MEMORANDUM
DATE:
September 22, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Jessica Jagoe, City Administrator
FROM: Joua Yang, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Preliminary 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Preliminary 2026 General Fund Budget
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Provide feedback on the Preliminary 2026-2030 CIP Plan.
Provide feedback on the Preliminary General Fund budget for the 2026 fiscal year.
Background – CIP Plan
Annually, the City prepares a five (5) year Capital Improvement Plan for budgeting and
forecasting. The focus of the CIP is on the maintenance and protection of the City’s existing assets,
redevelopment, and investment in new initiatives. The CIP is part of the budget process, but it is
not a budget, it is a plan, and one that changes often. The CIP does not commit the Council to the
proposed projects, nor implement the assumptions made during the preparation; however, this is
the basis for the 2026 Budget as we continue with its preparation.
PIR Fund
At the September 8, 2025 Special Work Session, Council discussed the preliminary CIP at length
(Attachment A) and today will be a continuation of that discussion. Council directed staff to
provide several options to the PIR Fund that would be funded by either a levy increase or bonding,
and impact to each funding option per the below scenarios. The scenarios below assume when
bonding that it is for the PIR portions only. All project expenditures funded through the Enterprise
Funds will be serviced by revenues derived from user fees. Should the Enterprise Funds at any
point be deemed inadequate to address projected operational and capital requirements, the City
will have the ability to adjust user fees accordingly to ensure those obligations are met. Current
projections indicate the Enterprise Funds are in good financial standing.
These following italicized scenarios are new. Those scenarios that are not italicized remain
the same and are unchanged from the September 8, 2025 memo.
Page 2 of 12
The below scenarios assume no bonding and PMP project expenditures are shifted.
Scenario D assumes no bonding, PMP project expenditures are shifted, the levy is increased by
$50,000 in 2026 (previously this was 2027), and annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive
fund balance through 2033. This would result in a 0.83% or $50,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario D-1 assumes no bonding, PMP project expenditures are shifted, the levy is increased by
$100,000 in 2026, and annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive fund balance through
2035. This would result in a 1.66% or $100,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario D-2 assumes no bonding, PMP project expenditures are shifted, the levy is increased by
$120,000 in 2026, and by $100,000 annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive fund
balance through 2035. This would result in a 1.99% or $120,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario D-3 assumes no bonding, PMP project expenditures are shifted, the levy is increased by
$180,000 in 2026, and by $75,000 annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive fund balance
through 2035. This would result in a 2.99% or $180,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario D-4 assumes no bonding, PMP project expenditures are shifted, the levy is increased by
$240,000 in 2026, and by $75,000 annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive fund balance
through 2035. This would result in a 3.98% or $240,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario D-5 assumes no bonding, PMP project expenditures are shifted, the levy is increased by
$300,000 in 2026, and by $50,000 annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive fund balance
through 2035. This would result in a 4.98% or $300,000 levy increase in 2026.
The next set of scenarios assumes no bonding and no shift in PMP project expenditures.
