1.PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL
Donna Wiemann, 1406 Arden View Drive, said she wanted to draw their attention to a chart on
page five of the 2024 proposed CIP that shows the different taxes for the cities in Ramsey County.
She wanted to point out that most of St. Anthony Village is actually in Hennepin County so unless
that is reflected somewhere that isn’t an apples to apples comparison.
Linda Swanson, 1124 Ingerson Road, stated that since she wasn’t given the opportunity to
respond to Councilmember Monson’s criticism of her at the October 23 meeting, she sent an
email to the Council and wanted to read it. She read the following: “At issue with Tena was that I
left an item on the Council bench in front of Councilmember Tom. The item was a consumer
reusable black bag with the slogan “Treat people like people, it’s that easy”. After the October 23
Council meeting, Tena and I discussed the matter. Tena acknowledged that I wasn’t the first and
only person to bring items to the Council bench and that she knew that residents had left items on
the bench for at least she and Emily. She also acknowledged that I did throw the bag down or in
any way put the bag down in a disrespectful manner. At the end of our discussion it was apparent
that Tena was against anyone putting items on the Council bench, not just me. As to Tom’s
remarks that it was a bribe, how dare you once again insult me and malign my integrity. I have
never offered a bribe to anyone and I can tell you that Tom would not be the person I would do
that to. Just another example of how poorly Tom treats the residents that don’t agree with him.
This is coming from a council person that is supposed to have the resident’s best interest in mind,
meaning mine. Shame on you, Tom for making such a statement.”

2. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES
None.
3. AGENDA ITEMS
A. 2024 Budget Discussion
City Administrator Perrault noted that the City Wide Budget Summary for 2024 includes the
General Fund, Utility Fund and Special Revenue Funds. Council had seen the CIP previously in
July, the Operating Budget in August, the General Fund Preliminary Levy was approved in
September. There is $15.5 million in revenue coming into the City, and expenditures of $19.8
million. The large discrepancy is generally from CIP projects.
City Administrator Perrault explained pie charts that showed the City Wide Summary by type.
He reviewed Wages and Benefits for 2024, with total personnel costs increasing by $253,490 from
2023 to 2024. In the General Fund Revenues property taxes were increasing by 13.7%. He
explained the other types of revenue included in the General Fund.
City Administrator Perrault described the General Fund Expenditures, and the 2024-2028 CIP.
He explained the dollars set aside for Economic Development in 2025 and 2027 were for gateway
signs. He showed a chart of the 2024 Capital Projects, and noted that in the Utility Funds water
would not increase, sewer will increase by 3% and surface water will increase by 5%. Based on a
household of 9,000 gallons used there will be an increase from $221 to $225.
City Administrator Perrault reviewed the Tax Impact of the 12.55% levy over 2023, the Tax
Levy history, compared Arden Hills with 2023 Tax Rates for other cities in Ramsey County, and
the Proposed Tax Levy for 2024. He explained the other funds that rely on Tax Levy dollars; EDA
Fund, Public Safety Capital Fund, Equipment/Building Replacement Fund and the PIR Fund.
City Administrator Perrault stated the current wage and benefit assumptions include a 3%
COLA, insurance benefits are increasing by 10% for health and 4% for dental. Changes being
made within the Lake Johanna Fire Department will require future additional levy increases. He
wondered what levy the Council would like to consider for the Truth in Taxation meeting in
December which is currently at 12.55%. The amount cannot be raised but can be lowered.
Councilmember Holden said in the statewide budget summary for 2023 there was a negative
$900,000 but yet at an earlier meeting it was said there would be about $200,000 carry over. Was
that still true?
City Administrator Perrault said they will come in under budget on the expenditure side, mostly
due to salary savings. However, on the revenue side they are down on building permit revenue as
there haven’t been any large construction projects this year. Conservatively $200,000 is what he
would predict.
Councilmember Monson stated they had a shortfall in revenue, but staff vacancies that allowed
cushion on expenditures. She asked if this was a common pattern?
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 3
City Administrator Perrault replied that in the past number of years they’ve done better on the
expenditure side mostly due to staff vacancies. He thought they had always done better on the
revenue side but they are around $120,000 short of budgeted permit revenue. In past years they
have been more like $200,000+ to the good of that.
Mayor Grant asked where TCAAP revenue fits into this.
City Administrator Perrault said there was no TCAAP revenue built into the projections.
Mayor Grant stated the County is actively selling Outlot A, he thought they would close or at
least have a developer agreement at the end of this year or beginning of next.
City Administrator Perrault said it is expected the County will sell the property, a purchase
agreement should come within the next couple of months, but the actual due diligence time for
that construction project is 12-18 months. We would expect revenue to start coming in from that
property in the next 3-5 years.
Mayor Grant stated the City should expect to be reimbursed for about $100,000 in Planning
costs.
City Administrator Perrault explained they have a Planning Area Charge but he didn’t know
how that would equate to Outlot A. That wasn’t built into the current budget. He felt they would
get those funds at the time a building permit was pulled and it wouldn’t be tied to the transaction.
Councilmember Monson said in JDA discussions they anticipate a build out in 2025 or 2026.
City Administrator Perrault stated they aren’t privy to the purchase agreement and/or proceeds
from it, but the current fee schedule has a Planning Area Charge built in which was intended to
take $1,000,000 from across the TCAAP project.
Councilmember Fabel said when he looks at the City Wide Budget Summary there is about a
$4.3 million dollar deficit. Are they actually budgeting that?
City Administrator Perrault responded that it is accurate, and the main driver of that is the
Capital outlay projects, for example the $3 million PIR project coming up. He further explained
the CIP.
Councilmember Fabel asked why there was a $2.5 million spread between the charges for
services in the Enterprise Fund versus the expenditures.
City Administrator Perrault said it was mostly due to the capital outlay. There are projects and
utilities coming up like the PIR sewer lining project that make up the balance but they set the rates
so they cover themselves over the course of time. For example, the Water Funds rates should be
healthy enough to cover the Water Fund for the 5-10 year period they are looking at.
Councilmember Monson thought it was interesting that they are only looking at one year. She
asked if the Council in the past ever considered looking 2 or 3 years out for budgeting purposes to
avoid any large jumps or help fund certain projects or services without taking a big hit in a year?
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 4
She wanted to understand how they look at that to be sure they’re funding for this year and future
years.
Councilmember Holden said they do plan ahead for big PMP projects because that’s where they
get the big holes. They’ve had 10 year forecasts, which could change. The roller coaster is the
PMP projects.
Councilmember Monson felt if they could plan further out than one year they could spread
things out, and to know when they need to hire more staff.
Councilmember Holden explained they have done that by putting building in the basic
maintenance; they have a maintenance schedule for the roads so they can plan ahead, they have it
for the parks and trails, park equipment, parking lots. They’ve been collecting money from the
stormwater ponds for 15 years because they knew they were going to have to start cleaning them.
Councilmember Monson wondered if there are other things they want to think about spending
money on and how to build that into the budget. She assumed that would be something they could
talk about at a retreat; what each Councilmember’s priorities are, and how much do they cost, how
do they agree to set priorities. She felt it was a different way to think about the operating side of
the budget.
Councilmember Holden said she hadn’t received an email about scheduling the League of
Minnesota Cities. She wondered if that had come out.
City Administrator Perrault stated he needed to confirm with LMCIT whether or not she felt
one of the staff attorneys would substitute in a good capacity for her. The one date that worked for
the Council wasn’t available for her and she offered the suggestion of another LMCIT staff
attorney helping out but he needed to know if a different person would offer the same
collaboration/mediation services that she does. If not they will need to find an alternate date.
Councilmember Monson stated she would like ADA port-a-potties at each playground and she
didn’t see that in the budget. She talked to PTRC but they didn’t have a quorum so she didn’t
know how it comes up the chain.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said PTRC needs to make a
recommendation to Council that is what they want to see in the parks, and it would come to a
work session as a separate item.
Councilmember Rousseau thought there were a lot of little projects that PTRC or other
committees would want to work on and they could go to staff to see if they would need more staff
or funds.
Councilmember Holden asked how much money was left from maintaining roads.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen replied that he wasn’t sure but they didn’t go
over budget.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 5
Councilmember Monson stated she would like to have staff start an EV analysis and would like
to see electric option looked at first when replacing vehicles, while making sure there is an
economic understanding of that versus a gas vehicle. Fleet vehicles like a Ford Escape would be a
perfect case for having an EV.
Mayor Grant said they would have a more detailed discussion at the first meeting in December
when they set the final levy.
B. Perry Park Roof Replacement Discussion
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained that the Perry Park pavilion roof
needs replacing. They received quotes for roofing from four contractors. Shingles would cost just
under $15,000 and steel would be roughly $34,000. Did Council want to consider steel roofing
versus shingles? Steel has twice the lifetime of shingles, but it will go over the budgeted amount.
Color choice could be done by them or he would bring it to PTRC and they could suggest a color
with the final approval coming from Council when they would award the contract.
Councilmember Holden asked if the pavilion would last 40-60 years, and how much vandalism
had they had lately.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said yes, it was a brick and mortar building.
He said vandalism comes and goes depending on the age group of kids in the neighborhood.
Councilmember Holden felt the should do steel.
Councilmember Rousseau thought steel was a good idea and she’d like PTRC to make a
decision on the color.
Councilmember Fabel agreed that steel was a wise long-term investment. He didn’t care what
the color was.
Mayor Grant directed staff to go with steel.
C. Public Approaching Dais Policy Discussion
City Administrator Perrault said this item was brought forward by a Councilmember to discuss
if the public can approach the dais or ask permission. A draft policy was attached to the memo.
Councilmember Monson said a member of the public came to speak and read an email, overall
her characterization of their conversation was correct. She and Councilmember Rousseau don’t
remember ever receiving an item, but they have received paper at the dais. She thought it was very
rare to allow the public to approach elected officials due to impartiality and safety. She was
proposing to allow paper handouts be provided to the City Clerk and no objects. She added
language around the Mayor providing a warning that the policy has been set. She didn’t
necessarily feel safe if they continued to allow people to come up and give councilmembers an
object. She felt it was key to have the Mayor on board as he is responsible for the safety of the
people in the audience, elected officials and staff.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 6
Mayor Grant felt paper handouts could be provided during the meeting as long as they were
approaching the City Clerk and each councilmember could get a copy. He thought what would be
considered offensive was a judgement call. Regarding no objects other then paper, he said they’ve
had all kinds of building materials presented to them and handed down the dais. He didn’t think
they needed to specify that it could only be paper. He agreed that printed handouts shouldn’t be in
an envelope.
Councilmeber Holden expressed her thoughts on handouts being in an envelope; they would
accept something in the mail in an envelope, but not at a meeting? Did they expect the City Clerk
to take things out of an envelope?
Councilmember Monson said the problem is when people approach the dais to give an object to
a councilmember, particularly one they don’t agree with. Something like building materials could
be given to the City Clerk and she could distribute, and that would be OK. She felt the needed to
provide some type of protection around receiving things from the public and approaching a
councilmember.
Mayor Grant felt if something was in an envelope it was OK. He felt providing a warning wasn’t
necessary.
Councilmember Monson said she was fine with rewording the document to make it more
friendly.
Councilmember Holden wanted to take law enforcement out. If they can’t run a meeting without
law enforcement you don’t deserve to be at the bench; the Mayor can ask them to leave or sit
down.
Mayor Grant agreed they didn’t need that. He can declare a recess if needed. There was a
meeting once where a councilmember was concerned for her physical safety. But he didn’t see the
need to be escorted by law enforcement.
Councilmember Monson thought they could strike the last two bullets.
Councilmember Fabel said the overriding concern is one of safety. He felt it was a legitimate
concern. He recommended that Councilmember Monson meet with the City Attorney to work on
language and bring it back to Council.
Mayor Grant stated that if they want people to act in a particular way they need to inform people
of that specific way and that should come from him, rather than some policy in a book that
nobody will see or read. He noted the dais itself is fully bulletproof.
Councilmember Holden asked wasn’t the policy just to bring your items to the City Clerk?
Councilmember Monson said if that was how it happened and they started making people bring
things to the Clerk that would be sufficient for her. The key is that it’s either run that way or it’s
enforced that way.
Mayor Grant said he would work with the City Attorney to bring something back.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
1. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Councilmember Rousseau requested an item be added to the agenda, a motion to remove Mark
Kelliher from the PTRC.
Mayor Grant reported this would be New Business Item 11B.
Councilmember Holden asked if the Council could take action on this item without first
discussing it at a worksession.
Mayor Grant stated this was the action that was to be followed by the Council.
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to not
allow the item to consider removing PTRC member Mark Kelliher from the
PTRC be placed on the agenda.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 2
Councilmember Fabel stated he did not recall the Council had formally adopted or taken action
on how items are to be added to the agenda. He thought that the Council would be resolving this
matter at a future retreat through a formal policy.
Mayor Grant explained there was a policy in place that was followed by the Council earlier in
the year.
Councilmember Fabel did not believe this to be true because the Mayor had added a minor item
to an agenda recently.
Mayor Grant stated he did not recall adding an item to the agenda.
Councilmember Holden reported when she asked to add a TCAAP Discussion to the agenda in
February, March and April, she was told because the group did not have the information or
resources, this matter should be discussed at a worksession first. She believed this norm should
continue to be followed.
Mayor Grant recalled that Councilmember Monson recommended items should be brought to a
worksession before discussion at a regular meeting.
Councilmember Monson stated she believed this was a different situation. She explained what
was provided previously regarding the TCAAP topic had no clarification. She agreed with
Councilmember Fabel that no policy had been formalized regarding how items are to be brought
to an agenda or worksession meeting. She supported the Council holding the LMCIT meeting in
order to gain clarity. She indicated she was not the PTRC liaison and therefore she would defer
the recommendation on this item to Councilmember Rousseau.
Councilmember Holden indicated she was given a letter with vague information. She was not
clear who spoke to this individual and therefore she did not support this item being placed on the
agenda.
City Administrator Perrault asked what motion the Council was taking action on at this time.
Mayor Grant stated there were no motions yet. He explained he respected the reason why
Councilmember Rousseau wanted this item on the agenda. He commented generally when the
Council wants something on the agenda, it is placed on the agenda, subject to approval of the
Council. However, Councilmember Holden made a motion stating she was not in favor of doing
this and he seconded this motion. He reported the item was now under discussion.
Councilmember Fabel supported deferring to Councilmember Rousseau because she was the
liaison for the PTRC.
The motion to not allow this motion to be placed on the agenda failed 2-3
(Councilmembers Fabel, Monson and Rousseau opposed).
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 3
MOTION: Councilmember Rousseau moved and Councilmember Fabel seconded a
motion to add an item to the agenda (Item 11B) to consider a motion to
remove Mark Kelliher from the PTRC. The motion carried 3-2
(Councilmember Holden and Mayor Grant opposed).
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a
motion to approve the meeting agenda as amended. The motion carried (5-0).
2. TCAAP/RICE CREEK COMMONS UPDATE
City Administrator Perrault stated The JDA held their public engagement on November 1st,
they estimated that around 200 people were in attendance. The consultant, Perkins and Will, was
present to have a preliminary discussion at the last JDA worksession on November 6th. A full
report with feedback will be given at the JDA’s December meeting. The materials from the public
engagement event and the survey can be found on Rice Creek Commons.com if members of the
public still want to provide input. On November 2nd, the City Council met to discuss Rice Creek
Commons, and gave staff direction to move forward with amendments that would allow for a
density up to 1,960 housing units on the site, it is anticipated this will be discussed at the City’s
Planning Commission meeting on December 6th, as part of this meeting there will be the
opportunity for public engagement via a public hearing. An unofficial notice was included in the
