MEMORANDUM
To: Melinda Coleman, City Manager
From: Michael Thompson, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Public Works 2016 Operating Budget
Date: October 26, 2015
Introduction
The proposed 2016 budget for Public Works will be presented to the City Council for comment
and discussion. No action is required.
Background / Discussion
The total budget proposed in 2016 is $11,213,250.00, which is a 2.2% increase over 2015. The
majority of the budget is covered by the sanitary sewer, environmental utility, street light utility,
and fleet management funds, while $3,786,550.00 is covered by the general fund. The budget
remains steady and most increases are due to labor costs (e.g.…cost of living adjustments).
Full-time staffing that was built into the 2016 budget will remain the same as 2015. However
with the expanded street pavement rehabilitation effort starting in 2016, hiring an additional
engineering intern is proposed to supplement the existing full-time staff.
Another area of need exists within our rain garden maintenance program. Currently one
seasonal employee works over a period of 6 months during the growing season. This person is
assisted by park maintenance and city naturalist. However, to properly maintain the expanding
numbers of city rain gardens and boulevards, which we take great pride in, the 2016 budget
reflects one additional seasonal employee.
Two title changes will be reflected in 2016 budget including for our Assistant City Engineer,
Steve Love. He has been performing many duties of the City Engineer and currently directly
oversees engineering operations and continues to perform at a high level. It has been
determined a reclassification is prudent and necessary. The new title would be City
Engineer/Dep. Public Works Director, which would report to the Director of Public Works. This
structure will also provide continuity and prudent succession planning going into the future.
Lastly, the position of Building Maintenance Supervisor has been vacant since mid 2014. In the
interim the duties have fallen under the Street/Storm Superintendent. With a renewed effort of
investing into our city facilities which will require extensive planning, organizing, and
management of building operations & staff, a City Facilities Manager position will be filled. This
position will be directly responsible for prioritizing and implementing capital improvement
projects for all city facilities using the recently completed Asset Management Plan among many
other duties. This position would report directly to the Director of Public Works.

COMMENTS
During 2014, Building Operations was moved from I.T. to Public Works. This program covers routine HVAC and
building maintenance for the City Hall Complex, 1902 Building Complex, Park Maintenance Building, Community
Center, Fire Stations and the Nature Center.
Staff anticipates to see a decrease in requests annually due in part to an asset management study which was
completed on all city buildings and a five-year CIP plan. This will allow for proactive replacements and repairs.
*All outputs and thus indicators are new and thus no information is available for 2013.

COMMENTS
The investment in the City’s road reconstruction program is shown in the mileage of streets expected to be above the
good rating of 70 PCI. The goal of the department is to get at least 75% of the streets into a category of good within
the next 5 years. This program is a long term investment in the infrastructure of the City of Maplewood. It is the City’s
goal to rate 1/3 of the City’s streets each year.
As the franchise fee revenue is put toward fixing an additional 2 miles per year, the percent of lane miles over a 70
PCI should steadily increase.

COMMENTS
The engineering program remains a revenue-producing program with revenues exceeding the program costs which allows
for a contribution back into the general fund. The program continues to maintain a staff utilization rate well in excess of
50% which shows the program is continuing a high staff assignment rate to projects.
Over the past few years there has been a reduction in the street reconstruction program. With the approval of the gas
franchise fee in 2015, an additional 2 miles of street reconditioning projects per year will be performed over the next 20
years. This additional investment will have significant impacts on the quality of the local roads in Maplewood.

COMMENTS
The forestry program was implemented in 2012. This program allows enhanced tracking of activities related to the
urban forest where the city has maintenance responsibilities. The program encompasses customer service, tree
inspections, tree removals, and regular maintenance activities such as trimming and cleanup.
This program is separate from the tree preservation program in the Parks and Recreation Department. That program
will continue to fund tree plantings in coordination with the rebate program. This program will track the number of
new trees planted.

The major priority for park maintenance is to keep the parks well maintained and prepared for athletic activities. Park
Maintenance also leads the effort in removal of graffiti in addition to working with Code Enforcement to abate nuisances
as needed.
A conscious effort continues to reduce mowing acreage annually with the creation of more natural areas consistent with
a sustainability approach.

COMMENTS
This program was new in 2004 and shows the growth of information, inspection and the dedication of personnel to the
storm sewer program responsibilities. This is a major growth program as the requirements of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit require additional inspections and maintenance activities to meet the
storm water goals of the region. The sump structures are now part of the performance indicators, with a goal of 100%
sediment removal of all sump structures in need of sediment removal. In addition, with the mandates required by the
NPDES MS4 Permit, which is 5-years in duration, the goal is to inspect all water bodies over that period.

COMMENTS
This program is maintaining a steady pace of implementation. The indicators show that the average date of
completion of the first sweep is in early April which typically allows much of the winter debris to be swept up prior to
major rainstorm events.
The department is maintaining the employee hours dedicated to this program and has been able to provide every
street with at least 3 sweepings per year, with goal of 5 times per year.
The number of times swept in 2014 was impacted by a late first round completion due to weather conditions.
The increase in cost is related to screening and disposal at Industrial Landfill.
Note: Cost per capita is based on estimated population provided by Environmental and Economic Development

COMMENTS
The number of street lights increased in 2011 as a result of the decorative pedestrian lighting installed near the
Maplewood Mall on White Bear Avenue and County Rd D. The number also increased in 2012 with the installation of
twenty new decorative pedestrian lights in the Gladstone area. In 2013, six new decorative lights were installed on the
new English Bridge. The City of Saint Paul maintains the specialty lighting while Xcel Energy maintains the standard
fixtures.

MEMORANDUM
To: Melinda Coleman, City Manager
From: Mychal Fowlds, IT Director
Subject: 2016 IT Department Budget Presentation
Date: October 27, 2015
Introduction/Background
The IT Departments 2016 budget request totals $787,200, almost exactly the budget of 2015.
The department has only minor changes, and they are described below.
The proposed budget shows a small increase in commodities in 2016 due to, in large part, the
replacement of our wireless infrastructure throughout all City buildings. Our existing system will
be ten years old next year and is due for replacement. Our only other significant change is in
Contractual Services. In 2015, we have replaced some of our core Public Safety applications
and with that we see a slight reduction in Fees for Service. The net result is a proposed budget
very close to previous years.
The information above and attached is looking at the IT Department as it is currently. With the
City Councils recent decision to leave the Cable Commission and Coordinated Communication
being a core objective, a change in staffing will likely be reviewed. Staff will continue to discuss
this and will ultimately present our plan to the City Council when completed.
Recommendation
The proposed 2016 IT Department Budget has been presented for informational and discussion
purposes. No Council action is required.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager Melinda Coleman
FROM: Chief of Police Paul P. Schnell
DATE: October 28, 2015
SUBJECT: Police Department Budget Presentation
Introduction
The 2016 police department budget proposal calls for a 4.3% increase over 2015. The police
department budget is largely personnel costs and non-discretionary contract services, which
drives the year-over-year increase.
Background
Despite overall reductions in the number of police department personnel over the past year,
which resulted from early retirement incentive programming, personnel and non-discretionary
contract services will increase in 2016. Driving the 2016 request is increased dispatching costs,
contracted computer forensics services, unmarked squad leasing, and COLA and step
increases for department personnel.
The department proposed a reduction in commodity funds largely due to a dramatic reduction in
fuel costs overall.

Recommendation