Scenario D-6 assumes no bonding, no shift in PMP project expenditures, the levy is increased by
$100,000 in 2026, and annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive fund balance through
2029. This would result in a 1.66% or $100,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario D-7 assumes no bonding, no shift in PMP project expenditures, the levy is increased by
$120,000 in 2026, and annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive fund balance through
2029. This would result in a 1.99% or $120,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario D-8 assumes no bonding, no shift in PMP project expenditures, the levy is increased by
$180,000 in 2026, and annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive fund balance through
2035. This would result in a 2.99% or $180,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario D-9 assumes no bonding, no shift in PMP project expenditures, the levy is increased by
$240,000 in 2026, and annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive fund balance through
2035. This would result in a 3.98% or $240,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario D-10 assumes no bonding, no shift in PMP project expenditures, the levy is increased by
$300,000 in 2026, and annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive fund balance through
2035. This would result in a 4.98% or $300,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario E assumes PMP project expenditures are shifted and the City issues a bond for the PIR
portion (includes bonding for the special assessments portion) of the PMP project in 2026. Debt
Page 3 of 12
service would not start until 2027; however, the City will need to levy for the debt service starting
in 2026. This would achieve a positive fund balance through 2033. This would result in a 2.70%
or a $163,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario F assumes no shift in PMP project expenditures, the City issues a bond for the PMP
project in 2026, and increases the levy by $100,000 annually starting in 2026 and in subsequent
years thereafter. Debt service would not start until 2027; however, the City will need to levy for
the debt service starting in 2026. This would achieve a positive fund balance through 2035. This
would result in a 4.36% or a $263,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario F-1 assumes no shift in PMP project expenditures, the City issues a bond for the PMP
project in 2028, and increases the levy by $75,000 in 2026 annually starting in 2026 and in
subsequent years thereafter. Debt service would not start until 2029; however, the City will need
to levy for the debt service starting in 2028. This would achieve a positive fund balance through
2035. This would result in a 1.24% or $75,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario F-2 assumes no shift in PMP project expenditures, the City issues a bond for the PMP
project in 2028, and increases the levy by $100,000 in 2026 annually starting in 2026 and in
subsequent years thereafter. Debt service would not start until 2029; however, the City will need
to levy for the debt service starting in 2028. This would achieve a positive fund balance through
2035. This would result in a 1.66% or $100,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario G assumes PMP project expenditures are shifted, the City issues a bond for the PMP
project in 2026, and increases the levy by $50,000 annually starting in 2026 and in subsequent
years thereafter. Debt service would not start until 2027; however, the City will need to levy for
the debt service starting in 2026. This would achieve a positive fund balance through 2035. This
would result in a 3.53% or a $213,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario J assumes PMP project expenditures are shifted, the City issues a bond for the PMP
project in 2028, and increases the levy by $50,000 in 2026 and in subsequent years thereafter. Debt
service would not start until 2029; however, the City will need to levy for the debt service starting
in 2028. This would achieve a positive fund balance through 2035. This would result in a 0.83%
or a $50,000 levy increase in 2026.
Attachment C is a recap of the scenarios provided above, with the recommendations of staff,
further Council discussion is needed on the below items:
The PIR Fund has a proposed levy of $250,000 in 2026, which is unchanged from 2025. Staff
is proposing Scenarios D-1, D-10, F-2, or J to ensure the City maintains its long-term financial
solvency.
o Scenario D-1 assumes no bonding, a shift in PMP project expenditures and would
increase the levy by $100,000 starting in 2026 and annually thereafter.
o Scenario D-10 assumes no bonding, no shift in PMP project expenditures, but would
increase the levy by $300,000 starting in 2026 and annually thereafter.
o Scenario F-2 assumes no shift in PMP project expenditures, but would increase the levy
by $100,000 starting in 2026 and annually thereafter, & includes bonding for the 2028
PMP project.
o Scenario J would shift PMP projects, increase the levy by $50,000 starting in 2026 and
annually thereafter, & includes bonding for the 2028 PMP project.
o What changes, if any, should staff assume?
Page 4 of 12
The remainder of this memo is not new content and was provided to Council in the
September 8, 2025 memo.
Council directed Staff to include a $10,000 placeholder starting in 2026 and forward, for future
construction costs related to the Parks Master Plan, which has been incorporated into the proposed
budget.
Public Safety Fund
Additional changes were made to the Public Safety Capital Equipm ent Fund based on the latest
preliminary estimates from the Lake Johanna Fire Department (Attachment C, pages 21-23):
Public Safety Capital Equipment. ($247,957) Change in Fund Balance
o Expense. Addition of command vehicle replacements in 2031 and 2033, including
an engine/ladder replacement programmed in 2032 ($247,957). The levy reserve
bank and corresponding transfer to the General Fund is based on 9 new FTEs (6
fire captains and 3 firefighters).
Equipment/Building Replacement Fund
Council also directed staff to incorporate the below changes to the Equipment/Building
Replacement Fund:
Equipment/Building Replacement. $0 Change in Fund Balance
o Expense. Delayed the 1993 Case 621 Loader to 2027 and delayed the 2013 Ford
Escape to 2027. No Fund Balance impact.
Staff will bring forward an equipment replacement plan to Council in March 2026. This
plan will feature a leveled cost structure for further discussion.
Background – Tree Preservation and Landscaping Fund
Due to the strong demand and positive feedback around the 2025 Tree Trust Partnership pilot
program, Tree Trust has asked the City to continue its tree sale partnership, which promotes
environmental sustainability. The 2026 cost is estimated to be $6,750. Council’s consensus at the
August 25, 2025 Special Work Session supports the continuation to partner with Tree Trust, and
funding to come from the Tree Preservation and Landscaping Fund.
Background – General Fund Budget
Annually, City staff prepares and submits a preliminary budget to the City Council for review and
feedback. Attached to this memo is the City’s preliminary General Fund budget for the 2026 fiscal
year. Each department provided their respective forecasts for this budget.
The proposed 2026 budget is $7,518,589, an increase of $757,310 or 11.2%. For the purpose of
this discussion, there is a 15.0% or $906,103 tax levy increase reflected in the budget, of which
$754,103 for the General Fund, $100,000 for the EDA Fund, and $52,000 for the Public Safety
Capital Fund. As presented, the General Fund Budget is underfunded by $122,009, which is the
budget shortfall projected in the 2025 budget. This practice is not sustainable in the long term. A
tax levy increase of 17.1% or $1,028,112 would be needed to balance the budget in 2026.
Page 5 of 12
The table below shows the amount the General Fund Budget is underfunded at different tax levy
increase amounts.
Tax Levy Increase Underfunded Amount
5% $726,711
10% $425,310
13% $244,470
15.0% $122,009
17.1% $0
Wages and Benefits
The 2026 preliminary budget is currently being prepared which assumes a 3.0% wage adjustment
for all staff. Below is a table showing the recent history of approved COLA’s.
Year Non Union IUOE Union
2025 3.00% + addition of P&R Mgr 7.00% + 2 PW Lead Promotions
2024 3.00% 3.00%
2023 3.00% 3.00%
2022 3.00% 3.00% + addition of Fleet Lead
2021 2.00% 3.00%
2020 3.00% Market Adjustment; Minimum increase was 5.80%
2019 2.50% 2.50%
2018 2.10% 2.25%
In 2025, the City hired David Drown and Associates (DDA) to conduct a comprehensive study of
its compensation and classification structure. As a result of their work, changes were made to the
City’s wage schedule, and several non-union employees received job reclassifications. These
changes maintain the City’s competitiveness in the marketplace, putting the City at a 108% market
value or 8% above market value. Additionally, union employees negotiated a new three -year
contract.
There is a 15.0% increase assumed for health, a 4.0% increase for dental, a 0.0% increase for life
insurance premiums, and a $15,000 placeholder for the City’s share to implement the MN Paid
Family Leave required per State legislation for every employer. The number of positions included
in the budget increased by 1.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) relative to 2025 based upon Phase 2 of
the proposed Public Works organizational structure and staffing changes.
Public Safety
2026 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 13.2% or $231,220 for 2026.
DISPATCH. Dispatch costs will increase by 17.4% or $12,780 for 2026.
FIRE. The fire operating costs are expected to rise by 17.6% or $159,231 for 2026.
Please note, the SAFER grant will discontinue starting in 2027 and contract cities will need to fund
the new positions. In 2024, the City decided to raise the levy in the Public Safety Capital Equipment
Fund each year to build up a reserve for this (see chart below), in order to lower the impact of the
annual levy increases. The annual levy increase for the first 4 years would be set at $40,000 and
increase to $58,284 in 2030, then taper down starting in 2031.
Page 6 of 12
Based on demand and the needs of the contract cities, the fire department has indicated that the
current part-time model is no longer working and has proposed a 9 FTE model. Based on this new
model, the annual levy would need to increase by an additional $12,000 in 2026, then increase by
varying amounts in subsequent years per the below chart.
Staff has programmed the incremental $12,000 as a levy increase into the 2026 proposed budget.
The $754,103 tax levy increase being proposed for the General Fund is $350,872 more than
the increase needed to cover police and fire services, which makes up 53.5% of the proposed
General Fund levy increase or $403,231.
Recreation
Rec on the Go is a recreational pilot program that started in 2025 between Mounds View and Arden
Hills. The total cost in 2025 was approximately $6,000 (staffing only), which was covered by
personnel savings from other recreational programs. Due to its success, staff is seeking a separate
budget of $8,100 in 2026, which would include both staffing and supplies/materials, to continue its
operations.

Revenues
There are no significant projects included in the 2026 budget which would affect the permit
revenue. The permit revenue included reflects only the estimated recurring “base” amount, similar
to what was included in the 2025 budget.
General Fund budget to actual comparisons for the past three years is included as Attachment D.
Property Tax Levy
A survey was recently routed to various cities in the metro asking about proposed levy amounts
being considered. Below are the results of that survey, averaging 9.4%.
Little Canada 11.38% Roseville 7.8% - 13.4%

Mounds View 6% - 9% St. Anthony 6% - 16%
New Brighton 8.50% Vadnais Heights 9.18%
North Oaks 8.00% White Bear Lake 9.97%
North Saint Paul 6.50% White Bear Township 7% - 9%
Based on the County Assessor’s Report, values for the different property types have changed as
follows:
Property Type 2023 2024 2025
All Residential 5.43% 2.30% 3.79%

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
September 8, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Jessica Jagoe, City Administrator
FROM: Joua Yang, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Preliminary 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Preliminary 2026 General Fund Budget
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Provide feedback on the Preliminary 2026-2030 CIP Plan.
Provide feedback on the Preliminary General Fund budget for the 2026 fiscal year.
Background – CIP Plan
Annually, the City prepares a five (5) year Capital Improvement Plan for budgeting and
forecasting. The focus of the CIP is on the maintenance and protection of the City’s existing assets,
redevelopment, and investment in new initiatives. The CIP is part of the budget process, but it is
not a budget, it is a plan, and one that changes often. The CIP does not commit the Council to the
proposed projects, nor implement the assumptions made during the preparation; however, this is
the basis for the 2026 Budget as we continue with its preparation.
PIR Fund
At the August 25, 2025 Special Work Session, Council discussed the preliminary CIP at length
(Attachment A) and today will be a continuation of that discussion. Council directed staff to
provide several options to the PIR Fund that would be funded by either a levy increase or bonding,
and impact to each funding option per the below scenarios. The scenarios below assume when
bonding that it is for the PIR portions only. All project expenditures funded through the Enterprise
Funds will be serviced by revenues derived from user fees. Should the Enterprise Funds at any
point be deemed inadequate to address projected operational and capital requirements, the City
will have the ability to adjust user fees accordingly to ensure those obligations are met. Current
projections indicate the Enterprise Funds are in good financial standing.
Scenario D assumes no bonding, PMP project expenditures are shifted, the levy is increased by
$50,000 in 2027, and annually thereafter. This would achieve a positive fund balance through
2033, with no impact to the levy in 2026. Increasing the levy by $50,000 starting in 2026 would
increase the fund balance by an additional $400,000 by 2033.
Attachment A
Page 2 of 12
Scenario E assumes PMP project expenditures are shifted and the City issues a bond for the PIR
portion (includes bonding for the special assessments portion) of the PMP project in 2026. Debt
service would not start until 2027; however, the City will need to levy for the debt service starting
in 2026. This would achieve a positive fund balance through 2033. This would result in a 2.7%
or a $163,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario F assumes no shift in PMP project expenditures, the City issues a bond for the PMP
project in 2026, and increases the levy by $100,000 annually starting in 2026 and in subsequent
years thereafter. Debt service would not start until 2027; however, the City will need to levy for
the debt service starting in 2026. This would achieve a positive fund balance through 2035. This
would result in a 4.4% or a $263,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario G assumes PMP project expenditures are shifted, the City issues a bond for the PMP
project in 2026, and increases the levy by $50,000 annually starting in 2026 and in subsequent
years thereafter. Debt service would not start until 2027; however, the City will need to levy for
the debt service starting in 2026. This would achieve a positive fund balance through 2035. This
would result in a 3.5% or a $213,000 levy increase in 2026.
Scenario H assumes no shift in PMP project expenditures, the City issues a bond for the City’s
portion (~$1.3M) of the Old Hwy 10 trail project in 2026, and increases the levy by $150,000
annually starting in 2026 and in subsequent years thereafter. Debt service would not start until
2027; however, the City will need to levy for the debt service starting in 2026. This would achieve
a positive fund balance through 2035. This would result in a 4.1% or a $249,000 levy increase
in 2026.
Scenario I assumes PMP project expenditures are shifted, the City issues a bond for the City’s
portion (~$1.3M) of the Old Hwy 10 trail project in 2026, and increases the levy by $75,000
starting in 2026 and in subsequent years thereafter. Debt service would not start until 2027;
however, the City will need to levy for the debt service starting in 2026. This would achieve a
positive fund balance through 2035. This would result in a 2.9% or a $174,000 levy increase in
2026.
Scenario J assumes PMP project expenditures are shifted, the City issues a bond for the PMP
project in 2028, and increases the levy by $50,000 in 2026 and in subsequent years thereafter. Debt
service would not start until 2029; however, the City will need to levy for the debt service starting
in 2028. This would achieve a positive fund balance through 2035. This would result in a 0.8%
or a $50,000 levy increase in 2026.
Council also directed Staff to include a $10,000 placeholder starting in 2026 and forward, for
future construction costs related to the Parks Master Plan, which has been incorporated into the
proposed budget.
Public Safety Fund
Additional changes were made to the Public Safety Capital Equipment Fund based on the latest
preliminary estimates from the Lake Johanna Fire Department (Attachment C, pages 12-14):
Public Safety Capital Equipment. ($247,957) Change in Fund Balance
o Expense. Addition of command vehicle replacements in 2031 and 2033, including
an engine/ladder replacement programmed in 2032 ($247,957). The levy reserve
bank and corresponding transfer to the General Fund is based on 9 new FTEs (6
fire captains and 3 firefighters).
Page 3 of 12
Equipment/Building Replacement Fund
Council also directed staff to incorporate the below changes to the Equipment/Building
Replacement Fund:
Equipment/Building Replacement. $0 Change in Fund Balance
o Expense. Delayed the 1993 Case 621 Loader to 2027 and delayed the 2013 Ford
Escape to 2027. No Fund Balance impact.
Staff will bring forward an equipment replacement plan to Council in March 2026. This
plan will feature a leveled cost structure for further discussion.
Background – Tree Preservation and Landscaping Fund
Due to the strong demand and positive feedback around the 2025 Tree Trust Partnership pilot
program, Tree Trust has asked the City to continue its tree sale partnership, which promotes
environmental sustainability. The 2026 cost is estimated to be $6,750. Council’s consensus at the
August 25 Special Work Session supports the continuation to partner with Tree Trust and funding
to come from the Tree Preservation and Landscaping Fund.
Background – General Fund Budget
Annually, City staff prepares and submits a preliminary budget to the City Council for review and
feedback. Attached to this memo is the City’s preliminary General Fund budget for the 2026 fiscal
year. Each department provided their respective forecasts for this budget.
The proposed 2026 budget is $7,518,589, an increase of $757,310 or 11.2%. For the purpose of
this discussion, there is a 15.0% or $906,103 tax levy increase reflected in the budget, of which
$754,103 for the General Fund, $100,000 for the EDA Fund, and $52,000 for the Public Safety
Capital Fund. As presented, the General Fund Budget is underfunded by $122,009, which is the
budget shortfall projected in the 2025 budget. This practice is not sustainable in the long term. A
tax levy increase of 17.1% or $1,028,112 would be needed to balance the budget in 2026. The table
below shows the amount the General Fund Budget is underfunded at different tax levy increase
amounts.
Tax Levy Increase Underfunded Amount
5% $726,711
10% $425,310
13% $244,470
14.8% $122,009
17.1% $0
Wages and Benefits
The 2026 preliminary budget is currently being prepared which assumes a 3.0% wage adjustment
for all staff. Below is a table showing the recent history of approved COLA’s.

Page 4 of 12
2019 2.50% 2.50%
2018 2.10% 2.25%
In 2025, the City hired David Drown and Associates (DDA) to conduct a comprehensive study of
its compensation and classification structure. As a result of their work, changes were made to the
City’s wage schedule, and several non-union employees received job reclassifications. These
changes maintain the City’s competitiveness in the marketplace, putting the City at a 108% market
value or 8% above market value. Additionally, union employees negotiated a new three-year
contract.
There is a 15.0% increase assumed for health, a 4.0% increase for dental, a 0.0% increase for life
insurance premiums, and a $15,000 placeholder for the City’s share to implement the MN Paid
Family Leave required per State legislation for every employer. The number of positions included
in the budget increased by 1.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) relative to 2025 based upon Phase 2 of
the proposed Public Works organizational structure and staffing changes.
Public Safety
2026 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 13.2% or $231,220 for 2026. Information provided
by Ramsey County on this increase is as follows:
The major cost drivers include:
Competitive wages as a result of labor contracts and increased costs related to employee
health insurance (i.e. increased paid parental leave, new state law for paid medical leave).
The RCSO has stated that 2026 should be viewed as an adjustment year as employee
compensation was brought in line with neighboring local governments after a significant
lag.
Increased costs related to county fees for insurance and administrative overhead/indirect
costs.
DISPATCH
Dispatch costs will increase by 17.4% or $12,780 for 2026.
FIRE
The fire operating costs are expected to rise by 17.6% or $159,231 for 2026. This is mainly due to
the addition of 9 full-time staff (6 fire captains and 3 firefighters), which is an increase of 3 FTEs
in 2026; step, COLA, and market adjustments; and an increase in repairs and maintenance, all of
which Arden Hills’ cost share portion is 24.4%.
Please note, the SAFER grant will discontinue starting in 2027 and contract cities will need to fund
the new positions. In 2024, the City decided to raise the levy in the Public Safety Capital Equipment
Fund each year to build up a reserve for this (see chart below), in order to lower the impact of the
annual levy increases. The annual levy increase for the first 4 years would be set at $40,000 and
increase to $58,284 in 2030, then taper down starting in 2031.
Page 5 of 12
Based on demand and the needs of the contract cities, the fire department has indicated that the
current part-time model is no longer working and has proposed a 9 FTE model. Based on this new
model, the annual levy would need to increase by an additional $12,000 in 2026, then increase by
varying amounts in subsequent years per the below chart.
Staff has programmed the incremental $12,000 as a levy increase into the 2026 proposed budget.
The $754,103 tax levy increase being proposed for the General Fund is $350,872 more than the
increase needed to cover police and fire services, which makes up 53.5% of the proposed General
Fund levy increase or $403,231.
Recreation
Rec on the Go is a recreational pilot program that started in 2025 between Mounds View and Arden
Hills. The total cost in 2025 was approximately $6,000 (staffing only), which was covered by
personnel savings from other recreational programs. Due to its success, staff is seeking a separate
budget of $8,100 in 2026, which would include both staffing and supplies/materials, to continue its
operations.

General Overview
A summary of the major changes in the 2026 budget is as follows:
The table below shows the original adopted budget for the General Fund compared to the final
audited numbers from 2015 - 2024. As you can see, the City has performed better than the budget
for all the years shown due to conservative budgeting. Please note that the 2020 actuals include
revenue from the CARES Act in the amount of $459,614, and this was a one-time occurrence. The
Transfers Out column shows the funds that were transferred to cover capital projects within the
City.

Discussion
CIP Plan
Staff is seeking direction from the City Council regarding the following items:
The PIR Fund has a proposed levy of $250,000 in 2026. Staff is proposing Scenarios D or J.
o Scenario D would shift PMP projects and increase the levy by $50,000 starting in 2027
and annually thereafter.
o Scenario J would shift PMP projects, increase the levy by $50,000 starting in 2026 and
annually thereafter, & includes bonding for the 2028 PMP project.
o What changes, if any, should staff assume?
The Public Safety Capital Equipment Fund Staff is proposing an increase of $52,000 in 2026
and additional increases in subsequent years to absorb the 9 full-time staff and ensure a healthy
fund balance long-term. What changes, if any, should staff assume?
General Fund & Preliminary Levy
Staff is respectfully requesting the City Council to review the preliminary budget and provide
feedback for future budget meetings. The 2026 proposed levy and public meeting date need to be
set prior to the end of September 2025. Direction is needed from the City Council on the following
items:
Current wage and benefit assumptions include a 3% COLA for both union and non-union staff,
a 15% health insurance increase, and a 4% dental insurance increase. Should any of these
assumptions be changed?
This preliminary budget does not include any significant building projects for 2026. Should a
building project be added?
This preliminary budget includes the Public Works Phase 2 staffing changes starting on January
1, 2026. Should that assumption be changed?
This preliminary budget includes assumptions for the Rec on the Go programming. Should
those assumptions be changed?
Are there other assumptions or changes staff should incorporate?
This preliminary budget contains a 15.1% levy increase. Is another work session needed to
further discuss the preliminary levy increase?

Council Considerations
The PIR Fund has a proposed levy of $250,000, which is unchanged from
2025. Staff is proposing Scenarios D-1, D-10, F-2 or J.
Scenario D-1 assumes a shift in PMP project expenditures and would increase the levy by
$100,000 starting in 2026 and annually thereafter. No Bonding.
Scenario D-10 assumes no shift in PMP project expenditures, but would increase the levy
by $300,000 starting in 2026 and annually thereafter. No Bonding.
Scenario F-2 assumes no shift in PMP project expenditures, but would increase the levy by
$100,000 starting in 2026 and annually thereafter, & includes bonding for the 2028 PMP
project.
Scenario J would shift PMP projects, increase the levy by $50,000 starting in 2026 and
annually thereafter, & includes bonding for the 2028 PMP project.
Based on the scenarios staff provided, what changes, if any, should staff
assume?
15
Council Considerations, Cont’d
The Public Safety Capital Equipment Fund assumes a $52,000 levy increase in
2026 and additional increases in subsequent years to cover the City’s share of
9 FTEs (6 fire captains and 3 firefighters). What changes, if any, should staff
assume?
The Equipment/Building Replacement Fund has a proposed levy of $100,000,
which is unchanged from 2025. Staff will bring forward an equipment
replacement plan in March 2026 for further discussion.
16
Council Feedback
Are there other assumptions or changes staff should incorporate?
Questions, comments or concerns about the projects for 2026?

Attachment A is the list of topics that have yet to be discussed by Council and the 2025 ranking
of priority topics. Staff will begin to work the higher priority items into upcoming Work
Sessions sooner while putting the lower priority items to later discussions. Please note, this does
not reflect all items at Work Sessions as Staff will have necessary items for discussion, such as,
budget discussions, concept plan reviews, or Public Works projects that need timely direction.
Council may want to discuss whether any items need to be added to this list for future discussion
or assign a future meeting for some of these items. This would need to be done by a majority
consensus of Council.

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.