City’s newsletter which should be in mailboxes soon. On November 6th the JDA met, in addition
to discussing the public engagement event, they also discussed a possible term sheet for approval
in December. The JDA also discussed the possibility of a Preliminary Development Agreement in
December. There is a planned advisory committee meeting this coming Thursday to discuss the
project status, a term sheet, and the preliminary development agreement, it is anticipated this
meeting will not have a public link for listening to the discussion.
Councilmember Monson stated there was a member of the public that had a number of questions
that she was looking to have answered. She explained the JDA gave direction to staff to answer
those questions. Once those answers are received from the JDA staff, she asked that City staff
review the remaining questions in order to provide this resident with answers to her questions.
Councilmember Holden asked if staff had the latest financials for how much this project would
cost the City.
City Administrator Perrault reported the most recent financials were from August.
Councilmember Holden indicated these numbers were out of date, and questioned when the City
would receive updated numbers.
City Administrator Perrault explained updates would be made regarding the housing types, but
he did not anticipate the revenue from the site would change too drastically from August.
Councilmember Holden commented she believed the numbers would change given the fact there
would be smaller houses, some without basements, commercial property has been removed, more
affordability has been added, and additional staffing would be required. She asked when the City
would be receiving updated financials.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 4
City Administrator Perrault stated after the November 16 JDA Advisory meeting, which Ehlers
would be attending, updates could be made to the financials.
Councilmember Holden expressed concern with the fact a term sheet would be considered by the
JDA prior to the City having any financial information. She was of the opinion the Council did
not have enough information on the projected costs for the City.
City Administrator Perrault indicated this was a good question. He explained the term sheet
was non-binding and direction given with the document would be high level. He reported the
language regarding finances would state the City intends to recoup its costs on infrastructure and
covering operational costs going forward. He stated the financials will not be dependent on the
term sheet and vice versa.
Mayor Grant stated whatever terms are drafted, they should not violate the agreement.
City Administrator Perrault reported this would the case.
Mayor Grant was in agreement with Councilmember Holden that the financials would change
given the changes that were made to density and zoning. He explained the Council directed staff
to begin making amendments for a Comp Plan Amendment. He commented further on how the
changes that were made by the JDA would impact the community. He stated he did not want to
see housing and warehousing mixed together, but rather wanted this development to be something
really special. He recommended the zoning be looked at further, noting the City may want more
office/mixed use while eliminating the warehousing. In addition, he stated the red area within
Rice Creek Commons was not to house anything “big box”. He supported the Council holding
further discussions regarding the proposed zoning prior to any Comp Plan Amendment being
considered.
Councilmember Holden discussed how the office/mixed use space was originally put into
TCAAP to assist with creating jobs and these parcels have been removed.
Mayor Grant stated he was pleased with how Parcel A would be developing and that it would
bring jobs to the area. However, he indicated the City was missing an opportunity by not
discussing the red portion of Rice Creek Commons. He reported the original plans for this
development was to create 4,000 jobs. He commented on how the new plans would not come
close to this number.
Councilmember Holden asked if the Council was interested in reviewing the zoning map.
Councilmember Monson stated the Mayor’s concern was having flex office space next to homes,
because this would allow for warehousing close to the housing.
Mayor Grant reported this space, the flex office space, was designed to be warehousing.
Councilmember Monson indicated the second concern from the Mayor was that big box retail
would move into the red space.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 5
Community Development Director Jagoe reported in the retail mixed use, office mixed use and
flex office, retail sales and service was an allowed use, which included big box retail.
Councilmember Monson questioned why big box was a concern for the City.
Mayor Grant stated he wanted to see the best and highest uses within this development, which
did not include big box or warehouses, especially consider the fact the project lost 32 acres of flex
office space.
Councilmember Monson requested the analysis for the 1,960 units include information on what
this project would look like and how the City could work to bring in smaller retail.
Community Development Director Jagoe stated if there are other changes, beyond going from
flex office to neighborhood residential district, this direction should be provided from the City
Council because this information would have to identified within the public hearing notice.
Councilmember Rousseau indicated she was in favor of having the smaller retail and mixed
uses. She reported if this model were followed, she wondered where a larger grocery store could
be located.
Councilmember Monson reported a lot of the big box retailers now offer groceries.
Councilmember Holden explained the Council fought for the small portion of red (retail) near
County Road 96 because the developer did not want retail in this area. She supported more retail
being placed in this area of the development in order to create more jobs.
Councilmember Fabel indicated what the Council was discussing had potential dire
consequences. He discussed how the flexibility within the current zoning plan would be
compromised if changes were made. He explained the governance of this property rests with the
JDA and the JDA supports a zoning plan with flexibility. He reported the JDA will continue to
work within this plan with the best interests in mind. He stated the only change that has been
made by the JDA was the decision that there should be more residential space/density. He
explained all of the other zoning decisions were to remain as is. He did not support the Council
getting involved in additional zoning modifications, other than those that were approved by the
JDA.
Mayor Grant thanked Councilmember Fabel for his comments. He reported the City did not give
up its zoning authority to the County or the JDA. He stated the City was still responsible for
zoning and if this map changes in any way, this would be a City initiated project that the Council
votes on and is brought to the Met Council for consideration. He clarified that the JDA cannot
make changes to the zoning within the City without the Council’s consent. He asked if the
Council could make changes to the zoning map prior to this item going to the Met Council.
Community Development Director Jagoe reported she would want to look at the future land use
designations under the Comp Plan to better understand how they are guided.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 6
City Administrator Perrault indicated any changes made to the TRC would have to be approved
by Ramsey County.
Mayor Grant hoped Ramsey County was still interested in job creation within this development.
He feared how jobs within the development would be reduced given the proposed changes that
were being made to the zoning.
Councilmember Fabel pointed out that the changes that have been made pertain only to one
section and by reclassifying a portion of the property from commercial to residential, this may not
have an impact on the number of jobs with the development. He reported the people of Arden
Hills voted by a 60% margin to do this. He stated the density and jobs within this project will be
determined by the market as this project moves forward.
Councilmember Monson stated she thinks about zoning differently. She indicated she was not
opposed to how it was today. She explained she wanted to see the zoning being more inclusive,
versus exclusive. She did not support the City going down the path to exclude a specific use, but
she was not opposed to this either. She reported she could support further discussions on the
red/blue/light blue area. She stated she may be inclined to opening up this entire area for
reconsideration. She indicated she wanted the JDA to be onboard with the discussions the Council
was having.
Further discussion ensued regarding the process that would be followed to consider further zoning
changes.
Councilmember Holden stated this was our City and she believed the City has given the County
everything they wanted. She commented on how she hoped to see the highest and best uses within
this development. She encouraged the Council to see the value of making changes how versus
having to go back to the County. She understood Ramsey County was interested in getting their
money back, which would be done if the highest and best uses were put into this project versus
giant empty warehouses. She explained she had a problem hearing about the 60% vote. She stated
maybe people voted for Councilmember Fabel because he promised to be transparent or because
he promised to answer questions. She stated the Council would never know why people voted for
Councilmember Fabel, but she was tired of hearing about the vote.
Mayor Grant explained he did not believe residents voted for him for one single reason. Rather,
he worked to support many projects and initiatives within the community. He questioned why
Councilmember Fabel stated people voted for him because he expanded the number on TCAAP,
because this simply was not true. He indicated he did not want the Council to keep going back to
this. He stated he wanted this project to create jobs for the City and for it to something the City
could be proud of. He understood the County was interested in generating revenue and
commented on how Parcel A would create close to $10 million in revenue for Ramsey County. He
supported the Council further reviewing the zoning or allowed uses within the red area in order to
make this project something special.
Councilmember Rousseau asked how many jobs were estimated previously for this
development.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 7
Community Development Director Jagoe stated she did not recall there ever being a breakdown
of the number of jobs per zoning district. She reported the 32 acres of flex office space that would
be converted to residential would eliminate 300,000 square feet of commercial building space.
Councilmember Rousseau questioned when the City would learn more about the Primer Tracer
property.
Community Development Director Jagoe reported she was uncertain when the City would
receive information on this property.
Mayor Grant commented he did not recall that the number of jobs was broken down by parcel
type, but this development was originally projected to have 4,000 jobs.
Councilmember Monson recalled that the developer did not believe there was a whole lot of
interest in flex/office space, which meant at this time, the job impact would not be significant. She
explained she was open to further discussing the rezoning of the red/light blue/blue areas and
recommended this topic be on its own separate path.
Councilmember Holden recommended the developer be re-asked about warehouse/showroom
space.
Mayor Grant indicated he was not trying to hold up this project, but rather was interested in
having the highest and best uses on this site. He believed it would be a travesty for this project to
become just another housing development.
Council consensus was to direct staff to bring forward a future worksession discussion regarding
the rezoning of the red/light blue/blue areas within Rice Creek Commons.
3. PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL
Linda Swanson, 1124 Ingerson Road, stated she was tired of Councilmember Fabel’s
disrespectful antics. She discussed how Councilmember Fabel behaves when people he doesn’t
like speaks, by rolling his eyes, looking at the clock, raising his arms and playing with paperwork.
She encouraged Councilmember Fabel to stop with the childish antics and to begin acting
respectfully. She requested the Council pass a policy that states Councilmembers are prohibited
from making any written, verbal and or motions/gestures that could in any way be disrespectful or
critical of a person speaking at a public meeting. She appreciated the way Councilmember
Monson had recognized the work the prior Council had done. She discussed how the slate has
given Ramsey County anything they wanted included increased unit numbers without any
hesitation or data. She urged the Council to treat people like people.
George Winiecki, 4175 Old Highway 10, stated his family has lived on his property for the past
113 years. He indicated he has lived in this community for the past 75 years and he has seen many
changes. He believed what the Council was proposing for the TCAAP property was mind
blowing. He encouraged the residents of Arden Hills to wake up and see what is being proposed.
He stated there was supposed to be 1,500 residential units with retail and commercial businesses.
He explained the plan how shows 1,500 apartments along 35W and 500 small 750 square foot
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 8
slab homes by County Road 96/Highway 10. He indicated these units would be rental with a high
level of subsidies. He was of the opinion someone higher up was pushing the buttons and there
was a hidden agenda that was moving forward. He anticipated his taxes would be going up in
order to cover the expenses for this project. He reported the population of Arden Hills would be
increasing by 60% or more, which would put a burden on roads, police, fire and schools. He
further discussed how the existing residents of Arden Hills would be adversely impacted by this
project and noted he was contemplating the sale of his family’s land. He urged the residents of the
community to wake up, come before the Council and share what they think.
Mark Kelliher, 3712 Chatham Court, explained he was not planning on speaking during the
public forum, but given the manner in which Ms. Swanson spoke about disrespectful behavior he
felt compelled to speak. He stated he was an active member of the PTRC. He understood
Councilmember Rousseau has placed a special agenda item to have him eliminated from the
PTRC. He believed this action was extremely disrespectful. He explained a letter was drafted
about him on Saturday and now there was an urgency to remove him from the PTRC. He
understood the Council may not allow him to speak later on and he knew there was a 3-2 voting
system with the Council. He respectfully requested the Council allow him to speak at a Closed
Session versus publicly shaming him at an open meeting.
Donna Wiemann, 1406 Arden View Drive, stated she believed it was imperative for the Mayor
of Arden Hills to attend the JDA Advisory Committee meetings. She noted the topics discussed at
these meetings cover infrastructure, financing, construction standards, park sizes, future
maintenance and operating costs. She indicated the Mayor was the communities main leader and
brings a great deal of knowledge, experience and wisdom to the table. She believed it was wrong
and misguided for one Councilmember to say he cannot attend these meetings. She stated after
attending the open house she understood the 1,960 units within TCAAP may not be the final
number. She indicated the maximum number may go up by hundreds of units. She urged the City
Council to make the public aware of this fact.
Mayor Grant commented the JDA Advisory Committee meetings are closed. He was led to
believe he could attend at one point in time. However, after attempting to attend a meeting he
learned the door was closed and he was escorted out of the building. He explained
Councilmember Fabel was the only Arden Hills Councilmember that served on this advisory
committee. He asked if Councilmember Fabel would be open to him attending these meetings.
Councilmember Fabel reported these meetings are open and televised.
City Administrator Perrault explained the JDA’s direction at a previous meeting was to provide
Zoom links for the public to listen, barring sensitive conversations regarding development
agreements. He stated he did not anticipate there would be a Zoom link for the November 16 JDA
Advisory Committee meeting.
Mayor Grant explained he was not just a member of the public trying to attend these meetings,
rather he was the Mayor of the City.
Councilmember Fabel stated each member of the Council has the same power. He indicated two
Councilmembers were allowed to serve on the JDA and not five. He reported a JDA Advisory
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 9
Committee group was created to work with staff. He noted these meetings were a staff function
and notes were taken for these meetings. He stated there was nothing the Mayor has which has
any superior authority to any other Councilmember as it pertains to the JDA or to decision making
for Rice Creek Commons.
Councilmember Monson called for a point of order.
Mayor Grant stated the Council was having a discussion.
Councilmember Monson indicated it has not been the practice of the Council to respond to the
public in real time.
Mayor Grant explained the Public Inquiries language states the Council may not respond. He
stated he was not opposed to the JDA itself, but clarified for the record the JDA Advisory
Committee meetings were not open to the public and the recordings were not kept.
City Administrator Perrault commented the meetings are streamed live, but they were not
recorded.
Mayor Grant indicated only two Councilmembers could attend these meetings, otherwise it
would become a public meeting.
Councilmember Holden clarified for the record all Councilmembers can attend JDA regular
meetings and JDA worksessions.

