REPORT FROM: Mychal Fowlds, IT Director
PRESENTER:
Mychal Fowlds, IT Director
AGENDA ITEM: Metro-INET Joint Powers Agreement
Action Requested: Motion Discussion Public Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution Ordinance Contract/Agreement Proclamation
Policy Issue:
The IT Department partners with the City of Roseville and the Metro-INET group of cities for IT
services including phone system, fiber optic maintenance, virtual server & storage infrastructure,
wireless infrastructure and disaster recovery systems. For a number of reasons, listed in this report
and attachment, a formal JPA is being created which the Maplewood City Council is being asked to
approve.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve entering into Metro-INET joint powers agreement.
Fiscal Impact:
Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is a yearly cost approved by
the board each prior year. The amount in 2020 equals 12 monthly payments of $6,230.
Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source

Operational Effectiveness Community Inclusiveness Infrastructure & Asset Mgmt.
In regards to Financial Sustainability, by continuing to partner with the Metro-INET group of cities
we are able to realize economies of scale. We also have the added benefit that not only services
are included in this payment but future capital costs are also included. This provides the City a
much more consistent budgetary amount versus the challenge of funding large capital costs every
few years. In regards to Operational Effectiveness, by working as one when it comes to our storage
and virtual environments we’ve been able to create a private cloud of sorts with failover to multiple
sites within the metro area running on hardware that we could not afford on our own. This equates
to a much more reliable system for Maplewood and our users. To continue to realize the
efficiencies that we’ve created, joining the JPA is required.

Background
Currently the City of Roseville provides information technology (IT) services and infrastructure to
Maplewood and 43 other local governmental agencies. The City first began providing IT services in
1999 and since that time this collaboration has evolved to what is Metro-INET today.
On March 16, Roseville staff presented an update to the Roseville City Council on the efforts to
transform Metro-INET from a Roseville operation to joint powers authority model. From that
meeting, the Roseville City Council indicated a desire to pursue evolving Roseville’s Metro-INET to
a joint powers authority.
As this work and conversation began with the members of Metro-INET, the world was plunged into
the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many months were lost as Metro-INET members dealt with
the pandemic in their community and its impact on their organizations.
A working group of Mychal Fowlds and staff from 5 other communities, along with Metro-INET staff,
have been working with Attorney Jim Strommen of Kennedy and Graven to craft the draft joint
powers agreement which will need to be ratified by each Metro-INET member. The draft document
has been sent to all members for their review by each member’s attorney. To-date, there has been
no issues with the proposed agreement from other members and many members are scheduling
consideration by their board or City Council in December. Given the short time remaining this year,
it is expected that the approvals by all members will not be completed until the first couple of
months in 2021.
Once the member approvals are completed, Metro-INET will constitute itself and begin the process
of transition from a City of Roseville enterprise to a joint powers authority. One of the first actions
the Metro-INET Board will need to take is to hire an Executive Director to assist the Board in the
transition. It is expected that it will take all of 2021 to fully transition Metro-INET, including having
the City of Roseville IT staff become employees of the Metro-INET joint powers authority.
Details of the JPA are outlined in a memo prepared by Roseville City Manager Pat Trudgeon to
Metro-INET members and provided as Attachment 1. The final draft of the JPA is included as
Attachment 2. The JPA has been reviewed by City Attorney Batty and he finds the agreement
acceptable.

To: Metro-INET Members
cc: Pete Bauer & Jason Swalley, Metro-INET
From: Patrick Trudgeon, Roseville City Manager
Date: December 1, 2020
Re: Metro-INET Joint Powers Agreement
Metro-INEToriginally started as a collaboration between Roseville and Mounds View to
share IT resources in 1999. Since that time, Metro-INET has grown to 35 member
organizations receiving full IT services and 9 associate members receiving limited IT services.
Not only has the number of Metro-INETmembers grown, each member agency’s needs have
grown exponentially. Some examples in recent years include the deployment of laser fiche,
remote computer access, electronic door access, wireless access points, as well as body cam
support for law enforcement.
Currently, Metro-INET is under organizational control of the Roseville City Manager and
Roseville City Council. All Metro-INET employees are actually Roseville employees and fall
under Roseville personnel policy, its liability coverage, and compensation structure. The
Roseville City Manager makes employment decisions for Metro-INET including the hiring
and termination of employees. The City of Roseville includes the $3.5 million Metro-INET
budget as part of its city budget.
While this arrangement has worked for many years, the following issues is making it harder to
keep Metro-INET sustainable into the future:
Roseville City Council concern about the amount of Metro-INET staff and the
added liability and carrying costs for that amount of employees
Roseville City Council concern the use of space within City given other city
department space needs
The Roseville employee compensation plan lags behind the market for other local
governments and especially with LOGIS, a joint powers entity that provides IT
services to many local governments in the Twin Cities. LOGIS has recruited
several Metro-INET staff members over the past couple of years
As a result of the Roseville compensation plan and organizational structure, it is
not possible to create the necessary executive leadership to guide the large $3.5
million Metro-INET enterprise

Finally, it should be noted that the Roseville City Council could at any time
decide to no longer be the lead agency for Metro-INET and a result, breakup
Metro-INET and let members figure out how to best provide IT services for their
organization. It should be pointed out that Roseville City Council has not
discussed doing this, but it is always a potential concern in the future.
Having Metro-INETas a joint powers entity does provide members more direct control over
governance of Metro-INET, including costs, personnel, and policies and takes away
uncertainty of the future of Metro-INET.
In 2020, a sub-committee of Metro-INET members met to work on a draft of the joint powers
agreement. Working with Attorney Jim Strommen of Kennedy and Graven, the sub-
committee finalized the JPA document. The sub-committee shared the draft JPA agreement
with the League of Minnesota Cities General Counsel and the League of Minnesota Insurance
Trust staff for their review. They suggested several changes to the document that have been
incorporated into the final versions. Finally, the sub-committee distributed the draft document
to all members so that their specific city/board attorney could review the document. To-date,
we have not received any significant comments that changes the document.
The highlights of the joint powers agreement are as follows:
•The initial members of the JPA will be the current members of Metro-INET
•JPA is planned to become effective on 1/1/2021
•Metro-INET will be governed by a Board of Directors with each member having a
Director and Alternate designated
•Metro-INET board meetings subject to open meeting law
•Each member will have the number of votes equivalent to its share of the budget
•Members will not be allowed to vote if they are in default of their financial obligation
or violation of IT security policies
•Metro-INET board will meet at least four times (Jan., April, July, Oct.) annually
•Metro-INET board will have officers elected to 3-year terms
•Metro-INET board will have power take all action in establishing and managing the
operations of Metro-INET
•Metro-INET board will enter into a contract with a member to serve as the fiscal and
operations agent for the organization
•Metro-INET board will hire an executive director who will be responsible for day-to-
day operations
•The executive director will have broad authority to run the operations of Metro-INET
•The executive director can be terminated by a 2/3 vote of the Metro-INETboard
•The Metro-INET board will establish an executive committee consisting of the 5
board officers. The fiscal agent and Executive Director will serve as ex officio
members of the executive committee in an advisory and non-voting capacity
•The executive committee would meet on a more frequent basis and work on duties as
assigned by the board such as the budget and administrative issues
•The JPA outlines the schedule for the creation and consideration of the annual budget.
•The JPA creates 3 different classes of charges
Packet Page Number 87 of 360
G7, Attachment 1
•Class 1 – Core Services
•Class 2 – Supplemental
•Class 3 – Necessary additional charges
•The class charges are described in more detail as Attachment A of the JPA
•The JPA outlines procedures for members to withdraw from Metro-INET
•JPA creates a Metro-INET “Associate” which is an entity that is receiving a
contractual service from Metro-INET
•The JPA has no termination date but does outline procedures to dissolve the
organization
For 2021, there are no additional costs that will be borne by members by entering into the
JPA. Costs for the transition have been incorporated into the budget numbers given to each
member earlier in 2020. It is expected that starting in 2022, there will be additional
administrative costsfor the JPA. The final financial impact, however, will be decided by the
newly constituted Metro-INET board.

or annual membership dues, as determined by the Board. The amount of Class 2
Charges required to be paid by each Member shall be determined annually by the

Members.

