Home My WebLink AboutItem 07.eDate December 16, 2013 Item No. ORDINANCE ADOPTING FEES AND SUMMARY PUBLICATION OF ORDINANCE Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the Ordinance Adopting Fees and summary publication of Ordinance. Approval of the Ordinance will result in the approval of charges for Water Connection Charges, Park Dedication Fees and the cost recovery program for Code Enforcement. Overview At its November 19 meeting, the City Council reviewed the Water Connection Fee Analysis and concurred with the recommendation to increase fees in order to finance infrastructure improvements as identified in Comprehensive Water Plan Update and the Water Treatment Facility Expansion Study. At its November 25 meeting, the City Council reviewed the Cost Recovery Process and concurred with the recommendation to add a cost recovery fee for inspection services related to property maintenance and code enforcement. The Council also received a recommendation to lower the park dedication fees for residential properties. State law requires the establishment of fees to process land use applications must be established by ordinance after a public hearing is conducted. Primary Issues to Consider • Which fees are proposed to be adjusted and by how much? Supporting Information ➢ Memorandum dated November 1, 2013 from Parks and Recreation Director regarding 2014 Park Dedication Fees ➢ Water Connection Fee Analysis dated November 2013 ➢ M um dated November 22, 2013 from Administrative Services Manager regarding Code n every Options Finance Director Primary Issues to Consider ❖ Which fees are proposed to be adjusted and by how much? Proposed Fee Decreases Park Dedication Fees The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee recommended reduction in the Residential Park Dedication Fees as a result of decreases in the Dakota County Assessors estimated market value for vacant residential properties. There are no proposed changes in fees for commercial and industrial properties. Based upon the analysis and methodology outlined in The Planning Company report dated June 2012, park dedication fees in lieu of land should be reduced to reflect the changes in market conditions between 2012 and 2014. The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee recommended Council approval of the reduction. For a more comprehensive discussion of the fee change, refer to the Memorandum from Parks and Recreation Director Brett Altergott dated November 1, 2013. The proposed fees are as follows: Single Family Lot (per lot) Townhouse (per dwelling unit) Multiple Family (per dwelling unit) Proposed Fee Decrease $ 3,462 $ (70) $ 2,355 $ (48) $ 1,788 $ (36) Proposed Fee Increases Connection Charges - Water Connection Fees Water connection charges are proposed to increase to $4,000 (currently $3,900) for residential and $2,000 (currently $1,950) for non - residential effective April 1, 2014 based on the Comprehensive Water Plan Update and the Lakeville Water Treatment Plant Facility Expansion Study. Refer to the Water Connection Fee Analysis dated November 2013 for a detailed discussion. State law requires a public hearing prior to adoption of the fee. Proposed "NEW" Fee Planning - Cost Recovery Fee The City Council, at its November 25 work session, discussed various options of recovering at least a portion of the costs related to code enforcement. Staff recommended and Council concurred, to implement a $70 per visit "Cost Recovery Fee' for those property owners or owners who do not comply with the initial notification of a code violation. No change in fees - clarification only Extension - Interim Use Permit and Variance Occasionally, a planning applicant will request an extension on their Interim Use Permit or Variance. There are no fees recommended with the extension process, however, staff recommends including in the fee schedule to provide clarification. Lakeville Memorandum To: Mayor and City Council Steve Mielke, City Administrator From: Brett Altergott, Parks & Recreation Director Date: November 1, 2013 Subject: 2014 Park Dedication Fees City of Lakeville Parks & Recreation The City Council, at its June 4, 2012 meeting, approved an amendment to the City Ordinance related to Park Dedication Fees. The ordinance changed (a) the land dedication percentages for residential land uses and (b) the cash contribution requirements for residential properties. The basis of changes was delineated in a Park Dedication analysis dated May 15, 2012 prepared by Dan Licht, President, and The Planning Company. The Park Dedication Fees cash contributions for residential properties recommended in the 2012 report and subsequently approved by the City Council were based on changes in the estimated market values as determined by the Dakota County Assessor's Office. According to the Dakota