DATE: September 9, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
FROM: Bryce Shearen, CPRE — Bolton and Menk, Inc.
Lucas J. Miller, Assistant Public Works Director
SUBJECT: 2025 Park Improvements Project - Arden Oaks Park & Freeway Park Open House
and Online Survey Results, PTRC Input and Design Scope Direction
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$230,000 — Arden Oaks Park $TBD PIR — Parks,
$245,000 — Freeway Park SLP Lions Club Donation
Council Should Consider
• Selecting and directing ordering of the final play structures and colors from the
playground vendor, as well as the design of the playgrounds from Bolton and Menk, Inc.
for the proposed 2025 Park Improvement Project at Arden Oaks Park and Freeway Park
after consideration of the survey results and inputs from the PTRC.
Background
At the March 11, 2024 Work Session, Staff presented to City Council an introduction to the
Arden Oaks Park & Freeway Park Improvement Project. Arden Oaks Park and Freeway Park
play structures and swings were built in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Through the City's Park
Maintenance Management Plan, park equipment is to be considered for replacement on a 20-year
cycle. Within the 2024-2028 CIP, Arden Oaks Park and Freeway Park are programmed for
improvements in 2025.
On April 8, 2024, Bolton and Menk, Inc. (BMI) provided a Professional Services Agreement
(PSA) that included online survey development, public engagement, survey analysis, planning
level cost estimates based on feedback and a Public meeting presentation to Council. On May 28,
2024 Bolton & Menk presented to Council breaking down in detail the survey results. At the
following Work Session on June 10, 2024, Council defined more the scope of the project. The
PSA Amendment No. 1 was then approved by Council at the June 24, 2024 Council Meeting for
Bolton & Menk related to the project scope for the Arden Oaks Park & Freeway Park
Improvement Project to take the project all the way through Closeout.

Since the last Work Session on June loth, the project had its Open House at City Hall on
Thursday, August 8th, there were approximately 30 people that attended. Also, there was an
additional online survey which was advertised to resident users through the month of August.
The results of the open house and online survey are combined and summarized within the memo
from BMI in Attachment A.
At the PTRC meeting on August 20th, the PTRC reviewed the available survey results from both
the open house and the online survey. The PTRC recommended that Council move to follow the
majority recommendation of the park users from the surveys for both the play structure types and
the play structure colors. PTRC also added a comment stating that they would recommend that a
shade structure also be added to the project scope at Arden Oaks Park.
Discussion
Council should consider the survey results for both parks, the PTRC recommendations and select
the final play structures and colors from the playground vendor. There are potential needs for
ADA Access with updated play structures to align with Arden Hills' overall general practices
and requirements from the U.S. Access Board's Standard Practice which will be discussed
further during the meeting for this item. If given direction, staff will move forward with ordering
the structures and bring that item back to Council at a regular meeting for formal approval.
The next steps of this project will be reviewing options for the landscaping or fencing barrier at
Freeway Park along the on -ramp to Highway 51 and any input on final design and layout of site
amenities.
Budget Impact
The 2025 Park Improvement Project, as programmed in the 2024-2028 CIP, is budgeted for the
replacement of the play structures, rehabilitation of the hardcourts and some miscellaneous items
that relate to the play structure or hardcourts or items that have been consistent in recent past
Park Improvement Projects.

Playground design boards were set up in the council chambers at city hall for the community to vote on.
Each park had four different design options that fit within the existing playground containers. While
playground equipment designs have many variables, the designs provided are within the budgeted
amount and incorporate elements heard from the engagement survey (i.e. height of structure, different
elements at each park, elements for older children, climbing/rope elements, and swings). Paper vote
ballots were available as well as an online form for open house attendees to utilize to vote. Staff was
also available at the event to help answer questions.
The event was successful with getting feedback from many different people from all age groups.
Overall, twenty-one responses were received.
Additional themes from open house attendees that was heard:
• Would like to have seen more shade options
• Utilize one of the swing bays as an ADA swing
• Appreciate the color palettes that are lighter in color
• Residents appreciate the playground equipment being updated
• Consider a non-traditional play structure at Freeway Park
Additional comments heard:
• Resident was hoping to see a nature play option
• Resident did not want to see bright colors
• Resident would like to see more swings if possible
• Resident would like to see something other than wood -fiber surfacing
• Resident would have liked to see the playground equipment container size increase to
accommodate more equipment

