AGENDA REPORT
TO: James Antonen, City Manager
FROM: DuWayne Konewko, Parks and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: MCC Financial Goals for 2010 and 2011
DATE: October 21, 2010
INTRODUCTION
One of the seven goals that council directed Mr. Antonen to implement was the "Re- establishment
of a Parks and Recreation Department that included Maplewood Community Center (MCC) ". Staff
was directed to begin working on the transition aimed at the creation of a Parks and Recreation
Department. To that end, staff has been working hard on the transition and effective October 15
MCC and Parks and Recreation has become one department.
xe
Going forward, staff will be looking at the overall operations of MCC and Parks and Recreation to
best determine how to proceed. In addition, at the December 13 City Council meeting, staff will
be presenting a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of North St. Paul to provide recreational
services for Council's review and consideration. Staff is very excited about this new opportunity
with North St. Paul and believes that this new collaboration will provide both communities with an
exciting opportunity to experience enhanced recreation programs for everyone from preschool -
aged children to seniors.
Along with looking at operational details, staff will also be developing long term sustainable
strategies regarding the Parks and Recreation budget. The 2011 budget calls for a total of $565k
from Maplewood's Property Tax Levy for the Parks and Recreation Department in which MCC
receives $340k and Recreation $225k. As was discussed at a previous City Council meeting,
MCC is currently running a deficit and this is very likely to continue in the coming years. As a
result of this projected budget shortfall in the foreseeable future, staff will be creating a three year
strategy plan in order to work towards the goal of the Park and Recreation Department becoming
financially stable with a predetermined property tax levy amount each year.
RECOMMENDATION
No formal action is required by Council.

RE:
2011 Budget Goals
DATE:
October 26, 2010
INTRODUCTION
At the September 7 th Council /Manac er Workshop, the Council was given a review of the
2011 Budget. At the September 13 Council Meeting, the Council approved a maximum
tax levy increase of 5 %. A final 2011 Budget and tax levy will be approved on December
6, 2010.
DISCUSSION
Staff has been monitoring 2010 actuals and reviewing 2011 estimates looking for
additional savings. Adjustments that have been made since the last meeting are:
2010 Re- estimate
Taste of Maplewood costs were more than previously anticipated. Need to account for an
additional $11,333 of costs in 2010.
2011 Budget
Reviewed the Administrative Charges assessed to the City's enterprise funds and increased
revenues by $36,130.
Decreases made to various department budgets totaled $24,640.
Some wage step increases were not accounted for in the original proposal. Needed to increase
expenditures by $46,070 for wage and benefit budgets.

The Council established a contingency budget of $122,000 in anticipation of unknown
expenses, including wage and health cost adjustments. Further analysis and
negotiations have solidified our estimates of these costs going into 2011, and no specific
expenditures have been designated for that contingency. The City Manager does not
recommend reducing the contingency at this time due to the continued uncertainty with
some of the revenue estimates in a number of areas and how quickly unanticipated items
can arise. For each 0.5% decrease in the levy, approximately $80,000 of additional
revenues or cuts to expenditures would need to be made. The Council may consider
reducing the contingency and thus the final levy amount; however, a reduction beyond
$80,000 would likely cause a need for reductions in planned expenditures.

