AGENDA ITEM:
Public Works Facility Funding Options
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION:
Over the past several months, the City Council has discussed a variety of funding options for the proposed
Public Works Facility, including property tax levy-supported debt and the potential use of enterprise funds.
As part of this ongoing discussion, City staff have continued to explore additional funding opportunities
that may help reduce reliance on any single funding source while maintaining flexibility for future City
needs.
One option currently under evaluation is the use of utility franchise fees to support a portion or all of the
facility financing costs. Staff is presenting this concept for Council discussion and direction regarding
whether further analysis should be completed.
ANALYSIS:
A franchise fee is a charge imposed by a city on utility providers for the use of public rights-of-way. These
fees are collected by utility companies and remitted to the City. Forest Lake currently imposes franchise
fees on electric and natural gas utilities through agreements with utility providers.
Unlike property taxes, franchise fees apply to all utility customers, including tax-exempt properties such as
schools, churches, nonprofit organizations, and government-owned facilities. Because the fees are
collected through utility bills, the cost is shared among a broader group of users than traditional property
taxes.
Forest Lake's current franchise fee structure consists of flat monthly charges that vary by customer
classification but are not tied to utility consumption. As the City evaluates this funding approach, staff
could explore several alternatives, including:
• Maintaining a flat monthly fee structure.
• Implementing a sliding-scale approach based on customer class.
• Utilizing a tiered fee structure similar to the model adopted by the City of Burnsville.
• Combining franchise fees with other funding sources to reduce impacts to any single group of
taxpayers or utility customers.
Staff has reviewed Burnsville's recent approach to funding major municipal facility investments through
franchise fees. Burnsville evaluated several funding options, including:
• 100% Franchise Fee Funding
• 100% Property Tax Funding
• 50% Property Tax / 50% Franchise Fee Funding
2
Ultimately, Burnsville selected a franchise fee-supported model and implemented variable franchise fee
increases across customer classes to support debt service payments associated with their facility project.
As part of Forest Lake's analysis, staff is currently working with Ehlers to evaluate potential bonding
structures and funding scenarios. This analysis will help determine the financial impacts associated with
various funding combinations and identify approaches that best balance affordability, long-term financial
sustainability, and preservation of future levy capacity.
Potential scenarios under review may include:
• 100% Franchise Fee Funding
• 50% Franchise Fee Funding / 50% Property Tax Levy Funding
• Franchise Fee Funding combined with Enterprise Fund participation
• Other blended financing structures utilizing property taxes, franchise fees, and enterprise
revenues
Each option presents unique benefits and tradeoffs related to customer impacts, tax levy capacity, utility
rates, and long-term financial flexibility.
RECOMMENDATION:
At this time, staff is seeking Council feedback regarding whether franchise fee financing should continue
to be explored as a potential funding component for the Public Works Facility project.
If the Council wishes to proceed with further evaluation, staff will continue working with Ehlers to develop
detailed financing scenarios and cost projections. Staff would also invite Bruce Kimmel of Ehlers to attend
a future Council meeting to review bonding options, funding alternatives, and the projected impacts
associated with each financing scenario, allowing the Council to make an informed decision regarding the
preferred funding approach.

AGENDA ITEM:
General Fund Balance Policy Review and Recommended Update
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION:
The General Fund Balance Policy serves as one of the City's most important financial management tools.
Maintaining adequate fund balance helps ensure the City can respond to economic uncertainty,
unexpected emergencies, fluctuations in revenue, and unforeseen expenditures while maintaining stable
service levels.
As part of the ongoing review of the City's financial policies and long-term financial management practices,
staff conducted a comparison of General Fund Balance policies utilized by peer communities throughout
the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The purpose of this review was to evaluate whether Forest Lake's
current policy remains consistent with industry best practices and the approaches used by comparable
cities.
Currently, the City of Forest Lake maintains a policy requiring an unassigned General Fund balance equal
to 50% of annual budgeted expenditures.
ANALYSIS:
Staff reviewed fund balance policies from several comparable Minnesota communities, including White
Bear Lake, Lino Lakes, Farmington, Rosemount, Elk River, Prior Lake, Hastings, Stillwater, and Ramsey.
The review found that while most communities maintain strong fund balance reserves, the majority utilize
a target range rather than a fixed percentage requirement.
Examples include:
CITY
LINO LAKES
FARMINGTON
ROSEMOUNT
ELK RIVER
PRIOR LAKE
HASTINGS
STILLWATER
FUND BALANCE POLICY
40% – 50% of operating expenditures
40% – 50% of next year's budgeted expenditures
45% – 55% of next year's budgeted expenditures
40% – 45% of budgeted operating expenditures
40% – 50% of projected expenditures
35% – 45% of budgeted expenditures
35% – 50% of operating expenditures
4
The review demonstrated that a range-based policy is the prevailing approach among peer communities
because it provides flexibility while still maintaining strong financial reserves.
Under Forest Lake's current policy, the City must maintain a minimum fund balance of exactly 50%
regardless of changing economic conditions, one-time expenditures, or strategic financial priorities. While
maintaining strong reserves remains important, a fixed requirement can limit the City's ability to
strategically utilize reserves when appropriate without technically falling out of policy compliance.
A range-based policy establishes both a minimum and maximum target, allowing the City to respond to
changing financial conditions while maintaining strong fiscal stewardship. This approach recognizes that
fund balance levels naturally fluctuate from year to year and allows staff and Council to focus on long-term
financial stability rather than a single fixed benchmark.
Staff also notes that rating agencies, auditors, and municipal finance professionals generally view policies
that establish a clearly defined reserve range favorably, provided the City remains within the adopted
target.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the comparative review and industry best practices, staff recommends amending the General
Fund Balance Policy to establish a target unassigned fund balance range of 45% to 50% of the subsequent
year's budgeted General Fund expenditures.
This recommendation would:
• Maintain Forest Lake's commitment to strong financial reserves.
• Continue positioning the City favorably for future borrowing and credit evaluations.
• Provide flexibility to address one-time financial needs without immediately falling out of policy
compliance.
• Align Forest Lake more closely with the practices of comparable Minnesota communities.
• Support long-term financial planning and budget stabilization efforts.
The proposed policy range would continue to establish a conservative reserve level while allowing the City
greater flexibility in managing financial resources and responding to changing operational and economic
conditions.
Staff recommends Council direct staff to prepare amendments to the Financial Management Policy
reflecting the proposed fund balance target range of 45% to 50% for future consideration and adoption.

AGENDA ITEM:
2026-2031 Capital Improvement Plan
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this memorandum is to introduce the proposed 2027–2031 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
and provide an overview of the City's planned capital investments over the next five years.
The CIP serves as the City's long-range planning document for major infrastructure, equipment, utility,
facility, park, and public safety investments. The plan allows the City to identify future capital needs,
evaluate funding strategies, coordinate project timing, and ensure resources are aligned with Council
priorities and community needs.
The proposed 2027–2031 CIP includes more than 130 projects across 16 departments and represents
approximately $110.1 million in planned capital investments.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed CIP includes approximately $110.1 million in capital expenditures between 2027 and 2031.
The plan reflects continued investment in transportation infrastructure, utility systems, parks and trails,
public facilities, public safety equipment, and regulatory compliance projects.
Key CIP statistics include:
• Total CIP Investment: $110.1 million
• Projects Included: 130+
• Departments Represented: 16
• Peak Spending Year: 2029 ($31.3 million)
• Estimated Mandated Spending: $9.2 million (8.4% of total CIP)
Spending by Year
Capital expenditures are distributed across the five-year planning period as follows:
Year
Planned Spending
2027
$23.2 million
2028
$21.0 million
2029
$31.3 million
2030
$13.0 million
2031
$21.5 million
Total
$110.1 million
The largest investment year is 2029, driven primarily by several major infrastructure projects, including
the North Shore Drive and Trail reconstruction projects and the construction of a new water storage tank.
6
At approximately $31.3 million, 2029 accounts for nearly 28% of all planned CIP spending.
Spending by Department
Street infrastructure continues to be the City's largest capital investment area.
Department
Streets
Parks & Trails
Water
Sewer
Public Works Equipment
Surface Water
Police
5 – Year Total
$55.3 Million
$12.2 Million
$11.4 Million
$7.8 Million
$6.0 Million
$5.5 Million
$3.5 Million
Street-related projects account for approximately 50% of the entire CIP, reflecting the City's ongoing
commitment to maintaining and improving roadway infrastructure, trails, sidewalks, and transportation
systems.
Parks & Trails and Water Utility projects represent the next largest investment categories, driven by
planned trail improvements, park redevelopment projects, and utility infrastructure replacement needs.
Funding Sources
The CIP utilizes a variety of funding sources to balance infrastructure investment needs while minimizing
impacts to any single revenue source.
The largest funding categories include:
Funding Source
Planned Spending
Governmental Debt
$29.5 million
Water Utility Debt
$11.5 million
Parks Debt
$9.0 million
State Aid (JD4)
$5.7 million
Enterprise Funds
$9.3 million
Grants
$3.6 million
Combined, the three debt issuance categories account for approximately $50 million of planned capital
spending and are primarily associated with long-lived infrastructure assets.
Enterprise funds contribute approximately $9.3 million through utility revenues rather than property
taxes. Grant funding is heavily concentrated within airport-related projects, where MnDOT typically funds
up to 90% of eligible project costs.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements
While most projects are driven by local infrastructure needs and community priorities, portions of the CIP
are required by federal and state law.
Fully Mandated Projects
Estimated Cost: $1.5 million (1.4% of CIP)
Examples include:
• Lead and Copper Rule Compliance (EPA)
7
•
•
•
•
Wellhead Protection Planning
MS4 Stormwater Permit Requirements
Comprehensive Plan Update
Public Safety and Building Code Compliance Improvements
These projects are required by federal regulations, state statutes or regulations, permit requirements, or
code compliance obligations.
Partially Mandated Projects
Estimated Cost: $5.1 million (4.6% of CIP)
The second category consists primarily of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements
incorporated into major street reconstruction projects.
While the City is not legally required to reconstruct a roadway solely because it exists, federal ADA
requirements mandate that when pedestrian facilities are altered or reconstructed, ADA-compliant ramps,
crossings, and accessibility improvements must be incorporated into the project.
As a result, approximately $5.1 million of planned capital spending is associated with ADA-related
improvements embedded within larger transportation projects.
Major Projects
Several projects account for a significant portion of planned CIP expenditures, including:
• North Shore Drive Reconstruction
• North Shore Trail Reconstruction
• New Water Storage Tank
• JD4 Headwaters Park Reserve Improvements
• CSAH 32 Improvements
• Fenway Park Redevelopment
• Annual Street Reconstruction and Preservation Programs
These projects address aging infrastructure, support community growth, improve public safety, and
enhance quality of life for residents.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the proposed 2027–2031 Capital Improvement Plan and
provide feedback regarding project priorities, funding assumptions, and long-term capital investment
strategies.
The CIP is intended to serve as a planning document and financial roadmap. Inclusion of a project within
the CIP does not authorize construction or funding. Individual projects will continue to be brought before
the Council through future budget approvals, grant applications, bonding authorizations, engineering
reports, and project-specific actions as appropriate.

Description
This project consists of exterior stucco repair and restoration work at the City of Forest Lake facility located at 21350 Forest Boulevard North. The work includes
removal and replacement of damaged exterior materials, application of new stucco and protective coatings, and related exterior finish improvements to restore
and maintain the building exterior.
Justification
The existing exterior stucco and related building finishes have deteriorated due to age and weather exposure, creating the potential for moisture intrusion and
continued exterior damage. Completing these repairs will restore the integrity and appearance of the building exterior, protect underlying structural components,
and help prevent more extensive and costly repairs in the future. The project will also improve long-term durability and reduce ongoing maintenance needs for
the facility.

Description
This project consists of remodeling and converting existing storage areas within the City Center administration area into functional office space to accommodate
additional staff needs. Improvements may include interior modifications, construction, electrical and technology updates, and related building improvements
necessary to create usable workspace for City operations.
Justification
Due to continued staffing growth within the Finance, Building, and Zoning departments, available office space within the City Center administration area has
become limited. Converting existing storage areas into office space will allow the City to better accommodate current staffing needs, improve operational
efficiency, and provide appropriate workspace for employees while maximizing the use of existing building space.

Description
This project consists of modifying the building hot water system to allow domestic hot water to be heated through the existing boiler system rather than relying
solely on the current standalone water heater. The project will also include the purchase and installation of a smaller backup water heater to provide
supplemental and emergency hot water capability. Associated plumbing, mechanical, and control modifications will be completed as necessary to support the new
system configuration.
Justification
The existing standalone water heater currently serves the entire building and represents a single point of failure for domestic hot water service. Converting the
system to utilize the existing boiler infrastructure, along with adding a smaller backup water heater, will improve system reliability and provide operational
redundancy in the event of equipment failure. The proposed configuration is expected to reduce long-term operating and maintenance costs while providing a
more efficient and dependable hot water system for the facility.

Useful Life

Description
This project consists of the phased replacement of existing Mitsubishi CITY MULTI reverse heat pump HVAC units serving the facility. The building currently utilizes
eight Mitsubishi CITY MULTI systems that provide heating and cooling throughout multiple building zones. The project will replace aging units and associated
components as needed to maintain reliable building climate control, operational efficiency, and compatibility with the existing HVAC infrastructure. One unit was
replaced in 2025 following an unexpected system failure.
Justification
The existing Mitsubishi CITY MULTI reverse heat pump systems were originally installed in 2015 and are approaching or have exceeded the manufacturer’s typical
useful life expectancy of approximately 10 years. While these systems can often remain operational for 20 years or longer with proper maintenance, aging
equipment increases the risk of unexpected failures, reduced efficiency, higher maintenance costs, and potential replacement part availability issues. The
unexpected failure of one unit in 2025 highlighted the need to begin developing a long-term replacement strategy for the remaining systems. Establishing a
phased replacement plan will allow the City to proactively manage future equipment replacements, reduce the risk of operational disruptions, and maintain
reliable heating and cooling throughout the facility.

Description
This project consists of replacing the existing toilets within the three jail cells located in the Police Department jail area. The current coated fixtures are
experiencing rust and deterioration and will be replaced with stainless steel correctional-grade toilets designed for long-term durability and compliance with
detention facility requirements.
Justification
The existing jail cell toilets are showing signs of rust and deterioration despite the protective coating originally applied to the fixtures. The Minnesota Department
of Health requires that detention facility plumbing fixtures remain in sanitary condition and free from rust or corrosion. Replacing the existing fixtures with
stainless steel units will improve durability, maintain sanitary conditions, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce ongoing maintenance concerns within the jail
facility.

Description
This project consists of replacing the existing Tennant T2 walk-behind compact floor scrubber used for facility cleaning operations. The Tennant T2 is utilized to
clean and maintain hard surface flooring throughout City facilities, helping improve cleanliness, floor safety, and overall facility maintenance operations. The
replacement unit will continue to support daily custodial operations and efficient floor cleaning in high-traffic areas.
Justification
The existing floor scrubber has experienced normal age-related deterioration and wear from daily operational use and is becoming less reliable for ongoing
custodial operations. Replacing the unit will help maintain efficient cleaning operations, improve reliability, reduce maintenance concerns, and ensure City facilities
continue to be maintained in a clean and safe condition for staff and the public.

Useful Life

Description
The Lakeside Memorial Park shoreline seasonally erodes. A 2024 study has determined the City should reconstruct the shoreline and make associated
improvements adjacent to the shore in this area.
This has been identified as a priority by City Council. Funding has not been identified. City will explore outside funding options such as grants/donations to assist
with funding this project.
City staff estimated 50% of funding is from grants or outside sources.
Justification
The Lakeside Memorial Park shoreline sesaonally erodes due to the combination of the small rip rap material and lake bounce. This necessitates Public Work's
reconstructing the riprap each year. As a result, the City studied the shoreline and made determination redesign for stabilization, stromwater capture and
treatment, as well as water access is necessary.

As the City seeks to develop a new Public Works facility, the existing Tower Park will become vacant. Though the 2014 Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan calls for
the selling of the Public Works site, planning for the draft Plan update revealed community need for additional recreational ammenities to serve the community
and those in this neighborhood who have limited access to City parks.

Description
In addition to regular/routine replacement of playground equipment and updates to pedestrian amenities, new amenities will be considered to meet the demands
of the neighborhood and community.
Justification
Summerfield Park's playground equipment was installed in 2003. With a 20-year lifecycle, the playground equipment will be 7 years past useful life at time of

2025 Ford Explorer (Police Pursuit Package) with AWD (or similar vehicle) to replace our current 2020 Ford Explorer (Squad #2014), VIN Last Four Digits 1212. 2035
Ford Explorer (Police Pursuit Package) with AWD to replace the 2030 Ford Explorer that will be purchased in 2030 (Squad #3014 ).
Justification
Our current vehicle replacment cycle for patrol vehicles is 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Our current 2020 Ford Explorer (PPV) is five years old
and is projected to have 90,000 - 100,000 miles on it at the time of trade-in. We believe we could get approximately $10,000.00 in selling the vehicle at
auction. The 2030 Ford Explorer that was purchased in 2030, will either be 5 years old projected to have close to 100,000 miles in 2035.

Description
2031 Ford Transit Van with AWD (or similar vehicle) to replace our current 2021 Ford Transit Van that is utilized by both police & fire as a command vehicle (Squad
2017) with VIN Last Four Digits 5076.
Justification
Our current vehicle replacment cycle for patrol vehicles is 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Our 2021 Ford Transit Van is rarely utilized througout
the year, but within 10 years, will need to be replaced due to wear/tear and newer technology. We believe we could get approximately $30,000.00 in selling the
vehicle at auction.

Enhances capacity, reduces sanitary sewer overflows, new control panels & pumps improves services, meet peak weather flow demands, and may also include the
installation of backup generators for unplanned outages.
Justification
Rehabilitating lift stations improves their efficiency, leading to better performance in transporting wastewater. This efficiency enhancement can result in cost
savings and reduced energy consumption. Upgraded lift stations create a safer environment for operational staff. Properly maintained and rehabilitated stations
reduce the risk of accidents and ensure a secure workplace. Lift station improvements contribute to minimizing sanitary sewer overflows. This benefit is crucial for
preventing environmental contamination and protecting public health. Installing backup generators ensures that lift stations continue to operate during power
outages. This reliability prevents disruptions in wastewater management.

Description
Trenchless pipe rehabilitation restores critical underground infrastructure without digging, using minimally invasive techniques to strengthen existing pipes.
Trenchless rehabilitation includes fully structural methods such as cured in place pipe lining and UV-cured pipe lining. Prior to completing the sewer lining the
Contractor will clean and televise the lines. A CCTV sewer inspection uses closed circuit television technology to record inside sewer systems. This allows certified
technicians to view pipelines live while collecting data to determine next steps for resolving any issues detected.
Justification
Cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP) is a trenchless pipe repair method for rehabilitating existing pipelines. It is cost-effective because it minimizes the need for
excavation, reducing disruption to the surrounding area. This method is used to repair pipes that carry sewage, water, and industrial fluids. Ensuring the lines of
your collection system are in sound condition mitigates infiltration and inflow (I & I) issues and the chance of a future problem that could put your community and
your resources at risk. Ensuring the lines of your collection system are in sound condition mitigates infiltration and inflow (I & I) issues and the chance of a future

Category

Useful Life
50 years
Description
Initial modeling indicates that there are capacity issues between SW 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th
Avenues between SW Centennial Drive and Lake Street S. Shallow slopes paired with I/I
within this part of the system create capacity issues that have potential to pressurize this
section. The sanitary sewer pipe between MC357 and MC356 should be kept in place to
allow existing services to remain and discharge to MC356. The structure at MC357 and the
pipe between MC358 and MC357 should be replaced to the new grade proposed. The
proposed alignment from MC358 to MC49 is shown in Exhibit 4. The new construction will
require 6 new manhole structures and approximately 2010’ of 18” sanitary pipe. This new re-route
will help increase the available pipe capacity and will reduce surcharging that may
happen during peak events.
Justification
The Downtown Sanitary Sewer Study was completed to provide the City of Forest Lake with
working knowledge of the sanitary sewer system in the critical downtown corridor. The assessment
included determination of the flow characteristics of the sanitary sewer system; identify issues,
concerns, or deficiencies with the collection system; and recommend changes or improvements that
would address issues and benefit system operation for the long term.
The City will likely redevelop the downtown (Highway 61) corridor over the next 10 years. As the
area converts from commercial to mixed use residential or residential to commercial land uses,
sanitary sewer flow rates will likely change and could further exacerbate capacity issues. Therefore,
understanding the current sanitary sewer system capacity in the redevelopment area is critical in
planning for future sewer connections to the system.

Description
City requires Sanitary Sewer Area Charges within their development fees to include offsetting over sizing charges within residential subdivision projects where
necessary to extend trunk line facilities to meet planned future capacity and planned density requirements. It will be necessary to serve the area south of Hwy 97
along Harrow Ave with the extension of the existing 18" sanitary trunk main dead ended in Hawthrone Heights at Granada Ave N and 204th Street N to connect
up to Greystone Ave and take the existing life station offline and reroute all sewer flows through the extended 18" sanitary sewer trunk line to provide adequate
capacity for additional development.
Phase 1: 2027
Phase 2: 2030
Justification
City's over sizing requirements and capacity needs to make this extension connection area not covered by the Development fees that will be obtained and to
offset costs for this specific costs will require addition funds be allocated to have this work completed at the same time residential development occurs.

Description
The Project scope will include the following on local roadways:
1. Gravel roadways in the rural portion of the City that have accumulated millings being placed on the surface from local maintenance street projects become hard
over time and don't retain normal crown for adequate drainage thus then the project will come in and complete a full depth reclamation and then double chip seal
the surface.
Justification
Gravel base is reclaimed and then recompacted and graded with proper cross slope to improve drainage off of the roadway. Application of the double chip seal
provides a waterproof membrane on the surface to shed water from soaking into the gravel base. Cost is much less than traditional pavement and has worked
very well on low volume existing gravel roadways in the rural portion of the City waiting for development projects to construct streets & utilities.

Structural strength of pavement has deteriorated to the point minor maintenance is no longer able to be completed or beneficial to the pavement, completed
projects reduce street maintenance, improve safety by replacing travel way with better smoothness, replacing signs that meet retroreflectivity standards, and
making corrections to existing pedestrian facilities to ensure they are ADA compliant, and typically provide for 20 year life with minor maintenance versus a full
reconstruction.

Seal Coating prevents water intrusion beneath the surface, slows deterioration of pavement from oxidation, protects the asphalt binder from oils and gasoline,
enhances skid-resistance, and extends pavement life.
Crack Filling decreases further crack deterioration, protecting the pavement structure from moisture damage, and ultimately extending the pavement life.

Description
Project is planned for 2027 construction. Project scope will include pavement replacement, concrete curb and gutter spot repairs, subgrade corrections if needed,
replacement of non-compliant pedestrian ramps, and replacement of street signs & roadway striping from Hwy 97 to 200th Street N. Ten foot wide pedestrian trail
will be constructed to allow for the extension of the existing trail from Fenston Ave N to Hwy 97 connection from the planned MnDOT project in 2025-2026. Trail
crossings to neighborhoods to the west will be reviewed for RRFB system to be installed.
Justification
Structural strength of pavement has deteriorated to the point minor maintenance is no longer able to be completed or beneficial to the pavement, completed
projects reduce street maintenance, improve safety by replacing travel way with better smoothness, replacing signs that meet retroreflectivity standards, and
making corrections to existing pedestrian facilities to ensure they are ADA compliant, and typically provide for 20 year life with minor maintenance versus a full
reconstruction.
Pedestrian Trail extension is necessary as the existing trail stops in the middle of Fenway Athletic Field Complex and constructing this portion of the trail will
connect to the trail that is being constructed along the south side of Hwy 97 with the MnDOT project in 2025-2026.

2028 Traffic Study - A traffic study is completed before final roadway design to understand existing and future traffic conditions so the roadway is sized and
configured correctly. In a municipal commercial area, it helps determine lane needs, intersection controls, access management, and safety measures for vehicles,
pedestrians, and deliveries. This prevents costly redesigns, operational problems, and public safety issues after construction.

Description
The project scope includes the following improvements on County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 32 (11th Avenue). Construction planned for 2028.
1) intersection control
2) safety improvements
3) surface water management
4) drainage improvements
5) pedestrian improvements
6) congestion management
7) Forest Road realignment
8) Watermain replacement and extension along with minor Sanitary Sewer modifications and relocation with Forest Road realignment
9) Project scope and cost currently doesn not include any decorative street lighting
Per Ryan on 6/12/25:
CSAH 32:
Without the realignment of Forest Road the County’s last estimate showed a local share of $1,912,950, this does not include R/W acquisition, county engineering/
construction administration, inflation, our time, watermain & sanitary sewer work, city storm sewer work adjacent to project or street lights.
Scope/Estimates for the water/sewer/storm work after coordinating with Public Works is $1,463,000 (this would be paid by utility funds).
Estimated in CIP $500,000 for our entire time on project but can change with scope of project easily. These cost estimates have not included any street lighting
costs yet as well.
Thus, that’s how I came up with the $3,800,000 below in the CIP and would not change that dollar amount either because I assumed the only way we do Forest
Road realignment is if we got the State Funding (sounds like we didn’t) or we get the Federal Funding the County is chasing on the project so additional scope/costs
would just be a wash if they are successful.
Budget entered into Plan-It (May 11, 2026) / Washington County will refine budget by September/October 2026

Justification
The Broadway Avenue Project constructed a freeway overpass over Interstate 35 connecting CSAH 32 with CSAH 33 (Everton Avenue). This connection is regionally
important. Increased traffic on CSAH 32 has resulted in the need to evaluate improvements to this roadway. City watermain and santiary sewer will need
replacement, relocation, and extension to underserving areas.

Description
The proposed project will reconstruct the intersection of US 61, an A-Minor Arterial, and CR 50 Major Collector, as a signalized intersection within the City of Forest
Lake. The existing intersection is two-way stop controlled. The US 61 pedestrian crossing includes crosswalk markings and an RRFB, despite FHWA recommending
RRFBs for roadways with speeds 40 mph or less (US 61 is 55 mph). Land uses near the intersection are diverse, with residential to the east and west, Forest Lake
High School and downtown Forest Lake to the north, and Shadow Creek Stables directly east. The US 61/CR 50 intersection is at a key link to the Hardwood Creek
Regional Trail, which runs parallel to US 61.
The new signalized intersection will include high-visibility crossings on the north and west legs. All crossings will include high-visibility signage and be ADAcompliant with appropriate ramp slopes and tactile paving. The new intersection will provide a safe and accessible link across US 61 to connect with the Hardwood
Creek Trail.
Justification
The new crossing will provide a key link to larger multimodal networks. The project is located on the Hardwood Creek Trail running 12 miles from the Ramsey
County to the Chisago County lines within Washington County. A Hardwood Creek Trail extension is being planned to link the Bruce Vento Regional Trail in Ramsey
County and the Sunrise Prairie Regional Trail in Chisago County. The project is located on the US 61 RBTN Tier 2 Alignment, signifying that this corridor will remain
a high-priority multimodal route as the region develops.

Description
Highway 8 is an important interregional corridor that serves a variety of transportation needs. It is vital to sustaining local commerce and energizing future
economic growth and vitality. In recent years, High way 8 has become increasingly strained due to high levels of daily commuters, large trucks hauling freight, and
spikes in weekend recreational traffic. A proliferation of secondary roads and private driveways provide direct access to and from Highway 8 which contributes to
safety and mobility issues. To address these issues, Chisago County has been leading a project to improve safety and mobility, while taking pedestrian and bicyclist
needs into consideration. along Highway 8 from I-35 in Forest Lake to Karmel Avenue in Chisago City. Final design and right of way acquisition should commence
later this year and continue into 2026 leading into construction start planned for 2027. With the scope of work planned for Hwy 8 the City will implement the
sanitary sewer and watermain crossing/extensions into the project at Goodview Circle N and plan for pedestrian facilities along Greenway Ave.

Description
Forest Road N will undergo approximately 3,300 feet of full-depth roadway reconstruction to a rural section. The project includes subgrade spot repairs as needed,
re-establishing the roadway crown, drainage improvements, a watermain extension at the north end of the project, and replacement of street signage and
roadway striping. Decorative street lighting is not included in the current project scope or budget.
2027 Planned Work - Public Outreach, Preliminary Survey Work, Right of way/Easement Research, Geotechnical Work, Project Permitting, Project Design, Project
Bid
2028 Planned Work - Majority of construction including utility and street work, and signage.
2029 Planned Work - Final wear course placement, final roadway striping, final restoration, and final punch list work
Project Funding still to be determined.
Justification
The existing double chip seal pavement has deteriorated to a point where continued minor maintenance is no longer effective or cost‑beneficial, and recent
adjacent development has increased traffic demands on the roadway, further accelerating pavement wear and functional deficiencies. Reconstruction will reduce
ongoing street maintenance needs and improve safety by providing a smoother travel surface and replacing traffic signs to meet current retro-reflectivity
standards. The project will also extend watermain and make a connection/loop and the project is expected to provide an approximately 20‑year service life with
only minor maintenance compared to continued short‑term repairs.

Justification
In order to regulate and maintain pressure and water levels throughout a system, water storage units are used to store treated water and manage flow. Water
storage units provide enough pressure to send water into a municipal water supply with enough force to supply all the customers in the area. A water storage unit
also serves as a reservoir to help with water needs during peak usage times. The water level in the tower typically falls during the peak usage hours of the day, and
then a pump fills it back up during the night.

Description
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) require public water systems to complete an inventory of all service
connections in their distribution system. In order to maintain compliance, MDH is requesting that all inventories are submitted by August 15, 2024. City has
already completed this step.
For replacement projects, priority should be given to:
• removing lead service lines that are an imminent threat to public health and safety
• areas with children with elevated blood lead levels
•
•
areas with children under the age of five
lead service lines that provide drinking water to schools, licensed child-care facilities, or other properties known to be used by disproportionately large
numbers of children areas with lower-income residents and other disadvantaged communities
• replacing lead service lines in coordination with watermain replacement
Justification
It’s anticipated there will be no cost to the property owners to replace the privately owned portion of the lead service line. State and federal funds will be used to
provide a 100% grant for the privately owned portion.
The publicly owned portion of the lead service line will initially be funded with a combination of grant funds and zero interest loan. After the work is completed,
the public water system will receive a grant to pay off the loan portion. Final criteria and cost participation agreements have not been executed at this time, to
avoid delays in projects additional funding has been reserved to deal with the replacement requirements to keep projects ahead of others hoping grants and
other funding gives the city an advantage by having projects shovel ready.

scientifically delineating the recharge area of the public water supply wells,
determining the vulnerability of the aquifer to human land use impacts,
identifying potential or existing contaminants based on aquifer vulnerability,
developing a plan to prevent or reduce contamination in the aquifer used, and
developing a contingency plan to provide drinking water in case of a major disruption.
Part I
Part I of the plan delineates the wellhead protection area and drinking water supply management area.
Part II
Part II of the plan includes the development of the Wellhead Protection Plan itself. The plan includes goals, objectives, plan of action, an evaluation program and a
contingency plan.
Justification
Wellhead Protection activities prevent well contamination by managing potential contaminant sources in the land area that contributes water to the well. Public
water suppliers are required to develop Wellhead Protection Plans as stated in the Minnesota Groundwater Protection Act and the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is responsible for administering the State WHP Program. Under the WHP Program, public water systems are required
to develop and implement a plan that protects its drinking water source.

AGENDA ITEM:
Updated Equipment and Fleet Replacement Policy
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this memorandum is to present an updated Equipment and Fleet Replacement
Policy for City Council consideration. The City's existing Equipment Replacement Policy was last
updated in 2013 and no longer fully reflects current market conditions, fleet management
practices, technological advancements, or long-term capital planning needs.
City vehicles and equipment represent a significant public investment and are critical to
maintaining essential services, including public safety, street maintenance, utilities, parks
operations, and administrative functions. Establishing a modern replacement framework helps
ensure these assets remain reliable, safe, and cost-effective throughout their useful lives.
The proposed Equipment and Fleet Replacement Policy updates the City's approach to fleet
management by incorporating industry best practices, lifecycle planning, objective replacement
criteria, and enhanced coordination between departments and the annual Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP).
ANALYSIS:
Staff completed a comprehensive review of the City's existing policy and evaluated fleet
management practices utilized by peer communities and the State of Minnesota. Several factors
support updating the current policy:
Improved Lifecycle Management
The existing policy relies primarily on age and mileage thresholds to determine replacement
timing. The proposed policy expands these criteria to include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Repair history and maintenance costs
Operational reliability and downtime
Safety and regulatory compliance
Parts availability and manufacturer support
Departmental operational needs
Mechanic condition assessments
143
This broader evaluation process allows replacement decisions to be based on actual equipment
condition and operational performance rather than age alone.
Fleet and Equipment Committee
The proposed policy establishes a cross-departmental Fleet and Equipment Committee consisting
of representatives from Finance, Public Works, Police, and Fire. The committee will review
replacement requests, evaluate fleet conditions, and make annual recommendations as part of
the City's Capital Improvement Plan process. This approach improves transparency, consistency,
and coordination across departments.
Updated Replacement Standards
The policy updates replacement benchmarks to reflect current vehicle performance,
maintenance trends, and resale market conditions. Standard replacement schedules have been
established for key asset categories, including police vehicles, fire apparatus, plow trucks, heavy
equipment, and maintenance equipment. These guidelines provide consistency while allowing
flexibility based on operational needs and equipment condition.
Financial Planning Integration
The updated policy formalizes the City's commitment to managing fleet replacement through
long-term capital planning. Replacement needs will be incorporated into the annual budget
process and 10-Year Capital Improvement Plan, allowing the City to better forecast future
expenditures and reduce unexpected capital requests. The policy also reinforces the City's
preference for pay-as-you-go funding through dedicated replacement funds whenever financially
feasible.
Ongoing Review and Accountability
To ensure the policy remains current, staff is proposing a formal review process at least every
three years. This will allow the City to respond to changes in technology, market conditions,
operational requirements, and financial capacity while maintaining best practices in asset
management.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed policy does not create an immediate budgetary impact. Rather, it establishes a
framework that will improve long-term financial planning, reduce emergency replacement costs,
improve asset utilization, and support predictable capital budgeting. By integrating replacement
planning into the City's CIP process, staff expects improved forecasting and smoother levy impacts
over time.
The proposed policy modernizes the City's fleet management practices, improves long-term
financial planning, and provides a consistent framework for maintaining critical equipment and
vehicles needed to deliver services to the residents of Forest Lake.

Improvement Plan.
2. Authorize implementation of the Fleet and Equipment Committee and annual evaluation
process to support future replacement planning.

City of Forest Lake
Equipment and Fleet Replacement Policy
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish a consistent, data-driven approach to the acquisition,
replacement, and disposal of City-owned vehicles, machinery, and equipment. This ensures that City
operations are supported by reliable, safe, and cost-effective assets while maintaining fiscal
responsibility and transparency in accordance with the City’s capital improvement and financial policies.
This policy complements the City’s Capital Asset Policy and is designed to align with Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Minnesota State Auditor guidance, and peer city
best practices.
Scope
This policy applies to all departments of the City of Forest Lake that own, operate, or maintain
equipment or vehicles, including but not limited to: Public Works, Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation,
Utilities, and Administrative and Community Development divisions.
Policy Objectives
• Maintain a fleet and equipment inventory that supports essential services and operations.
• Ensure systematic and predictable replacement scheduling to minimize unplanned capital
spikes.
• Extend asset life through proactive maintenance and mechanic evaluation.
• Support annual budget and long-term capital planning through coordinated asset management.
• Ensure compliance with capital asset capitalization thresholds, depreciation standards, and
disposal procedures.
Governance and Oversight
Fleet and Equipment Committee: The City shall establish a cross-departmental committee (Finance,
Public Works, Police, and Fire) to oversee fleet management, review replacement requests, and
recommend priorities annually as part of the 10-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
Finance Director: Coordinates with departments to integrate the fleet replacement plan into the annual
capital and operating budgets and ensures compliance with the City’s Capital Asset Policy.
Mechanic Evaluation: Mechanics or maintenance personnel will evaluate vehicles and heavy equipment
using a standardized evaluation form that scores condition, reliability, and suitability for continued use.
Units receiving a condition score indicating 'Qualifies for Replacement' or 'Requires Immediate
Consideration' shall be prioritized for replacement.

Funding and Financial Integration
Funding Method: The City will strive to fund equipment replacement through a pay-as-you-go approach
utilizing dedicated Equipment Replacement Funds. For high-cost items, interfund loans or leasepurchase options may be considered if consistent with long-term capital plans.
Budget Integration: Replacement allocations will be programmed through the annual budget and 10year CIP, ensuring smooth levy impact and cash-flow management.
Capitalization Thresholds: Assets with a cost of $10,000 or greater and a useful life exceeding one year
will be recorded as capital assets, consistent with the City’s Capital Asset Policy. Assets below this
threshold will be budgeted and expensed through the operating budget.

All departments are responsible for maintaining equipment per manufacturer standards. The Fleet
Committee will review maintenance histories annually to identify underutilized or high-cost units.
Mechanics shall complete an annual evaluation report for all major fleet items to inform replacement
prioritization.
Fleet Additions or Deletions
Additions: Must be justified by increased service demand, technological improvement, or cost
efficiency.
Deletions: Vehicles or equipment not achieving minimum utilization or that are obsolete shall be
considered for elimination without replacement.
Disposal
Surplus vehicles or equipment deemed beyond serviceable life shall be disposed of following the City’s
Surplus Property Policy and applicable Minnesota Statutes governing municipal asset sales.
Policy Review and Updates
This policy shall be reviewed at least every three years by the Finance Director and Fleet Committee to
ensure alignment with evolving regulations, technology changes, and financial capacity. Amendments
will be presented to the City Council for formal adoption.
Recommendation Summary
1. Adopt the updated Equipment and Fleet Replacement Policy as an amendment to the City’s
Financial Policies.
2. Authorize staff to incorporate the policy into the 2026–2035 Capital Improvement Plan.
3. Direct the Finance Director and Fleet Committee to implement an annual evaluation process using
mechanic scoring and lifecycle benchmarking.
