open process 33 for that opening. She asked the City to help residents of Lowry Grove with a monetary 34 settlement. Ms. Lohmar stated one resident is entering his mobile home through an open window 35 on a step ladder and another resident with a small child is still living in an Extended Stay Motel. 36 She heard the street project contractors are being fined $1,000 a day for late completion and 37 stated since those are dollars not planned to come to the City, she hopes those monies could be 38 re-directed to the Lowry Grove residents. 39 40 Mayor Faust stated on September 12, the City Manager provided the options for the open seat on 41 City Council. Council has not discussed this. He reviewed the two options are either appointment 42 or to hold a special election on April 10, 2018. Mayor Faust asked Councilmembers to state how 43 they would prefer to see this handled. 44 45 14 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 14, 2017 Page 7 Councilmember Gray stated he has been on the Council for 13 years and every Commission/ 1 Council seat has been an open application process with interviews conducted. He would be in 2 favor of an appointment. 3 4 Mayor Faust stated the application for the Planning Commission is on the website and there has 5 always been an application process. 6 7 Councilmember Stille stated there was a special election for Mayor in December 2004. For the 8 two Council positions, applications were gathered, they were interviewed, and appointments 9 were made. He stated the Council appoints the best candidate who will serve the community the 10 best. He would like to move towards an appointment rather than an election and stated had 11 Bonnie Brever’s resignation been 30 days earlier, there would have been three seats open on the 12 ballot. 13 14 Councilmember Jenson stated he is in favor of an appointment process. He noted 10 candidates 15 were interviewed when Bonnie Brever was appointed so it was a good, transparent, open, and 16 fair process. 17 18 Mayor Faust stated appointment is the right way to do this and requested the City Manager put 19 something out via the website by Friday. City Manager suggested the appointment be done at the 20 December 12 City Council Meeting.

The priority of St. Anthony is to continue to have the yard waste sites available for both Ramsey and Hennepin County residents. In 2018 Ramsey County will have a new Master Plan strategies and will be reviewing SCORE funding to cities. We will work with Ramsey County to develop a new JPA for 2019-2023 that accommodates the new Master Plan strategies and allows for all residents to use the yard waste sites.

The third and final reading will be on December 12, 2017. Following the adoption of the ordinance, the ordinance goes into effect upon publication in the St. Anthony Bulletin which is the official newspaper for the City of St. Anthony. 57 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK 58 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MARK CASEY, CITY MANAGER FROM: SHELLY RUECKERT, FINANCE DIRECTOR SUBJECT: 2018 UTILITY RATES DATE: NOVEMEBER 7, 2017 The utility rates recommended herein for 2018 builds on the multi-year approach towards rate adjustments that began in 2012. Water Rates: As part of the 2017 rate review the water expenditures were categorized by two primary functions. These functions are the production of potable water and the distribution of the potable water. Production costs are considered to be substantially driven by water usage while distribution costs are relatively fixed in nature. Therefore a flat fee was initiated in 2017 to begin funding the costs fixed in nature. This allows for the usage rate to be re-set to cover the usage driven expenses. The transition from a singular rate to a dual rate model was planned to be phased in over time. The table below summarizes the 2018 budgeted water expenses assigned as either production costs (usage driven) or distribution costs (fixed).   OPERATING   DEPRECIATION  OVERALL  FIXED          440,602   47%                          163,984   60%        604,585   50%  USAGE          498,272   53%                          111,421   40%        609,693   50%           938,874   100%                         275,404   100%     1,214,278   100%  The 2017 estimated actual ratio of fixed costs to usage costs is 49% to 51%. As part of the transition process the usage rate growth was expected to decelerate as flat fee was phased-in. The 2017 rate review projected this phasing in of flat fees and its impact to usage fees for 2018 and 2019. The projections assumed similar levels of water consumption and the additional costs of operating the AOP process. Based on estimated actual results for 2017 and updated 2018 budgeted costs the rates being proposed are consistent with the rates previously modeled for 2018. 59 The recommended 2018 water rates are below:   2017  2018    Per 1000 gallons  Rates  Rates   $ Increase  Water Tier I 3.10  3.07  ‐0.03  Water Tier II 3.27  3.24  ‐0.03  Water Tier III 3.59  3.55  ‐0.04  Water Tier IV 4.12  4.08  ‐0.04  Water Tier V 5.17  5.12  ‐0.05  Irrigation  4.12  4.08  ‐0.04  Quarterly flat fee  3.35  6.70  3.35  The above rates are expected to produce $1,044,403 in revenues assuming water consumption similar to 2017. At this level of revenues the operating income before depreciation is budgeted to be $109,450. While this is a 1% decrease in usage rates the effective rate increases due to the increased quarterly flat fee. The recommendation’s impact on 2018 Water bills are reflected below: Lastly, the water rates were compared to the 2017 survey of Metro area city’s water rates. The first table below reflects the 2017 the overall average billing by tiers and by the three commonly used rate combinations. The second table presents similar data for 2018 assuming a 4% increase in usage rates and flat/minimum charges. The SAV billings in each table below are the existing 2017 rates and the proposed 2018 rates. 2018 Tier Rates 3.07                 3.07                 3.24                 3.55                 4.08                 5.12                  2018 Usage levels 4,600               7,500               15,000            22,500            30,000            37,500             Flat Fee 6.70                 6.70                 6.70                 6.70                 6.70                 6.70                  Usage Charge 14.12               23.02               47.30               73.95               104.54            142.93             2018 Proposed Billing 20.82               29.72               54.00               80.65               111.24            149.63             2017 Actual Billed 17.61               26.60               51.13               78.05               108.95            147.73             DIFFERENCE 3.21                 3.12                 2.87                 2.60                 2.29                 1.91                  Min/Flat - Tiers M/F 7,500 15,000 22,500 30,000 37,500 2017 Overall Average 19.22$ 39.40$ 60.03$ 83.40$ 107.71$ 134.34$ SAV 2017 rate 3.35$ 26.60$ 51.13$ 78.05$ 108.95$ 147.73$ Usage only (1 City) -$ 21.38$ 42.75$ 65.93$ 90.30$ 114.68$ Flat fee + usage (61 Cities) 18.26$ 41.47$ 63.07$ 86.56$ 111.06$ 138.18$ Min + usage (12 Cities) 22.57$ 30.37$ 46.07$ 68.81$ 92.10$ 116.46$ 60 Sewer Rates: Again as part of the 2017 rate review the sewer expenditures were categorized by two primary functions. These functions are the treatment of sanitary sewer flow and the collection system for sanitary sewer flow. Treatment costs are considered to be substantially driven by flow volumes while collection costs are relatively fixed in nature. Therefore a flat fee was initiated in 2017 to begin funding the costs fixed in nature. This allows for the usage rate to be re-set to cover the usage driven expenses. The transition from a singular rate to a dual rate model was planned to be phased in over time. The table below summarizes the amounts of sewer operating expense and depreciation expense assigned as treatment costs or collection costs.  OPERATING  DEPRECIATION  OVERALL  FIXED               390,042   35%            67,453   70%               457,496   38%  USAGE               728,812   65%            28,909   30%               757,720   62%            1,118,854   100%             96,362   100%           1,215,216   100%  The 2017 overall ratio of fixed costs to usage costs was 40% to 60%. As part of the transition process the usage rate growth was expected to decelerate as flat fee was phased-in. The 2017 rate review projected this phasing in of flat fees and its impact to usage fees for 2018 and 2019. The projections assumed similar flow levels and a 5.5% increase in Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) treatment fees. For 2018 the MCES cost includes a 3.7% rate increase coupled with an increased flow level of 13%. MCES treatment costs are the main component of the usage costs. The 2017 fixed costs were projected at a 4% increase are expected to finish close to that amount. Based on estimated actual results for 2017 and updated 2018 budgeted costs the proposed increase in the flat rate is consistent with the rate modeled previously. The proposed usage rate will increase 1.5% (vs the 0.9% decrease modeled previously). The Min/Flat - Tiers M/F 7,500 15,000 22,500 30,000 37,500 2018 projected at 4% annual increase 19.99$ 40.58$ 61.84$ 85.90$ 110.94$ 138.37$ SAV 2018 proposed 6.70$ 29.72$ 54.00$ 80.65$ 111.24$ 149.63$ Usage only (1 City) -$ 23.12$ 46.24$ 71.30$ 97.67$ 124.03$ Flat fee + usage (61 Cities) 19.75$ 44.85$ 68.21$ 93.62$ 120.12$ 149.46$ Min + usage (12 Cities) 24.41$ 32.85$ 49.83$ 74.42$ 99.61$ 125.96$ 61 rate increase is in order to match the above average increase treatment costs expected for 2018. The recommended 2018 Sewer rates are below: The above rates are expected to produce $1,175,081 in revenues in 2018. At this level of revenues the operating income before depreciation is budgeted to be $56, 777. The recommendation’s impact on 2018 billings is reflected below: The above rates were compared to the 2017 survey of Metro area city’s water rates. The tables below summarize the overall 2017 findings and the estimated 2018 rates based on a 4% increase in annual rates. The SAV billing in the tables below are based on existing 2017 rates and proposed 2018 rates. 2017 2018 Per 1000 gallons Rates Rates  $ Increase Sewer Treatment rate 4.62 4.69 0.07 Quarterly flat fee 3.20 6.40 3.20 2018 Usage Rate 4.69                  4.69                 4.69                 4.69                 4.69                 4.69                  2018 Usage levels 4,600               7,500               15,000            22,500            30,000            37,500             Flat Fee 6.40                 6.40                 6.40                 6.40                 6.40                 6.40                  Usage Charge 21.57               35.18               70.35               105.53            140.70            175.88             2018 Proposed Billing 27.97               41.58               76.75               111.93            147.10            182.28             2017 Actual Billed 24.45               37.85               72.50               107.15            141.80            176.65             DIFFERENCE 3.52                 3.73                 4.25                 4.78                 5.30                 5.63                  Min/Flat - Tiers M/F 7,500 15,000 22,500 30,000 37,500 2017 Overall Average 40.35 58.18 79.75 105.42 131.43 157.41 SAV Actual 3.20 37.85 72.50 107.15 141.80 176.65 Flat fee only 74.89 74.89 74.89 74.89 74.89 74.89 Flat fee + usage 25.77 54.91 83.59 112.88 141.85 171.39 Min + usage 39.99 53.89 71.87 101.91 133.69 164.34 Min/Flat - Tiers M/F 7,500 15,000 22,500 30,000 37,500 2018 projected at 4% annual increase 41.96 60.51 82.94 109.64 136.69 163.71 SAV Proposed 6.40 41.58 76.75 111.93 147.10 182.28 Flat fee only 77.88 77.88 77.88 77.88 77.88 77.88 Flat fee + usage 26.80 57.11 86.94 117.40 147.52 178.25 Min + usage 41.59 56.04 74.75 105.98 139.04 170.91 62 Stormwater rates: The multi-year approach to Stormwater rates in place since 2012 called for an annual increase for single family residential (classifications 2 & 3) of thirty-five cent ($.35) increase. This represents a 2.32% increase in rate and would be expected to generate $4,570 in additional revenues (assuming no new construction). The 2.32% rate increase will be applied to all levels of stormwater charges. The historical impact on a residential single family user is as follows:  Quarterly Bill   Rate  Increase % Change  2011  13.00 ‐  ‐  2012  13.35  0.35  2.69  2013  13.70  0.35  2.62   2014 14.05  0.35  2.55   2015 14.40  0.35  2.49  2016 14.75  0.35  2.43   2017 15.10  0.35  2.37   2018 15.45  0.35  2.32   The rate increase for other land use categories is consistent with the increase in single family residential (classifications 2 & 3) as see below: Classification-Land Use Proposed 2017 Charge 2016 Charge % Change 1-Cemeteries, parks, golf courses, railroads, vacant land $64.10 per acre $62.65 per acre 2.32% 2- R-1, R-1a, and R-2 residential $61.80 per unit $60.40 per unit 2.32% 3- R-3 residential $61.80 per unit $60.40 per unit 2.32% 4- Schools and institutional uses $147.62 per acre $144.27 per acre 2.32% 5- R-4 Residential , churches and manufactured home parks $188.28 per acre $184.01 per acre 2.32% 6- Commercial and industrial $235.21 per acre $229.88 per acre 2.32% 63 The overall annual impact of the recommended rates for a residential customer at each of the five tier level ranges from $28.77 to $31.78 as detailed below: The Water/Sewer Utility fund summary budget is attached as Exhibit A. Lastly a long range Utility revenues plan is attached as Exhibit B. The plan addresses a 2018 strategic plan goal to develop long term revenue planning. The rates are being managed to begin supporting capital needs of the water and sewer operations. The current plan projects that support to begin in 2022 with a transfer to Utilities Infrastructure fund. The plan includes assumptions regarding future City costs and MCES treatment costs. It also factors in the retirement of water /sewer bonds occurring in 2024. A minimum cash balance was established to recognize that the quarterly billing and collection process is recovering 90-120 days of prior cash outlays. No growth in accounts or usage was factored in the projection. Real growth will be noted annually through the process of updating the base year results. With these factors in place the phase-in of the flat fee and usage rate adjustments were determined. Staff believes the model will help guide year to year rate increases while being flexible enough to keep the annual increases reasonable for utility customers. Staff is recommending the approval of the rate adjustments as proposed.

(e) Payment of disputed amounts due the city by posting or depositing in an escrow account an amount equal to at least 110% of the amount owing 87 (C) When an excavation permit is requested for purposes of installing additional equipment, and a performance and restoration bond which is in existence is insufficient with respect to the additional equipment in the sole determination of the city, the permit applicant may be required by the city to post an additional performance and restoration bond in accordance with § 96.0406. (1993 Code, § 1165.10) 88 § 96.1113 ISSUANCE OF PERMIT; CONDITIONS. (A) If the city determines that the applicant has satisfied the requirements of this chapter, the city may issue a permit. (B) The city may impose any reasonable conditions upon the insurance of a permit and the performance of the applicant thereunder in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, to ensure the structural integrity of the right-of-way, to protect the property and safety of other users of the right-of-way, to minimize the disruption and inconvenience to the traveling public, and to otherwise efficiently manage use of the right-of-way. (C) Small Wireless Facility Conditions. In addition to subdivision 2, the erection or installation of a wireless support structure, the collocation of a small wireless facility, or other installation of a small wireless facility in the right-of-way, shall be subject to the following conditions: 1) A small wireless facility shall only be collocated on the particular wireless support structure, under those attachment specifications, and at the height indicated in the applicable permit application. 2) No new wireless support structure installed within the right-of-way shall exceed 50 feet in height without the city’s written authorization, provided that the city may impose a lower height limit in the applicable permit to protect the public health, safety and welfare or to protect the right-of-way and its current use, and further provided that a registrant may replace an existing wireless support structure exceeding 50 feet in height with a structure of the same height subject to such conditions or requirements as may be imposed in the applicable permit. 3) No wireless facility may extend more than 10 feet above its wireless support structure. 4) Where an applicant proposes to install a new wireless support structure in the right-of-way, the city may impose separation requirements between such structure and any existing wireless support structure or other facilities in and around the right-of-way. 5) Where an applicant proposes collocation on a decorative wireless support structure, sign or other structure not intended to support small wireless facilities, the city may impose reasonable requirements to accommodate the particular design, appearance or intended purpose of such structure. 6) Where an applicant proposes to replace a wireless support structure, the city may impose reasonable restocking, replacement, or relocation requirements on the replacement of such structure. Note: Minn. Stat. § 237.163, Subd. 3b. Small Wireless Facility Agreement. A small wireless facility shall only be collocated on a small wireless support structure owned or controlled by the city, or any other city asset in the right-of-way, after the applicant has executed a standard small wireless facility collocation agreement with the city. The standard collocation agreement may require payment of the following: Up to $150 per year for rent to collocate on the city structure. $25 per year for maintenance associated with the collocation; A monthly fee for electrical service as follows: $73 per radio node less than or equal to 100 maximum watts; $182 per radio node over 100 maximum watts; or The actual costs of electricity, if the actual cost exceed the foregoing. 89 The standard collocation agreement shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the required small wireless facility permit, provided, however, that the applicant shall not be additionally required to obtain a license or franchise in order to collocate. Issuance of a small wireless facility permit does not supersede, alter or affect any then-existing agreement between the city and applicant, Note: Minn. Stat. § 237.163, Subd. 6(g). (D) Action on Small Wireless Facility Permit Applications. 1. Deadline for Action. The city shall approve or deny a small wireless facility permit application within 90 days after filing of such application. The small wireless facility permit, and any associated building permit application, shall be deemed approved if the city fails to approve or deny the application within the review periods established in this section. 