10-6-1: DECLARATION OF POLICY: During the construction process, soil
and debris is highly vulnerable to erosion by wind and water. Eroded soil and
debris endangers water resources by reducing water quality and causing the
siltation of aquatic habitat or fish and other desirable species. Eroded soil and
debris also necessitates cleaning sewers and ditches.
The purpose of this ordinance is to safeguard persons, protect property and
prevent damage to the environment in the City. It is intended to also promote the
public welfare by guiding, regulating and controlling the design, construction, use
and maintenance of any development or other activity that disturbs or breaks the
topsoil or results in the movement of earth on land and generates debris.
The City hereby adopts and incorporates by reference the erosion, sediment, and
waste control standards established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's
NPDES/SDS Construction Stormwater General Permit MNR100001 (CSW
Permit) as now constituted and from time to time amended.
The information in this ordinance is supplemental to language in other
ordinances, plans, policies, guidelines and contracts included but not limited to
the following:
1. City of Andover Surface Water Reseurse Management Plan
(WRAAR) (SWMP)

2025 Budget Development Progress Update/Discussion
November 26, 2024
9)
INTRODUCTION
The Council has had several reviews of the 2025 Proposed General Fund Budget that will be
supported by the 2025 Tax Levy. The Council did adopt at the September 3rd regular Council
meeting a Preliminary 2025 Property Tax Levy & General Fund Budget. The Preliminary 2025
Budget proposes a total property tax levy of $20,404,084: $12,298,182 (60.28%) operational levy,
$4,881,034 (23.92%) debt service levy, and $3,224,868 (15.80%) other levies.
The 2025 Proposed Property Tax Levy is proposed to increase the City's gross tax levy by 12.75%.
That levy will be applied to the City's growing tax base and will reflect a 12.71 % increase in the
current City tax rate. The focus of the 2025 Budget and Levy is to address inflationary items,
capital replacements, an infusion of funds into the street improvement program, and address staff
retention. The Council has the right to reduce or keep constant this levy until the final certification
date of December 28, 2024.
By the November 28th workshop, all the City of Andover residents and businesses should have
received property tax statements.
Much of what will be covered at the workshop will be repeat information with updates to
date; Administration is looking for City Council direction as the fmal preparation steps for
the December 3, 2024, Budget/Lew Hearing for the 2025 Budget nears. City Administration
will review with the Council the bold italics items at the meeting. Also....
Administration/Finance will review with the Council the following attachments at the meeting:
1. Pay 2025 Valuation Estimates (Py- 12)
2. City ofAndover Property Tax Levy — 2019 to proposed 2025 (po. 13 —142
3. Proposed Resolution to Adopt the 2025 Budget and Tax Levy(pgs. 15 —17)
4. City ofAndover 2025 Budget Summary by Fund Types (pgs. 18 — 27)
5. Proposed 2025 General Fund Revenue & Expense Summary (pgs. 28 — 31)
6. Graphs that will be used at the December 4, 2024, Budget Hearing (pgs. 32 — 38)
DISCUSSION
The following are the 2025 Budget Development guidelines adopted at the May 7h City Council
meeting:
1) A commitment to a City Tax Capacity Rate to meet the needs of the organization and
positioning the City for long-term competitiveness using sustainable revenue sources and
operational efficiencies.
Note: Anoka County Assessor estimated taxable market value figures for the City of Andover
refect only a 0.40 % increase in total taxable market value for 2025, last year the increase
was 2.93%. (See attached Pay 2025 Valuation Estimates.)
2) A fiscal goal that works toward establishing the General Fund balance for working capital at
no less than 45% of planned 2025 General Fund expenditures and the preservation of
emergency fund balances (snow emergency, public safety, facility management & information
technology) through targeting revenue enhancements or expenditure limitations in the 2024
adopted General Fund budget.
Note: With property tax revenues making up close to 80% of the total General Fund revenues
cash flow designations approaching 50% are appropriate and recommended by the City's
auditor. The 2024 budget development exceeded this guideline for cash flow, also Emergency
Fund Balances (approximately 3% of planned General Fund expenditures per finance policy)
are in place to stabilize a situation, not be a complete solution. The Council did approve at the
November 19`h Council meeting a $93,700 transfer to the Capital Equipment Reserve Capital
Projects Fund to offset the costs related to the August 2024 storm.
3) A commitment to limit the 2025 debt levy to no more than 25% of the gross tax levy and a
commitment to a detailed city debt analysis to take advantage of alternative financing
consistent with the City's adopted Debt Policy.
Note: The adopted 2024 debt levy was 21.50% of the gross tax levy, the 25% guideline for
2025 will be attained via the structured management of the current long-term debt as an
equipment certificate and street reconstruction bonds are contemplated for late 2024.
4) A comprehensive review of the condition of capital equipment to ensure that the most cost-
effective replacement schedule is followed. Equipment will be replaced based on a cost benefit
analysis rather than a year -based replacement schedule.
Note: The City Vehicle Purchasing Committee has been meeting and is performing this
analysis and will make recommendations on equipment needs to the City Council as part of
the 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) developmentprocess. The 2025-2029 CIP was
adopted after a public hearing at the September 17 h Council meeting.
5) The use of long-term financial models that identify anticipated trends in community growth
and financial resources that will help designate appropriate capital resources for future City
needs. The financial models will be used in the budget planning process to ensure that key
short-term fiscal targets are in line with long-term fiscal projections.
Note: The City continually maintains various financial models to determine the long-term
impacts of present-day expenditures and financing decisions. Fiscal assumptions are based
upon a set of financial data including growth factors, tax capacity valuations, per capita
spending, fund balance reserve, and debt ratios.
6) Continued commitment to strategic planning targeted toward meeting immediate and long-
term operational, staffing, infrastructure and facility needs.
Note On May 25, 2023, and June 8, 2023, the Andover City Council and StaffLeadership Team
convened work sessions with Facilitator Phil Kern for the purpose of updating its long-term
vision, organizational values, external values, and short-term goals.
The outcome of those sessions was summarized, and the Council adopted the updated "City of
Andover Strategic Plan" at the June 20, 2023, City Council meeting. Administration will
ensure that the direction provided is integrated into department work plans and budgets.
7) A management philosophy that actively supports the funding and implementation of Council
policies and goals, and a commitment to being responsive to changing community conditions,
concerns, and demands, and to do so in a cost-effective manner.
Note: Special attention will be given to fiscal values, commercial & residential development
or redevelopment, collaboration opportunities, service delivery, livability, and image of the
community.
StaffingFocus
ocus
Consistent with the strategic plan, the City will be prioritizing staff to assure that the City of
Andover is supported by talented and well -supported officials and that its employees operate in a
strong organizational culture providing stability, creativity, and excellence in delivery of service.
The strategic plan provides the following goals:
• Develop and implement succession plans, identifying and establishing appropriate depth
within each department and mentoring employees to gain organizational capacity.
• Implement actions related to staff retention and attraction in order to keep the City market
competitive (compensation, benefits, etc.).
Evaluate staffing and level of service for Fire, EMS, and Sheriffs Office to provide
effective fire and rescue response.
There are anticipated retirements and staff vacancies within the current and the next few years; in
response Administration/Human Resources continues to focus on succession planning, utilization
of internship opportunities, continued cross -training of staff, and/or realignment of resources.
Some past realignments added significant new responsibilities and pay adjustments were made
and continue to carry forward into 2024.
Administration did receive a new staffing request from the Fire Department for the 2025 budget.
Deadline for submission was July Pt.
Fire Department - New requests are for an Administrative Assistant and an additional Fire
Inspector/Firefighter for the 2025 budget. The primary focus is to help meet acceptable response
times with the Duty Crew and Paid -on -Call model. Administration and Fire are closely monitoring
the progress of the Duty Crew model, success is crucial as duty crew alternatives such as full-time
firefighters are expensive.
Prior Fire Department staffing requests have outlined what a fulltime firefighting model would
look like; bottom line expensive, an additional $1.5 million per year for operations, plus additional
capital expenses to bring fire stations up to code for fulltime staffing (sleeping quarters).
Administration has not recommended the full-time firefighting model but does want the Council
to be aware of the cost of that model. The additional Fire Inspector/Firefighter for the 2025 budget
is not recommended at this time by Administration as the City is currently undertaking a Fire
Services Evaluation by Fitch & Associates which is anticipated to be complete in early 2025. It is
anticipated that recommendations in the final report will be key toward future new Firefighter
hires. Relative to the Administrative Assistant request, Human Resources/Administration is
evaluating options for additional administrative support service options for the Fire Department
within the current City staffing compliment.
Personnel Related Implications
To date the following are the other projected issues facing personnel related expenses:
1. Human Resources has reviewed all position -based salaries and the associated benefit
package to determine if the total package is competitive with other government entities.
Human Resources has reviewed all position -based salaries and the associated benefit
package to determine if the total package is competitive with other government entities and
did present to the Council at the August 27h workshop the findings and recommended
market adjustments for various non bargaining positions. The Council did provide
direction to integrate those recommendations addressing market competitiveness into the
2025 budget.
2. A midyear review of the employee health plan for the 2025 Budget was conducted with
our broker on July 9h and October 22nd, and an increase in the renewal rates was
forecasted.
For the 2024 budget, Administration at the November 8, 2023, Council meeting,
recommended switching from the Health Partners Open Access program to MEDICA with
three high -deductible plan designs offered to the employees. The health plan is offered with
higher deductibles ($6,900 single and $13,800 family) and is stacked with an HRA (Health
Reimbursement Arrangement). The HRA was originally funded utilizing premium savings
that were achieved from by continued renewal of higher deductible plans. Employees have
$3,500 single and $7,000 family deductibles; but with the stacked HRA, the City will
reimburse the remainder of the deductible, if needed, to the provider up to $3,400 for single
and $6,800 for family.
The plan offered is accompanied by a health spending account (HSA), originally
implemented in 2006. The City does contribute annually to an employee's HSA to assist
4
with the high deductible out of pocket costs. That contribution is evaluated as part of the
marketing of the health insurance plans, is in place for 2024 and proposed for 2025.
A 9.5% increase in the renewal rates was approved at the November 41h Council meeting.
3. Fire Services Study
The City of Andover Strategic Plan identifies the following as a major short-term initiative,
"Evaluate staff ng and level of service for Fire, EMS, and Sheriff's Office to provide
effective fire and rescue response. "
hi response, the City initiated a Request For Proposal (RFP) process seeking an
independent firm that specializes in reviewing Fire and EMS service. Proposals were due
on May 17'h. After the review of nine submitted proposals, three firms were interviewed,
and Fitch and Associates was recommended to the Council for approval at the June 18a`
City Council meeting. Fitch & Associates did start the study process in late June with data
requests and onsite in July.
4. Andover Fire Relief Association
The City of Andover Strategic Plan identifies the following as a major short-term
initiative, "Implement actions related to staff retention and attraction in order to keep the
City market competitive (compensation, benefits, etc). "
At the February workshop, the Council met with the Andover Firefighters Relief
Association where a presentation along with stories and personal impacts behind the
numbers was provided by members of the Relief Board. Council direction from that
meeting was for Administration to gather additional data and for the Council to discuss a
Fire Relief contribution and Firefighter pay at a future workshop, City Administration did
provide to -date research, shared conversations with other communities, and provided
analysis.at the May 28th Council workshop.
The outcome of the May 28�h workshop was the City Council while recognizing a
contribution is not mandatory also recognizes that a municipal contribution can contribute
to the City achieving firefighter recruitment goals, long-term retention of firefighters and
to assist in fending off going to full-time firefighters.
The City Council did adopt at the June 4' regular council meeting a process and formula
for the current year 2024 and future year's contribution to the Andover Firefighters Relief
Association. The City formula for a municipal contribution is based on service credits as
determined by the Andover Fire Department and the process will be triggered after the
preceding years' service credits are certified to the Andover Firefighters Relief
Association, no later than March 31st of each year. Payment made after a 60 -day appeal
of service credit process.
The formula established is as follows: For the 2024 contribution the City has established
a baseline of $125/per service credit. The municipal contribution will be calculated by
5
multiplying the baseline per service credit by the total number of months certified per
active firefighter. In future years, the baseline per service credit will be adjusted by the
cost -of -living adjustment (COLA) percent increase provided to the City non -bargaining
employees for the budget year payment is made.
Contractual Departments
Consistent with the strategic plan, the following goal applies to contractual departments:
Evaluate staffing and level of service for Fire, EMS, and Sheriff's Office to provide
effective fire and rescue response.
• Continue to enter into collaborative agreements and partnerships when mutually
beneficial.
The City Attorney 2024 contract included a 2% increase over the 2023 contract. The
proposed 2025 budget is carrying a placeholder increase for the attorney's 2025 contract.
2. The Anoka County Assessor contract was up for renewal in 2023 and was approved going
into the 2024 budget. The County Assessor is on a five-year contract renewal consistent
with past renewals. Efficiencies brought about by technological investments have assisted
in keeping the contract pricing consistent and affordable. No increase is proposed for 2025.
3. Each year the City Council approves the subsequent years (2025) law enforcement contract
with the Anoka County Sheriff's Office as part of the annual budget process.
The current 2024 City of Andover Law Enforcement contract (a status quo contract to
2023) was approved at the September 19, 2023, City Council meeting with expenditures
budgeted at $3,739,849, offset by a Police State Aid revenue budget of $128,104 and
School Liaison revenue budget of $110,767 reflecting a net tax levy impact of $3,500,978.
The 2024 Sheriff's contract provides for:
a. 72 hours per day of patrol service,
b. 6 hours per day of service provided by a Community Service Officer,
c. 2 full-time Deputy Sheriffs assigned to Community Oriented Policing (working in such
areas as patrol, selected enforcement efforts, and crime prevention), &
d. 2 Patrol Investigators.
The Crime Watch Coordinator position historically covered 50% by Andover was moved
to be under the Sheriff service umbrella with the 2024 contract.
Per contract, the Sheriff always provides the required number of deputies for all hours
contracted by the City. If the Sheriff's Office has a deputy vacancy or a deputy is injured
etc., they still provide the City with a deputy at straight time even though they may have to
fill those hours with overtime which at times may cost the Sheriff's Department additional
but is not billable per the contract.
As you may recall, 2022-2023 legislation regarding limitations placed on School Liaison
Officers was met with a decision by the Anoka County Sheriff to not place School Liaison
Officers in Andover High School and Oak View Middle School for school year 2023-2024.
In response, the City and the Sheriff s Office addressed this in the 2024 Law Enforcement
Contract by adding language in the contract to address the School Liaison Officers by
adding the following language to the 2024 contract: "In the event the Sheriff reassigns staff
to an assignment that is not in service to the municipality. The parties will come to a mutual
agreement as to a commensurate reduction in compensation to the County." That language
will not be needed for the proposed 2025 contract, as there was a push for the legislature
to provide more clarity to the new law at the most recent legislative session (2023-2024)
and as more acceptable language was approved by the Legislature and Governor, in
response the School Liaison Officers were placed back into Andover High School and Oak
View Middle School in February of 2024.
Discussions with the Anoka County Sheriff were for a 2025 status quo contract. The 2025
City of Andover Law Enforcement contract was approved at the July 2, 2024 with
expenditures budgeted at $3,93 6,982 (5.27% increase), offset by a Police State Aid revenue
budget of $126,192 and School Liaison revenue budget of $147,000 reflecting a net tax
levy impact of $3,663,790(4.65% increase).

Youth Programming — Andover Community Center
Regarding Youth Programming, the City of Andover Strategic Plan identifies the following as
major short-term initiatives:
• Develop and implement additional youth activity programming at the Andover
Community Center.
• Continue to enter into collaborative agreements and partnerships when mutually beneficial.
In response, Administration and Community Center staff are working with the YMCA to develop
a more structured after school program at the ACC.
Council input will be sought regarding implementing a program and the potential utilization of
Opioid Settlement funds to assist with starting up the program at the ACC. To date, the City has
received approximately $159, 000 to date in settlement funds.
Capital Projects Levy
Consistent with the new strategic plan, the following goal applies to capital projects:
• Review and update street capital improvement plan, including funding and
implementation.
• Prioritize the timely replacement of equipment and commitment to necessary maintenance
of equipment and municipal facilities.
• Explore, identify gaps, and strengthen critical infrastructure.
The 2024 Capital Projects Levy Budget specifically designates $2,434,438 of the general tax levy
to capital projects and equipment needs relating to Capital Project Outlay ($300,000), Road and
Bridge ($1,651,822), Pedestrian Trail Maintenance ($112,616), Park Projects _($15,000) and
Facility Maintenance Reserve ($355,000). Specific designation of the tax levy to anticipated City
needs and priorities for transportation and trail maintenance, park projects and equipment outlays
allows the city to strategically allocate its resources and raise the public's awareness of City
spending priorities. The Road and Bridge levy is evaluated annually and along with Capital Outlay,
Pedestrian Trail Maintenance, Parks Projects, and Facility Maintenance levies increased/decreased
according to the City Council budget guidelines.
Road and Bridge
An adjustment was made to the Road & Bridge funding formula in 2014, primarily to stop
the continual decrease in the levy that has been happening over the past few years due to
decreases in the Anoka County Assessor taxable market value figures for the City of
Andover. Based on Council discussion, consensus was to stop the decline in road funding
and evaluate annually through the adopted City Council Budget Development Guidelines.
It should be noted that in 2014, Local Government Aid (LGA) in the amount of $74,655
was used to help fund the Road & Bridge Fund. The State of Minnesota funding has gone
away, down to $0.00 in 2017, and has remained at 0.00 each year since. Future increases
in LGA or even the presence of LGA for the City of Andover based on the current State
formula are remote.
In 2021, as part of the 2022 budget process, Administration has had discussions with the
Council regarding the use of debt service levy and the Permanent Improvement Revolving
(PIR) Fund fund balance to address immediate street maintenance needs in the community
based on Engineering analysis of the street infrastructure. The Council did approve the
2022 Street Reconstruction Bonds infusing $7.33m into the Road & Bridge program to
focus on mill and overlays and reclaims of city streets.
For the 2025 budget development, detail analysis including a review of conditions and
needs of the city street system to date was presented to and discussed by the City Council
throughout this spring and summer, this review has shown a financial need of
approximately $70,000,000 over the next 8 years to bring all City streets to acceptable
levels. Through this process the City Council reviewed the City of Andover Road Rating
process, forecasted costs, proposed improvement methods (mill & overlay, full street
reclaim, or full street reconstruction), potential revenue sources and potential future
corresponding property tax impacts.
The City Council rejected options that included increasing assessment rates or using
franchise fees. The City Council chose to integrate bonding with the current assessment
rates, current funding sources, pursuit of grant options, and an increased property tax
contribution starting in 2025.
The 2024 Road & Bridge levy reflected a 2.02% increase to $1,651,822, that increase
followed previous Council guidelines capturing market value increases to dedicate to
roads. Administration is proposing a 45.29% increase ($748,178) to $2,400,000 for the
2025 levy to help address the new Street Improvement Program.
• Pedestrian Trail Maintenance
The 2020 City of Andover Pedestrian Trail Maintenance levy was $104,040. The 2021,
2022, 2023 & 2024 budgets each included a 2% increase leading to a $112,616 levy for
2024.
Administration is again proposing a 2% increase ($2,252) to $114,868for the 2025 levy.
• Park Improvements / Parks Repair & Replacement
This levy is an annual appropriation to be used to underwrite park improvement projects
as recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission and approved by the City
Council. This funding is intended to be a supplemental source of capital funding for park
projects that are separately identified in the City's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan.
The 2015 levy was $61,500, but only $15,000 was levied for 2016. $46,500 of the previous
levy was re -assigned to the General Fund to focus on Park's maintenance/replacement
items. hi addition to the re -assigned funds, an additional $43,500 of General Fund levy was
assigned to Parks Repair/Replacement items for a total levy of $90,000 in 2016, and that
continued for 2017. The 2018 General Fund levy assigned to Parks Repair/Replacement
items levy was increased to $100,000 for 2019, to $120,000 for 2020 & 2021, $130,000
for 2022 and $145,000 for 2023; the Parks Project levy has remained the same at $15,000
since 2015.
For 2024, per Council direction after a Joint Meeting with the Park and Recreation
Commission as part of the 2024 budget development process, there was a $90,000
adjustment proposed to these levies, the Parks Repair/Replacement Items levy was set at
$235, 000 and the Parks Project levy remained at $15, 000. No change is recommended for
the 2025 budget.
0
Capital Equipment/Projects
Under the Capital Projects Levy, a levy is proposed to be designated to Capital
Equipment/Project expenditures identified through the CIP process. Through this
designation, the City, over time, will build a fund reserve to avoid cash flow "spikes" and
address a wide range of capital improvement needs such as facility maintenance projects
under a more controlled spending environment.
The 2022 levy & 2023 levy was $275,000. An additional $25,000 increase to $300,000
was done with the 2024 levy to continue to meet the needs of the CIP. A change is
recommended for the 2025 budget.
Facility Maintenance
This was a new $50,000 levy proposed for 2018. A facility condition assessment study
identified many maintenance repairs for City facilities such as roof repairs, HVAC,
electrical panels, fire alarm systems, windows, and air quality related items. This levy was
increased to $355,000 for the 2019 budget to help address the deferred maintenance items
that have been identified. Most recently for the Public Works and Community Center
buildings expansion projects within the City Campus Master Plan materialized. The
$355,000 levy is anticipated to continue at that level into the future to address additional
facility repairs.
The preliminary 2025 levy does not recommend any adjustment to the Facility
Maintenance levy. $355, 000 is again proposed for the 2025 levy.
Debt Service Lew
Annually the Finance Department conducts a detailed debt service analysis to monitor outstanding
debt and to look for early debt retirement or refinancing opportunities that will yield interest
expense savings to the city.
Staff, along with Ehlers & Associates have completed reviews to see if any refinancing
opportunities are available at this time, currently there are none. Staff will continue to monitor
refunding opportunities, as markets move quickly, and calculate potential savings for each issue
that may meet parameters which may generate savings.
The proposed 2025 Debt Service levy is as follows:
• 2012C Taxable G.O. Abatement Bonds $ 969,824 Final levy year 2031
• 2018A CIP Bonds
$ 617,257
