1 Mr. Morrison stated the purpose of the public hearing is to solicit input from residents on the
2 development of the City's 2010 budget. He presented the budget schedule, noting that the
3 Council will hold a work session on May 4rh to review the 2010 0erating budget and capital
4 equipment needs, followed by another work session on August 3T to continue review of the
5 budget, with the idea that the proposed 2010 budget and property tax levy will be presented to
6 the Council on September 8th. He stated the Truth -in -Taxation public hearing must be held
7 between November 30th and December 21St, and approval and final adoption of the 2010
8 operating budget and property tax levy is anticipated to be held on December 15th. He presented
9 a snapshot of the general fund, noting that revenues for 2009 are budgeted at $5,277,400 with
10 expenditures budgeted at $5,277,400, with the largest share coming out of public safety. He
11 outlined the sources of general fund revenues, noting that 56% of revenues come from the tax
12 levy.
13
14 Councilmember Gray noted the State budgeting shortfall will reduce the City's Market Value
15 Credit by $135,000 and the City does not currently receive any local government aid from the
16 State. He asked if staff anticipates the State cutting anything else.
17
18 Mr. Morrison replied that staff feels the risk is low, and added the City receives pension funds for
19 police and fire based on insurance premiums paid by homeowners; he stated he did not feel that
20 would change.
21
22 Mr. Ken Brown, 3422 Silver Lane NE, addressed the City Council and stated the Citizens
23 League puts out a report that analyzes 117 metro areas and the City's average market value
24 ranked 78th out of 117 and the City's effective tax rate ranked 15th out of 117. He stated the City
25 is the second highest of its surrounding communities, with Roseville being 45% less than St.
26 Anthony. He stated he also reviewed tax dollars of other communities surrounding Minneapolis
27 and found that only five are higher than St. Anthony, with 37 communities paying less in taxes
28 than St. Anthony. He indicated he reviewed the goals prepared by the thirteen person committee
29 and was discouraged to see there was no goal in place for efficiency in bringing the City's tax
30 rate more in line with its market value, resulting in a very high tax rate. He expressed concern
31 that the City does not appear to have a goal in place for finding efficiencies and asked the City
32 Council to consider publishing an article explaining to residents why the City has such a high tax
33 rate and to give this strong consideration when implementing the 2010 budget.
34
35 Mayor Faust stated the City Council and staff are very concerned about expenditures and the
36 City Council goes through the budget line by line. He respectfully disagreed with Mr. Brown that
37 the City Council does not look for efficiencies.
38
39 Mayor Faust closed the public hearing at 7:12 p.m.

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
April 28, 2009
Page 3
A. Consider Resolution 09-038; Calling a Hearing on Arbors Alley Roadway and Utility
Improvement Project.
4 Mr. Todd Hubmer, WSB & Associates, stated there are three resolutions pertaining to the Arbors
5 Alley roadway and utility improvement project. He provided a brief recap of the project by
6 stating the alley located immediately south of Croft Drive and west of Old Highway 8 is
7 currently owned by the townhome community; there have been water main breaks in the past and
8 the residents have expressed concerns about the existing condition, and have asked the City to
9 take over maintenance of the alley. He stated all of the proposed improvements will be assessed
10 to the benefiting property owners, with the project consisting of alley reconstruction,
11 replacement of the water main, and drainage improvements. He stated the estimated cost of the
12 project is $84,300, which is in line with the anticipated cost contained in the feasibility study.
13 He stated the proposed assessment can be paid over a fifteen year period at an interest rate of
14 approximately 5.25%; residents may also pay the assessment in full to avoid interest. He
15 indicated that residents will receive notice of the public hearing on the proposed improvements,
16 scheduled for May 26, 2009. He added there will also be a public information meeting on May
17 20th
18
19 Mayor Faust stated the City was approached by the homeowner's association to take this back,
20 and the City has indicated its willingness to do this, provided the area is brought up to City
21 standards; as a result, all costs associated with the project will be borne by the homeowners.
22
23 Noreen Jaros, 2916 Old Highway 8, addressed the City Council and expressed concern about the
24 additional storm water improvements required. She stated the additional $17,300 was not
25 previously discussed and she was surprised to see this additional amount added to the proposed
26 assessment.
27
28 Mr. Hubmer stated the drainage issues were discussed during the public meetings held earlier but
29 staff was not aware at that time what the cost of those improvements would be. He added
30 concerns have been raised in the past about the storm water drainage and staff feels it is crucial
31 to resolve the drainage problems.
32
33 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Thuesen, to adopt Resolution 09-
34 038, Calling a Hearing for the Arbors Alley Roadway and Utility Improvement Project.
35
36