Snelling was open to traffic in all directions and restoration of the greenspaces would be

11. NEW BUSINESS
A. Arden Hills City Code Relating To Tobacco Products
• Ordinance 2023-012 Amending Chapter 3, Section 350 of the Arden Hills
City Code Regarding Tobacco Products
• Authorization for Publication of Summary Ordinance 2023-012
Assistant to the City Administrator/City Clerk Hanson stated the City Council previously
directed staff to work with the City Attorney to clarify language in City Code regarding the sale of
flavored tobacco products, specifically pertaining to synthetic nicotine products and prohibiting
their sale in the City. Staff reviewed the redlined draft proposed language amending Chapter 3,
Section 350 and the clean version which addresses synthetic nicotine and provides for other minor
housekeeping changes. Staff is requesting Council consider approval of Ordinance 2023-012 and
authorize staff to publish a Summary Ordinance. Please note City Attorney Jack Brooksbank will
be in attendance at this meeting for questions. In addition, a letter dated October 9, 2023, was
mailed to the six businesses that hold a tobacco license in Arden Hills (Brausen Holiday, Arden
Hills Tobacco, Cub Foods, Cub Discount Liquor, Holiday Stationstore and Walgreens). The letter
informed the licensees that the City Council would be considering this amendment at its
November 13, 2023 meeting and invited the businesses to provide comment. It was noted staff
heard back from one business owner stating this individual would be emailing the Council.
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a
motion to adopt Ordinance 2023-012 Amending Chapter 3, Section 350 of the
Arden Hills City Code Regarding Tobacco Products. The motion carried (5-
0).
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a
motion to approve Authorization for Publication Summary of Summary
Ordinance 2023-012. The motion carried (5-0).
B. Motion to Consider the Removal of Mark Kelliher from the PTRC
City Administrator Perrault explained this item was brought forward by Councilmember
Rousseau. He reported City Code does allow for the Council to remove a sitting Committee or
Commission member by a simple majority vote.
Councilmember Holden questioned if this matter could be discussed in Closed Session.
City Attorney Schmidt advised it was not possible for this to be discussed in Closed Session
tonight. She stated per City Code, the only requirement was for the Council to take a vote to
remove a member.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 12
Councilmember Rousseau requested the Council consider a motion to remove Mark Kelliher
from the PTRC. She apologized for not getting information on this item out to the Council sooner.
She also apologized to Mr. Kelliher given the timing of this action. She explained serving on the
PTRC should be a rewarding, volunteer opportunity for members of the community with a
respectful and collaborative environment where all members can speak. With this in mind, she
supported the Council removing Mr. Kelliher from the PTRC. She suggested staff be tasked with
creating a code of conduct for Committee and Commission members.
Councilmember Holden asked how this issue was addressed with Mr. Kelliher.
Councilmember Rousseau stated she had not spoken to Mr. Kelliher. Rather, she asked the City
Administrator to reach out to Mr. Kelliher.
Councilmember Holden discussed a situation that occurred in the past on the PTRC and
commented on how the situation was handled discretely by the Council in order to not publicly
call this individual out. She questioned what the issue were with Mr. Kelliher.
City Administrator Perrault indicated this was a sensitive subject. He recommended that if
there was going to be a lengthy discussion on the matter that a closed meeting be scheduled. He
urged the Council to be cautious if they were going to take a vote at this meeting.
Councilmember Rousseau stated with committee members in tears, she would really like the
Council to take action on this item.
Councilmember Monson questioned if the letter had been made public.
City Attorney Schmidt stated given the fact staff wasn’t clear if the Council was going to take
action or lay this matter over, the letter has not been made public. She reported the Council was
kind of in a gray area where Commission members are not subject to the personnel policy.
However, if the person was to be removed, this matter could be considered personnel or
equivalent to personnel data and staff was recommended the information not be made public.
Councilmember Monson believed the allegation was serious and from the comments made by
Mr. Kelliher this evening she would be supporting the recommendation from Councilmember
Rousseau.
Councilmember Fabel commented as an attorney he was always concerned about potential
litigation. He stated he did not want this matter to become a matter of litigation. He explained he
had some sympathy for Mr. Kelliher when he made comments regarding a public shaming. He
asked if there was a sense of urgency to this matter or could this matter be held over for a closed
session.
Councilmember Rousseau discussed how the dynamic of the committee was beginning to
change and the Chair was going to resign at the next meeting. Her preference would be to keep as
many committee members as possible. She stated she could not speak to how long these members
would hang on if the matter were delayed.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 13
Mayor Grant stated he believed this was not something that the Council should take action on
from the dais. He understood the PTRC Chair wrote a letter, but he did not know how many
members from the PTRC were in agreement. In addition, the letter lacked specifics. He strongly
recommended action not be taken at this meeting, but that the matter be addressed in a closed
session. He indicated these were volunteer committees and this individual has put a great deal of
effort into some of the PTRC efforts for the benefit of the City. He stated he was struggling with
how to proceed given the fact he did not have specifics. He indicated the Council was being asked
to choose a side and he didn’t like that either.
Councilmember Holden explained the Chair has not approached the individual about his
behavior. She stated she reviewed the minutes for the last eight months and there was nothing in
there that indicates there were issues or problems. She reported she did not read anywhere that the
Chair was going to resign because someone was on the committee. She stated when she spoke to
Marie in June, Marie was thinking about resigning. She understood this was sensitive data, but
there was nothing in the note that detailed what occurred. She believed she could not vote yes or
no until she knew what the truth was.
City Attorney Schmidt pointed out that a person serving on a volunteer committee does not have
a property interest or liberty interest in the position. Rather, these individuals serve the good of the
community by appointment without debate by the City Council. She indicated there was no
evaluations done on these individuals on an annual basis. She stated the Council can appoint these
individuals and can unappoint these individuals.
Councilmember Monson commented on the serious nature of this request. She reported a letter
was sent from the Chair of the PTRC to the City Administrator that was brought to the City
Council. She stated this spoke to her regarding the issue with the behavior. She indicated there
were times when it was inappropriate or unsafe to direct somebody directly and that was why the
Council was addressing this matter. She stated she supported the Council liaisons
recommendation in this effort. She explained the PTRC would be meeting again tomorrow night
and if no action was taken, this would be an awful meeting. She questioned if the Council could
make a motion to request Mr. Kelliher to not attend the PTRC meeting tomorrow night, should
this item be held over.
City Attorney Schmidt stated there is no clear in between, which made it difficult for her to give
legal advice. She reported the Council appoints and the Council unappoints.
Councilmember Fabel indicated he has the highest level of respect and confidence in
Councilmember Rousseau. He appreciated her efforts to protect this Commission. He stated
despite what the City Attorney says about legal rights, the City Attorney is also aware that
frivolous law suits can come about from contentious situations. He indicated these law suits can
be costly to bodies, both politically, publicly and financially. He explained this situation has the
smell of a frivolous law suit. He stated he supported Councilmember Monson’s suggestion to
request Mr. Kelliher to stay away from the PTRC until the Council has a chance to hold a closed
session. He reported this would give Mr. Kelliher the chance to speak and present his position in a
private capacity before the Council takes action.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 14
Councilmember Rousseau stated this seemed sensible to her. She reiterated that she would like
the Council to pursue a code of conduct for Commission and Committee members.
Councilmember Monson supported this recommendation.
Mayor Grant stated he had no indication that this was an action of the PTRC, but rather the
Chair has taken it upon herself to write what she wrote. He did not understand if the entire PTRC
has endorsed this. He also did not have enough information to whether or not a future meeting
would be awful. He supported the Council tabling this item until a time when it can be held in
closed session.
Councilmember Fabel suggested this item be addressed at the November 27 City Council
meeting.
Councilmember Rousseau reported she would not be in attendance at the November 27 Council
meeting.
Councilmember Monson supported this item being addressed at the December 11 City Council
meeting.
MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to table
until the December 11, 2023 City Council meeting when the matter can be
addressed in closed session and requesting that Mark Kelliher not attend
PTRC meetings until this matter has been dispensed by the Council.
Mark Kelliher pledged to not attend a PTRC meeting until this item has been vetted privately.
The motion carried (5-0).
12. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
None.
13. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Monson commented a lot has occurred with the JDA since the last Council
meeting. She appreciated the excitement around the clean energy opportunities within this project
and noted the Energy Advisory Committee would continue to work on these matters.
Councilmember Holden requested a recap on the flashlight pumpkin event.
Councilmember Holden asked that staff provide the Council with information on how the youth
commissioners were working. She questioned if staff had starting working on revising City Code
relating to commissioners and suggested this item be placed on a future worksession agenda.
City Administrator Perrault stated this item has not been placed on a future worksession
agenda.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 13, 2023 15
Councilmember Holden inquired if Mr. Kelliher would be invited to attend the closed session
meeting.
Mayor Grant supported Mr. Kelliher attending this hearing.
City Attorney Schmidt explained it would be the Council’s discretion whether or not to invite
Mr. Kelliher to the closed session hearing.
Councilmember Monson stated she did not want Mr. Kelliher in attendance at the Closed
Session meeting.
Councilmember Fabel supported having Mr. Kelliher in attendance.
Mayor Grant concurred.
Councilmember Rousseau stated she would like to have a conversation with the PTRC to see
what their thoughts were about attending the closed session or if they were concerned about
retaliation. She indicated she did not support having Mr. Kelliher at the closed session meeting.
Councilmember Holden supported having Mr. Kelliher at the closed session meeting, in order to
hear both sides of the story.
City Attorney Schmidt commented the conversation that will happen in the Closed Session will
be for the Council to exercise their authority to remove this individual or not. She explained
having testimony is not the procedure that would typically occur. She did not recommend
testimony from PTRC members be offered at the closed session meeting.
Mayor Grant stated there are members of the public who believe that he was Al Checchi’s
finance person at Northwest Airlines for mergers and acquisitions. He clarified that he did work
for Northwest Airlines in IT, but he was not the finance person for Al Checci.
Mayor Grant explained niche.com was a company that did research on colleges and universities.
He reported after Money Magazine folded, niche.com has taken over the rating of cities. He
indicated Arden Hills was rated A+ and was the third best suburb to buy a house in in the
Minneapolis/St. Paul area. He stated Arden Hills rates an A for public schools and an A+ for
families. He provided further comment on the ratings the City received and stated he was proud of
the fact Arden Hills received a B+ for diversity and an A for housing. He commended staff and
past Council’s for their efforts.

1. PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL
Gregg Larson, 3377 North Snelling Avenue, expressed concern given the fact there was no plan
for the stormwater along Lake Johanna Boulevard. He explained he was excited to see a trail
being built along Lake Johanna Boulevard, but recommended the City and County have a solid
stormwater plan in place for this corridor. He commented on the grit chambers that were already
in place, but supported the City and County reengineering how this stormwater was managed
before being dumped into the lake. He did not recommend running the stormwater directly into
the lake, but rather suggested retention ponds be created on the non-lakeside of Lake Johanna
Boulevard.
Kristine Poelzer, 1870 Indian Place, reported she lives one block off of Lake Johanna Boulevard.
She stated she was concerned with how traffic passes through the intersection of County Road E
and Lake Johanna Boulevard. He encouraged the City to find a way to slow traffic down at this
intersection.

3. AGENDA ITEMS
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORKSESSION – NOVEMBER 20, 2023 2
A. Proposed Lake Johanna Boulevard Trail – Ramsey County Discussion
City Administrator Perrault stated Ramsey County Public Works Director Brian Isaacson
would be presenting this item to the Council.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Brian Isaacson stated in 2021, Ramsey County
initiated a preliminary design development study for the Lake Johanna Boulevard (LJB) Trail
corridor. The report that was completed September 27, 2022 and on May 8, 2023 the City Council
adopted Resolution 2023-023 relating to Local Match Commitment for Lake Johanna Boulevard
Trail Project: 2024 Met Council Regional Solicitation. It was noted Ramsey County has begun the
application process for the Metropolitan Council Regional Solicitation Grant program. He
provided further information on the project overview detailing the key takeaways, reviewed
project plans and explained he was looking for discussion with Arden Hills City Council and City
Staff.
Councilmember Monson asked if there would be a sidewalk and turf on the southern side.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson reported there would be a sidewalk on one
side and a trail on the other.
Councilmember Holden recommended the County consider how fast traffic was moving along
this corridor and to have proper safety measures in place.
Councilmember Monson suggested the roadway width be narrowed to assist with calming
traffic.
Councilmember Holden questioned if the County had standard shoulder widths.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson stated the County did have different roadway
designs.
Mayor Grant reported this plan was preliminary and noted the County would continue to take
feedback from the City.
Councilmember Holden requested the County consider improving safety around the curves in
order to slow traffic and to protect pedestrians.
Councilmember Fabel asked if the proximity to the lake creates any DNR concerns for this road
reconstruction project.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson stated there would be a lot of complications
and the County would have to work with the DNR throughout this entire reconstruction project.
Councilmember Rousseau questioned if the watershed district would be a stakeholder in this
project as well.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORKSESSION – NOVEMBER 20, 2023 3
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson reported this was the case noting the County
would be working with the watershed district along with the DNR when developing this project.
He commented further on how the County would work through best practices in order to address
the stormwater runoff.
Councilmember Monson suggested the pedestrian crossing into the beach be reconsidered.
Councilmember Rousseau requested the City and County look into the DNR Regional Trail
grant opportunities for this project.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen commented this could be investigated
further.
Councilmember Holden encouraged the County to consider designing this corridor in a manner
that requires less salt and brine, as this would lessen the stormwater impact on the lake.
Ramsey County Commissioner Frethem commented on how important it was for the County to
manage its water well and stated a comprehensive stormwater management plan would be
developed for this project.
Councilmember Holden requested the medians be removed from this corridor because they were
not well maintained by the County.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson reviewed the project schedule noting the
County was working on funding at this time.
Ramsey County Commissioner Frethem stated based on several legislative changes the County
had legislative action teams that were working to secure additional funding.
Councilmember Holden suggested the City look at replacing watermain along this roadway, if
repairs or replacement were needed. She anticipated the City would have to come up with another
$1 million or more for this work.
Mayor Grant stated the project costs were estimated to be somewhere between $9 and $10
million. He asked if inflation had been factored into the project given the fact the project would
not be completed until 2028.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson reported the estimates were 2028 numbers.
Councilmember Monson questioned if the County would pursue this trail without federal
funding.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson stated he did not have an answer to this
question. He commented on how the County was working on a comprehensive traffic study and he
would have more information once this study was complete.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORKSESSION – NOVEMBER 20, 2023 4
Councilmember Monson explained this corridor was multi-modal and she wanted to ensure the
City and County complete this project in a manner that considers the safety of both vehicular and
pedestrian traffic.
Further discussion ensued regarding the grant, state and federal funding that would be pursued by
the County.
Councilmember Fabel asked if the County could address the roadway design at County Road E.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson explained when he gets into the project
design, he would be looking at ways to slow traffic at this intersection.
Councilmember Holden recommended the County have numerous pedestrian safety crossing
features be built into the corridor near the beach.
Mayor Grant questioned how far along the design plans were at this time.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson estimated the design plans were at 5% at this
time.
Councilmember Monson asked if there was value in having the project further designed when
pursuing federal funding.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson reported if the designs were further along, he
would have a better understanding of the costs, but noted this does not have an impact on federal
funding.
Councilmember Rousseau requested a bump out or other safety measures be considered along
the corridor in the short term.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson stated temporary measures could be
considered such as bollards or striping.
Councilmember Holden indicated the City’s main concerns were in the spring and summer when
there were more pedestrians along the corridor.
Councilmember Monson summarized the temporary solutions will be addressed by the County
once they have state funding in place and County staff will work with City staff to understand the
City’s priorities.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson reported this was how he would proceed.
Councilmember Fabel recommended the parking along the corridor be reconsidered because
there were many places where it was unsafe for pedestrians and bicyclists to travel along the
corridor.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORKSESSION – NOVEMBER 20, 2023 5
Mayor Grant agreed the City could not wait until 2029 to have pedestrian improvements in place
along this corridor.
Ramsey County Public Works Director Isaacson stated in February or March he could plan to
meet with City staff to speak about potential safety measures along the corridor.

CONSENT ITEM – 8B
MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 11, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator
SUBJECT: 2024 Non-Union Employee Compensation Plan
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Motion to approve, table or deny the following:
• 2024 non-union employee compensation plan.
Background
Annually, the City Council evaluates its compensation plan and determines if a cost of living
adjustment (COLA) is appropriate. The 2024 budget was prepared with a 3.0% increase for non-
union employees and a 3.0% increase for I.O.U.E. union members.
The seasonal employee compensation plan has been reviewed by staff and adjustments have been
made where applicable. Significant adjustments were recommended by the Public Works
Department regarding their seasonal employees and ensuring we are competitive with
neighboring jurisdictions. These increases have been accounted for in the proposed budget.
Attached for Council approval are the compensation plans for January 1, 2024, for non-union
employees as well as the proposed 2024 seasonal employee compensation plan.
Budget Impact
The rates have been reflected in the proposed 2024 budget.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 11, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator
SUBJECT: 2024 City Contribution to Employee Monthly Benefits
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Motion to approve, table or deny the following:
• Resolution 2023-058, setting the City Contribution to Employee Monthly Benefits for the
2024 benefit year.
Background
Each year, the City needs to review the employee benefit options for the coming year and set the
monthly contribution rates.
Discussion
The City is maintaining its current health and dental insurance provider, Health Partners, rate
increases for medical were approximately twelve percent, while dental did not see an increase (Staff
did ask NFP to compare rates to other providers and staying with Health Partners was the least
expensive). No changes were made to the Life, Short Term or Long Term Disability benefits. The
only change being proposed this year is for non-union employees on the family plan will see their
contribution go from $300 to $315 per month, which is a five percent increase.
Budget Impact
The increases have been accounted for in the proposed 2024 budget.

Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Addition of Earned Sick and Safe Time language to the Personnel Policy.
Background
The State of Minnesota recently passed a new rule requiring employers to provide a base level of
Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST) to employees; the minimum accrual amount is one hour per
every thirty hours worked. For permanent employees, the City’s PTO program is already more
generous than the State’s requirement; however, we will also need to offer this benefit to
seasonal/temporary employees. Staff is proposing that we add the required language regarding
ESST to our Personnel Policy effective January 1, 2024. This will bring us into compliance with
State requirements, and following the upcoming compensation study (still to be approved by
Council), we will also ask the consultant to provide any recommendations regarding ESST for
beyond 2024. The language to be added to the Personnel Policy can be found below (this
language is based off LMC’s model policies regarding ESST):
Earned Safe and Sick Time (ESST)
Effective January 1, 2024, Minnesota’s earned safe and sick time (ESST) law requires employers
to provide paid leave to employees who work in the state. All permanent full-time and part-time
employees who currently earn PTO will now earn combination PTO/ESST hours. Non-PTO-
earning employees will accrue ESST at the rate of one hour per every thirty hours worked not to
exceed forty-eight hours in a year. Any provisions regarding ESST in this policy shall also be
applicable to PTO unless otherwise noted or required by State Statue.

If the need for sick and safe leave is foreseeable, the city requires seven days’ advance notice.
However, if the need is unforeseeable, employees must provide notice of the need for Earned
Sick and Safe time as soon as practicable. When an employee uses Earned Sick and Safe time for
more than three consecutive days, the city may require appropriate supporting documentation
(such as medical documentation supporting medical leave, court records or related
documentation to support safety leave). However, if the employee or employee's family member
did not receive services from a health care professional, or if documentation cannot be obtained
from a health care professional in a reasonable time or without added expense, then reasonable
documentation may include a written statement from the employee indicating that the employee
is using, or used, Earned Sick and Safe Leave for a qualifying purpose. The city will not require
an employee to disclose details related to domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking or the
details of the employee’s or the employee’s family member’s medical condition. In accordance
with state law, the city will not require an employee using Earned Sick and Safe leave to find a
replacement worker to cover the hours the employee will be absent.
Maximum Accumulation
For PTO-earning employees, any accumulation will follow the normal PTO provisions. For non-
PTO-earning employees, they cannot accrue a balance of more than eighty hours of ESST.
ESSL and Separation
Upon separation from the City, any applicable payouts for PTO-earning employees will follow
the normal payouts for PTO upon separation. For non-PTO-earning employees, no payout shall
be made upon separation. Should an employee return to work at the City within 180 days, their
previously accrued ESST hour balance will be reinstated.

Dear Arden Hills City Council,
I hope this finds you well and preparing for a lovely holiday break as we enter the winter season. We are grateful for
your partnership in service of our community.
We are thrilled to share some exciting updates at NYFS. We had a strong year of deepening and growing our work.
We are seeing more need than ever, and are proud to be meeting that need in new and innovative ways. This last
year we:
• Have a new Brand, Mission, Vision, Values and Strategic Plan
• Launched Child Centered Play Therapy Services, working with children in a trauma informed and
developmentally appropriate way from ages 4 -12.
• Expanded our School Based Mental Health Services to the New Brighton-St. Anthony School District.
• Welcomed Arden Hills as a municipal partner.
• Launched our Community Connections (youth development program) open to the public.
• Invested in our building and spaces, creating a trauma-informed environment for clients and staff.
• Re-opened our White Bear Lake location full time and renovated to be trauma-informed.
• Developed a robust internship program and launched our Steps Toward Equitable Practices Scholar (STEPS)
program to provide stipends and training support for BIPOC clinical interns.
We are also very excited to share that we have received a large grant from the Office of Justice Programs Crime
Victim Services to launch Domestic and Sexual Violence Services in January of 2024. We will have two additional
advocates (plus our community advocate) providing sexual and domestic assault services – one focused on youth and
the other on adults. We also will have two domestic and sexual violence therapists – both providing individual and
group therapy services – one focused on youth and the other on adults. We know how high the need is within our
current client population and communities, and are thrilled to be launching specialized services to meet this need.
With content experts already on staff, we are well poised to launch our services!
Thank you for your continued partnership. NYFS would be unable to provide these services, and unable to offer a low
sliding fee scale our clients if it weren’t for your investment and collaboration. We are able to do so much more
together than we could ever do on our own!
Sincerely,
Angela Lewis-Dmello, MSW, LISW

Ducks Unlimited North Suburban Chapter 239 has submitted a request again this year for

charitable organization, whose mission is to protect, preserve and enhance North America’s
wetland and associated upland habitat. Per Minnesota’s Lawful Gambling regulations, they are
required to obtain acknowledgment from the City. This does not require a permit or license from

326B.148 SURCHARGE.
Subdivision 1. Computation. To defray the costs of administering sections 326B.10 I 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 sha11 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. l 94.

The 2024 Private I/I Grant Program is a “Pilot” year for Met Council. It will provide $1.5 million
in wastewater revenue to provide grants to private property owners to help with repairs that will

Legislature amended statute 471.342 to allow the Met Council to provide grant funding to local
municipalities to assist private property owners with costs associated with repairing sewer
infrastructure on their property. The City of Arden Hills is 1 of 81 other municipalities that are
eligible for the program.
A resolution related to the application for MCES 2024 private property I/I grant program is
provided as Attachment A.
Met Council confirmed that the equity component criteria can be decided by City Council at a
future meeting, post-application, but would like a formal statement as soon as possible. Met
Council also confirmed that the City Council may decrease the match amount from 50% if they so
choose.

Council Should Consider
Motion to approve, table or deny the following:
• Acknowledgment of the LG220 Application from Midwest Gymnastics Booster Club for
a raffle to be held on March 24, 2024 at Flaherty’s Arden Bowl with no waiting period.

Midwest Gymnastics Booster Club President Nicole Faulkner has submitted a request for
authorization to hold a raffle to raise money for Midwest Gymnastics. Per Minnesota’s Lawful
Gambling regulations, they are required to obtain acknowledgment from the City. This does not

with the Council on November 13, 2023.
Discussion
Wages and Benefits
The 2024 proposed budget is currently being prepared assuming a 3.0% wage adjustment for non-union
and union staff. It is important for the City to remain competitive in the marketplace. The number of
FTE’s included in the budget is decreasing by .13. There are changes to some of the wage allocations,
the Communications Coordinator position was updated from part time to full time and one of the part
time Customer Service Reps positions was eliminated and the incumbent was updated to the full time
Accounting Clerk position.
There is a 10% increase assumed for health, a 4% increase for dental and a 0.0% increase for life
insurance premiums. Overall, the city cost for insurance is increasing $36,640.

Total personnel costs increased by $253,490 from 2023 to 2024. The breakdown of this increase is as
follows:
2024 Step increases/position changes $118,570
2024 COLA adjustments $77,280
Insurance benefits $36,640
Work Comp insurance $21,000
TOTAL $253,490
General Fund
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and its main source of revenue is property
taxes. The 2024 revenue budget is projected to increase by $569,780 over 2023 to $5,939,200. The
main reason for this increase is a proposed property tax increase of $592,270.
Expenditures are projected to increase by $591,090 over 2023 to $6,121,270. The increase is mainly
due to public safety and personnel costs.
• The police contract is expected to rise by 9.1%, or $131,960 for 2024. Major cost drivers include
withdrawal by City of Falcon Heights from the county contract; labor contracts and increased
costs related to employee health insurance; and increased costs related to county fees for insurance
and administrative overhead/indirect costs.
• Dispatch costs will be increasing by 2.4%, or $1,650.
• The fire operating costs are expected to rise by 11.0%, or $82,750 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 $216,360.
Special Revenue Funds
The City has five special revenue funds with activity in 2024 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 2023. None of the three Tax
Increment Financing Funds currently receives tax increment revenue. TIF #3 and TIF #4 have been
decertified and have funds available for future eligible projects. TIF #5 was established at the end of
2019.
Capital Project Funds
The Council has previously reviewed the 2024-2028 CIP. Much of this information is reflected in the
capital funds of the City. The allocation of property tax dollars is proposed to increase for the
Equipment and Building Replacement Fund by $220,000 ($270,000), remain the same for the Capital
Improvement (PIR) Fund ($250,000), and decrease by $180,000 for the Public Safety Capital Fund
($40,000).

