TCAAP/RICE CREEK COMMONS UPDATE City Administrator Perrault explained the JDA met on August 7 to discuss communications, Primer Tracer status, surrounding road projects, County resources for housing and objectives for the upcoming community engagement event. He noted the JDA would meet next on September 5. He reported a second JDA meeting may be held in September to discuss density scenarios with the developer. He stated the Energy Committee met on August 3 and further discussed the goals and guiding principles for the project, the next energy meeting is set for August 31. He noted the JDA ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — AUGUST 14, 2023 2 Advisory Committee met on August 10 and the County discussed their MOU work with Alatus, revised density scenarios and spoke to the need of speaking with the school district. Councilmember Monson stated the JDA was trying to work through what kind of housing the project could have. She reported the JDA was striving to have a diverse variety of housing within this development, while also addressing the affordability piece. Councilmember Holden explained the original plan back in 2016 was to have a variety of housing on TCAAP. She requested staff put information regarding TCAAP in the City's newsletter. She believed this would be better for residents than having them seek information regarding TCAAP on several different websites. She asked that the Council discuss this matter further at an upcoming worksession meeting. Mayor Grant asked what equity in energy resiliency meant. City Administrator Perrault stated this referred to the three core elements (equity, carbon neutrality and resiliency) in the State's Climate Action Plan. He indicated the Energy Committee was reflecting the State's core values in their plan. Councilmember Holden recommended the MPCA's document be considered by the Energy Committee as well. Councilmember Monson reported when considering how to build a sustainable community, it was important to do things the right way from the start so homes and businesses do not have to be retrofitted. She discussed how important it would be to acknowledge the bigger picture in order to reflect on what would be best for the environment. 3. PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL Donna Wiemann, 1406 Arden View Drive, explained she emailed Councilmember Tom Fabel expressing her displeasure that there were only two sentences regarding TCAAP in the July newsletter. She did not believe this was being very transparent. She reported most of the first page was devoted to the Rib Fest and one-third of one page was devoted to pickleball. She believed it was reasonable for residents to see some important highlights on TCAAP in the newsletter. She recommended housing density, affordable housing, and project timeline (roadmap) information be made available to the public. In addition, she urged the City to make the public aware of the upcoming community engagement event that was being planned for October. 4. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES None. 5. PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS None. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — AUGUST 14, 2023 6. STAFF COM NTS A. Transportation Update Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported Lexington Avenue was open to traffic but would have intermittent outside lane closures as the contractor finishes the trails and restoration work for the site. He noted Red Fox Road has several concrete panels that need to be completed. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated the watermain associated with the roundabout at County Road E and Old Snelling was in the testing phase and should be completed early this week. He reported concrete curb work would begin by the end of this week and paving would begin next week. He explained the contractor anticipates the intersection would be open to the public by August 28. Councilmember Holden asked for an update on the drainage situation along Lexington Avenue. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained staff visited Lexington Avenue this morning after the rain. He described how the inlet protections were working to catch debris prior to moving water into the catch basins. He stated once the inlets were clean the water runoff would flow more freely. 7.

Motion To Approve State of the City Scheduling Councilmember Monson stated she would like the Council to consider moving the State of the City from January 6 to January 20. She believed this would line up nicely given the fact the Council typically cancels its second meeting in January. Councilmember Rousseau supported this recommendation, noting she would like the event held on January 20 or January 27. Councilmember Holden expressed frustration with the fact a date cannot be picked for the State of the City. She indicated previous discussions led her to believe the event should be held the first Saturday of January and now it was being pushed back to the end of January. Mayor Grant questioned if action on this item should be tabled to a future worksession in order to allow Councilmember Fabel to weigh in on this item. Councilmember Monson stated she was asking to move the meeting by two weeks which would allow staff more time to prepare for the meeting after the holidays. MO ION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a motion to Approve the State of the City be scheduled for January 20, 2024. The motion carried 3-1 (Mayor Grant opposed). B. Motion to Approve Resignation of Public Works Maintenance Employee City Administrator Perrault stated a Public Works Maintenance Worker submitted their resignation and had their last day on August IIth. This action will officially accept their resignation. Under a separate item the Council will consider approval to begin the recruitment process for the position. Councilmember Rousseau asked what the ramifications would be if the resignation were denied. City Administrator Perrault explained sadly this employee has already started a new job and noted the requested action was a formality. He stated that as City Administrator he does not have the authority to hire or accept resignations and that the City Council must approve such. MO ION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a motion to Approve Resignation of Public Works Maintenance Employee. The motion carried (4-0). 10. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. 2024 PMP Street and Utility Improvement Project ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — AUGUST 14, 2023 5 Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained on July 24, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 2023-038 receiving the feasibility report and calling for a public hearing to consider proposed improvements for the 2024 PMP Street and Utility Improvements Project. Projects involving special assessments generally require two public hearings commonly known as an Improvement Hearing and an Assessment Hearing. The subject hearing for August 14 is the improvement hearing. The purpose of the improvement hearing is for the City Council to discuss a specific local improvement before ordering it done. The second public hearing is the assessment hearing which is scheduled after the project has received contractor bids to provide property owners an opportunity to express concerns about the actual special assessments. He stated engineering consultant Brad Fisher with Bolton & Menk would be presenting further information regarding this item to the Council. Brad Fisher, Bolton & Menk, commented further on the scope of work that would be completed for the 2024 Street and Utility Improvement Project. He described the infrastructure maintenance work that would be completed noting new parallel parking bays would be added along Royal Lane and Floral Park. He discussed the differences between a reclamation project versus a mill and overlay. The water quality and pond cleanout improvements included in the project were reviewed, along with the train and retaining wall rehab. He provided an overview of the comments that were received at the public open house that was held on August 8. The estimated total project costs and special assessments were discussed and staff recommended the Council hold an improvement hearing. Councilmember Holden asked how good the estimate was. Mr. Fisher commented on the process that was used to estimate this project, noting this was based on the cost for recent projects with an inflation factor for next year. Councilmember Holden requested further information on what residents would and would not be paying for. Mr. Fisher reported residents would be paying for 50% of the road improvements while the City would be paying for 100% of all utility work. Councilmember Holden questioned how the City would address the driveway and roadway grading concerns. Mr. Fisher explained the roadway grade would remain as is. He noted this project would only include spot replacement for curb and gutter. Mayor Grant inquired how mailboxes will be handled. Mr. Fisher stated the contractor was responsible for maintaining access to mailboxes and trash services. When these services can't be maintained, temporary services have to be arranged by the contractor. Councilmember Monson asked how long the street reconstruction project would take. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — AUGUST 14, 2023 6 Mr. Fisher indicated he did not have specific dates in place, but he estimated the total length of construction would take several months to complete. Councilmember Monson questioned if the watermain work needed on James Avenue would extend the construction on this roadway. Mr. Fisher stated this may extend the construction for a week or two. Councilmember Rousseau asked if it was typical for cities to assess for 50% of the roadway expense. Mr. Fisher reported assessment policies vary throughout the metro area, but noted he knew of other communities that had a 50% of the roadway expense. Further discussion ensued regarding the history of the City's assessment policy. Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 8:10 p.m. Ove Sundberg, 4294 Colleen Circle, stated he came from a different background as he was from Norway. He explained he lived on a cul-de-sac and noted he had to use many roads in order to reach his home. He believed the assessments should be the same for all of the homes in his neighborhood. He indicated the properties in the community would not be worth very much without roads in place to get to the homes. He suggested the City consider putting a percentage on the levy to cover streets. Councilmember Holden explained the committee that reviewed and set the assessment policy did consider the levy percentage as an option, but noted this would tax some residents out of their homes. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported the City would be following the State's 429 process for proposed assessments. Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:15 p.m. 11. NEW BUSINESS A. Resolution 2023-040 Ordering Improvements And Preparation Of Plans And Specifications — 2024 PMP Street And Utility Improvement Project Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated following the public hearing under agenda item No. 10A, the next step in the project delivery process is to approve a resolution ordering the improvements and the preparation of plans and specifications for the 2024 PMP Street and Utility Improvements Project. The resolution document would order the improvements and plans in accordance with the recommendations provided in the project feasibility report. Councilmember Monson asked if a change order would be coming to the City Council for additional work. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — AUGUST 14, 2023 7 Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained the trail improvements and retaining wall were outside of the original scope of work and would be included as an amendment. Councilmember Holden questioned how much additional work would be required for the trail improvements and retaining wall. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated this work would cost an additional $23,000 in design fees. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a motion to adopt Resolution 2023-040 Ordering Improvements And Preparation Of Plans And Specifications — 2024 PMP Street And Utility Improvement Project 12. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None. 13. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Monson commented she fully supported the newsletter including additional information regarding TCAAP. Councilmember Holden reported National Night Out was a tremendous success again this year. She asked that staff provide the Council with feedback on the comments received from this event. Councilmember Holden noted that the PMP open house was a successful event. Councilmember Rousseau explained she had a great time at National Night Out. Councilmember Rousseau asked that an update be provided from the Personnel Committee at a future worksession. She wanted to ensure the City was remaining competitive in the post - pandemic climate. Mayor Grant stated he also attended a number of National Night Out gatherings and had a great time visiting with Arden Hills residents. Mayor Grant explained the Personnel Committee was taking up the concept of employee retention and would be meeting Wednesday, August 16. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — AUGUST 14, 2023 N.

Background The City was notified by an attorney representing the Welsch family that John "Jack" Welsch of the Big Ten passed away in June. State Statute 340A.410, Subd. 3 states "In the case of the death of a retail licensee to sell alcoholic beverages, the personal representative is authorized to continue operation of the business for not more than 90 days after the death of licensee." Staff received a document appointing a personal representative and notified the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED) about such. The 90 day grace period ends September 23, 2023. The business is required to submit new application materials for a license that will cover the period following expiration of the 90 day grace period through the end of this year. Staff received copies of documents submitted to the Secretary of State's office for the business and also a document showing designation by the personal representative of Corporate Officers James Welsch and Kim Nelson, who are applying for the liquor license on behalf of the business. Please note that staff has also worked closely with our City Attorney throughout this process. The City has received the necessary liquor license application materials (City application, State application, background check authorization forms and a Certificate of Insurance). Background checks were conducted on the two applicants by the Ramsey County Sheriff's office and results were satisfactory. Page 1 of 2 The Big Ten is requesting an on -sale liquor license (ONSS — beer, wine, and intoxicating liquor) as well as a license for Sunday sales, which are the same licenses the business has held for many years. Following Council consideration and approval of said licenses, all required information will be submitted to AGED. Again, the request before the Council is for liquor licenses for the period of September 24 to December 31, 2023. The Big Ten will be required to renew its license for 2024 later this fall and this will be brought forward to Council along with the other 2024 renewals in December.

As a member, the City facilitates a pass-thru lodging tax on hotel receipts in the City. These lodging receipts fund marketing activities in the area administered by TCG. As part of the organization, the City also receives an annual grant based on receipts from TCG, which must be spent on marketing activities to draw in visitors from outside the city. This year, the City's grant amount is $15,830; the City Council previously discussed how to use the funds at a worksession and directed Staff to work with both Bethel University and the organizers of the upcoming Ribfest. The direction was to split the funds 50:50 between the two organizations. Following the worksession direction, City Staff contacted both organizations and requested they work with TCG to develop a plan that would meet the grant guidelines. Both organizations worked with TCG and received approval that their plans fit the grant guidelines. A brief summary of each plan is below. Bethel University: used for marketing activities related to homecoming and family weekend, will include both print and digital marketing products. Ribfest: used for marketing activities related to its September 16th Ribfest event, will include print, digital, and radio marketing.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS IC ATTEST: Julie Hanson, City Clerk David Grant, Mayor Published in the Pioneer Press on September 13, 2023 NEW BUSINESS ITEM —11B 'It ,-AI�EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: September 11, 2023 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Preliminary Tax Levy Payable in 2024 and Setting Budget Public Hearing Date Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: N/A N/A N/A Council Should Consider Motions to approve, table or deny the following: • Resolution 2023-045 setting the Preliminary Levy for Taxes Payable in 2024 • Resolution 2023-046 adopting Truth In Taxation Public Hearing Date for Proposed Taxes Payable in 2024 Background State law requires that cities certify their proposed property tax levies to the county auditor by September 30t'. The proposed tax levy that is given preliminary approval may be lowered but cannot be increased. Therefore, it is important that the proposed tax levy provides adequate revenues to finance the 2024 Budget. The City Council needs to decide the maximum levy that it is willing to approve and then adopt the attached resolution. In December, the City will hold its Truth and Taxation Hearing and set the final tax levy. A budget workshop was held with the Council on August 21, 2023. Staff was directed to provide proposed maximum levy increase options from 0% to 16% (the amount needed to balance the General Fund). There will be another budget workshop in either October or November, prior to the final levy and budget adoption meeting in December. Discussion Wages and Benefits The 2024 preliminary budget is currently being prepared assuming a 3.0% wage adjustment for all staff. It is important for the City to remain competitive in the marketplace. There is also a 10% increase assumed for health, a 4% increase for dental and a 0.0% increase for life insurance premiums. The number of positions included in the budget is increasing as the Communications Coordinator position was updated from part time to full time and there are changes to some of the Page 1 of 6 wage allocations. It should be noted, Union negotiations are ongoing and will likely have an impact on final wage and benefit amounts. Below is a table showing the recent history of approved COLA's. Year Non Union IUOE Union 2023 3.00% 3.00% 2022 3.00% 3.00% + addition of Fleet Lead 2021 2.00% 3.00% 2020 3.00% Market adjustment; minimum increase was 5.80% 2019 2.50% 2.50% 2018 2.10% 2.25% Public Safety 2024 budget information was received from Ramsey County and Lake Johanna Fire Department for public safety. POLICE The police contract is expected to rise by 10.7%, or $155,480 for 2024 (a decrease pf $14,070 from the work session). Information provided by Ramsey County on this increase is as follows: The major cost drivers include: • Withdrawal by City of Falcon Heights from county contract. • Labor contracts and increased costs related to employee health insurance. Increased costs related to county fees for insurance and administrative overhead/indirect costs. DISPATCH Dispatch costs will be increasing by 2.4%, or $1,650. An error was discovered in 2020 in the way report queries undercounted medical calls in previous years for cities served by Allina. This meant an increase in call counts and an increase in cost sharing for the years 2021 - 2023. The impact of this shift occurred 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. FIRE The fire operating costs are expected to rise by 21.6%, or $162,330 for 2024. This is mainly due to the addition of 6 full time captains, a significant wage increase for the two deputy chiefs, an increase in supplies related to the 6 new positions and an increase in repairs and maintenance, all of which Arden Hills' cost share portion is 24.4%. The levy increase needed to cover police and fire services is $319,460. Revenues There are no significant projects included in the 2024 budget which would affect the permit revenue. The permit revenue included reflects only the estimated recurring "base" amount plus 50% of the average of major projects over the past 10 years, similar to what was included in the 2023 budget. Page 2 of 6 General Fund budget to actual comparisons for the past two years is included as Attachment E. Property Tax Levy A survey was recently routed to various cities in the metro asking about proposed levy amounts being considered. Below are the results of that survey. Vadnais Heights 16.95% Maplewood 7.00% New Brighton 9 - 9.8% Mounds View 6.50% Roseville 8.99% Falcon Heights 5 - 7% White Bear Township 7.77% St. Anthony 5.80% North St. Paul 7.67% St. Paul 3.70% Little Canada 7.21 % Spring Lake Park 3.50% Based on the 2023 County Assessor's Report, values for the different property types have changed as follows: All Residential 5.43% Single Family Residential 5.74% Apartments 159.49% Commercial 12.13% Industrial 29.85% The total Value for Local Rate for the city is projected to increase by 10.5%, from 18,337,217 to 20,259,379. Total residential values are increasing by less than the total taxable value for the City. Apartments, commercial and industrial properties are picking up a bigger share of the tax increase. Below are tables showing the impact of various levels of a city levy increase to Arden Hills' homes assuming that a home's value is increasing by 5.74%, which is the median amount.