2. Consolidated Applications. An applicant may file a consolidated small wireless facility permit application addressing the proposed collocation of up to 15 small wireless facilities, or a greater number if agreed to by a local government unit, provided that all small wireless facilities in the application: a) are located within a two-mile radius; b) consist of substantially similar equipment; and c) are to be placed on similar types of wireless support structures. In rendering a decision on a consolidated permit application, the city may approve some small wireless facilities and deny others, but may not use denial of one or more permits as a basis to deny all small wireless facilities in the application. (E) Tolling of Deadline. The 90-day deadline for action on a small wireless facility permit application may be tolled if: (1) The city receives applications from one or more applicants seeking approval of permits for more than 30 small wireless facilities within a seven-day period. In such case, the city may extend the deadline for all such applications by 30 days by informing the affected applicants in writing of such extension. (2) The applicant fails to submit all required documents or information and the city provides written notice of incompleteness to the applicant within 30 days of receipt the application. Upon submission of additional documents or information, the city shall have ten days to notify the applicant in writing of any still-missing information. (3) The city and a small wireless facility applicant agree in writing to toll the review period. Note: Minn. Stat. § 237.163, Subd. 3c. (B) (1993 Code, § 1165.11) § 96.1214 PERMIT FEES. 90 (A) Excavation permit fee. The excavation permit fee shall be established imposed by the city in an amount sufficient to recover the following costs: (1) The city cost; (2) The degradation of the right-of-way that will result from the excavation; and (3) Restoration, if done or caused to be done by the city. (B) Disruption fees. The city may establish and impose a disruption fee as a penalty for unreasonable delays in excavations, obstructions, or restoration. (B)(C) Obstruction Permit Fee. The city shall impose an obstruction permit fee in an amount sufficient to recover management costs. (C)(D) Payment of permit fees. No excavation permit or obstruction permit shall be issued without payment of all fees required prior to the issuance of the permit unless the applicant shall agree ( in manner, amount, and substance acceptable to the city) to pay the fees within 30 days of billing therefor. All permit fees shall be doubled during a probationary period. Permit fees that were paid for a permit which was revoked for a breach are not refundable. Any refunded permit fees shall be less all city cost up to and including the date of refund. (E) Use of permit fees. All obstruction and excavation permit fees shall be used solely for city management, construction, maintenance, and restoration costs of the right-of-way. (D)(F) Application to Franchises. Unless otherwise agreed to in a franchise, management costs may be charged separately from and in addition to the franchise fees imposed on a right-of-way user in the franchise. (1993 Code, § 1165.12) § 96.1315 RIGHT-OF-WAY RESTORATION. (A) Timing. The work to be done under the excavation permit, and the repair and restoration of the right-of-way as required herein, must be completed within the dates specified in the permit, increased by as many days as work could not be done because of extraordinary circumstances beyond the control 91 of the permit holder or when work was prohibited as unseasonable or unreasonable under § 96.1618. In addition to repairing its own work, the permit holder must restore the general work area of the work, and the surrounding areas, including the paving and its foundations, to the same condition that existed before the commencement of the work and must inspect the area of work and use reasonable care to maintain the same condition for 36 months thereafter. (B) Repair and restoration. The permit holder shall repair its own work. In addition, in its application for an excavation permit, the permit holder may choose either to have the city restore the right-of-way or to restore the right-of-way itself. (1) City restoration. If the permit holder chooses to have the city restore the right-of-way, the permit holder shall pay the costs thereof within 30 days of billing. If, during the 36 months following the restoration, the pavement settles due to the permit holder’s improper backfilling, the permit holder shall pay to the city, within 30 days of billing, the cost for the resultant degradation as well as for any and all additional city costs associated therewith. (2) Permit holder restoration. If the permit holder chooses at the time of application for an excavation permit to restore the right-of-way itself, the permit holder shall post an additional performance and restoration bond in an amount determined by the city to be sufficient to cover the cost of restoring the right-of-way to its pre-excavation condition. If, 36 months after completion of the restoration of the right-of-way, the city determines that the right-of-way has been properly restored, the surety on the performance and restoration bond posted pursuant to this division (B)(2) shall be released. (C) Standards. The permit holder shall perform the work according to the standards and with the materials specified by the city. The city shall have the authority to prescribe the manner and extent of the restoration, and may do so in written procedures of general application or on a case-by-case basis. The city, in exercising this authority, shall be guided but not limited by the following standards and considerations: (1) The number, size, depth, and duration of the excavations, disruptions, or damage to the right-of-way; (2) The traffic volume catted by the right-of-way; the character of the neighborhood surrounding the right-of-way; (3) The pre-excavation condition of the right-of-way; remaining life expectancy of the right- of-way affected by the excavation; (4) Whether the relative cost of the method of restoration to the permit holder is in reasonable balance with the prevention of an accelerated deprecation of the right-of-way that would otherwise result from the excavation, disturbance or damage to the right-of-way; and (5) The likelihood that the particular method of restoration would be effective in slowing the deprecation of the right-of-way that would otherwise take place. 