Murphy; Assistant City Administrator for Long-Term Strategy Mike Gaffron, Finance Director
Ron Olson, City Clerk Lin Vee
1. 2010 Budget Discussion
• An update and discussion regarding year-to-date expenditures and revenues for the 2009
budget was held. Although revenues are low, it is anticipated that expenditures and revenues
will offset each other by year-end.
• 2010 preliminary budget hasn't changed significantly. Most of the complaints the assessors
have received are from owners who are losing limited market values. The tax rate will go up for
first time since 2002 and the tax capacity is going down 2.2%.
• 2011 budget assumptions include:
o Inflation factor of 3.5% increase
o Levy limits remain in effect with maximum levy increase of 3.7%
o Property values continue to slide—estimated decrease of 8%
o Permit fees remain flat
• Tax rate will increase to 15.45% in 2011 based on assumptions. Graphs showing the tax rate and
tax levy history were discussed.
• The average value for new homes is down to approximately$450,000 from $900,000 a few
years ago. The trend seems to be moving toward smaller homes.
• It is important to continue to work on the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Police garage
discussions have been on hold because of economy. After tornado this year, it was evident that
the emergency operations center(EOC) in the Police Department would be inadequate in a
major disaster. A training room/EOC would be included in a police garage addition. The city
may want to consider designating an EOC at the Long Lake fire station.
• Council requested a spreadsheet of the status of debt service. Olson indicated that information
has been prepared and will be forwarded to Council.
2. 2010 Fee Schedule
• Potential fee increases were discussed. Highlights include:
o No increase in liquor license fees; may want to consider fee increase for clubs based on
membership, as allowed by State Statutes, in the future.
o Sanitary sewer connection increases of 6.25%for projects after 1997 based on special
assessment rates.
o Double fee for Special Event permit applications received within 10 business days of the
event, i.e. $50 permit fee would increase to $100.
o Annual Service Charge for On-site Septic System program will remain at$55; change fee
listing to Annual Septic Fee.
o Planning and zoning fees are basically a restructures of where the fees and permits are
located. Increase in a few fees to maintain consistency is recommended.
• The requirement for additional surveys was discussed. Gaffron noted that although a survey
may be on file, it my not accurately reflect the current status of the project/property. At one
time staff added hardcover information, but past Councils requested that the surveyor include
the hardcover calculations as part of their survey work.

3. 2010 Calendar
• Council determined that work sessions should remain on the Tuesday evening following a
Council meeting and the start time will change to 6:30 pm.
• Council discussed optional days and times, as well as the possibility of having one work session a
month either before or after the regular Council meeting, especially for pro-active type subjects
or speakers.
• After the new City Administrator starts, the work session schedule will be re-visited.
4. Sledding at Orono Golf Course
• For the past several winters, the clubhouse at the golf course has been open to use as a
warming house for sledding and staffed by a part-time employee. The previous administrator
had planned to have Ron Steffenhagen work on Saturdays and Sundays to keep the clubhouse
open during the sledding season.
• If Ron Steffenhagen works when the clubhouse is open, there is no cost in wages. If a part-time
employee works, wages would cost$500-600. Less than $100 in snacks are sold when the
clubhouse is open.
• Council determined that use of the clubhouse as a warming house is minimal and should not be
open this winter. Sledding will continue to be allowed on the golf course.
5. Comp Plan Discussion
• Gaffron received a draft of the updated stormwater management plan from Bonestroo. Finding
projects that meet the phosphorus reduction standards will be a challenge.
• Lake Elmo has been in contact with Gaffron regarding how Orono has been working with the
Met Council on density issues.
• The Carlsons are no longer part of the Amber Woods project. Jim MacKinnon is the
representative from the bank that now owns the property and holds the letter of credit. The
property has been cleaned up and they are working on finishing the existing building. There
may be changes for the remaining buildings. Council has little recourse to change what has
been approved. The bank/MacKinnon are willing to cooperate and are trying to put something
together that will be sellable.
• LMCD information was received regarding the availability of"Save the Lake"funds for local
projects.
� Gaffron stated Steve Grittman, consultant, is in the process of submitting a more formal
proposal for working on the comp plan update. Some sites that Council may want to consider
reguiding for higher density were identified. Council should be thinking about potential
properties around the city that might work for higher density. To meet the Met Council's
density requirements, development would need to include 6-15 units per acre. The goal is to
identify some sites for higher development to submit to the Met Council.
• This year's housing performance score is 30 to 32. Last year's was 39 and has ranged from 7 or
8 to the mid-30's. The score is based on a variety of factors.
• December 10 is the deadline for the 6 month review period of the Comp Plan update.
Sometime in next month or two, Met Council will expect a meeting to discuss Orono's progress.
Orono has some properties with potential subdivisions that will be subject to density
calculations. Grittman will proceed with an analysis of properties available to do high
density/affordable housing. Met Council approval of the Comp Plan Update could hold up
further development.
• The expectation is that by March 2010 the Comp Plan Update will be ready to submit to the Met
Council.

� A public hearing will be scheduled when the Plan is ready for formal submittal to Met Council,
probably in February.
6. Comments Regarding Information Updates
• The Planning Commission applicant, Linda Feuss, should be included with Planning Commission
communications. Her formal appointment will be made at the next Council meeting.
7. Miscellaneous
• Cleaning up after dogs.
o Mayor White received a letter from a local Brownie Troop with a request to put up signs
with bag dispensers and trash cans to assist people with cleaning up after their dogs on the
Luce Line trail.
o At a recent work session it was also discussed to try some type of dispenser along the
Willow Drive trail. The Public Works Department is recommending against trash cans
because of the potential for mis-use of the cans.
o Council directed staff to install some type of bag dispenser/trash can/dog dump within the
trail system in the Willow View neighborhood on a trial basis.
o Mayor White will respond to the letter from the Brownies.
o An example of a nice dispenser is in Spring Park behind the Mist project.
• Gaffron and Farniok are meeting with Boe Carlson and Jim Brimeyer on Wednesday at 10:30 am
to discuss Dakota Rail trail parking.

12. Increase Annual Service Charge for the On-Site Septic System Program from
$55.00/system/year to $60.00 per system/year. As discussed last year, this fee would
increase$5.00 per year, up to $75.00.
13. Reduce"Charge for Unpaid Accounts Certified for Assessment" and"Water Turn-
On/Turn-Off' from $25.75 to $25.00. These charges were inadvertently increased in
2008.
14. Golf course charges will be reviewed in the spring. Fee changes will be adopted by
resolution at that time.
15. Planning and Zoning/Building fee changes and increases (see attached):
• The Building Code exempts sheds or similar accessory structures 120 square feet
or smaller as well as detached platforms or decks that are less than 30 inches
above grade from a building permit. A General Permit is issued to insure
compliance with the zoning code. Retaining walls currently listed under General
Permit are now regulated by the Building Code and are issued a building permit.
• 2009 was the first year of implementation for the Construction Site Runoff
ordinance. Staff also fine tuned the application escrow procedure and determined
that combining the application escrow and erosion control escrow for building
applications is the most efficient process. Combination of these two escrows also
caused staff to reevaluate the dollar amount required for security. Based on the
City Engineer's recommendation, $2000 is the least amount of money to secure
for projects where erosion control is a concern. Therefore staff adjusted the
escrow amounts listed below and added an erosion control escrow requirement for
demolition permits.
Application & Erosion Control Escrow Changes:
o Page 1 - Increase escrow from$600 to $700 in order to maintain consistency
with CUP application escrow for Variances other than new structure
applications
o Page 8 - Building Permit application escrows -no amount change but addition
of the word minimum as they will now include the Erosion Control escrow
amount
o Addition of a$2000 Application and Erosion Control Escrow for Demolition
Permits
o Increase of the escrow for Grading, Excavation &Land Alteration Permits to
$2000 in order to include both Application escrow and Erosion
Control
o Increase of the Retaining Wall escrow to $2000 in order to include erosion
control
o Increase escrow for Stairways to the Lake from $600 to $2000 as the escrow
will now include Erosion Control
Other Changes:
• Page 3 - Removal of the words Class III as the Final Plat Review fee applies to all
subdivision applications where a final plat is necessary
Fee Schedule Memo
November 20, 2009

• Don and Lin participated in a webinar this week on Emerald Ash Borer. The webinar
was hosted by the Department of Agriculture and League of Minnesota Cities.
Information on EAB in Minnesota and available resources were discussed. Although
grant programs are available, eligible entities must be within 15 miles of a documented
infestation. The nearest documented EAB infestations appear to be in St. Paul.

• We have formal confirmation that voluntary foreclosure of the Amber Woods Office
Center property has resulted in a transfer of ownership to First Commercial Bank of
Bloomington. Phil and Gina Carlson are no longer involved with the property. Local
retired attorney Jim MacKinnon is representing the Bank in getting the site cleaned up
and moving forward with interior completion of the first building. MacKinnon indicates
that the future of the site as home to four additional feng-shui office condo buildings is
under discussion, and the new owners may be interested in redeveloping the site
differently than the approved plan. Stay tuned... ! (Mike)
• Early in the week I received a phone call from a La.ke Elmo councilmember(Steve
DeLapp)who was looking for parallels between their battle with Met Council and our
situation. After providing him only minimal information in the 20-minute"conversation"
(in which he was talking 95%of the time)he discussed Orono at their council meeting
Tuesday night. Wednesday morning I received a voice-mail from a reporter at the
Stillwater Gazette which I chose not to return. The attached article appeared on
Wednesday, with a lot of incorrect information that doesn't jive with what I told
DeLapp. I then had a cordial conversation today with Lake Elmo's city administrator
Bruce Messelt in which we ultimately agreed that the two cities really don't have much in
common regarding our disagreements with Met Council. La.ke Elmo has huge tracts of
open farmland 5-10 miles from the heart of St. Paul,just begging for suburban
development, despite the city's desire to remain rural. Met Council is apparently going
after Lake Elmo to recover its huge investment in existing sewer interceptors that are not
being used anywhere near their intended capacity. We on the other hand have small
tracts of land 15-20 miles from the heart of Minneapolis that are scattered about and not
conducive to suburban development, and excess unused capacity is not a factor in our
situation. Lake Elmo has much bigger problems to solve than we do, and they have
burned many bridges in getting where they are now; in my opinion we need to not be
associated with them as our discussions with Met Council move forward... (Mike)

Subject: Budget Update
Date: November 24, 2009
We have updated the year-to-date revenues and expenditures for the General Fund. Expenditures
are currently at 78.82% of budget. As discussed previously, General Fund expenditures are
projected to under budget for the year. A few departments will require a budget adjustment.
Revenues are also projected to be under budget for the year. It is anticipated that the variances in
expenditures and revenues will offset each other.

TO: Mayor White and Council Members
FROM: Ron Olson, Finance Director
DATE: November 24, 2009
SUBJECT: 2010 Budget
The proposed 2010 budget reflects an effort to address current operating needs during a period of
decreasing revenues and limited taxing ability.
Tax Lew
The total t� levy required to fund the proposed 2010 budget is $4,665,880. This is an increase of
$101,194,or 2.22%over the 20101evy. The levy for the General Fund is increasing by$32,280,which
is the maximum allowed under the levy limits imposed by the 20081egislature. The City is utilizing
the"Special Levy"provision of the levy limit law in order to increase the levy for debt service above
the levy limit. The breakout of the use of tax levy revenues by fund is shown on the attached chart titled
Tax Levies.
Tax Capacitv Rate and Imuact of the Tax Lew on Propertv Owners
The County has provided an estimate of the City's tax capacity, based on the annual property
revaluation conducted by the County Assessor. It is estimated that the City's tax capacity(or tax base)
has decreased by approximately 2.2%. Applying the proposed tax levy to the estimated tax capacity
results in a tax rate of 13.778%;this is an increase from the 20091eve1 of 13.183%. Using this tax rate,
the City's share of the property tax bill on a home valued at$500,000 will increase by$14.95,or 2.2%.
For a home valued at $1,000,000, the City's share of the property tax bill will increase by$29.05, or
2.0%. These calculations assume as 2.2%decrease in the property's value. Homes that retained their
value will see increases of 4.5%. A number of properties that are no longer subject to the limited
market value are experiencing significant tax increases.
General Fund Budget
General Fund Expenditures
The proposed 2010 General Fund expenditures are $5,928,2100. This is a decrease of$235,640, or
3.82% under the 2009 budget. The major factor to the General Fund budget decrease is the plan to
leave vacant positions unfilled. Currently the City has unfilled positions in the Inspections, Public
Works, and Police Departments. For 2010 the budget currently includes a 1%wage increase and a$50
per month increase in the City's insurance contribution.
General Fund Revenue Hi� h�ts
Construction-related revenues are decreasing based on the slow-down in housing construction. Police
service revenues are proposed to decrease $90,000, or 9.7%, to reflect the current service contract
negotiations.
Debt Service Levies
The total levy for debt service is increasing by $68,914, or 9.81%, to reflect the increased levy for
the 2008 Street Reconstruction Bonds. The City will utilize a special levy in order to increase the
debt service levy by an amount greater than the current levy limit. The increases required for debt
service will be much lower in future years.
