A.2025 Long Term Capital Budget Plans
Finance Director Deborah Maloney reviewed the Capital Equipment, Building and Parks Improvement
Funds have been long-standing capital funds used by the City. The Stormwater Fund has funded
stormwater improvements since the 2015 retirement stormwater bonds. The Utilities Infrastructure
Fund was established during 2016 for the replacement of water, sanitary sewer, and fiber optic
infrastructure. Additionally, the Street Improvement and Debt Service Plan is the combined activity of
the annual street improvement funds and their related debt service funds.
The proposed 2025 Capital Funds Budget was displayed. This is based on the Capital Improvement Plan
that is reviewed and updated by staff each year to reflect purchases and repairs completed, and
upcoming purchases and repairs needed. The City Council is asked to consider the following four items:
Review and comments on the 2025 Capital Funds Budget.
Review of fund balances transfers from year-end 2023.

Future considerations for Building Improvement Fund:

Buildings and steep increases in building related costs.
Councilmember Jenson asked for the roof replacements to accommodate the solar projects, the roof
will be replaced this year with the solar panels being done next year. Mr. Yunker stated the timeline for
the solar is yet to be determined because technically we have not been awarded the grant. The funds
are set aside for St. Anthony. They could both happen in 2025. Bids are being sought currently.
Councilmember Doolan asked if the grant is only for one building. Mr. Yunker stated the grant is for two
buildings the public works building and the older side of the water treatment plant. The roof for the
water treatment plant is good. Councilmember Doolan referred to the $120,000 on the spreadsheet for
solar. Ms. Maloney stated the sources show the grants received. The water plant solar is included in the
enterprise fund. Councilmember Doolan stated there are several water heater replacements and she is
aware there are grants available for electrifying the water heaters. She asked if grants were sought for
those and Ms. Maloney stated Jeremy is seeking grant opportunities. Mr. Yunker stated the parks
buildings are smaller, and the grant opportunities would be for the larger buildings. The City is always
looking for grants.
CAPITAL EQUIPMENT FUND
Police
Two squads are scheduled for replacement in 20 25. Squad mileage is used as the main factor
for replacement, and the cycle ranges 3-4 years. Police vehicle purchases in 2024 include:

Councilmember Elnagdy asked if all the vehicle replacements are electric, and Ms. Maloney stated they
are not. In Public Works there is one electric vehicle and in Utilities there is one electric vehicle. Staff is
looking at electric vehicles where it is possible. Mr. Yunker stated public works is the easiest place to
have electric vehicles.
Mayor Webster asked if the code enforcement vehicle could be electric and Mr. Yunker stated that has
always been a hand-me-down vehicle.
Councilmember Doolan asked if a used electric vehicle has been considered. Ms. Maloney stated a
vehicle purchased for fire turned out not to work so a new wrap-around is needed to use that vehicle for
code enforcement.
Councilmember Randle stated he understands the desire to want electric vehicles, but it needs to be
feasible to convert to electric vehicles. Ms. Maloney stated electric vehicles are more expensive. Mr.
Yunker stated the public works vehicles are driven more than code enforcement vehicle. Staff will do
their best to switch over the fleet as soon as possible.
Councilmember Doolan stated there is the inflation reduction act that would give the City direct
payback. Mr. Yunker stated they will look at options and vehicles are generally purchased under the
state contract. Councilmember Doolan asked if the Dodge Durango has a hybrid option. Mr. Yunker
stated that has not come up in conversation. For police vehicle a specific package needs to be ordered
from the dealer and options are limited.
Councilmember Elnagdy asked about a build-up of the truck and Ms. Maloney stated a tanker is added
later and the chassis was purchased first.

