Matt has submitted a request to resign as a Lieutenant and remain on the department as a regular firefighter. Staff recommends Council approve the resignation of Matt Drew as a Lieutenant on the Hugo Fire Department. G.6 Approve Retirement of Mark Koll from the Hugo Fire Department Firefighter Mark Koll was hired on November 3, 2003. After over 20 years on the Department, Mark has summited his letter of retirement. Staff recommends Council approve the retirement of Mark Koll from the Hugo Fire Department effective January 5, 2024. G.7 Approve Employment Status Change for Utility Billing Clerk Jodie Guareschi to Part- Time Status Jodie Guareschi has been the City of Hugo’s Utility Billing Clerk since June 17, 2002. Over the last year Jodie has been training Jennifer Compton on the utility billing process and now Jennifer is able to handle most of the day to day activates of utility billing. Jodie’s expertise is still needed on the more complex areas of utility billing and to provide clerical support in other areas of the Finance Department. With the shifting of duties, staff is requesting Council approve an employment status change to part-time for Jodie Guareschi effective January 1, 2024, at a rate of pay of $35.50 per hour, for 15 hours per week maximum. G.8 Approve Amendment to the Personnel Policy on Earned Safe and Sick Time A new law passed during the 2023 legislative session requires employers to provide employees with Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST). The new law becomes effective January 1, 2024, and applies to any employer with one or more employees and covers all employees including full- time, part-time, temporary, and paid on call firefighters. Under the law, employees earn, at a minimum, one hour ESST for every 30 hours worked. If an employee currently earns that amount or more under other paid leave, no additional time is required. Staff has reviewed the law and the options to meet the requirements and has found the City’s current Personal Leave for full-time employees exceeds the minimum standards. Part-time and temporary employees and paid on call firefighters will need to earn one hour to be used as ESST for every 30 hours worked. Staff has revised the personal policy to meet the requirements and recommends Council approve the revised Personal Policy to include the ESST law requirements. G.9 Approve Renewal of Term for Planning Commissioner Steve Andress The term for Planning Commissioner Steve Andress will expire on December 31, 2023. Steve indicated he would like to be reappointed for another four-year term.

All have indicated they would like to be reappointed for another three-year term. Staff recommends Council approve the reappointment of Mathew Rauschendorfer, Emily McGinnity and Alternate Member Jim Compton, Sr. for another three-year term on the Parks Commission to expire on December 31, 2028. G.11 Approve Renewal of Terms for Historical Commissioners Kathy Brevig and Craig Moen Terms for Historical Commissioners Kathy Brevig and Craig Moen will expire on December 31, 2022. Both have indicated they would like to be reappointed for another three-year term. Staff recommends Council approve the reappointment of Kathy Brevig and Craig Moen for another three-year term to expire on December 31, 2025. G.12 Approve Resolution on Statutory Tort Liability Limits In the late 1990’s the League of Minnesota Insurance Trust required each City that obtained liability coverage from them to decide whether or not to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of coverage purchased. Currently these limits are $500,000 per claimant and $1,500,000 per occurrence. At that time the City Council opted not to waive the statutory limits. LMCIT requires each member city to reaffirm their position on an annual basis. Staff recommends Council approve the resolution on statutory tort limits. G.13 Approve Resolution Certifying Delinquent Utility Accounts Annually, the Finance Department reviews all delinquent utility bills, which are the result of nonpayment or underpayment of water and sewer utility bills. In accordance with City Ordinance, Council is required to adopt a resolution to certify delinquent utility bills to the property tax rolls. Property owners who have not paid their outstanding utility bill will have it certified to the property tax rolls. City staff recommends Council approve the resolution certifying delinquent utility bills for placement on property tax statements. G.14 Approve Ordinance Establishing 2024 Fee Schedule and Publication of Summary Ordinance City staff annually reviews the schedule of fees, rates and charges and recommends changes. The Finance Department has reviewed these changes and incorporated them into the fee schedule for 2024. Staff recommends Council approve the ordinance authorizing the establishment of fees, rates and charges for 2024, and approve the summary ordinance for publication. G.15 Approve Resolution Setting 2024 Salary and Reimbursement Levels At the Mid-Year Budget Review Workshop, the City Council indicated their willingness to adjust the City’s salary matrix by 4.5% and to grant step increases to those employees who had not yet reached their pay grade maximums. Council approved the 2024 budget containing these adjustments at their December 4, 2023 Council Meeting. Thirteen of the City’s twenty-six full- time employees will receive step increases. The net aggregate dollar increase is $138,644 and the overall budget for employee wages will increase by 5.33%. Using state supplied software the Finance Department verified that the City will remain in compliance with Pay Equity Statutes. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution setting 2024 salaries for city employees and establishing reimbursement levels. G.16 Approve Washington County Sheriff’s Office Agreement for Law Enforcement Services The agreement with Washington County for law enforcement services expires at the end of the year. Washington County has provided a new agreement that reflects seven deputies, one sergeant, and one detective for the City of Hugo. The terms of the agreement will remain the same as the current agreement that was executed in 2022. Staff recommends Council approve the Agreement for Law Enforcement Services with Washington County Sheriff’s Office that will remain in effect for a period of two years. G.17 Approve MOU with Washington County to Opt-In for the Voter Operations, Technology, and Election Resources Account The 2023 Legislature established the Voting Operations, Technology, and Election Resources Account that will allocate $1.25 million to the MN Office of the Secretary of State annually to be distributed to counties. Counties then distribute allocated funds to municipalities by December 31st of each year, and Hugo’s share would be $823.50. These funds can be used for any purpose that is directly related to election administration including equipment. Staff would like to use these funds help purchase booths to replace old booths that are not longer functional. Staff recommends Council approve the Memorandum of Understanding to Opt-In for the Voter Operations, Technology, and Election Resources Account. G.18 Approve Lawful Gambling Exempt Permit for Forest Lake Ducks Unlimited for Banquet at Sal’s Angus Grill Forest Lake Ducks Unlimited has applied for a Lawful Gambling Exempt Permit to hold Bingo and raffles during their banquet on January 14, 2024, at Sal’s Angus Grill. The permit is issued by the MN Gambling Control Board after approval by the City Council. Staff recommends Council approve the Lawful Gambling Exempt Permit for Forest Lakes Ducks Unlimited.

The developer is requesting reductions in the letters of credit. The current letter of credit for the 6th Addition is in the amount of $251,903.62.

Public Hearing on the 2024 City Budget and Tax Levy State statutes required the City Council to hold a public hearing on the proposed City budget and tax levy for the 2024 fiscal year. Finance Director Anna Wobse presented the budget and tax levy to the Council prior to taking public comment. She began by explaining the City of Hugo received no Local Government Aid again this year and also would not in 2024. Hugo is one of 112 cities that do not receive any LGA, likely because the City’s tax rate is lower than state-wide average. She provided a 2023 tax rate comparison by using the median taxable value of a home in Washington County of $383,400. The average state-wide tax on that home would be $1,713. The same home in Hugo would be $1,385. Taxable market value saw a 12% increase for Pay 2024. She explained that as a property’s value increases, so do taxes owed on that home. Values had increased 7% for residents and 21% for commercial and industrial. Last year Pay 2023 saw a larger than normal property value increase and it was the consensus of the Council to deviate from the flat tax rate policy and allow for a decrease in the urban tax rate. Previously the Council had been operating on a flat tax rate policy and it was once again the consensus of the Council to prepare the 2024 Budget and Tax Levy reflecting the lower urban tax rate of 36.371%. This meant the proposed levy could not exceed $12,318,875. Council Meeting Minutes for December 4, 2023 Page 5 of 8 Wobse next reviewed the principal and interest payments on the City’s three bond issues that total $15,735,000. This equaled a debt load per capita of $962, much lower than the state-wide average of $1,943. The payments on these bonds would be $993,037 in 2024. Wobse recommended increasing the Street CIP Levy by $500,000 for a total levy of $1,660,000 in order to be able fund the recently updated five-year Street CIP. The largest piece of the levy was for the general fund operations. Wobse talked about the technique of contingency budgeting that had been used over the past 32 years that would assure that the budget would balance or there would be a surplus. This was cited by Standard & Poors as a favorable tool. There were 27 regular full-time employees in the 2024 budget. In addition, there were vacant community