92 (D) Guarantees. By choosing to restore the right-of-way itself, the permit holder guarantees its work and shall maintain it for 36 months following the completion. During this 36-month period, it shall, upon notification from the city, correct all restoration work to the extent necessary, using the method required by the city. The work shall be completed within 5 calendar days of the receipt of the notice from the city, not including days during which work cannot be done because of extraordinary circumstances or days when work is prohibited as unseasonable or unreasonable under § 96.1618. (E) Failure to restore. If the permit holder fails to restore the right-of-way in the manner and to the condition required by the city, or fails to satisfactorily and timely complete all repairs required by the city, the city at its option may perform or cause to be performed the work. In that event, the permit holder shall pay to the city, within 30 days of billing, the cost of restoring the right-of-way. If the permit holder fails to pay as required, the city may exercise its rights under the performance and restoration bond. (F) Degradation fee in lieu of restoration. In lieu of right-of-way restoration, a permit holder shall pay to the city a degradation fee to cover city costs associated with a decrease in the useful life of a public right-of-way caused by excavation and repairs. Payment of a degradation fee does not relieve the permit holder of the obligation to make necessary right-of-way repairs. (1993 Code, § 1165.13) § 96.1416 JOINT APPLICATIONS. (A) Joint application. Registrants may jointly make application for permits to excavate or obstruct the right-of-way at the same place and time. (B) With city projects. Registrants who join in and during a scheduled obstruction or excavation preformed by the city, whether or not it is a joint application by 2 or more registrants or a single application, are not required to pay the obstruction and degradation portions of the permit fee. (C) Shared fees. Registrants who apply for permits for the same obstruction or excavation, which is not preformed by the city, may share in the payment of the obstruction of excavation permit fee. Registrants must agree among themselves as to the portion each will pay indicate the same on their applications. (1993 Code, § 1165.14) § 96.1517 SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATIONS. (A) Limitation on area. A right-of-way permit is valid only for the area of the right-of-way specified in the permit. No permit holder may perform any work outside the area specified in the permit, except as provided herein. Any permit holder which determines that an area greater than that 93 specified in the permit must be obstructed or excavated must before working in that greater area make application for a permit extension and pay any additional fees necessitated thereby, and be granted a new permit or permit extension. (B) Limitations on dates. A right-of-way permit is valid only for the dates specified in the permit. No permit holder may begin its work before the permit start date or, except as provided therein, continue working after the end date. If permit holder does not finish the work by the permit end date, it must make application for a new permit for additional time it needs, and receive the new permit or an extension of the old permit before working after the end date of the previous permit. This supplementary application must be done before the permit end date. (1993 Code, § 1165.15) § 96.16 18 OTHER OBLIGATIONS. (A) Compliance with other laws. Obtaining a right-of-way permit does not relieve permit holder of its duty to obtain all other necessary permits, licenses, franchises, or other authorizations and to pay all fees required by the city, any other city, county, state, or federal rules, laws, or regulations. A permit holder shall comply with all requirements of local, state, and federal laws, including M.S. §§ 216D.01 through 216D.09, as they may be amended from time to time, (“One Call Excavation Notice System”). A permit holder shall preform all work in conformance with all applicable codes and established rules and regulations, and is responsible for all work done in the right-of-way pursuant to its permit, regardless of who performed the work. (B) Prohibited work. Except in the case of an emergency, and with the approval of the city, no right-of-way obstruction or excavation may be performed when seasonally prohibited or when conditions are unreasonable for the work. (C) Interference with right-of-way. A permit holder shall not so obstruct a right-of-way that the natural free and clear passage of water through the gutters or other waterways shall be interfered with. Private vehicles may not be parked with adjacent to a permit area. The loading or unloading of trucks adjacent to a permit area is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the permit. (1993 Code, § 1165.16) § 96.17 19 DENIAL OR REVOCATION OF PERMIT. (A) Reasons for Denial. The city may deny a permit for failure to meet the requirements and conditions of this chapter or if the city determines that the denial is necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare or when necessary to protect the right-of-way and its current use. (B) Procedural Requirements. The denial or revocation of a permit must be made in writing and must document the basis for the denial. The city must notify the applicant or right-of-way user in writing within three business days of the decision to deny or revoke a permit. If an application is denied, the right-of-way user may address the reasons for denial identified by the city and resubmit its application. If the application is resubmitted within 30 days of receipt of the notice of denial, no additional application fee shall be imposed. The city must approve or deny the resubmitted application within 30 days after submission..Note: Minn. Stat. § 237.163, Subds. 4(c) and 5(f). (1) Mandatory denial. Except in the case of an emergency, no right-of-way permit will be granted: 94 (C) (1) To any person required by § 96.06 to be registered who has not done so; (2) To any person required by § 96.10 to file an annual report but has failed to do so; (3) For any next-year project not listed in the construction and major maintenance plan required under § 96.08 unless the person used commercially reasonable efforts to anticipate and plan for the project; (4) For any project which requires the excavation of any portion of a right-of-way which was constructed or reconstructed within the preceding 5 years; (5) To any person who has failed within the past 3 years to comply, or is presently not in full compliance, with the requirements of the section; (6) To any person as whom there exists grounds for the revocation of a permit under § 96.24; 95 (7) If, in the sole discretion of the city, the issuance of a permit for the particular date and/or time would cause a conflict to interfere with an exhibition, celebration, festival, or any other event. The city, in exercising this discretion, shall be guided by the safety and convenience of ordinary travel of the public over the right-of-way, and by considerations relating to the public health, safety, and welfare. (2) To any person required by § 96.04 to be registered who has not done so; (3) To any person required by § 96.08 to file an annual report but has failed to do so; 96 (4) For any next-year