be evaluated year to year. 2024 Capital purchases are:
o City Hall – Bizhub Copier replacement $10,000.
2025 planned purchases include:
o Civic Modules Expanded/Added $15,000.
Councilmember Jenson asked if civic modules is software and Ms. Maloney stated it is financial software
upgrades.
Future considerations for Capital Improvement Fund:
Phasing out of the use of Infrastructure transfers as a CIP source and converting that amount to
levy, at which time available Infrastructure dollars would be reallocated to the debt levy
reduction to negate levy impact.
A $222,036 transfer of general fund surplus has been anticipated as a source in 2024. The
general fund transfers will be reviewed for Council action at a Council meeting prior to year-end.
PARKS IMPROVEMENT FUND
The results of the WSB Parks Evaluation study and priorities set by the council using PEC
recommendations inform the items and timing of future capital expenditures.
Significant costs in 2024 included:
o Silver Point Park Play Equipment (assumes full accessibility option) $136,091.
o Silver Point Park Bituminous Trail Resurfacing $216,700.
o Signage – Silver Point and Trillium $3220.00.
Estimated costs for 2025 include:
o Central Park Ballfield netting $110,000.

October 8, 2024 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 6
Future considerations for Park Improvement Fund:
The Park improvement fund’s revenue source is Park Dedication fees and Park levy. Allowed
uses of park dedication fees are limited in scope and dedication fees are infrequent, therefore
insufficient to rely on to add significant new amenities in the City Parks. To reduce reliance on
debt financing for significant additions and improvements, it is recommended that the Park
Improvement Levy be increased a minimum $5,000 per year until it reaches $100,000 to aid in
funding future park replacement needs.
UTILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
Significant purchases for Water treatment plant components are reflected as occurring in 2023-
2026. Staff has proposed a 2025 Plant components assessment be performed by a third-party
subject matter expert. A placeholder of $35,000 has been included in the capital budget. The
amount reflects the complexities of three separate water treatment processes employed by the
City.
Significant Utilities Infrastructure expenses in 2024 include:
o Purchase of a replacement dehumidifier for the GAC plant $162,300.
o Completion of Well No. 4 Pump restoration project, total costs for this were $198,310.
o Replacement of Sodium Permanganate Pumps and chemical feed tubes at a cost of
$29,164.
o Replacement of a Chlorine booster pump at the GAC Plant $6705.
o Foss Road Lift Station repair costs $45,780.
Fleet and other equipment used in maintaining the delivery and collections systems is budgeted
separately from the Water treatment plant and Sanitary lift stations. Significant Utility related
fleet and equipment costs in 2024 included:
o Ford Lightning EV replaced a 2007 pick-up $62,765.
o M2 Water Tanker/Flusher $177,598 net cost after trade in.
o Purchase of a 4-inch transfer pump which replaced 3 smaller pumps $5,066/
Future considerations for Utilities Infrastructure Fund:
The Utilities Infrastructure currently has a sufficient fund balance to support the programmed
equipment replacement through the 2030’s. Water and Sewer operating fund transfers are
projected to begin in 2025 to support future capital needs. Annual adjustments to water and
sewer rates will ensure that operating transfers are available.
A Plant components assessment in 2024 or 2025 will aid in informing the necessary capital
expenditure items and timing of the same.
Councilmember Elnagdy asked about the tanker/flusher and if that will be in 2024 and Ms. Maloney
stated it depends when the replacement is received. It is expected in 2024.
STORMWATER FUND
Costs to account for flood mitigation and water quality concerns, mandates, and stormwater
pond maintenance are accounted for in our Stormwater Utility Fund. Significant costs in this
fund for 2024 and 2025 include:
o The placeholder for an Industrial Park flooding mitigation has moved to 2030,
anticipating that redevelopment will not occur until a later date.
o Mirror Lake Outfall repair is expected to cost $55,600 in 2024.
8
October 8, 2024 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 7
o Maintenance costs for the Street Sweeper are accounted for in this fund at an estimated
$6,000 per year.
o Other pond maintenance and water quality costs are estimated at $28,000 per year.
o MS4 Engineering costs are around $7,000 each year.
Future considerations for Storm Water Fund:
The Storm Water fund currently has a sufficient fund balance to support the scheduled
replacement throughout 2025-2041 time-frame. Stormwater fund transfers have been used to
support the debt levy reduction program as needed in prior years.
The street improvement schedule and 2025 debt levy reduction program were presented to the
City Council at the 6/25/24 Council Work Session and approved at the 9/10/24 City Council
Meeting.
Summary
The proposed 2025 Capital Funds budgets align revenue sources with appropriate needs to ensure
sustainability and sound financial reserves to safeguard the ability to maintain the City’s valuable assets.
The budgets as presented are intended to support the Cities present level of services and maintain the
City’s infrastructure for current and future community members.
Ms. Maloney reviewed the Fund Balance Transfers. Action sought from Council is:
Approval of proposed transfers.
Excess Fund Balance Transfers approved along other fund transfers in December 2024.
Excess transfers will be retroactive to 1/1/2024.
The Financial Results slide was provided for the Council. This slide demonstrates the City’s Net
unassigned fund balance at 12/31/2023.
Options for reducing the excess general fund balance were demonstrated in the chart provided. Staff
recommends a moderate transfer, retaining 46.75% of fund balance to ensure healthy reserves to help
retain our AA+ bond rating awarded to the City this year.
Parks Requests from Parks & Environmental Commission and Staff include:
Additional Safety Netting for Central Park Fields C1 & C3 – Estimated cost: $110,000 (included in
CIP).