development assistant and accounting clerk positions, along with the new deputy clerk position that was added in 2023. The mechanics position was proposed to be reclassified to Pay Grade 6, and an increase to the audio video techs hourly rate was also suggested. The proposed budget contained a 4.5% cost of living adjustment and step increases for employees that had not reached their pay grade maximums. These changes added $131,885 to the general fund budget. Health insurance premiums increased by 7.68%, and Health Partners was not increasing their deductibles. Other increases included funds for ordinance revisions, emergency siren maintenance, training classes and small equipment purchases. Inflation was still a factor. For the sixth consecutive year, the budget contained $200,000 for budget stabilization. Wobse explained that property taxes fund the majority of the general fund budget. The City also received an annual distribution from the fiscal disparities pool. In 2024, the City would receive $887,514 from this pool, 7% of the City’s total levy. The County, using the City’s proposed levy, calculated the median value residential home would see a City tax increase of $100. She compared Hugo to other cities in Washington County and reviewed the other 13 different tax rates. She provided information on the Homestead Credit Refund and Special Property Tax Refund available to property owners. A Senior Citizen Property Tax Deferral program was also available to those 65 years or older. Mayor Weidt opened the public hearing. Dick Pickhartz, 14941 Empress Avenue North, said he had moved into a 33-unit townhome development, and he talked about the inequity on the roads that are not maintained by Hugo. He said the developer never explained that they were responsible for the roads. He wondered how long it had been a practice and how many were private roads. City Administrator Bryan Bear replied that there are many private roads in many communities, and it was very common in townhome communities. The city approves projects without public streets. Those streets are not constructed to the City’s streets standards and are the responsibility of the homeowners to maintain. Pickhartz said the City should not let them do that and should consider not allowing it. Rick Pratt, 14935 Empress Avenue North, said the City was taxing him the same amount as a home on a City of Hugo street, and that home had a street that was getting plowed and maintained. He questioned why they pay the same. Petryk explained the tax was based on the valuation of the home. She said she understood how he felt though private roads were a very common practice. He asked how much of his tax went towards roads. Weidt said they could Council Meeting Minutes for December 4, 2023 Page 6 of 8 get him that information. Pratt said the developer and the City benefit, and he was misled by the seller. Petryk pointed out that other residents are assessed when they get their roads done. Bear added that the system is a value-based system, not a user based. The level of service to each resident varies greatly. He said the process of approving developments can be talked about more, but there is a developer responsibility. Beyond that, the developer’s relationship is with the homeowner under a separate transaction that the City is not involved in. There were no more comments, and Weidt closed the public hearing.

City of Hugo Fire Department 5323 140th Street North Hugo, Minnesota 55038 PH: (651) 762-6362 FAX: (651) 429-3212 Memorandum To: City Administrator Bryan Bear From: City Clerk Michele Lindau Date: December 12, 2023 for City Council Meeting on December 18, 2023 Re: Earned Safe and Sick Time Law BACKGROUND A new law passed during the 2023 legislative session requires employers to provide employees with Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST). The new law becomes effective January 1, 2024. This law applies to any employer with one or more employees and covers all employees including part-time, temporary, and paid on call firefighters. REVIEW OF NEW LAW Under the new law, an employee earns, at a minimum, up to one hour of time off for every 30 hours worked, up to 48 hours each year. Cities that provide earned sick and safe time to employees under a paid time off policy are not required to provide additional earned sick and safe time, as long as the policy meets the same conditions or exceeds the minimum standard of the law. There are three options the City can choose from for accruing ESST: 1. An employee could be awarded one hour for each 30 hours earned. An employee would be required to work 80 hours prior to using any accrued ESST. The minimum amount an employee could accrue would be 48 hours. Hours can be carried over to the following year but the ESST bank could be limited to 80 hours. There would be no payout required. 