September 16, 2013 Item No. 7
Resolution Approving the Preliminary 2014 (Property) Tax Levy and
Preliminary 2014 Budget
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a resolution approving
the Preliminary 2014 Tax Levy and Preliminary 2014 Budget_
Approval of the motion will establish the Preliminary 2014 Tax Levy and Budget
Overview
Passage of this motion will result in the approval of the 2014 preliminary tax levy of $23,984,269
and preliminary 2014 budget as discussed at the September 9 Council work session.
The proposed 2014 City tax levy will result in an estimated $31 increase on the median value
home ($225,000).

• The City Council has the ability to adopt a final tax levy in December that is equal to or
less than the preliminary tax levy approved on September 16, 2013. The City Council
may not, however, adopt a final tax levy that is greater than the preliminary tax levy.

City of Lakeville
Positioned to Thrive
September 16, 2013
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council and the Citizens of Lakeville:
It is our pleasure to present the Preliminary 2014 Budget. The City budget is a policy
document which reflects the programs and services deemed important and necessary for the
health, safety and welfare of the community by the City Council. The document provides a
financial framework for all of the programs and services the City provides.
The budget represents the financial plan of the City and serves as the financial policy
document, operations guide and financial communications device. The document is an
important tool for sound fiscal management.
As the City emerges from the Great Recession and post- recession era, there are a number of
pressures and issues confronting the City that emerged as themes which affect the
community. The themes identified and addressed within the preliminary budget including
legislative changes, resumption of growth, aging infrastructure, inflationary pressures,
emerging trends, innovation and efficiencies, entrepreneurial efforts and preparing for the
future.

Themes
The budget identifies and focuses on a number of initiatives for the near and intermediate
term in response to the themes.
Legislative Changes
Recent Legislative changes regarding (limited) sales tax exemption, police pension financing and
property tax levy limits as well as Federal Environmental Protection Agency storm water
regulations and sequestering are having or will have financial implications for our City.
Sales Tax Reduction. Cities will be exempt from paying sales tax for most goods and services
starting in 2014; however this exemption does not apply to the purchase of motor vehicles or
Liquor Store operations. As a result, the 2014 budget reflects a reduction in operating costs
($140,866), non -motor vehicle equipment ($63,086) and utility operations ($94,394) such as
water, sanitary sewer and street lights due to the exemption. Minnesota Department of
Revenue has not provided guidance as to whether the Arts Center or Heritage Center will be
exempt.
Levy Limits. The 2013 legislature enacted a one -year (2014) levy limit of 3 percent for non -
debt purposes; property tax levies for debt are exempt from levy limits.
Police PERA (pension) contributions. In an effort to stabilize the Police and Fire Public
Employee Retirement (PERA) Plan, the legislature governor signed into law requiring an
increase in contributions from both employees and employers over the next two years. The
employer contribution rate of 14.4 percent of salary will increase to 15.3 percent of salary paid
on or after January 1, 2014 and to 16.2 percent on January 1, 2015 (General Fund $41,722 -
2014, $40,670 - 2015). There were no changes made in contribution rates for the General
Employees Plan or Defined Contribution Plan.
Federal sequestering. The Federal government's across - the -board spending cuts also
known as sequestration resulted in reduction of subsidy payments on the 2009 "Build
America Bonds" issued by the City. The City property tax levy increase as a result of
sequestering is $14,654 and $7,015 in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
MS4 Permit Requirements. Polluted storm water runoff is most commonly transported
through Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s); storm water is often discharged
untreated into local water bodies. To prevent harmful pollutants from being washed or
dumped into an MS4, operators must obtain a NPDES permit and develop a storm water
management program. The City has completed phase 2 of the NPDES permit application
process. The cost implications of future requirements are unknown at this time.
2
Resumption of Growth
New residential housing construction is at pre- recession levels due in large part to improving
economic conditions. The resumption of growth will result in increased demands for infrastructure
enhancements as well as service delivery such as inspections, code enforcement, police, fire, streets
and parks.
Economic improvements can be found in a number of key indicators including but not
limited to the following:

Unemployment Rate - Lakeville (1)

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (2)
Inflation (CPI) (2)

The improvements in economic conditions, as well as other factors, have resulted in
increasing housing values and new residential construction.