Upgrade Field Lighting to LED. Estimated cost $535,000 (Central Park $370,000 Tennis Courts
$165,000).
Pickleball Courts – Estimated cost $300,000.
Mayor Webster thanked Ms. Maloney for the recommendation and retaining 46.75% of the fund
balance. Ms. Maloney stated it was 54%.
Councilmember Jenson stated previously the fund balance was 35% and the decision was made to
increase it closer to 50%.
Councilmember Doolan asked is the fund due to efficiencies. Ms. Maloney stated it was a unique year. A
fire truck moved from liability to revenue fund. There were interest earnings for the first time in the past
few years. Councilmember Doolan asked what the difference is between 46.75% and 42.0%, and if at
42.0%, would that keep the tax levy lower this year. Mr. Yunker stated with the upgraded bond rating
9
October 8, 2024 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 8
received this year they noted 44%. There are many factors, and we must be cautious about how much is
used.
Councilmember Jenson stated isn’t the higher bond rating advantageous and Ms. Maloney stated in
order to obtain lower interest rates.
Councilmember Elnagdy asked what the “normal” is. Mr. Yunker stated we always want some excess to
be conservative. There is not a typical year.
Mr. Yunker stated the additional netting cost would be shared with the school district. This will be
planned to be done. When upgrading to LED a 50% energy savings is anticipated based on information
from the vendor. The pickleball courts have been discussed for several years. The PEC recommends the
best location as Central Park in the ice rink. This does not include any sound mitigation. Putting ice on
top of pavement would make the courts wear out sooner. The suggestion was to put them south of the
pavilion. The PEC wants to continue discussing location. The cost would be about the same if it was the
wellhouse area.
FUNDING OPTION FOR PARKS REQUESTS
The existing Parks Improvement Levy was established only recently and is primarily utilized to service an
interfund loan established to fund the replacement of the tennis courts in Water Tower Park. While
staff has proposed an increase to that levy to support small amenity replacements and small
enhancements, there is no existing funding for large amenity replacements. The City has a number of
funding options:
Increase the Parks Improvement Levy significantly to build funds over time.
Utilize debt financing, as utilized in the past.
Secure “one-time” funding sources.
Ms. Maloney continued over the past three years the City Council has expressed the commitment to
reduce dependency on debt financing for capital improvement (i.e. street reconstruction) and minimize
the overall levy increases each year. The Council also discussed options to close out decertified TIF
districts in the Silver Lake Village area with Ehlers at the April 9, 2024 Work Session. No specific plan was
identified but closing the decertified districts was identified as the best overall option for utilizing the
funds.
Given the Parks requests from the Parks & Environmental Commission and Staff, Finance Staff asked
Ehlers to prepare a memo to describe how a close out of the districts would work, and the funds that
would be made available for Council’s consideration. Ehlers memo was provided, and a summary of the
end result is the City will receive approximately $976,424. Once these dollars are received from the
County they are no longer considered TIF and the City can deposit them into any City fund, including the
General Fund to use at its discretion. It is important to note that this would be one-time funds, and use
should be carefully considered.
Ms. Malone reviewed the specific items for discussion and feedback:
Comments on the information presented and work completed to date.
Prioritization of Parks requests from Parks and Environmental Commission and Staff comments
on the funding options for the Parks requests.
Also provided for Council consideration are CIP Spreadsheets and Ehlers TIF Memo.
10
October 8, 2024 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 9
Councilmember Jenson asked if Central Park netting and trails have their own separate funding source.
Mr. Yunker stated the question is whether to update the field lighting to LED. Councilmember Jenson
stated that would make sense and fit into our climate plan. He feels it is important to identify some
funding for the pickleball courts. He feels it would be appreciated by the residents. He would like to
transfer the dollars. He feels lighting and pickleball are important.
Councilmember Elnagdy stated she agreed with the lighting. The money for the pickleball could be the
closed-out TIF funds along with grants. Councilmember Elnagdy asked how long the pickleball trend will
last. There are other parks that need help. She feels strongly against the pickleball courts.
Councilmember Jenson stated Council has received several requests for pickleball. He does not believe
the trend will end. Councilmember Elnagdy stated the residents have wanted a dog park for several
years. Councilmember Jenson stated they have not been able to identify a location for a dog park. Mr.
Yunker stated the request for dog park will be coming shortly.
Mayor Webster stated St. Anthony has had 3 full sheets of ice each year and how long will that be
available due to weather changing.
Councilmember Randle stated he agrees with Councilmember Elnagdy but does not see the need for
pickleball. He suggested if residents want a dog park they should go to Minneapolis. The lighting makes
sense.
Councilmember Doolan stated a broader conversation on priorities is needed. The traffic on 29th from
the Park is an issue that needs to be addressed. Councilmember Doolan asked about the lighting. She
asked if the timing could be adjusted. Mayor Webster stated there is a timer for the tennis court and
Central Park which turns off the lights at 10:00 p.m. Mr. Yunker stated that is part of the broader
conversation on usage. Councilmember Doolan stated she assumes grants will be sought for the LED
lighting and Mr. Yunker stated grants are sought.
Mayor Webster asked about the trail improvements as part of the 2025 will be funded through
dedication fees and transfers. She stated there is agreement to close out the TIF funds. The 2025
preliminary levy has been established.