2. An employee could be front-loaded 48 hours at the beginning of the year for immediate use. This option would require the employee to be paid for any unused ESST hours at the end of each year at the employee’s hourly rate. 3. Employee could be front-loaded 80 hours at the beginning of the year for immediate use. This option would not require the employee to be paid out at the end of the year for any unused ESST nor require any ESST hours to carry over into the following year. In addition to the accrual of ESST, the law specifies conditions for the use of ESST, and includes protection from retaliation, and benefit and return to work protections. Reasons for the use of ESST include when an employee is sick, to care for a sick family member or to seek assistance if an employee or their family member has experienced domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking. 2 CONCLUSIONS Full time employee – Staff has reviewed this new law extensively and finds the City’s Personal Leave Policy exceeds the required ESST hours for full-time staff. As such, the City’s Personal Leave amounts can remain the same for all employees. The timing of leave granted to employees within their first year of employment will be adjusted under the new policy. A new employee’s accrued Personal Leave Time would equal the current number of hours for the first year, but 40 hours would be granted to the employee on the first day of employment with the remaining 40 hours spread out after the first six months. No additional ESST will be accrued by full time staff. Part-time and Temporary Employees, and Paid On-Call Firefighters – Part-time and temporary employees, and paid on call firefighter should follow Option 1. Carry over amounts should be limited to 80 hours, and no payment of unused accrued ESST should be given. Elected Officials, Commissioners, Volunteers - This law does not apply. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends Council approve the amended Personal Policy as it relates to ESST to included the conditions as stated in the law and the accrual options as stated in the above conclusion for full-time, part-time, and temporary employees, and paid on-call firefighter. LEAVE BENEFITS 1.0 Personal Leave Time Personal Leave Time is granted to all regular, full-time employees of the City to maintain their physical and emotional well-being. Employees are encouraged to take Personal Leave Time in the year eligible, but are authorized to carry over and accumulate Personal Leave Time within the limits established in Section 3.0 a. All regular, full-time employees shall be credited Personal Leave Time every two weeks. b. Upon hiring, an employee will be granted 40 hours Personal Leave Time. c. An Employee’s anniversary date will be used to determine an employee’s duration of employment. Leave will be credited according to the duration of employment on the last day of the pay period as follows:   d. No Personal Leave shall be credited to an employee for periods when the employee has been on a lay-off or leave of absence without pay for a period of thirty days of more. e. Personal Leave, for periods of up to two weeks, may be taken with the approval of the employee’s department head. Longer periods of Personal Leave require the approval of the City Administrator. f. All periods of Personal Leave must be approved in advance, except in emergencies where the health or safety of a person is at risk. 2.0 Earned Sick and Safe Leave (ESST) Effective January 1, 2024, Sick and Safe Time is paid leave employers must provide to employees in Minnesota that can be used for certain reasons as stated in Section 2.0 (b). All employees working at least 80 hours in a year are eligible. At a minimum, an employee needs to be granted one hour of ESST for every 30 hours worked to a maximum of 48 hours of ESST per year. For the purposes of this policy, a year is a calendar year – January 1 to December 31. The hourly rate of ESST is the same hourly rate an employee earns from employment with the city. Duration of Employment Hours earned Annually Hours earned biweekly 0 - 1 year 80 3.08 after six months 1 years – 5 years 120 4.62 Over 5 years – 16 years 184 7.08 Over 16 years 200 7.70 a. Accruing Earned Sick and Safe Leave Full-time regular employees will not accrue additional ESST hours in excess of current Personal Leave Time accrual as the Personal Leave Time Policy exceeds the requirements of the ESST Law. For temporary, part-time, and on-call firefighter employees performing work for at least 80 hours in a year for the City, hours of ESST will be one hour for every 30 hours worked up to a maximum of 48 hours per year. b. Earned Sick and Safe Leave Use: The leave may be used as it is accrued in the smallest increment of time tracked by the city’s payroll system. Full-time, part-time, and temporary employees are tracked in .25- hour increments. Paid on-call firefighters are tracked in one-hour increments. ESST may be used as personal leave in addition to the following:  An employee’s own: o Mental or physical illness, injury or other health condition o Need for medical diagnosis, care or treatment, of a mental or physical illness o injury or health condition o Need for preventative care o Closure of