Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Dawn Skelly, Communications Coordinator
SUBJECT: 2020 State of the City Meeting
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$1,000 N/A EDC
Council Should Consider
Staff is requesting City Council review and provide feedback on the second draft revision of the
slide presentation and a corresponding narrative/script for the Mayor’s delivery of the State of the
City address. The draft presentation and narrative will be provided prior to the meeting. In addition
to placing the presentation video on the city’s website, would the Council like the address to be
aired on Channel 16 at various times or a specific time?
Background
At its June 8 Special Work Session the Council expressed concerns regarding the presentation
length and level of detail, as well as the format style. It was determined that the Mayor would
deliver the address in the Council chambers with slides as visuals. Staff revised the presentation
draft and developed a corresponding narrative. The presentation was shortened to approximately
10 minutes.
A follow-up conference call with CTV will be held prior to the Council Work Session and details
will be provided at the work session.

AGENDA ITEM – 1B
MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 15, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Lake Johanna Fire Department Station Cities Agreement Discussion
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
For Council Consideration
The Council may consider providing further feedback on the draft three city agreement regarding
the Lake Johanna Fire Department station search.
Background
At its May work session, the City Council received an update regarding the status of the Lake
Johanna Fire Department’s search for a future station location, the memo from that work session
is attached for additional background (see Attachment A). At that meeting, Staff said they would
bring back a draft of the agreement between the three cities, Arden Hills, North Oaks, and
Shoreview, that would outline the responsibilities of each city should the fire department move
forward with the property acquisition.
Since the May work session, the LJFD Board of Director’s authorized the fire chief to move
forward with signing a purchase agreement for the property, the purchase agreement did not
change from the one presented to Council in May (it is included in Attachment A). The fire
department is currently in its due diligence phase, and will have sixty days from when the
preliminary plat is approved to close on the land. The preliminary plat has been submitted by
Bethel, and was approved by the Planning Commission (7-0) and will move to the Council for
review on June 22, 2020.
Prior to closing on the land, the cities will need to have agreed upon their respective
responsibilities with regards to the land acquisition and future responsibilities regarding
development. Attached is a draft agreement that outlines how each city will participate (see
Attachment B). It is important to remember the City is part of the Lake Johanna Fire Department
Board where Arden Hills has one vote, North Oaks has one vote and Shoreview has two votes.
There are no plans at this time for moving forward with station construction, the department is
only focused on land acquisition. The major points of the draft agreement that Council will need
to provide staff direction on are:
Financing
For the land acquisition – at the time of closing, each city will need to provide their respective
share of the purchase price of the land, and, in the future, their portion of the cost to move the
road. The price of the land is $1,350,000 and the cities’ share of the road realignment will not
exceed $325,000. The fire department is also recommending to use $300,000 of their General
Fund dollars to offset the cost of the land and road, for a net cost to the cities of $1,375,000.
Arden Hills share of this would be twenty-five percent, or $343,750. North Oaks and
Shoreview’s share would be fourteen percent and sixty-one percent, or $192,500 and $838,750,
respectively. It is recommended by staff to use a portion of the City’s excess General Fund
balance following the 2019 audit to pay its share of the land cost (the total amount available is
$478,000).
For future station construction – the draft agreement does not bind the City to a particular
financing method, but outlines two options. Should the cities agree to not have Arden Hills
finance the entire project, likely through bonding, then each city would need to come up with its
share of the cost to construct a new station at the time it is needed. The other option would be to
have Arden Hills finance the project, likely through bonding, and have each city pay its portion
of the debt service to the City annually. If the cities were interested in repaying themselves for
the land acquisition through the bond proceeds, there is a three year timeline to finish the station
from when the land is purchased; however, given the previous discussions and uncertainty
surrounding the timeline of construction, it is unlikely the cities would be able to reimburse
themselves for the land acquisition.
If the City were to bond for the entire project, it could anticipate an estimated $178,000 in
issuance cost, assuming a $10,000,000 project (please note this number is purely for illustrative
purposes and does not represent a true project estimate). The City of Arden Hills share of this
cost would be $44,500 ($178,000 x 25%). If each city were to bond individually, it is estimated
Arden Hills issuance cost would be $73,000, or $28,500 more for the City than if it had bonded
for the entire project. It does not appear that there is a significant difference in total principal
and interest costs between the two options for any of the cities due to the size of the issue.
Other notes regarding the financing. The City of Arden Hills and Shoreview are both AAA
rated, meaning each city may receive favorable interest rates, it is unclear what North Oaks’
bond rating is. Should each City bond individually, they would only be responsible for their
respective interest costs, not a blend of rates.
The Council does not need to make this decision tonight; however, if one of two financing
options is not palatable, the City will want to make the other two cities aware.
Timeline of Construction
The timeline of construction is unknown, the fire department is only looking to purchase the land
at this point. Currently, an arbitrary date stating construction will begin by June 30, 2025, is in
the draft agreement; this would bind the cities to begin construction by that date, unless
otherwise mutually agreed upon. This particular item is complicated in that the LJFD Board
would actually vote to move forward with construction, which would be especially difficult
without the cities consent as they would finance the project. The City Council may keep the
current language, move the date sooner or later, or get rid of the language all together.
Development Fees
At its last work session, the Council briefly discussed charging development fees. The current
draft agreement outlines that the City would charge all of its customary development fees,
including park dedication fees, approximately $100,000 (7.5 percent of fair market value of the
unimproved land). When the City reviews the preliminary plat application from Bethel, it is
noted as part of the development agreement that park dedication fees will be charged at the time
of development. Note, all fees would also be charged to the other parcel adjacent to the proposed
fire department property. The Council could discuss the fees at tonight’s work session, or leave
the language as is and discuss at the time of development.
Budget Impact
In the near term the budget impact of the draft agreement would be for the purchase of the land,
which would be approximately $343,750 for Arden Hills. If the City were to use a portion of the
excess fund balance to pay its share of the land acquisition, then the Public Safety Capital Fund
would not be affected. However, future financial planning would need to be done to finance the
construction of a future fire station, and this planning would happen as part of the City’s CIP
process.

Attachment B: Draft Three City Agreement for Future LJFD Station
DATE: May 18, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Lake Johanna Fire Department Proposed Station Location Update
Budgeted Amount: Estimated Amount: Funding Source:
N/A $417,000 Public Safety Capital Fund
Council Should Consider
Council will be provided an update on the Lake Johanna Fire Department’s activities relating to
the proposed station and the Anderson Center property negotiations. Staff will also be seeking
Council input on a future agreement between the three cities on moving forward with the future
station location.
Discussion
Chief Boehlke of the Lake Johanna Fire Department will be present to provide an update on the
discussions with Bethel University and their negotiations to acquire a piece of property adjacent
to the Anderson Center on Pine Tree Drive (see Attachment A). The Chief is providing an
update to ensure issues or concerns are addressed early in the process, this remains a fire
department project. Please note that the university is planning on splitting the northern piece of
their property into two parcels, the fire department is only pursuing the parcel closer to Pine Tree
Drive.
The Lake Johanna Fire Department has served Arden Hills, Shoreview, and North Oaks since
1943, and serves approximately 42,000 residents today. The department responded to 3,820
calls in 2019 and is expecting to surpass 6,000 calls by 2026 due to pending development
projects. The department has evolved from a Paid-On-Call (POC) department to a mix of career
positions and 24/7 duty crews, totaling approximately eighty firefighters. The 24/7 duty crews
allow firefighters to respond quickly from their respective stations increasing their effectiveness
and shortening response times. As the department continues to evolve, a needs study was
commissioned by the board of directors to assist in future planning.
The needs study was conducted by Buetow 2 Architects and found the fire department did not
have adequate space or facilities and noted several shortcomings with Station 4 (3615 Victoria
St, Shoreview) including, but not limited to, (a) it was not designed for full-time staffing; (b) the
trucks were smaller when the station was designed; (c) no room for expansion; (d) no support
AGENDA ITEM – 1B
MEMORANDUM
spaces or additional storage spaces; and (e) no training or de-contamination spaces. The study
recommended the fire department construct a new station with adequate space and facilities to
last the department for the next fifty years and close Station 4. The study highlighted the new
station should be at least three to four acres, able to accommodate six drive thru bays, and
include training, support, and administrative offices. The recommended location was between
Lexington Ave and Snelling Ave along County Road E. The fire department researched
potential locations, and based on its size, location, and current development status, highlighted
the property to the north of the Anderson Center as its first choice. A copy of the needs study is
available on the City’s website under the proposed station’s webpage
(https://www.cityofardenhills.org/1005/Proposed-Fire-Station-Location). Additional information
regarding the project and FAQ’s can also be found on the development page. At the direction of
the board of directors, the fire department began discussions with Bethel about potentially selling
a piece of their property to the fire station.