The next Work Session will be held on October 15, 2024 in the Council Chambers and will be a joint
session with the Planning Commission.

BACKGROUND
The Livable Communities Act (LCA) establishes the Metropolitan Council authority to distribute funds related to
housing through the Local Housing Incentives Account Program (LHIA) for the seven-county metro region. Cities
that elect to participate in the LHIA are eligible to apply to multiple funding programs related to housing and
development topics. Staff is recommending that the City elects to participate in the LHIA program. In order to
opt into the LHIA program and to be eligible to apply for LCA grant funding opportunities, the City Council must
pass a resolution electing to participate in the LHIA by November 15, 2024. The Metropolitan Council has
provided Staff with a draft resolution (attached) for City Council to consider.

would be electing to participate in the LHIA program through 2030, after which point the City would need to
pass another resolution if interested in continuing to participate in the program.
By electing to participate in the LHIA, the City agrees to meet the affordable housing goal range and the life-
cycle as housing goal as defined by the Metropolitan Council. These thresholds are as follows:
Affordable Housing Goals Range Life-Cycle Housing Goal
84-152 576
Participating cities are asked to complete survey annually to report affordable and life-cycle housing
opportunities amount. This reporting will be completed at a staff level.
LCA FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
The seven-county metro region allocates funds each year to the follow focus topics:
Housing, Jobs, Efficient Growth
Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
Pre-development
Policy Development
Clean-up/Investigation
Affordable Rental Housing
Affordable Home Ownership
13
PAGE 2
Solicitations for each area of focus occurs annually, with some of the programs including multiple solicitations
each year. Applications must come from a government organization that is a participating city.