the employee's place of business due to weather or other public emergency o The employee's inability to work or telework because the employee is prohibited from working by the city due to health concerns related to the potential transmission of a communicable illness related to a public emergency, or seeking or awaiting the results of a diagnostic test for, or a medical diagnosis of, a communicable disease related to a public emergency and the employee has been exposed to a communicable disease or the city has requested a test or diagnosis. o Absence due to domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking of the employee provided the absence is to:  Seek medical attention related to physical or psychological injury or disability caused by domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking  Obtain services from a victim services organization  Obtain psychological or other counseling  Seek relocation or take steps to secure an existing home due to domestic abuse, sexual assault or stalking  Seek legal advice or take legal action, including preparing for or participating in any civil or criminal legal proceeding related to or resulting from domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking  Care of a family member: o With mental or physical illness, injury or other health condition o Who needs medical diagnosis, care or treatment of a mental or physical illness, injury or other health condition o Who needs preventative medical or health care o Whose school or place of care has been closed due to weather or other public emergency o When it has been determined by health authority or a health care professional that the presence of the family member of the employee in the community would jeopardize the health of others because of the exposure of the family member of the employee to a communicable disease, whether or not the family member has actually contracted the communicable disease o Absence due to domestic abuse, sexual assault or stalking of the employee’s family member provided the absence is to:  Seek medical attention related to physical or psychological injury or disability caused by domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking  Obtain services from a victim services organization  Obtain psychological or other counseling  Seek relocation or take steps to secure an existing home due to domestic abuse, sexual assault or stalking  Seek legal advice or take legal action, including preparing for or participating in any civil or criminal legal proceeding related to or resulting from domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking c. For Earned Sick and Safe Leave purposes, family member includes an employee’s:  Spouse or registered domestic partner  Child, foster child, adult child, legal ward, child for whom the employee is legal guardian, or child to whom the employee stands or stood in local parentis  Sibling, step sibling or foster sibling  Biological, adoptive or foster parent, stepparent or a person who stood in loco parentis when the employee was a minor child  Grandchild, foster grandchild or step grandchild  Grandparent or step grandparent  A child of a sibling of the employee  A sibling of the parent of the employee or  A child-in-law or sibling-in-law  Any of the above family members of a spouse or registered domestic partner  Any other individual related by blood or whose close association with the employee is the equivalent of a family relationship  Up to one individual annually designated by the employee d. Advance Notice for use of Earned Sick and Safe Leave If the need for sick and safe leave is foreseeable, the city requires seven days’ advance notice. However, if the need is unforeseeable, employees must provide notice of the need for Earned Sick and Safe time as soon as practicable. When an employee uses Earned Sick and Safe time for more than three consecutive days, the city may require appropriate supporting documentation (such as medical documentation supporting medical leave, court records or related documentation to support safety leave). However, if the employee or employee's family member did not receive services from a health care professional, or if documentation cannot be obtained from a health care professional in a reasonable time or without added expense, then reasonable documentation may include a written statement from the employee indicating that the employee is using, or used, Earned Sick and Safe Leave for a qualifying purpose. The city will not require an employee to disclose details related to domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking or the details of the employee’s or the employee’s family member’s medical condition. In accordance with state law, the city will not require an employee using Earned Sick and Safe leave to find a replacement worker to cover the hours the employee will be absent. e. Retaliation prohibited The city shall not discharge, discipline, penalize, interfere with, or otherwise retaliate or discriminate against an employee for asserting Earned