Mayor and City Council
Pat Klaers, City Administrator
DATE: August 26, 1996
SUBJECT: Budget Worksession
The first City Council worksession on the 1997 budget is scheduled for
Monday, August 26, 1996, in the training room after some regular
council business is completed. The proposed maximum levy and budget must
be approved by the City Council and certified to the county no later than
September 16, 1996. For all practical purposes, this means that the City
Council must finalize the budget and determine its proposed maximum levy
sometime around September 9-12. Additionally, by September 16, 1996, the
City Council must establish its December, 1996 public hearing dates for the
1997 budget and tax levy.
There are only a few non-budget items on this 8/26/96 City Council agenda,
so most of the evening will be dedicated to reviewing and discussing issues
related to the 1997 proposed budget. The budget worksession agenda looks
something like the following:
· Review status of 1996 Council Contingency budget
· 1997 proposed expenditures
· 1997 proposed revenues
· Status of city levy and general fund tax revenues
· Discuss the 1997 "budget gap"
· Evaluate 1997 personnel and capital outlay goals
· Review special levy and special revenue budget pages
· Review necessary City Council action by September 16, 1996
· Discuss miscellaneous financial issues and CIP items (most of which were
reviewed in my 8/5/96 memo)
The city budget issues in 1997 are the same that the city has had to deal with
in the past few years. The challenge facing us is a healthy challenge and
relates to how the city can finance the growth that it is experiencing. This is
a much better problem to be dealing with and working on than problems on
the opposite end of the spectrum where the community is declining in
population and tax base. The budget concerns in 1997 relate to how the city
can finance necessary personnel additions and programs when the only real
increase in revenues comes from taxes due to new construction and property
reassessments.

TAXES
For budgeting purposes, the city is projecting its general fund tax revenue to
increase by the identical amount that it did last year. The 1996 general fund
property tax revenues increased by $337,400 and this amount is also being
used in the 1997 budget. In 1996, the City Council approved this amount of
tax increase in the general fund based on the assumption that the net tax
capacity (NTC) in the city would increase by 15% and that the net effect
would be no change in the city tax rate. This did not quite turn out to be the
actual case, but it was very close. Tax revenues can increase in the budget
without a tax rate increase due to additional tax base being added to the
community through new development and the reassessment of existing
properties to reflect the current market. If the total tax rate for the city,
county and school district does not change, then property owners would see a
change in their taxes only if their valuation increased or decreased. The total
tax rate for the city, county and school district in Elk River went down last
year from 104.321 to 103.497.
The impact of this 1997 proposed additional tax revenue on the city tax rate
is unknown at this time due to not having the NTC information available
from the county. If the city's NTC increases about 15 percent like it did last
year, there will be a very minor (if any) change in the city tax rate in order to
generate this amount of additional tax revenue. However, if the city NTC
only increases 10 percent this year, then generating $337,400 in additional
general fund tax revenues will cause the city tax rate to increase about 5
percent (or about 1.2 from 24.033 to 25.233). At this time it is uncertain as to
what our NTC increase will be for 1997.
The city's share of the total tax burden is about 23 percent. Accordingly, if
the city tax rate changed from about 24 to 25.2 then this is a 5 percent
increase. If the county and school district had no tax rate change, then this
city increase would be "diluted" to about a I percent total increase. Again,
this is in reference to the tax rate and does not take into consideration any
increase in valuation that individuals may see in the property that they own.
The council should note that even with $337,400 of additional general fund
tax revenues being projected, the city is still facing a "budget gap" whereby
requested expenditures exceed available revenues. This budget gap relates
directly to additional personnel requests and capital outlay items. We should
look at the increase of $337,400 as a worst case situation and balance the
budget using this tax revenue figure. Then we can make further adjustments
as deemed appropriate by the council. The council should also note that in
September we are talking about the proposed maximum lev¥~ and that this
amount can be reduced in December once a more accurate NTC amount is

determined by the county. We hope to have some fairly accurate NTC
information from the county by Monday's budget worksession, but no
information is available at this time.
PERSONNEL
Personal services in the 1997 budget are projected to increase by $314,650 to
a total of $3,092,750. Personal services amount to approximately 67 percent
of the total general fund expenditures, and this is consistent with previous
years. By comparison, personal services increased by $342,350 in the 1996
budget. In 1997, personal services are projected to increase partly due to new
employees being hired in 1996 and these new employees being originally
financed out of the City Council contingency fund. The new employees that
are planned to be hired in 1996 that now show up in each individual
department include the following:
· three new police officers (partially offset by COPS Fast revenue)
· housing inspector
· ½ time administrative office service worker
· part time fire inspectors
· planning intern.
In an effort to meet the demands of a growing population, additional
personnel is generally required. The city expects less additional new
employees to be hired in 1997 as compared to 1996. Nonetheless, it is
projected that we will be considering a mechanic in the street department,
some part time seasonal park employees, a park ranger for the summer, some
additional fire inspection hours, and a change in the police department office
service worker status from part time to full time. Funds for more than these
positions will be difficult to locate. Nonetheless, the City Council will also be
asked to review the need for a part time seasonal office service worker in the
building/zoning department, a police investigator, a full time fire inspector,
and some other positions that are sure to surface as the budget discussions
continue.
All of the funding for wage increases and new employees is located in the
City Council contingency fund. This allows the City Council maximum
flexibility in the timing of hiring new employees and in deciding which new
employees should be added to the staff. As funds are spent, the Council
Contingency money is allocated to various departments.

August 26, 1996

Another significant component of the budget for the City Council to review at
its worksession is capital outlay purchases. The need for additional capital
outlay items is increasing as the demand for more and better services also
increases. In addition to the capital outlay items iclenfifieel in the budget,
this financial concern also relates to the capital improvement program that is
typically discussed in the winter. On Monday, we may have an opportunity
to discuss some of these capital improvement program items that have been
progressing forward this summer, along with the capital items in the 1997
budget.
The 1997 budget also includes a new department called Sustainable City
Energy Showcase (SCES), and a new operating budget outside of the general
fund for the ice arena. Additionally, some organizational changes in the
general fund will be reviewed with the council on Monday.
At the 8/26/96 City Council budget worksession, the City Council will be
asked to review the typical budget issues that it sees every year. These
issues include taxes, determining the highest priority for new employees, and
deciding what type of capital outlay equipment should be purchased. A key
discussion point on Monday will be available tax revenues and the city's
NTC. Attached for your review are some budget summary pages. Based on
these figures, the budget gap is "only" $75,400. The detailed pages will be
distributed at the worksession. Summary pages don't tell the entire story,
but this information is offered for background material in preparation for
Monday's meeting. On Monday, staff will be prepared to discuss the revenue
and expenditures and the tax levy in as much detail as desired by the City
Council.

MMUA Safety Compliance Program
Introduction
The Mimiesota Municipal utiiitie~ AsSoCiation is implementing a safet~ compliance' '
Program offered to city governments and public utilities. Communities or association
members join together to make a safety group to share the costs of a Safety Coordinator.
The Safety Coordinator will spend two days a month in each community to provide the
following services:
- Assist in developing and maintaining all compliance records and written
programs
- Keep safety manuals current
~ Plan and organize monthly safety meetings
- Regularly monitor safety training requirements
- Document all safety meetings and training provided
- Prepare or over-see required State and Federal reports
Effective September 1, MMUA will be starting a Safety Compliance Prograrr~ Group
within our area. The Utilities Commission has already approved to participate in
MMUA's Safety Program. The cost for the City and the Utilities to participate in the
program is approximately $16,500, of which approximately $10,000 would be the City's
share.
Background
The City's Safety Committee, which first met in February, was formed to develop
written city-wide safety policies and programs designed to comply with OSHA and state
regulations. The Committee has since drafted a written Employee Safety Manual and
Right-to-Know Program. In addition, the Committee has implemented a centralized
safety record-keeping system and initiated a job hazard assessment survey.
13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425
However, because the Safety Committee is composed of City employees, many do not
have the expertise or knowledge of the laws pertaining to safety compliance management.
Therefore, it would be beneficial to participate in a program that would provide us with
the guidance and training for all our safety issue needs.
Action.
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion to participate in MMUA's
Safety Compliance Program.

I_ce Arena Update
City Administrator Pat Klaers indicated that the School board approved the joint
powers agreement which governs the ownership, operation and maintenance of
the proposed ice arena facility and the resolution which approves the ice arena
project and financing. The City Administrator requested that the Council
consider approving these documents. He indicated that approval of the
resolution allows the city to sell general obligation bonds for the project. He
further indicated that approval of the joint powers agreement allows the city to
obtain the construction materials and supplies for the ice arena project on a tax
exempt basis.

_Consider Increase in Pay for Utilities Commission
City Administrator Pat Klaers indicated that the Elk River Utilities Commissioners
currently receives $100 per month. This amount changed in 1989 and was the first
increase in many years. The City Administrator stated that it is expected that the
Utilities Commission will be holding extra meetings in 1996 and possibly meeting
on a bi-monthly basis as opposed to a monthly basis.
The Council discussed the possibility of increasing the $100 stipend.
Councilmembers Scheel and Holmgren indicated their concern that the
Economic Development Authority commissioners be treated the same as the
Utilities Commissioners.

budget process. It was further indicated that if an increase for the Council is
planned, that the increase will be approved prior to the November, 1996,
election.

REVISED PROPOSAL BY SUB-COMMITTEE
Below is the documentation for the changes we have made to the numbers on the previous page. The first full year of
operation has been delayed until the 1996-96 ~n. The two years shown is the partial season of 1995-96 where the
Arena is estimated to be in operation by November 15, 1995, and the full se~ason estimates ending May 31, 1997.
A.mampfions were that the years following would have a similar cost percentage adjustments as shown in the Feasibility
study.
REVENUES:
ICE RENTAL:
The hourly rates to be charged for ice time is as follows:
1995-96 1996-97 1997-98
NON- NON- NON-
PRIME PRIME PRIME PRIME PRIME PRIME '
Sept-March: Rink 1 $100 $85 $105 $90 $110 $90
Rink 2 $I15 $85 $120 $90 $125 $90
April-August: $100 $85 $85
School Day Hours: $ 50 $ 50 $ 50 .
The Feasibility Study slated a rate orS100 for 1995-96 and $105 for 1996-97. This rate will be nsed for the
present smaller rink but the New Olympic rate'will be $115 and $120 for the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons. As the
study stated Anoka, being our closest ice sales competitor, rate was $115 for 1995-96 for their new sheet. The Elk
River Youth Hockey Board has taken the position in the past several'years that we need to charge an hourly ice
rental rate that will cover our building expenses and the above rates help us achieve this goal. We would propose
that the Associations renting large mounts of ice time rent a sham of both ice sheets in their contracts. The
average cost to them would then be $107.50 per hour for the 1995-96 season. The Feasibility study has Elk River
School District 728 with a contract of $26,400 in 1994-95 and $27;000 in'1995-96. We took that az a separate
line item because ora change in contract agreement beginning in 1994-95. The contract is now on an hourly basis
at the going rate per hour. The estimate is 240 hours multiplied by the rate of both sheets divided by 2. For they
will be shaming both sheets of ice. The hourly rental agreement with the Elk River School District has allowed the
Ice Arena to sell additional hours, at a lower rate, during the daytime for preschool skating lessons and Elk River -
School gym classes or special events.
The 1995-96 seasbn identified ice ~:ental hours is 2982 hours (2564 prime, 259 non-prime). The red flag
here is that i.fwe cannot guarentee that the facility will be open November 15~ 1995 this will affect the contracts
with St. Michael, Monticello and Osseo. The attached letters show there interest in renting ice from our faciflity.
They need to finalize where they will be practicing and holding games very soon probably sometime in March.
This total dollar figure comes to $312,720 of which we deducted the Elk River School District amount of $25,800
because it exist on a separate line. The attached spreadsheet verifies these numbers.
The 1996-97 season we identified the same number of contracts as well az some July/August
rental of hours that we are presently working on. Speci/iclY.a Diane Ness Power Skating, Puck Handling/Shooting
Paul OstbY Goalie 'Clinics. There'is about 400 to 500 miscellaneous hours stated on the attached spreadsheet to"
verify these numbers. The total dollar amount is $364,653 with 3360 hours (2922 prime and 261 non-prime)'
shown. Of this about 400 Hours need to be identified yet. Also there is approximately 40 hours a month during
the prime season available that will most likely be rented. Elk River Youth Hockey will have a much better
e~timate of increased hours because of increased number of teams by the fall of 1995. Them is a good chance that
2-3 teams will be added for the season of 1995-96 and probably I-2 more in the season of 1996-97. The ERYHA
Board has committed in their minutes of 2/27/95 to purchase a minimum 1055 hours for 1995-96 season and
.depending on adding teams an additional 100 hours are possible. The 1996-97 committment was for 1150 hours
with an estimated 1% increase each year..
ADMISSIONS: The admissions amount was dropped to $30,000 from the Feasibility Study of $35,000. The basic
agreemen~ that exist for ticket sales is the Arena would get a base rate to cover expenses for the hours of the game
and then a 50/50 % split on any ticket sales above this base rate. The base rate does change for the different Ice
Men,ax depending on seating capacity.
In 1995-96 the agreement with Elk River High School Boys games which were IV/Varisty games was a
$600 base rate apda 50/50% split thereafter. The total dollars for Non-oonferance ($600+$773; Attendenace: 850
(Adults 490,Students 338)), Conferance ($4800+$4071.50;At: 5363(Adults 2527,Students268 I)) and Sections
($600+$615; At:636,A277,S361) for 1995-96 Season for the boys was $11,460. The Girls JV/Varsity games were -
as follows: $300 Base rate for a single game or $500 Base rate for a IV/Vanity game together and a 50/50 % split
thereafter. The Girls were not in a conferance this past 1995-96 season so we worked only with the Elk River
School District for an agreement. The $500 base rate for two games will most likely increase to $600 for the 1995-
96 season. The revenue from the girls program was $4,100 base rate plus $94.50 split for a total of $4194.50
(Attendance: 1256(Adults 793, .Students 421). This totals $15,655 for 1994-95.
The $30,000 is based on the following: Increase in attendance due to the increase in seating capacity from
700 to over 1000, increase in adult ticket prices by $1 (1995-96:4087/2 split--S2043), the addition of St. Michael
and Monticello IV/Varsity Games being held in'the Arenas ($4800 base for each School), and the conitinued
enthusiasm for the Girls program. This brings the total to $27,300 with no increase in attendence and only a base
rate charge to Monticello and St. Michael. An agreement has not been worked on with these two Schools for there
games which causes a caution flag to go up here unless we can gaurentee that the Arena will be available for there
games very soon (Mid March) they will need to Schedule the games .somewhere else.
DRY lzLOOR The Feasibility Study stated the possibility' for additional usage was there for indoor soccer or other
EVENTS: events but excluded them from the StUdy figures. We did not 'add indoor soccer in to this total for the
details of purchasing the carpet and setting up a league has not been finalized. The Number is for other Dry Floor
Events which is above $5500 for the 1994-95 season as of 1/I/95. The events presently held are: Circus (May),
Arts & Craf~ Show (May), Gun Show (April),'Youth Dance (June) and part of the revenue from the ERYI-LA Golf
Tournament has gone to the building fund in the past.
The committee has concluded after talking with the Soccer Board that indoor soccer ~uld bring in
revenues of $12,000 to $18,000 by charging $45-$65 per hour. Some Arenas acutally make more on indoor soccer
than hockey because of the lower cost of maintenance. Elk River has a growing soccer program. We believe that
the spring of 1996 there will be indoor soccer in the present arena. The money to pay for the expenses will be
obtained from fundraisers, ERYHA Pulltabs, etc. by ERYHA, the Soccer program etc.. An estimate of $6,000 for
the Spring of 1996 and $10,000 for Spnng of 1997 is listed on the bottom of the page. This could be increased by
an agressive program with indoor soccer in the fall as well. Anoka started indoor soccer this past year (1994) and
received revenues of about $12,000 the first year. Some of the expense items would be a carpet to be purchased for
the floor with estimated cost of $30,000, and raising and protecting the lights.
SIGN RENTAL: The committee felt with a strong campaign that sign rental could increase by $10,000 in the
......... new arena. There is a committee 'within ERY'HA that is Working On sign rental packages and has started to
contact local and surrounding community businesses for sign rental contracts. The signs will be high quality on 8'
dasher boards around the fink. There is a estimated 42 and 36 possible dasher board signs in the Olympic fink
and the present rink.
ADDITIONAL The additional revenues we noted on the bottom of the page includes the .soccer program and a
LINE REVENUES: "statement from ERYHA for donations toward'the New Ice Arena Project.
Other types of revenue are fund.raising events that youth hockey does every year. The track record for the
past eight years shows an average profit per year of about $15,000. The ERYHA Pulltabs, which is in operation at
Dicks Reveffront Bar, would be another source of revenue. For this to be used it would need to be approved at a
ERYHA Pulltab Gambling Board meeting and the State Gambling Board and a form would need to be filled out by
the City of Elk River. The Pledge Drive for the new Arena is just beginning and has accumulated over $15,000 on
3 year pledged committments and $3065 in actual cash as of 2/24/95. There is a Arena Dinner Fundraiser
scheduled for March 18, 1995 that will raise some more revenue for the Arena. We estimate $15,000 per
year should be available. We realize that this may not be able to be used as revenues in the cash flow estimate but
we wanted to make a note that these will be available for other expenses or improvements. Other additional
income could be special fund-raisers, and pledges from individuals, groups and industry to possibly raise and
additional $50,000 to $75,000 per year. There are approximately 500 kids involved in hockey and skating within
ERYHA and an additional 70-80 boys & girls involved at the High School level.
Note: The bottom of the sheet shows ERYHA balances of their accounts as of the date stated.
REVISED PROPOSAL BY SUB-COMMITTEE
EXPENSES:
SALARIES: The salary amount we adjusted for 1995-96 season due to the late November 15th s-tart down to $65,1300
from the Feasibility Study and increased it by $2,000 to $76,000 for the 1996-97 season.
The present Arena Manager sala~ is $30,250, part time Ice crew is about $11,500 and concession
workers are about $5700 for the past 1994-95 season for a total ~lary of $47450. For 1995-96 the budget figure of
$65,000 is a good number for the two finks would only be open for 6 months. The 1996-97 increase to $76,000
would increase both Ice crew and conce.~ions workers as well as increase the Arena Manager's Salary. At present
we have one full time Arena Manager and one half time employee during the skating .~.ason and other part time
Ice Crew (5-6) and Concession (5-6) workers. ,
BENEFITS: The benefits we felt were high but if the City ! EDA takes over Operations of the Arenas this would be the
same as the rest of the city employees. At present the Arena Manager receives a $1000 IRA annually and paid
medical Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance coverage $1700. The Arena Manager also receives mileage at a/'ate of
· $.25 cents per mile which came'to about $450 in 1993-94.
REPAIRS Fiscal year ending 1994 & 1995 shows the actual Repairs and Maintenance cost at about $14,500.
& MTCE. We thought the $39,000 was on the high side but left it as is for the full 1996-97 season. We'did reduce it
for the partial season of 1995-96. We feel some of the expenses could be reduced by using city stattwhen needed
for special projects; And to be able to use city owned equipment instead'of renting il.
UTILITIES: The utilities we felt were very high. The total for 1993-94 was $33,500.and the Actual + Budget for
1994-95 season is at about $33,000. The biggest expense for the utility group is the Electric at about $23,500
1993-94 and $24,500 for' 1994-95. Gas at $7000, Telephone at $1800 and sanitation at $1,I00. The new building
will be bigger and a larger ice sheet but with newer technology should be more efficient also. The Elk River
Municipal Utilities Commission has given this project an Economic Development Rate for a 5 year tenn. The
estimate for tripling the electric usage with the special rate would put the cost at about $63,600 for the 1995-96
seasom Doubling these other expense the total would 1~ about $82,000. $o we. feel a conservative estimate of
$90,000 is justified. See Attached.
INSURANCE: There is a new Insurance Company, Cartier Insurance Agency Duluth, MN that strictly insures Ice
Arenas and the estimate we received from them Was $20,000. 1993-94 insurance totaled $13,000 which includes
Property $2560, Liability $3400 + Open Skate $155 + Rollerblading $250+Dance & Circus 5130, Employee
Dishonesty $1 i0, Crime $150, Boiler $1600, Worker Compensation $3200, Accident & Medical $900.
.·ZAMBONI: . ZamboniMaintenance and Fuel for 1993-94 totaled 52404. 1994-95 is est/mated at 53,200..We felt the.
maintenance was a little on the high side seeing that in the 3 previous years we did'not total $7,000..But
recognizing that the Zamboni is aging that an increase to $6,000 in 1996-97 should be adequate.
DRY FLOOR Increased to 52,000.
EVENTS:
EXISTING
ARENA
DEBT:
In November 1995 the debt. on the existing arena will be paid off. The balance a~ of May I, 1995 is
about $15,776. The debt is held by three banks, F;rst National Bank of Elk River, Bank of Elk River,
and State Bank of Rogers. The payment is $2,500 principle plus interest which is based on one
percentage above the T-Bill rate, not less than 8% and not more than 10%. The numbers are shown based
on an 8% rate.
PAYMENT
OF PARTIAL
S~S:
There is a request by the committee members to offset some of the Salaries by payment from
the City (Park fees) or Park and Recreation Board for improvements. This may only be needed for the
first three years or so depending on the bond structure.

MMUA Safety Compliance Program
The Mimiesot~'MUnicipal ........... .
Utilities Association is implementing a safety Compliance
Program offered to city governments and public utilities. Cormnunities or association
members.join' together to make a safety group to share the costs ora Safety Coordinator.
The Safety Coordinator will spend two days a month in each cormnunity to provide the
following services:
- Assist in developing and maintaining all compliance records and written
programs
- Keep safety manuals current
- Plan and organize monthly safety meetings
- Regularly monitor safety training requirements
- Document all safety meetings and training provided
- Prepare or over-see required State and Federal reports
Effective September 1, MMUA will be starting a Safety Compliance Prograrr~ Group
within our area. The Utilities Commission has already approved to participate in
MMUA's Safety Program. The cost for the City and the Utilities to participate in the
program is approximately $16,500, of which approximately $10,000 would be the City's
share.
Backgroun~d
The City's Safety Committee, which first met in February, was formed to develop
written city-wide safety policies and programs designed to comply with OSHA and state
regulations. The Committee has since drafted a written Employee Safety Manual and