project not listed in the construction and major maintenance plan required under § 96.08 unless the person used commercially reasonable efforts to anticipate and plan for the project; (5) For any project which requires the excavation of any portion of a right-of-way which was constructed or reconstructed within the preceding 5 years; (6) To any person who has failed within the past 3 years to comply, or is presently not in full compliance, with the requirements of the section; and (7) To any person as whom there exists grounds for the revocation of a permit under § 96.22; (8) If, in the sole discretion of the city, the issuance of a permit for the particular date and/or time would cause a conflict to interfere with an exhibition, celebration, festival, or any other event. The city, in exercising this discretion, shall be guided by the safety and convenience of ordinary travel of the public over the right-of-way, and by considerations relating to the public health, safety, and welfare. (B)(D) Permissive denial. The city may deny a permit in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, to prevent interference with the safety and convenience of ordinary travel over the right-of-way, or when necessary to protect the right-of-way and its users. The city may consider 1 or more of the following factors: (1) The extent to which right-of-way space where the permit is sought is available; (2) The competing demands for the particular space in the right-of-way; (3) The availability of other locations in the right-of-way or in other rights-of-way equipment of the permit applicants; (4) The applicability of ordinance or other regulations of the right-of-way that affect location of equipment in the right-of-way; (5) The degree of compliance of the applicant with the terms and conditions of its franchise, if any, this chapter, and other applicable ordinances and regulations; (6) The degree of disruption to surrounding communities and businesses that will result from the use of that part of the right-of-way; (7) The condition and age of the right-of-way, and whether and when it is scheduled for a total or partial reconstruction; and 97 (8) The balancing of the costs of disruption to the public and damage to the right- of-way, against the benefits to that part of the public served by the expansion into additional parts of the right-of-way. (C)(E) Discretionary issuance. Notwithstanding the provisions of divisions (A)(3) and (A)(4) above, the city may issue a permit in any case where the permit is necessary to prevent substantial economic hardship to a customer of the permit applicant, or to allow the customer to materially improve its utility service, or to allow a new economic development project; and where the permit applicant did not have knowledge of the hardship, the plans for improvement of service, or the development project when the applicant was required to submit its lists of next-year projects. (D)(F) Permits for additional next-year projects. Notwithstanding the provisions of division (A)(3) above, the city may issue a permit to a registrant who was allowed under § 96.08 10 to submit an additional next-year project, or in the event the registrant demonstrates that it is used commercially reasonable efforts to anticipate and plan for the project, the permit to be subject to all other conditions and requirements of law, including the conditions as may be imposed under § 96.131. (1993 Code, § 1165.17) § 96.1820 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS. In accordance with M.S. §§ 237.162, Subd. 8(3) and 237.163, Subd 8, as they may be amended from time to time; and other provisions of law, and until the Public Utilities Commission adopts uniform statewide standards, the excavation, restoration, and all other work performed in the right-of-way shall be done in conformance with the Standard Specifications for Street Openings as promulgated by the city and at a location as may be required by § 96.2527. The city may enforce local standards prior to adoption of mandatory, preemptive statewide standards pursuant to its inherent and historical police power authority. (1993 Code, § 1165.18) § 96.1921 INSPECTION. (A) Notice of completion of work. When the work under any permit hereunder is completed, the permit holder shall notify the city. (B) Site inspection. The permit holder shall make the work-site available to the City Inspector and to all others as authorized by law for inspection at all reasonable times during the execution and upon completion of the work. (C) Authority of City Inspector. At the time of inspection the City Inspector may order the immediate cessation of any work which poses a serious threat to life, health, safety, or well-being of the public. The City Inspector may issue an order to the registrant for any work which does not conform to the applicable standards, conditions, or codes. The order shall state that failure to correct the 98 violation will be cause for revocation of the permit. Within 10 days after issuance of the order, the registrant shall present proof to the city that the violation has been corrected. If the proof has not been presented within the required time, the city may revoke the permit pursuant to § 96.2224. (1993 Code, § 1165.19) § 96.20 22 WORK DONE WITHOUT A PERMIT. (A) Emergency situations. (1) Each registrant shall immediately notify the city of the city’s designee of any event regarding its equipment which it considers to be an emergency. The registrant may proceed to take whatever actions are necessary in order to respond to the emergency. Within 2 business days after the occurrence of the emergency, the registrant shall apply for the necessary permits, pay the fees associated therewith and fulfill the rest of the requirements necessary to bring itself into compliance with this chapter for the actions it took in response to the emergency. (2) In the event that the city becomes aware of an emergency regarding a registrant’s equipment, the city may attempt to contact the local representative of each registrant affected, or potentially affected, by the emergency. In any event, the city may take whatever action it deems necessary in order to respond to the emergency, the cost of which shall borne by the registrant whose equipment occasioned the emergency. (B) Non-emergency situations. Except in the case of an emergency, any person who, without first having obtained the necessary permit, obstructs or evacuates a right-of-way must subsequently obtain a permit, pay double the normal fee for the permit, pay double all the other fees required by city ordinance, necessary to correct any damage to the right-of-way and comply with all the requirements of this chapter. (1993 Code, § 1165.20) § 96.21 23 SUPPLEMENTAL NOTIFICATION. If the obstruction or excavation of the right-of-way begins later or sooner than the date given on the permit, the permit holder shall notify the city of the accurate information as soon as this information is known. (1993 Code, § 1165.21) § 96.22 24 REVOCATION OF PERMITS. (A) Substantial breach. Registrants hold permits issued pursuant to this code as a privilege and not as a right. The city reserves the right, as provided herein and in accordance with M.S. § 237.163, Subd.4, as it may be amended from time to time, to revoke any right-of-way permit, without fee refund, 99 in the event of a substantial breach of the term and conditioned of any statute, ordinance, rule, or regulation, or any condition of the permit. A substantial breach by permit holder shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (1) The violation of any material provision of the right-of-way permit; (2) An evasion or attempt to evade any material provision of the right-of-way permit, or the perpetration or attempt to perpetrate any fraud or deceit upon the city or its citizens; (3) Any material misrepresentation of fact in the application for a right-of-way permit; (4) The failure to maintain the required bonds and/or insurance; (5) The failure to complete the work in a timely manner; or (6) The failure to correct a condition indicated on an order issued pursuant to § 96.1921. (B) Written notice of breach. If the city determines that the permit holder has committed a substantial breach of a term or condition of any statue, ordinance, rule, regulation, or any condition of the permit, the city shall make a written demand upon the permit holder to remedy the violation. The demand shall state that continued violations may be cause for revocation of the permit. Further, a substantial breach, as stated above, will allow the city, at the city’s discretion, to place additional or revised conditions on the permit. (C) Response to notice of breach. Within 24 hours of receiving notification of the breach, permit holder shall contact the city with a plan, acceptable to the City Inspector, for its correction. The permit holder’s failure to so contact the City Inspector, the permit holder’s failure to submit an acceptable plan, or the permit holder’s failure to reasonably implement the approved plan shall be cause for immediate revocation of the permit. Further, permit holder’s failure to so contact the City Inspector, or the permit holder’s failure to reasonably implement the approved plan shall automatically place the permit holder on probation for 1 full year. (D) Cause for probation. From time to time, the city may establish a list of conditions of the permit which, if breached, will automatically place the permit holder on probation for 1 full year, such as, but not limited to, working out of the allotted time period or working on right-of-way outside of the permit. (E) Automatic revocation. If a permit holder, while on probation, commits a breach as outlined above, permit holder’s permit will automatically be revoked and permit holder will not be allowed further permits for 1 full year, except for emergency’s repairs. (F) Reimbursement of city costs. If a permit os revoked, the permit holder shall also reimburse the city for the city’s reasonable costs, including restoration costs and the costs of collection and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the revocation. (1993 Code, § 1165.22) 100 § 96.2325 APPEALS. (A) Appeal process. If an applicant has been denied registration of a right-of-way permit, its right-of-way permit revoked, or believes that the fees imposed on the user by the city do not conform to the requirements of law, the applicant may have the denial, revocation, or fee imposition reviewed, upon written request, by the City Council. The City Council shall act on a timely written request at its next regularly scheduled meeting. A decision by the City Council affirming the denial, revocation, or fee imposition must be in writing and supported by written findings establishing the reasonableness of the decision. (B) Appeal costs. Each party to the arbitrators shall pay its own costs, disbursements, and attorney fees. (1993 Code, § 1165.23) § 96.2426 MAPPING DATA. (A) Information required. Except as provided in division (B) below, each registrant shall provided to the city information indicating the horizontal and vertical location, relative to the boundaries of the right-of-way, of all equipment which it owns or over which it has control and which is located in any right-of-way (“Mapping Data”). Mapping data shall be provided with the specificity and in the format requested by the city for inclusion in the mapping system used by the city. Notwithstanding the foregoing, mapping data shall be submitted by all registrants for all equipment which is to be installed or constructed after the date of passage of this chapter at the time any permits are sought under this chapter. (B) Supplemental information. Within 6 months of the acquisition, installation, of construction of additional equipment or any relocation, abandonment, or disuse of excavating equipment, each registrant shall supplement the mapping data required herein. (C) Comprehensive equipment plans. (1) Each registrant shall, within 6 months after the date of passage of this chapter, submit a plan to the city specifying in detail the steps it will take economically with the requirements of this chapter. This plan shall provide for the submission of all mapping data for commercial and industrial zoning districts within 2 years after the date of passage of this chapter, and for the remainder of the city as early as may be reasonable and practical, but not later than 5 years after the date of passage of this ordinance for the remainder of the city as early as may be reasonable and practical, but not later than 5 years after the date of passage of this chapter. (2) After 6 months after the passage of this chapter, a new registrant, or a registrant which has not submitted a plan as required above, shall submit complete and accurate mapping data for all its equipment at the time any permits are sought under this chapter. 101 (D) Telecommunications equipment. Information on existing facilities and equipment of telecommunications right-of-way users need only be supplied in the form maintained by the telecommunications right-of-way user. (E) Trade secret information. At the request of any registrant, any information requested by the city, which qualifies as a “trade secret” under M.S. § 13.37(b), as it may be amended from time to time, shall be treated as trade secret information as detailed therein.