10
11 D. Consider Resolution 09-041; Adopting a Poliev Against Fencing the Storm Water Pond
12 Located at the Northeast Corner of Silver Lake Road and 33`d Avenue NE.
13
14 Mr. Hubmer stated the City has sought direction from the League of Minnesota Cities, the City's
15 insurance provider, regarding this storm water pond and the City's decision making process with
16 respect to fencing the pond. He stated the City does not desire to fence the pond because it may
17 hinder efforts of emergency personnel in the event of a safety incident, and safety measures
18 including a gradual slope, no direct drop-offs, and a depth of less than four feet were all
19 considered in the design of the pond. He explained the League has made one change to the
20 proposed resolution, deleting the fifth "Whereas" clause and replacing it with:
21
22 WHEREAS, the City has consulted with its insurance provider, the League of Minnesota
23 Cities, on this matter.
24
25 Councilmember Stille stated he visited the pond last Sunday and waded out to the middle and
26 found the depth to be approximately two feet and it was easy for him to get in and out of the
27 pond.
28
29 Mr. Hubmer noted the pond will be a little deeper once the project is finished. He added the
30 pond bottom is hard clay and there will be very little sediment in the pond. He further added
31 there will be some fencing on the east side near the retaining wall to prevent anybody from
32 falling over the retaining wall.
33
34 Councilmember Roth expressed some concern about not fencing the pond because of its close
35 proximity to the school and asked whether a low fence should be added at least on the south side
36 where the kids are coming and going to the school. He also questioned whether a decision on the
37 fencing should be postponed until the landscaping is completed.
38
39 Mayor Faust stated the City Engineer consulted with the League on the fencing issue in order to
40 determine what the City's exposure might be and the resolution is a way for the City to take a
41 position on the matter and to state that fencing of the pond may result in an "attractive nuisance."
42 He added it is important for residents to bear some responsibility with regard to their own
43 personal safety.
44

Councilmember Thuesen concurred and stated he is comfortable with the City Engineer's and
the League's recommendation regarding fencing. He felt the City has taken all necessary
measures to insure the safety of residents.
Councilmember Stille stated if it is determined that a fence is needed at a later date, the City
could revisit the issue at that time.
8 Mayor Faust encouraged residents who live near the pond to contact the police department if
9 they see kids playing in the water. He asked if the City should give consideration to putting
10 some signs up in the area.
11
12 Mayor Faust recited the new fifth "Whereas" clause into the record.
13
14 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to adopt Resolution 09-
15 041, Adopting a Policy Against Fencing the Storm Water Pond Located at the Northeast Corner
16 of Silver Lake Road and 33`d Avenue NE, as amended.
17
18 Motion carried unanimously.
19
20 Mr. Hubmer provided an update on 2009 street projects in progress and stated there were some
21 access issues at Mirror Lake Townhomes and a temporary entrance has been constructed. He
22 requested that residents have patience during the construction and to call the City if further
23 concerns arise.
24
25 Mayor Faust requested Mr. Hubmer provide information regarding hours of construction
26 pursuant to City ordinance.
27
28 Mr. Hubmer stated construction crews are allowed to work 7:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. Monday through
29 Friday, to begin work at 9:00 a.m. on Saturdays, and no working hours are allowed on Sunday.
30 He encouraged residents to contact the police department if there are issues with respect to
31 contractor's working hours. He added if a contractor wants to work different hours than allowed
32 by ordinance, it needs to be approved by action of the City Council.
33
34 Mr. Hubmer reported that new trees will begin being planted along Silver Lake Road; in
35 addition, the St. Anthony Boulevard mill and overlay work will begin this summer.
36
37 E. St. Anthony Finance Department Annual Report.
38
39 Mr. Larson presented the 2008 Finance Department annual report to the Council. He stated the
40 2008 general operating budget was $4,998,600. He provided an overview of the general fund
41 balance and stated revenues come in twice per year, in July and December, and the state requires
42 the City to maintain adequate funds to meet its expenditures without going in the red. He noted
43 the City's goal is 30-35% and the City has been able to maintain that in the fund balance. He
44 also discussed the 2008 debt service and road improvement bonds; the impact was reduced by
45 approximately $87,000 with the payoff of two street improvement bonds.

1 Mr. Larson provided an overview of interest earnings on cash and investments, and stated the
2 average rate of return in 2008 was 4.7%, down approximately one percentage point from the
3 previous year. He discussed the water/sewer fund and stated in 2009, the DNR has mandated
4 tiered water rates to promote conservation by placing a premium on high usage; the City must
5 implement the new rates by 2010. He stated in 2008, metropolitan waste costs were $467,267
6 and costs have stabilized over the last three years primarily due to the I&I (inflow and
7 infiltration) program. He stated that Met Council will assess penalties for improper drainage into
8 the sanitary disposal system and the City has been removed from the surcharge list.
10 Mr. Larson discussed key financial management planning and stated improvements will be
11 funded with no increase in taxes; in addition, the Emerald Park funding plan calls for no increase
12 in taxes and the impact will be offset by a reduction of debt and decertification of the Chandler
13 TIF.
14
15 Mr. Larson stated the City received a Certificate of Excellence in 2006 and 2007 for financial
16 reporting excellence presented by the Government Finance Officers Association. He discussed
17 the City's credit rating by Moody's and the A-1 rating is the highest rating for a city the size of
18 St. Anthony. He added the recent bond rating from Standard & Poor's for the 2009 street project
1.9 was AA, representing an upgrade of two ratings.
20
21 Mr. Larson provided an overview for 2009, including the Chandler/Foss Road improvement
22 project, renovation of Emerald Park, refinancing of two improvement bonds for a savings of
23 $53,000 on the 2000A storm sewer bonds and $23,500 on the 2000B MSA street improvement
24 bonds. He added with the anticipated loss of $135,000 in Market Value Credit from the State,
25 the City is in the planning stages of restructuring the 2009 and 2010 budgets. He stated the City
26 is planning for the future by looking at resources needed for environmental considerations,
27 technology improvements, infrastructure improvements, and the decertification of the Chandler
28 TIF District by September 30, 2011.
29
30 Mayor Faust stated it is important to remember that when the City talks about refinancing, the
31 debt term timeline was not extended and the interest rate is the lowest rate the City has ever had.
32
33 Mr. Larson explained that city governments are not allowed to invest in the regular stock market,
34 and the City has been inclined to only invest in instruments such as CDs, Fannie Mae and
35 Freddie Macs, and zero coupon bonds, which, if kept until maturity, you get 100% of your
36 principal back. He added the City has been able to time investments accordingly and the money
37 is safe.
38
39 Councilmember Stille stated it is important to make sure the City does not have any positive
40 arbitrage.
41
42 Mr. Larson stated staff has examined all investments and every issue the City owns has been
43 arbitrage compliant.
44
45 Mayor Faust stated the fund balance is 30-35% funded, even though the State auditor says the
46 City can have up to 50%, which means that the extra 15-20% is kept in investments rather than

1 in the City's checking account. He added these funds were placed in the 4M Fund with the
2 League of Minnesota Cities; this fund underwent a complete audit to make sure there was
3 nothing in there that was vulnerable to the current economic downturn and the funds are secure.
4
5 Councilmember Thuesen stated the AA rating is significant and is an indication that the City has
6 been responsible with its spending and the projects undertaken by the City have been successful.