INET to such financial obligation while the Member was with Metro-INET as a Member. In such

or special meeting. All Member withdrawals shall take effect at the end of theapplicable fiscal
year, unless otherwise provided by the Board.

1. REVENUE MANAGEMENT POLICY
It is essential to responsibly manage the
service value to the community. The most important revenue policy guidelines
established by the City Council are for the two major sources of city revenue: property
taxes and fees/charges.
A. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish broad goals to assist the City in managing its
revenue. These goals will consider diversification and stabilization, equity, economic
development, and collections.
i. Diversification
The City will strive to maintain a diversified revenue base to prevent fluctuations in
revenue. Property taxes add stability to the revenue base, but should not be the
sole source of revenue. When possible, the City will seek out new sources of
revenue to diversity the tax base. This could include long-term solutions, such as
franchise fees or additional fees and charges. Short-term solutions should also be
considered, such as a one-time sale of assets.
The City will strive to support policies that promote economic development in the
City to encourage a diversified local economy and expand the tax base.
ii. Equity
The City will strive to ensure that funding is derived from a fair, equitable and
adequate resource base, while minimizing tax differential burdens. Services
having a citywide benefit shall be financed with revenue sources generated from
a broad base, such as property taxes and state aids. Services where the customer
determines the use should be financed with user fees, charges, and assessments
related to the level of service provided.
iii. Economic Development
competitiveness or negatively impact individual choices in the local economy.
be designed to recapture some of the
financial benefits resulting from economic and community development
investments. The City will strive to keep a total revenue mix that encourages
growth and keeps Maplewood economically competitive.
iv. Collections
City staff should engage in vigilant collections of outstanding balances due to the
Packet Page Number 119 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
City. However, the cost of collections should not exceed the marginal extra
revenue obtained or absorb a large percentage of the amount collected. City staff
and collections contractors may write off accounts receivable in amounts of $5.00
or less without Council approval.
B. Property Taxes
When possible, property tax increases should accommodate incremental
adjustments. Further, when discussing property taxes, the City should
simultaneously explore other revenue and expenditure alternatives that will maximize
y to provide services. This may include
considering options such as debt management, fees and charges, cost allocation,
use of reserves, and expenditure cuts.
Possible factors for considering an increase in property tax include:
Maintenance of City services.
Long-term protection of t
Meeting legal mandates imposed by outside agencies.
Maintaining adequate fund balance and reserve funds sufficient to maintain
Funding City development and redevelopment projects that will clearly
result in future tax base increases. The expenditures of development and
redevelopment funds must be in accordance with a defined strategy as
an, Capital Improvement Program
and other Council documents.
Property tax increases to meet other purposes will be based on the following criteria:
A clear expression of community need.
The existence of community partnerships willing to share resources.
C. Service Fees and Charges
The City will consider service fees and charges wherever appropriate for the purposes of
keeping the property tax rate at a minimum and to fairly allocate the full cost of services
to the users of those services. Service fees and charges broaden the base to include tax
exempt properties, which still have municipal costs associated with the property.
Specifically, the City may:
Establish utility rates sufficient to fund both the operating costs and the
long-term depreciation and replacement of the utility systems.
Packet Page Number 120 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
erprise effort, evaluate City services and pursue
actions to accomplish the following:
Find community based partners to share in service delivery.
Make services financially self-supporting or, when possible,
profitable.
Annually review City services and identify those for which charging user
fees are appropriate. These services will be identified as enterprise
services and a policy for establishing fees will be set for each. Included as
part of this process may be a market analysis that compares our fees to
comparable market cities.
Identify some enterprise services as entrepreneurial in nature. The intent
of entrepreneurial services will be to maximize revenues to the extent the
market allows.
Waive or offer reduced fees to youth, seniors, community service groups,
and other special population groups identified by the Council as requiring
preferential consideration based on policy goals.
Selected criteria are used to determine the specific rate to charge for a fee for service.
The approach for establishing the rate criteria is determined by the policy relating to the
fee in the City policies and procedures manual. The rate criteria can be one of five
approaches:
Market Comparison
Attempt to set fees in the upper quartile of the market.
Maximum set by External Source
Fees set by legislation, International Building Code, etc.
Entrepreneurial Approach
Fees will be at the top of the market.
Recover the Cost of Service
Program will be self-supporting.
Utility Fees
A rate study will be updated or reviewed each year.
D. Non-recurring and Volatile Revenues
Non-recurring revenues should be directed towards one-time uses and should not be
relied on to fund ongoing programs. Several one-time revenue sources, such as
intergovernmental transfers, grants, and insurance dividends are outside direct City
Packet Page Number 121 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
control and must be relied upon conservatively. The City Manager and Finance Director
shall ensure that the budget preparation process includes an evaluation of all major non-
recurring revenues, in order to minimize reliance on unpredictable revenues for ongoing
operating costs.
Volatile revenues, such as court fines, interest earnings and building permits can produce
undependable yields and should not be heavily depended on to fund ongoing programs.
High yields from these sources should be treated in a manner similar to non-recurring
revenues. Revenues can be considered volatile if they vary by more than 10% from
budgetary estimates.
Packet Page Number 122 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS POLICY
Effective cash management is essential to good fiscal management.
Investment returns on funds not immediately required can provide a significant
source of revenue for the City. Investment policies must be well-founded and
uncompromisingly applied in their legal and administrative aspects in order to
protect the City funds being invested.
A. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to estab
establish specific guidelines that the City will use in the investment of city funds.
It will be the responsibility of the Finance Director to invest city funds in order to
attain a market rate of return while preserving and protecting the capital of the
overall portfolio. Investments will be made, based on statutory constraints, in
safe, low risk instruments.
B. Scope/Funds
This policy applies to the investment of all city funds available for investment
and not needed for immediate expenditure. The City will consolidate cash
balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings. Investment income
will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
C. Delegation of Authority
Authority to manage the investment program is granted to the Finance Director
who shall act in accordance with established written procedures and internal
controls for the operation of the investment program consistent with this
investment policy. Procedures should include references to: safekeeping,
delivery vs. payment, investment accounting, repurchase agreements, wire
transfer agreements and collateral/depository agreements. No person may
engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this
policy and the procedures established by the Finance Director.
The primary objectives, in priority order, of investment activities shall be safety,
liquidity, and yield:
i. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment
program. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to
ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective
will be to minimize the risk of market fluctuations, such as credit risk and
interest rate risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will be unable
to make their debt service payments to the investors. Interest rate risk is
the risk that rates will (for example) rise while the investments you hold
Packet Page Number 123 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
maturity in this case, they would have to sell the investments at a loss.
ii. Liquidity: The investment portfolio must remain sufficiently liquid to
meet all operating costs that may be reasonably anticipated. The
portfolio must be structured so that securities mature concurrent with
cash needs to meet anticipated demands. Cash needs will be
determined based on cash flow forecasts.
iii. Diversification of instruments: A variety of investment vehicles must
be used to minimize the exposure to risk of loss. The investment portfolio
must be diversified by individual financial institution, government agency,
or by corporation (in the case of commercial paper) to reduce the
exposure to risk of loss.
iv. Diversification of maturity dates: Investment maturity dates should
vary in order to ensure that the City will have money available when
needed.
v. Yield: The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of
attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic
cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity
needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to
the safety and liquidity objectives described above.
D. Oversight
s investment program. The Finance
Director will maintain a more detailed and comprehensive investment policy
based on the principles established by the City Council and consistent with the
most current guidelines within the public sector. On at least an annual basis,
the Finance Director shall provide a status report to the City Council. Annually,