Community Indicator Outcomes and Actions Timeline Accountability Performance Measure  City employees understand, are committed to, and have the needed resources to advance racial equity in their roles  Residents have an understanding on how their local government works. Specifically how to communicate with officials and how to participate in decisions Create a shared understanding of racial equity GARE Introductory Cohort The team participating in the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) 2017 cohort, along with staff leadership, will create a Racial Equity Plan as a working document for department directors, City Council, and others. Implementation will begin in 2018. Inclusion Committee Form a staff-driven Inclusion Committee to serve as a resource to employees by providing education about areas of diversity, support city’s goals by promoting diversity, cultural competency and community interaction, and to raise awareness of city’s diversity initiative and its purpose at the city. GARE Implementation Cohort The Inclusion Committee will participate in the 2018 GARE Implementation Cohort designed for jurisdictions that participated in the introductory cohort and are ready for support on plan implementation & peer-to-peer strategizing. Continuing GARE participation will allow the Inclusion Committee members to work towards becoming “subject matter specialists” to be well-equipped to support racial equity efforts. Build capacity and skills to advance racial equity Departmental Racial Equity Assessments The Implementation Team will provide department directors with resources for performing a departmental assessment of their delivery of services from a racial equity perspective. With the help of the GARE Racial Equity Toolkit department directors will review policies and practices to identify and remove any barriers to racial equity and embed racial equity into routine decision- making in a sustainable manner. The Racial Equity Tool is a simple set of questions:  Proposal: What is the policy, program, practice or budget decision under consideration? What are the desired results & outcomes?  Data: What’s the data? What does the data tell us? 2017 Ongoing Ongoing 2018 – 2019 GARE Cohort & Staff Leadership Committee members & Staff Leadership Advanced GARE cohort & Staff Leadership Inclusion Committee & Department Heads Racial Equity Plan finalized and implementation steps are underway Inclusion Committee convened, meeting quarterly with dept. heads and providing resources and training opportunities to staff Cohort sessions are attended and peer exchanged ideas are explored and applied where appropriate Assessments and identified mitigations are continuing and staff leadership and department heads hold regular check-ins to track progress 115 Internal Goal: The City of St. Anthony staff, elected and appointed leaders recognize and are committed to racial equity efforts. Community Indicator Outcomes and Actions Timeline Accountability Performance Measure  Community engagement: How have communities been engaged? Are there opportunities to expand engagement?  Analysis and strategies: Who will benefit from or be burdened by your proposal? What are your strategies for advancing racial equity or mitigating unintended consequences?  Implementation: What is your plan for implementation?  Accountability and communication: How will you ensure accountability, communicate, and evaluate results? The following subject areas have been identified through 2017 GARE participation as proven strategies that can advance racial equity. These, along with other ideas from 2018 GARE participation and feedback from residents, will be reviewed: City Wide – Review policies and practices on hiring, on-boarding, retention, and upward mobility. Specifically minimum qualifications (education and experience equivalencies) and the role of seniority in promotions & benefits. Administration, Human Resources & Finance – Further efforts to build a “virtual city hall” so access to city business is inclusive for all, regardless of work schedules, languages spoken, etc. Fire Department – Review code enforcement policies and practices to ensure resources are being applied equitably across the city. Public Works Department – Expand seasonal workers job scope to offer an internship experience highlighting all aspects of department’s activities. Liquor Operation Department – Implement front-line training specifically focused on effectively serving diverse customers. Department of Justice COPS Program Technical Assistance Police Department – Implement guidance received from the Department of Justice’s COPS program.  Comprehensive overhaul of Principles and Practices manual  Develop data-driven strategic plan on conducting vehicle & pedestrian stops  Develop community engagement strategic plan  Develop training, polices, practices and procedures to facilitate employee professional development 116 External Goal: Residents view their jurisdiction as an effective and inclusive government. Community Indicator Outcomes and Actions Timeline Accountability Performance Measure  Residents believe the city values community participation and engagement  Residents and visitors are aware of the City’s commitment to address racial equity in the city Assure St. Anthony is a welcoming village for everyone Coordination with Community Efforts Utilize existing infrastructure to work towards shared goals by collaborating and coordinating efforts with St. Anthony Villagers for Equity & Community, Dare 2 Be Real, St. Anthony Community Services and the St. Anthony branch of the Hennepin County Library system. Diversification of Commissions Utilize all formal and informal channels to communicate when commission opportunities become available, specifically targeting higher density and rental properties to be represented. New Resident Information Sessions Hold sessions with city representatives at locations around the city to inform residents on how their city works, how they can participate in decisions, and hear what barriers residents are encountering when seeking city services. Feedback from these sessions will be used to gather up to date resources for residents, improve print and electronic communications, enhance future sessions, and inform departments on policies and/or processes to refine in order to ensure everyone has access to city services. Students in Government Provide opportunities for St. Anthony High School students to spend time with city staff and elected officials to learn how the city functions and how they can participate now or in the future in the community in which they choose to live. Communications Plan Work with the team building a city-wide communications plan to ensure it provides employees with outreach and engagement tools to communicate racial equity initiatives. Ongoing Ongoing 2018 – 2019 Ongoing Late 2017 – Early 2018 Staff Leadership Staff Leadership Staff Leadership Staff Leadership Inclusion Committee & Department Heads Staff attends meetings with community groups regularly Increased number and greater diversity in applications for future commission openings Multiple Sessions have been held in various locations within the city Session held at least annually that includes all departments Inclusion Committee and Department Heads have provided input on the plan 117 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK 118 RACE & EQUITY PLAN CITY OF ST.