County Assessors Fair Market Value for Taxes Payable 2014, there is a 2% reduction in residential values when compared to 2012. A list of the parcels and changes in valuation are attached. Based upon the analysis and methodology outlined in The Planning Company report, park dedication fees in lieu of land should be reduced to reflect the changes in market conditions between 2012 and 2014. The following exhibit illustrates the current fee and proposed fee for a single family lot, townhome and multi - family complex: Current fees Proposed Fee Single Family Lot $3,532/lot $3,462/lot Townhouse $2,403 /du $2,355/du Multiple Family $1,824/du $1,788/du Park Dedication Fee Review Process The Park Dedication Fees for residential properties will be reviewed in the fall of each year. The fees will to be based on the changes in estimated market values as established by the Dakota County Assessor. It is our expectation that Park Dedication fees will increase in 2015 consistent with the improving market conditions. Commercial and Industrial property values vary based on number of factors including but not limited to prevailing economic conditions, location, size and zoning. As such staff recommends park dedications fees for commercial and industrial properties be established on an appraisal consistent with that used to establish the current fees. Staff recommends undertaking an appraisal at such time as there appears to be changes in market conditions and /or improvement in commercial - industrial activity. Recommendation City Council approval of a 2% reduction in park dedication fees in lieu of land effective January 1, 2014 as follows: Single Family $ 3,462/lot Townhouse $ 2,355/du Multiple Family $1,788/du Residential Assessors Est.

Introduction The City finances its water infrastructure system such as wells, towers, water treatment facility and water mains from water connection charges collected at the time building permits are issued. Water connection revenues and infrastructure construction costs are accounted for in the Water Trunk Fund. Water system operation costs are financed with water use fees collected with quarterly utility bills. The water system infrastructure construction financing with water connection charges enables Lakeville to have one of the lowest water user rates in the twin cities metro area. In August 2013, the consulting engineering firms of Short Elliott Hendrickson prepared a Comprehensive Water Plan Update and Black and Veatch prepared the Lakeville Water Treatment Plant Facility Expansion Study. The purpose of the studies was to provide a long term plan to address the water system improvement needs for a growing population. The studies also serve as a basis for a financial plan. Since the initial presentation of the studies, residential growth has accelerated. City staff has therefore recommended advancing the construction schedules of certain projects in coordination with pending residential development and road improvement projects. The Water Connection Fee Analysis contained herein, therefore, is based on the revised water improvement construction plan; the revisions are as shown in Exhibit A— Water Infrastructure System Changes. II. Assumption Infrastructure Improvement Costs. The Comprehensive Water Plan Update and the Lakeville Water Treatment Facility Expansion Study were based on 2013 water construction costs. Construction improvement costs are, however, subject to inflationary pressures. Leading economists are predicting inflation in the range of 2.3% - 2.5% for Consumer Price Index and the Producer Price Index respectively for the coming year. For the purpose of this analysis an inflation rate of 2.5% was assumed. The projected project costs adjusted for inflation are shown in Exhibit B — Water System Capital Improvements. Community Growth. Lakeville has been one of the leading growth communities for more than two decades. The recession and post - recession era of the last six years resulted in a dramatic reduction in new construction and community growth. However, economic conditions are improving and single family construction activity is at pre- recession levels. Commercial and industrial development remains relatively static. There are a number of current economic conditions which appear to indicate a continuation of steady residential growth for the foreseeable future. The economic indicators include but not limited to relatively low mortgage interest rates, declining foreclosures, increased number of existing home sales and increasing home values. The Water Connection Fee Analysis is therefore premised on an assumed construction of 365 -400 single family dwelling units per year during the next ten years and each year thereafter until 2040. RESIDENTIAL PERMITS Soo 400 300 200 ` -- - a 100 � . 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 YEAR A --w-Total Residential Units -- d—Single Family Commercial and industrial remains relatively static for the purposes of this analysis. III. Capital Improvement Plan The Comprehensive Water Plan Update and the Lakeville Water Treatment Facility Expansion Study were premised on an assumed 2% increase in growth per year. As such, more than 92% of water improvement projects will be completed in the next 10 years with the remaining 8% completed within seven years thereafter. The capital improvement plans were based on prevailing construction costs. Inflationary factors were not taken into account. In order to develop a long -term financial plan and water connection charge rate structure, inflationary factors (2.5 %) were taken into consideration. IV. Debt Financing Existing debt. The City currently has $2.865 million of General Obligation Water Revenue Refunding bonds outstanding. The final payment is February 1, 2016. Proposed debt financing. The Comprehensive Water Plan Update and Lakeville Water Treatment Facility Expansion Study are premised on the assumption that the infrastructure will be completed approximately 10 -20 years before the city is fully developed. Issuance of debt is recommended in order to provide for orderly development and economic growth. The debt structure is assumed to be amortized over a 20 year period in equal annual payments. Average Annual The debt will be structured in such a manner as to minimize financial risk to existing residents. Call features will be utilized to take advantage of potential interest rate reductions and/or reduce exposure to financial risks such as recessions. V. Water Connection Fee Structure — Current and Proposed The financial structure for water infrastructure improvements is premised on the long standing policy that residents and business pay their respective share of infrastructure construction at the time building permits are issued. System maintenance is financed with utility fees. The water connection fee structure is delineated in City Ordinance 7 -5 -3 -1 as shown in Exhibit C — Ordinance 7- 5 -3 -1. Water connection charges are currently $3,900 per unit for residential and $1,950 per unit for commercial, industrial and institutional. The rates have not changed since 2008. The Analysis therefore reflects an annual increase in the water connection fee of 2.5% commensurate with inflation. Debt Year Debt Year Non - residential Financing Payments 2014 $ 9,000,000 $ 647,659 2020 $ 25,000,000 $ 2,048,807 2023 $ 1,200,000 $ 104,621 2026 $ 1,200,000 $ 104,621 The debt will be structured in such a manner as to minimize financial risk to existing residents. Call features will be utilized to take advantage of potential interest rate reductions and/or reduce exposure to financial risks such as recessions. V. Water Connection Fee Structure — Current and Proposed The financial structure for water infrastructure improvements is premised on the long standing policy that residents and business pay their respective share of infrastructure construction at the time building permits are issued. System maintenance is financed with utility fees. The water connection fee structure is delineated in City Ordinance 7 -5 -3 -1 as shown in Exhibit C — Ordinance 7- 5 -3 -1. Water connection charges are currently $3,900 per unit for residential and $1,950 per unit for commercial, industrial and institutional. The rates have not changed since 2008. The Analysis therefore reflects an annual increase in the water connection fee of 2.5% commensurate with inflation. Water connection fee structure should be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in inflation on construction costs and /or changes in the capital improvement plan. VI. Estimated Revenues Water connection charges are estimated to generate approximately $20.5 million of revenues in the next ten years. Although the overwhelming majority of the water system infrastructure improvements are financed with connection charges, Water Connection Fee Year Residential Non - residential 2014 $ 4,000 $ 2,000 2015 $ 4,100 $ 2,050 2016 $ 4,200 $ 2,100 2017 $ 4,310 $ 2,155 2018 $ 4,420 $ 2,210 2019 $ 4,530 $ 2,265 2020 $ 4,640 $ 2,320 2021 $ 4,760 $ 2,380 2022 $ 4,880 $ 2,440 2023 $ 5,000 $ 2,500 Water connection fee structure should be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in inflation on construction costs and /or changes in the capital improvement plan. VI. Estimated Revenues Water connection charges are estimated to generate approximately $20.5 million of revenues in the next ten years. Although the overwhelming majority of the water system infrastructure improvements are financed with connection charges, approximately 13% of revenue sources are derived from antenna leases on water towers and other revenues as shown below.

Financial Projections The long term financial projections were developed based on the Comprehensive Water Plan Update and the Lakeville Water Treatment Facility Expansion Study adjusted for inflation. The estimated revenues discussed previously will be pledged to financing infrastructure construction and debt payments. Statement of Estimated Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance For the ten period of January 1, 2014 - December 31, 2023 Total Revenues Water connection fees $ 19,037,100 Other 3,359,511 Tota 1 22,396,611 Other financing sources - debt 35,200,000 Total revenues and other sources 57,596,611 Expenditures Infrastructure 39,718,890 Debt payments 15,153,343 Total expenditures 54,872,233 Net changes 2,724,378 Fund balance, January 1, 2014 2,134,939 Fund balance, December 31, 2023 $ 4,859,317 A schedule of annual financial projections is provided in the attached Exhibit D. VIII. Cash Reserves The revenues derived from water connection fees are pledged to the repayment of the debt. If water connection revenues are not sufficient to meet debt payments, the City pledges water use revenues to the payment of the debt. Although water use fees are a viable debt payment alternative, the revenue plan and long financial projections should be structured in such a manner as to minimize the risk of such occurrences. If growth assumptions are accurate, the Water Trunk Fund will maintain a fund balance that is equal to approximately 1.2 to 2.3 times the estimated annual connection charge revenues. However, if building permits drop to recession era levels, the fund will have sufficient cash to accommodate debt payments for approximately 2 to 5 years. If building permit activity dropped to recession era levels for a sustained period of time, the City Council may need to consider alternative revenue options such as increased water use fees, appropriating water operating fund balance, deferring construction projects and /or restructuring debt. IX. Recommendation City Council approval of water connection rates as shown below: Effective April 1, 2014 $4,000 Effective January 1, 2015 $4,100 Furthermore, the water connection fees should be reviewed every two years. The review process should take into consideration estimated project cost adjustments as a result of construction indexes and/or changes to the Comprehensive Water Plans. Community growth may also impact the City's financial position and hence water connection rate structure.

Before connecting to the city water or sewer system, city sewer and water connection charges based on the number of units shall be paid. If, after the initial connection charges are paid, additional building permits or new sewer and water connections are made, the charges shall be recalculated and any additional charges shall be paid. The city connection charge per unit and area charge shall be established by city council resolution. B. The number of units shall be computed as follows: 1. The following types of residential housing each comprise one unit per dwelling unit: a. Single- family houses: A single - dwelling unit. b. Townhouses: A multi - dwelling with potential for laundry facilities included in each unit. c. Duplex units, apartments and condominiums: A multi - dwelling with potential for laundry facilities included in each unit. 2. Apartments and condominiums shall each comprise eighty percent (80 %) of a unit if there is no plumbing for laundry facilities within each dwelling unit. 3. Mobile homes shall each comprise one hundred percent (100 %) of a unit. 4. Other buildings and structures shall be assigned one water unit for each five hundred forty eight (548) gallons per day of water usage and one sewer unit for each two hundred seventy four (274) gallons per day of sewage flow which it is estimated they will discharge. Commercial and industrial building units shall be assigned a minimum of one unit. The most recent "Standard Criteria" published by the metropolitan waste control commission will be used as a guideline for determining the number of units for various commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. 5. Multi- dwelling public housing units and multi - dwelling housing units subsidized under any government program for low and moderate income housing shall be counted as seventy five percent (75 %) of the unit equivalent for that type of housing if there is no garbage disposal and dishwasher. The seventy five percent (75 %) rate applies to the townhouse's rate when laundry facilities or hookups are included in each unit or the eighty percent (80 %) apartment rate if laundry hookups are not included in each unit. C. The city connection charges shall be paid to the city before a building permit or sewer or water connection permit is issued. The city council may approve the assessment of city connection charges on new or enlarged multiple residential, commercial, or industrial buildings when the number of residential equivalent units is ten (10) or more. The council may assess the city connection charges on any dwelling or building when the installation of the city utility system is made after the construction of the dwelling or building. The rate of interest shall be set by the city council. D. In addition to the city connection charge, the user shall also pay the sewer availability charge as determined by the metropolitan waste control commission. The metropolitan waste control commission sewer availability charge shall be applied to the city before a building permit, or permit for sewer and water connections is issued. E. City water connection charges shall be deposited in the water trunk fund and city sanitary sewer connection charges and sanitary sewer area charges shall be deposited in the sanitary sewer trunk fund.

Mielke, City Administrator Date: November 22, 2013 City of Lakeville Administration Subject: Code and Nuisance Enforcement Options and Workload and Cost Recovery Options Staff has continued to investigate options regarding alternatives for the enforcement and resolution of code and nuisance violations. These options include continuing the current process, establishment of an administrative citation process or modifying the current process to allow the recovery of staff time and overhead costs. In addition, it is important to recognize the current workload and staffing levels within the departments responsible for code enforcement activities when evaluating the appropriate code enforcement process. The Planning, Inspections and Police Departments currently address an average of 240 code or nuisance complaints annually resulting in approximately 648 hours a year dedicated to code enforcement activities. Current Process After the City becomes aware of a potential code violation an initial inspection is completed, and if a violation has been found, a written notice is sent to the property owner and they are given 10 - 14 days to remedy the violation. After the 10 - 14 day deadline a follow up inspection is conducted to determine if the violation has been addressed. If the violation has not been addressed, a second written notice is sent to the property owner and they are given 7 days to address the issue. If the violation has not been addressed by the end of the 7 day period, and the violator has not made other arrangements with staff, a criminal citation is issued and the violation is processed through the district court system. When the property owner does not address the code violation after several notices by the City, a criminal citation and possible court ordered penalties is the only option that remains to bring the property into compliance with City ordinances. Unfortunately, there are certain negative consequences for both the City and the accused, which includes the delay of a prompt resolution, the label as a "criminal' for violations of administrative regulations, inefficient use of the court system and costs associated with lost staff time and attorney fees. The time and overhead costs expended during the enforcement process is financed through the general fund tax dollars. Administrative Citation Process Staff discussed with the City Council, at previous work sessions, the establishment of an administrative citation process as an alternative way to enforce some City ordinances. As discussed, an administrative citation process is considered a non - criminal ticket issued to individuals who are not in compliance with City ordinances. An administrative citation differs from a criminal citation in that an administrative citation is not punishable byjail and does not appear on an individual's criminal record and are processed entirely by the City and do not involve court proceedings. The establishment of an administrative citation program would include preparing the appropriate standards and processes that follow state statute and adoption of new City ordinances by the City Council. Some of the costs associated with the processing and administration of an administration citation process could be subsidized from the collection of fines. It should also be noted there is still some debate as to whether statutory cities, such as Lakeville, have the legal authority to create an administrative citation process. It is anticipated the State Legislature will address and clarify this issue in the 2014 Legislative Session. Cost Recovery Process Another option for the City Council to consider is to charge a "cost recovery fee" for inspection services, as opposed to imposing a civil penalty or an administrative citation. Under current law, the City can charge and assess the costs of services related to property maintenance and code enforcement such as when the city mows lawns that are in violation of the ordinance. State Statute 429.021(8) specifically allows for the assessment of costs associated with nuisance abatements. Therefore, the tall grass and weed complaint process could be modified as shown on the attached flow chart to include other code violations such as noise complaints, junk or illegally parked vehicles, sign violations, property maintenance issues, etc. The process would follow our standard procedures including, investigation of the complaint, inspection of the site and mailed notices. Cost recovery charges would begin accruing with the second inspection and continuing with the third inspection and into the citation stage for non - compliance situations. After due process has been completed, the City sends the owner an invoice, and if left unpaid the City assesses the cost via State Statute 429. The amount of the inspection fee would not be punitive, but would rather be intended to recover the actual cost to the City for the inspection, letter writing, and file- documentation related to the case and other related costs. The proposed per inspection fee would be approximately $70.00 based on a typical violation scenario requiring a minimum of one hour of staff time to prepare notices and conduct inspections. The following table identifies the annual potential for the recovery of costs based on inspection data collected from the Planning and Inspections Departments from 2009 to 2013. The Police Department numbers are estimated: Department Number of Violations Requiring a 2 "" Inspection Number of Violations Requiring a 3 11 Inspection and Citation Planning 6 1 Inspections 18 3 Police 10 2 Subtotal 34 x $70.00 = $2,380 6 x $70.00 = $420 Grand total $2,380 + $420 = $2,800 Staff will be available at the November 25" City Council work session to review the above code and nuisance enforcement options.