Sick and Safe Leave rights, requesting an Earned Sick and Safe Leave absence, or pursuing remedies. Further, use of Earned Sick and Safe Leave will not be factored into any attendance point system the city may use. Additionally, it is unlawful to report or threaten to report a person or a family member’s immigration status for exercising a right under Earned Sick and Safe Leave. f. Benefits and return to work protections During an employee’s use of Earned Sick and Safe Leave, an employee will continue to receive the city’s employer insurance contribution as if they were working, and the employee will be responsible for any share of their insurance premiums. An employee returning from time off using accrued Earned Sick and Safe Leave is entitled to return to their city employment at the same rate of pay received when their leave began, plus any automatic pay adjustments that may have occurred during the employee’s time off. Seniority during Earned Sick and Safe Leave absences will continue to accrue as if the employee has been continually employed. 3.0 Carry Over of PTO and Earned Sick and Safe Leave Full-time employees may carry over Personal Leave from year to year, but the total amount credited to any employee shall not exceed 520 hours at any time. Part-time, non-benefitted employees and volunteer firefighters are eligible for carry over accrued but unused Earned Sick and Safe time into the following year, but the total of Earned Sick and Safe Leave carry over hours shall not exceed 80 hours. 4.0 Separation of Employment Full-time employees leaving employment with the City shall be credited and paid for all Personal Leave then accumulated up to 520 hours. Personal Leave Pay shall be at the employee’s rate of pay on the last date of employment. Temporary, part-time, and on-call firefighter employees, upon separation of employment, will not be paid out for any previously accrued but not used ESST. When there is a separation from part-time employment with the City and the employee is rehired again within 180 days of separation, previously accrued Earned Sick and Safe Leave that had not been used will be reinstated. A part-time employee is entitled to use and accrue Earned Sick and Safe Leave at the commencement of reemployment. City Administrator may authorize payment in lieu of Personal Leave, up to a maximum of 520 hours, for employees leaving City service. Payment for the Terminal Leave shall be at the final, regular rate of pay for the employee concerned. 14669 Fitzgerald Avenue North, Hugo, MN 55038 • (651) 762-6300 • www.ci.hugo.mn.us TO: Honorable Mayor Tom Weidt and Members of the City Council FROM: Anna Wobse, Finance Director SUBJECT: Resolution Not to Waive Statutory Tort Liability Limits DATE: For the City Council Meeting of December 18, 2023 DESIRED COUNCIL ACTION Adoption of Resolution Not to Waive Statutory Tort Liability Limits HISTORY In the late 1990’s the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) required each city that obtained liability coverage from them to decide whether or not to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. At that time the City Council opted not to waive the statutory limits. LIABILITY IN EXCESS OF THE STATUTORY LIMITS The City of Hugo does purchase $2 million in excess of the statutory limits because the tort limits either do not or may not apply to the following types of claims:  Claims under federal civil rights laws.  Claims for tort liability that the city has assumed by contract.  Claims for actions in another state.  Claims based on liquor sales.  Claims based on a “taking” theory. Excess liability coverage is important to a small city. If a city ends up with more liability than it has coverage, the city will have to either draw on existing funds or go to its taxpayers to pay that judgment. REQUIREMENT TO WAIVE OR NOT TO WAIVE STATUTORY LIMITS Because the City purchases liability insurance in excess of statutory limits, LMCIT requires the City Council to decide whether or not to waive the statutory limits for those claims that are subject to such limits. Passage of a resolution not to waive the statutory limits provides a written record that the excess liability coverage will only apply to claims that are not subject to tort limits. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council pass a Resolution Not to Waive the Statutory Tort Liability Limits. ATTACHMENTS Resolution Not to Waive Statutory Tort Liability Limits RESOLUTION NO. 2023- A RESOLUTION NOT TO WAIVE STATUTORY TORT LIABILITY LIMITS WHEREAS, cities obtaining liability coverage from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust must decide whether or not to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. WHEREAS, statutory tort liability limits would apply regardless of whether or not the city purchases optional excess liability coverage. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF HUGO: 1. The City of Hugo does not waive the statutory tort liability limits. 2. Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.

FROM: Anna Wobse, Finance Director  SUBJECT: 2024 Fees, Rates and Charges  DATE: For the City Council Meeting of December 18, 2023      DESIRED COUNCIL ACTION    Adopt Ordinance Approving 2024 Fees, Rates and Charges    INTRODUCTION    In the fall of 2001, the City Council engaged the consulting firm of ISM, Inc., to undertake a study to determine if fees,  rates and charges were adequate to finance the proposed 2002 budget and five‐year Capital Improvement Program.   Specific attention was paid to fees charged as opposed to property taxes when there is not necessarily a direct benefit  to a majority of citizens.  In short, fees are paid by those who benefit most.  The fees included in the report considered  the past operating cost of each fund and department and allocated administrative costs appropriately.  Ultimately, the  City Council adopted a schedule of fees, rates and charges that were based upon the study.  Staff was instructed to  review these charges annually to ensure adequate reserves and fund balances.      Since the authority to establish the various fees is found throughout the municipal code, the City Attorney drafted and  the City Council adopted an ordinance that contained a comprehensive list of fees for easy reference.    In keeping with the City Council’s instructions, the Finance Department consulted with the various department heads  and drafted a recommended fee schedule for 2024.  The Finance Department offers the following with respect to each  different type of fee that is proposed to change.      PUBLIC WORKS RELATED  Fees for Public Works personnel and equipment charges were first added to the fee schedule in 2013 and were last  adjusted in 2020.   These are fees charged for a service performed that is over and above what is normally offered.   Staff is recommending an increase in the hourly rates to reflect updated employee wages and insurance costs.      UTILITY RELATED    The fees for various sized water meters and utility hardware have been updated to reflect manufacturer’s prices.      Staff is also recommending an increase to the fee charged for blocking access to water meters that are in need of repair  or need attention for other reasons.    MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES    Staff is recommending adding a service charge fee for disputed credit card transactions to the fee schedule.  This is a  fee charged to the City by our credit card processor when a customer disputes a credit card payment that they initiated.   If the error is on the customer side staff is recommending that it be their responsibility to cover the fee.    2024 Fee Schedule  Page 2    CONCLUSION   Staff is cognizant that fees cannot be excessive.  In fact, state law restricts the setting of fees in excess of the cost of  providing the corresponding service and in some instances the fees are contained in state statutes.  Staff has reviewed  each of our fees to ensure compliance with state restrictions.    To reiterate, the City Council directed staff to review these fees and recommend changes annually.  The Finance  Department recommends adoption of the fee schedule for 2024 as proposed and authorize the summary publication of  said ordinance.    ATTACHMENTS    Ordinance Setting 2024 Fees, Rates and Charges

14669 Fitzgerald Avenue North, Hugo, MN 55038   • (651) 762‐6300  •   www.ci.hugo.mn.us            TO: Honorable Mayor Tom Weidt and Members of the City Council  FROM: Bryan Bear, City Administrator  SUBJECT: 2024 Salary Resolution  DATE: For the City Council Meeting of December 18, 2023    DESIRED COUNCIL ACTION    Adoption of Resolution Setting 2024 Salaries and Employee Reimbursement Levels    CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION    At the August 30, 2023 Mid‐Year Budget Review Workshop, the Finance Department suggested that the City’s salary  matrix be adjusted by a 4.5% cost of living increase and that employees who had not yet reached their paygrade  maximums be granted step increases.  During the 2024 budget process the City Council indicated their willingness to  include these adjustments in the 2024 budget.  Council approved the 2024 budget containing these adjustments at their  December 4, 2023 Council Meeting. After consulting with Department Heads, and with the assistance of the Finance  Department, the City Administrator hereby submits the attached salary resolution for City Council consideration.    SALARY ADJUSTMENTS    The proposed resolution incorporates the Council’s previous actions and direction to staff as stated above.  Thirteen  (13) of the City’s twenty‐six (26) full‐time employees will receive step increases.  The net aggregate dollar increase due  to a 4.5% cost of living adjustment equals $117,074.  The overall net aggregate dollar increase, including the cost of  living adjustment and step increases, equals $138,644, of which $114,533 is contained in the general fund budget.  The  remainder is included in the water and sewer operating fund.  The overall budget for employee wages will increase by  5.33%.  It is worth noting that the Community Development Assistant and Accounting Clerk positions are currently  vacant and therefore, these positions appear on the salary resolution at the corresponding pay grade minimum.    FIRE DEPARTMENT OFFICER SALARIES    Hugo’s first ever full‐time Fire Chief started November 20, 2023 and one of their initial priorities is to determine if the  current officer positions need to be restructured. The 2024 salary matrix contains all of the current officer positions and  based upon the Chief’s recommendations these positions and salaries may be adjusted throughout the year.          FIRE DEPARTMENT RETENTION PLAN    Ten years ago, the Fire Department implemented a retention program designed to provide an incentive for firefighters  to remain in the department for at least ten years.  This program increased the hourly rate of pay by $0.50 for each  firefighter that completed at least 5 years of service.  The hourly rate of pay for those that qualified would increase an  additional $0.50 per hour, each year, until years of service reached ten. The program has been successful and last year  the Fire Chief has asked that the hourly rate of pay for those who qualify be increased by an additional $0.50 per hour.   The salary resolution contains a provision whereby firefighters who have completed at least 5 years of service (but less  than ten) on the department as of 01/01/2024 will receive an additional $1.00 per hour.             2024 Salary Resolution  Page 2    FIRE DEPARTMENT CONFERENCE PAY    In an effort to encourage attendance at recognized fire organization sponsored conferences, the Fire Chief is  recommending that each firefighter be paid $163 per day (or a pro‐rated portion thereof for less than a full day) for  attending these conferences.    These conferences include, among others:      1) Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Association annual conference  2) Arrowhead Fire Officers annual conference  3) Duluth Fire Officers annual conference  4) Arrowhead EMS annual conference  5) Regional State Fire conferences    It is the Fire Chief’s opinion that these conferences keep the department membership informed of the most recent  advances in firefighting techniques as well as allow the firefighters to make important connections with other  departments.    MEAL REIMBURSEMENT    The maximum reimbursement levels for meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) when an employee’s duties keep them  away from their home and the corporate limits of the City during normal meal hours were previously contained in the  City’s Personnel Policy and had not been adjusted since 2011.  Thus, staff recommended that the salary resolution  provide for these reimbursement levels rather than the Personnel Policy.  These levels are based on rates published  annually by the federal General Services Administration (GSA).  The resolution reflects the rates for the Minneapolis/St.  Paul metropolitan area.  Reimbursement for travel to destinations outside this area will be based on the GSA’s  published rates for that particular destination.   Costs for meals above these levels will not be reimbursed.    INSURANCE COVERAGES    The salary resolution provides for group health and dental insurance coverage for full‐time employees and their  dependents at no cost to the employee.  Short‐term and long‐term disability insurance coverage is provided for full‐ time employees.  The City does not offer employer paid life insurance coverage.  Life insurance coverage may be  purchased through the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) via payroll deduction.    COMPARABLE WORTH COMPLIANCE    These adjustments will continue to allow the City to be in compliance with Pay Equity Statutes.  Pay equity, or  comparable worth, is a standard that has been written into state law and applied to the public sector.  The law  specifically requires that cities develop and administer compensation systems that establish and maintain equitable  relationships between female‐dominated and male‐dominated job classes.  Our compensation system was found to be  in compliance by the Minnesota Department of Employee Relations in 2023 and will be reviewed again in January,  2026.  Using the state provided software staff ran the statistical analysis test with 2024 salary data and confirmed that  the proposed salaries will keep our compensation system compliant with pay equity guidelines.    ATTACHMENTS

Purchase of Bearcat Debris Loader DATE: For the City Council Meeting of December 18, 2023 BACKGROUND Public Works staff is seeking Council authorization for the purchase of a Bearcat debris loader (see attached picture) to assist crews in the cleanup of leaves and soft vegetation debris from the landscaped areas of City owned property. Picture, if you would, a debris blower that is similar in idea to a wood chipper. The debris loader is towed behind a small dump truck with a debris box on the back. The truck pulls up alongside a pile of leaves that have been collected from city property. The operator uses the blower to vacuum up the pile and blow the leaves into the back of the truck. This piece of equipment saves labor and time by increasing the efficiency of fall clean - up activities. If approved by the City Council, this mower would be purchased using the Mn /DOT Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV) contract assuring that the City of Hugo will receive the best price available while providing us with the necessary options to choose from. DESIRED ACTION Staff recommends the City Council authorize the purchase of a Bearcat Debris Loader and trailer kit as outlined in the quote from L.T.G. Power Equipment in the amount of $9,003.60.