The State Auditor recommends that cities maintain unreserved fund balances in their
general fund of approximately 35 to 50 percent of fund operating revenues or no less
than five months of operating expenditures. The 2011 budget projects a fund balance of
36.1 % of fund operating revenues and 4.4 months of operating expenditures. The 5%
levy increase puts us at the bottom of the range recommended by the State Auditor. The
fund balance in the General Fund was 36.1% of revenues in October 1989 when the
city's bond rating was increased to Aa.
An adequate fund balance is needed to maintain our bond rating and provide a sufficient
balance for our cash flow needs.
RECOMMENDATION
Council direction is requested on the proposed tax levy increase to be used in completing
the budget booklet for the December 6 meeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jim Antonen, City Manager
FROM: Karen Guilfoile, Director Citizen Services
DATE: October 27, 2010
SUBJECT: Taste of Maplewood - Discuss 2010 Expenses and Proposal for 2011 Event
Background
To celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the city, in June of 2007 the city had its first Taste of
Maplewood event. Over the years the event has progressed and in 2010 the city council
approved a resolution of support for the 2010 event to run for two days which occurred on
August 6 and 7th
Because the event has grown in size in both vendors and participants the event was moved to
Goodrich Park last year. Organizing an event of this magnitude has both its challenges and
rewards. And, lessons learned.
In our plans for expanding to a two day event in 2010, staff determined that we would license
as many vendors that applied for a permit as long as they met license requirements. We ended
up with a total of 97 vendors including: 48 food and beverage vendors, 18 crafter vendors, 19
marketplace vendors and 12 sponsor and business vendors. This does not include any of the 13
entertainment vendors which included Stipes Carnival, Martin Zellar, The Mu Daiko Drummers
and GB Leighton to name a few.
Herein lies the lessons learned. Getting power to the vendors in the form of generators and
gasoline to run the generators was where our inexperience in managing festivals caught us off
guard. In future events generators will only be used for entertainment and will be provided by
a company experienced in providing power to festival types of events.
The other area that we will change is the number of vendors that we will license for the event.
I personally have met with several vendors during and after the event to solicit input from their
experience and we will probably cut in half the amount of vendors that we allow in the future.
The event will have categories for food and beverage types; and depending on the item, only a
couple of licenses will be issued for each category so that the vendors have more of an
opportunity to sell their product. We will also have a craft and marketplace vendor section that
will be separate from the food area.
Packet Page Number 7 of 60
During 2009, a separate fund was set up to account for revenues received and costs incurred
for the annual Taste of Maplewood. A transfer was to be completed each year from the
General Fund to the Taste of Maplewood Fund to cover the net costs. While the amount
allotted for the event was included in both the 2009 and 2010 budget, the transfers for both
years needs to be completed.
The 2009 net costs were $18,796.99 and the 2010 net costs amounted to $46,333.02. A
transfer of $65,130.01 needs to be made from the General Fund to the Taste of Maplewood
Fund to cover net expenses for 2009 and 2010.
So that entertainment and sponsors can be secured for the 2011 event, a resolution of support
for the 2011 Taste of Maplewood will be on the November 8, 2010 city council agenda for
approval. Funds have been budgeted for the 2011 event.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Council authorize the following: (1) a transfer of $65,130.01 from
the General Fund to the Taste of Maplewood Fund, and (2) the appropriate budget changes.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jim Antonen, City Manager
FROM: Karen Guilfoile, Director Citizen Services
DATE: October 27, 2010
SUBJECT: Maplewood Monthly - Discuss 2011 Production Plans
Background
Currently the Maplewood Monthly is published 12 times annually. To save on production costs,
all Recreation Programs and Maplewood Community Center (MCC) events, classes and
programs are included in the monthly publication. Several years back, in addition to the
Maplewood Monthly, there was a quarterly recreation publication that was produced that only
contained recreation and MCC programs, classes and events.
With the reorganization of the Parks and Recreation Department and partnering with the City
of North St. Paul in recreation programming, staff has indicated that they would like to
implement the quarterly recreation publication.
As you are aware, in May of 2010, the council approved the award of bid for printing services
for the Maplewood Monthly and the Maplewood Seasons for the time period of July 2010
through December 2012. In addition to the annual Maplewood Seasons, the bid was for 12
issues annually for the Maplewood Monthly.
The approximate cost to print the Maplewood /North St. Paul quarterly recreation issue with a
colored print cover and black & white on the inside is $57,200 annually including postage. The