15
16 VIII. COMMUNITY FORUM.
17
18 Mayor Faust invited residents to come forward at this time and address the Council on items that
19 are not on the regular agenda.
20
21 Ms. Robin Rovick addressed the City Council and expressed concern that the fencing at Water
22 Tower Park blocks the view to the toddler park, which was decided, early on, to put around the
23 corner. She stated it appears parents do not realize the toddler park is for their children's use and
24 not just for use by the daycare program. She requested the City give consideration to placing
25 some signage and making the area more accessible to people, particularly since their taxes are
26 paying for the park.
27
28 Mayor Faust asked Mr. Mornson to review this and work with the parks staff to determine if
29 signage should be added.
30
31 Ms. Rovick also stated there were comments made a few weeks ago in the newspaper to the
32 effect that the City is not feeling the effects of the recession. She stated all residents want to be
33 proud of their community and the City has a continuing obligation to maintain its infrastructure
34 to make this a livable community. She stated we are all impacted by the global recession and
35 expressed concern that the statement made in the newspaper does not reflect the true picture of
36 what is happening in the City. She stated taxes continue to go up and this is frustrating to a lot of
37 residents.
38
39 IX. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.

41 Mayor Faust reminded residents of clean-up day on Saturday, May 2"a, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00

IV. GENERAL POLICY OF BUSINESS OF THE H.R.A.
A. Resolution 09-007; Authorizing Assignment of Mortgage Assignment of Leases and
Rents and Fixture Financing Statement Concerning Extension of Credit Facility from
Fannie Mae. Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers & Associates and Jay Lindgren Dorsey &
Whitney, presenting.
Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers & Associates, reviewed the proposed resolution and provided background
information on the Fannie Mae loan extension related to Silver Lake Village. She stated on April 1,
2009, the City and Fannie Mae executed the second amendment and modification to the loan and
security on the subject loan. Fannie Mae requested additional security on the loan in the form of an
assignment of the HRA's mortgage on the property. Ms. Kvilvang advised that upon discussion and
review with legal counsel, providing the assignment does not increase the City's risk in the deal. The
only time Fannie Mae would foreclose on this mortgage is if the City does not repay the loan, which is
unlikely. Ms. Kvilvang provided an overview of the rcmaining principal balance, the term of the
extension to December 31, 2010, and the schedule of payments. She explained that the loan will be

April 14, 2009

1 repaid through land sale proceeds (estimated at $1.5 million) and tax increment that is generated when
2 the developer capitalizes its PAYG TIF note when it commences with construction.
4 Commissioner Stille requested an explanation on whether the economics still work with the land sale.
5 Ms. Kvilvang replied that the balance of the loan will be approximately $9,950,000 after the land sale.
6 Projected TIF revenue provides adequate proceeds to pay off the loan balance.
7
8 Mayor Faust requested comments from the City Attorney regarding Fannie Mae's requirement for an
9 assignment of the HRA's mortgage on the property. City Attorney Lindgren stated he agrees with Ms.
10 Kvilvang that providing the assignment does not really increase the risk to the City. He stated it creates
11 an additional burden to go through, but the likelihood of Fannie Mae ever foreclosing on the mortgage is
12 remote.
13
14 Motion by Commissioner Gray, seconded by Commissioner Roth, to approve Resolution 09-007,
15 Authorizing Assignment of Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Financing Statement
16 Concerning Extension of Credit Facility from Fannie Mae.

18 Motion adopted unanimously.
