Item: 2021 General Fund Budget and Property Tax Levy Discussion
City staff are eager to discuss the General Fund budget for 2021 with the City Council in
July. In anticipation of that discussion, we are accumulating a number of known changes
to the budget. These changes take the form of signed contracts or outside agency changes
over which the city has little or no control. The items of which we are aware are shown
below with their impact on the budget.
As you can see in the table, there are a number of items that we do not have a handle on
In the coming month or so, we will go through the individual department budgets in
detail. We intend to incorporate prior year spending and make some additional estimates
of what needs to be budgeted for each line item. There will certainly be additional
changes as we proceed with the budget through the preliminary adoption in September.
The purpose of this discussion is to identify areas where the Council may wish to add or
subtract from the budget to fund or defund certain programs and services.

Staff is happy to discuss budget issues and answer questions at any time with council,
property owners, and residents. After this discussion, staff will bring back a full budget,
including information on capital fund expenditures for equipment, streets, and City Hall
renovation at the Work Session on July 24.
At this meeting staff is looking for feedback from the City Council regarding any
preliminary targets for property tax levy, budget expenditure changes, and other revenue
changes.
Memorandum
Date: June 24, 2020
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Through: Mark R. Statz, City Administrator/City Engineer
From: Bruce DeJong, Finance Director
Item: Fund Balance Policy and City Hall Renovation Finance Plan
City staff would like to discuss the current fund balance policy to determine if it
accurately reflects the level of cash reserves that the City Council would like to keep on
hand. It is important to understand this policy as we formulate a Financing Plan for the
proposed City Hall Renovation Project.
Policy Review
The current policy is included as an attachment. The relevant section for this discussion
reads:
Unassigned fund balance represents the residual classification for the General
fund. Includes amounts that have not been assigned to other funds and that have
not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the General
fund. The General fund should be the only fund that reports a positive unassigned
fund balance amount.
i. The City will maintain an unassigned fund balance in the General fund of
40% to 50% of the next yearÓs budgeted expenditures of the General fund.
This will assist in maintaining an adequate level of fund balance to provide
for cash flow requirements and contingency needs because major revenues,
including property taxes and other government aids are received in the
second half of the CityÓs fiscal year.
There are several ways of calculating the amount of fund balance percentage, as shown
on the attached spreadsheet. The State Auditor calculates the fund balance as of a fiscal
year end. They divide the final fund balance by the final amount of expenditures in both
the general fund and any special revenue funds. Centerville only has the Cable TV fund
of those numbers for the current year at
the time when our next year budget is prepared. As a work around, we use the prior year
ending fund balance and compare that to budgeted expenditures
since we do know both those numbers.
We have always calculated the amount based on including both expenditures and
transfers. Our policy however says to calculate based on expenditures only. Since we
have a significant amount of transfers out for equipment replacement and street
construction, this affects the level of funds available by over $100,000.

City Hall Renovation Financing Plan
A rough budget of $300,000 (excluding Audio-Visual upgrades) has been established for
a limited scope renovation of City Hall.
An analysis of employee hours allocated to activities in the Water, Sewer, and Storm
Water funds shows that it would be appropriate, at a minimum, for 26% of the remodel
costs to be paid from these enterprise funds. Twenty six percent (26%) of the $300,000
cost to remodel would equal $78,000 to come from enterprise funds: $33,000 from
Water, $33,000 from Sewer, and $12,000 from Storm Water.
Additionally, the water department occupies, wholly, a space representing about 10% of
the entire building (excluding the Fire Hall bay area). This space is for chemical feed,
metering, SCADA and other water-only functions. Therefore, an additional 10%
($30,000) contribution from the Water Fund is proposed.
The allocation of expenses to the utility funds shown above, is the minimum that would
be appropriate. There are other methodologies to determine appropriate contributions,
such as looking at the utility fund budgets as a percentage of the overall city budgets or
the division of auditing expenses, which are determined by the number of transactions
and interactions with staff. All of these methods result in larger contributions to the
project from the utility funds.
Source % of Funding Cost
Excess General Fund Balance
64% $192,000
Sewer Utility $33,000
11%
Water Utility $33,000 + $30,000
11% + 10%
Stormwater Utility $12,000
4%
Total $300,000
Depending on how the council chooses to view the General Fund surplus, it may or may
not be totally expended on this project. Staff stands ready to help the City Council
understand the methodology of these alternatives and the policy implications as you
deliberate.
Capital Equipment Fund
The Capital Equipment Fund has a current balance of roughly $250,000. It is important
to remember that this balance sits outside of
originally had items such as City Hall HVAC, carpet and other similar items programmed
into it. Therefore, it would be very appropriate to take money from that fund to pay for
the parts of this renovation project which were specifically enumerated in our former
Capital Improvement Plans (CIPs). However,
, assuming they would come from general
fund excess fund balance. Therefore, if we use the Capital Equipment Fund to help pay
for any of the renovation project, we will need to adjust its CIP, and therefore, our annual
contribution to it, accordingly. This would be a sensible strategy, if the Council felt that
the city hall project pushed us too close to our general fund cash balance minimum.

Hi Teresa. So we have over 300 MN customers and a lot of them are not representative of our current work since they
have not updated their website in a while. If you need some more examples on top of what I sent you, I would be happy
to get those for you.
Thank you.

Proposal for Fully Mobile-Friendly Website
Upgrade, Website Service, and Support
City of Centerville, MN
5/14/20 Expiration Date: 8/14/20

Dear City of Centerville Officials and Staff,
My name is Phil Neenan, and I represent GovOffice Web Solutions (www.govoffice.com) in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Following you will find my proposal for planning, drafting, structuring, revising, programming, testing, implementing, hosting,
securing, and supporting a modern, professional, mobile-friendly website to better serve your residents.
Branding and marketing experts agree that all professional organizations should engage in a website upgrade once every few
technology and service solutions and infrastructure upgrades over time to keep pace with those expectations, and they are
presented in this proposal with a focus on the following:
monitors to small smartphone screens in both vertical and horizontal orientations. See pages 5-6.
Included in your service are enhancements to the core GovOffice Content Management System for greater editing
features and our expanding infrastructure for increased speed, security, and support. See pages 8-10.
An attractive, mobile-friendly design is not the only enhancement that you can expect. Navigation and, thus, delivery of
information will be greatly improved as well, with a focus on ease of use for your residents and staff. See page 14.
GovOffice offers numerous, flexible payment options, but our standard Agreement calls for a commitment of only 3
years, and all charges are spread evenly over those 3 years. Some national competitors require a commitment of 4 and
even 5 years! See page 15.
On behalf of the entire GovOffice Team, I thank the City of Centerville for its consideration of my proposal for a next generation
website. I look forward to discussing it with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Phil Neenan
Regional Sales Manager

Background
GovOffice is a leading provider of cost-effective, state-of-the-art websites for local governments. With its cloud-based, mobile-
friendly platform, GovOffice offers proven, easy-to-use web technology tools to enable a more efficient and responsive
government.
Launched in 2001, GovOffice was the centerpiece of a unique public-private partnership to bring website technologies to cities
across America. Founding partners included the International City-County Management Association and the League of
Minnesota Cities, with an additional 15 state municipal leagues eventually joining our partnership.
1400 local governments in 44 states and stayed true to our mission of providing state-of-the-art web technologies that meet
the needs of local government at an affordable cost.
GovOffice LLC is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Responsive Website Design (RWD) Framework
Why RWD?
The number of U.S. residents using smartphones increases each year, and the number of visits to government websites increases
RWD
website is the answer, as it conforms to any device from large desktop monitors to small smartphone screens in either portrait/
vertical or landscape/ horizontal view.
Why Now?
Simply put, RWD is not only the future, it is the present. Today your website receives twice as many visits from someone using his/
her smartphone than from any other type of device. So, local governments should be looking at RWD for its next website design,
and many already have made the switch.
While RWD itself is not new, it is a new concept to local governments that are slow to adopt new Internet technologies; far too few
of them have a Responsive Website Design in 2020. Making the switch to RWD now will not only serve your citizens better right
away, your website may be promoted as a model of excellence to communities across the region that are not yet Responsive.

needs of local government, at an affordable cost. Now we are excited to announce that we have initiated a major

Delivery of GovOffice Technology, Hosting, and Security
GovOffice has provided the website technology to over 1500 local governments for almost 20 years. We have developed
unique expertise in protecting local government websites from security concerns and delivering a proven record of reliability,
performance and data protection for our clients.
Delivery of GovOffice CMS Technology
The GovOffice technology stack is architected for redundancy and scalability. We use blade servers with Intel Xeon processors
with SSD storage. The GovOffice CMS is hosted on a load-balanced Web farm that can easily be expended as resources
require. Our application servers run Windows Server 2016 with IIS 10.0 and SQL Server 2016, which allows SSL communication
to be done over TLS 1.2. The GovOffice design framework utilizes jQuery and HTML 5 to provide Responsive designs that look
great and are optimized on both desktop and mobile browsers.
In contrast to some widely used software systems, GovOffice CMS is a proprietary system that does not have known exploits
published on public websites for hackers to exploit. The GovOffice team installs patches on a regular basis, adheres to the
highest standard of web server administration and access and logs access to all of our infrastructure.
Worry-Free Hosting & Security
All GovOffice websites include our worry-free hosting and support which includes the following services:

protected through a system-wide DDoS solution designed to combat this growing threat.
The data center utilizes an enterprise level DDoS solution developed by a leading DDoS security company, Corero. The key
benefit of the Corero solution is that it automatically mitigates DDoS attack traffic before it impacts GovOffice clients, enabling
us to keep our networks clean of attack traffic.

3-Year Budget Plan: Three Options to Continue with GovOffice at the End of Year 3
1. The original Agreement may be renewed for Years 4-6 at $700/year (same as years 1-3). At renewal, GovOffice will
repeat all of the services performed in the original Agreement (or services up to an equal dollar value), including
development of a totally new graphic design and content services and the respective levels.
This plan will keep the City in a modern, compelling Responsive Website Design at all times, and the City will be
insulated from any rate increase that occurs over the next 6 years in the areas of Annual Service & Maintenance,
Graphic Website Design, and Professional Content Services that are used to calculate the annual payment.
2. The City may opt not to renew the original Agreement, rather start an entirely new 3-year Agreement (again, with an
option for renewal for Years 4-6). The new annual charge could be less than or greater than the original Agreement,
depending on the services selected (i.e. a less advanced website or a more advanced website).
3. The City may opt out of the original 3-year Agreement and convert back to a year-to-year commitment at the then-
current, population-based Annual Service Package rate, but none of the non-recurring services will be repeated.
General Project Timeline
GovOffice website may be deployed in approximately 3.5 months (estimate only).
Responsive Website Design (RWD) process 9 weeks
Site testing across all major Web browsers and mobile devices 1 week
Complete Navigation Analysis & Restructure, Homepage Setup, Accessibility Statement 4 weeks
Webinar training/ re-training (no added charge) of GovOffice CMS for staff 90 minutes

LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT ("Lease"), is made and entered into on July 1, 2020, by
and between the City of Centerville, a Minnesota municipal corporation ("Lessor"), and
HealthEast Care System, doing business as HealthEast Medical Transportation ("Lessee")
(collectively "Parties").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Lessor is the owner of real property located at 1880 Main Street in
Centerville MN, on which Fire Station No. 3 is located ("Station 3"); and
WHEREAS, Lessee desires to lease portions of Station 3 to store and operate its
ambulances; and
WHEREAS, Lessor is willing to lease to Lessee upon such terms and conditions as
are expressed herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, Lessor and Lessee hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. LEASED PREMISES: Subject to, and upon the terms, provisions, and
conditions hereinafter set forth, Lessor does hereby lease and demise unto
Lessee, the portions of Station 3 (collectively, the "Leased Premises" or
"Premises") consisting of approximately 300 useable square feet:
Station 3: Lessee shall not have any dedicated leased space in Station 3, but
shall have the non-exclusive right to use the following areas: dayroom,
kitchen, restrooms, dispatch/staging room, decontamination restroom as
needed, and the hallways. Lessee shall also have the right to use the
apparatus bay for one ambulance, with immediate emergency access to an
exit (specific location to be assigned by the Fire Chief), as well as two
exterior parking stalls for Lessee's employees. The use of all areas is subject
to the rules, regulations and policies of Lessor, which may change from time
to time.
TERM OF LEASE: The term of this Lease shall commence as of July 1,
2020 and shall continue for a term of three years. Any prior lease between the
Parties for any portion of the Leased Premises is hereby terminated. This
Lease Agreement shall automatically renew for additional successive twelve
(12) month terms unless terminated as set forth below.
EARLY TERMINATION OF LEASE: If Lessee is no longer utilizing
2.
Station 3 to store and operate its ambulances services to Lessor, Lessee may,
at its option, terminate the Lease upon 30 days prior written notice. The
Lease may be terminated
without cause prior to the end of the term by either
Party by providing 30 days written notice to the other Party. Upon
termination of this Lease, Lessee will promptly and peaceably surrender the
Premises to Lessor in substantially the same condition existing on the
commencement date of the Lease, ordinary and reasonable use, damage and
wear excepted.
3. RENT: Lessee shall pay to Lessor Rent for the use of the Leased Premises in
the amount of $600 per month. Rent shall be payable in advance on or before
the first day of each month of this Lease.
If Lessee fails to pay Rent by the fifth day of the month in which such
payment is due, Lessee shall automatically be assessed and shall pay, as
additional Rent, a late charge equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the amount
of such late payment. Lessor reserves the right to increase Rent by
providing Lessee with written notice at least 90 days in advance of the
effective date of the increase.
4. MAINTENANCE:
a. Lessor shall be responsible for maintenance and repair of all structural
components, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, electrical, plumbing
and mechanical systems of the Premises.
b. Lessor shall be responsible for maintaining the exterior and surrounding
areas, including lawn care and snow removal.
c. Lessee shall maintain and clean the dedicated leased area within Station 3
(ambulance, day room, etc.) and shall otherwise clean any mess or clutter
created by Lessee in all other areas to which it has access (including
dishes, counters, refrigerator, etc.).
d. Lessee shall be responsible for all damage arising out of its use of the
Leased Premises, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
e. Lessee shall be responsible for the maintenance of the dedicated
garage door and automatic garage door opener provided by Lessor.
5. VISITOR AND PET RESTRICTIONS: Lessee shall not allow anyone other than its
own personnel into Station 3 unless authorized in advance by the Fire Chief. Lessee
shall not allow any pets or other non-service animals into the Fire Station.
6. LESSOR PROPERTY: Lessee acknowledges that this Lease does not grant Lessee
unfettered access to Lessor's tools, equipment, furniture or fixtures outside of the
leased and common areas. Lessee shall not use, borrow or take any Lessor tools or
equipment without express prior authorization from the Fire Chief. Tools and
equipment include hand tools, power tools, audio visual equipment, computers, and
firefighting and EMT apparatus and supplies.
7. INSURANCE: Each party represents that it has and will continue to have
appropriate levels of insurance to cover its operations, vehicles, equipment
and personnel during the term of this Lease.
All insurance required to be maintained by Lessee under this Lease shall be
effected under valid and enforceable policies issued by a reputable
insurance company or companies authorized to do business in the State of
Minnesota. Not less than 10 days prior to the Lease term, Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor certificates of all insurance required to be maintained
hereunder. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of any changes in
coverage or policy status for the policies required to be maintained under
this Lease.
8. INDEMNITY: Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor harmless
from and against any and all claims, actions, liability, and damages of every
kind and nature, and from and against all costs and expenses, including
negligence or intentional tort of Lessee, its agents, employees, licensees, or
invitees, in or about Station 3. In the event of any action or proceeding
brought against Lessor, by reason of any such claim, upon notice from
Lessor, Lessee covenants to defend such action or proceeding by counsel
satisfactory to Lessor.
Lessor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessee and its directors,
officers, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against all
loss, liability, damages and expense (including reasonable attorney's fees)
caused by any act or omission of Lessor, its officers, employees, agents,
invitees and representatives, except to the extent such loss, liability, damage
or expense is covered by insurance maintained by Lessor. Lessor and Lessee
hereby waive against the other any claims, liabilities or damages arising from
or caused by any hazard covered by the insurance maintained or required by
the waiving party.
9. NON-LIABILITY OF LESSOR: Except in the event of negligence or an
intentional act by Lessor, its agents, employees, or contractors, Lessor shall not
be liable for any loss or damage resulting from or caused by any failure to
furnish heat, electricity, water, gas, air conditioning or sprinkler system, nor for
any consequential damage arising from interruption of any utility or services.
10. ASSIGNMENT: Unless approved by Lessor, Lessee shall not assign or transfer
any of its rights under this Lease or sublease any part of the Premises.
11. DEFAULT:
a. Should any voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy be filed by or
against Lessee, Lessor may, by written notice to Lessee, immediately
terminate this Lease and terminate Lessee's right to possession of the
Premises. If Lessee does not voluntarily quit the Premises upon receipt of
notice of termination, Lessor may, in its discretion, recover sole
possession of the Premises in an eviction (unlawful detainer) proceeding,
and recover from Lessee all attorney fees, costs, and expenses relating to
such proceeding. In addition, Lessor shall be entitled to recover all
damages and other claims arising prior to the date of termination,
including without limitation, all rent due through the end of the month of
termination, damages, and attorney fees.
b. If Lessee defaults in the payment of Rent, and such default continues for
20 days after Lessor's written notice thereof to Lessee, or Lessee defaults
in the prompt and full performance of any other provision of this Lease
and such default continues for 30 days after Lessor's written notice
thereof to Lessee, or if Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or if a receiver is appointed for the property of Lessee, or if
Lessee abandons the Premises, then, and in any such event, Lessor may
by written notice to Lessee, immediately terminate this Lease and
terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises. If Lessee does not
voluntarily quit the Premises upon receipt of notice of termination,
Lessor, may, in its discretion, recover sole possession of the Premises in
an eviction (unlawful detainer) proceeding, and recover from Lessee all
attorney fees, costs, and expenses relating to such proceeding. In addition,
Lessor shall be entitled to recover all damages and pursue all claims
arising prior to the date of termination, including without limitation all
rent due through the end of the month of termination, damages, and
attorney fees.
12. RIGHT OF ENTRY: Lessor and its employees or agents shall have the right,
without any diminution of Rent, additional Rent or other charges payable
hereunder by Lessee, to enter the Premises at all reasonable times and upon
reasonable notice for the purpose of inspection, cleaning, repairing, altering or
improving the same or the Premises, but nothing contained in this provision
shall be construed so as to impose any obligation on Lessor to make any
repairs, alterations or improvements.
13. USE BY LESSEE: Lessee agrees to comply with all laws, ordinances, orders,
rules, and regulations promulgated by all government agencies which relate to
the use, condition, or occupancy of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee warrants that
it will abide by Lessor's workplace policies and the Premises will remain tobacco
and chemical free. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor has the exclusive
authority to modify and/or change its rules and regulations at any time.
Lessee shall not make any alterations or improvements to the Premises
without prior written consent of Lessor. All alterations and improvements to