a bank or dealer. At the same time, the selling bank or dealer agrees to
Packet Page Number 124 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
repurchase the securities at the same price plus interest at some agreed-
upon future date. The security purchased is the collateral protecting the
investment.
iv. Prime Commercial Paper: An investment used by corporations to
finance receivables. A short-term (matures in 270 days or less),
unsecured promissory note is issued for a maturity specified by the
purchaser. Corporations market their paper through dealers who in turn
market the paper to investors. The City will only purchase commercial
paper issued by U.S. corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries that has
been rated highest quality (A1, P1 and F1) by two of three rating
agencies.
v. State or Local Government Securities: Any security that is a General
Obligation of any state or local gov
national bond rating service.
vi. Statewide Investment Pools: Statewide investment pools that invest in
authorized instruments according to M.S. §118A.04, such as the
Minnesota Municipal Money Market (4M) Fund.
vii. Money Market Mutual Funds: Money market mutual funds that invest
primarily in U.S. Government and agency issues and repurchase
agreements.
F. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from
personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution and
management of the investment program. Employees and investment officials
shall disclose any material interests in financial institutions with which they
conduct business or that could be related to the performance of the investment
portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking personal
investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is
conducted on behalf of the City.
G. Internal Controls, Audits, External Controls
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal
control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected
from loss, theft, or misuse. Accordingly, compliance with City policies and
procedures should be assured by the Finance Director, and addressed through
the annual audit (CAFR) process.
H. Authorized Financial Institution and Dealer
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes §118.02, the responsibility for
Packet Page Number 125 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET

Council shall be responsible for designating the depositories of the funds.
Depositories shall be selected through a banking services procurement
process, which shall include a comprehensive review of credit characteristics
and financial history by the Finance Director or reliance on selection criteria by
an independent third party. In selecting depositories, the creditworthiness of the
institutions under consideration shall be examined. The City Council shall
designate depositories after a recommendation from staff.
Only approved security broker/dealers authorized in Minnesota Statutes
118A.06 shall be utilized for safekeeping and custody.

officer has reviewed the investment policies and objectives, as well as
applicable state laws, and agrees to disclose potential conflicts of interest or risk
to public funds that might arise out of business transactions between the firm
and the City of Maplewood. All financial institutions shall agree to undertake
reasonable efforts to preclude imprudent trans
J. Collateralization
The City funds must be deposited in financial institutions that provide at least
$250,000 in government insurance protection. At no time will deposits in any
one institution exceed the insured amount unless such excesses are protected
by pledged securities. Pledged securities, computed at market value, will be
limited to the following:
i. United States Treasury bills, notes or bonds that mature within five
Packet Page Number 126 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
years;
ii. Issues of United States government agencies guaranteed by the
United States government;

K. Safekeeping and Custody
When investments purchased by the City are held in safekeeping by a
broker/dealer, they must provide asset protection of $500,000 through the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and the current required
amount of supplemental insurance protection.
L. Diversification
It is the policy of the City to diversify its investment portfolios to eliminate the
risk of loss resulting from the over concentration of assets in a specific maturity,
a specific issuer, or a specific class of maturities.
The portfolio, as much as possible, will contain both short-term and long-term
investments. The City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash
flow requirements. Liquidity is necessary to pay for recurring operations.
Maturities should not be extended beyond the dates necessary to meet these
projected liquidity needs and should be staggered in such a way that avoids
Packet Page Number 127 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
over concentration in a specific maturity sector. Extended maturities may be
utilized to take advantage of higher yields; however, no more than 20% of the
total investment portfolio should extend beyond five (5) years and in no
circumstance should any extend beyond ten (10) years.
The portfolio will reflect diversity by class of maturity and issuer. The following
limits are imposed for investments of a specific class:

portfolio shall consist of commercial paper investments. Maximum
holdings for any one issuer of commercial paper will be 5% of the total
portfolio.
ii. Certificates of Deposit: At any one time, no more than 70% of the
total portfolio shall consist of certificates of deposit. Maximum holdings
for any one issuer of a certificate of deposit will be $250,000, or the

unless collateral is provided in accordance with this policy and
Minnesota Statute Chapter 118. Maximum holdings for any one issuer
of collateralized certificates of deposit will be 5% of the total portfolio.
iii. Government Securities: At any one time, no more than 70% of the
total portfolio shall be invested in obligations of the federal government
or its agencies.

3. RESERVES POLICY
A. Purpose
It is important for the financial stability of the City to maintain reserve funds for
unanticipated expenditures or unforeseen emergencies, as well as to provide
adequate working capital for current operating needs to avoid short-term
borrowing. The Reserve Policy of t
Debt Management Policy. The City may choose to consider paying cash for
capital projects that can be anticipated and planned for in advance. Therefore
in part, based on capital project plans.
In establishing an appropriate fund balance, the City needs to consider the
demands of cash flow, capital asset purchases, need for emergency reserves,
ability to manage fluctuations of major revenue sources, credit rating and long-
term fiscal health.
B. Classifications
Fund balances in governmental funds are reported in classifications that
disclose constraints for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These fund
balance classifications apply to governmental funds:
i. Nonspendable: Consists of amounts that are not in spendable form,
such as inventories and prepaid items.
ii. Restricted: Consists of amounts related to externally imposed
constraints, established by creditors, grantors or regulatory agencies.
iii. Committed: Consists of amounts that have internally imposed
constraints, established by resolution of the City Council. The committed
amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Council
removes or changes the specified use by resolution of the City Council.
iv. Assigned: Consists of amounts that are intended to be used for a
specific purpose; intent can be expressed by the City Council or by a
delegate of the City Council.

D. Fund Balance Policies
i. General Fund: The General Fund is established to account for all
revenues and expenditures which are not required to be accounted
for in other funds. Revenue sources include property taxes, license
and permit fees, fines and forfeits, program revenues,
intergovernmental revenues, investment earnings, and transfers in.
including the operations of general government, public safety, and
public works. The General Fund may have committed fund balances
at year-end for purchase order encumbrances and budget carryovers.
The General Fund may have a portion of its fund balance classified
as nonspendable if there are long-term receivables, inventories, or
prepaid items. The General Fund is the only fund that can have any
s unassigned fund balance in the
General Fund shall be maintained at a minimum level of 41.67%, with
a desired level of 50%, of annual general fund operating
expenditures.
ii. Special Revenue Funds: Special revenue funds are used to
account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that
are restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes
other than debt service or capital projects. Governmental accounting
standards require that substantial inflows of revenues into a special
revenue fund be either restricted or committed in order for the fund to
be considered a special revenue fund. The City will maintain fund
balances in the Special Revenue Funds at a level which will avoid
issuing short-term debt to meet the cash flow needs of the current
operating budget.
iii. Debt Service Funds: Debt service fund balances are considered
restricted. The resources being accumulated in the funds are for
payments of principal and interest maturing in current and future
balance in the Debt Service fund shall be at a
minimum level of 50% of annual debt service expenditures. Because
the majority of annual debt service is paid on February 1 and August
1 of each year, funds must be available for payment of February 1
debt service.
iv. Capital Project Funds: Capital project fund balances are
considered restricted or committed. The resources being
accumulated are for current and future projects. Capital project funds
are used to account for and report financial resources that are
restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditures for capital assets.
The fund balances in these funds within the Capital Improvement
budget vary annually based upon the timing of construction projects.
The City will maintain reserves in the Capital Project Funds at a
Packet Page Number 132 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
minimum level sufficient to provide adequate working capital for
current expenditure needs. The maximum amount of reserves should
include the amount necessary to pay for future capital projects.
Future capital projects must be identified and quantified in a written
finance plan for the fund in
v. Enterprise Funds: The City will maintain reserves in the Enterprise
Funds at a minimum level sufficient to provide adequate working
capital for current expenditure needs. Generally, the City shall strive

4. OPERATING BUDGET POLICY
A. Purpose
The operating budget is the annual financial plan for funding the costs of City
services and programs. The general operating budget includes the General
Fund, Special Revenue Funds, and Capital Project Funds. Enterprise
operations are budgeted in separate Enterprise Funds.
B. Balanced Budget
The City Manager shall submit a balanced budget for the General Fund in which
appropriations shall not exceed the total of the estimated revenues and
available fund balance. Balanced budget is defined as a budget in which current
revenues plus net operating transfers and one-time use of excess reserves will
be sufficient to support budgeted expenditures. One-time revenues or use of
excess reserves will not be used to fund on-going expenditures. One-time
funding sources shall only be used to fund capital improvements, equipment,
one-time expenditures, or to improve fund balance. The City will provide for all
current expenditures with current revenues. The City will avoid all budgetary
procedures that balance current expenditures at the expense of meeting future
enditures, rolling over short-term debt,
and using reserves to balance the operating budget.
C. Budget Period
he calendar year. The City legally adopts an annual
budget for the General Fund. Budgets for Special Revenue Funds, Debt
Service Funds, Capital Project Funds, Enterprise Funds, and Internal Service
Funds are adopted for management purposes only.
D. Basis of Budgeting
The modified accrual basis will be used for all Governmental Funds in the
budget. The accrual basis will be used for the budgets of the Enterprise Funds.
The basis of budgeting is the same as the
audited financial statements.
E. Budget Amendment Process
Budget appropriations are by department total within the General Fund rather
than by account. Budget changes that involve the transfer of appropriations
among accounts only require the approval of the City Manager or designee.
Council approval is required for budget changes that involve a transfer of
appropriations between funds or from contingency accounts. The budget
changes can be made at any Council meeting. For budget changes that can be
approved by the City Manager or designee, the department head must complete

a budget transfer request form on which the following is indicated: budget
transfer amount, accounts involved, purpose, justification, date approved by
department head, and department head initials. This form is submitted to the
Finance Director for review. Upon approval by the Finance Director, a copy of
the form is given to the department head.
F. Long-Term Financial Forecasts
The City Manager will coordinate the development of the five-year capital
improvement plan budget and ten-year outlook with the development of the
operating budget. Operating costs associated with new capital improvements
will be projected and included in future operating budget forecasts. The budget
will provide for adequate maintenance of the capital plant and equipment, and
for their orderly replacement. The impact on the operating budget from any new
programs or activities being proposed should be minimized by providing funding
with newly created revenues whenever possible.

6. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN POLICY
A. Purpose
The demand for services and the cost of buildi
continues to increase. The City cannot afford to accomplish every project or meet every
service demand. Therefore, a methodology must be employed that provides a realistic
projection of community needs, the meeting of those needs, and a framework to support
City Council prioritization of those needs. That is the broad purpose of the CIP.
B. Scope
The CIP includes the scheduling of public improvements for the community over a five-
year period and takes into account the communi
expenditure for physical facilities of government. Typical expenditures are the cost of
land acquisition or interest in land, construction of roads, utilities and parks. Vehicles and
equipment can be covered in a CIP or covered separately under an equipment schedule.
The CIP is directly linked to goals and policies, land use, and community facility sections
of the Comprehensive Plan since these sections indicate general policy of development,
redevelopment, and maintenance of the community.
C. CIP Development Process
Compile and prioritize projects. Staff will consolidate and prioritize
recommended projects into the proposed Capital Improvement Plan.
Devise proposed funding sources for proposed projects. Proposed funding
sources will be clearly stated for each project.
Project and analyze total debt service related to the total debt of the City.
A debt study will be provided, summarizing the combined property tax impact
of all the existing and proposed debt.
On an annual basis, the City Council will evaluate the proposed CIP for the following:
Project Prioritization;
Funding Source Acceptability;
Acceptable Financial Impact on Tax Levy, Total Debt, and Utility Rate Levels;
The City should annually consider a variety of financing options, including
issuing equipment certificates, cash financing, tax-exempt leasing, or direct
bank investment as appropriate financing mechanisms to meet capital needs.

7. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY POLICY
A. Purpose
The Economic Development Authority (EDA) was created by the City Council,
who acted to appoint the members of the City council to serve as the Board of
Commissioners. Under M.S. Chapter 469, Economic Development, cities are
permitted to establish an EDA. M.S. § 469.107 gives authority to the City
Council to levy a tax up to 0.01813 percent of estimated market value in the
City. The Revenue Management Policy of the City, as included in this Financial
Management Plan, sets policy for when a tax levy may be considered. The EDA
is subject to the statutory levy limits of the City. This policy section establishes
the amount of tax levy that will be considered for the EDA.
B. Funding
The City Council may annually appropriate money to the EDA from a tax levy or
other available source. The appropriation can be equivalent to the maximum
that could be provided by a tax levy for economic development purposes. The
annual tax levy shall be set based on the amount needed when combined with
other available sources achieves the funding level set by this policy.
To provide other sources (non-tax) of funding to the EDA, the City Council shall
annually review the fund balance in the General Fund to determine whether
sufficient unreserved fund balance is available for transfer from the General
Fund to the EDA. The decision shall be made at the time the annual EDA tax
levy is established. If other sources of revenue are not available, the EDA may
request the tax levy at the maximum allowed.
C. Procedure for Using Funds
Expenditures may be made from the EDA based on the following criteria:
1. The EDA appropriates the funds as part of the annual budget, or
2. The EDA authorizes an amendment to the EDA budget outside the
annual appropriation process.

8. DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
A. Purpose
The purpose of the debt policy is to ensure that debt is used wisely and that
future financial flexibility remains relatively unconstrained. Debt is an important
mechanism to fund capital expenditures. It can reduce long-term costs due to
inflation, prevent lost opportunities, and equalize the costs of improvements to
present and future constituencies. Debt management is an integral part of the
financial management of the City. Adequate resources must be provided for
the repayment of debt, and the level of debt incurred by the City must be
effectively controlled to amounts that are manageable and within levels that will
ng. A goal of debt management is to
stabilize the overall debt burden and future tax levy requirements to ensure that
issued debt can be repaid and prevent default on any municipal debt. A high
debt level places a financial burden on taxpayers and can create economic
problems for the community. The debt
outstanding debt does not structure, provides
manageable limits on debt, and allows for the best possible credit rating.
B. Policy
Wise and prudent use of debt provides fiscal and service advantages. Overuse
of debt places a burden on the fiscal resources of the City and its taxpayers.
The following guidelines provide a framework and limit on debt utilization:
i. Conditions for Issuance
a. The City will confine long-term borrowing to capital
improvements, equipment, or projects that have a life of at
least five years and cannot be financed from current revenues.
b. Net general obligation debt will not exceed the statutory limit
of 3% of the estimated market value of taxable property in the
City, as required by M.S. § 475.53.
c. The City shall use a competitive bidding process for the sale
of debt unless the use of a negotiated process is warranted
due to adverse market conditions, timing requirements, or a
unique pledge or debt structure. The City will award
competitively issued debt on the true interest cost (TIC) basis.
d. The City should strongly consider market conditions (i.e.,
interest rates, construction market) when planning for the
issuance of debt. The City should consider issuing debt, rather
than paying cash, when interest rates are lower.
Packet Page Number 141 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
e. Debt should be structured in a manner that distributes costs
and benefits appropriately. Intergenerational equity aspects
should be considered when financing capital assets. The debt
payments should be distributed over the useful life of the asset.
f. Long-term forecasts should support the assumption that the
City will be able to repay the debt without causing financial
distress.
g. Interfund borrowing for periods of more than one year shall
only be undertaken for capital expenditures. A payment
schedule for the borrowed amounts shall be established by the
City Council. Interest charges for interfund loans utilizing tax
increment bonds will be in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes, §469.178, Subd 7.
ii. Restrictions on Debt Issuance
a. Where possible, the City will issue revenue (including general
obligation backed revenue) or other self-supporting type bonds
instead of general obligation bonds.
b. The City will not use long-term debt for current operations.
c. The City should not issue debt with a longer amortization
period than the life of the asset being financed.
d. When possible, the City should use pay-as-you-go financing
for equipment and other minor capital assets.
iii. Financial Limitations
a. The City will strive to keep the total maturity length of general
obligation bonds below 20 years and structure the bonds to
allow for retirement of at least 50% of the principal within 2/3
of the term of the bond issue.
b. Bond rating categories shall be used as a means of assessing
and maintain a ratio of governmental funds debt service to
expenditures that will result in an adequate, or better than
adequate, debt and contingent liability profile rating from the
rating agencies.
c. The City will strive to limit the amount of net direct outstanding
debt at or below the range of $900 not to exceed $1,450 per
capita.
Packet Page Number 142 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
d. The City will maintain regular communications with bond rating
agencies about its financial condition and will follow a policy of
full disclosure in every financial report and bond statement.
The City will comply with Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) reporting requirements.
e. The City is committed to providing continuing disclosure to
certain financial and operating data and material event notices
as required by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Rule 15c2-12. The Finance Department shall be responsible
for the preparation of all disclosure documents and releases
required under Rule 15c2-12.
f. When feasible, the City will use refunding mechanisms to
reduce interest costs and evaluate the use of debt reserves to
lower overall annual debt service. Refunding of outstanding
debt shall only be considered when present value savings of
at least 3.0% of the principal amount of the refunded bonds are
produced, according to Minnesota statutes. Savings from
refundings will be distributed evenly over the life of the
refunded bonds unless special circumstances warrant a
different savings structure.
g. Retirement funds will be examined annually to ensure
adequate balances and funding progress.
h. The City should maintain the highest credit rating possible.
iv. Professional Service Providers
a. Municipal financial advisors should be selected through a
process of evaluating formal proposals every 5 years.
Selection should be based on, but not limited to, experience
with the type, size, and structure of the bonds typically issued,
ability to commit sufficient time to accomplish necessary tasks,
and lack of potential conflicts of interest.
b. Proposals for bond counsel should be solicited and considered
on an occasional or as-needed basis. Consideration should
be given to experience with municipal debt, ability to commit
sufficient time to accomplish necessary tasks, and lack of
potential conflicts of interest.
c. The City should strategically maintain good relations with
rating agencies and a positive perception in the marketplace.

vi. Remedies. In consultation with Bond Counsel, the Finance Director

Director shall become acquainted with the Tax Exempt Bonds
Voluntary Closing Agreement Program described in Notice 2008-31,

with respect to outstanding tax-exempt bonds.
vii. Continuing Disclosure Obligations. In addition to its post-issuance
compliance requirements under applicable provisions of the Code
and Treasury Regulations, the City has agreed to provide continuing
disclosure, such as annual financial information and material event
notices, pursuant to a continuing disclosure certificate or similar
ng Disclosure Document
Counsel and made a part of the transcript with respect to each issue
of bonds of the City that is subject to such continuing disclosure
requirements. The Continuing Disclosure Documents are executed
by the City to assist the underwriter
their obligations under Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulation, 17 C.F.R. Section 240.15c2-12, as in effect and
Packet Page Number 153 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
interpreted from time to time
disclosure obligations of the City are governed by the Continuing
Disclosure Documents and by the terms of Rule 15c2-12. The
Finance Director is primarily responsible for undertaking such
continuing disclosure obligations and to monitor compliance with such
obligations.
viii. Other Post-Issuance Actions. If, in consultation with Bond Counsel,
Municipal Advisor, Paying Agent, Rebate Analyst, the City Manager,
the City Attorney, or the City Council, the Finance Director determines
that any additional action not identified in this Policy must be taken by
the Finance Director to ensure the continuing tax-exempt status of
any issue of governmental bonds of the City, the Finance Director
shall take such action if the Finance Director has the authority to do
so. If, after consultation with Bond Counsel, Municipal Advisor,
Paying Agent, Rebate Analyst, the City Manager, the City Attorney,
or the City Council, the Finance Director and the City Manager
determine that this Policy must be amended or supplemented to
ensure the continuing tax-exempt status of any issue of governmental
bonds of the City, the City Manager shall recommend to the City
Council that this Policy be so amended or supplemented.
ix. Taxable Governmental Bonds. Most of the provisions of this Policy,
other than the provisions of Section 7, are not applicable to
governmental bonds the interest on which is includable in gross
income for federal income tax purposes. On the other hand, if an
issue of taxable governmental bonds is later refunded with the
proceeds of an issue of tax-exempt governmental refunding bonds,
then the uses of the proceeds of the taxable governmental bonds and
the uses of the facilities financed with the proceeds of the taxable
governmental bonds will be relevant to the tax-exempt status of the
governmental refunding bonds. Therefore, if there is any reasonable
possibility that an issue of taxable governmental bonds may be
refunded, in whole or in part, with the proceeds of an issue of tax-
exempt governmental bonds then, for purposes of this Policy, the
Finance Director shall treat the issue of taxable governmental bonds
as if such issue were an issue of tax-exempt governmental bonds and
shall carry out and comply with the requirements of this Policy with
respect to such taxable governmental bonds. The Finance Director
shall seek the advice of Bond Counsel as to whether there is any
reasonable possibility of issuing tax-exempt governmental bonds to
refund an issue of taxable governmental bonds.
x. Qualified 501(c)(3) Bonds. If the City issues bonds to finance a
facility to be owned by the City but which may be used, in whole or in
substantial part, by a nongovernmental organization that is exempt
Packet Page Number 154 of 360

from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code as a
result of the application of Secti
h is exempt from federal income
taxation under Sections 103 and 145 of the Code and applicable
Treasury Regulations. Although such qualified 501(c)(3) bonds are
not governmental bonds, at the election of the Finance Director, for
purposes of this Policy, the Finance Director shall treat such issue of
qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as if such issue were an issue of tax-exempt
governmental bonds and shall carry out and comply with the
requirements of this Policy with respect to such qualified 501(c)(3)
bonds.

constantly evolving. The Minnesota
Supreme Court has followed a broad approach and has generally concluded
eans an activity that meets ALL of the following
standards:
The activity will primarily benefit the community as a body.
The activity is directly related to functions of government.
The activity does not have as its primary objective the benefit of a
private interest whether profit or not-for-profit.
This policy is intended to provide guidelines regarding which expenditures
are for public purposes and authorized
budget process, and which expenditures are not considered falling within the
public purpose definition and are therefore not allowed. There is a public
benefit in ensuring high employee productivity and morale.
B. Responsibility
The City Manager is the responsible authority overseeing all City
expenditures and as such is the chief purchasing agent for the City.
Responsibility for administering this Public Purpose Expenditure Policy has
been delegated to the Finance Department. Further, all officers and
employees authorized by their Department to make purchases for the benefit
of their respective departments are responsible for complying with this policy
and corresponding procedures.
C. Policy
Expenditures of public funds must comply with the public purpose standards
defined above. When reviewing an expenditure to verify the standards have
been met, the City Manager, or his/her designee, should consider the time
of day the event is held, the business purpose of the event, whether the
event was intended to attract non-City employees, the frequency of the
event, and the reasonableness of the cost. The following guidelines address
specific examples of public expenditures, but examples are not meant to be
all-inclusive.

13. CAPITAL ASSETS POLICY
A. Purpose
It is essential for financial reporting and cost accounting purposes that City
departments follow a uniform policy for capitalizing expenditures. Capital
expenditures are used to acquire assets or improve the useful life of existing
assets. The purpose of the capital assets policy is to provide a plan for the
replacement and purchase of capital assets without significantly impacting the
annual property tax levy.
B. Capitalization Thresholds
The City will maintain a schedule of individual capital assets with values in
excess of the amounts shown below and an estimated useful life of greater than
two years:
Asset Type Threshold
Land and land improvements Always
Construction in Progress Always
Easements $ 50,000
Buildings and building improvements $ 50,000
Infrastructure $100,000
Machinery and Equipment $ 10,000
Intangible Assets $ 50,000
Capital Leases $ 10,000
Capital assets purchased through the issuance of debt should be capitalized
and depreciated over their estimated useful life, regardless of cost.
C. Recording Capital Assets
Capital assets should be recorded and reported at historical cost. When the
historical cost of a capital asset is not practicably determinable, the estimated
historical cost of the asset should be determined by appropriate methods.
Estimated historical cost should be identified in the records, including the basis
of determination. Donated capital assets should be recorded at fair value at the
time of acquisition.
D. Contributed (Donated) Capital
Acceptance of contributions of capital assets shall be in accordance with
applicable Minnesota Statutes and shall be approved by the City Council.
Contributed capital assets should be recorded and depreciated in the same
manner as all other capital assets. In addition, capital assets acquired through
contribution from an outside source should be identified in the records of the
City, including documentation of the actual or estimated value and the basis of
determination. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation for contributed
Packet Page Number 165 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
capital shall be recorded separately from depreciation on other capital assets.
E. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets possess three characteristics:
Lack of physical substance,
Initial useful life in excess of one year, and
Nonfinancial in nature.
Examples of intangible assets include easements, land use rights, patents,
trademarks, copyrights, or software that is purchased, licensed or internally
generated.
An intangible asset should be recognized in the statement of net position only if
it is identifiable. This means that the asset can either be:
Sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, or
Arose from contractual or other legal rights, regardless of whether those
rights are transferable or separable.
Donated intangible assets should be recorded at the fair market value as of the
donation acceptance date.
F. Improvements
The City will maintain its assets to protect its capital investment and to minimize
future capital expenditures.
Capital asset improvement costs should be capitalized if:
The costs exceed the capitalization threshold, and
One of the following criteria is met:
The value of the asset or estimated life in increased by 25% of the
original cost or life period, or
The cost results in an increase in the capacity of the asset, or
The efficiency of the asset is increased by more than 10% of its
current value.
Otherwise the cost should be classified as a repair and maintenance expense
under the appropriate department and expense category.
Packet Page Number 166 of 360
H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
G. Depreciating Capital Assets
Capital assets will be depreciated over their estimated useful lives unless they
are:
Inexhaustible (i.e., land and land improvements, certain works of art and
historical treasures, or
Construction work in progress.
For financial reporting purposes, the straight-line method will be used to
calculate depreciation with no salvage value. No depreciation will be taken in
the year of acquisition and a full year of depreciation will be taken in the year of
retirement.
For depreciation purposes, the following guidelines will be used to estimate the
useful life of the asset:
Buildings and Building Improvements Useful Life

H. Historical Treasures and Works of Art
Historical treasures and works of art are items which are considered
inexhaustible and held for public exhibition, educational purposes, or research
in enhancement of public service instead of financial gain. Examples are
paintings, sculptures, photography, maps, manuscripts, musical instruments,
recordings, film, furnishings, artifacts, tools, weapons, and other memorabilia.
These items are generally considered inexhaustible and are, therefore, not
depreciated.

14. PROCUREMENT POLICY
Introduction:
The purchasing procedures are required because they:
1. Ensure purchases conform to legal requirements;
2. Prevent expenditures from exceeding the budget;
3. Provide proper documentation for purchases;
4. Prevent payment for items not received;
5. Ensure accurate accounting;
6. Provide payment of all bills within 35 days of receipt; and
7. Prevent duplicate payments on the same invoice.
All purchasing by local government units is regulated by State law. Because of these laws and
because of the unique nature of budget and tax levy procedures for funding City government, all
City employees must conform to these purchasing policies and procedures. The Finance
Department will review and approve all purchases and employee reimbursements and will ensure
that all purchases and payments are legal, properly coded, and well documented.
If the purchase is over $50,000 Council approval is required prior to the purchase. However,
Council approval is not required on purchases over $50,000 for postage, ATM funds, regular
utility bills, insurance premiums, payments due to other units of government or payments
required to be made before the next regular meeting of the Council to avoid endangering
public safety, damaging public or private property, or interrupting City services.
Items under $50,000 (materials, supplies, and equipment for day-to-day use) must be purchased
at the best price available subject to appropriate guidelines and procedures. A minimum of two
verbal quotations should be obtained whenever possible on purchases of $10,000 to $29,999
and a minimum of two written quotations should be obtained whenever possible on purchases
of $30,000 to $49,999. These written quotations must be attached to a requisition (or payment
authorization form) which is submitted to the Finance.
For purchases between $50,000 and $174,999, the City Manager or designee will determine
if the purchase will need to be made on a formal bid basis and meet all procedural
requirements or if it will require two or more written quotations from prospective vendors.
All purchases of merchandise, materials, equipment, and repair or maintenance services totaling
$175,000 or more (except emergency purchases and purchases made using cooperative
purchasing) must be purchased on a formal bid basis and meet all procedural requirements.
The Council must approve all bid awards.
All purchases must be handled through use of appropriate procedures and forms.

PURCHASES FROM EMPLOYEE-OWNED COMPANIES
Before making a purchase in excess of $200 from, or entering into a contract with, a business
entity owned wholly, or in part, by an employee of the City of Maplewood, City employees must

purchase to confirm that the decision to make a purchase from, or enter into a contract with, the
business entity owned wholly, or in part, by the City employee is based on rational economic
factors including, but not limited to, price and availability of goods and services. Two price quotes
are not needed when services are purchased from an independent contractor who is a recreation
referee, official or instructor.

one source on the basis of competitive bids or competitive quotations.
Cooperative purchasing is intended to save government agencies time and money when
purchasing common products. Of course, there are no guaranteed savings, but cooperative
buying power is a time-tested method of savings.

ETHICS
Ethical business standards shall govern all procurement transactions. Infractions of City policy
shall be reported to the City Manager or Human Resources Director. Disciplinary action for those
policies, up to an including termination of employment.
City personnel shall not solicit or accept a significant gift from a supplier or prospective supplier.
A significant gift is defined as an item, service, favor, monies, credits, or discounts not available
to others which could influence purchasing decisions, and also may include the payment of travel
trivial items as a matter of courtesy, but may not solicit them. Acceptance of social invitations to
occasional business meals, entertainment, and hospitality will be subject to prudent judgment as
to whether the invitation places or appears to place the recipient under any obligation, the
appropriateness of the occasion, frequency, and choice of facilities. Questions about the value
of a gift or appropriateness of an invitation should be referred to your supervisor to ensure
It is also inappropriate for end users to make purchasing decisions based on marketing strategies
by vendors that provide gifts or gift cards which could benefit them personally. Often the pricing
offered, as well as future pricing, is much higher than pricing available through the cooperative
purchasing contracts or other vendors. If a gift or gift card is received, it is the property of the
City.
It is the policy of the City of Maplewood that its employees conduct the affairs of the City in
accordance with the highest ethical, legal, and moral standards. An employee must not be in a
position to make a decision for the City if his or her personal, professional, or economic interests
(or those of an immediate and extended family member) may be directly influenced or affected
by the outcome.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
The City of Maplewood is committed to developing mutually beneficial relationships with small,
minority-owned, women-owned, disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and local business enterprises.
Maplewood has developed an initiative to create opportunity for vendors to market their products
to the City and encourage departments to offer opportunities to such vendors.
TECHNOLOGY PURCHASES
All technology purchases, including hardware and software purchases and agreements, must be
reviewed and approved by the IT Director before purchasing. The IT Department will coordinate
and facilitate all technology purchases and agreements for individual departments and the
enterprise as a whole. New software and technology, providing enhanced capabilities not
previously deployed by the City, must also be approved by the City Manager. These procedures
level.
PROMPT PAYMENT OF CITY BILLS
State law required municipalities to pay obligations with a standard payment period except where
good faith disputes exist. A city whose council has at least one regularly scheduled meeting per
month must pay bills within 35 days of receipt. A city or joint powers organization which does not
have at least one regularly scheduled meeting per month must pay bills within 45 days of receipt.
The date of receipt is defined as the completed delivery of the goods or services or the satisfactory
installation or assembly, or the receipt of the invoice for the delivery of goods, whichever is later.
Cities have the responsibility to notify vendors of invoice errors within 10 days of receipt. The
statute also requires cities to calculate and pay interest of 1½ percent per month on bills not paid
within the standard payment period. State law specifies $10 as the minimum monthly interest
penalty payment for the unpaid balance of any one overdue bill or $100 or more. For unpaid
balances less than $100, the city shall calculate and pay the actual interest penalty due the
vendor.
In cases of delayed payments due to good faith disputes with vendors, no interest penalties
accrue. Where such delayed payments are not in good faith, the vendor may recover costs and
attorneys' fees. Statute applies to all purchases of goods, leases and rents, and contracts for
services, construction, repair and remodeling entered into on or after January 1, 1986. Purchases
or contracts for service with a public utility or telephone company are not subject to the
requirements of this statute. (Statute No. 471.425)
All City employees that receive bills should promptly send them to the Finance Department with
the appropriate forms so that they can be paid within 35 days of receipt. Checks for the payment
must be submitted to the Accounts Payable
Technician in the Finance Department by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. If payment of the bill by
regular accounts payable processing would result in a late payment charge, a special check will
be issued when requested by the department making the purchase, provided the late payment
charge is over $2.00.

H1, Attachment 4
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA 2021 BUDGET
STATE SALES AND USE TAX
Purchases made by cities are generally exempt from sales and use tax. To make tax-exempt
purchases, the City must provide the seller with a completed Form ST3. Use tax is similar to the
sales tax and is the same rate. The use tax must be paid when the City makes taxable purchases
without paying sales tax. An example of this would be a taxable purchase from a vendor outside
of Minnesota who does not charge the City sales tax. In this case, the City has to pay use tax to
the State of Minnesota and complete a tax return.
In order to meet this legal requirement, the department making the purchase should calculate the
use tax. Then in the coding section of the appropriate form for the purchase, the use tax amount
should be added to the same account that the purchase is coded to. In addition, the use tax
amount should also be listed in the coding section as a negative amount and coded to account
101-2031. For example, if a taxable purchase was made from an out-of-state vendor for
Department/Program 202 and no sales tax was charged, the account coding would be as follows:
$106.88 101-202-000-4110
(6.88) 101-2031
As a result, the vendor would be paid $100 and $6.88 would be paid to the State of Minnesota.
PURCHASE DISCOUNTS
Some vendors offer a discount of 1% to 2% for payment of their invoices within the discount
period. If this discount is over $2.00, a special check should be requested. However, occasionally
the department that purchased the goods sends the invoice and/or receipt of goods to the Finance
Department after the discount period has expired. In these cases, the purchase discount lost will
be added to the total purchase price and coded to the appropriate expenditure account.
FINAL PAYMENTS ON CITY CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
The State of Minnesota requires the filing of Form IC-134 prior to the final payment of any contract
involving employees under code section 270C.66 CONTRACTS WITH STATE: WITHHOLDING.
"No department of the state of Minnesota, nor any political or governmental subdivision of
the state, shall make final settlement with any contractor under a contract requiring the
employment of employees for wages by said contractor and by subcontractors until
satisfactory showing is made that said contractor or subcontractor has complied with the
provisions of section 290.02. A certificate by the commission of revenue shall satisfy this
requirement with respect to the contractor or subcontractor."
Before final payment can be made on any contract which involves the payment of wages by a
contractor of the city to any employee, or subcontractors with employees that performed work on
a job for the city, the contractor must furnish to the city a copy of Form IC-134 that has been
certified by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. These forms should be kept on file in your
department with all other contract documents for possible review by the auditors. Contractors and
subcontractors should obtain the IC-134 forms from the State of Minnesota.
Subcontractors or sole contractors must provide their certified IC-134 form to the prime contractor
when their portion of work is completed. The prime contractor then submits all certified IC-134
forms to the City when requesting their final payment.

Section 6.11 Estimated Impact of Tax Increment Financing
Page 3 shows the estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions if the maximum projected retained captured net tax capacity
of the TIF District was hypothetically available to the other taxing jurisdictions. The City believes that there will be no
adverse impact on other taxing jurisdictions during the remaining life of the TIF District, since the estimated captured tax
capacity is not expected to increase as a result of this modification, and the proposed developments would not have occurred
without the establishment of the TIF District and the provision of public assistance. A positive impact on other taxing
jurisdictions will occur when the TIF District is decertified and the development therein becomes part of the general tax base.
The fiscal and economic implications of the proposed tax increment financing district, as pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.175, Subdivision 2, are listed below.
1.The total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the remaining life of the district is estimated to be
$506,976.
2.To the extent any future projects in TIF District 1-4 generate any public cost impacts on city-provided services such
as police and fire protection, public infrastructure, and borrowing costs attributable to the district, such costs will be
levied upon the taxable net tax capacity of the City, excluding that portion captured by the District.
3.The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to school district levies, assuming
the school district’s share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is estimated to be
$100,316.
4.The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the
county’s share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same is estimated to be $216,206.
5.The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to city levies, assuming the city’s
share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same is estimated to be $151,265.
6.No additional information has been requested by the county or school district that would enable it to determine
additional costs that will accrue to it due to the development proposed for the district.

Purpose of the Amendment to the Tax Increment Financing Plan
The City has established Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-5 within Municipal Development District No. 1. The
City is not enlarging the boundaries of either Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-5 or Municipal Development
District No. 1. The City hereby modifies the Tax Increment Financing Plan to authorize the use of future tax
increments from Tax Increment District No. 1-5 to be used to fund additional project costs as included in Section 6.7.
The City is modifying the Tax Increment Financing Plan to facilitate the financing of future TIF eligible project costs
within the TIF District and/or Development District.
Attached are the Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions Report, Assumptions Report, and Projected Tax
Increment Report. This modification is not expected to impact any other sections of the Development Program and
TIF Plan.

Section 6.11 Estimated Impact of Tax Increment Financing
Page 3 shows the estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions if the maximum projected retained captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to the other taxing jurisdictions. The City believes that there
will be no adverse impact on other taxing jurisdictions during the remaining life of the TIF District, since the estimated
captured tax capacity is not expected to increase as a result of this modification, and the proposed developments
would not have occurred without the establishment of the TIF District and the provision of public assistance. A
positive impact on other taxing jurisdictions will occur when the TIF District is decertified and the development therein
becomes part of the general tax base.
The fiscal and economic implications of the proposed tax increment financing district, as pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 2, are listed below.
1.The total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the remaining life of the district is estimated to
be $386,807.
2.To the extent any future projects in TIF District 1-5 generate any public cost impacts on city-provided
services such as police and fire protection, public infrastructure, and borrowing costs attributable to the
district, such costs will be levied upon the taxable net tax capacity of the City, excluding that portion captured
by the District.
3.The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to school district levies,
assuming the school district’s share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is
estimated to be $76,539.
4.The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to county levies,
assuming the county’s share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same is
estimated to be $164,959.
5.The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to city levies, assuming
the city’s share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same is estimated to be
$115,411.
6.No additional information has been requested by the county or school district that would enable it to
determine additional costs that will accrue to it due to the development proposed for the district.

PLANS FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICTS NO. 1-4 AND 1-5.
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the
Section 1. Recitals.
Financing Plans therefor on December 23, 1991 and May 24, 1993, respectively.
1.02. It has been proposed that the City modify the Development District Program (the
District No. 1, all pursuant to and in accordance with applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 469.124 to 469.133 and Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, all inclusive, as amended (the
"Acts"). Generally, the substantive change to the Tax Increment Financing Plans for TIF Districts No.
1-4 and 1-5 is an increase the budgets for additional affordable housing within the community and in
order to accommodate potential developer repayments.
1.03. The Council has investigated the facts and has caused the Modifications to be
prepared.
1.04. The City has performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the
adoption of the Modifications.
1.05 The City Council has fully reviewed the contents of the modified Development Program
and the Modifications and has on December 14, 2020 conducted a public hearing thereon at which
the views of all interested persons were received orally or in writing.
Section 2. Findings for the Modifications.
2.01. The Council hereby finds that the Modifications are intended, and, in the judgment of
this Council, the effect of such actions will be to provide an impetus for development and to
accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Modifications, which are hereby incorporated herein.
2.02 The Council reaffirms the findings previously made with respect to TIF Districts No. 1-
4 and 1-5.
2.03. The Modifications conform in all respects to the requirements of the Acts and will help
fulfill a need to develop an area of the City which is already built up, to provide housing opportunities,
to improve the tax base and to improve the general economy of the State and thereby serves a public
purpose. The City believes these benefits directly derive from the tax increment assistance provided
under the TIF Plan. A private developer will receive only the assistance needed to make this
development financially feasible. As such, any private benefits received by a developer are incidental

North Fire Station Construction
Estimated Start Date: 01/01/2021
Estimated Completion Date: 12/31/2021
The new station is a proposed 30,000 square foot fire station that will be built on the existing site
of the North fire station. The proposed station gives the department the opportunity to consolidate
functions, replacing two of the City's outdated and deteriorating stations. The station will include
proper housing and safety considerations for employees while also ensuring that the department
has adequate space for current and future apparatus, an adequate training and community space
that can also serve as an emergency operations center and will include the relocation of all of the
department's administrative functions. The facility will focus on function and operations,
sustainability and community pride and will accommodate departmental growth for the next 30
years. The new station will feature 7 drive through apparatus bays, public/support areas,
adequate dorms and living areas and will include state of the art technology that focuses on a
reduction of the impacts of cancer and heart disease in the fire service.
In 2017, the Fire Department hired a third party consultant to conduct a Fire Station Location and
Operational review. One of the recommendations from the study was to consolidate the North and
Central Fire Stations, demolish the existing North Fire Station and rebuild on the existing site.
Following the study, the department hosted a series of community meetings and gathered
community feedback via surveys and other digital platforms. In 2019, the department hired an
architectural firm to conduct a space needs assessment. The needs assessment included feedback
from stakeholders at all levels of the organization. The recommendations of the needs assessment
include a 30,000 square foot fire station to meet the needs of the department now and modestly
into the future. The total project cost established by the space needs assessment is $10,700,000.
Overall, work on this project spans from 2011 to current. The department in partnership with
other City staff have worked diligently to come to a solution that will allow the department to
continue to meet the community’s needs.

Category:Public Safety
Contact Person: EMS Chief
Useful Life:30 years
Project Number:FD21.05
Budget Impact Comments:The new station will be paid for through the issuance of
bonds, utilization of the fire equipment fund and proceeds from sales of property. While the
costs of the project are significant, the fire station project will reduce the department's
overall capital footprint, while eliminating inefficiencies and maintenance costs of operating
three stations, two of which are outdated and in need of serious repairs, renovation and/or
reconstruction. Estimated savings in excess of $40,000 per year.
How much will this project cost?
Capital Costs $13,100,000

election officials implemented the use of signature envelopes with the absentee ballots and
Packet Page Number 271 of 360

applications. The volume of votersat 90 Plato Blvd Wwas such that it was not possible for election
officials to update SVRS with all of the ballots on Saturday. Staff secured the unprocessed ballots in
appropriately labeled boxes. One box containing 318 of these ballots was mistakenly placed with
processed ballots. This error was discovered November 13, 2020 by Ramsey County election
judges.
Ramsey County Canvassing Board acknowledged this error on November 18, 2020 and notified
each candidate. A petition was filed for this error to be corrected.
On November 19, 2020, the petition was granted and Ramsey County Ballot Board opened the 318
absentee ballots and accepted and counted 307. Specific to Maplewood, 19 ballots where part of
those counted.
Ramsey County has provided an addendum Abstract of Votes Cast detailing the results from the
November 3, 2020 General Election. The following is a summary with the original count for
reference:

The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on November 9, 2020. The initial 60-day
review deadline for a decision is January 8, 2021. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the
city is allowed to take an additional 60 days if necessary to complete the review.
Background:
Lah Htoo, of Hosanna Karen Baptist Church, is proposing to purchase the building at 1818 Gervais
Court East and convert the existing building into a church. Hosanna Karen Baptist Church is a
newer congregation, splitting from another church, and seeking a permanent home. The church
consists of 450 members.
Earlier this year this property, and the site to the east, were approved by the city to redevelop into a
senior housing building, but this project is no longer moving forward. The church is not proposing
any changes to the site or building at this time.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Because of the senior housing project that was approved earlier this year, the property at 1818
Gervais Court East is currently guided by the 2040 Comprehensive Plan as High Density
Residential. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan has guided churches in Maplewood as Institutional.
The applicant is seeking to reguide the property at 1818 Gervais Court to Institutional.
Conditional Use Permit
Site Conditions
Before any certificates of occupancy are issued by the city the following items will need to be
addressed:
The applicant must repair any areas of the parking lot that are currently in disrepair.
All parking spaces must be clearly striped.
All trash and recycling receptacles must be screened and may require building an
enclosure.
Meet all building occupancy requirements.
Parking
The church is proposing a gathering space to accommodate up to 450 people. For a church, city
ordinance requires one parking space per every four seats – meaning 113 spaces are required. The
site currently has approximately 110 marked parking spaces, but the site has plenty of room to add
additional marked parking spaces. The applicant should be required to submit to staff a seating
chart for the main gathering space showing how 450 seats will be accommodated and a site plan
showing the location of all required parking spaces.

Citizen Comments
Staff surveyed the 14 surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the proposed site for their
opinion about this proposal. Staff received two responses as shown below.
1. We thoroughly would encourage you to proceed with granting the conditional use permit for
the Hosanna Karen Church. We believe that they will be good neighbors and also will be a
great addition to the Maplewood community at large. In my opinion, the benefits of having
them in this location will be good for Maplewood. (Mike Smith, Lead Pastor, Redeeming Love
Church, 2425 White Bear Ave North)
2. I am responding to your request for comments on the Hosanna Karen Baptist Church's
conditional use permit. I think it would be a great location for it and support it. (Joe Gilbert,

Adopting an Environmental Purchasing Policy (EPP) demonstrates the City’s commitment to buying
goods, materials, services, and capital improvements in a manner that reflects Maplewood’s core
values of fiscal responsibility, social equity, community, and environmental stewardship. In
addition, establishing environmental purchasing policies is a GreenStep Cities best practice and will
help the City achieve its energy and sustainability goals.
Background
Environmental purchasing is the practice of ensuring that all purchases prioritize goods and
services that have a lower impact on the environment and human health when compared to
competing products. Environmental purchasing considers metrics such as pollution, toxicity, waste
generation, water and energy use, recycled content, and greenhouse gas emissions in addition to
price when determining which products to purchase. As a part of a purchasing policy, it is intended
Packet Page Number 348 of 360
J4
to shift purchasing decisions toward more sustainable alternatives while remaining fiscally
responsible.
Maplewood Environmental Purchasing Policy History
2009: The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy approved by the City Council in 2009
outlined several strategies for creating more energy-efficient City operations, including the adoption
of an EPP.
2011: The Green Team and Environmental and Natural Resources (ENR) Commission drafted the
original EPP which was approved by the Maplewood Management Team in April 2011.
2019: The City’s Sustainability Intern Meg Hannasch researched environmental purchasing trends,
interviewed City purchasers, reviewed the document with the GreenStep Cities MPCA contacts,
and proposed amendments to the City’s 2011 EPP. The Green Team and the ENR Commission
reviewed the updates and offered comments and feedback.
June 17, 2020: The Green Team finalized the EPP revisions and recommended approval of the
amended document.
August 17, 2020: The ENR Commission recommended approval of the EPP with revisions.
October 21, 2020: The Green Team recommended approval of the final EPP revisions.
Environmental Purchasing Policy Revisions
The 2011 EPP has been revised as follows: 1) the document has been simplified; 2) ambiguous
language and definitions have been removed; 3) strategies that don’t pertain to purchasing have
been deleted; 4) a table of contents has been added; 5) updates have been made to the policy
based on - recommendations by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, GreenStep Cities EPP
guidelines, and other sustainable purchasing best practices. Following is the updated EPP outline
and descriptions:
