FAX (763) 755-8923 • WWW.ANDOVERMN.GOV
TO: Mayor, City Council Members and Residents of Andover
FROM: Sarah Cotton, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Adopted 2025 City Budget
DATE: December 3, 2024
INTRODUCTION
City Code 1-6-2 C. Major Areas of Accountability require the City Administrator to submit an annual budget to Council,which accurately reflects
the financial needs of the City organization. Additionally, state law requires that the Council approve a preliminary budget and certify a proposed
levy to the Anoka County Property Records and Taxation Division by September 30, 2024. In response to these requirements, a proposed budget
was presented to the Council on September 3, 2024, in advance of this deadline. The council held budget-planning sessions on March 26, April
23, May 28, June 25, and August 27 to discuss budget priorities and adopted the preliminary 2025 City Levy on September 3, 2024. Additional
budget discussion was held with the Council on September 24, October 22,and November 26 before the public hearing that was held on December
3, 2024. The Council's final action on adopting the 2025 City Budget and 2025 Levy occurred on December 3, 2024. The official adoption of
the 2025 Budget and City Levy will be submitted to Anoka County and the Minnesota Department of Revenue on or before December 30, 2024.
This budget document should be viewed as more than just a collection of financial data, but as the financial plan in which the organization will
implement and accomplish Council policies, as well as meet the articulated needs of the community and residents. In addition to the financial
data contained within, this document includes information on the City organization, describes programs and services, and provides statistical
values measuring activity performance and workloads. Most importantly,this budget reflects the City's plans,policies,procedures and objectives
regarding services to be provided in 2025.
As part of the budget development process, City staff, including department supervisors, performed a comprehensive review of their specific
service needs,prioritized spending requests to achieve the most effective operational delivery of services, and then balanced the allocation of the
City's human and financial resources against those needs. It has been our goal to accomplish this in a fair, impartial and balanced manner that
meets with the approval of Council and the residents we serve.

Mayor, Councilmembers, Residents
2025 Adopted City Budget
GENERAL INFORMATION
The city we know today as Andover was first organized in 1857 under the name "Round Lake Township." However, in 1860 the name was
changed to "Grow Township" in honor of Congressman Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania. Congressman Grow spoke at a political campaign in
Anoka that year, and the town name was changed to reflect Congressman Grow because of his strong advocacy of the Union cause. At that time,
the population was 330 and included the geographical area we know today as Ham Lake. In fact, the area of Ham Lake was considered a part of
Grow Township until 1871.
In 1972, the Grow Township Board of Supervisors recognized that the town was growing at a very rapid rate. They felt a village form of
government would provide better services to the community. Board supervisors then voted in favor of proceeding with the incorporation process.
The board voted to submit a new name for the village. "Andover Village" was chosen because the name Andover had historical interest. The
historical interest, we believe, came from the Andover train station.
You may have heard the popular"train myth" about how Andover received its name. The myth states that a train tipped over in a swamp, and an
eyewitness, relaying the incident, said it "went over and over," thereby naming the city "Andover." However, research reveals that the name
Andover first appeared in an article dated March 14, 1899, in the Anoka County Union Newspaper-before train tracks were ever built in the city.
The article stated that the Eastern Minnesota line of the Great Northern Railway was in the process of constructing railroad tracks from the Coon
Creek Cut-off to the North. The railway announced that new railroad stations with mathematical precision were to be located five miles apart
from each other. The new stations (from Coon Creek to the North, along the new railroad line)were to be named Andover, Cedar, Bethel, Isanti,
Cambridge, Stanchfield, Braham, Grasston, Cornell, and Brook Park. On July 4, 1899, the first train passed through the Andover station. Where
the railway produced the name Andover remains unknown.
Andover Village was established in 1972 and then became the City of Andover, a city of the fourth class, in 1974. Today the City of Andover's
population exceeds 20,000, classifying it as a second-class city.
BUDGET GUIDELINES
The following are City Council's 2025 Budget Development guidelines established by the City Council on March 26, 2024, used by City Staff
while preparing their proposed operating budgets, and presented with a brief description of the outcome of each guideline as part of the budget
process:
4
Mayor, Councilmembers, Residents
2025 Adopted City Budget
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: The Anoka County Assessor estimated taxable market value figures for the City of Andover reflect a 0.4% increase in total taxable
market value for 2025, last year (2024) the increase was 2.93%.
2) A fiscal goal that works toward establishing the General Fund working capital fund balance at no less than 45% of planned 2024 General
Fund expenditures and the preservation of emergency fund balances (snow emergency, public safety, facility management and 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 are recommended by the City's auditor. The 2024 budget development exceeded this guideline for cash flow, also emergency
fund balances(approximately 3%ofplanned General Fund expenditures)are in place to stabilize the situation and not be a complete solution.
The City Council did approve at the November 19t' 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 is 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) development process. 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.
5
Mayor, Councilmembers, Residents
2025 Adopted City Budget
Note: The City continually maintains various financial models to determine the long-term impacts ofpresent-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 reserves 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 Staff Leadership Team convened work sessions with a Facilitator
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,ofAndover Strategic Plan"at the June 20'h,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.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OF THE CURRENT YEAR
Andover was one of the fastest growing cities in terms of population growth in the Twin Cities metropolitan area between 2000 through 2006.
Since 2006, the pace of residential development has slowed and is attributable to regional and national economic factors. The City has taken a
revised outlook on where growth is most likely to occur in contrast to previously determined urban services staging areas. This has required the
City to identify alternate locations for sewer supported growth. In 2024, the City issued 101 new single-family building permits with a total
valuation of $35,137,878 and 5 new commercial building permits with a valuation of $2,400,00 compared to 64 new single-family building
permits with a total valuation of $21,454,268 and 3 new commercial building permits with a valuation of $22,344,000 the prior year. More
detailed information is available on City growth later in this budget message.
Some additional noteworthy events/activities that occurred in 2024 include:

Mayor, Councilmembers, Residents
2025 Adopted City Budget
1) In 2023, the City secured $6.1 million in State funding to extend municipal water into the Red Oaks neighborhood, a neighborhood
where private wells were discovered to be contaminated with the chemical 1,4-dioxane while conducting water sampling near the Waste
Disposal Engineering (WDE) Closed Landfill in Andover. The project was completed ahead of schedule in 2024.
2) New residential Final Plat approvals included a final plat for Legacy at Petersen Farms 2"d Addition providing 8 rural lots. The City
currently has a supply of 119 urban lots and 23 rural lots (which includes the lots above).
3) In 2024, the City saw commercial, industrial and institutional construction throughout the community. Many businesses came to
Andover that did extensive tenant finishes, upgrades or remodels in existing multi-tenant buildings, including as follows: Sandhill
Nursery& Green House, and Mae Dance Company. Power Engineering and Manufacturing (PEM) acquired a recently vacant building
in Andover Station North.
4) In 2024 The City Council approved two new structures on the final lot in Clocktower Commons which will be Starbucks and Chipotle.
Construction started in 2024 and is expected to be completed in mid-2025.
5) In 2024 Transform Church started a parking lot expansion to accommodate their parking needs for service and also events that are
occurring at their location.
6) Andover Crossings, a development project that started construction in 2022 was to provide multifamily housing and almost 5 acres of
additional commercial land for future development. In this development, the City started review of a Circle K/Holiday convenience
store.
7) JA Wedum and SilverCrest received City Council approval to construct a 218-unit residential development with 1.5 acres for a
commercial lot. Construction of the Independent/Assisted Living/Memory Care facility is expected to start spring of 2025.
8) In 2024, Legacy Christian Academy, a K-12 private school, finished the remaining expansion area and also remodeled classroom areas
of the original building.
9) Andover residents continue to have one of the highest recycling rates per person for all recyclable materials in Anoka County. In 2014,
the City added a new Recycling Center to expand the current recycling opportunities for Andover residents. In 2024, the City continued
to host monthly recycling events (on weekends), with a specific focus, such as paper shredding and appliance or electronics collection.

Mayor, Councilmembers, Residents
2025 Adopted City Budget
10)A strategic planning session was held with the City Council on May 25, 2023, and June 8, 2023, the Andover City Council and Staff
Leadership Team convened work sessions with a Facilitator 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.
11)The City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the year ended December 31, 2023, was awarded the Government
Finance Officers Association's "Excellence in Financial Reporting Award." The City completed this document internally and
recognized significant cost savings in the form of reduced financial consulting fees.This is the twenty-second consecutive year receiving
the award and it is anticipated that the City's ACFR for the year ended December 31, 2024, will also achieve this award.
12)For the twenty-third year in a row, the City of Andover was awarded the Government Finance Officers Association Distinguished
Budget Presentation Award for the City's 2024 Annual Budget. This award recognizes excellence in the preparation of the City's budget
document as a policy document, an operations guide, a financial plan, and a communications device.
13)Ongoing implementation of a single-family rental housing license program to provide property owners/landlords with educational
materials and checklists on how to inspect and maintain the exterior of the property, a list of potential ordinance violations that may
occur with a rental property, and an exterior inspection of the building and grounds with city staff. This program was authorized by the
Andover City Council in 2009 and is reviewed annually. There were close to 270 single-family rental licenses issued throughout the
City in 2024.
14)The City continues to make considerable progress on the process of digitally imaging documents retained, this includes standard and
legal documents and large construction plan documents. The imaging project has helped the City reduce staffing through data storage
retrieval efficiencies, eliminated the need for office expansion and has expedited City research projects.
15)The City continues to utilize updates to our financial management software to improve reporting and operating efficiencies. These
updates continue to yield reduced personnel costs and more timely reports. In 2024, the City continues to see increased growth in the
number of online and counter credit card payments for various City permits and services. Approximately 58% of the Building
Department's permits are done online, saving our customers considerable time and travel expenses.

2025 Adopted City Budget
OVERVIEW
The Adopted 2025 Budget anticipates General Fund revenues in the amount of$15,218,547 to meet anticipated budgeted expenditures in the
amount of$15,718,155, thus a decrease in (use of) fund balance is planned. As a result, total General Fund balance reserves are projected to
decrease to 67.09% in 2025 as compared to 72.40% in 2024 in conjunction with corresponding expenditures for those years. The Adopted 2025
General Fund Budget represents an increase in expenditures of$742,542 over last year. Designated capital operating levies increased $750,430
in 2025 bringing the balance to $3,224,868. The 2025 Debt Service Levy ($4,881,034) includes two equipment notes, two abatement bonds,
capital improvement plan bonds and two street reconstruction bonds; and increases the City debt ratio to gross City levy to 23.92% from 21.50%
for the prior year.
The increase in General Fund expenditures is primarily related to public safety and public works. The police and fire increased $409,025 with
the law enforcement contract increasing 5.27% ($197,133) and fire increasing $211,892, both related to salaries and benefit increases to remain
competitive. Public works increased $173,395 compared to the 2024 budget primarily due to salary and benefit increases.
General Fund expenditure trends since 2019 are as follows:
Expenditures Expenditures
Before Transfers Population Per Capita Expenditures Per Capita
% Change $500
2019 Actual $ 11,100,098 n/a 32,208 $ 344.64 $450
2020 Actual $ 11,395,878 2.66% 32,458 $ 351.10 $400
2021 Actual $ 12,091,500 6.10% 32,708 $ 369.68 $350
2022 Actual $ 12,569,831 3.96% 32,822 $ 382.97 $300
2023 Actual $ 13,019,879 3.58% 33,089 $ 393.48 $250
2024 Estimate $ 15,161,118 16.45% 33,321 $ 455.00
2025 Adopted $ 15,718,155 3.67% 33,554 $ 468.44 $200 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025
Note: The population figures were estimates by the Met Council.
The 2025 Adopted Budget provides for an adopted tax capacity rate of 36.280%, which compares to 32.181% for 2024 (this rate comparison
excludes the open space and watershed levies). The 2025 increasing tax capacity rate is reflective of an increase in the adopted tax levy slightly
reduced by the minimal growth in the tax capacity values.

Capital Projects Levy — The 2025 Budget specifically designates $3,184,868 of the general tax levy to capital projects and equipment needs
relating to Capital Outlay ($300,000), Facility Maintenance Reserve ($355,000), Road and Bridge ($2,400,000), Pedestrian Trail Maintenance
($114,868) and Park Projects ($15,000). 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 was calculated based on a detailed analysis of road conditions and the needs of the city street
system; with Capital Outlay, Pedestrian Trail Maintenance and Park Levies changed according to the City Council budget guidelines.
• Road and Bridge—Under the Capital Projects Levy, a total of$2,514,868 is for transportation programming related to maintaining City
streets, roadways and pedestrian trails. Approximately 4.57% ($114,868) of this levy is dedicated towards pedestrian trail maintenance,
the remaining $2,400,000 dedicated to the Street Improvement Program.
• Park Improvements—Under the Capital Projects Levy, $15,000 is designated for miscellaneous park related capital projects that come up
throughout the year. The 2025 levy remains the same as the 2024 levy.
• Capital Equipment/Projects — Under the Capital Projects Levy, $300,000 is designated to underwrite a wide range of capital
improvement/equipment project expenditures. Through the annual levy designation, the City, over time, will be able to build a fund
reserve to avoid cash flow"spikes"and address a wide range of capital improvement needs under a more controlled spending environment.

ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT
Staffing and Staffing Cost Reallocation — No new positions were added in 2025; but consistent with the new 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 employees operate in a strong
organizational culture providing stability, creativity, and excellence in delivery of service.
There are anticipated retirements and staff vacancies within 2025 and the next few years; in response, Administration/Human Resources will
continue to focus on succession planning,utilization of internship opportunities,continued cross-training of staff,and/or realignment of resources.
Cost-of-Living Adjustments—The total compensation package for 2025 includes step changes for eligible employees and a 3.00% cost of living
adjustment. Administration and Human Resources continually review position-based salaries in detail to confirm competitiveness with other
government entities. For a few positions to remain competitive with other governmental entities, various department budgets have market rate
salary adjustments for 2025. The current Public Works Union contract expires December 31, 2025, and provides for a 3.00% COLA for 2025.
Health Insurance Costs—Premiums for health insurance increased 9.50% in 2025. Employer health care contributions are to be maintained at an
employer ratio of 76% of the low-end family coverage and 100% of the single coverage. This will be the 18th year the City will be offering a
high deductible insurance plan with a health savings account (HSA); but in 2020, the City added a health reimbursement arrangement(HRA) to
"buy down"the premium and continues to do so.

FUND BALANCE
The City adopts fund balance goals to meet short and long-term needs. Fund balance goals are established to provide for cash flow needs, capital
purchases, emergency contingencies and other specific needs.
The General Fund is projected to use $499,608 of the fund balance to fund operations in 2025. The work done by staff relative to the 2024 revenue
and expenditure estimates has achieved the Council's 2025 budget guideline that works toward establishing the General Fund fund balance for
working capital at no less than 50% of planned 2025 General Fund expenditures available from the 2024 budget (the targeted fund balance is
approximately $7,859,077). The estimates are also necessary to preserve the following emergency reserve fund balances for core services:
■ Snow Emergency ($I OOK) - salt and sand needed for an abnormal snowfall season
■ Public Safety($1OOK) - police, fire, and civil defense unexpected costs
■ Facility Management($1 OOK) -roofing, HVAC, and emergency facility repairs
■ Information Technology($1OOK) - phone system and network server emergencies
■ Economic Development($150K)—TIF Management Fee Migration
■ Fiscal Disparities Fluctuation($300K)—changes in calculation
In the Special Revenue Funds, the Economic Development Authority (EDA) Fund is projected to decrease $91,766 largely due to the reduced
administration fees for the TIF districts and the continuation of the Home Improvement Program for qualifying residents. Staffing and
expenditures will be migrated over to the General Fund over time. The Community Center is budgeted to decrease$999,127 as major maintenance
projects are starting to accumulate including a partial roof replacement of$1,000,000.
18
Mayor, Councilmembers, Residents
2025 Adopted City Budget
The Debt Service Funds are projected to increase by $1,515,179 in 2025 due to the timing of when levies are collected and when the debt service
payments are made. The increase in fund balance is primarily the 2024A G.O. Street Reconstruction and Equipment bonds.
In the Capital Projects Funds, the Water Trunk and Sewer Trunk Funds are increasing $233,601 and$344,960 respectively as funds are being set
aside for future trunk replacements. The Road and Bridge Fund will decrease by$420,879 in 2025 due to the advancement of street reconstruction
projects to get ahead of the deterioration of roadways. The Park Dedication Projects Fund is decreasing $302,132 as the City continues to make
improvements to the park system with the construction of a new park in the Fields of Winslow Cove development area. The Trail & Sunshine
Park basketball court improvements. Trail and Transportation Fund is decreasing $1,324,025 due to the extension of a trail along Coon Creek
going east to the Shadowbrook development and on the south side of Crosstown Blvd from Xeon St to Prairie Road; and a sidewalk along the
south side of Bunker Lake Blvd from Crosstown Blvd to Yukon St. The Capital Equipment Reserve Fund is decreasing by $384,500 as the City
spends down the 2023 Public Safety Aid funds on fire-related equipment replacements as well as replacements in other departments of the City.
The 2024A G.O. Equipment Certificate is projected to be spent in 2025 ($1,073,807). The Tax Increment Projects Fund is decreasing($117,126)
as new redevelopment/economic strategies take place. 2024A G.O. Street Reconstruction Bonds Fund are planned to be spent down with in the
next two years (2025 —2026).
COMMUNITY VISION & GOALS
While each budget year appears to only be dealing with the task at hand, the City of Andover, in addition to adopting each year's budget
development guidelines, does keep in mind throughout the process the community's slogan, vision statement and short- and long-term
organizational goals that are meant to say who and what the City of Andover is. On May 25, 2023, and June 8, 2023, the Andover City Council

LONG-TERM FISCAL OBJECTIVES
The City Council and staff are committed to expending public resources in the most cost-effective and economical manner possible to ensure the
stability of the City's basic services. Considering past state aid reductions and previous years levy limits imposed by the state legislature and the
current sporadic onset of levy limits, fiscal strategies will need to be constantly monitored to ensure a balanced approach in providing enough
revenues to fund City services as follows:
* Employing a strategy aimed at reducing the City's reliance on the property tax levy to fund basic City services through "sustainable"revenue
sources such as special revenues, user fees and fee-for-service transactions.
✓ The City tax rate will increase in 2025 when applied to the City's growing taxable market values. City services will continue to be
evaluated in terms of identifying all relevant funding sources to underwrite specific service expenditures, promoting alternatives to
traditional funding methodologies, operational efficiencies, and encouraging public-private partnerships in service delivery systems.
* The use of an appropriate cost accounting structure that will lead to the creation of individual cost centers for all City department activities
to accurately reflect the true cost of providing specific services.
✓ The City employs a cost accounting system that is department specific which attempts to accurately reflect service delivery costs at the
department and division levels. By including all supplemental services as they relate to personnel, charges and services, supplies and
capital outlay will further distinguish the total costs of the service provided. The City can analyze these costs at the sub-category detail
levels in support of overall policy goals.
22
Mayor, Councilmembers, Residents
2025 Adopted City Budget
♦ The development of work performance goals for each department to ascertain and measure how each operating division contributes to the
City's overall public service mission.
✓ Each department is responsible for identifying relevant performance data to allow for an independent analysis of specific service
outcomes. Data is reviewed to provide the Council and public with a better understanding of the operational demands, resource inputs
and performance outcomes associated with a specific service delivery system.
♦ The development of long-term financial models that identify anticipated trends in community growth and financial resources, designate
appropriate capital resources to future City needs, tracks per capita spending growth, and establishes a link between fiscal targets and
budgetary expenditure goals.
✓ The City continually maintains various financial models to determine the long-term impacts of present-day expenditure and financing
decisions.Fiscal assumptions are based upon a set of financial data including growth factors, tax capacity valuations,per capita spending
and debt ratios. The financial models are used as part of the budget planning process to ensure that key short-term fiscal targets are in
line with long-term fiscal projections.
♦ The aggressive and appropriate investment of idle City funds to maximize the generation of interest income, while ensuring adequate cash
flow requirements.
✓ Investment of City funds is controlled by state statute and managed by the Finance Department. Idle funds are invested in a variety of
financial instruments such as certificates ofdeposit, municipal bonds,federal agencies and corporate paper and are designed to maximize
municipal investment income. Long-term investing is designed to achieve the best yield in the current market,following a strategy that
secures income streams at a higher rate of return for a longer period of time.
♦ Greater reliance on technology to enhance employee productivity in all areas of City operations and improve customer communications.
✓ The City has taken steps to invest additional time and energy on labor saving technology, such as new software, enhanced programming
and optical imaging paper files. Staff implemented an optical imaging solution that enabled the City to reduce storage areas previously
dedicated to paper files and provide a more economical and efficient data retrieval system. In addition, the City implemented financial
management software to improve reporting and operating efficiencies. Both implementations have allowed the City to reduce staffing due
to the increased efficiencies with each new system.
23
Mayor, Councilmembers, Residents
2025 Adopted City Budget
♦ The adoption of a financial philosophy that seeks to spread the cost of significant capital outlay expenditures over an extended period of time
to ensure that current and future taxpayers share equally in underwriting the cost of significant public expenditures.
✓ The City continues to capitalize the cost of significant capital expenditures over several years to ensure that both existing and future
taxpayers share equally in the cost. In addition, the City has established a separate capital projects levy to underwrite the cost of selected
capital projects and equipment and to avoid a fiscal environment based on reactive tax and spend policies. The five-year Capital
Improvement planning process is critical in achieving these results.
♦ Involving all employees in the process of re-engineering the work environment by encouraging cross-training opportunities, reducing and
eliminating bureaucratic barriers, streamlining public process requirements, and adopting private sector business values in City operations.
✓ City staff are encouraged to identify work practice issues that are inefficient or overly bureaucratic. The management team is committed
to involving their employees and fostering an environment that challenges the status quo of City operations.
♦ Continuously reviewing opportunities to form partnerships with neighboring communities to share services and equipment,jointly purchase
equipment and develop strategies to deal with local issues using a regional approach.
✓ The City has established several equipment and service delivery sharing arrangements with neighboring communities and has several
Joint powers agreements in place on a variety of local and regional issues in public safety, assessment services, telecommunications,
public access television and wastewater service initiatives.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The budget, as presented,reflects Council's direction and staff commitment to achieve a cost-effective,efficient and high-quality service delivery
model. The 2025 Adopted Budget reflects the City's commitment to live within its means and ensure that tax dollars are wisely managed and
expended in as prudent a manner possible to achieve high-quality service outcomes. It is interesting to note that the City of Andover continues
to maintain one of the lower tax rates in Anoka County, as well as within the entire metropolitan area. City spending per capita continues to rank
in the bottom half when compared to similar cities.

2025 Adopted City Budget
Budgetary Process
Guiding the City budget process were Council policy guidelines that were described earlier in this message. The budget process was approached
by employing strategies associated with extending the useful life of existing equipment; the utilization of cost center accounting that allows for
a better understanding of specific service expenditures; actively seeking equipment sharing opportunities with both private and public entities;
spreading the cost of significant capital expenditures over several years; and purchasing new equipment and introducing new technologies that
allow staff to work more efficiently and effectively. In addition, the prudent management of existing capital, financial and human resources by
City staff, along with organizational practices that promote employee involvement, innovation and interdepartmental communications will
generate substantial efficiencies in City operations.
The budget process included the opportunity for all department heads and supervisors to actively participate.Decisions concerning the operational
and maintenance needs of the organization were made by the management team after a thorough review and prioritization of budgetary requests.
The integrity of the budget process relies upon all departments to work within the same framework in developing a budget that accurately
identifies operational needs, promotes informed team review of budgetary requirements, and meets the core service needs of the requesting
department.
To meet these growing challenges, the City must continually evaluate new ways and methods of conducting business in a more economical,
competitive and cost-effective manner, while keeping the quality of City services high and meeting the reasonable service expectations of the
community.
The budget process incorporates a management vision supported through:
• increased utilization, understanding and promotion of technology in the delivery of public services;
• emphasis on long-term strategic planning to appropriately identify, allocate and effectively utilize resources to meet future service needs;
• greater participation, accountability and flexibility in the work force that will allow for the development of innovative responses to the
increased demand for cost-effective services;
• the need to focus on developing an alternate framework of special revenues and user fees as alternate funding mechanisms to gradually reduce
the City's reliance on tax levies by recovering service costs from the appropriate users of the service;
• the recognition that the City should work to assist the community in meeting challenges as a partner and not as the sole provider; and
25
Mayor, Councilmembers, Residents
2025 Adopted City Budget
• a strong voice in the legislature to ensure that City issues are clearly understood and fairly addressed. Cities must take a unified approach in
dealing with legislative initiatives that may negatively affect local governance to minimize misunderstandings and encourage communication
to facilitate common ground issues that build confidence in local government services and inspires a partnership of collaboration and
innovation across all levels of government.
The 2025 Adopted Budget is the product of the collective efforts of the management team and their respective staff. They have worked diligently
to ensure that the residents of Andover receive the highest level of service for their tax dollars. Special recognition is appropriate with respect to
the involvement of Lee Brezinka, Finance Manager and Finance staff in generating reliable financial data in which a sound and valid budget
document was produced.
The entire management team should be recognized for their diligent efforts in preparing a budget that meets the needs of this growing community
yet recognizes the limited nature of financial resources.
The City Council should be recognized for their frugal use of municipal resources and continual efforts to provide needed services to the residents
they represent and serve. I am appreciative of the commitment, good judgment and expertise that each member of the Council has contributed to
the budget process.
Respectfully submitted,
Sarah Cotton

Budget Development Process
The Budget Process
Andover City ordinance 216, Section 2., Major Areas of Accountability requires the City Administrator to submit an annual budget to the City Council,which
accurately reflects the financial needs of the City organization.Additionally, state law requires that the City Council approve a preliminary budget and certify
a proposed levy to the Anoka County Property Records and Taxation Division by September 30t"
Beginning in levy year 2002, the State of Minnesota is allowing certain governmental units exemption from the public hearing and publication requirement
if its total proposed property tax levy does not exceed its previous year final property tax levy by more than the percentage increase in the implicit price
deflator. The City of Andover did not fall under this exemption and held a meeting pertaining to the 2025 Proposed Operating Budget and Proposed Tax
Levy on Tuesday, September 3, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. The date was advertised in the September City Newsletter, on public
TV, and in the local paper. Final City Council action adopting the City Budget and Property Tax Levy occurred on December 3, 2024. The adopted 2025
City Levy was also submitted to Anoka County and the Minnesota Department of Revenue by December 30, 2024.
The budget is prepared on an annual basis, and follows the calendar year, January 1 st to December 31st.
Policies are set by the City Council in one of two ways:
1) Policies are initiated by actions of the City Council at its regular council meetings through adoption of ordinances, resolutions, or motions.
2) Policies are also initiated, studied, and reviewed at special work sessions called for that purpose.
The City Administrator and City staff address the Council's concerns in the preparation of the budget and evaluate the financial costs of the implementation
of these policies and include them in the budget where economically feasible.
In summary, policy issues are identified by the City Council, evaluated, and costed out by the Administrator and management team, and returned to Council
for appropriations if necessary. If no appropriation is necessary, the new policy is implemented as soon as practical by the Administrator.
Each activity manager is given a monthly financial report of expenditures compared to the adopted budget. Expenditures related to City activities may not
exceed appropriations without approval of the City Council.

Budgeting for City Operations
The City is required to account for revenues and expenditures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because fund accounting is
required for financial reporting, the appropriation budgets are organized and presented in like manner. The summary information section presents a
summary of revenues and expenditures of each fund. A brief description of each fund type can be found at the beginning of each section.
Basis of Accounting and Budgeting
The financial reporting and budgeting systems of the City are organized on a fund basis. A fund is a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set
of accounts. All funds in the budget were prepared using the following basis of accounting, which is consistent with the accounting methods used for
financial reporting.
Government Funds: All governmental funds are maintained on a modified accrual basis with revenues recognized in the accounting period in which they
become available and measurable. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, except for principal and
interest payments on long-term debt and capital expenditures which are recognized as expenditures when due. Governmental funds include the General
Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, and Capital Projects Funds. The City of Andover adopts a budget for every governmental fund.
Proprietary Funds: Proprietary funds are maintained on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned
and expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. For accounting purposes, the payment of principal on long-term debt and the
purchase of capital assets is reflected on the balance sheet as it is reflecting bonds payable and capital assets with an outflow of cash. Interest on long-
term debt in these funds is reflected in the expenses for the period that the payments are covering. Capital items are depreciated over their useful life with
the depreciation amounts included in the expenses. For budgeting purposes, the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt and the purchase of
capital assets in the proprietary funds is reflected in the budgeted expenses as an outflow of resources to assist in the analysis of these funds when
analyzing rate structures. Proprietary funds include Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds. The City of Andover currently has three enterprise funds
and two internal service funds.
The City of Andover has adopted the following accounting, auditing and financial reporting policy:
Accounting, Auditing and Financial Reporting Policy
1. The City of Andover will establish and maintain a high standard of accounting practices. Accounting standards will conform to Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP)as outlined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
2. At the end of each fiscal year, a Certified Public Accounting firm that will include issuing a financial opinion will conduct an audit of the City records
and a management and compliance report on internal controls.
3. The City of Andover will maintain a strong internal audit function.
4. The City will maintain a fixed asset system to identify and protect all City assets.
5. The Finance Department will prepare monthly financial reports for internal management purposes.
33
6. The City Council delegates the authority to assign fund balance, as required for prudent fiscal management, to the City Administrator and Finance
Director. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to first use restricted resources, and then use
unrestricted resources as they are needed. When unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use resources in the following
order: 1) committed, 2) assigned, 3) unassigned.
7. Annually, the Finance Department will prepare a comprehensive annual financial report. This report shall be made available to the elected officials,
city management, bond-rating agencies, and the general public.
8. The City will annually submit its comprehensive annual financial report to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) to determine its
eligibility to receive the GFOA's Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.
Budget Monitoring and Amendments
The Andover Financial Policies identifies an Operating Budget Policy which includes the process for monitoring and amending the budget, fund balance
considerations and the capital improvement budget coordination, that policy is as follows:
Operating Budget Policy
1. The formal budgeting process provides the primary mechanism by which key decisions are made regarding the levels and types of services to be
provided, given the anticipated level of available resources.
A. The City will attempt to maintain its present service level for priority and essential services subject to available revenues. New services will
be considered for funding within available resources.
B. The City of Andover will utilize a "bottom-up" resource allocation approach. Each department will have an opportunity to request personnel,
goods, capital items and services needed to carry out its responsibilities in a timely manner.
C. The resources to fund the budget will include all revenues reasonably anticipated from all sources and the unrestricted unassigned fund
balance estimate to be carried forward at the beginning of the fiscal year.
D. The City enterprise operations are to be self-supporting, including capital improvements and depreciation. Enterprise operations are to be
reviewed annually for self-sufficiency.
E. The City will utilize procedures that allow departments to integrate priorities and objectives into the budget requests.
2. The operating budget, authorizing expenditure of City monies, will be adopted annually by the City Council at the department level. Expenditures
may not exceed the total for any department, within a fund, without the City Council's approval. The authority to make changes to the adopted
City Budget during the operating year is as follows:
A. City Council approval is required for all budget adjustments or transfers that will increase the department's adopted expenditure budget, or
adjustments that are made to facilitate a department restructuring.
34
B. City Council approval is required for any budget adjustment that exceeds either$10,000 or 5% of a department's expenditure budget, except
that adjustments under$10,000 may be approved as provided in C. & D. below.
C. City Administrator's, or their designee when unavailable, approval is required for all budget adjustments or transfers made to personal
services or capital outlay under$10,000 on a one-time basis.
D. Budget adjustments and transfers among expenditure accounts may be authorized during the fiscal year by the City Administrator and the
Finance Director if there is no effect on the department's gross expenditure budget and the adjustment is not to employee compensation.
E. Under no circumstances should budget adjustments be split to avoid approval limits.
3. The City will budget to maintain fund balances at adequate levels to ensure that sufficient resources are available for current and future
expenditures, whether planned or unforeseen.
A. The City will budget to maintain an unassigned fund balance for each operating fund, to support operations until current tax revenues are
received. Based upon the semi-annual collection of local taxes, each operating fund, relying on property tax related revenues,should maintain
an unassigned fund balance at year-end necessary for approximately 6 months of the subsequent year's operation.
B. The City will budget to maintain an unassigned fund balance available for contingencies of between 1 percent and 3 percent of budgeted
expenditures for each operating fund in order to finance unforeseen items and events that occur during the course of the year. It is not
necessary for each fund to hold its own contingency. The General Fund may hold contingencies for other funds when appropriate.
C. All unencumbered appropriations and encumbered purchases less than $1,000 lapse at year-end. However, the appropriation authority for
all major capital projects and capital assets carries forward automatically to the subsequent year. Appropriations for encumbered purchases
in excess of $1,000, which are not budgeted in the ensuing year, may be transferred to the subsequent year with the approval of the City
Administrator and Finance Director. The current year appropriation is reduced and the subsequent year appropriation is increased.
4. The City will maintain a budgetary control system to ensure adherence to the budget and will prepare regular reports, which compare actual
revenues, and expenditures to budgeted amounts.
5. The City will coordinate development of the Capital Improvement Budget with the development of the annual operating budget. Each capital
improvement project is reviewed for its impact on the operating budget in terms of revenue generation, additional personnel required and additional
operating expenses.
6. The capitalization threshold for assets of the City of Andover, as defined in the Fixed Asset Policy, applies to all budgets and purchases associated
with the Capital Expenditure series of accounts.
7. Annually, the Finance Department will prepare an Annual Operating Budget report. This report will be made available to elected officials, City
management, bond-rating agencies, and general public.
8. The City will annually submit its annual operating budget document to the GFOA to determine its eligibility to receive the GFOA's Distinguished
Budget Presentation Award.
35
Determination o f Revenue Estimates
The Finance Department is responsible for compiling all revenue estimates contained in the budget. Estimates are arrived by studying relevant revenue
history along with economic trends and indices when available. Discussion regarding specific revenue sources can be found in the summary information
section of the budget. The Andover Financial Policies identifies a Revenue Policy that outlines the City's revenue philosophy and that policy is as follows:
Revenue Policy
1. The City will attempt to maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to shelter it from short-run fluctuations in any single revenue source. The
revenue mix should combine elastic and inelastic revenue sources to minimize the effect of economic downturns.
2. The City will follow an aggressive policy of collecting revenues.
3. The City will periodically review fees and charges in order to keep pace with the cost of providing the service or that percentage of the total cost
deemed appropriate by the City, and will conduct a public hearing or adopt an ordinance, as required by law, prior to setting fees or charges.
4. The City will consider market rates and charges levied by other public and private organizations for similar services in establishing tax fees and
charges.
5. The City will allocate Citywide revenues to funds, which provide services to the entire City.
6. All revenues, reasonably expected to be unexpended and unencumbered at the end of the year, will be anticipated as "available fund balance" in
the budget of the following year.
7. The City will attempt to invest all cash holdings in accordance with the cash and investment policy and maximize those holdings with an effective
payment policy.
Capital Improvement Program
Andover's Capital Improvement Program is intended to provide the City Council and staff with a process for identifying and prioritizing capital projects in
order to coordinate the financing and timing of improvements, which maximizes the return to the public. The process will enable the City to evaluate long-
term cost and benefits of projects being adopted for the coming year (2025) against those projects planned between 2026 and 2029. The Capital
Improvement Program follows the following policy:
Capital Improvement Policy
1. A Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) will be developed for a period of five years. As resources are available, the most current year of the CIP will
be incorporated into the current year operating budget as the Capital Improvements Budget(CIB). The CIP will be reviewed and updated annually.
Years two through five are for planning purposes only.
2. The City will maintain its physical assets in a manner, adequate to protect the City's capital investment and to minimize future maintenance and
replacement costs. The City will provide for maintenance and replacement from current revenues where possible.
36
3. To be considered in the Capital Improvements Program, a project must have an estimated cost of at least $5,000 in one of the calendar years of
the project. Projects may not be combined to meet the minimum standard unless they are dependent upon each other. Items that are operating
expense (such as maintenance agreements, personal computer software upgrades, etc.)will not be considered within the CIP.
4. Capital projects, which duplicate other public and/or private service, will not be considered.
5. The City will identify the estimated costs and potential funding sources for each capital project prior to inclusion in the CIP. The operating costs to
maintain capital projects shall be considered prior to the decision to undertake the capital projects.
6. Capital projects and/or capital asset purchases will receive a higher priority if they meet a majority of the following criteria:
A. Mandatory project
B. Maintenance project(approved replacement schedules)
C. Improve efficiency
D. Provide a new service
E. Policy area project
F. Broad extent of usage
G. Length of expected useful life
H. Positive effect on operation and maintenance costs
I. Availability of county/state/federal grants
J. Elimination of hazards (improves public safety)
K. Prior commitments
L. Replacement due to disaster or loss
7. The CIP is to be presented by the City Administrator and Management Team annually to the City Council for approval. Any substantive change
to the Cl P after approval must be approved by the City Council.
Debt Administration
The City of Andover has adopted the following Debt Policy:
1. The following Debt Policy should be used to provide guidelines for debt decisions. There are no absolute rules or formulas in determining the
level of City debt. Each situation requires a thorough review of the City's debt position, financial health and economic forecast. The limitations of
this policy refer to City of Andover debt only(excludes EDA and HRA).
2. The City will maintain good communications with bond rating agencies and will try to improve or maintain its current AA+ bond rating so that the
City's borrowing costs are minimized and access to credit is preserved.
3. The City will not use short-term borrowing to finance operating needs except in the case of an extreme financial emergency beyond the City's
control or reasonable ability to forecast.
4. The City may use long-term debt financing when all of the following conditions exist:
37
A. When non-recurring capital improvements are desired, and
B. When it can be determined that present and future citizens will receive a benefit from the improvement, and
C. When the cost benefit of the improvement, including interest cost, is positive.
5. The issuance of long-term debt is limited to capital improvements or projects that cannot be financed from current revenues or resources. For
purposes of this policy, current resources are defined as that portion of fund balance in excess of appropriate required reserves and designations.
The City of Andover will not pledge indebtedness to outside agency financing, unless the benefit is for City of Andover residents.
6. The City of Andover will limit the amount of total net general obligation debt to no more than 3% of the estimated market value. (Minnesota
Statutes limit on debt is 3% of the estimated market value).
7. The payback period of the bonds or notes will not exceed the estimated useful life of the capital asset constructed or purchased.
8. The City will conservatively project the revenue sources utilized to repay the debt(i.e., taxes for G.O. debt are levied at 105% of the required debt
service).
9. Capital notes and leases may be used to finance equipment purchases anytime the total cost of the purchase exceeds $10,000, the useful life of
the equipment is greater than five years, the financing rate is less than or equal to the current and projected investment rates, or the purchase is
of a non-recurring nature (copy machines and information technology equipment).
10. The City will follow a policy of full disclosure on every Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and official statement.

Awards
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to the City
of Andover for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024. This is the twenty-third consecutive time the City of Andover has received
this award.
In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations
guide, as a financial plan, and as a communications device.
This award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it
to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.

Property Tax Charges for Services
General Property Taxes
Property taxes are a revenue source in the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects Funds. This revenue source is primarily used in the
General Fund and is based on the availability of other revenue sources and the expenditure level necessary to conduct City business in accordance with Council
policy and directives. The original goal for the 2025 budget for property taxes was a commitment to maintain the City Tax Rate in a manner consistent with the
needs of the organization to ensure the long-term competitiveness, efficiency, staffing and capital requirements. The Council, by recognizing the impact of increasing
market values and acknowledging community economic concerns, were able to establish an appropriate baseline of city services and a manageable debt service
expense level. The general property tax revenue does increase 12.75% as compared to 2024. 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 General Fund relies heavily on property
taxes and as the City gets closer to full buildout it's expected the future additions to the tax base will help offset increases needed to operate the City. Development
will be steady with the current availability of land.
Charges for Services
Charges for services comes from a variety of sources in the General and Special Revenue Funds; such as project engineering and inspection services to residential
and commercial developers, drainage and mapping services, ice, turf and field house rentals, plat reviews and other miscellaneous charges for dedicated use of city
staff. Over the past few years, the City has continued to grow and this is expected to continue in 2025 and beyond. In the Enterprise Funds, charges for services
come from water and sewer usage charges and a storm water utility charge. The water charges are determined by a water rate study, the sewer charges by a sewer
rate study and the storm water utility charges are based on the amount of funding needed to comply with federal storm water requirements, each are reviewed
annually to cover all expenses. In the Internal Services Fund, the charges for services represent department charges for the maintenance of city equipment and
cost of commercial and workers comp insurance coverage. The largest increase is in the Enterprise Funds as the costs of providing these utilities continue to rise.

Tax Increments Intergovernmental Revenue
Tax Increments
Tax Increments are a revenue source in the Capital Projects Funds. Tax increment is used to pay for debt service on tax increment bond issues and expenses
related to economic development and redevelopment within tax increment development districts. Annually, an extensive analysis is done reviewing the debt service
requirements and the redevelopment projects contemplated in the capital improvement plan. Of the two remaining tax increment districts, one has a pay-as-you-go
note associated with it and the other is reimbursing the district for expenditures already made that decertified in 2024. Looking forward, the City will create tax
increment districts only when a significant project meeting a required "but/for"test is deemed to achieve City goals.
Intergovernmental
This revenue source is present in the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects Funds. The intergovernmental represents the remaining state
aid distributions of State Highway aid and State Police and Fire aid. This revenue source also represents grants applied for and awarded from other government
agencies (federal, state, school, or county) such as Community Development Block Grants and DNR grants. In 2020, the City was able to get an advance on
Municipal State Aid (MSA) construction allotment funds for projects already in progress. Any unused MSA allotment is carried over and drawn upon as eligible
projects are constructed in 2021. Also in 2020, the City received $2,465,736 from the CARES Act and is expecting to spend the ARP Act funds ($3.5mil) in 2022,
2023 and 2024. 2024 also includes$6,100,000 for a water main installation in the Red Oaks Manor development area as identified by the MPCA and funded by the
State of Minnesota. Generally, intergovernmental revenue is dependent on the State and/or Federal government providing one-time money, it's rare to see new
consistent revenue sources in this category.

�^°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°^Investment Income Special Assessments
Investment Income
This revenue source is in all funds. Investment income is interest earned on investments and is allocated to funds based on average cash balances within each
fund. Revenues from this source are dependent on interest rates and cash balances available for investment. In 2021 and 2022, the City reported an overall loss
of$89,313 and $1,425,523 respectfully, which was primarily due to lower interest rates and a change in market value reported for yearend purposes. In 2023, the
market rebounded, and interest rates remained higher than the previous two years. These swings are normal but can be more pronounced during periods of
significant changes to interest rates.
Special Assessments
Special assessments are a revenue source in the Debt Service and Capital Projects Funds. Special Assessments are used for the payment of bonds for related
capital projects and for reimbursing the City's Capital Projects Funds for projects financed internally. The 2025 budget is based on special assessment payment
schedules and a review of residential development within the City of Andover. Special Assessment revenue fluctuates based on the type and cost of street
reconstruction projects being assessable to benefiting properties and the timing of when those assessments are paid. It also depends on whether residential
development is done as a developer-installed project(developer is paying all the expenses)or as a city-installed project(the city is funding the project through bonds
or the PIR fund and assessing costs back to the property). In late 2021, the City issued street reconstruction bonds for projects in 2022 and 2023; a portion of those
projects will be assessed to benefiting properties. In late 2024, the City issued street reconstruction bonds again for projects in 2025 and 2026; a portion of those
projects will be assessed to benefiting properties as well.

Conclusion:
The above analysis reflects a conservative view of current City revenues sources and the Department Heads estimated costs to carry on current levels of
services into the projected years. Staff will monitor and make recommendations as the various years come up for funding. Currently, the General Fund has
had reserves to handle any deficits, but efforts are always made to avoid using these reserves.
This five year analysis demostrates that revenues will ultimately keep up with expenditures for the General Fund. This is done by utilizing the current revenue
streams through modest rate increases, by diversifying the current revenues with additional fees or charges for services, and other items including market
value growth as development continues to pick up,the final debt service payment for state aid bonds increasing the amount of state aid money available for
construction and maintenance of roadways, capturing debt service expense margins for operations, and the continual frugile management of Department
Heads budget implementation directives and expectations.
Other issues that impact the City's budget are some rising employee benefit costs and the sheriffs contract. Health insurance premiums were originally
projected to go up 15.0% in 2025; but with better experience the second half of year and some marketing, it was reduced to a 9.5% increase. The sheriff's
contract,which represents$3.94m of the total budget in 2025, is reflecting a 5.27%increase.

The pavement striping for City streets is conducted one time per year. This includes centerline striping and shoulder striping. Striping enhances the safety of the roadway by
directing traffic to the correct lane movement.
The Federal Highway Administration is currently reviewing reflective standards for pavement markings. In the near future,the City may have to stripe twice per year to meet
new standards. If this is approved,it will double the cost of pavement markings per year.

The Street Reconstruction projects consist of milling the existing street surface and constructing a new asphalt surface. In developments that have existing bituminous curb or
no curb or ditch,concrete curb and gutter will be constructed. Storm sewer and drainage improvements will be incorporated as necessary.25%of the total project costs are
assessed to the benefiting properties in each development. This program helps to maintain the integrity and value of the community's street infrastructure.
The timing of reconstruction of developments more than two years out may be revised as street conditions and ratings are reviewed on an annual basis. Additional
developments may be added to the schedule or projects moved up if it is advantageous to reconstruct them in conjunction with other nearby projects.Areas to be
reconstructed are listed below.