As of June 30, most of the indicators continue to move in a positive direction. Although
Interest rates on 30 year mortgages, for example, have increased since January 1, they still
remain below 2010 -11 levels.
Residential growth has been subdued in recent years due to the economic slowdown;
however, single family building permit activity is back to the pre- recession levels of 2006.

There are certain City services and infrastructure requirements which are directly related to
the number of residents and changes in population. In other words, as the City grows the
demand for resources increases accordingly. Based on the projected new construction of
single family dwellings, the population will increase by 950 -1,100 people per year for each of
the next three years.
Growth by its nature requires investment in infrastructure such as roads, parks, water and
sanitary sewer systems. Current projects include Dodd Boulevard improvements from 183rd
Street to Hayes Avenue, Kenrick Avenue round -about at 205th Street, Kenrick Avenue Trail
construction from the Park and Ride to 205th Street. Initiatives to adequately address the near
term infrastructure needs include:
o Round -about at County Roads 50 and 60. Project includes construction of a round-
about as well as improvements to County Roads 50 and 60 in 2014. (City share of cost
- Municipal State Aid Fund - $2,189,000). Improvements to County roads will have no
impact on City operating costs.
o County Road 50 expansion from County Road 60 (185th Street) to County Road 9
(Dodd Boulevard). Dakota County will include the project in their Capital
Improvement Plan; the City share of cost ($7.0 million) will be financed with Municipal
State Aid funds. The project is tentatively anticipated for 2017. Improvements to
County roads will have no impact on City operating costs.
o County Road 9 (Dodd Boulevard) from County Road 60 (185th Street) to 194th
Street. New residential development community -wide as well as properties adjacent
N
to Dodd Boulevard will elevate the need to address road capacity and safety. As such,
Dodd Boulevard is proposed to be improved to a four lane road (in 2018) financed
with County Advance Funding (until 2022) and Municipal State Aid Funds.
Improvements to County roads will have no impact on City operating costs.
o Water system expansion. Wells, water storage facilities and trunk watermains will
need to be constructed in the next 5 years to meet the growth demands.
From an operational perspective, certain services such as police, fire, streets, and parks
require more resources as our community grows. Initiatives to address the changes in service
demands are as follows.
Police Officers - Investigators. The increase in population will have a corresponding impact
on police case load activity. Lakeville has one Police Officer per 1,077 residents; based on
projected population increases, therefore, it is recommended to add one additional officer (or
investigator) and equipment for that officer each year for the next two years. The need for
additional staff is evidenced based on police activity. The number of cases assigned to the
Police Investigations unit has increased by 14.6% in the past year with the largest increases
occurring in burglaries and fraud. The Patrol Division has focused on proactive police
measures to reduce crime activity and future patrol officer activity by creating special
assignment units including street crime, traffic and Community Liaison /Crime Prevention.
Code enforcement. The duties related to code enforcement are currently being addressed
by the Inspections, Public Works, Planning and Police personnel; however, increased growth
has resulted in the work load exceeding the capacity of current staff resources. A part -time
Code Enforcement Officer position is proposed in the 2014 budget and will be responsible for
issues such as noise complaints, property maintenance, signs, and junk vehicle storage, grass
and weeds violations.
Engineering. The Capital Improvement Plan contemplates an aggressive street
reconstruction program ($40 million) during the next five years. An Engineering Technician is
proposed to support department services such as assisting with preparation of project plans,
review building permit grading and drainage issues as well as reduce the reliance on
construction contract inspections. Project fees are sufficient to fund this position.
Restructuring and replacement of aging departmental work stations ($16,152) is also
proposed to improve project coordination and communications.
Fleet Management. The Street Department fleet management function is responsible for
the organization wide maintenance of more than 400 vehicles and equipment. The City's
rolling stock continues to grow as demands require. A Fleet Supervisor position is proposed
in 2014 that will be responsible for inventory control systems, fleet division supervision and
work flow management. This will allow the current Fleet Lead position to return to
maintenance and coordination of technician duties.
5
Addressing Aging Infrastructure
Our City has more than $300 million of investment in infrastructure such as roads, water mains,
parks, trails, facilities, equipment and other assets. The assets have maintenance, and in certain
situations, replacement requirements. The 2014 budget addresses the short -term plan while the
Capital Improvement Plan addresses the anticipated intermediate and long term needs.
Facilities. The City has nine primary facilities including the Central Maintenance Facility,
Public Works Storage Facility, Fire Stations, Police Station, Arts Center, Heritage Center and
City Hall with an aggregate 292 thousand square feet of floor space. Approximately $1.46
million of maintenance will be required in the next five years to preserve and protect the City
investment in facilities. The projects are proposed to be financed with one time revenues
including proceeds from the sale of property to Life Time Fitness and General Fund
unencumbered balances.
ADA improvements. Wold Architects recently provided a report of potential ADA
improvements for City facilities. Certain improvements such as City Hall door accessibility will
be constructed in the near term with financing provided from CDBG funds. Other ADA
improvements will be implemented when the facility is remodeled or expanded.
Street Reconstruction. The proposed Capital Improvement Plan dated July 2013 accelerates
the Street Reconstruction Plan ($8.0 million annually) for the next five years. The previous
Capital Improvement Plan — dated May 2013 — only provided an average of $6.3 million per
year for Street Reconstruction projects. If approved, there would be an estimated 5 — 6 miles
of streets (2.3% of all streets) with an OCI rating of 35 or less by 2018. Accelerating the
reconstruction schedule will take 4 — 6 years to make a substantial impact on the streets
which are considered failing after which time the reconstruction program will return to
normal. The City share of cost will be financed with debt repaid based on a blended tax levy
amortization schedule exceeding 10 years consistent with long term objectives.
Water main replacement. Certain watermains within the City have been subject to
numerous breaks in recent years. Water main segments which have a propensity for
breakage will be replaced in conjunction with the street reconstruction projects. The water
main replacements over the next five years (estimated $7.6 million) will be financed from the
Water Operating Fund. Previous budgets and capital improvement plans did not
contemplate water main replacement at the level currently being recommended. Springsted
has therefore been retained for the purpose of preparing a rate study and financing plan for
the water utility operating fund.
Parks. The City parks system is extensive and aging. In previous years, the Council has
discussed issues such as replacement of playgrounds; however, there is no long -term
structured program or financing plan for parks other than routine maintenance. The last tax
levy for the 1994 Park Bond Referendum is in 2014. The property tax levy for 2015 and future
years is proposed to include an annual levy equal to the expired bond levy which would be
appropriated for future park facility long -term major maintenance and replacement.
31
The City also has 94 miles of trails which will require $1.2 million of maintenance and
replacement over the next five years; financing to be provided by current balances and a
$468,100 tax levy over the next five years.
Equipment. The City has a long -term plan for equipment replacement; the cost of which
may fluctuate significantly from year to year (high of $3.1 million in 2014 to low of $1.8 million
in 2015) depending on the timing of the equipment replacement. Total estimated
equipment acquisitions — not including Liquor or Utility Fund equipment - is approximately
$12.2 million over the five year period. The acquisitions are proposed to be financed from
sale of assets, Liquor Fund contribution and General Fund unencumbered balances. There is
no tax levy for equipment acquisitions in 2014; the 2015 property tax levy is approximately
$375,000 with annual increases in subsequent years.
Inflationary Pressures
As the economy improves, there will be upward pressure on commodities, services and personnel
costs. Although inflation is still relatively benign compared to the decade preceding the recession,
the budget anticipates modest price increases in the near term.
Wages. As the unemployment rate drops (As of June 30, Minnesota — 5.2 %) the demand for
workers and higher wages will increase. The current low inflation environment is anticipated
to keep wage increases to levels less than that of pre- recession years. The City needs to
monitor wage rates to assure that wages are competitive with the market.
Health Care. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, heath care cost trends and
utilization rates are anticipated to be factors in 2014 for future health care premiums. The
current health insurance is capped with a maximum 12% increase for the coming year.
Firefighter compensation. The volunteer firefighters currently receive $10 per call, $20 per
day to attend training and $40 per day to attend conferences. The pay- for -call and pay -for-
training is proposed to increase for volunteer firefighters.
Sanitary Sewer charges. The treatment and disposal of sanitary sewer effluent is primarily
the responsibility of the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES). Sewage
disposal costs are estimated to increase 3.5 percent per year. The 2014 MCES costs will be
available in September.
Emerging Trends
There are trends emerging within our community which are influenced at least in part by external
factors such as technology related crimes, non - resident visitors to Lakeville parks and the emerald
ash borer insects. Currently there is a defined need for our community to react to or be prepared
to react to the issues; however, there is little or no financial assistance available from State or
federal agencies to react to the trends.
7
Digital forensics. Digital forensics pertains to obtaining legal evidence found in computers
and digital storage media, including cell phones. In criminal and other legal infraction cases,
electronic devices provide the evidentiary connection in reconstruction of acts, actions, and
events. Since the City's initial investment in resources to perform digital forensics a couple of
years ago, the case loads has grown exponentially. The proposed 2014 budget for digital
forensics ($11,032) represents the third year of acquiring enhanced software, hardware and
training in sophisticated technologies to improve investigative capacities.
Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Infestation. It is not a question of "if' it will happen but rather
"when" it will happen. The emerald ash borer beetle which ravages the ash tree population
creating expensive cleanup costs for property owners and municipalities is currently in South
Eastern Minnesota and the metro area. The proposed budget creates a Forester position who
will focus on implementation and administration of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, shade
tree disease and infestation control programs, landscaping and reforestation of public lands
and parks, maintenance of trees and shrubs and technical assistance to property owners. An
initial $45,000 reserve is proposed to be established in the General Fund to finance future
boulevard tree removal. Property owners will be responsible for disposal of trees on their
own respective parcels. Substantial municipal resources will be required when EAB reaches
Lakeville.
Innovation and Efficiencies
Lakeville has a long standing history of being fiscally conservative and prudent. In spite of the fact
that the City of Lakeville receives no state aid for property tax relief, per capita current
expenditures for operations are still amongst the lowest in the twin cities according to the
Minnesota State Auditor's Office. The proposed budget includes several initiatives which will
continue the focus on a commitment to cost effectiveness and efficiencies. Effective application of
technology is a major factor in optimizing organizational efficiencies.
Police and Fire mobiles and records management systems. The Lakeville Police and Fire
staff have been active participants in the LOGIS software selection process to replace the
existing mobile computer and records management systems which have exceed their useful
life. The new system will greatly enhance information processing, communication and
reporting systems as well as providing technology tools for more efficient public safety
service delivery. The estimated acquisition cost is approximately $176,964; operating costs
are anticipated to increase approximately $22,000 in 2015.
Police voice recognition recorders. Police Officers will often dictate reports which are then
transcribed by the police records staff. The Department is currently researching the various
issues related to voice recognition records as a potential to reduce transcription
requirements. If the technology is efficient and cost effective, the system will be acquired in
2015 for approximately $65,134.
Water meter modernization. All residential water meters are read by contracted meter
readers utilizing a hand held device. Non - residential accounts are read by City staff using a
vehicle equipped with radio read technology. The radio read equipment enables the data to
be captured more expeditiously and accurately. The radio read process is cost effective
because the meter reading process is not subject to inclement weather conditions and
therefore results meter reading efficiencies. The radio read technology also results in reduced
contract meter reading. The proposed budget provides financing to install radio read
equipment for residential customers in the coming years. The cost of a meter for new
residential construction will increase to cover the cost of the radio transmitter.
Park mowers. The City has historically leased two mowers for seasonal park maintenance.
After evaluating leasing costs with that of acquisition, maintenance and resale value, the
proposed budget is premised on acquiring the mowers rather than leasing.
Entrepreneurial efforts
Continued marketing initiatives are proposed to promote economic development. Improving and
enhancing communications of community events and activities will be enhanced with the
proposed City Hall exterior signage. Heritage Center enhancements as well as steps toward a
future new liquor store located in southeastern Lakeville are anticipated to improve revenues and
sales opportunities.
Liquor Store — New location. The sales at each of Lakeville's liquor stores exceed that of the
average private sector store. With Lakeville's growing population and a strategic business
objective of trying to secure customer sales from areas south and west of Lakeville, a Liquor
Business Plan will be developed in the coming months which will establish a framework for
targeting increased market share with the construction of a new store.
Marketing Lakeville. Several years ago, the Economic Development Commission
recommended, and the City Council concurred, to invest in community marketing initiatives
to attract and retain businesses. The marketing efforts ($20,000 annually) continue for the
coming years — financing provided by cable TV franchise fees.
Heritage Center. The first anniversary of the Heritage Center will be this fall. The inaugural
year of operation has seen dramatic increases in membership and attendance at the Historical
Society, Senior activities and Yellow Ribbon events. In order to continue the momentum of
increased facility rentals to outside groups and facility use, the proposed budget includes
appropriations (General Fund approximately $24,363) for audio - visual equipment, ice
machine, commercial coffee maker, dish washer upgrade, exterior lighting, chairs and tables.
Preparing for the Future
As a Community that embraces a high quality of life and a pro- business attitude, Lakeville is
"Positioned to Thrive ". It is an objective that embraces a vision for the future and a commitment
to preparing for it.
D
Envision Lakeville. The task force, organizational leadership and community have provided
a significant amount of effort into a process that will position our community for the future.
The process continues through the summer and early fall 2013 and will identify major
initiatives for the coming years. The proposed budget includes appropriations for a City
Council strategic planning effort in the coming year. The strategic planning process is
intended to provide very specific actions and initiatives needed to achieve the long -range
plan. Financing for a bi- annual survey as well as strategic initiatives derived from the strategic
planning process are proposed to be financed from the Communications Fund ($35,000 -
2014).
Hydrological modeling. The City is participating with Vermillion Watershed District in the
hydrological modeling of the North Creek Drainage Area. It is anticipated that the results will
establish the framework for future long -term storm water modeling and flood mitigation
initiatives.
Budget Process
In the coming months, the City Council will continue to review the preliminary 2014 budget
and tax levy prior to final approval in December.

Budget Overview
Municipalities organize their financial activities into separate "funds" in order to properly
manage and account for the services provided. Each fund can be thought of as a separate
business organized for a specific purpose. Each of the funds has a different purpose, different
constraints on its resources and a different method of accounting for its activities. The City
has attempted to allocate resources among its different funds in order to achieve the
Council's goals in the most cost - effective manner possible.
General Fund
The General Fund of a government unit serves as the primary reporting vehicle for current
government operations. The General Fund, by definition, accounts for all current financial
resources not required by law or administrative action to be accounted for in another fund.
2012 General Fund Review
General Fund revenues in 2012 exceeded budget estimates primarily due to reduced tax
delinquencies, increased building permits and FEMA grant awards. Revenues related to
charges for services such as those for police security, and engineering also significantly
exceeded budget estimates.
Furthermore, expenditures were less than budget estimates primarily the result of
insignificant savings in most departments. The largest of these savings came in the areas of
reduced training and hiring costs, the vacant Parks Director position, and project materials
being less than anticipated. As a result, the beginning 2013 fund balance is $1,036,534 more
than anticipated.
2013 General Fund Budget Review
Operations for 2013 are projected to result in a $466,268 increase in fund balance for reasons
similar to 2012 - increased building permit revenues due to increased housing development,
police security charges, and engineering fees. Expenditures are exceeding budget primarily
as a result of severe winter weather conditions.

The Fund Balance Policy states "The City will endeavor to maintain on unrestricted (committed,
assigned and unassigned) fund balance in the General Fund of on amount not less than 40% and
not greater than 50% of the next year's budgeted expenditures of the General Fund."
During the past 5 years, the objective was to budget for a 45°x6 fund balance to mitigate the
risks and uncertainties of the recession. With the improvements in economic conditions, the
proposed budget is therefore based on a fund balance to the 40% level. As such, $943,805 of
the 2013 balance is available for other purposes.
The proposed budget for the coming year is premised on a recommendation that the
favorable results of the 2012 and 2013 operations ($1,036,534 and $466,268 respectfully) as
well as the unassigned 2013 estimated ending fund balance in excess of 40% ($943,805) be
appropriated as follows:
(a) $1,811,607 to the Equipment Fund for equipment acquisitions resulting in a
reduction in the 2014 - 2018 tax levies.
(b) $590,000 to the Building Fund to finance the five year major maintenance projects.
(c) $45,000 "Committed" General Fund balance for offset, at least in part, the City share
of cost in the first year of Emerald Ash Borer invasion.

The proposed General Fund budget is premised on a return to residential and business
growth for the coming year. Building permits are anticipated to be issued for approximately
345 single family dwellings for 2014.
14
General Fund expenditures are anticipated to increase by $932,731. The significant factors
affecting the budget include:
➢ General government. Elections, insurance rates, development planning and
personnel costs are the primary factors affecting the increase in 2014 proposed
budget. Insurance costs are based on an experience modifier rate which is expected
to increase from its current extremely low rate. Personnel costs will increase due to
the new Administrative Services Manager's transition costs as well as the proposed
addition of a part -time Code Enforcement Officer and cost of living increase.
➢ Public safety. Personnel costs are the primary factors for increases in the 2014
proposed budget. As the city grows so does the need for public safety services. The
police department is proposing the addition of a police investigator. Changes to the
collective bargaining agreements and mandated changes to PERA rates for police and
fire also factor into the proposed increases. The fire department is requesting
increases for Pay for Call and Pay for Training for volunteer firefighters.
➢ Public works. Population growth creates a need for traffic analysis. Thus, an increase
in professional services for traffic studies is proposed in the budget. Personnel costs
are another primary factor increasing the proposed public works budget due to
transition costs for the Assistant City Engineer and Design Engineer. Also proposed in
2014 are the additions of an Engineering Technician and Street Department Fleet
Supervisor.
➢ Parks and recreation. The budget for parks and recreation is anticipated to increase
in 2014 primarily due to changes in staffing and entrepreneurial efforts. The 2014
budget also provides funding for park major maintenance projects. The proposed
acquisition of additional amenities for the Heritage Center in 2014 is anticipated to
enhance the number of rentals.
As a service based organization, the majority of the City's budget, especially in the General
Fund, is related to personnel costs and related services.

Since mid -2008, the City has adjusted its budget as a result of economic conditions. Services
and costs are primarily derived from personnel services; therefore, there has been a
corresponding reduction in the City staffing levels in the last several years. As the City
returns to growth so does the need for additional services.
The following table illustrates the changes in General and Special Revenue Fund employees
since 2007.

Special Revenue Funds
The City has two special revenue funds whereby the revenues are either legally restricted or
committed by the City Council for specific purposes. The cable TV franchise fees are
appropriated to finance the Communications Fund functions including cable TV channel 16
16
and channel 12 public access as well as the weekly Messages publications, the City web -site,
other forms of public communications, and long -term replacement of equipment. The
administrative fees received from the 2008 issuance of conduit debt are committed to the
Economic Development Fund for community economic development. Cable TV franchise

Debt
As of December 31, 2013, the City of Lakeville will have approximately $108.445 million of
debt outstanding. The City issued $22.450 million of (cross -over) refunding debt in July 2012
to refinance the G.O. Street Reconstruction Bonds Series 2003A and G.O. Capital Improvement
Bonds series 2004A. The refinancing has resulted in a net present value savings of $2.235
million over the 17 year life of the debt. The refunding bonds, as well as the series 2003A and
2004A bonds, will remain as City obligations until the two refunded bonds are called and fully
retired on or before February 1, 2015.

Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are self - supporting from retail sales and user fees. Operations are managed
in much the same way as private enterprises.
Liquor Fund
The City of Lakeville is well positioned for the future with the most profitable municipal liquor
operation in the State of Minnesota. The strategic location of stores and excellent
management will enable the City to continue to capitalize on its customer base. Net income
from operations continues to be appropriated to projects and purposes which result in lower
property taxes for Lakeville businesses and residents. Liquor Fund sales are anticipated to
continue to increase at a modest pace in spite of intense competition.
21
A summary of Liquor operations is as follows:
Liquor Fund

Property Taxes
Preliminary_ 2014 Tax Levy
The preliminary 2014 property tax levy is proposed to be $23.9 million which is a $905,084
increase over the 2013 property tax levy. The increase is primarily the result of debt for street
reconstruction projects and increased costs due to growth in the City. The majority of the
increased tax levy will be financed from the tax base increase in new residential home
construction.
