HomeMy WebLinkAbout2026-0102 Jan-FebVolume 29, Issue 1 January/February 2026 ANDOVER TODAYNEWSLETTER Required by state law, the Andover City Council adopted the 2026 Annual Budget and Certified Property Tax Levy at its December 2, 2025, regular meeting, meeting the December 29th deadline. The City of Andover’s 2026 Budget and Levy certification is the result of dedicated workshops with the Council and various staff meetings to ensure a fiscally responsible plan for the upcoming year. The adopted 2026 Budget details total revenues of $53,544,022 and total expenditures of $61,414,478. The resulting $7,870,456 in excess expenditures is primarily attributed to capital projects that are funded by revenues collected in previous years but are budgeted for spending in 2026. This strategy allows the City to undertake large, vital improvements without relying solely on current year taxes. These major capital projects include significant investments in street reconstruction ($4,518,071), trail projects ($1,423,100), and the sewer trunk extension ($2,359,295), along with other offsetting increases and decreases across various funds. The 2026 Property Tax Levy is set to increase the City’s gross tax levy by 4.15%. That levy will be applied to the City’s growing tax base, which is projected to result in a 2.21% decrease in the current City tax rate for taxpayers. The focus of the 2026 Budget and Levy is to address inflationary items, fund essential capital replacements, provide a significant infusion of funds into the street improvement program, and address staff retention to maintain high-quality city services. This article contains the City of Andover 2026 Budget in summary form, a property tax rate comparison, and various charts and graphs. For further information on the City of Andover 2026 Budget, please view the complete details on the City website at www.andovermn.gov or call the City Administrator, Sarah Cotton, at (763) 767-5110.

CITY OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED • Thursday, January 1st • Monday, January 19th • Monday, February 16th CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT Sarah Cotton As your City Administrator, I am excited to look ahead to 2026 and am pleased to share a brief update on four distinct, yet important, initiatives happening within our City. These items touch on everything from celebrating our community’s beauty to enhancing public safety and ensuring efficient local services. 2026 Budget and Tax Levy Overview I want to thank the City Council and staff for their hard work in finalizing our 2026 Budget and Certified Property Tax Levy, which was adopted on December 2, 2025. This budget prioritizes capital replacements and includes a significant infusion of funds into the street improvement program. While the gross tax levy increased, our growing tax base allows us to reflect a 2.21% decrease in the City’s tax rate this year. Get Ready! Our Community Photo Contest Launches January 1st It’s time to celebrate the unique character and beauty of our city! We are excited to announce the launch of a Community Photo Contest. This is a wonderful opportunity for residents of all ages to share their favorite images. The contest will officially kick off on January 1, 2026, and will run for two months. Get your cameras ready and consider capturing images around these themes: Nature & Landscape, People & Parks, and Architecture & City Life.All rules and submission details will be available when the contest opens on the dedicated webpage. Visit www.andovermn. gov/photo to learn more. Enhancing Service: New Full-Service Animal Control with CACC The City is making a crucial transition to ensure continuous, high-quality animal control and welfare services. Due to the Animal Humane Society (AHS) ceasing impound housing services, the City has approved an agreement with Companion Animal Care & Control (CACC). This transition provides a significant upgrade to Full-Service Animal Control and Impound Housing Services, effective January 1, 2026. Key features of the new service include:• 24/7 Field Response: CACC’s trained team will now handle all aspects of animal pickup and transport, which relieves the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office of this duty. • Impound Facility: Impounded animals will be housed at CACC’s new dedicated facility, The Companion Animal Center in Oakdale, MN. • To Report an Animal: For all animal control requests (strays, injured/sick, or aggressive animals), please call 911 and specify that the situation is NOT an emergency. This ensures the call is routed efficiently through the dispatch system to CACC.• Owner Responsibility: Impound, boarding, and care fees for reclaimed animals are the responsibility of the owner, paid directly to CACC at the time of reclaim. In addition, the City will seek owner restitution for any applicable service fees paid by the City. For a complete FAQ, including facility hours, detailed fee information and information on lost/found animals, please visit the Animal Control page on the City’s website at www. andovermn.gov. Public Safety Initiative: Naloxone Access Point Now Available at City Hall The health and safety of our residents is a top priority. We are proud to partner with the Anoka County Opioid Solutions Initiative (ACOSI) and the Steve Rummer HOPE Network to establish a Naloxone Access Point right here within City Hall. Naloxone (often known by the brand name Narcan) is a critical, life-saving medication that can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose. This free, nonjudgmental access point is a key step in increasing accessibility across the county. • Location: Andover City Hall at 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, accessible during regular operating hours. • Kits: Provided free of charge, each kit contains both nasal and intramuscular naloxone, plus fentanyl testing strips. We encourage all residents to be aware of this vital, free public health resource. As we move into the heart of winter, I encourage everyone to enjoy our wonderful community amenities, including the many maintained ice skating rinks and sliding hills located throughout the City. Please remember to stay safe, and thank you for your continued engagement.

