CITY COUNCIL/EDA WORKSESSION AGENDA REPORT
DATE: August 12, 2024
DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE Prepared
by: Ryan Garcia & Clara Hilger

Agenda item: 2025 Preliminary Budget Discussion
Desired Meeting Outcomes:
•
•
•

Review and discuss preliminary 2025 budget and property tax levy.
Review HRA and EDA preliminary property tax levies and budgets.
Provide direction to Staff regarding the preliminary 2025 Budget including any additional
information required to aid in the decision-making process.

Overview:
At the May 13th Council worksession, Staff and the City Council discussed the 2025 budget process
and identified the convergence of several factors unique to 2025 (Decertification of the Concord Steet
No. 2 Tax Increment Financing District, Infrastructure Funding (additional $1,000,000 for 2025), all
labor agreements settled through 2025, etc.) that would impact the 2025 Budget and Levy. Following
that discussion, Staff has prepared a Preliminary 2025 Annual Budget and Preliminary Proposed
Property Tax Levy for Council’s consideration. As we have done for the past several years, departments
began developing their budgets in mid-June and Finance and Administration conducted individual
departmental budget review meetings in July prior to preparing the Preliminary Budget Document,
which is attached to this memo.
As a result of these efforts, Staff has arrived at a preliminary proposed Property Tax Levy for 2025 of
$17,278,271. This represents an aggregate increase of $1,434,762 – 9.06% - over the Revised 2024
Levy. The notable levy increases proposed in this preliminary levy are to support General Fund
Operations (a $434,678 – 3.26% increase over the 2024 Levy to support General Fund Operations) and
the Infrastructure Levy (a $1,000,000 – 137.93% increase over 2024). Staff notes that these increases
are aligned to direction received by the Council previously: keeping the operating levy within a 2% 4% increase and “ramping up” the investment in the Infrastructure Fund as identified in the Council’s
Goal Setting Session(s) from 2019 - 2024. To supplement this high-level synopsis of the 2025
preliminary levy and to provide a summary of the 2025 preliminary budget, Staff would offer the
following:
•

Local Government Aid (LGA) is anticipated to increase by $11,683 for 2025 to a total of
$3,760,748. LGA funding to support Capital Programs is proposed at $1,268,129, providing
funding for capital items that don’t have another funding source.

•

Non-levy revenues in 2025 in the General Fund are up (about $381,680 or 4.83%) year over
year against 2024. As this relatively moderate figure would indicate, most non-levy revenues are
anticipated to change very little in 2025, with a few small exceptions:
o Charges for Services are proposed to increase by $189,187 (9.35%) year over year
against 2024, with virtually all of the net increase being found in Administrative Charge
revenues and Engineering Charges to major infrastructure projects.

Page 3 of 261

o Fees & Fines are only budgeted to increase by $15,140 (0.70%) for 2025, with increases
related to Fines and Forfeits and Business Licenses and Permits offset by a decrease in
Franchise Fees collected (as discussed and agreed upon in principle by the Council at a
July Worksession) and all other Licenses and Permits.
•

In keeping with the Council’s commitment to continue to “stay ahead” of the City’s many
infrastructure needs, the 2025 proposal shows $1,725,000 in levy support for the Infrastructure
Fund. This is an increase of $1,000,000 over the figure for this line item in the 2024 budget. As
Council will recall, the establishment of this Fund was first identified as a priority in the 2019
Goal Setting Sessions. The fundamental premise of utilizing levy support for the infrastructure
fund is to minimize if not altogether avoid the need to take on debt for routine road and utility
reconstruction and rehabilitation projects. Given the expectation that significant investments in
Public Facilities such as the Central Maintenance Facility, Aquatics Facilities, and Recreational
Facilities will need to be evaluated and potentially programmed in the near future, Staff feels it
is important to avoid borrowing for routine road and utility projects to the extent possible.

•

General Fund Expenditures are proposed to increase by a total of $816,358 (3.85%) over 2024
General Fund Expenditures. If adopted, this would represent the smallest year-over-year dollar
increase in the General Fund Expenditures since 2021 (the “COVID” budget), and the second
smallest (to 2020’s 2.94% increase) year-over-year percentage increase in General Fund
Expenditures for more than a decade. No new positions are proposed within the 2025 Budget,
and no major new initiatives requiring additional levy support are proposed in the 2025 Budget;
this is a budget that generally focuses on maintenance of services and a commitment to making
a strong investment in the City’s Infrastructure Program.

•

Related to the above point, at the May Worksession the City Council directed staff to prepare
the Preliminary 2025 – 2029 Capital Improvement Plan and present it at the same time as the
Preliminary Budget and Property Tax Levy (typically the CIP is rolled into “Phase 2” of the
annual budget process, later in the fall). The CIP is included for discussion and feedback. The
2025 CIP proposes more than $21 million in Capital Projects for 2025. Council should note
Page 13 of the CIP Document (Sources and Uses of Funds – Capital Programs Fund) and Page
16 (Sources and Uses of Funds – Infrastructure Fund), which highlight those projects for which
LGA and Infrastructure Levy (both highlighted in the Annual Budget) serve as the primary
sources of funding.

•

Some notable projects found in the 2025 CIP:
o In Buildings, we plan $3,270,000 for 2025 which includes the feasibility and design
phases for the replacement of the Central Maintenance Facility (“Public Works”) and the
first of three HVAC unit replacements at City Hall. The Council will note that the
Central Maintenance Facility replacement project (see Page 19 of the CIP for detail) is
estimated as a $30,000,000 project, and proposed to be funded through a new debt levy.
o In the Central Garage (see pages 3 – 4 for summary), we plan to replace $738,000 in
vehicles, including three police cars, one large plow truck and three small vehicles for
various departments.
o At the Doug Woog Arena (see page 4 for summary), we anticipate $830,000 in capital
projects including the replacement of several rooftop HVAC units and the addition of

Page 4 of 261

dehumidification for Rink 1. We also plan to replace one Zamboni and refurbish the
other; the cost for these two items will be paid from the Central Garage fund.
o Engineering (see pages 4 – 5 for summary) intends to have a busy year in 2025 with
more than $15,000,000 in projects scheduled. These include the Lead Service Line
Replacement project funded with PFA settlement proceeds, phase 1 of the Marie Ave
Reconstruction project partially funded with a Safe Routes to School Grant, the
Verderosa Extension project primarily funded with a Federal Community Project
Funding Grant, and the 4th Street S Pavement Rehabilitation project.
o Parks and Recreation (see pages 5 – 6 for summary) also have a busy year planned with
four park play structure replacements, the Kaposia Park Building Restoration and
Parking Lot Mill & Overlay projects, and resurfacing the tennis courts at Summit Park.
The planned projects total just under $1,000,000.
•

HRA and EDA levies are each increased by 5.23% in 2025 and remain consistent with the
statutorily-prescribed maximum for each Levy:
o HRA Levy for 2025 of $442,631
 Proposing a transfer of $100,000 to the Housing Reinvestment Fund, which is a
fund that provides rehabilitation loans for qualifying residential property owners
in the City and has proven quite popular in its first year.
 Proposing a transfer of $220,452 to the Redevelopment Fund, which is a
designated fund to undertake the EDA’s statutorily authorized activities related to
economic development and redevelopment activities.
o EDA Levy for 2025 of $433,778
 Proposing an increase in professional services with the intention of continuing
our partnership with a third-party economic development and real estate
consultant to assist on targeted economic development initiatives.
 Proposing a slight increase ($1,000) in the Conferences, Training and Travel
budget to accommodate attendance by Staff and a Commissioner at the 2025
National Brownfields Conference.
 Proposing a transfer of $100,000 to the EDA’s Business and Development Loan
Program.

Staff looks forward to receiving Council’s input and feedback on the preliminary Proposed 2025
Budget, Property Tax Levy and Capital Improvement Plan, and continuing towards our shared goal of
providing our community members with a high level of service in a professional, responsible, costeffective manner.

The Fire program is accountable for:
● Providing fire protection services including fire suppression, emergency medical services, hazardous materials
response,and specialized rescue.
● Providing fire prevention services including Fire Code inspection and enforcement, preconstruction building
plan review, fire investigation to determine cause and origin, and public safety education.
● The Cities of South St. Paul and West St. Paul entered into a joint powers agreement to consolidate the City's respective
fire departments, thereby creating a new entity known as the South Metro Fire Department (SMFD) as of January 1, 2008,
the operational date. The SMFD is governed by a five-member board of directors that include two council members from
each joint city, and one public member which is not an employee nor a resident of either city. The activities of the SMFD
will continue to be funded by each respective city, reflected in the professional service cost.
● The SMFD receives various revenues and has a separate EMS Taxing district levy. These revenues are not reflected in
the City's budget directly, they are netted against expenditures to arrive at the Professional Service Charge.

Budget Highlights and Changes:

●

Notable Expenditure Changes for 2025
● The professional service cost is programmed to increase by 0.85% for 2025.
SSP segregates the portion of cost related to debt issued into the debt service fund.

the Fire department equipment - this is an in-kind cost.

ANNUAL BUDGET
BUSINESS UNIT:

Activities and Responsibilities:
The Development Services Program is Accountable for :
● Comprehensive land-use planning and zoning for the City
● Providing staff services to the Planning Commission
● Administering all aspects of the comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances
● Enforcing land use ordinances
● Reviewing, processing, and coordinating building permit applications and issue building permits
● Performing field inspections of building construction related to permit applications
● Researching and interpreting building codes
● Coordinating development review with Engineering and other City Departments for proposed development projects
● Providing counter service to residents and businesses who have questions about their property

Budget Highlights and Changes:
Significant Revisions - 2024 Original vs. 2024 Revisions
●
Notable Expenditure Changes for 2025
● Training budget is being reduced by $750- The Planning Manager and Associate Planner attended a national conference in
2024 that was in Minneapolis. It is not in Minnesota this year and they will not be attending. The Building Official's conference
costs increased slightly. The Building/Inspections Support Specialist is going to start attending an annual training.
● The professional services contract is being increased by $15,000 to reflect the fact that the City has paid the contracted
electrical inspector at least $40,000 annually for the past several years so the $25,000 line item is not accurate.
This expense is completely offset by fees paid for electrical permits.
● The expense for the workstation for a shared Dept. Support position has been eliminated.
● The Building/Inspections Support Specialist is joining a professional organization with $100 in annual dues.

CITY OF SOUTH ST PAUL, MN
FUNCTION:
Community Development

DEPT. & DIV:
Community Development - Economic Development

ANNUAL BUDGET
BUSINESS UNIT:
20280

Activities and Responsibilities:
The Economic Development program is accountable for:
● Developing and implementing plans and strategies for advancing economic and community development.
● Assisting existing and prospective businesses and developers.
● Assisting existing businesses with expansion and reconstruction projects. Providing guidance to bring new
development projects to fruition.
● Providing expertise regarding available public and private business financing resources, including state
assistance, possible local initiatives and other funding sources.
● Administration of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) plans and Business and Development Loan Programs.
● Providing staff services to the EDA and City Council.
● Administration of portfolio of vacant properties located throughout the City and held for future resale and
redevelopment, including managing property maintenance issues.

Budget Highlights and Changes:
Significant Revisions - 2024 Original vs. 2024 Revisions
●
Notable Expenditure Changes for 2025
● Staff is proposing an increase in professional services (6302) for 2025, as we recommend continuing to work with our
economic development consultant to assist with business attraction, marketing, and deal-making efforts related to the
Hardman Triangle and Concord / Concord Exchange corridors in particular.
● Staff is proposing a $1,000 increase in Conferences, Training and Travel (6331) for 2025. Given all of the City's recent
and anticipated experience and examples of Contaminated Site cleanup and development, we think this conference is an
opportunity to possibly highlight our experiences and work (as presenter) and also for an EDA member to potentially attend.
● Staff is proposing an operating transfer of $100,000 to the City's Business and Development Loan Program. This program
has seen a slight uptick in activity in the past year and staff recommends using a portion of the EDA levy to support this
important economic development tool.

The replacement of police vehicles is programmed every year in order to minimize repair and maintenance costs of the vehicles. The useful life of
a police vehicle varies by assignment, with a marked patrol vehicle having a serviceable lifespan of four to five years and non-patrol assigned
vehicles having an expected lifespan of eight to ten years. For 2025, the following vehicles are tentatively scheduled for replacement:
Replace Squad Unit #2151 plus change over costs - 65,000.00
Replace Squad Unit #2152 plus change over costs - 65,000.00
Replace Squad Unit #2160 plus change over costs - 65,000.00

Category Computer Equipment & Softw

Finance Priority

Total Project Cost: $270,000

Description

LOGIS began searching for a replacement ERP in 2021. This will include the Finance, HR/Payroll and Utility Billing software. The actual
assessment from LOGIS for the new ERP will depend on the system selected.

The expectation is that this may be between $300,000 and $500,000 for SSP. Actual amounts received August 2022 - reduced amount to $270,000
for both systems.

Justification

The LOGIS group began using JD Edwards (Finance and HR/Payroll) in 1999. The group has been using CIS (Utility Billing) since 2005. The
expectation is that the system selected will accommodate the majority of the needs of the members of the LOGIS group.

The four rooftop units (#7, #8, #9 & #10) above the former school area are past their useful life (original from building being built in 1998) and are
experiencing a higher than normal rate of mechanical failures and it has become increasingly difficult to find parts to maintain. We are in the
process of trying to find a tenant to rent our this space to generate additional revenue so having updated mechanicals would be beneficial to this.

Thermal Imaging units are used to scan areas for suspects, locate victims, identify suspect vehicles and locate property/evidence using the "heat
signature" to help locate persons or objects which cannot be seen by the naked eye. The handheld units are very portable and can be easily carried
in an officers pocket. The portability of these units allows for use inside buildings, wooded areas, and in areas not accessible by vehicle. The
current handheld Thermal Imaging units were purchased in 2014 and will be at the end of their useful life at the time of replacement.

The City of South St. Paul has five (5) Outdoor Weather Warning Sirens. The Alice Court siren was replaced in 2019, but the other four locations
(City Hall, Kaposia Park, 17th Avenue North/3rd Street North and Warburton Street/1st Avenue South) have been operating for decades without
replacement. In the last several years, some of the siren locations have been very unreliable, often failing and needing costly repairs. By beginning
a replacement schedule now, the City will avoid costly repair and have a system of reliable Outdoor Weather Sirens.

Thermal Imaging units are used to scan areas for suspects, locate victims, identify suspect vehicles and locate property/evidence using the "heat

laptop computer in the squad and are valuable in patrolling alley and businesses to identify suspect hiding and lurking in the area. The exterior
mounting of these units is important as Thermal Imagining will not work through glass, so using the handheld units is not ideal for general patrol
use. The current squad spotlight mounted Thermal Imaging units were purchased starting in 2014 and will be at the end of their useful life at the
time of replacement. The replacement of these units will be done during squad replacement change over to save on costs. (2027- 2030

simplification and standardization of training, ability to provide replacement weapons/parts when a repair is needed and the ability to share
handgun magazines with other officers in critical incidents. The current handguns were purchased in 2016 and will be at the end of their useful
life. The total project cost includes proceeds from the sale of the old firearms and the cost of new holsters.

Most of the current Patrol Riffles in our marked squad cars would be best described as "Frankensteined". In the late 1990's we received several
Vietnam era surplus rifles from the US Military. Over the years, we replaced various parts on those weapons to make them more usable as a
modern police patrol rifles. This included the replacement of the upper receiver/barrel assembly including the addition of a quad rail for mounting
accessories (digital sights and lights). The replacement of stock/buffer tube assembly with a adjustable stock which provided a better fit for all
officers. And finally the replacement of the lower receiver/trigger assembly allowing us to return the surplus rifles to the military in 2015. At the
time of replacement these rifles will be well past their useful life and need of replacement. (2028 Project)

The South St. Paul Police Department has deployed and utilized squad mounted video recorders since the early 2000's and body worn cameras
since 2019. Our entrance into body worn cameras was done through the lens of least expensive at the time while affording the technology market
to stabilize before committing on a path for the future. AXON has proven to be the leading technology in this area and investment with them will
lead to a reduction in support staff internally, while realizing efficiencies elsewhere in the system (prosecution services, internal Laserfische
savings, etc).

Taser Replacement

Category Police & Fire Equipment

Total Project Cost: $50,000

Description

Purchase Taser 7, cartridges, and weapon holsters from Axon

Justification

The department implemented Taser in 2004 and it has proven to be one of the most valuable tools in our industry in supporting a reduction in
protracted hand to hand combat, officer injuries and offender injuries. As Taser has evolved over the years, the department has been able to
implement the newer models while supporting the older as the cartridge utilized in all platforms remained unchanged. Taser has created and
released the Taser 7 which replaces all previous models and fires a different cartridge, thus eliminating the interoperability we possessed as we
upgraded. The department has refrained from upgrading to the new platform for a few years due to this conflict and our older devices are no
longer supported.
Once implemented, the department will be able to resume its annual replacement cycle outside of the CIP until such time as Taser again evolves
and changes their platform / cartridges.

COUNCIL WORKSESSION REPORT

DATE: August 12, 2024
DEPARTMENT: Finance
PREPARED BY: Clara Hilger
ADMINISTRATOR: RG

AGENDA ITEM: Discuss the disposition of the excess Unassigned Fund Balance in the General
Fund at the end of 2023
DESIRED MEETING OUTCOMES:



Discussion as to the disposition of the excess Unassigned Fund Balance in the General
Fund at the end of 2023

OVERVIEW:
In December 2014, the City Council updated the Liquidity-Fund Balance Policy to state that, “The
General Fund shall enter a new budget year with an unassigned fund balance that is in the range
of 35-50% of the new year’s budgeted expenditures…”
At the end of 2023, the General Fund had an Unassigned Fund Balance of $11,047,472 which
exceeded 50% of the 2024 General Fund budgeted expenditures by $434,879.
Historically, the City has allocated these excess funds to programs or funds that have a need for
additional one-time funding. The Capital Programs fund has been a primary recipient to pay for
projects that are scheduled in the Capital Improvement Plan.
Some of the options for the use of these funds include:
 Move the funds to the Capital Programs Fund to pay for one-time or short-term
expenditures, like the purchase of equipment or tree replacement.
 Move the funds to the Capital Programs Fund and designate them to be used for a specific
purpose, i.e., buildings, parks, etc.
 Move the funds into the Infrastructure Fund to be used for infrastructure replacement.
 Leave the funds in the General Fund to cover future shortages.
 Leave the funds in the General Fund and reduce the property tax levy for 2025.
o Staff recommends caution with this option. These are one-time funds; there is no
guarantee that we will have a surplus in future years.
For the 2022 excess fund balance, the Council chose to transfer $250,000 to the Central Garage
Fund for equipment reserves, and the remaining $1,027,985 to the Capital Programs Fund for
future capital project costs.

Staff recommendations for the 2023 excess fund balance include the following:
 Transfer to the Capital Programs Fund for future capital project costs.
 Transfer to the Infrastructure Fund for future capital project costs.
 Leave the funds in the General Fund to future cover future shortages.
Staff believes that the disposition of these funds is closely linked to the 2025 budget discussion on
this agenda and should be considered in tandem.
We are requesting direction on how the Council would like to apportion the $434,879 of excess
fund balance.