brochure would go to all Maplewood and North St. Paul residents.
North St. Paul may be able to contribute some funds towards the brochure. They currently
produce a city brochure three times annually and it combines both city news and recreation
programs.
By removing the majority of recreation programs and MCC events, classes and programs from
the Maplewood Monthly, the cost would be less because of the amount of pages that will need
to be produced. It is the goal, however, to increase the amount and quality of content of the
Maplewood Monthly in 2011 so it is difficult to get a true cost of the production.
Packet Page Number 9 of 60
Discussion
Staff is requesting input from the council on the production of the Maplewood Monthly. It is
our intent to go to a quarterly Parks and Recreation Brochure (which will include MCC and
North St. Paul offerings) and to reduce the Maplewood Monthly to eight times a year.
The Parks and Recreation Brochure will be produced in February, April, August and November.
The remaining eight months the Maplewood Monthly will be produced.
Staff will continue to work with North St. Paul to collaborate ideas. One thought is to have a flip
book (Maplewood on one side and North St. Paul on the other) possibly for three out of the eight
Maplewood Monthly publications. North St. Paul staff has indicated that they would be able to
contribution some budgeted funds if this route is taken.
If council is amenable, it will be necessary to amend the Rules of Procedure for the City Council,
which is done annually in January, which states:
The city newsletter article schedule will be divided such that each councilmember has two
city newsletter issues to write in a year and the Mayor has four city newsletter issues to
write for in a year. A councilmember may have the option to assign their scheduled
newsletter article month to any other councilmember or to the Mayor if they so chose.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Manager
FROM: Finance Manager, Parks Director and City Engineer
RE: Proposed 2011 rates for Sanitary Sewer, EUF, Recycling, Water
Surcharge, Recreation Programs
DATE: October 22, 2010
INTRODUCTION
During preparation of the annual budget, staff reviews revenues produced by the current
rates to determine if they are sufficient to cover operating, capital and infrastructure
costs. The programs that were reviewed were Sanitary Sewer, Environmental Utility,
North St. Paul Water Surcharge, St. Paul Water Surcharge, Street Lights and Recreation
Programs. Based on current information, it was determined that North St. Paul Water
Surcharge and Street Lights did not warrant a fee increase at this time but the remaining
programs did. Also, there is no increase proposed for assessment rates and benefit
appraisals will help set assessment rates on next years' street projects.
DISCUSSION
The attached statements identify the expenditure and revenue categories, as well as the
cash balances for the following programs.
Sanitary Sewer — we experienced an unusually wet summer this year and, as a result,
water usage was down. Sewer collections are based on water usage and this is the
main reason why 2010 estimates are lower than what was budgeted. Staff is proposing
a 7% increase in rates again this year. The Sewer Fund still shows a negative cash
balance at the end of 2011 and staff will either adjust their spending on projects or bond
for some of the costs.
Present 2011
St. Paul Billinq District:
Rate per 100 cubic feet $2.56 $2.74
Minimum Charge (per quarter) $14.39 $15.40
North St. Paul, Roseville, Little Canada and
Woodbury Billinq Districts:
Rate per 1,000 gals. $ 3.42 $3.66
Minimum Charge (per quarter) $14.39 $15.40
P:\AGENDA REPORTS \11.01.10`TEES - PROPOSED 2011 WORKSHOP.DOC Packet Page Number 11 of 60
Environmental Utility — a 10% increase is being proposed to offset the demands on city
resources for storm water treatment. The 10% proposed increase will raise the quarterly
rates on a single- family home from $15.57 ($5.19 per month) to $17.13 ($5.71 per
month); a $0.52 per month increase. An increase in the amount to be bonded for will
also be necessary in 2011 if staff proceeds with all the projects outlined in the 2011 CIP.
Recycling — recycling rates have not been increased since 2007. The current monthly
recycling fee is $2.12 per multi- family unit and the quarterly fee for single - family
residents is $6.35 per quarter. Staff is proposing a 5% increase resulting in fees of
$2.22 per month per multi- family unit and $6.66 per quarter for single - family residents.
Water Surcharge - this fund is needed to finance the unassessable water system
improvements that would otherwise have to be financed by property taxes. The proposed
2011 Budget includes an increase in the water surcharge for the St. Paul Water Service
District from 2% of the St. Paul Water charge to 4% of the St. Paul Water charge. The
increase would be approximately $1.00 per quarter for a family of four with average
water usage (i.e. 22 units per quarter).
Recreation Programs - the last time the fees were increased was 2009 and the increase
was three - percent. Revenue is projected to come in under budget for 2010 and staff is
proposing a 5% increase in fees for 2011. The addition of North St. Paul Recreation
Programs should offset any deficits in this fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Council direction is requested on the proposed rate increases.

responsibility of networking with community organizations and leaders to create a
forum where Maplewood citizens could respectfully speak with comfort and

To the Maplewood City Council:
My name is Arianne K Maxwell. I am applying for a position on the Maplewood
Human Rights Commission. Currently, I am a licensed Special Education Teacher in
the area bf Specific Learning Disabilities. As a teacher, I work with students from
all backgrounds. I work tirelessly as an educational advocate for 41) students and
teach them to be life-long learners in their education, community, And globally.
I also have experience in building bridges between different Cultures. My heritage
consists of being African-American, Western European, and Native American. I
work to build bridges with these cultural communities together to promote
education and understanding about one another. My rich heritage has instilled the
important tools of understanding such as active listening, attending other cultural
events, and seeing the perspective of others. I know that my heritage and cultural
tools would beneficial and synergize with other members of the commission.
To begin my teaching career, I was a house manager for a six resident group home
concerned with cognitive developmental delays. MY responsibilities ranges from
maintaining finances, purchasing of groceries, and organizing community activities.
This is where my passion for the human rights issue of housing began.
My recent teaching experience, I was a case manager for 10 students with autism. I
taught a Transition class for middle school students on citizenship. I had a member
of the Crystal City Council speak with the kids about citizenship in their local
community. This is a passion of mine to educate students about the community and
the world around them. The teaching of human rights starts at home and in the
classroom.
I would like to be a member of the Human Rights Commission based on my
background, teaching experiences, and housing,
Sincerely,
Arianne K Maxwell

the economy continues to struggle, our neighbors need us more than ever. In 20101 chaired the
Foundation's Inaugural Golf Tournament. The goal of this event was to raise $3500 to $5000 for our
endowment fund. The event was not only a success but we doubled our fundraising initiative. This
endowment fund will be utilized to award scholarships to students in our area who give back to their
communities.
I am a member of the awards committee for the MNCUN (Minnesota Credit Union Network) and have
been since 2003. We recognize individuals and credit unions that positively impact the communities they
serve. This committee encourages community involvement and recognizes outstanding efforts,
highlighting the credit union movement's philosophy of "people Helping People"
From 2005 to 2008 1 supported the Woodbury area as ambassador of the Chamber of Commerce. As an
ambassador it was our duty to support growth within the business community and encourage local
patronage.
In 2010, my neighborhood developed a Park Committee for Sherwood Park- The residents who wish to
take an active role in caring for the park enjoy this initiative. We gather together twice a year to clean the
park and once a year to celebrate its existence.
Other organizations I have been affiliated with in the past: Women's Venture, North St Paul Merchant
Task Force, Woodbury Days Volunteer, and the Oakdale Business and Professional Association.

Additional Comments:
I have been a leader within my organization since 1999. Managing people within the financial industry
for this length of time has provided we a profound respect for the rules and regulations which guide us.
As an organization, due to the fact we have respected these regulations in years past, we struggle less in a
weakened economic environment.
I am also a mentor for two individuals. Mentoring others in their chosen car= path is an honor. It also
provides me insight into their viewpoints on a multigenerational level. With the numerous hot topics we
encounter today, this experience allows me to stay closely connected and relate easily to all age groups
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to discussing the City Council's strategic
goals, as they pertain to this commission, with you in person. I would honor the opportunity to serve the
residents o f Maplewood in this capacity:
