ADJOURNMENT RULES OF CIVILITY FOR THE CITY COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND OUR COMMUNITY Following are rules of civility the City of Maplewood expects of everyone appearing at Council Meetings - elected officials, staff and citizens. It is hoped that by following these simple rules, everyone’s opinions can be heard and understood in a reasonable manner. We appreciate the fact that when appearing at Council meetings, it is understood that everyone will follow these principles: Speak only for yourself, not for other council members or citizens - unless specifically tasked by your colleagues to speak for the group or for citizens in the form of a petition. Show respect during comments and/or discussions, listen actively and do not interrupt or talk amongst each other. Be respectful of the process, keeping order and decorum. Do not be critical of council members, staff or others in public. Be respectful of each other’s time keeping remarks brief, to the point and non-repetitive.

In response, the City of Maplewood has joined the Safe and Stable Communities Coalition to work collaboratively with other communities to advance strategies to stabilize local economies and support residents. While Operation Metro Surge is a federally led initiative, its impacts are felt at the local level through: Workforce disruptions affecting local employers Reduced economic activity for small businesses Increased need for food and housing assistance Heightened fear and uncertainty among some residents Workshop Packet Page Number 17 of 28 E2 As a part of the Council work session, staff will share insights gathered from businesses and nonprofit partners. Staff will also discuss available programs and ways other cities, regional partners, nonprofits, and businesses are responding to mitigate the impacts of federal immigration enforcement actions.

Assessment rates have remained unchanged since 2009, but construction costs have increased significantly, making it increasingly difficult to meet the 20% threshold on some projects. The presentation will cover assessment rate requirements, history of assessment rates compared to construction cost, and next steps. Staff is looking for feedback from the City Council on and additional information needed before developing next steps. Recommended Action: No action is required. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact?NoYes, the true or estimated cost is $0 Financing source(s):Adopted BudgetBudget ModificationNew Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: NA Strategic Plan Relevance: SafetyMaintain and enhance infrastructure and environmental systems Sustainability Development Maintaining the City’s street and utility infrastructure directly impacts the quality of life for those who live, work, and visit the City. Assessments are one of the funding sources that help the City deliver street improvement projects. Workshop Packet Page Number 19 of 28 E3 Background: To use special assessments for public improvement projects without a referendum, the City must comply with Minnesota State Statute 429. This statute establishes two key requirements related to assessment rates. 1. The City may not assess a property for more than the benefit received. Each year, the City retains an independent appraiser to determine the benefit of a project to affected properties. That benefit amount is then compared to the maximum assessment rate established annually by the City Council. The assessment rate applied to a project is the lesser of the appraised benefit or the Council-adopted maximum rate. 2. The total assessments collected for a project must equal at least 20% of the City’s eligible project costs. Eligible costs exclude funding for sewer, water, state aid, and grant contributions. Cost History The last increase to assessment rates occurred in 2009, when the rate for full reconstruction projects increased from $6,000 to $6,600 per property. While assessment rates have remained unchanged since 2010, construction costs have continued to rise significantly. In 2010, full reconstruction projects were estimated at approximately $1,772,000 per mile. By 2025, that estimate has increased to approximately $4,500,000 per mile. Additional factors impacting the City’s ability to meet the 20% threshold include project scope and the number of assessable properties. For example, the 2025 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) street improvement project included Prosperity Road, which has a substantial segment of roadway adjacent to Wakefield Park. This reduces the number of assessable properties by approximately half, thereby reducing the total assessment revenue available for the project and making compliance with the 20% threshold more challenging. To help meet the 20% threshold while minimizing the financial impact on property owners, staff modified the structure of CIP projects beginning in 2024. Prior to 2024, the City typically had two separate projects, a reconstruction project and a reclamation project. In 2024, these two projects were combined into a single capital improvement project with designated Area A and Area B components. This structure allowed the City to leverage the higher assessment-to-cost ratio of the reclamation project to support overall compliance with the 20% threshold. However, as project costs continue to increase, some future CIP projects may become difficult to deliver at current assessment rates while still meeting the 20% threshold. As part of the preparation of the 2027-2031 CIP process, staff would like to conduct a comprehensive review of proposed project assessment rates. The goal of the review will be to determine assessment rates that meet the 20% threshold while minimizing financial impacts to property owners. The review will include estimating future project costs, evaluating assessment rates relative to the 20% threshold for each project, developing recommendations for future assessment rates, and having the recommendations reviewed by an independent appraiser to ensure the recommended rates do not exceed the benefit to the property. The results of this review will be brought back to the City Council for consideration and direction. Attachments: 1.