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 2024 Fee Schedule for the City. The
proposed increases are as follows: Water – 0%; Sewer – 3%; Storm – 5%. Below is a comparison of
utility fees for 2023 and 2024 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

Fund Structure
Purpose and Accounting Basis
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which
is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with
a separate set of self‐balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity,
revenues, and expenditures or expenses as appropriate. Government resources are allocated
to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be
spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. Certain funds have varying
levels of restrictions, imposed either by legal requirements or policy choices, and as such, it can
be helpful to see a broad overview of the City’s finances to show summaries of different funds.
The City’s funds are grouped into seven basic types:
General
Special Revenue
Capital
Debt Service
Proprietary (Enterprise)
Internal Service
Fiduciary
The budgeted funds of the City are grouped into two broad categories as follows:
Governmental Funds – Governmental Funds are used to account for “government‐type”
activities of the City (e.g., activities that receive a significant portion of their funding
from property taxes, state aids, and various grants). The Governmental Funds budgeted
for the City are the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, and
Capital Projects Funds.
Proprietary Funds – Proprietary funds are used to account for the “business‐type”
activities of the City (e.g., activities that receive a significant portion of their funding
through user charges). The proprietary funds budgeted by the City are Enterprise Funds
and Internal Service Funds.
The first three fund types listed above comprise the majority of the day‐to‐day operating
activities of the City. The remaining fund types are more specialized funds, and typically
account for one‐time and/or specific activities rather than ongoing and recurring services. Brief
descriptions of each fund type follow.
General Fund
The General fund is the primary revenue source and operating fund for most services cities
typically offer. These include public safety (police and fire), street maintenance, parks and
recreation, and neighborhood and community services, etc. In addition, the City Council,
Administrative Services and City Attorney budgets are predominately funded by the General
Fund.
3
These activities are financed through general tax dollars from property taxes and by revenues
generated from permits, fees and investment earnings.
Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds account for activities funded by special purpose revenue, that is,
revenues that are legally restricted to expenditures for a specific purpose. The City maintains
five active special revenue funds which include: Cable Fund, EDA General Fund, EDA TIF District
#3 Cottage Villas, EDA TIF District #4 Presbyterian Homes, and EDA TIF District #5 TCAAP.
Capital Project Funds
These funds include the Equipment and Building Replacement Fund, Public Safety Capital Fund,
Parks Fund, TCAAP Capital, and the Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund (PIR). They are
used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition of equipment or
construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary funds such as
the Water and Sewer funds), i.e., the development of a new neighborhood park, or a fire
station.
Proprietary (Enterprise) Funds
These funds account for City activities that operate as public enterprises. Revenues come from
fees charged to programs, customers, or other department users. Enterprise funds that
provide for sewer and water services are proprietary funds. The City currently has four
enterprise funds (water, sanitary sewer, recycling, and surface water management) that
represent separate business activities for the City.
Water – The City provides water service to its citizens and commercial entities.
Sanitary Sewer – The City’s sewers protect public health and preserve wastewater
solids. The City is connected to the Metropolitan Council’s sewer system.
Recycling – The City provides recycling services to its citizens to protect public health
and the environment.
Surface Water Management – The City’s surface water management system collects
storm water runoff, protects the environment, and manages the discharge of water to
holding ponds and the water shed.
Proprietary (Internal Service) Funds
These funds account for City activities that operate as public enterprises and provide services
internally to other departments. Revenues come from fees charged to programs, customers, or
other department users. Internal Service funds that provide for engineering and IT services are
internal funds. The City currently has four internal service funds (Risk Management,
Engineering, Central Garage & Equipment, and Technology) that represent activities for the
City.
Risk Management – This fund provides insurance to all departments within the City.
Engineering – This fund provides engineering services for City projects, developments,
and all departments within the City.
4
Central Garage & Equipment – This fund provides the services and equipment repair for
the Public Works Department which consists of Street Maintenance, Park Maintenance,
Water Utility, Sewer Utility, and the Surface Water Management Utility.
Technology – This fund provides technology software and equipment to all
departments within the City.
Debt Service Funds
Funds for debt service track revenues and expenditures related to repayment of principal and
interest costs associated with borrowing money for long‐term obligations. The reader can find
a separate debt service schedule in this budget that provides details on all outstanding debt
owed by the City.
Fiduciary Fund Types
Trust and Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the City as an agent or trustee
for individuals, private organizations, other governments and/or funds. These include Agency
and Expendable Trust Funds. Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets and liabilities) and do
not involve Measurement of results of operations. The City currently does not have any
fiduciary funds.

Revenues
The City is dependent on the resources that generate revenue to provide for the different
services that our residents receive. This dependency is the limiting factor on what service can
be provided. These services range from the basic services of public safety and road
maintenance to services enhancing the quality of life such as parks and community events. Our
resources to generate revenue are affected by a number of factors, including City, State and
Federal laws, rates, demographics, and economic conditions. The following provides a
summary of major revenue sources and general trends:
Property Taxes
This revenue source is primarily used in the General Fund and is set at a level to raise adequate
revenue for the operating budget when combined with other expected revenues. The final
level of expected revenue should be sufficient to conduct City business in accordance with
Council policy and directives and result in a projected year‐end fund balance to cover possible
emergencies and contingencies.
Trends: Property tax levies have been increasing due to cuts in State Aid that began in 2001.
Special Assessments
A portion of the costs for public improvements is recovered by assessment charges to the
benefiting property owners. These collections are used to pay bond principal and interest on
the outstanding improvement bonds or to reimburse the City if no bonds were issued. A
majority of the special assessments are associated with road reconstruction projects within the
Capital Improvement Plan, but they also include charges against property for the collection of
delinquent utility bills or miscellaneous charges.

Trends: Special Assessment Revenues fluctuate due to the timing of Pavement Management
Plan (PMP) projects. The 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2021 collections were larger than average as
there were more prepaid special assessments.
Licenses & Permits
These fees are normally charged as a means of recovering the cost of regulation in the interest
of the overall community. Business license fees are required to be paid annually in order to
operate a business within the City. Non‐business license and permit fees are levied to finance
the cost of inspecting and regulating new construction and to cover a portion of the
administrative costs associated with monitoring activities. Building permit fees generate most
of the revenue in this category.

Trends: License revenue is expected to remain static. Building permit revenue is not expected
to change much as the City is primarily built out but commercial activity will cause fluctuations
as seen in 2016 and 2017 as existing facilities go through upgrades. This will all change once
the Rice Creek Commons (TCAAP) project begins construction. 2016 and 2017 numbers reflect
major renovations at the Land O’Lakes headquarters facility and Boston Scientific.
Intergovernmental
This represents monies from other governments in the form of grants, entitlements, and shared
revenues. The City receives a variety of shared revenues from the State of Minnesota. Prior to
2011, the major revenue within this category was Market Value Homestead Credit Aid. The
2011 legislature eliminated this program. The major revenue source is now Municipal State Aid
(MSA) maintenance for streets.
All other amounts represent small grants and aids that the City receives under various
established programs.
MSA Maintenance is a program for urban municipalities with populations of 5,000 or more.
20% of a City’s County Roads and local improved mileage are included. This includes County
Roads and County State Aid Highways (CSAH) that have reverted back to the municipality.
Police Aid is money received from the State to help with police personnel training costs. Since
Arden Hills contracts with the Ramsey County Sheriff for this service, a part of this revenue is
allocated back to Arden Hills each year to offset part of the contract costs for policing.
Trends: MSA Maintenance dollars had been gradually increasing through 2020, declined in
2021 due to COVID‐19, and increased again in 2022. A 2% increase is being budgeted for 2024.
Police Aid has remained fairly static over the last six years and is expected to remain so.
Charges for Services
This category reflects fees collected for contractual services and general services that the City
charges directly for. Included in this category are the following:
General Fund charges for services include contractual and service fee services related to
general government, public safety, and recreation.
Services to property (Utility Fees) – are collected by the utility funds from customers
(residents and business within the City) for services.
9
Trends: Charges for Services have been increasing as a whole. This is in part due to rising utility
fees to help pay for needed infrastructure improvements (see the Capital Improvement Plan
section). Fluctuations in the General Fund fees are primarily due to Plan Check Fee revenue
associated with building permits.
Fines and Forfeitures
Fines and forfeitures represent the City’s portion of traffic and code violation fees and are
collected in the General Fund. When a violation is issued by a City, Sheriff, or State Trooper
within the City Limits, a portion of the fee paid to the County is distributed to the City (based on
State Statute).
In 2011, the City adopted Administrative Fines which are seen for the first time in 2012
revenues. These are fines for violations that are 10 miles per hour (MPH) or under and also
rolling stops through stop signs. These fines are collected at the local level and serve a purpose
by providing education to the community.
Trends: Fines and Forfeiture revenue are usually fairly flat. The drop of in 2020 is due to
COVID‐19.

Franchise Fees
Franchise fees are derived from a fee imposed on cable TV revenues collected by the utilities
for usage within the City. The fees are deposited in the Special Revenue Cable Fund. Cable TV
franchise fees are used to cover communication and AV equipment costs.
Trends: The fee currently is estimated to generate approximately $94,500 per year for the
Cable Fund.
Developer Reimbursements
The County has purchased the TCAAP property. Once plans and phasing have been
determined, estimates can be made on developer reimbursements and expenditures for the
property. A Development Agreement will be entered into in which the City is reimbursed for its
expenses incurred with this acquisition.
Trends: No revenues have been budgeted at this time but once plans and phasing have been
determined, revenues are expected to offset costs incurred in connection with this project.
This will happen as part of the Joint Development Authority with Ramsey County.
Investment Earnings
Investment earnings are allocated to all funds based upon a weighted average of their daily
cash balance. For budgeting purposes, the interest earnings are projected and the allocation
from the latest Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is used. Market value changes related
to the required recognition of unrealized gains / losses are included in the estimate for
budgetary purposes.
Trends: Investment earnings are subject to the interest rate, shifts in the economy and are
dependent on what rates are available at the time investments were made.
Other Revenues
Miscellaneous sources which do not fit into any of the above mentioned revenue categories.
These sources include donations, other small unexpected payments, and non‐operating
revenues (Proprietary Funds) such as sale of scrap or surplus.
Trends: These revenues are expected to remain constant over the next several years.

Property Tax
The City of Arden Hills levies property taxes for its General Fund Operations. The levies are
allowed by State Law, and are collected from property owners by Ramsey County and
distributed to the City in July, December, and January.
Property Tax Reform
During 2001, the State Legislature passed a major Property Tax Reform Bill that dramatically
impacted State funding to local governments. Levy limits returned, and a major shift in the
State Funding of school districts resulted in the elimination of some aids for cities. The
intention of the State Legislature was to have cities make up for this lost aid through the
property tax levy. This reduced the reliance of cities on State Aid, and allows the property tax
levy to make up a larger share of the General Fund Revenues. Arden Hills did not receive a
significant portion of Local Government Aid, thus was not impacted.
As the Legislature entered the 2003 session, the situation with the economy was creating a
State Deficit of over $4 billion. The State enacted many reductions in order to balance the
budget. As part of those reductions, cities had their property tax aid decreased for 2003 and
2004. The Market Value Homestead Credit (MVHC) reduction amount for 2003 was $100,979
or 100% of the aid amount the city was initially certified to receive. The cities were then only
allowed to levy back for 60% of the permanent LGA losses from 2003 and 2004. In 2005, the
Legislature readjusted the formula for State Aid and increased the overall State Aid to cities by
$48 million. The formula change was detrimental to most inner ring suburbs and most cities in
turn saw a total elimination of its LGA.
In 2008, the State again was facing a deficit and the Government chose to unallot the second
half payments of LGA and MVHC which were to be distributed in December 2008. This was a
loss of $26,272 to the City. As the State economic forecast did not improve in 2009 or 2010, all
LGA and MVHC aid was unallotted, this was a loss of $55,923 and $61,774 for the City. In mid‐
2010, the Governor unallotted the 2011 MVHC aid which was estimated at $61,774 for Arden
Hills.
The 2011 legislature eliminated the MVHC program for 2012, thus taking local governments out
of the equation. A new program gives homesteaded property owners a Market Value Exclusion
(MVE) on the value of their property and gives these property owners basically the same effect.
However, this shifts taxes to non‐homesteaded property as each local jurisdiction is now
receiving its full levy, including the City. This results in shifting a significant portion of the City’s
levy (and other local jurisdiction’s levy) to Commercial/Industrial property and those
homesteads whose value is over $413,800 where the exclusion is eliminated.
12
Property Values (Tax Burden)
City’s Market Value and Tax Capacity
Due to the current economic conditions, the taxable market value for the City is projected to
increase by $149.4 million or 9.1% to $1.79 billion. From this, the Tax Capacity is calculated (for
residential properties it equates to 1% of Taxable Market Value, and varies by property type for
all others). The City’s Tax Capacity for calculating taxes was projected to increase by 10.3% to
$23.3 million. This plus the change in the levy is increasing the City’s tax rate from 23.632% to
24.479%.
Median Valued Home
Due to current economic conditions, the Taxable Market Value of the median valued home
within the City is projected to increase 5.74% from $443,550 to $469,000. The overall annual
City Tax burden increase on the median valued home is projected to be approximately 9.5% or
$99.86.
Property Tax Levies
The total levy being proposed is $5,310,950. This represents a $592,270 or 12.55% increase
over the 2023 levy of $4,718,680.
Anoka County sets the Fiscal Disparities levy for the entire Seven County Metropolitan Area.
This was established by the legislature in the 1970’s as a means to more evenly distribute the
property tax benefit derived by commercial properties. Cities are either a “net” gainer or a
“net” contributor. Arden Hills is a “net” gainer and will collect $351,729 in 2024 as opposed to
$385,266 in 2023, which is a decrease of 8.7%.
City Tax Rate
There are two types of tax rates that are calculated for the City. One is a net tax capacity based
rate, and the other is a market value based rate. Both rates use the market value as the
starting point for determining the rate.
Net Tax Capacity Based Rate
The Net Tax Capacity based rate is calculated by taking the levy and dividing it by the Net Tax
Capacity. Net Tax Capacity calculation is regulated by the State Legislature, which has created
classifications of property and a “class rate percentage” for each classification. The Net Tax
Capacity is determined by multiplying the market value of each property by the appropriate
class rate percentage. The sum total of all parcel tax capacities less adjustments for the City’s
Fiscal Disparity contribution, those parcels that have been certified in a Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) development district, and the MVE represent the New Tax Capacity for the city.
Currently, the General Fund Levy is Net Tax Capacity based.

Percent Change ‐0.6% 16.8% 9.9%
Market Value based rate
Market Value based rates are calculated by dividing the levy by the taxable market value of all
properties within the city. Taxable market value is calculated by taking the market value of all
properties less exclusions and limitations as set by the State Legislature.
Market Value Determination
The county Assessor determines the market value of properties through assessment, the use of
actual sales data, and economic trends. The taxes that are collected in 2024 are based on the
assessment of market values for 2023, which are certified to the County Assessor on January 2,
2023 and relate to sales and data information from 2022. All assessments are subject to review
by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. The State requires that property values be within
90% to 105% of actual sales overall.
Truth‐In‐Taxation Public Hearing
Each year in late November or early December, Statutes require all counties, school districts,
and cities with a population over 2,500 to hold a public hearing to discuss the proposed budget
and property tax levies. As part of this process, each property is sent by the county a Truth‐In‐
Taxation notice which shows the impacts of the proposed levies on their individual property.
The public hearing is set as a forum for citizens to come and discuss their views on the
proposed budget and property tax levies with the public officials of each jurisdiction. The City
held the Truth‐In‐Taxation Public Hearing on Monday, December 11, 2023.
14
Budget Assumptions
Certain assumptions are decided on as a foundation for developing a budget. These
assumptions guide the City in determining the level of service that will be provided to residents
and how those services will be funded. The City’s budget practice is to use conservative
revenue estimates to assure adequate funding of expenditures.
2024 Assumptions
The City is assuming a population growth of 1% per year until the TCAAP development occurs.
The Chart below demonstrates the City’s population growth over the prior years. After the 2010
Census, the City’s population was reported as 9,552.
As the City’s population grows, so does the demand for services. This increase in demand for
services also requires increases in parks, miles of streets, water mains and sewer lines that need
to be maintained. In 2024, the City continues various infrastructure improvements as the City’s
infrastructure ages. This growth and demand can result in the City’s operating budgets growing
faster than the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and increased infrastructure improvements can
cause the City’s per capita spending to increase.

15
As the City becomes more developed and has less land available for new residential
development, the City’s operating expenditures should increase with increases in the CPI with
the exception of a “catch‐up” in infrastructure improvements.
Current economic conditions have caused the City’s residential market values to increase by
5.74%. In 2002 the State Legislature enacted major property tax reform which lowered all
property class rates. The City’s tax capacity has allowed the city to maintain a tax rate that is
one of the lowest in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan area. Currently, the City has one of
the lowest rates in the northeast metropolitan area as shown in the graph.

As other revenue sources decrease or remain at past levels, the City becomes more reliant on
property taxes as its main revenue source. The following table summarizes the City’s property
tax levy over the last ten years.

2023 City Tax Rates

The Minnesota State Legislature enacted Market Value Homestead Credit reductions to
property owners in 2003‐2004. This credit was not reimbursed to local governments, which in
effect reduced tax revenues so local governments did not receive the full amount of their
certified levies. In 2005 the legislature reinstated these credit reductions for 2005 and 2006.
The credits were reinstated in 2007. However, due to the current economic conditions, the
second half payment for 2008 and all of the 2009 and 2010 payments were unallotted by the
Governor. All of the 2011 payments were unallotted. The 2011 legislature eliminated the
program for 2012 and replaced it with the Market Value Exclusion program previously
discussed, taking local governments out of the formula. The City began receiving its full levy in
2012, however, the full effect was seen in 2013 as Fiscal Disparities caught up with the change.
Currently there is little land available for residential development and new home construction
within the City except with the addition of the TCAAP property. Most development is
commercial/industrial and as these areas are developed there will be a decline of permit
revenues in the future. This is expected to increase in the future depending on the timing of
how the TCAAP property develops.
The City pools its cash reserves for investment purposes.
One of the City’s largest expenditure classifications is personnel services. Personnel services
include salaries and fringe benefits for all employees. For 2024, the salaries have been
budgeted with a 3.0% COLA increase for non‐union employees and a 3.0% COLA increase union
employees.
There is a 10% increase assumed for health, a 4% increase for dental and a 0.0% increase for life
insurance premiums. Overall, the city cost for insurance is increasing $36,640.
Finally, the population growth does not only affect the City’s General fund, it also affects the
City’s Water, Sewer, and the Surface Water Management operating funds. As the population
has increased, so has the number of utility customers. As the number of customers increase, so
does the revenue, the demand for service and the cost of providing the service. The chart
below shows the customer changes over the last five years.

This Fund was established to pool dividends received from the League of Minnesota Cities for positive claims
experience. This fund tracks dividend revenues and deductible costs for claims. The goal of this fund is to build a
fund balance that would allow the City to increase deductible limits in order to reduce premium costs. Dividends
received from the health insurance Co-op are also deposited in this fund to use for employee wellness activities
and to supplement the City’s contribution to health/dental insurance.
1. Cover deductible costs on claims.
2. Establish employee Wellness programs to minimize health insurance costs.
Maintain the proper level of insurance coverage and deductibles to assure the best possible coverage at the
lowest possible cost.