The new reservable shelter at Pine Hills North Park is complete and will be open for reservations in Spring 2026. Read on for details and updates on playground safety and new trails. Many of these projects start as ideas brought to the Park & Recreation Commission. The Park & Recreation Commission meets once or twice a month to discuss park and trail improvements, new additions, and replacement needs. If you have suggestions, we encourage you to attend and share your ideas directly. Schedules and agendas can be found on the City of Andover website www.andovermn.gov. A large addition to the park system is a reservable shelter at Pine Hills North Park. The shelter is complete and will be available for reservations starting in Spring of 2026. This shelter has a covered seating area, indoor bathrooms, and a small room with a service window and sink. It is a perfect spot for birthday parties or graduation parties. Look for more details about reservations on our website soon and social media. Another addition to our trail system will be the construction of a trail along Coon Creek off Prairie Road NW. The trail will run east from Prairie Road NW, parallel to Coon Creek, connecting to multiple local neighborhoods. A new bridge at the eastern end will provide a crucial connection across Coon Creek to the Shadowbrook Neighborhood. Plans for this project are nearly complete, and the bridge has been ordered. We hope to see the project completed by the end of 2026. This important trail project was made possible by the City being awarded the MN DNR Local Trail Connection Grant. Each year, Parks Department staff inspect and maintain forty-four playgrounds in the various city parks to ensure they are safe for users. A large portion of this maintenance is ensuring that these structures are replaced on a timely basis per industry standards to ensure the safety of all users of the playgrounds. Even though equipment may look good from a distance, it is the things we cannot see that can cause the biggest safety concerns. Parts rust from the inside and can make welds and joints weak, leading to failure and potential injuries. For this reason, we inspect every piece of all our playgrounds twice a year and try to stay to a consistent replacement schedule based on age and inspection findings. Replacing playground equipment is an expensive endeavor and prices continue to rise. Because of this, staff has taken advantage of grant programs offered by the manufacturer. This has been a great program and has allowed us to better replace our playgrounds within budget, without having to downsize due to the drastic cost increases. The only drawback is that funding is limited and runs out quickly, and there are only a limited selection of qualifying equipment. Because of this, the Park & Recreation Commission and staff must act immediately when the program opens to secure funds for our parks. For the 2026 playground replacements, staff obtained $102,585.89 in grant funding which goes a long way in providing great play structures in these parks. For further information regarding the Andover parks, free park maps are available at City Hall, or visit the City of Andover’s website at www.andovermn.gov. If you are interested in one of the County parks, you can stop by the Bunker Hills Activity Center on Bunker Lake Boulevard NW or visit the Anoka County website at www.anokacountyparks.com. COMMUNITY GARDEN 2026 The sign-up for this coming year (2026) starts Monday, January 5th. This will allow Andover residents only to come into the City Hall and fill out the application and pay the required fee. Two plots per address can be purchased at this time. The applications are also available on the City of Andover’s website at www.andovermn.gov. The fee for each plot is $50 which goes towards the maintenance costs of the site. Guidelines and Rules will be enforced to help with a successful gardening experience. They can be found on the City of Andover website www.andovermn.gov/396/Community-Garden-Plots. Note: Please observe the start date of Monday, January 5, 2026. ADOPT-A-PARK PROGRAMS The Adopt-a-Park Program is a great community service activity that gives the citizens of Andover the opportunity to participate in helping to keep the parks clean and looking good. Individuals or community groups that adopt a park are responsible for picking up litter twice a year, spring and fall. So, if your group, organization, family or you are interested in doing something to make the community a better place to live, work and play, consider Adopting-a-Park. Please