# RESPONSES
Can't wait for new playgrounds !!!
Have a few free-standing things like the "ride" in Arden Oaks 3 (also 1 and 4, but I liked the
ride best). Don't have everything clustered in one tight spot. Some kind of bridge is fun. My
kids like when they can go between sections a long ways without touching the ground
(connected transitons). It should have at least 2 slides and some kind of monkey bars
(hanging item). A zip line can be fun. Something that challenges their balance a little could be
good. I'm glad there will be swings no matter which style you choose. My kids also liked those
diggers (excavator?). It is good to have something they can manipulate and learn coordination.
Maybe something they pedal and it causes something else to happen that they can control.
Also, perhaps somehting with components kind of like a mousetrap game that they can
arrange and trigger creatively. You want a play area that elicits activity, exercise, coordination,
uses different muscles and skills, and encourages creativity and fun play. It would also be
good to have things that require more than one person to make work so it fosters cooperation.

We live across the street and watch people everyday at park! I love these designs, however 1 8/17/2024 9:21 AM
really want to strongly suggest the addition of more swings because the tween & teen aged
residents still like to gather at park and the most used equipment for them are the swings! Or
even a teeter totter or Balance Board device. Please feel free to contact me for any other
questions. My degree is in kinesiology and I'd love to see one piece of equipment geared
towards the older age group. Teens/Tweens need movement now more than ever:-)
4
Thank you! Please focus on ninja course style activities for 5-12 year Olds. There are lots of
8/17/2024 7:48 AM
parks for younger kids nearby, but less for the middle aged children.
5
It looks great! Would love an upgrade to the playground at Lake Johanna but appreciate that
8/16/2024 6:53 PM
things were repaired at the playground!
6
Thank you for this opportunity for input.
8/16/2024 3:14 PM
7
Please make sure the parks also include appearing to older children. The one by us was
8/16/2024 1:09 PM
replaced a few years back at Cummings and overall I think it took my son and some of his
friends out of it unfortunately. There's one swing and one supported swing and no real big slide.
We don't use it like we used to.
8
how about sharing the costs of these so we can decide if we like any of the options we will be
8/16/2024 12:17 PM
paying for.
9
We would really appreciate a fence around Freeway park as well due to the proximity to the
8/16/2024 10:53 AM
busy entrance ramp.
10
Please include bike racks
8/16/2024 9:42 AM
11
Please keep the basketball/pickleball court at freeway park. I would love a fence at the on
8/16/2024 9:29 AM
ramp to smelling at freeway park as well. There is a safety concern here.
12
Please make sure they are not apartment size but community size. The park equipment has
8/16/2024 9:22 AM
been getting smaller which doesn't make sense!
13
My kids love Zip Lines as well.
8/16/2024 9:05 AM

The Cummings Park playground replacement in Arden Hills was awful. No one ever plays on
8/16/2024 7:03 AM
the area for "big" kids because it's almost unusable and not fun. The area for small kids is only
good for toddlers. My kids went from having a fun playground they could use to never using it,
and I was overall use appear to go way down. Please create a park where bigger kids actually
want to play, especially now that Cummings Park is unusable for kids much over toddler age.
Stick to the basics like bigger slides, areas kids can run on the equipment, swings that bigger
6/7
Arden Oaks Park & Freeway Park Equipment Poll
and smaller kids can use, not "creative" equipment ideas separate from the main playground
structure like the big kid area at Cummings Park that isn't fun.
15 Freeway park needs to have an updated basketball/pickleball court too with a light. 8/15/2024 9:43 PM
16 These are great ideas! Thanks for organizing these changes! 8/15/2024 9:34 PM
17 1 like the idea of having these as "adaptive" as possible so that kids of all abilities can use 8/15/2024 5:19 PM
them.
18 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put some shade where the seating for adults is. Literally nothing 8/15/2024 5:03 PM
worse on a hot day than baking in the sun at a playground, especially if you have a newborn or
infant that cannot play with siblings

The market analysis consistently uses the identified and approved benchmark communities. Benchmarks are generally
decided upon your region and communities in which you are similar to you in terms of size, service offerings, tax capacity,
and/or other organizations with whom you may compete for employees.
We have used this same list for this market review.

Like most of the communities in your comparison group, Arden Hills has a pay grid that utilizes a grade and step system
consisting of 25 grades each with 9 steps. The City uses a point factor system called SAFE, which determines a
classification of job positions by evaluating the following areas:
• Skill Level
• Training and Ability
• Experience
• Level of Work
• Human Relation Skills
2 1 P a g e
• Physical Demands
• Working Conditions and Hazards
• Independence of Actions
• Impact of End Results
• Supervision Exercised
Job Wage data was collected on a sampling of jobs that you have in common with benchmark jurisdictions. The
information was collected from each benchmark.

Overall, the current pay system matches the market averages well. The current pay structure is calibrated at 5% under the
market average minimum and maximum rates. Currently of the 26 employees, 14 are maxed out of the pay grid.
Council Pay Philosophy:
A pay philosophy is set by the City Council to provide direction and guidance and clarity for making compensation
decisions for the City of Arden Hills. DDA Human Resources met three times with the Council to discuss the market, their
desired pay philosophy and reviewed several pay grid options. From reviewing pay grids above and at market average,
the Council then began to review implementation strategies. From cutting 1, 2 and three steps and adding 1, 2, and three
steps to the current pay grid and to include several entire grid adjustments, the Council was determined to pay employees
above market average.
The Council agreed to pay above market average with the following new pay grid:Steps

5 1 P a g e
Recommended Plan Adjustments for 2025:
Since DDA was at our last meeting, there were discrepancies around implementation. Dr. Melvin presented the
implementation to occur as follows:
1. 3% COLA on January 1, 2024
2. Cut 3 add 3 steps to grid
3. Move employees into the grid at the closest step to their current wage, without taking away any wages
4. Anniversary step on anniversary date
5. Adjusted City Administrator to step 3, as position is currently vacant
6. Result on average of about 6% for employees
Total Cost: $124,546
Conversations around implementation with Council have raised the question that employees should stay at their
current step moving into the grid. Meaning that if they were on step 8, they will move into the grid at Step 5 (after cut 3)
and implementation as follows:

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 9, 2024
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
TO: Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
FROM: Joua Yang, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Preliminary 2025 General Fund Budget
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount:
N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Funding Source:
N/A
Provide feedback on the Preliminary General Fund budget for the 2025 fiscal year.
Background
3C
A budget workshop was held with the Council on August 19, 2024. Staff was directed to provide
proposed maximum levy increase options needed to balance the General Fund based upon proposed
levy scenarios. Most of the budget information contained below remains the same, with the
exception of updated information outlined here:
Ramsey County Sheriff Office's contract increase of $35,990 based on the final 2025
approved budget
EDA levy transfer of $100,000 to the General Fund, which is a net neutral levy impact
Personnel changes based upon Option I of the David Drown and Associates (DDA)
compensation and class study
State law requires that cities certify their proposed property tax levies to the county auditor by
September 30th of each year. At the September 23, 2024 City Council meeting, the City Council
will need to decide the maximum levy that it is willing to approve and adopt. There will be another
budget workshop in November, prior to the final levy and budget adoption meeting in December.
The final levy will be set in December 2024.
Discussion
Wages and Benefits
The 2025 preliminary budget currently being prepared assumes a 3.0% wage adjustment for all
staff, reclassification changes (for non -union employees), and adjustments to the current wage
schedule which is based upon the latest compensation study prepared by DDA. These changes
maintain the City's competitiveness in the marketplace, putting the City at a 108% market value or
8% above market value. There is also a 10% increase assumed for health, a 4% increase for dental
Page 1 of 6
and a 0.0% increase for life insurance premiums. The number of positions included in the budget
remains unchanged from 2024.
Below is a table showing the recent history of approved COLA's.

Public Safety
2025 budget information was received from Ramsey County and the Lake Johanna Fire Department
for public safety.
• POLICE. The police contract is expected to increase by 11.1 % or $176,048 for 2025.
• DISPATCH. Dispatch costs will be increasing by 4.5% or $3,180 for 2025.
• FIRE. The fire operating costs are expected to rise by 8.7% or $72,391 for 2025.
The $740,349 tax levy increase being proposed for the General Fund is $488,730 more than the
increase needed to cover police and fire services, which makes up 34.0% of the proposed levy
increase or $251,619.
Revenues
There are no significant projects included in the 2025 budget which would affect permit revenues.
Permit revenues reflect the 2024 budget with no new projects anticipated.
General Fund budget to actual comparisons for the past two years is included as Attachment C.

Council Discussion
Staff is seeking direction from the City Council regarding the following items:
CIP Funding Update — Franchise Fees & Debt Service
Included in this budget are franchise fee assumptions of $375,000 annually, estimated to start in
2025 to offset debt service for the new fire station. Per the August 19 budget workshop, Council
directed staff to work with the City's financial advisor, Ehler's, to determine the timing and
structure of a bond issuance to occur in the Spring of 2025, in order to align with the anticipated
development of the new fire station. Attachment G are the preliminary Series 2025 general
obligation CIP bond schedules provided by Ehler's, highlighting one scenario at current market
bank qualified (BQ) AAA rates and the second scenario at current market BQ AAA rates with a
75 basis points cushion. The scenarios assume the City will issue bonds at a par value between
$4,645,000 and $4,690,000, of which $4,425,000 would be directed to the project construction
fund, with remaining funds to cover the costs of issuance, underwriter fees, and interest. Each
scenario assumes the bonds would settle on May 15, 2025 at different maturity dates of 10 years,
15 years, and 20 years. What changes, if any, should staff assume?
Given Council's previous feedback towards implementing a franchise fee to offset debt service for
the new fire station, Council may want to discuss what, if any, additional public engagement is
needed. A separate public hearing for franchise fees is not required, the City can choose to approve
ordinances and a franchise agreement with Xcel Energy. If Council decides to move forward with
a franchise fee, Staff recommends having it in place no later than 90 days prior to implementation
date.
Preliminary Lew Adoption
At the September 23, 2024 City Council meeting, the City Council will need to decide the
maximum levy that it is willing to approve and adopt. What levy scenarios does Council want
staff to bring forward for the preliminary levy adoption?
Budget Impact
None.

discuss if any items need to be added to this list for future discussion or assign a future meeting

Agenda Setting Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish a method for agenda setting that allows for Council to
review and have control over its agendas and decide as a Council how it wants items for
consideration to be brought forward.
For regular worksession agendas:
• Prior to concluding each regularly scheduled worksession, the City Council shall review
its next regularly scheduled worksession agenda and direct Staff on any changes.
• Should an individual Councilmember want to raise an item for discussion at the next
meeting or in the future, they would do so during this review period. The item would
need at least one other Councilmember to agree to having the item considered for future
discussion, and then Council, by majority, would direct to have it placed on a future
agenda or not.
Staff will have flexibility to add or remove items to the worksession as needed to
maintain operational efficacy.
For regular City Council meeting agendas:
• Agendas will be largely Staff driven based on approvals needed for normal operations.
• Items coming from the City Council shall first be discussed at a worksession and can
direct Staff at said worksession to bring items forward for formal approval if needed.
• In rare instances, if a Councilmember brings forward an item that needs approval prior to
going to a worksession, they may request the City Administrator add the item to the
agenda. The City Administrator shall have the discretion to determine if the issue should
be added or not, but Councilmembers will make every effort to having the item first
discussed at a worksession.
Special meetings and emergency meetings:
• Special meetings and emergency meetings may still be called at the discretion of the
Mayor or any two Councilmembers, and the members calling the meeting shall set the
agenda.