adjustments that began in 2012. The parameters used for adjusting rates are as follows:
Align revenue sources with corresponding costs
Provide transparency as to the basis of rates and rate adjustments
Maintain a structural balanced operation
Ensure that rates appropriately support the ability to:
o Provide safe drinking water
o Properly discharge sanitary sewer flows
o Appropriately control and treat stormwater runoff
Water Rates:
As part of the annual rate adjustment process the water production and distribution costs are
categorized as fixed in nature or usage driven. The 2025 budgeted water costs are comprised of
$875,593 in fixed costs and $1,038,888 in usage driven costs, as shown on Exhibit A and as
summarized here:

The Multiyear approach to water rates included the phase in of the flat fee which began in
2016. Based on estimated actual results for 2024 and 2025 budgeted costs are reflected in the
proposed rates for 2025 are reflected below.

The above rates are projected to produce $1,4999,839 in revenues assuming water
consumption in 2025 is at a similar level as seen in 2024. With a comparable consumption, the
operating income before depreciation is budgeted to be $235,772. The water budget is
attached as Exhibit B.

Sewer Rates:
As part of the annual rate adjustment process the sewer treatment and collection system costs
are categorized as fixed in nature or flow volume driven. The 2025 budgeted sewer costs are
comprised of $584,010 in fixed costs and $995,456 in flow volume driven costs (usage), as
shown in Exhibit D and as summarized below:

The above rates are projected to produce $1,589,785 in revenues in 2025. At this level of
revenues, the operating income before depreciation is budgeted to be $109,191. The sewer
budget is attached as Exhibit D.
The recommendation’s impact on 2025 quarterly Sewer bills is reflected below:
Stormwater rates:
A multi-year approach to Stormwater rates in place since 2012 called for an annual increase for
single family residential (classifications 2 & 3) to bring the rates in line with surrounding
communities and minimal increases moving forward to sufficiently fund future costs of the
stormwater utility. Staff’s proposal for 2025 is a $.75 increase in single family stormwater
charge. The proposed rate amount is comparable to the range of surveyed rates shown on
Exhibit E. Single-family rate increases are determined based on cost drivers, projected project
needs and overall fund balance.
The City’s commercial stormwater rates however, are below the rates charged for high density
and commercial/industrial/institution classifications. It was noted in the 2023 rate survey that
the city’s commercial rates were 3-4 times the single-family rate. The surveyed 2023 rates for
these classifications were 7-12.5 times the single-family rates. Therefore, staff is proposed to
phase in an increase the high density and commercial/industrial/institution rates. Employing
19
the same multi-year approach as used for past single-family rates increases. This approach
results in the fixed amount increase reflected in the chart below. These additional charges will
aid in supplementing the funding for future street reconstruction and major stormwater
improvements in the industrial and retail districts as they are redeveloped.
The proposed 2025 Stormwater quarterly rate increases by land use categories is detailed
below:
The overall annual impact of the recommended rates for a residential customer at each of the
five tier levels is below:
A survey of local municipalities 2025 utility rates is attached as Exhibit E. The Saint Anthony
Village 2024 utility rates are lower than many of the surrounding cities surveyed.
The Water/Sewer Utility fund summary budget is attached as Exhibit F.
Lastly, a long-range Utility revenue plan is attached as Exhibit G. The plan addressed a 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 will begin in 2025 with a transfer to the 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. No growth in number of
accounts or usage was factored in the projection. Real growth will be noted annually through
the process of updating the base year results. Using these factors annual adjustments to the flat
fees and usage rates 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.
Council Action requested:
Approval of proposed rates.
