Operational Research Assistance (OPERA) Program Recap. Janelle Borgen, WSB & Associates, presenting. 9 Ms. Borgen provided background information regarding the mid -block crossing at Silver Lake 10 Road and 34`x' Avenue and advised the project received a $10,000 OPERA grant to study the 11 effectiveness of in -pavement LED and the City worked with students from the Capstone project 12 to raise awareness about pedestrian safety. She stated that final design work was completed in 13 spring 2012 including pre -installation data collection that counted cars as well as how many 14 pedestrians used the mid -block crossing. She indicated the project was installed in September 15 2012 and post -installation data was collected this spring and the OPERA final report submitted 16 in June. She advised that drivers were not complying with the standard signage at this location 17 requiring drivers to stop for pedestrians within the crosswalk with the majority of pedestrians in 18 this area being children going to and from school with a peak hour average pedestrian count of 19 75, adding that 49% of vehicles were observed to stop for pedestrians when both traffic and 20 pedestrians were present. She stated the City has received numerous positive comments from 21 residents about the new signal and driver compliance has increased by 12%; in addition, 22 jaywalkers and conflicts have decreased. She indicated there has been no maintenance since 23 installation and no issues with snow removal. She presented a short video of the crosswalk and 24 advised that WSB has a partner with a $10,000 donation that it would like to give to the City and 25 consideration is being given to adding a similar signal at Pentagon Drive and Kenzie Terrace. 26 She added they are also working with Hennepin County on funding for this location and if the 27 County is willing to partner with the City on this project, construction should begin next spring. 28 29 Mayor Faust stated that while the new signal has not resulted in 100% compliance, it has likely 30 reduced the number of jaywalkers. He added there seems to be more non-compliance from 31 drivers traveling south on Silver Lake Road and was not sure if there was a sight line issue or if 32 some adjustment is needed to the signal. He thanked Ms. Borgen for the update. 33 34 B. St. Anthony Liquor Operations Mid -Year Report.

He then presented a summary of sales through .Tune 2013 showing a 41 decrease of $228,500 and a net profit decrease of $30,428 and presented a comparison of 42 January -June 2012 versus January -June 2013. He discussed several possible factors for the sales 43 decrease, including the weather and increased competition from brewpubs and a new off -sale 44 liquor store near the Quarry. He presented sales and net income projections for 2013 and pointed 45 out the 2012 figures were removed from the projections because 2012 represented an anomaly 46 and explained that even by removing 2012, average sales from January -June of 2009-2011 were 47 $3,142,000 and 2013 average sales from January to June were $3,266,000, with projected sales City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 13, 2013 Page 3 1 for July -December estimated at $3,670,000.

He discussed 2013 accomplishments including beverage alcohol server 5 training and store security training and the liquor stores passed the alcohol compliance check. 6 He stated that Liquor Operations was recently awarded the Lillie Suburban Newspapers Reader's 7 Choice Awards for best wine and best beer selection. He discussed the increased social media 8 footprint including Facebook, Twitter, 4 Square, and Yelp.

He asked if Liquor Operations 15 has seen any benefits with this new software, e.g., providing more accurate analysis of data. 16 17 Liquor Operations Manager Larson advised that final installation of the software will be 18 completed tomorrow and agreed to provide an update once the software is tested. 19 20 Mayor Faust expressed the City Council's thanks to Liquor Operations Manager Larson for the 21 update and to all the Liquor Operations staff for their efforts. 22 23 C.

He indicated that staff would come back to 33 the City Council with a recommendation following the interim period, including whether the 34 City should continue to provide City Clerk and Treasurer services to Birchwood Village. 35 36 Councilmember Jenson asked if existing staff will be used during the interim period and whether 37 additional staff would be required if the agreement is extended. 38 39 City Manager Casey replied that existing staff will provide services to Birchwood Village during 40 the interim period. He stated that staff will discuss any additional staffing requirements with the 41 City Council if the agreement is extended. 42 43 Mayor Faust stated this is intended as a 90 -day pilot project and the City will be reimbursed for 44 all staff time and mileage, including hourly wages and benefits, at no cost to residents. 45 Motion by Councilmember Roth, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution 46 13-061; a Resolution Approving a Shared Services Agreement between the City of St. Anthony 47 Village and the City of Birchwood Village for City Clerk and Treasurer Responsibilities. 3 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 13, 2013 Page 4 Motion carried unanimously. 3 VII.

Additionally, a public hearing was held April 23`1 for public input on the budget process. Based on discussions with the Council, Staff has prepared a proposed 2014 General Operating Budget. This represents a $206,218 dollar or a 3.8% percent increase from 2013. The parameters for preparing the budget included: 1) Revenues are budgeted using current trends for variable revenue sources and conservative estimates for stable revenue sources. Expenses are budgeted at amounts that will maintain present levels of City services. 2) Salaries adjustment at 2% COLA and Health Insurance premiums up 6.65%. 3) Road levy increase of 12.6% is comprised of 7.5% for debt service requirements for 2013 street project and 5. I % for the restructuring of prior debt. The 2014 General Operating Levy and CIP Levy are equal to the 2013 Levy. The remaining levies are increased by the debt service requirements. A review of the proposed 2014 total levy is as follows: The proposed 2014 Capital Equipment Budget totals $206,218. The CHP Fund is supported by a combination of liquor operating profits, MSA revolving funds, water filtration interest earnings, the trade/sale of existing equipment and CIP Levy. Amount Increase/(Decrease) General Operating Levy $3,123,343 $0 CIP Levy $ 50,000 $0 Road Improvement Levy $1,776,580 $199,396 Lease Revenue Bonds $ 378,462 ($ 735) HRA Levy $ 153,597 $ 3,012 'Fax Abatement $ 151,025 $ 4,545 $5,633,007 $206,218 The proposed 2014 Capital Equipment Budget totals $206,218. The CHP Fund is supported by a combination of liquor operating profits, MSA revolving funds, water filtration interest earnings, the trade/sale of existing equipment and CIP Levy. 3 6 Page 2 The annual transfer of Liquor Operating Profits helps reduce taxes and provides funding for capital equipment. In 2014, Liquor Operations budgeted transfer of $239,244 to the General Fund and $108,200 to the Capital Equipment Fund. Without Liquor profits the General Fund levy would have increased by 7.6% increase, rather than the proposed 0% increase. To help offset the cost of operations and capital equipment, Staff will continue to seek Grants and Donations from Federal, State and private sources. At the September I Vi City Council meeting, Staff will again present the proposed 2014 Genera Operating Budget and Property "fax Levy to the City Council. At that meeting a resolution needs to be passed certifying the preliminary levy to Hennepin and Ramsey Counties by September 15°i. The final presentation of the 2014 General Operating Budget and Property Tax Levy is scheduled for the December 10"i, 2013, Council Meeting.
