AGENDA ITEM – 1A
MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 15, 2021 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator SUBJECT: Northeast Youth and Family Services Update
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$19,883 TBD N/A
For Council Consideration
Council will hear a presentation from Tara Jebens-Singh of Northeast Youth and Family
Services (NYFS).
Background
The City Council requested an update from NYFS on the services they provide to Arden Hills
residents; Tara Jebens-Singh, the President and CEO, will give the Council a presentation on the
requested information and be available for any questions.
Also, Council may want to weigh in on their contribution to NYFS for 2022. In 2020, the City
Council discussed a request by NYFS to increase the City’s contribution by fourteen percent.
This was an effort to bring the cities that contribute to NYFS on par with each other in-terms of a
per capita funding ratio. The Council decided to split the increase over two years and do a seven
percent increase in 2021 and 2022. Based on that decision, the amount for 2022 would be
$19,883 (up from $18,583 in 2021); however, NYFS has requested an amount of $20,374, which
is closer to a ten percent increase. This is the seven percent increase and an additional three
percent increase due to inflationary pressures. Council should provide direction on the requested
funding amount, too.
Budget Impact
The budget impact will be based on Council’s direction this evening.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 15, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Feasibility Study – Proposed Trail from Lake Valentine Road to CR-96
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$0 $50,000 (estimate) PIR Fund
Council Should Consider
Council should consider a Feasibility Study of the proposed trail segment along Old Highway 10
from Lake Valentine Road to County Road 96.
Background
The corridor for the proposed trail segment can be seen in Attachment A. This trail would be a
6,500-foot North-South connecting segment along Old Highway 10 from Lake Valentine Road
to CR-96. At the southern end of the corridor there is an existing trail segment along Lake
Valentine Road near Valentine Park and the City has 95% design plans for a trail segment on the
West side of Old Highway 10 from Lake Valentine Road to County Road E2. Towards the
middle of the trail corridor, there is another connection on the south side of Parkshore Drive as
part of the senior living development. At the north end of this corridor the trail would meet the
existing trail that extends along Old Hwy 10 at the interchange of CR-96.
The feasibility study will provide information of what is involved if this trail were to be designed
and constructed, such as, existing conditions with utilities (Public and Private), drainage,
environmental challenges, estimated costs and project funding sources. It would also include
some Public involvement to identify needs or issues from their feedback. The feasibility report
does not commit the City to construct the trail but puts the City in position to pursue funding
opportunities when available.
Page 2 of 2
For additional information, Ramsey County is performing a pavement preservation project along
Old Highway 10 from County Road E to CR-96 in 2023. City staff has already coordinated with
Ramsey County on a segment of trail designed on the West side of Old Snelling from County
Road E2 to Lake Valentine Road which they will incorporate into their plans.
Discussion
City staff is requesting direction from Council if this is a feasibility study they would like to
pursue. Having a completed study puts the City in better position for future funding
opportunities.
Budget Impact
This proposed trail is not currently funded and is not programmed in the CIP.
Staff estimates the cost for the feasibility study will be around $35,000 for the report and
$15,000 for soil boring geotechnical work.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 15, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, City Planner
SUBJECT: Sale of City Owned Parcel at 3588 Ridgewood Road
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider the Following
The City Council should discuss and provide direction on selling the City owned parcel at 3588
Ridgewood Road.
Background
At the October 18th City Council Work Session, the Council discussed possible actions for next
steps in proceeding with the potential listing of 3588 Ridgewood Road. One of the
considerations for the Council was whether the City owned parcel would be marketed to the
adjacent Property Owners at 3583 Snelling Avenue and 3570 Ridgewood Road or placed on the
MLS for broad sale to the general public. The consensus of the Council was that Staff would
proceed with obtaining an appraisal and the property would be marketed through a licensed real
estate agent to the general public. Staff was directed to bring back to the Council at a future
work session the appraisal information and general feedback from a real estate professional on
marketability of the lot.
Following the work session meeting, the adjacent Property Owner at 3570 Ridgewood Road sent
an email requesting City Council reconsideration of their interest in listing the property to the
general public and wishes to engage the Council in discussion on purchasing the property in
advance of any further action on the City’s part.
Since the work session, Staff has contacted two appraisal services and has received a quote of
approximately $2,400 and a timeline of 4-6 weeks to perform the appraisal. In addition, Staff
contacted the City of Mounds View on process they’ve followed for agent selection and the City
Attorney on recommended next steps. The general guidance was that local agents should be
approached and provided some sort of informational packet on the parcel (i.e. site map, acres,
zoning, City’s intended use of site, timing, etc.). This packet would provide a date for their
Page 2 of 2
responded interest and request that they include their terms for listing the parcel. That
information would be presented to the Council prior to any execution of the listing agreement.
Based on both of those factors, Staff anticipates the property would likely not be ready to be
placed on the market until the early part of next year.
Staff wanted to provide the Council with an update and to seek confirmation on proceeding with
the appraisal and agent selection process. If directed as such this item would tentatively be
brought back to the Council at the January or February work session for additional discussion.
Next Steps
Staff is looking for Council direction on next steps for selling the city owned parcel at 3588
Ridgewood Road.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Arden Manor Park (CDBG) & Floral Park Hardcourt Improvements
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$249,700 – Arden Manor Park $TBD CDBG Funds, PIR – Parks,
$426,000 – Floral Park RCWD Grant
Council Should Consider
• Moving forward with the CDBG Arden Manor Park Improvements Project
• Moving forward with the Floral Park Hardcourt Improvements
• Combining projects to one project plan set
• Direct selecting HR Green for professional services
Background
Arden Manor Park:
On April 12, 2021, City Council approved Resolution 2021-017 supporting the City’s application
for a CDBG funding opportunity for Arden Manor Park. Since then, staff received notice that the
application had been chosen for approval. The grant request was for $189,700 in grant funding,
in addition to $60,000 from the PIR Fund to make the following site improvements and replace
existing playground equipment:
1. Park site would be regraded to improve drainage and minimize localized nuisance flooding.
2. Sidewalks, pathways, and playground spaces would be reconfigured and reconstructed with
curbing and ADA access.
Page 2 of 3
3. Assist in funding for additional playground equipment to provide separate play areas for
children ages 3-5 and ages 5-12.
4. The existing picnic shelter would be replaced based on modern design specifications and ADA
access standards.
5. Playground areas would be completed with wood fiber mulch to meet safety standards.
6. Drainage improvements would be installed within the open field and storm water pond area to
minimize standing water.
With poor drainage being an issue to improve as part of this project, staff looked into grant
opportunities with Rice Creek Watershed District and found this project is eligible for the
Stormwater Management Grant Program but the deadline for application is no later than
December 22, 2021.
Arden Manor Park playground, hardcourt and shelter were built in 1999 through the City’s Park
Maintenance Management Plan. Park equipment is to be considered for replacement on a 20-year
cycle. Within the 2021-2025 CIP, Arden Manor Park is programmed for improvements in 2022.
Floral Park Hardcourt:
By the City’s Park Maintenance Management Plan, hardcourts are to be considered for
resurfacing every 5-8-years, with a life expectancy of 25-35 years depending on conditions.
Floral Hardcourt was scheduled for a reconstruct in 2018. By visual inspection (Attachment B),
the surface is showing signs for replacement but the underlying soils do not appear to have an
issue with significant heaving. Pavement cores are scheduled to determine pavement thickness
and to determine internal signs of deterioration. Recreation staff has reported residents would
like to see this court reused with the same activities (tennis and basketball) with added striping
for pickle ball and possibly other activities. ADA improvements would also be considered as
there are none existing for the hardcourt facility.
Discussion
Staff is requesting Council discuss moving forward with improving these Parks with the
anticipated timeline of being complete by the end of Fall 2022, which is also the timeline of
keeping the Arden Manor Park eligible for the CDBG funds.
If Council chooses to move forward with both projects, staff recommends combining these Park
improvements into one plan set to promote lower bid prices. Construction items from each Park
would be separated within the plans to differentiate the grant participating costs.
Due to the tight timeline and the demands required by both CDBG and RCWD Stormwater
Management Grant, staff recommends requesting a proposal directly from HR Green to take the
project from start to finish. Tasks to include, but not limited to, public engagement, project
management, design coordination, Council presentations, vendor/contractor coordination,
Page 3 of 3
construction observation, and all paperwork and requirements from the grants. HR Green staff
has already visited the project site and have completed past CDBG projects and the Project
Manager serves on RCWD’s Citizens Advisory Committee.
City Staff is working with HR Green to complete the project scope which includes design, Public
Engagement, Council meetings, Open-House, CDBG administration items, RCWD grant
application and administration, design for both parks, bidding assistance, and construction
observation. At this time there is not an official proposal with cost, but it is expected to be near
$80,000.
Budget Impact
The project funding is provided below:
FUNDING
City PIR Fund (Arden Manor)60,000
City PIR Fund (Floral)426,000
CDBG Grant 189,700
675,700
RCWD Grant 50/50 match Unsure yet if this work would be in addition to the previously anticipated work or if these grant funds would go
toward originally anticipated costs.
The 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Plan has $60,000 programmed for the replacement of the
existing playground equipment at Arden Manor Park and $426,000 for the reconstruction of
Floral Park hardcourt. The RCWD grant is a 50/50 match to the City and would go towards
drainage improvements within Arden Manor Park.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 15, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Gayle Bauman, Finance Director
SUBJECT: 2022 Proposed Budget and CIP
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Staff is requesting City Council to review and provide feedback to the attached proposed 2022
Budget and CIP. The Truth-in-Taxation meeting is scheduled for December 13, 2021, where a
final budget and tax levy will be adopted.
Background
A budget workshop was held with the Council on August 16, 2021. Staff was directed to make a
few minor changes to revenues and expenditures, and Council adopted a maximum tax levy
increase of 4.5% on September 13, 2021. The final levy and budget adoption meeting is scheduled
for December 13, 2021. Discussion
Wages and Benefits
The 2022 proposed budget is currently being prepared assuming a 3.0% wage adjustment for non-
union and union staff. There was a survey completed of surrounding communities and most were at
3.0%. It is important for the City to remain competitive in the marketplace. Benefit amounts have
been adjusted based on renewal information. Health insurance is set to increase by about 9.0% and
dental is set to increase by 3.3%. The city’s payment toward employee insurance is increasing
$47.04 per month for an employee on a single plan and $91.39 per month for an employee on a
family plan. Overall, the city cost for insurance is increasing $20,460. The number of positions
included in the budget is decreasing by one due to the elimination of the Recreation Coordinator.
Also, there are changes to some of the wage allocations and a couple of new position titles with
different grades are included in Public Works and Community Development.
Total personnel costs decreased by $8,570 from 2021 to 2022. The breakdown of this increase is as
follows:
2022 Step increases/position changes $(99,040)
2022 COLA adjustments $69,010
Health insurance increase $20,460
Work Comp increase $1,000
TOTAL $(8,570)
Page 2 of 4
General Fund
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and its main source of revenue is property
taxes. The 2022 revenue budget is projected to decrease by $22,750 over 2021 to $5,099,510. One
of the reasons for this decrease is the inclusion of building permit revenue of $275,000 for three
significant projects in 2021 and only $75,000 included in 2022.
Expenditures are projected to increase by $12,150 over 2021 to $5,225,130. The increase is mainly
due to public safety costs.
• The police contract is expected to rise by 0.4%, or $5,890 for 2022. Major cost drivers include a
2.5% COLA, the addition of a Commander position for communications and records
administration, and automotive repair increases due to County garage rates.
• Dispatch costs will be increasing by 10.8%, or $6,010. This is mainly due to an error that was
discovered last year in the way report queries undercounted medical calls in previous years for
cities served by Allina. This means an increase in call counts and an increase in cost sharing for
the years 2021 - 2023. The impact of this shift will happen over a three-year period (2021-2023)
as the use of a three-year rolling average of call counts smooths out variability in annual call
fluctuations.
• The fire costs are expected to rise by 6.1%, or $40,270 for 2022. This is mainly due to increased
wages for the chiefs and office manager ($58,610), an increase in coverage for family health
insurance to 80% ($6,000) and the addition of a firefighter to the weekday shift ($39,470), all of
which Arden Hills’ cost share portion is 25%.
Special Revenue Funds
The City has six special revenue funds with activity in 2022 that finance various activities with
restricted revenues. The allocation of property tax dollars is proposed to remain the same for the
EDA General Fund ($100,000). The audio/video equipment was updated in the Council Chambers
during 2019 so there are no major purchases budgeted in the Cable TV Fund for 2022. Only one of
the three Tax Increment Financing Funds currently receives tax increment revenue (TIF #4). TIF
#3 has been decertified and has funds available for future eligible projects. TIF #5 was established
at the end of 2019.
Capital Project Funds
The Council has previously reviewed the 2022-2026 CIP. Much of this information is reflected in
the capital funds of the City. The allocation of property tax dollars is proposed to remain the same
for the Equipment and Building Replacement Fund ($50,000), remain the same for the Capital
Improvement (PIR) Fund ($250,000), and increase by $50,000 for the Public Safety Capital Fund
($170,000). The property tax allocation for the Public Safety Capital Fund will continue to need to
be increased in future years. There is also a transfer proposed from the Park Development Fund to
the PIR Fund to help pay for the park improvement projects scheduled for 2022. This transfer
represents the Park Dedication Fees the City has collected in recent years.

Enterprise Funds
The City has four enterprise funds that finance business-type activities. A rate study was completed
in 2018 for the Water, Sewer and Surface Water Management funds. The recommended rate
increases are reflected in the revenue budgets and will be included on the 2022 Fee Schedule for the
City. The proposed increases are as follows: Water – 4.5%; Sewer – 3.5%; Storm – 3%. Below is
a comparison of utility fees for 2021 and 2022 based on proposed rates and for a household using
9,000 gallons per quarter with a ¾” meter size or smaller.
Property Values, Taxes and Tax Rates
According to information provided by Ramsey County, the median home value in Arden Hills will
decrease from $387,500 for 2021 taxes to $384,600 for 2022 taxes, a decrease of 0.75%. The annual
impact of a 4.5% City levy increase to a residential homes is as follows (City tax amount only):

COVID Impacts
For the most part, City operations are back to ‘normal’. One area being affected is personnel. Like
many businesses, the City is finding it difficult to hire qualified people in its Building, Community
Development and Public Works departments. This results in the City having to contract out for
services which tends to be more costly. The biggest impact is in Building Inspections. The fees
paid to the contractor are much greater than the cost of an employee.
The City has also been allocated American Rescue Plan Funds (ARPA) which it must use or obligate
by December 31, 2024. These funds will be a topic of discussion at a future meeting.

Since the City’s private development partner pulled out of the project in April of 2009, Ramsey County purchased
the property and established a Joint Development Authority (JDA) with the City. Revenues and expenditures are

A budget amendment was done in 2014 to reclassify the City’s costs for infrastructure development under the JDA
into the TCAAP Capital Fund. An interfund loan was made in 2013 from the PIR to be paid back as the property

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 15, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Julie Hanson, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Draft 2022 Fee Schedule
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$ $ $
Council Should Consider
Council should consider providing feedback on the proposed 2022 draft fee schedule.
Background/Discussion
The City Council annually establishes a fee schedule for administrative, building construction,
liquor licensing, park and recreation facility usage, planning and zoning, utilities, business
licenses, utility fees, and other miscellaneous permits and penalties that are enforced by the City.
Below is a recap of the fee schedule changes in 2021:
• Building permit fees – Fees were based on 2020 Minnesota State Statute 326B.153.
• Parks and Recreation – Inflationary increases were made to field rentals, ball tournament
fees and community garden plot fee.
• Planning –Minor adjustments to the land use fees were made in order to be more
consistent with adjacent communities. The Concept Review administration fee was
increased from $150 to $300.
• Public Works/Engineering – Inflationary increases were made to right-of-way and
grading and erosion control permit fees, and water and sewer permit fees.
• Utility Hookup Charges – Increases for water and sewer permits, reinspection fees, and
water meters/spacers.
• Utility Use Charges – Increases as follows: 3% water rates, 6.5% sewer rates, 3% surface
water charge, and 3% to standby charge.
• Recycling – increased fees for curbside recycling.
Changes for 2022:
Proposed changes to the Fee Schedule are noted in red print on the attached draft 2022 Fee
Schedule. Explanations for the proposed changes are provided below.
Building Construction (Sec. II)
Building permit fees and state surcharges shall be established according to the 2021 Minnesota
State Statutes 326B.153 and 326B.148.
Parks & Recreation (Sec. V)
Fields, warming house/ice rinks, picnic pavilions and community garden plot rental increases are
recommended based on inflation.
Council may want to consider waiving the rental fees for the National Guard for use of picnic
shelters and pavilions. Note the City currently waives fees for the Community Room and Small
Conference Room rental for the National Guard.
Planning and Zoning (Sec. VI)
No increases are proposed for 2022.
Public Works/Engineering (Sec. VII)
Right-of-way, right-of-way small cell wireless facilities, grading & erosion control permit fees
increases are recommended based on inflation.
Staff recommends including language in this section regarding the standard fee for Public Works
after hours or holiday inspections and re-inspections.
Utility Hookup Charges (Sec. VIII)
Water and sewer permit fee increases are recommended based on inflation. In addition, staff
revised the water permit plan check fee to be set by the Inspector (versus the Engineer) as staff
that reviews this permit is not always an engineer (similar to the sewer permits).
Staff recommends updating language in this section for water and sewer permits respectively
relating to the standard fee for regular business hour re-inspections, and also inspections or re-
inspections that occur after hours or on holidays. Note after hours or holiday inspections and re-
inspections have a minimum of 2 hours.
Utility Use Charges (Sec. XIV)
Increases to water (4.5%), sanitary sewer (3.5%) and surface (storm) water (3.0%) and standby
charges (3.0%) are recommended. The stormwater increase relates to requirements to stay
compliant with the City’s MS4 permit.

Recycling Fee (Sec. XV)
The City Council adopted Resolution 2021-063 at its November 8, 2021 special meeting. The
approved amounts were $58.00 for a residential parcel with curbside recycling service (increased
from $57.50 to $58.00 annually). There was no change for fees for residential recycling without
curbside recycling service.

326B.148 SURCHARGE.
Subdivision 1.Computation.To defray the costs of administering sections 326B.101 to 326B.194, a
surcharge is imposed on all permits issued by municipalities in connection with the construction of or addition
or alteration to buildings and equipment or appurtenances after June 30, 1971. The commissioner may use
any surplus in surcharge receipts to award grants for code research and development and education.
If the fee for the permit issued is fixed in amount the surcharge is equivalent to one-half mill (.0005) of
the fee or $1, except that effective July 1, 2010, until June 30, 2015, the permit surcharge is equivalent to
one-half mill (.0005) of the fee or $5, whichever amount is greater. For all other permits, the surcharge is
as follows:
(1) if the valuation of the structure, addition, or alteration is $1,000,000 or less, the surcharge is equivalent
to one-half mill (.0005) of the valuation of the structure, addition, or alteration;
(2) if the valuation is greater than $1,000,000, the surcharge is $500 plus two-fifths mill (.0004) of the
value between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000;
(3) if the valuation is greater than $2,000,000, the surcharge is $900 plus three-tenths mill (.0003) of
the value between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000;
(4) if the valuation is greater than $3,000,000, the surcharge is $1,200 plus one-fifth mill (.0002) of the
value between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000;
(5) if the valuation is greater than $4,000,000, the surcharge is $1,400 plus one-tenth mill (.0001) of the
value between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000; and
(6) if the valuation exceeds $5,000,000, the surcharge is $1,500 plus one-twentieth mill (.00005) of the
value that exceeds $5,000,000.
Subd. 2.Collection and reports.All permit surcharges must be collected by each municipality and a
portion of them remitted to the state. Each municipality having a population greater than 20,000 people shall
prepare and submit to the commissioner once a month a report of fees and surcharges on fees collected
during the previous month but shall retain the greater of two percent or that amount collected up to $25 to
apply against the administrative expenses the municipality incurs in collecting the surcharges. All other
municipalities shall submit the report and surcharges on fees once a quarter but shall retain the greater of
four percent or that amount collected up to $25 to apply against the administrative expenses the municipalities
incur in collecting the surcharges. The report, which must be in a form prescribed by the commissioner,
must be submitted together with a remittance covering the surcharges collected by the 15th day following
the month or quarter in which the surcharges are collected.
A municipality that fails to report or submit the required remittance to the department in accordance
with this subdivision is subject to the remedies provided by section 326B.082.
Subd. 3.Revenue to equal costs.Revenue received from the surcharge imposed in subdivision 1 should
approximately equal the cost, including the overhead cost, of administering sections 326B.101 to 326B.194.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 15, 2021 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator SUBJECT: Public Works Staffing Discussion
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$64,450 - $81,643 (Grade 12) $86,249 - $109,257 (Grade 17) General and Utility Funds
For Council Consideration
Council may provide further direction on staffing for the Public Works Department.
Background
The City Council previously authorized Staff to move forward with the recruitment of a Senior
Engineering Technician; following two attempts at posting the position we do not have a viable
candidate to bring forward to Council for approval. Following internal discussions with the
Public Works Director/City Engineer and the Personnel Committee, we are recommending the
position be re-vamped to a higher level position to attract a wider range and higher quality
candidate. This new position would be an Assistant Public Works Director, it would be similar to
the Assistant City Engineer position that the City previously had, but the focus would shift away
from engineering and more towards operational duties, such as, project inspection/management,
capital project planning and street/utility operations. It is also anticipated this position will be the
direct supervisor of Recreation Activities. The Public Works Director/ City Engineer will be
present to speak more to the position and answer additional questions. A draft job description is
attached for reference. One additional item the Council will want to weigh in on is if we should
have a job posting for this role or directly recruit qualified individuals.
Budget Impact
This position will replace the Senior Engineer Tech role, and will have a higher salary, which
means a pretty significant budget impact. Proposed pay scale is below:
