AND SUMMARY PUBLICATION OF ORDINANCE
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motions:
1. Move to approve the Ordinance Adopting Fees and Summary Publication of Ordinance.
2. Move to approve the Resolution Adopting the Fee Schedule.
Approval of the ordinance will result in the approval of changes for permits, planning and
engineering fees, connection charges and other development fees. Approval of the summary
publication of ordinance requires four-fifths (4/5) approval. Approval of the resolution will
result in the revisions to and approval of the schedule of fees.
Overview
State law requires that the establishment or modification of fees to process land use
applications must be established by ordinance after a public hearing is conducted.
The fee schedule is reviewed annually to ensure that rate structures accurately reflect cost
of services provided. The proposed 2021 budget anticipated adjustment of certain fees. The
proposed changes are consistent with the discussions conducted at the budget work sessions
on October 26, 2020 and November 23, 2020.
Primary Issues to Consider
Which fees are proposed to be adjusted and by how much?

Subject: 2021 Proposed Fee Schedule
INCLUDES ADDITIONAL FEE CHANGE EXPLANATIONS
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to discuss the proposed changes to the City of Lakeville
2021 Fee Schedule.
Summary
Annually staff reviews the fee schedule as part of the budget process and makes
recommendations to the City Council for changes or additions as needed. The Council is
required to announce the time and place of the council meeting at which the 2021 official
fee schedule would be discussed, and which would allow for citizen input. A public hearing
as required by State Statute 462.353 is being held on December 7, 2020. The requirements
to adopt a fee schedule set out in Minnesota Statute 462.353 subd. 4 will be met at the
December 7, 2020 Council meeting.
The public hearing will allow citizens and other interested parties to voice their opinions
regarding the fees and charges. The input received from the October 26th work session
and public hearing on December 7th will be incorporated into the 2021 Official Fee
Schedule.
Staff is not currently proposing any changes to the watermain, sanitary sewer and storm
sewer connection charges, however, these fees will be evaluated in early 2021 following
review by a consultant in reference to the 2040 comprehensive plan and the projected
costs of planned infrastructure expansion.
Conclusion
The 2021 Official Fee Schedule will be incorporated into the City Code with an effective
date of January 1, 2021 unless noted otherwise. New fees, including fees that have
historically been charged but haven’t been reflected on the fee schedule, and proposed
changes are indicated in the table on the following pages alongside their present amount.
Please see the description of the changes following the table.
Attachment:
1) Proposed Fee Schedule Changes and Explanations [including adjustments to
explanations as discussed during the November 23 worksession as noted in red
below]
Explanations of Fee Changes
1. The residential park dedication fees are proposed to increase by 5.0% as of January
1, 2021, to coincide with the increase in estimated market value of unplatted land.
2. Revised the staff hourly fees to reflect estimates for 2021 cost of living adjustments.
Consistent with prior years, the rates are calculated using 2.5 times payroll costs (to
account for benefit and other indirect costs). Also added new Public Works
Coordinator position (new in 2020 due to staff turnover).
3. Added language in the parks section to allow the Parks and Recreation department
staff flexibility in providing adjustments to hourly rental fees for reoccurring rentals
by the same groups. The purpose is to recognize the value of a committed
reoccurring rental in terms of guaranteed revenue, minimal staff time after
commitment of a rental, etc. The Parks and Recreation department will formalize
the specific terms within their rental policy/information for use in 2021.
4. Revised the Planning and Zoning Staff Services rates for the Associate Planner and
the Planning Director to reflect estimates for 2021 cost of living adjustments.
Consistent with prior years, the rates are calculated using 2.5 times payroll costs (to
account for benefit and other indirect costs).
5. Removal of the “Transfer ownership or replacement” fee of $1.00 in the Animal
Fees/Licenses section, because the City no longer sells dog licenses.
6. Increased the Public Safety Staff Services fees (Police Officers, Community Service
Officers) for estimated 2021 cost of living adjustments, the goal being to ensure
City costs are recovered for when these services are billed.
7. Revised the Chief Officer hourly fees to reflect changes in wages over the past
several years (this fee has not been adjusted in a number of years), and added a
new fee for district chiefs based on actual payroll rates
8. Revised the staff hourly fees to reflect estimates for 2021 cost of living adjustments.
Consistent with prior years, the rates are generally calculated using 2.5 times payroll
costs (to account for benefit and other indirect costs).
9. Revised the hourly equipment use fee for the motor grader from $58 to $80 per
hour to match the rate per the FEMA schedule.
10. Increased the fee for valve replacement from $32/valve to $43/valve to ensure the
City is recovering costs incurred on each valve replacement service.
11. Sewer rates are proposed to increase in order to cover infrastructure improvements
to lift stations in the 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Plan, as well as a 2.82%
increase in the MCES charges, which are not controllable by the City. The
recommended increase is a $.58 per quarter for the basic sewer charge and $.29 per
thousand gallons of discharge. For the average residence using 18,000 gallons, the
increase in the quarterly bill is $5.73. More detail is provided in the October 26 Utility
Budget/Rate memo.
12. Water rates are proposed to increase to cover infrastructure improvements and
future debt payments associated with those improvements as proposed in the
2021-2025 Capital Improvement Plan. The recommended increase is $1.34 per
quarter for the basic water charge and $0.23 per thousand gallons of consumption
(tier 1), $0.53 per thousand gallons of consumption (tier 2), and $1.09 per thousand
gallons of consumption (tier 3). For the average residence using 15,000 gallons of
water, the increase in the quarterly bill is $10.05. For the average residence using
34,400 gallons of water (average summer usage), the increase in the quarterly bill is
$16.20. Additional discussion on the water rates took place at the October 26 and
November 23 Council work sessions.
13. Increased the fee for third and subsequent out of cycle meter reads to be $62/visit,
consistent with the utility service call fees (during normal business hours).
14. Added a new fee entitled “special meter read for tenant/owner changes.” This fee is
meant to recover costs incurred by the City in processing tenant/owner changes, as
this activity has significantly increased in recent years. This fee is intended to be
similar to the third/subsequent out of cycle meter read, and the rate is set at the
same amount of $62/visit.
15. Increased the water meter testing fee for 5/8” to 1” meters to ensure we are
recovering costs incurred on water meter testing.
16. The water service call fees are proposed to be increased from $56/visit to $62/visit
for calls during normal business hours and from $128/visit to $132/visit for service
calls after normal business hours. The purpose of these increases is to better reflect
the actual costs incurred by the City in performing the service calls. These fees are
charged for water disconnection, water reconnection, other service calls, and for
meter reading of customers who have opted out of the radio-read type meters
(meter must be read manually).
17. Increased fees for mini manhole cover installation to ensure we are recovering costs
incurred in providing these services (increase due to increase in staff costs).
18. Added fee of $1 for customers to continue to receive paper bills. This is a new
fee. The purpose of this is to cover costs of processing and mailing paper bills,
as well as to encourage customers to move to electronic bills.
19. Increased the threshold for providing utility bill refunds for customers moving out
of a property from $5.00 to $10.00. Also added that any balances greater than
$10.00 will be applied to a resident’s new account if they will remain in Lakeville, or
a check will be issued if they will not remain in Lakeville. The purpose of these
changes is to reduce the number of refunds to be processed, thereby reducing the
amount of staff time and cost associated with generating these refunds.
20. Added verbiage to the Senior Citizen discount to stipulate that in order to receive
the discount, households must be utilizing city water/sewer services and that no
discount is provided on the environmental resources fee. Also added that there will
be a moratorium on new enrollment in the senior discount program effective
January 1, 2021.
21. The Environmental Resources Fee is proposed to be increased $0.33 per quarter to
offset the costs associated with environmental and forestry related programs. More
detail is provided in the October 26 Utility Budget/Rate memo.
Staff would also like to provide additional information regarding the senior discount that
is currently offered on utility bills, if the Council would like to explore further. The discount
currently applies to heads of households over 65 years of age or living on social security
or pension income. There is no income limitation such as the U.S. poverty guidelines that
we currently use for special assessment hardship deferrals. We currently have 1,514
residents that are actively receiving the senior discount. 483 of these customers were
receiving the discount prior to 1998, meaning they receive a 30% discount on all usage
(water and sewer), and they do not pay any street light fees. Starting in 1998, the discount
changed to 30% of usage up to 10K gallons used, sewer and street lights.
Using most recent annual financial reporting from 2019, this equates to greater than
$86,000 in discounts provided. The number of customers enrolled in the discount
program continues to climb through 2020. The total cost of providing utility services
continues to rise year over year (with some fluctuation for volumes used in rainier years),
but providing a discount to seniors results in the rest of the rate payers subsidizing the
discount amounts.
The following chart shows the amount of discount that has reduced revenues in the
following Funds:
Reduction of revenues due to senior discounts‐ by year
Years Water Sewer St Light Total
2020 YTD 17,804$ 38,118$ 26,946$ 82,868$
2019 18,054 40,828 27,327 86,209
2018 15,535 33,365 27,214 76,114
2017 12,891 27,663 28,272 68,826
2016 9,255 24,260 28,578 62,093
2005‐2015 73,178 167,021 326,428 566,627
Totals 146,717$ 331,255$ 464,765$ 942,737$
Since our utilities are intended to be self-sufficient, pay-as-you-go systems, staff believes
it would be most equitable to eventually eliminate the discount currently offered based
on age. Additionally, few of our peer cities offer any similar discount on utility bills. In a
survey completed during October 2020, the following results were noted:
The City of Blaine offers a discount on the flat sewer fee, but no discount on
water fees.
The cities of Plymouth and Minnetonka historically offered a senior
discount, but both ended their program for new enrollment several years
ago. Both cities grandfathered in the senior discount program participants
until the property changes ownership
The following cities do not currently offer any senior discount: Eagan, Edina,
Apple Valley, St. Louis Park, Burnsville, Bloomington, Eden Prairie.
If the senior discount program is eliminated in the future, staff proposes the following:
No further enrollment effective immediately.
Further discussion between the two following elimination options-
o Complete elimination of the program. Provide one year of notice to
customers that the program is being discontinued, and then turn off
discounts one year later.
o Grandfather in current participants, but not allow any further
enrollment (immediately). Continue to offer the discount to those
currently receiving it until they no longer reside at their current
property in Lakeville.