The university was open to selling a piece of their property and hired a real estate consultant to
assist them in the negotiations. Following negotiations, a letter of intent (LOI) was reached
between the fire department and Bethel, which outlined major points in the deal, and now the
department is seeking to move forward with a purchase agreement (see Attachment B). The
purchase agreement is being brought forward to the Lake Johanna Board of Directors on May 20,
2020 for discussion and potential direction to have the fire chief move forward.
The major points of the Purchase Agreement are:
-The fire department will purchase the land for $1,350,000.
-The fire department will pay 1/3 or $325,000, whichever is less, of the cost to relocate the
current access road for the Anderson Center.
-The fire department will have a sixty-day contingency period following the approval of the
preliminary plat by the City of Arden Hills and the approval of the access road by the City and
the Rice Creek Watershed District.
-Bethel will request the City waive its traditional park dedication fees for the fire department
proposal.
Should a purchase agreement be reached, the cities would be responsible for funding their
respective portions of the purchase price and road cost. Generally, the cities fund the fire
department’s operating and capital costs based on a formula that is used in the budgeting
process; for Arden Hills this currently equates to 25%, with Shoreview and North Oaks being
responsible for 61% and 14%, respectively. Based on that formula, Arden Hills would be
responsible for $417,000 assuming the purchase price and the maximum amount for the road
relocation, which could be less depending on final costs (this does not take into account a
potential $300,000 contribution from the fire department’s General Fund which is discussed
below).
It is worth noting that the fire station is only seeking to acquire the property at this stage, timing
of construction for a future station has not been approved by the board of directors or vetted by
the three cities.
The City represents one vote on the LJFD Board of Directors, there are also representatives from
the cities of Shoreview and North Oaks, as well as, the fire department. If the board directs the
fire department to sign the purchase agreement, then the process would continue and the fire
department would continue with their due diligence of the site.
If the board does direct the fire department to move forward, below are next steps on the land
acquisition:
• Board directs Fire Chief to sign the purchase agreement
• Bethel University works with the City on a preliminary and final plat to subdivide the
northern piece of their property into two parcels
• Following approval of a lot split and if the fire department and Bethel come to an
agreement, the fire department would take ownership over their parcel
• Future fire station construction would be at the direction of the board of directors
City Staff will also be seeking direction on proceeding with a future agreement between the three
cities on the mechanics of moving forward with the property acquisition. Below are questions or
points of discussion raised between the City Administrators/Managers. Staff does not need final
direction tonight, but an agreement would be brought forward between the three cities for
approval before the fire department closes on the property.
Items for discussion:
• Paying for the land: each City will pay for their respective portion based on the formula
the fire department currently uses for the budgeting process. The fire department has
suggested using $300,000 from the fire department’s General Fund, which would help
offset the cost of the land acquisition (approximately $75,000 in savings for Arden Hills).
• Bond issuance: when the construction for the fire station moves forward, Arden Hills
could bond for the entire project, which would save on overall issuance costs and the
three cities could take advantage of the city’s bond rating to obtain a lower interest rate.
The total cost of the project, including issuance costs, would be split between the cities
based on the aforementioned formula. Depending on the mechanics of the issuance, each
City may be able to roll their cost for the land into the bond issuance and refund
themselves with the bond money, spreading the cost of the land acquisition over the
duration of the bond. The other option is to have each city individually bond for their
portion of the project, but this could lead to higher overall costs for the project due to
additional issuance costs, varying interest rates, and there may be concerns from other
cities about bonding for a project outside of their city.
• Bond repayment: the bond issue will be repaid through annual appropriations by each
city consistent with the cost share formula.
• Municipal fees: Arden Hills may waive park dedication fees for the fire department
parcel. The city may consider other fees to include the Building Permit Fee, Plan Review
Fee, etc.
• Development approvals: the City of Arden Hills will provide necessary development
approvals for the construction of a fire station when needed.
• Timing of construction of a new station: the timeline of construction has not been
identified, however, if the city decided to refund its cost for the land acquisition through
bond proceeds, it would need to have a completed station within three years of the
expenditure of the land purchase. It has also been discussed whether the three cities want
to set a date for construction to begin, such as, June 30, 2022 (or another mutually agreed
upon date).
Budget Impact
The funding for the land acquisition would come from the City’s Public Safety Capital Fund,
which had a negative fund balance of $5,198 at the end of 2019. This fund is primarily
supported by property taxes ($70,000) and charitable gambling revenues ($23,000 est.). While
long-term financial planning needs to be done to prepare for the construction of a future fire
station, the City is expecting approximately $478,000 in excess General Fund fund balance
following the 2019 audit. This amount would normally be transferred to the PIR Fund, however,
this amount could be transferred to the Public Safety Capital Fund and used for the City’s share
of the land acquisition. If the Council is not supportive of using the excess General Fund fund
balance, then an interfund loan could be used to pay the City’s share of the land acquisition. The
projected fund balances for the Public Safety Capital Fund are below. Please note that this does
not include any excess fund transfers, land acquisition costs, or future fire station costs:

Ending Balance 20,322 61,612 (48,498)(92,098)(100,978)(32,978)
It is normal for fund balances to fluctuate between positive and negative as long as funds are
sustainable in the long-term.

written notice from Buyer to Seller. Upon such termination, the Earnest Money shall be
immediately returned to Buyer, and neither party shall thereafter have any further rights
against or obligations to the other hereunder, except as expressly provided otherwise

AGENDA ITEM – 1C
MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 15, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Gayle Bauman, Finance Director
SUBJECT: 2021 – 2025 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A Various
Council Should Consider
Provide feedback to staff on Preliminary 2021 – 2025 CIP Plan.
Background
Annually, the City prepares a five (5) year Capital Improvement Plan for budgeting and forecasting.
The focus of the CIP is on the maintenance and protection of the City’s existing assets,
redevelopment, and investment in new initiatives. The CIP is part of the budget process, but it is
not a budget, it is a plan, and one that changes often. The CIP does not commit the council to the
proposed projects, nor implement the assumptions made during the preparation; however, this is
the basis for the 2021 Budget as we continue with its preparation.
The city has a finite amount of resources, so prioritizing and then being able to finance projects is
crucial for ensuring the city’s long-term sustainability and being responsible stewards of the city’s
investments. Staff has been working on completing a comprehensive study of the City’s current
and future needs for infrastructure projects to better estimate project costs and ensure more accurate
forecasting of available fund balances.
Discussion
A preliminary plan has been prepared and is attached which includes a summary of projects, sources
of funds, and estimated fund balances (since the operating budgets have not yet been completed,
these fund balances are estimated operating costs). Project detail information is not included at this
time as we are focusing on cash flow rather than detailed descriptions. Information is included on
street and park projects going out ten (10) years even though our CIP is only for five years. Please
note that project timelines are subject to change and that the current timeline is City Staff’s best
estimate.
The 2020-2024 CIP was a $15.3 Million plan, while the proposed 2021-2025 CIP is listed for $15.7
Million in expenditures. This is a 3.1% increase from the previous year’s program or $475,838.
The biggest change is found in street projects.
PIR Fund
• The city has about $112.4 million of streets and trails. Estimating the useful life of these
assets at 40 years would require an investment of about $2.8 million annually. The current
funding sources of the tax levy, Municipal State Aid and special assessments account for
about $1.1 million on average per year. This gap in the CIP fluctuates from year-to-year, but
will need to be addressed over time. The fund balance was just over $6 million at the end of
2017 and is projected to drop to $770,000 by the end of 2025.
• A property tax levy of $250,000 is being proposed for 2021, which is unchanged from 2020.
• The city has been able to self-finance the special assessment portion thus far. However, with
the cost of these projects increasing, we may need to eventually look at bonding for the
special assessment portion of street projects. Current projections do not include any
prepayments of special assessments.
• There is a definite need to stay on top of street improvement projects to ensure streets reach
their useful lives and don’t require costly premature full reconstructions. Several areas of the
city are reaching those crucial ages that significant outlay is needed to ensure the long-term
vitality of the streets.
• The Snelling Ave. road project (County Road E to Highway 51) is scheduled to proceed in
2022 but the round-a-bout was separated out as its own project and isn’t scheduled until 2026.
• The two trail projects (Mounds View High School and Snelling Avenue N) for which state
funding is being requested, are not currently included in the CIP. Information has been added
to the bottom of the Sources and Uses for the PIR Fund to show the potential impact of these
projects if they are approved for state funding.
Public Safety Capital Equipment Fund
• The fund is currently being used to account for capital expenditures made by the Lake
Johanna Fire Department.
• It is proposed to utilize a transfer from the General Fund in 2020 to cover the city’s cost of the
land for the new fire station.
• The assumption being used for this CIP is that debt service on the new fire station will begin
in 2025 at $195,000 per year and continuing for 15 years. This could be decreased to
$155,000 if we were to bond for 20 years. Property tax levy increases are proposed for the
years 2021-2025 with a final total levy increase of $225,000.
• Major vehicle purchases are projected to occur in 2026, 2027 and 2028. LJFD will need to
reevaluate their need and look at spreading these costs out over a longer period of time to
level off the funds needed from contract cities.
Equipment & Building Replacement Fund
• The current plan includes $350,000 for HVAC equipment in 2020 and $300,000 for the city
hall parking lot in 2021.
• The long-term asset management plan for equipment has not yet been completed so purchases
are only scheduled out for 5 years.
Utility Funds
• The City conducted a rate study in 2017-2018 to address utility rates and financing further
Enterprise Fund operations. The assumptions used for these cash projections includes the rate
increases proposed in the study. The adopted rate increases may differ from the study
because they are based on an analysis of actual operations and updated estimates. For
example, the 2020 rate increase for water and sewer was 3% even though the rate study
recommended 6.5%.
• Public Works staff continues to evaluate the condition of City utilities throughout the
community. The majority of street projects currently include a minimum amount for isolated
utility repairs. Staff will complete a comprehensive review of the utility systems to identify
locations where broader water, sanitary sewer and drainage replacement is needed. This will
increase the forecasted capital expenses for the utility funds.
Budget Impact
The Council should review the estimated fund balances and funding sources with special attention
given to the Permanent Improvement Revolving (PIR) Fund, Equipment Building Replacement
Fund, and the Public Safety Capital Fund.

AGENDA ITEM – 1D
MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 15, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Feasibility Report for the 2021 PMP Project
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$2,500,000 $3,807,000 PIR, Water, Sanitary Sewer, Surface
(2020-2024 CIP) (anticipated) Water, State Aid, Special Assessments
Council Should Consider
City Council direction is requested regarding five project related items prior to completion of the
Feasibility Study for the 2021 Pavement Management Program as described below.
Background
On April 27, 2020, the City Council ordered the preparation of a feasibility study for the 2021 PMP
project including street and utility improvements within two areas depicted on Attachment A. Area 1
is the Hazelnut Park/Glenpaul Neighborhood and Area 2 is a portion of Lake Valentine Road. The
study is nearing completion and staff intends to distribute a copy of the report well in advance of the
regular City Council meeting to allow sufficient time for review and consideration.
The report will include specific recommendations regarding the scope of improvements, project costs,
funding sources, proposed assessments, and a project delivery schedule. Staff is seeking direction from
the City Council regarding the following five key issues prior to presenting the final report for
consideration.
1. Lake Valentine Road: Road improvements to Lake Valentine Road have been included within
the 2021 PMP project description as part of the City’s past Capital Improvement Programs. The
pavement condition along Lake Valentine Road is generally considered fair with signs of pavement
deterioration. A resurfacing overlay would typically be implemented to preserve the roadway after
25 years since full reconstruction in 1995. However, the pavement is exhibiting distress in the
form of lateral cracking along with minor rutting along the wheel paths. Lateral cracks along the
road are heaving or tenting at isolated locations during the winter months as moisture infiltrates
under the pavement, freezes, and creates intermittent bumps.
Page 2 of 4
Four core samples were collected along Lake Valentine Road as part of a recent pavement forensic
analysis. The analysis indicates that recycled aggregate material in the road base may be the root
cause of the formation of cracking as well as the tenting of the transverse cracks. Full depth
reclamation (FDR) is recommended as a long-term fix to this problem. The scope of a full depth
reclamation along with the additional effort to address the aggregate base material has significantly
increased the cost of the proposed improvements from the original scope of a standard overlay.
Based on the above information, staff is recommending that improvements to Lake Valentine Road
are not included in the proposed 2021 PMP Street and Utility Improvements. While the tenting
that occurs along isolated lateral cracks degrades the ride quality during the winter, the existing
pavement has valuable remaining service life compared to other deteriorated street segments in the
City. Staff recommends that street improvements for Lake Valentine Road be rescheduled for the
year 2028 and that further analysis be conducted to determine the full extent of necessary repairs to
the aggregate base material under the pavement.
Council Direction: Does the City Council support changing the schedule for street improvements
along Lake Valentine Road to the year 2028 as proposed in the draft CIP?
2. Extent of Water Main and Sanitary Sewer Reconstruction: The existing lateral sanitary sewer
system within the Hazelnut Park Neighborhood was lined in 2013 and remains in good condition
based on recent inspections. Proposed sanitary sewer improvements include resetting manhole
castings, minor manhole repairs, and repairs to sanitary sewer services at 19 locations as shown on
Attachment B, where root intrusion or damaged service connections were noted during sewer
inspections. The project cost estimate includes expenses for installing a cured in place pipe (CIPP)
liner within the 21-inch diameter sanitary sewer along Prior Avenue and within Hazelnut Park,
which has been in service for approximately 60 years.
Existing water main along Edgewood Avenue and the west portion of Jerrold Avenue consists of
ductile iron pipe installed in 1977 and is proposed to remain in-place. Water main within the
neighborhood does not have a history of water main breaks based on City records. Removal and
replacement of water main along Edgewood and Jerrold would require removal of a significant
portion of the existing curb, which is in good condition. Future replacement of this water main
would be more cost effective when the roadway is due for full reconstruction.
Water main along the east portion of Jerrold Avenue and the full length of Glenpaul Avenue is
recommended to be replaced with the improvements as shown in Attachment C. This work would
include replacement of all gate valves, fittings, hydrants, water services and curb stops.
Council Direction: Does the City Council have questions or concerns regarding the proposed
extent of utility replacements described above?
3. Prior Avenue Assessments: The proposed improvement area includes a segment of Prior Avenue
extending from County Road D to Jerrold Avenue. There are no residential properties within the
improvement area having a street address on Prior Avenue. The City of Arden Hills Assessment
Policy states that “All R-1 and R-2 residentially zoned properties with frontage abutting a street
that is reconstructed shall be assessed on a per unit basis at the residential equivalent assessment
rate.” The policy further states that “Corner lots shall be assessed on the street that is used for the
mailing address.” Assessment rate calculations are being completed with the assumption that
Page 3 of 4
street costs associated with Prior Avenue are being funded by the PIR Capital fund and not by
assessments.
Council Direction: Does the City Council have concerns that funding for Prior Avenue is 100%
by the PIR Capital Fund?
4. Street Section Options: The City Council had previously requested that staff consider two
options for reconstruction of Glenpaul, Prior Avenue, and the east portion of Jerrold Avenue to
evaluate opportunities to reduce project costs and special assessments for the project. Option 1
includes installation of curb and gutter along with associated storm sewer drainage improvements.
Option 2 consists of street reconstruction without curb, gutter or a significantly expanded drainage
system. The cost estimate for Option 2 does not include construction of drainage ditches along the
edge of the roadway. Typical street sections for both options are provided in Appendix D.
Detailed project cost estimates are provided in Appendix E.
Estimated project costs for these two street improvement options along with a preliminary estimate
of unit assessment amounts are provided in the following tables.
Option 1 – Estimated Project Cost with Full Curb and Storm Sewer

Sanitary Sewer Improvements $536,775
Water Improvements $679,959
TOTAL $3,806,519
*Data is preliminary for initial consideration and not a final recommendation
Option 2 – Estimated Project Cost with Minimal Curb and Storm Sewer
Total Project Assessment Assmt REU
Cost Amount Units Amount
Street Improvements - Edgewater and West Jerrold $346,170 $173,085 58 $2,984
Street Improvements - Glenpaul and E Jerrold $1,156,525 $578,263 80 $7,228
Street Improvements - Prior Avenue $369,296
Drainage Improvements $418,430
Sanitary Sewer Improvements $536,775
Water Improvements $679,959
TOTAL $3,507,155
*Data is preliminary for initial consideration and not a final recommendation
Council Direction: While Option 1 has a higher initial cost, the addition of storm sewer and curb
would reduce long-term deterioration due to freeze/thaw cycles and would likely result in a lower
overall life cycle cost. Can the City Council provide guidance regarding the preferred option at this
time?
Page 4 of 4
5. Project Delivery Schedule: Staff anticipates the final feasibility report will be included on the
City Council Regular Meeting agenda for July 13, depending upon direction provided by Council
during this work session. A final draft of the report can be provided to Council members at least
one week prior to the meeting for review.
One critical path item that will highly influence the project delivery schedule is hiring an
engineering consultant to prepare the plans and specifications for the project. Staff is
recommending that a Request for Proposals (RFP) be issued within the next two weeks to begin the
selection process for a project consultant.
Council Direction: Does the City Council have objections or concerns if staff issues a RFP for
engineering services for the project within the next two weeks? Proposals would be evaluated and
presented to the City Council in July for consideration.
Financial Impact
The proposed schedule change for Lake Valentine Road to the year 2028 would allow the City to
utilize the remaining service life of the pavement and release approximately $455,000 of PIR funds for
street segments currently experiencing more severe deterioration. The cost estimates for the Hazelnut
Park/Glenpaul Neighborhood indicate a potential short-term savings of approximately $300,000 if
Glenpaul, east Jerrold and Prior Avenues were reconstructed without curb and gutter. However the
potential decrease in service life of the pavement may outweigh the short term cost benefit.

AGENDA ITEM – 1E
MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 15, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Pavement Resurfacing by Public Works Department Staff
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$130,000 TBD Street Maintenance Operating (101)
Council Should Consider
City Council direction is requested regarding future pavement resurfacing overlay work conducted by
in-house staff within the Public Works Department.
Background
The City Council has previously expressed an interest in the Public Works Department conducting
additional street resurfacing work by department staff. The Department is certainly willing to conduct
paving work. Existing staff has sufficient experience operating paving equipment to successfully
complete small street section projects.
One item to consider prior to the City proceeding with future in-house paving projects is the consistent
application of the City’s Assessment Policy for resurfacing overlay work for larger projects that are
completed under construction contracts. The demand for future pavement overlay work is projected to
exceed the annual paving capacity of staff. The Department’s current annual paving capacity is
estimated to be approximately 4,000 square yards per year.
A copy of the City’s Assessment Policy is provided in Attachment A. Part 1 of the policy addresses
assessments for overlays and reconstruction projects.
The Public Works Department is seeking direction from the City Council regarding the application of
special assessments for future street overlay work conducted by City forces. The Department is also
seeking direction if the Council would prefer to include in-house bituminous overlay work on the
existing City trail system, which typically does not involve special assessments.
Page 2 of 2
Financial Impact
The 2020 operating budget (101-Street Maintenance) includes $250,000 for sealcoating and
resurfacing work. The 2020 Street Maintenance contract for sealcoating and crack sealing work was
awarded in March 2020 in the amount of $120,000, leaving approximately $130,000 for material,
equipment rental, and trucking for resurfacing overlay work in 2020.

2004 Assessment Policy
General Information
The City of Arden Hills has adopted a revised Assessment Policy for its existing streets that
are part of the Pavement Management Program (PMP )).. The PMP is a long-term, multi-year
plan that consists of proposed reconstruction and repair of the city’s streets. The goal and
intent of this policy revision was to simplify and make the process easy to understand and
implement. The Policy was drafted by a group of local citizens who served on the City’s
2004 Assessment Policy Task Force. This Policy document is divided into two parts. Part I
deals with existing streets and Part II deals with new developments.
Part I – Assessment Policy for Existing Streets
The purpose of this assessment policy manual is to establish procedures to be utilized by the
City of Arden Hills when preparing assessment rolls, so as to assure uniform and consistent
treatment of the affected properties.
Minnesota State Law, Chapter 429 provides that a municipality shall have the power to make
public improvements such as sanitary sewers, storm sewers, water source and distribution
facilities, street improvements including grading, curb and gutter, surfacing, sidewalks, street
lighting and recreational facilities, etc. The various procedures that the municipality must
follow including reports, notices and public hearings are well defined within the law.
The Statute further defines that the cost of any improvement may be assessed upon property
benefited by the improvement based upon the benefits received whether or not the property
abuts on the improvement and whether or not any part of the cost of the improvement is paid
from other funding sources. The law is not specific on how these benefits are to be measured
or how the costs are to be apportioned, but rather makes it incumbent upon the municipality
to determine with assistance of the City Engineer, City Attorney, appraisers or other qualified
personnel, a fair and equitable method of cost-sharing among the properties involved.
Throughout this policy manual, the total cost of an improvement shall include the
construction cost, plus all associated overhead costs. The total cost of the associated
overhead for a public improvement project would typically include the following as a
percentage of the construction costs:
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 2
City Administration 2.5%
Design Engineering
Construction Engineering
10.0%
10.0%
Legal 2.0%
Fiscal 3.0%
Interest During Construction 4.5%
Assessment Roll Preparation 1.0%
Contingencies 4.0%
TOTAL 37.0%
These overhead costs are estimates however; they are used to calculate actual assessments.
The initiation of public improvement projects may happen utilizing two (2) different
methods. The first method is by a petition of the affected property owners. The petition
must be signed by not less than thirty-five percent (35%) of the owners of the frontage of the
real property abutting the proposed improvements .. It should be noted that the City Council
retains the right to review the merits of each project or improvement and establishes the
priority as it deems proper. The second method is to initiate the proceedings by City Council
direction, in which case no petition is needed.
Any reference to land zoning in this policy manual shall mean the most current approved
City Zoning Map available at the time. It should be emphasized that the special assessment
methods and policies summarized herein cannot be considered as all-inclusive and that
unusual circumstances may at times justify special consideration. Also, any fixed cost data
and rates presented herein will be adjusted from year to year so as to reflect current costs.
The City Council shall retain the right to review each project on its own merit and to deviate
from any portion of this Assessment Policy Manual, as it deems proper. These deviations
may occur in unique situations or where application of the policy produces unfair or
undesirable results.
The City of Arden Hills utilizes a Unit Cost methodology for the assessment of existing
residential homes on a per-lot unit basis, with a lot unit being defined as a platted single-
family residential lot or equivalent, which, according to current Arden Hills Municipal Code
cannot be further subdivided for R-1 and R-2 residential use. The City will assess fifty
percent (50%) of the total charges, as assessment, to the residents for existing roadways.
Generally, no assessments are made to the residents for sanitary sewer, water, and storm
water that are part of the PMP.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 3
Street Reconstruction
A. Residential Equivalent Assessment Rate
All R-1 and R-2 residentially zoned properties with frontage abutting a street that is
reconstructed shall be assessed on a per unit basis at the residential equivalent assessment
rate.
This rate shall apply, regardless of the street's classification (local, collector, arterial, trunk
highway); designation (County State-Aid Highway, Municipal State-Aid Street); or
jurisdiction (State, County or City).
The residential equivalent assessment rate shall be based on fifty percent (50%) of the total
cost of street reconstruction, including all associated overhead costs for a typical residential
street section. This residential equivalent assessment rate shall be determined by the City
Council.
B. Commercial Equivalent Assessment Rate/All Other Zoning Classifications
Assessment Rate
Commercial properties with frontage abutting a street that is reconstructed shall be assessed
on a per unit basis at the commercial/industrial equivalent assessment rate. The per unit basis
is calculated based on the average neighborhood unit size, particularly in a mixed (residential
and commercial) neighborhood. Larger sized commercial lots may be sub-divided into
smaller units for assessment purposes and to ensure equity.
This rate shall apply, regardless of the street's classification (local, collector, arterial, trunk
highway); designation (County State-Aid Highway, Municipal State-Aid Street); or
jurisdiction (State, County or City).
The commercial/industrial equivalent assessment rate shall be based on seventy percent
(70%) of the cost of street reconstruction plus all associated overhead costs for a typical
commercial street section. This commercial/industrial equivalent assessment rate shall be
determined by the City Council.
C. Tax Exempt (non-profits, churches, schools, organizations, groups) Equivalent
Assessment Rate
The tax exempt equivalent assessment rate shall be based on one hundred percent (100%) of
the total cost of street reconstruction, including all associated overhead costs for a typical
residential street
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 4
section. This assessment rate shall be determined by the City Council. All properties with
frontage abutting a street that is reconstructed shall be assessed on a per unit basis at the tax
exempt equivalent assessment rate.
This rate shall apply, regardless of the street's classification (local, collector, arterial, trunk
highway); designation (County State-Aid Highway, Municipal State-Aid Street); or
jurisdiction (State, County or City).
Mill and Overlay Improvements
Mill and overlay improvements are placed as a cost-effective measure to extend the useful
street life of a particular roadway and to delay street reconstruction needs. As bituminous
mill and overlays are constructed as long-term rehabilitation improvements, the cost of these
improvements shall be assessed as described below.
From time to time, however, the City's Operations and Maintenance Department may
determine that small street areas need immediate bituminous overlay improvements for short-
term maintenance purposes. These types of bituminous overlays, determined to be "stop
gap" maintenance needs rather than long-term street rehabilitation improvements, shall not
be assessed to abutting properties and shall be funded by the City.
A. Residential Equivalent Assessment Rate
All R-1 and R-2 residentially zoned properties with frontage abutting a street that is overlaid
with bituminous surfacing shall be assessed on a per unit basis at the residential equivalent
assessment rate.
This rate shall apply, regardless of the street's classification (local, collector, arterial, trunk
highway); designation (County State-Aid Highway, Municipal State-Aid Street); or
jurisdiction (State, County or City).
The residential equivalent assessment rate shall be based on fifty percent (50%) of the cost of
bituminous overlay plus all associated overhead costs for a typical residential street section.
This residential equivalent assessment rate shall be determined by the City Council.
B. Commercial/Industrial Equivalent Assessment Rate
All commercially or industrially zoned properties with frontage abutting a street that is
overlaid with bituminous surfacing shall be assessed on a unit basis at the
commercial/industrial equivalent assessment rate.
This rate shall apply, regardless of the street's classification (local, collector, arterial, trunk
highway); designation (County State-Aid Highway, Municipal State-Aid Street); or
jurisdiction (State, County or City).
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 5
The commercial/industrial equivalent assessment rate shall be based on seventy percent
(70%) of the cost of a bituminous overlay plus all associated overhead costs for a typical
commercial street section. This commercial/industrial equivalent assessment rate shall be
determined by the City Council.
C. Tax Exempt (non-profits, churches, schools, organizations, groups) Equivalent
Assessment Rate
All tax exempt properties with frontage abutting a street that is overlaid with bituminous
surfacing shall be assessed on a per unit basis at the tax exempt equivalent assessment rate.
This rate shall apply, regardless of the street's classification (local, collector, arterial, trunk
highway); designation (County State-Aid
Highway, Municipal State-Aid Street); or jurisdiction (State, County or City).
The tax exempt equivalent assessment rate shall be based on one hundred percent (100%) of
the cost of bituminous overlay plus all associated overhead costs for a typical residential
street section. This tax exempt equivalent assessment rate shall be determined by the City
Council.
Alley
All reconstruction shall be assessed 50% to the abutting properties. The assessment shall be
on a per unit basis for the property frontage on the alley.
Appurtenances
Appurtenances such as sidewalks, street lighting, trees, or other landscaping features are
often encountered during street improvement projects. Appurtenances to new street
construction, street reconstruction, or bituminous overlay improvements that are either
existing or needed by the City shall be included in the cost of the street improvement project.
Appurtenances constructed or provided in areas along an improvement project where they do
not currently exist, shall be one hundred percent
(100%) assessed to the benefiting properties on a per unit basis. The cost of these
appurtenances shall be separated from the cost of the street improvement project. All costs
of ornamental street lighting and/or any lighting shall be one hundred percent (100%)
assessed to the benefiting properties on a per unit basis.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 6
Maintenance/Rehabilitation Projects
Concrete Pavement Restoration – Concrete pavement restoration is a maintenance procedure
funded by the City.
Crack Sealing – Crack sealing is a maintenance procedure funded by the city.
Bituminous Seal Coating – Bituminous seal coating is a maintenance procedure funded by
the City.
Bituminous Surface Patching – Bituminous surfacing patching is a maintenance procedure
funded by the City.
Definitions & General Provisions
A. Assessment Rate
The assessment rate for any special assessment district is computed by dividing the total
assessable costs of such improvement by the total number of assessment units.
Residential Example:
Roadway Project Cost $601,000
Drainage Improvements $205,000
Sanitary Improvements $245,000
Water Main Improvements $38,000
Total Project Cost: $1,089,000
Assessed to Property Owners:
Roadway Project Cost $601,000
50% assessed $300,500
Number of units in the neighborhood 60
Per Unit Assessment: $300,500 divided by 60 equals $5,008
B. Assessable Costs
The assessable cost of an improvement shall be defined as those costs that, in the opinion of
the City Council, are attributable to the need for service in the area served by the
improvement.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 7
C. Petition
Petition shall mean a written document presented to the City Council for purpose of initiating
a public improvement project. The address of each signatory, the date of the signature and a
printing of each signatory's name shall accompany all signatures.
D. Total Project Cost
Total project cost shall mean the total estimated construction cost plus all associated
overhead costs. Overhead costs shall include, but not be limited to, City administration,
engineering, legal, fiscal, and interest during construction and land acquisition.
E. Assessment Period
The length of payment period of various types of improvement projects shall be as follows:
▪ Mill and Overlay = 5 years
▪ Street Reconstruction = 10 years
In the case where several areas of the improvements listed above are included in the same
project, the assessment period shall be determined by the City Council. In no event shall an
assessment period exceed ten (10) years.
F. Municipal State-Aid Streets
Municipal State-Aid Streets are routes designated by the City Council and approved by the
Commissioner of Transportation for inclusion in the City's State-Aid system. All routes
typically begin and end on another municipal state-aid road, county state-aid road, or trunk
highway.
The criteria used in selecting such routes are as follows:
▪ The route is projected to carry a relatively heavier traffic volume or is functionally
classified as collector or arterial as identified on the City's functional plan as
approved by the City Council; and,
▪ The route connects the points of a major traffic interest within the City; and,
▪ The route provides an integrated street system affording, within practical limits, a
state-aid street network consistent with projected traffic demands.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 8
G. Municipal State-Aid Construction Funds
Municipal State-Aid construction funds are monies apportioned to the City from the State to
be used for the construction of routes designated on the Municipal State-Aid system. All
construction funded with these monies must be in accordance with the Minnesota
Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Office of State-Aid design criteria.
Municipal State Aid (MSA) Funds will be utilized to offset the city’s portion of the project
cost.
H. Interest Rate on Unpaid Balance
The interest rate used for the assessment shall be designated at the prime rate plus two (2)
percentage points, fixed for the duration of the outstanding balance. The effective date of the
interest shall be the date the Council approval of the assessment role.
I. Land Not Included in Assessment
The City may reserve the right to delete land within the assessable area from the assessment
roles if, in its opinion, the land cannot be developed and/or the improvement does not
provide benefit. No development of that property shall be permitted, nor shall any physical
connection to the City's utility or drainage facilities be made by any development on that
property until the assessment or connection fees are paid.
J. Service District
A service district is the area, as determined by the City Engineer and approved by the City
Council, which will receive benefit from a proposed improvement project. This type of
approach for assessment purposes is typically used for trunk and subtrunk sanitary sewer
projects; trunk, subtrunk, source, storage and treatment water projects; and trunk storm sewer
projects.
K. Certification of Assessment Roll
At the time the assessment rolls are adopted by the City Council by resolution (refer to
Appendix for a sample resolution), the property owner may pay the entire assessment against
their property in full at Arden Hills City Hall, 1245 W. Highway 96, within thirty (30) days
without interest charge. Beyond thirty (30) days, but prior to certification to the County,
payment (principal plus interest from the assessment roll date) can be made at the City Hall.
After the certification of assessment to the County is made, a resident may make a payment
directly at the Ramsey County Government Center, 50 Kellogg Boulevard, St. Paul. Interest
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 9
charges apply effective from the date of Council approval of the assessment role. It should
be noted that the certification is made to the County in early September.
A property owner may pay the total assessment against their property with accrued interest at
any time during the life of the project assessment period.
If paid before November 15th, interest is calculated to December 31st of the year the
payment is made. If paid after November 15th, interest will be calculated through December
31st of the next year.
Once the assessments are certified to the County, it is the responsibility of the County staff to
calculate the interest charges and include them in the annual property tax payment schedule.
Example:
Assessment Amount $4,500
No. of years assessed 10
Interest Rate 6%
Assessment Roll Approval Date 5/1/2005
Est. Total Interest over the life $1665
Schedule of Payments:
Interest Principal Total Balance
Year 1* $ 450.00 $ 450.00 $ 900.00 $4,050.00
Year 2 $ 243.00 $ 450.00 $ 693.00 $3,600.00

$1,665.00 $4,500.00 $6,165.00
* Note: Interest in year 1 is for twenty (20) months (May 1 ,2005 – December 31, 2006).
1. Ad Valorem Tax
The City Council may, at their discretion, utilize ad valorem taxes to fund
portions of the project cost of any public improvement. This shall be done in
accordance with the appropriate Minnesota State Statutes.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 10
2. Petition for Non-Programmed Projects
The City of Arden Hills has established a formal capital improvement
program for street reconstruction and rehabilitation projects. It is the intent of
the City to generally follow this established program. The Arden Hills City
Council will accept petitions from property owners requesting non-
programmed projects. Generally, the assessment rate for non-programmed
improvement projects initiated by petition of the affected property owners,
and approved by the Council, shall be one-hundred percent (100%) of the total
project cost.
3. Improvements to Roadways Not Under City Jurisdiction
The City may assess properties that abut roadways not under City jurisdiction,
but receiving reconstruction or bituminous overlay improvements. The
assessment rate levied against these properties shall be the same as those
established for City reconstruction or bituminous overlay projects.
Assessment Units
The City shall levy special assessments on adjacent benefiting properties for street
improvement projects. The assessment rate shall be computed on a per-lot unit basis, with a
lot unit being defined as a platted single-family residential lot or equivalent, which,
according to current Arden Hills Municipal Code cannot be further subdivided for R-1 and
R-2 residential use.
If a property has been assessed on a lot unit basis for a public improvement, and
subsequently a property division is made creating additional lot units, then a supplemental
charge shall be made to the property at the same rate which applied under the original
assessments.
All tax exempt status properties shall be subdivided to determine the assessable lot units or
part thereof.
Corner lots shall be assessed on the street that is used for the mailing address.
If a street improvement project is requested to be constructed to a greater width and/or
thickness than the standard by the abutting property owners, the excess cost above that of the
standard reconstruction cost shall be assessed one hundred percent (100%) to those
properties.
All properties with tax exempt status and abutting new street reconstruction, street
reconstruction, or bituminous overlay improvements shall be assessed at one hundred percent
(100%) of the cost of the improvement.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 11
The assessment process shall be carried out in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter
429. The assessment rate shall be on a per-lot unit basis and shall be calculated and processed
in accordance with the current Arden Hills Pavement Management Program and Assessment
Policy.
Hardship Deferrals
Minnesota Statute No. 435.193 allows the City, at its own discretion, to defer the payment of
any assessment for any homestead property, that is a primary place of residence, owned by a
person sixty-five (65) years of age or older, or retired by virtue of a permanent and total
disability for which it would be a hardship to make the payments. Under the hardship criteria,
no payment amount is reduced or eliminated, but deferred to a future date. Eventually, a
payment in full with interest will be due to the City/County.
The person filing for a senior deferment must be sixty-five (65) of age on or before
December 31st of the assessment year.
In order to receive such a deferment, the affected person must establish the economic
hardship that would be incurred to the reasonable satisfaction of the Arden Hills City Council
by providing documentation showing an annual gross income less than fifty percent (50%) of
the Ramsey County median household income as determined by the most recent census.
The deferral will last for a period of not more than ten (10) years, and will terminate before
ten (10) years if any one of the following conditions is present:
▪ The owner of the property dies and the spouse is not eligible for a deferment;
▪ The property is sold;
▪ The property is no longer homestead;
▪ The City Council determines that there is no longer hardship incurred in immediately
requiring either full or partial payment of the assessment.
The City reserves the right to periodically request verification of continued eligibility for a
hardship deferral.
It should be noted that during the term of the deferral, interest will accrue. At the termination
of the deferral period, interest and principal will be due in a lump sum amount.
An application for deferment of special assessments is available at the City Offices. It is the
responsibility of the resident to submit a completed deferral form, along with tax documents,
to the Finance Director for approval. This application must be filed within 30 days of the
assessment role. The submission of a deferral form to the City does not automatically qualify
a resident for the deferral. If a resident is approved for the deferral, the City staff will notify
the resident of the approval. The City staff on a periodic basis may request the resident to
verify their eligibility.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 12
Appeals Process
An owner of the property has the opportunity to appeal the assessment amount at various
stages of the assessment process. The first stage is when the assessment amount is initially
estimated by staff based on the interpretation of the existing Assessment Policy. If the
estimate was based on inaccurate or incomplete information, the owner may work directly
with staff to clarify or rectify the situation.
If the owner is not satisfied with the outcome at this stage, known as the first stage, they may
file a formal appeal with the City Council, prior to the adoption of the assessment roll. This
is known as the second stage of the appeal’s process.
If the appeal is denied by the City Council, the owner may appeal to the district court
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.081, by serving notice of the appeal to the
Mayor or the City Administrator within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 13
Part II – Policy for New Developments
The assessment policy for anyone who wishes to make public improvements within the City
of Arden Hills, as part of a proposed development shall conform to the policies established
herein and as modified below. It is the responsibility of the developer to assume total costs
(100%) for all new road and street construction including, lights, sanitary sewer, water, and
storm water.
Prior to any action on the part of the City to determine the feasibility of providing public
improvements, the developer shall deposit such amount as determined by the City
Administrator to adequately reimburse the City for all engineering, legal and planning, and
other consultant fees for work performed in regard to such improvements.
In addition, the developer shall be required prior to the City ordering the installation of any
City financed improvements, to enter into a Development Contract insuring compliance with
the policies set out herein and all subdivision requirements of the
City. The developer shall also be required to post all cash deposits, and/or letters of credit
prior to such action by the City Council. In all projects that the City constructs and finances,
the following security provisions shall apply.
A. For single family, two family or townhouse residential developments, the developer
shall deposit with the City a cash escrow or an irrevocable letter of credit of not less
than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the estimated project cost as
determined by the City Engineer. If the estimated project cost, as determined after
receipt of bids for construction, exceeds the Engineer's estimate by ten percent (10%)
or more, the deposit shall be increased proportionately. The total project costs shall
be assessed in equal annual installments according to the assessment period.
B. In the case where the improvements benefit not only the property being developed,
but other areas within the City, the developer shall provide to the City a security
deposit in accordance with paragraphs described above for the portion of the
estimated project costs that represent the benefit to the proposed development. Such
portion shall be assessed against the properties benefited.
For all other types of development, the developer shall deposit with the City a cash
escrow or irrevocable letter of credit of not less than one hundred twenty-five percent
(125%) of the estimated project cost as determined by the City Engineer. If the
estimated project cost as determined after receipt of bids for construction exceeds the
Engineer's estimate by ten percent (10%) or more, the deposit shall be increased
proportionately. The total project costs shall be assessed in equal annual installments
according to the assessment period.
The security deposit shall be irrevocable for the full term of any assessments for
which given. The agreement shall be so conditioned as to guarantee payment of the
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 14
assessments as due or to pay for the cost of all improvements that the developer
agreed to install.
The required security deposit may consist of a cash escrow deposit or irrevocable letter of
credit, in form acceptable to the City Attorney, and with firms authorized to do business in
the State of Minnesota.
Sanitary Sewer
A. Definitions and General Provisions
1. Sanitary Sewer Interceptors
A network of relatively large diameter, deep sewer pipe and associated
pumping stations and appurtenances. The interceptors are designed as
collectors for large areas within the sanitary sewer service area.
2. Sanitary Sewer Trunks and Subtrunks
Sanitary sewer pumping stations, including associated forcemain and/or a
network of gravity pipes ranging in size generally from ten inch (10") through
eighteen inch (18") and extending away from respective interceptor mains.
Pumping station, forcemains, trunks and subtrunks are designed as collectors
for areas usually less than three hundred (300) acres. Because sewer lines flow
by gravity, the pipes can become quite deep at some locations and very costly
to install. A trunk or subtrunk assessment is, in certain cases, utilized so that
costs due to extra depth (and/or oversizing) will be spread over the entire
service district rather than becoming a burden on just those properties abutting
that portion of the pipe network constructed.
3. Sanitary Sewer Laterals
A network of pipes, usually eight inch (8") in size that are installed eight (8)
to twenty (20) feet deep and are designed to serve those buildings abutting a
given street or easement. The laterals drain to trunks, subtrunks or directly to
interceptors.
4. Sanitary Sewer Building Services
Those pipes, usually four-inch (4") or six-inch (6") in size leading from
laterals (or sometimes from trunks, subtrunks and interceptors) that serve
individual buildings. The services are plugged at the property line until such
time that a building is connected to the sewer system. The property owner
must make arrangements with a licensed, bonded plumber to complete the
service connection.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 15
5. Sanitary Sewer Availability Charge (SAC)
This is a charge billed to all properties at the time of connection to the sanitary
sewer system. The charge is the individual property share of the cost of the
interceptor trunk and treatment facilities that make sewer service available.
The charge is based on an equivalent unit basis. The method used to calculate
the total number of units for any specific property and the current unit charge
are based on the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) for
expected sewage flow from various
dwellings or businesses. A listing of the MCES sewer availability charges is
available on the Metropolitan Council website: www.metrocouncil.org. This
charge may not be assessed against the property.
6. Sanitary Sewer Lateral Benefits
Lateral benefit may be provided by connection to trunk, subtrunk or lateral
pipes. The calculation of lateral benefit from a trunk or subtrunk pipe will be
based on the cost of an eight inch (8") pipe along the same alignment at a
depth adequate to provide services to the abutting properties.
7. Infrastructure Rehabilitation Projects
Any project or portion of a project that reconstructs an existing sanitary sewer
facility. A rehabilitation project may occur on the existing alignment of the
sewer line or on a new alignment, thus allowing the existing line to be
abandoned or its status downgraded (i.e., trunk or subtrunk to lateral).
B. Determining Sanitary Sewer Assessment Rates
1. Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Rates
All properties that lie within the approved Service District shall bear the cost
of sanitary sewer interceptor projects. The costs shall be spread equally,
based on a gross area basis within the Service District, and will be known as
an interceptor assessment.
2. Sanitary Sewer Trunk/Subtrunk Rates
The lateral and building service assessments described below will be deducted
from the total improvement cost to be assessed. The amount remaining after
said deductions will be assessed on a gross area basis to all propertied within
the Service District, and will be known as a trunk assessment and/or subtrunk
assessment.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 16
3. Sanitary Sewer Lateral Rates
The building service assessments described below will be deducted from the
total improvement cost to be assessed. The amount remaining after said
deductions will be assessed by the following method. The resulting
assessment will be known as a lateral benefit assessment.
Each assessable unit shall be assessed as follows:
▪ R-1 and R-2 residential lots at 100% of the total project cost
▪ All other land uses at 100% of the total project cost
4, Sanitary Sewer Building Service
The assessment rate for each size of building service; four inch (4"), six inch
(6"), or eight inch (8") shall be determined by adding all the costs associated
with each size of service and dividing by the total number of services
constructed. Each unit will be assessed at the determined rate for each size
and number of services installed. This will be known as the building service
assessment.
Water Distribution System
A. Definitions and General Provisions
1. Water Source and Treatment Facilities
The City of Arden Hills purchases water from the City of Roseville to supply
the water distribution system. Water enters the system at three (3) separate
meter stations.
The water purchased from Roseville is treated, and Arden Hill does not add
any water treatment to the distribution system.
2. Water Storage Facilities
The City of Arden Hills has a total water storage capacity of 1.5 million
gallons comprised by two (2) elevated storage tanks. One tank has a capacity
of 1.0 million gallons and is located south of I-694 along Red Fox Road. The
other storage tank has a capacity of 0.5 million gallons and is located north of
I-694 along Fernwood Avenue.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 17
3. Water Trunk and Subtrunk Distribution Mains
A network of pipes and related appurtenances usually in the size range of ten
inch (10") to sixteen inch (16"). These pipes are designed to carry large
volumes of water and interconnect various point sources of water supply and
storage reservoirs. Appurtenances to these facilities would include valves and
fittings, but not fire hydrants.
4. Water Main Laterals
A network of water pipes and related appurtenances usually six inches (6") or
eight inches (8") in size that are installed with approximately eight feet (8') of
ground cover to retard freezing and are designed to serve those buildings
abutting a given street or easement. Lateral mains are "looped" wherever
possible to balance pressures and to provide water from at least two (2)
directions so that continuous water service is maintained for most people
during a water main break. Looping of lateral mains eliminates dead end
water mains that cause a variety of distribution and stagnation problems.
Appurtenances to these facilities would include valves, fittings and fire
hydrants.
5. Water Main Building Service
These pipes lead from laterals (or sometimes from trunk and subtrunk mains)
and serve individual buildings abutting thereon. The size of the service
usually ranges from three-quarter inch (3/4") to six-inch (6"), depending upon
the type of building served. The lines terminate at the property line with a
shut off valve and are plugged until such time that the building is connected to
the water system.
The property owner must make arrangements with a licensed, bonded plumber
to complete the service connection.
6. Water Connection Charge
This is a charge billed to all properties at the time of connection to the water
system. The charge is the individual property share of the cost of the trunk,
source, and storage facilities that make water service available. The charge is
based on the size of the connection, plus the material and installation cost of a
water meter. The current charges are outlined in the City Fee Schedule.
Neither of these charges may be assessed against the property.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 18
7. Water Main Lateral Benefits
The benefit resulting to a property abutting or utilizing a water main where a
direct connection to that water main via a building service is reasonably
possible without additional lateral pipes.
Lateral benefit may be provided by connection to trunk, subtrunk or lateral
pipes. The calculation of lateral benefit from a trunk or subtrunk pipe will be
based on the cost of an eight inch (8") pipe along the same alignment for
commercial or industrial zoned property and a six inch (6") pipe for all other
areas.
8. Infrastructure Rehabilitation Projects
Any project or portion of a project that reconstructs an existing water system
facility. A rehabilitation project may occur on the existing alignment of the
water line or on a new alignment, thus allowing the existing line to be
abandoned or its status downgraded (i.e., trunk or subtrunk to lateral).
B. Determining Water Main Assessment Rates
1. Trunk, Subtrunk, Storage and Treatment Facility Rates
Any lateral and building service assessments described below will be
deducted from the total improvement cost to be assessed. The remaining costs
shall be spread equally to all properties that lie within the approved Service
District. The costs shall be spread on a gross area basis and will be known as
all or any of the following as appropriate: trunk, subtrunk, source, storage, and
treatment assessment.
2. Water Main Lateral Rates
The building service assessments described below will be deducted from the
total improvement cost to be assessed. The amount remaining after said
deductions will be assessed by the following method.
▪ R-1 and R-2 residential lots at 100% of the total project cost
▪ All other land uses at 100% of the total project cost
3. Water Main Building Service
The assessment rate for each size of building service three-quarter inch (3/4")
to eight inch (8") inch shall be determined by adding all the costs associated
with each size of service and dividing by the total number of services
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 19
constructed. Each unit will be assessed at the determined rate for each size
and number of services installed. This will be known as the building service
assessment.
Storm Sewer
A. Definitions and General Provisions
1. Storm Sewer Improvement District
The City Council may, at its discretion, construct and finance storm sewer
improvements by utilizing a storm sewer tax district, pursuant to Minnesota
Statute 444.16 through 444.21.
2. Storm Sewer Trunk Facilities
a. Ponds
A basin or wetland constructed or naturally located within a permanent
easement for the purpose of containing storm runoff. May be a
retention (permanent) pond; detention (temporary) pond; or a
combination of both. Arden Hills is within the Rice Creek Watershed
District (RCWD), which may require additional improvement to
control flow discharge from the ponds. The RCWD has a formal
permitting process governing pond construction.
b. Pipe Network
A network of pipes ranging in size generally from thirty inches (30")
through seventy-two inches (72"). The trunk pipe networks are
designed to collect stormwater runoff from an area generally larger
than forty (40) acres.
3. Channels, Ditches and Swales
Conveyance network constructed within permanent easements for the
purposes of transporting stormwater runoff.
4. Storm Sewer Lateral Facilities
A network of pipes ranging in size generally from twelve inches (12") to
twenty-seven inches (27") designed to collect stormwater runoff from a
specified small area to a trunk facility. The lateral facilities also include street
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 20
overland flow and inlet structures such as catch basins, manholes and flared
end sections.
5. Storm Sewer Taxing District
A drainage area determined by using topographical maps and surveys that
mutually benefit from storm sewer improvements in conformance with
Minnesota Statute, Section 444.16 through 444.21
6. Watershed District
A formally established area and Board that protects and controls the water
management aspects of subdivisions and developments within the region.
B. Determining Storm Sewer Assessment Rates
1. Storm Sewer Trunk Rates
Design and estimate the total improvement cost of the ultimate trunk system
needed to provide complete service to each property in the Service District
considered. Also, include the total cost of any existing facilities and/or
previous storm sewer assessments to be credited.
Determine the base assessment rate by dividing the ultimate system cost
described above by the sum total of the following:
▪ Gross area of low-density residential properties times 1.0.
▪ Gross area of medium and high density residential, church and
school properties times 1.25.
▪ Gross area of commercial property times 1.5.
▪ Gross area of industrial property times 2.0.
Assessment rates would be set as follows:
▪ The base rate shall apply to low density residential properties.
▪ The base rate times 1.25 shall apply to medium and high-
density residential, church and school properties.
▪ The base rate times 1.5 shall apply to commercial property.
▪ The base rate times 2.0 shall apply to industrial property.
Credits may be given for previous storm sewer assessments, existing systems
and any future additional construction that may be necessary as determined by
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 21
the City Engineer for complete service to each property. Credit rates for
future construction shall be based on current prices.
The City may determine that storm sewer trunk cost be assessed to all
properties within a respective storm sewer taxing district under Minnesota
Statute 444.16 through 444.21
2. Storm Sewer Lateral Rates
The lateral storm sewer project costs will be assessed by one of the following
methods as determined by the City Council after the project feasibility study.
3. Lot/Equivalent Lot Basis
Determine the total number of lots and equivalent lot units receiving lateral
benefit and divide the project cost equally among them.
▪ R-1 and R-2 residential lots at 100% of the total project cost
▪ All other land uses at 100% of the total project cost
B. Municipal State-Aid Construction Fund Contributions
When a Municipal State-Aid Street project includes either trunk or lateral storm sewer, which
the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) determines may be funded by
Municipal State-Aid construction funds, the amount determined to be actually funded by
MnDOT may be deducted from the total improvement costs to be assessed.
C. Infrastructure Reconstruction Projects
Any project or portion of a project that reconstructs an existing storm sewer system facility.
A reconstruction project may occur in the existing alignment of the storm sewer pipe or on a
new alignment, thus allowing the existing line to be abandoned or its status downgraded (i.e.,
trunk to lateral).
All properties with tax exempt status and abutting new street reconstruction, street
reconstruction, or bituminous overlay improvements shall be assessed at one hundred percent
(100%) of the cost of the improvement.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 22
Additional Definitions and General Provisions
A. Federal, State and County Highways
These streets are classified as expressways, freeways, and principal arterials constructed and
maintained by the State or County Highway Departments. They will carry large volumes of
traffic at peak loading times.
B. Minnesota State-Aid (MSA) Streets
These are termed collector streets that interconnect other collector streets, State or County
highways, or with Minnesota State-Aid streets in the municipality. Municipal State-Aid
funds, apportioned from the gasoline tax, are used to help finance the cost of Minnesota
State-Aid Street. The design for a Minnesota State-Aid road is dependent on traffic volumes
and the urban setting.
C. Commercial/Industrial Streets
These are streets that generally serve commercial/industrial property. They would typically
have a projected traffic volume higher than a residential street. A typical design would be
thirty-six feet (36') wide with concrete curb and gutter, and nine (9) tone design in
accordance with current MnDOT standards.
D. Residential Streets
Primarily serve adjoining residents with little or no through traffic. Almost all trips have
either an origin or destination on that street. (18.5 miles throughout the City) Street width:
Minimum of 28 feet.
E. Neighborhood Streets
Provide access to residences on that street and provide a route through neighborhood for
residents on other streets. A large proportion of trips have neither an origin nor destination on
that street. (4.5 miles throughout the City) Street width: Minimum of 30 feet.
F. Community Street
Provide access to the residences, institutions and businesses on that street, providing a route
through the neighborhood or business district for residents of other neighborhoods. (6.0 miles
throughout the City) Street width: Case specific, 32 foot minimum.
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 23
G. Special Cases
Streets which do not fir into any of the above descriptions and have a very low usage, (1-3
residences); streets which provide secondary access (i.e. alleys); or, streets defined by
extreme limitations due to narrow right-of-way, topography, etc.
H. Appurtenances
1. Sidewalks
The City may require sidewalks or trails on or adjacent to selected streets or in
selected subdivisions.
2. Street Lighting
The City has a separate plan that indicates where lights are typically installed.
Additional street lights or ornamental lights may be installed at the written
request of the abutting property owners.
3. Trees
Trees and other types of landscaping may be required on selected streets.
4. Seeding/Sod
Boulevard restoration by seeding/sodding may be required to prevent erosion.
5. Existing Street Reconstruction Projects
Projects that reconstruct existing City streets shall be to the minimum
applicable standards for the type of street classification, consistent with the
Arden Hills Pavement Management Program (PMP) (as found in the
Appendix)
6. Maintenance/Rehabilitation Projects
a. Cold in Place Recycling and Repaving (CIR/Repaving)
2004 Assessment Policy – Page 24
Recycling of existing deteriorated pavements by pulverizing, mixing

materials are then placed over the cold recycled pavement similar to a
standard overlay.
b. Bituminous Overlay
Placement of an additional bituminous layer, generally one inch (1") to
two inches (2") thick, over an existing bituminous surfaced street.
c. Concrete Pavement Restoration
Replacement of existing concrete panels that have deteriorated,
mudjacking panels to improve rideability, and the filling of joints and
cracks with petroleum based material to eliminate flow water to the
base below the surface.
d. Crack Sealing
Placement of petroleum based material in the cracks of a bituminous
surfaced street for the purpose of eliminating the flow of water from
the surface to the aggregate base material blow.

N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
The Council may discuss any concerns about functionality, signage, parking, and ease of access
related to the city’s three election precinct locations as outlined below:
Precinct 1 – Presbyterian Church of the Way, 3382 Lexington Avenue
Precinct 2 – Anderson Center - Bethel University Satellite Campus, 2 Pine Tree Drive
Precinct 3 – North Heights Lutheran Church, 1700 W Highway 96
Background/Discussion
On January 13, 2020 the City Council approved Resolution 2020-005 designating the three
polling locations as outlined above. Precinct 1 remains the same as in prior years; however,
Precincts 2 and 3 were both reassigned.
Following the March 2020 Presidential Primary, various concerns were raised regarding the
Anderson Center - Bethel University Satellite Campus located at 2 Pine Tree Drive (Precinct 2).
The concerns included the need for a larger room for the 2020 General Election, that an adequate
amount of extension cords and more outlets be readily available in the space, better signage be
implemented, and to address parking and ease of access for those with disabilities.
Regarding North Heights Lutheran Church located at 1700 W Highway 96 (Precinct 3), it was
generally felt that the location’s room worked well but that better signage routing voters from
Highway 96 along the drive leading to the parking area were necessary.
The only concern raised about the Presbyterian Church of the Way (Precinct 1) was that some
Shoreview residents indicated that they had received a mailing indicating this was their polling
location.
AGENDA ITEM – 1E
MEMORANDUM
Page 2of 2
In addition, curbside voting and how that option would potentially function was a question
expressed by some election judges.
Following the March primary, City staff relayed the above concerns to Ramsey County Elections
Office (RCEO) staff.
RCEO staff have stated that they will work with the city to ensure additional signage is in place,
especially at the Anderson Center – Bethel University Satellite Campus and North Heights
Lutheran Church locations. It should be noted that Arden Hills staff has also internally discussed
providing signs (in addition to those provided by the RCEO) and will work with Public Works
staff regarding placement of the additional signs.
RCEO staff has also indicated that based on the need for a larger space at Precinct 2 - Anderson
Center – Bethel Satellite Campus, voting will take place in a much larger room that is located on
the “second” floor; however, it is important to note that technically the main entrance is
considered to be the building’s third floor, which means the room we will be using is actually on
the fourth floor. There are several elevators available immediately in the front entrance and we
have been assured ample signage will be in place to direct voters to the appropriate level.
Regarding curbside voting and in light of coronavirus and social distancing concerns, RCEO
staff stated they are working closely with the State’s Election Task Force and Public Health
pertaining to the logistics of this option. In previous years, curbside voting was exercised only
for disabled voters or for voters that were not able to stand in long lines. RCEO staff recognizes
that this option must be expanded as it could potentially be utilized by quite a large population of
voters. City staff will update the Council once a formal plan has been formulated and
communicated to us. Once the logistics are decided, staff will work with RCEO to ensure that
those that need to utilize curbside voting are aware of how to use it, and there is prevalent
signage at the polling place.
That said, voting by mail is being heavily promoted for both the August 11 Primary and the
November 3 General election. Attached is a sample of the postcard RCEO staff will be mailing
to all Ramsey County voters informing them about no excuse absentee voting and encouraging
people to vote by mail. RCEO has stated they are promoting absentee voting by mail via radio
ads, social media, and the Ramsey County Elections website. We also are promoting voting via
the city’s website and social media.