contact the Public Works Administrative Assistant at (763) 767- 5175 or d.lenzmeier@andovermn.gov for more information. Pine Hills North Park Shelter AndoverToday Page 5 WINTER REMINDERS Snowplowing – Snow plowing operations will start as close to the end of the snowstorm as possible. Most plowing operations start between midnight and 4:00 a.m. due to the reduced traffic on the roadways. This makes operations much safer and allows crews to clear the streets as effectively and quickly as possible. During periods of heavy snow during the day, attempts are made to plow main routes to keep them open, then come back overnight to do a full plow. Not every snow event will justify plowing of the cul-de-sacs as well, such as snowfalls under two inches. In the events of back-to-back snow events, cul-de-sacs might not be plowed until after the completion of the multiple events. Garbage Cans - DO NOT place garbage cans in the street. Garbage cans need to stay in the driveway to avoid plows having to go around them leaving a windrow of snow in the street. Parking On Streets – We saw an increased number of cars parked on City Streets already this season which creates a safety issue for plows and for motorists. REMINDER- Ordinance No. 218 – It shall be unlawful for any person to park on any City street or right-of-way or on the traveled portion of the road or to obstruct the flow of traffic, unless for an emergency between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., November 1st to April 15th, except as provided by this ordinance. It is also unlawful to park on any City street after a 2 inch or more snowfall until such time the snow has been plowed from said street. Anoka County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for enforcement of parking regulations, and staff have been requesting tickets for repeat offenders and immediate safety concerns. Road Salt and Pretreatment of Streets - Treated salt is rock salt that has been treated in a liquid additive to enhance the performance of the salt. Using treated salt has many benefits. It lowers the effective melting temperature, the dark green color not only absorbs more heat from the sun but it allows the plow operators to see what they are spreading on the street, and the additives lower the corrosivity. Most importantly, it reduces the amount of salt needed each time we plow. The moisture in it helps keep it in place on the roadway, and it starts actively melting ice as soon as it is put down. Using treated salt can reduce salt applied by 20 to 30 percent. You might also see Public Works Staff spraying a brine solution on some of the streets and parking lots prior to a storm. This helps prevent the snow and ice from bonding to the road surface, allowing it to be plowed off easier and without nearly as much salt needed to keep the roadways safe. Both these practices of pre-treatment and using treated salt are identified as Best Management Practices to reduce salt usage by the MPCA. The City of Andover is committed to the responsible use of road salt while keeping the streets safe. Pushing Back Snowbanks - Crews will often need to push back the snowbanks to make room for future snowfalls. If the banks are not pushed back, they get so high that the plow cannot get the snow off the streets. It simply falls back into the street off the end of the plows, making the street narrower and trapping water on the roadway as the snow melts. Making more room for snow in the boulevard also keeps some of the snow from ending up in your driveway. Your understanding with this is greatly appreciated. This allows us to keep the streets clear and safe. At times, snow will be pushed through the yard stakes. Stakes are not intended to prevent snow from being pushed into the right of way. They are intended to help establish where edge of the street is during the early snow events before the ground is frozen. We see this most often in the cul-de-sacs. Snow needs to be removed from the street and pushed into the right of way around the cul-de-sac. We do our best to evenly distribute the snow, but it is not always feasible with limited open space in some cul-de-sacs. Mailboxes – Mailboxes need to be sturdy enough to withstand the weight of heavy snow being pushed off the road against them. We see many older mailboxes knocked down through the winter simply from the snow being plowed off the roadway. • The base of the box should be 48-50” above street level. • The post should be 20” back from the curb. The face of the mailbox should line up with the curb.• The snowplow wing needs the 48” height clearance to avoid hitting the box and the 20” from the curb to clear the post. The City does NOT assume liability for mailboxes damaged during plowing operations, unless it is determined the plow made direct contact with a mailbox that is properly installed using the standard 4 x 4 post and metal box requirements. • Decorative mailboxes that are not within the requirements will not be replaced if damaged.• The mailbox should be secured to the base and post and the post securely in the ground, no rotting wood. • There should not be any plastic newspaper tubes or attachments to the mailbox below the 44” minimum height requirement. Paper boxes that do not meet minimum height requirements will not be replaced if damaged from the snowplow contacting them. We see this the most with the cedar boxes, as they age, they fall apart very easily. You can find the Mailbox Placement Diagram on the City’s website at www.andovermn.gov. If you believe your mailbox has received damage from contact with the plow, please report it to on the Report a Problem page on the City’s website, or contact Parks & Streets Operations Manager, j.baumunk@andovermn.gov (763) -767-5178, or Chris Olson, Street Maintenance Leadman, c.olson@andovermn.gov (763) 767-5170. General Heating Safety Tips • Keep flammable items at least 3 feet away from fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators, and space heaters. • Never use an oven to heat your home, it’s unsafe and can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.• Install carbon monoxide detectors and test them regularly. Modern airtight homes can trap pollutants, increasing CO risks. • Maintain ventilation to prevent buildup of carbon monoxide, radon, and mold. • Schedule annual inspections for furnaces, chimneys and fireplaces to ensure safe operation. Fireplace Safety • Have chimneys cleaned annually to remove creosote buildup, a leading cause of chimney fires. • Use a sturdy fireplace screen to prevent sparks from escaping into the room. • Burn only dry, seasoned wood—wet or treated wood can release harmful chemicals and increase creosote deposits. • Check for proper ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide leaks.• Dispose of ashes safely: place them in a metal container with a lid, away from the house. Electric Fireplaces & Space Heaters • Plug directly into wall outlets—avoid extension cords, which can overheat. • Turn off when unattended or while sleeping.• Place on flat, stable surfaces away from rugs, curtains, or furniture. Winter heating brings comfort but also risk. Fireplaces, space heaters, and furnaces must be used with caution, proper ventilation, and regular maintenance. By following these safety practices, you can enjoy a warm, cozy winter without compromising your family’s safety. ANDOVER HOME IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM The intent of the Andover Home Improvement Grant Program is to pay a portion of project costs to Andover property owners, who will make certain exterior improvements to the front (street side) of their home, increasing its curb appeal, which benefits the entire community. Property values less than $316,000 are eligible based on Anoka County 2026 Assessment Year, Payable taxes in 2026. There are no income limits to participate in this program. However, there are eligibility requirements. Grant amounts awarded will be between $500 - $5,000. Homeowners must pay at least $1,500 (75% of project costs) of their own funds to be eligible to receive the minimum grant amount of $500 from the City. Grant dollars do not need to be repaid. Grants will equal 25% of the applicant’s individual project amounts depending upon the scope of work. If the scope of work includes qualifying projects from both categories, then the grant amount will be determined individually in each category. The combined project amount must be $2,000 or more to be eligible. Cost of tools will not be eligible for grant dollars. Applications will be accepted until funds are no longer available. Grant recipients will be awarded on first come first serve basis. The Andover Economic Development Authority reserves the right to modify the program at any time. Additional information including eligibility requirements can be found on the City of Andover’s website. NOTICE FOR CITY OF ANDOVER NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PUBLIC MEETING The City of Andover is required to comply with the latest state storm water quality regulations as administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
