COMPARABLE WORTH UPDATE/REVIEW
Administrative Assistant Duffy and the City Administrator will
make a presentation on the status of Comparable Worth and suggest
a proposed pay plan and implementation schedule for consideration
by the City Council. The Personnel Committee and City
Coundilmembers Egan and Wachter may participate at various times
in the presentation.i The Personnel Committee. is encouraging the
adoption of a pay plan and implementation during January 1987.
Please refer to a memo that was carefully structured by
Administrative Assistant Duffy on behalf of the City
Administrator.
• PROPOSED 1987 PUBLIC UTILITIES FUND BUDGET
The Director of Public Works completed his draft of the 1987
budget for all public utility accounts which include water,, sewer
and streetlighting. -The budget draft was reviewed in detail by
the City Administrator pertaining to all expenditure accounts and
the Director of Finance who projected the revenues. Please refer
to a memo that was prepared by the City Administrator and budget
documents as prepared by the City Administrator and Director of
Finance.
1987 FEE SCHEDULE/PROPOSED CHANGES
The Director of Finance has coordinated all fee schedules on
behalf of ,the City 'and is proposing a number of change's to be
implemented effective January 1, 1987. Enclosed is a copy of the
Fee Schedule listing all 1986 fees and those fees proposed as
changes in 1987. The Director of Finance will review the list of
changes, allowing for input and changes, if desired, by the City
Council.
OTHER BUSINESS
Uniform Local Government Election Day - Mayor Blomquist suggested
that the City Council discuss a change in the odd year election
schedule to that ofleven year to conform with state and national
® elections. Mayor B;lomquist has asked that this be added as an
additional item to the Special Workshop on Monday.
• LMC -Policy -Conference - Mayor Blomquist and the City
Administrator attended the League of Minnesota Cities Policy and
Priority meeting in Sit. Paul on Thursday, November 20, 1986. The
policies and priorities, as presented to the City Council,
recently, for the most part did not change. Under Development
Strategies, the Municipal Service Districts was reprioritized
from a B to an A while State Administrative Costs under Revenue
Sources was reduced to a B. Also, the Time and Distance
Residency requirement was changed from a B to an A while the
Veterans Preferance was reduced from an A to a B. This year the
Policy Committee enacted a new procedure requiring that any
motion to enhance the priority of a proposed policy to an A
priority shall also propose an A policy or proposed policy to be
reduced below an A priority. It was the purpose of the LMC Board
to keep the number of A priority policies at the same number
proposed by the Conference Legislative Committee. The City of
Eagan supported several communities in an effort to increase the
Transportation priority from a B to an A, which calls for state
and federal subsidies to be paid directly to local municipalities
whenever a state highway is turned back to that municipality.
Unfortunately, there were no A priorities the group was willing
to reduce and, due to the policy, the Transportation priority
remained at a B.
® Dakota County Administrative Facilities - A letter was sent to
Joe Harris, Chairman of the Dakota County Board of Commissioners,
explaining the City of Eagan's position and interest in the
Dakota County Administrative Facilities being moved to this part
of the County. A copy of that letter is enclosed for your
review. Administrative Assistant Hohenstein will be attending a
public hearing on Monday evening on behalf of the City Council
and City Administrator to express our 'interest which is explained
in the letter.

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
• FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 1986
SUBJECT: COMPARABLE WORTH UPDATE FOR 11-24-86 SPECIAL CITY
COUNCIL MEETING
BACKGROUND
Equity Study:
As the Council is aware, during the summer. of 1984, the firm of
Arthur Young Associates was contracted by the City of Eagan to
perform a number of personnel related studies and to present the
results to the City of Eagan. There were several objectives to
be completed. The first was to establish a basis by which both
internal and external pay equity couldbe obtained. Another
objective was to develop a system by which personnel could be
evaluated for the purposes of determining salaries. Please note
that two very different evaluations were to be developed. The
first would value positions for the purposes of establishing
salary ranges forvar o s values. The second would value
performance for the purposes of being one of ,the factors which
• would place individual employees within the salary range as
established for their position.
Comparable Worth Law:
After the City had determined these objectives., the state
legislature passed the comparable worth law. This law required
all cities to establish a valuing system for all positions
existing in a city, to compare salary levels for the various
values and to develop a plan by which any inequities between male
and female dominated classes would be evened out. This was
basically what the City was already attempting to do in the first
part of the Arthur Young study. Arthur Young stated that the
comparable worth, study could be incorporated into their study and
this was done.
MAMA Study:
Then, the Metropolitan Area Management Association (MAMA) decided
to sponsor a joint study for comparable worth purposes and MAMA
hired Control Data Business Advisors to perform this study as a
multi -governmental study. Because of the large number of
government entities participating in the study (over 100), the
City of Eagan decided to also participate in this study in order
to be able to possibly equitably compare Eagan positions with
those of other cities. The City was attempting to achieve the
most complete and fair ratings for the positions within its
jurisdiction.
The City has been participating in the MAMA study for the past
two years. Obviously, when the study was begun, it was expected
that results would be received within a year. However, because •
of the large amount of not only government entities but of actual
government employees involved in all the procedures, the process
has taken longer than expected.
Briefly, first questionnaires were developed with the aid of city
personnel listing all the tasks that were performed by employees
of a city. Then questionnaires were administered to individual
employees to determine the individual tasks and the percent of
time spent on these tasks in each position in the City of Eagan
(as well as to employees in all the other cities). These
questionnaire answers were fed into a computer and the results
were reviewed by employees and supervisors a number of times
until what was assumed to be the most accurate results were
achieved.
Then, all the tasks were individually valued by hundreds of
actual city employees for complexity, importance and
unfavorability. The values given each of these factors were
mathematically combined by a computer and a total task value was
the result for each of the thousands of tasks in the study. From
these task values and from the percent of time an employee spends
on a task, a sum of a total position value was reached. The City
Council has received a copy of the value hierarchy for the City
of Eagan previously.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS •
City of Eagan Point Value Hierarchy:
The point value hierarchy for positions within the City of Eagan
was released to all employees in an all -employee meeting on
September 22, 1986.,The point values were as received from
Control Data Business Advisors for the MAMA comparable worth
study. The most common reaction and question asked concerned how
the results will affect compensation.
Final 1986 Review of TSP's:
In order for the comparable worth point value hierarchy to be
valid, it is necessary that the Time Spent Profile (TSP) for each
position be as accurate as possible. Therefore, employees were
encouraged to examine their TSP's if they had any concerns about
their positions' point values'. To date, only a small number of
employees have requested changes in their TSP's; and for the most
part, these changes involve "fine tuning" of percentages of time
spent on individual tasks and will not involve major point
value changes. Indeed, of the positions reviewed to date, two
remained the same, one had a one point adjustment, one a two
point adjustment and one a three point adjustment. It was
important to initiate this final review process before any
decisions were reached on compensation based on the point values •
in order that any request for review be based on the validity and
accuracy of the TSP and not upon the compensation for the point
values.
Review of Other Cities' Status
The point at which other cities have arrived in the comparable
worth process varies greatly. Some 'cities which have not placed
much priority on comparable worth are not only just beginning to
consider how to implement comparable worth but are also just
beginning to review their point hierarchies, only now realizing
how vital and important accurate Time Spent Profiles are to
achieving accurate results. Other cities are at the point we are
and are actively establishing equity compensation plans. The
majority of cities are somewhere in between.
Some cities interpret the law to mean that some sort of
implementation must be started before August 1, 1987, i.e., a
first adjustment with more to follow. At least one city intends
to have total adjustment by August 1, 1987 in order to avoid any
sort of lawsuit charging that not enough adjustment and not a
true good faith effort had been made. Again, most cities are in
between and intend to make some sort of substantial adjustment by
August 1, 1987 in a good faith effort, with the remaining
adjustments to follow in a timely manner.
Many cities already had developed some sort of equitible
compensation plans before comparable worth was established.
Therefore, those cities will probably have to make less
adjustments. They will merely have to adapt their existing plans
• to conform to comparable worth values. As you remember, this is
exactly what the City of Eagan was attempting to do three years
ago when the Council approved an internal equity/pay plan study.
Because the City of Eagan employees have been waiting a longer
time to receive the results of an equity study and because the
City of Eagan has been actively performing any steps in
completing the comparable worth study in a timely manner,
implementation in the City of Eagan could be, with the Council's
approval, among the first in the Metropolitan area. Action was
taken to implement the first phase adjustment for clerical and
dispatchers on October 15, 1986. It was agreed by the City
Council that all other employees would receive the same
recognition, which is now deemed as a retroactive adjustment.
St. Paul has already implemented comparable worth for its
clerical workers, including total adjustment with a two year
retroactivity period. Some other cities are considering
retroactive adjustments or total adjustments. The majority are
considering phasing in over a period of one to three years.
PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MEETINGS
The Personnel Committee of the City Council has met twice since
the point value hierarchy was released by the City Council for
employee perusal (in addition to the meetings held prior to that
release). At those meetings, they have examined in depth a
number of issues which will utimately have to be decided. by the
City Council as a whole. The following discussion looks at each
of those issues in more detail.
0
Types of Salary Ranges:
The members of the Personnel Committe studied the process of
using the point value hierarchy to set up salary ranges for the
City of Eagan as a whole. At this stage when we speak of salary
ranges,, we are not speaking of dollar amounts but of how many
different ranges there will be and how many individual point
values will be included in each range.
There is no absolute formula concerning how salary ranges must be
set up, how many there should be or how many points should be in
each. The City of Eagan is free to develop a system which best
fits its needs. However, it is important that each range contain
the same number of points. You cannot arbitrarily declare that
point values 36 through 40 should be one range; then 40 and 41
the next range and then 42 through 52 the next, etc.
Therefore, different consistent point value divisions were
examined by the Personnel Committee. The value hierarchy was
examined in terms of making each point a different range and then
in terms of having each two points be a range, each three points,
etc., all the way up to using ten point ranges. After much
study, it was determined that using four point ranges or five
point ranges would be most suitable to the City's hierarchy. And
of the two, the Personnel Committee favored the five point ranges
as being most equitable. In addition, all possible combinations
of points were looked at in each of the proposed point divisions.
Proposed range point divisions will be presented at the Council
meeting on Monday, along with reasons (pro and con) for their
selection.
Steps Within a Salary Range
After salary ranges are established, steps within each range
should be established. These steps are usually equal divisions
within each range and are usually established by equally dividing
the range into a certain number of steps which vary from each
other by having each step be a certain percentage above the
previous one.
The number of steps used is arbitrary, except, again, there
should be the same number of steps used in each range. Enclosed
on the next page is an example of a ten step range. Using this
many steps per range gives the City more leeway in assigning any
given position to a step. The criteria as shown for determining
placement of steps are suggestions of various possibilities. The
final system as determined by the City may contain some or all of
the shown criteria, as well as additional criteria not shown.
The example will be discussed at the City Council meeting.

Assignments of Dollar Amounts to Ranges and Steps:
Before dollar amounts can realistically be assigned to ranges and •
steps, it is necessary to decide how many points will be
contained in each range and how many steps will be contained in
each range. However, we will have some preliminary examples of
how dollar amounts could be set, based on the recommended five
point ranges containing ten steps each, and of what effect these
dollar amounts will have as far as increasing the total
compensation package for the City of Eagan. These examples will
be available at the City Council meeting on Monday.
Salary range dollar amounts are usually established by making the
midpoint of each range a certain percentage above the midpoint of
the previous range. Again, it is important that the percentage
be consistent. However, the one exception to this is that the
salary ranges for exempt employees (i.e., employees who do not
receive compensation for "overtime"") should be a certain
percentage above those of nonexempt employees (who receive time
and one-half compensation for overtime hours). If this is not
done, some adjustment -within each range should be made, i.e., an
exempt employee automatically is placed one or two steps higher
than a non-exempt employee, all other factors being equal.
The width of dollar amounts within ranges should have
consistency. This is accomplished by having all ranges be the
same percentage of the midpoint dollar amount.
A tool toward establishing the percentage amount each successive
range will increase is to study Eagan's current compensation
trendlines. Another tool is to establish proposed ranges and to
study how they affect Eagan's total compensation package. Both
methods have been used.
The Personnel Committee has spent a great deal of time studying
various possible ranges and how they affect total compensation.
Examples will be presented at the Council meeting on Monday. One
main objective in selecting a range will be to establish equity
within the City's pay plan. If the ranges set are too low,
equity will not be established and a realistic good faith effort
to conform with the comparable worth law will not be
accomplished. If the ranges set are too high, the City will be
adversely affected financially and wage rates will be artifically
created (which may not be suitable). Therefore, the ideal range
will be somewhere in the middle. It will establish realistic
comparable worth wage rates for those who are "underpaid" and
will present a system by which those who are "overpaid" will
eventually be paid an equitable rate with those who are not.
The ranges as shown will be based on an established midpoint
dollar figure for the lowest range. All other dollar figures
will be arrived at by figuring consistent percentages for the
steps within the range and for each successive range itself. The •
only variables which will affect how the overall compensation
ranges turn out are the midpoint dollar figure, the percentage
rate (one consistent) used to establish each step in a range and
the percentage figure (one consistent) used to establish each
successive range's dollar figures. It must be stressed that the
lowest range's midpoint dollar
result in ranges which represent
compensation plan.
Implementation Schedule
figure must be high enough to
a realistic comparable worth
The most frequent question asked by personnel in the City of
Eagan is when comparable worth will go, into effect. It will be
necessary for the City Council to determine:
1. How long a period is desirable for.total implementation.
(One year, two years., three years, etc.)
2. On what dates each stage adjustment will be made.
(January 1 and July 1 of each year, only January 1 of
each year, January 1 and May 1 and September l of each
year, etc.)
Various examples of plans and preliminary implications of each
were discussed at the Personnel Committee meetings. The plans
which were selected for recommendation will be presented at the
City Council meeting on Monday.
Two major considerations must

Becauseof comparable worth studies, limited equity adjustments
have been made in compensation during the past three years
because the administration was waiting to consider the results of
the comparable worth study. Therefore, it would be desirable to
make the adjustments fairly substantial. This would indicate not
only a good faith effort on the City's part for implementation of
comparable worth, but also would alleviate any concerns of
employees who have been asked to wait for any adjustments during
the past three years due to comparable worth. It would also help
to alleviate additional inequities which were caused by the long
waiting period.
Since it is expected that comparable worth adjustments, for the
City of Eagan will not be made 100% until a point two to three
years from now, only a token adjustment at the present would be
difficult to defend. Indeed, the City would be aided by a more
substantial adjustment because it would have a larger pool of
qualified applicants to choose from and would be likely to hire a
more qualified applicant and a better employee for the City if
able to offer a higher wage for those positions which are now
"underpaid."
As previously stated, Clerical and Dispatcher contracts have a
clause calling for a 20% comparable worth adjustment as of
40 October 15, 1986. Other employees know of this clause. It would
be advisable to make the 20% adjustment effective for all City
employees as of that date, both for morale reasons and for
consistency. The increase will only impact the employees who are
underpaid, given the pay plan/point value results.
Then, an additional adjustment could be made effective January 1,
1987 for all non-union employees affected by comparable worth. •
The union employees would then have to negotiate a provision
regarding January 1, 1987 implementation during bargaining for
their total 1987 contracts. Please note that the Maintenance
Workers have settled a contract for 1987 which calls for a 4%
increase (cost of living). However, they would not be due a
comparable worth increase due to the results of the study and so
would not be affected by whatever dollars are received by other
employees.
In order to be fair to non-union employees, any adjustment as of
1-1-87 should be subject to adjustment in the future depending
upon union negotiations. Any comparable worth adjustments made
in 1987 would also be subject to adjustment in 1988 when the City
could consider both performance and market adjustments if so
desired. By delaying these adjustments until 1988, the City will
be able to study how other cities may or may not utilize market
data and how any lawsuits against compensation plans utilizing
market considerations proceed through the courts. The City also
will have time to design and implement a performance appraisal
plan.
If monies are available, it could be desirable to make a 30%
adjustment of the difference between actual pay and the
comparable rate effective for 1987. The determination if this is
possible will be depend upon the compensation plan selected by
the City Council and by the amount of money presently available •
for this purpose. The City Council in Eagan has been foresighted
and has wisely budgeted money for this purpose for the past two
years in a contingency fund.
Examples of proposed implementation schedules will be shown
Monday night. Again, the amount of money available should be
considered when choosing a schedule.
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
No final placement of the point values for the Administrative
Assistants in Administration has been made to this point. When
the first results were received, it was determined by the MAMA
master committee that because Administrative Assistants, Assis-
tant City Administrators and City Administrators perform some of
the same tasks and each of those tasks currently was only valued
for the City Administrator level, it would be necessary to estab-
lish value amounts for those tasks for each of the lower,posi-
tions relative to their amount of authority and responsibility.
Therefore, formulas were worked out to adjust the task values for
different levels of responsibility. Benchmark ranges were also
set for an entry level Administrative Assistant and an Assistant
City Administrator. The City Administrator and Personnel
Committee have discussed the effect of adjusting the point totals .
for the two Administrative Assistants by these methods. They are
recommending to the City Council that the two positions each be
placed somewhere between 90 and 95 points on the value hierarchy.
There will be further discussion regarding this item at the City -
Council meeting on Monday.
• CONCLUSION
The following items require imput and/or decisions from the City
Council at the meeting on Monday:
1. Establish standard number of points for salary ranges.
a. Five point ranges ares recommended.
2. Establish number of steps within each range.
3. Establish criteria for ,placement of employee on the
appropriate step.
4. Assign dollar amounts to ranges and steps.
a. Establish lowest range midpoint amount.
b. Establish % increase between each step.
C. Establish % increase between each range.
5. Establish implementation schedule.
6. Establish point hierarchy placement for each of the
Administrative Assistant positions (Administration).

• MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: NOVEMBER 14,, 1986
SUBJECT: PUBLIC UTILITIES FUND
The proposed 1987 Public Utilities Fund Budget which includes water,
sewer and street lighting is estimated at 3.5 million dollars. All
expenditure and revenue accounts have been examined by the Director
of,Public Works, Director of. Public Works and this office. The
Director of Finance has reviewed all operating expenses taking into
consideration system growth caused by •new water and sewer accounts
and is forecasting an operating and capital budget that corresponds
to the growth. The Director of Finance has evaluated revenues and
based on new accounts generating additional sale of water and sewer
has forecast the revenues.
The budget summaries for water, sewer and street lighting illustrate
a total budget excluding depreciation expense and a total budget
including depreciation expense so that non-operating expenses are
included as a part of this public enterprise budget.
Major capital construction items such as new well construction and
the related are not included in the budget. These items are always
approved by special action of the City Council and funded through
available funds primarily within the water department. The
following is a breakdown of personnel expenses for both water and
sewer and then an individual review for budgetary requests in each
the water and sewer departments.
Personnel
The City has hired individuals to work for a period of 3 months to
perform routine maintenance needs that can only be performed during
seasonal peak periods. The department has found the use of
temporary personnel to be valuable in the past and would like to
propose 4 individuals to work a period of 3 months each during 1987.
The number of individuals and period of time is doubled from 1986.
The Director of Public Works is proposing a full-time utility
maintenance person. With the increasing size of the system and the
construction work load continuing at an increasing pace, it has
become necessary to expand the maintenance personnel by one person.
The department has attempted to meet demands that placed on the ever
expanding water and sewer and system by providing shift schedules
and overtime, however the need for an additional person is still
evident. This person would fill job duties including the following:
E
Final inspection of new construction
Cleaning of sanitary sewer lines
Repair water main breaks
Meter repairs
Meter readings
Pumphouse repairs
Preventative maintenance
Snowplowing
The second full-time position is that of secretary to the new
maintenance facility. With the number of personnel located within
that building it will be necessary to provide additional secretarial
support to assist maintenance operations and daily work direction
for clerk -typists and other routine administrative matters. These
personnel will be distributed proportionately of 808 water and 208
sewer for budgetary purposes.
Operating Account/Water Department
F_]L
For the most part the budget remained constant or reflect a small
percentage increase due to inflation and growth of departmental
activities. Some accounts are expenditure driven directly and
proportionate to the number of new residential accounts which
require a certain increase. Other accounts were not adjusted at all
in 1985. Those accounts that require an increase or reflect a
decrease were singled out for review. •
4221 Motor Fuels - An additional amount 'is budgeted to reflect two
(2) new vehicles.
4226 - The Director of Public Works is proposing a $2,000 decrease
due to continued refinement of treatment plant operations and
assuming a normal year while projecting a 108 increase in population
and related water usage. These chemicals include KMN04, fluoride
and chlorine.
4235 Landscape Material and Supplies - The $4500 increase is for
landscaping around well houses and one-fourth of the new maintenance
facility which will be performed by City crews.
4312 Professional Services Engineering - The major portion of this
increase is the $15,000 that was authorized for completion of the
Energy Management Study and power consumption. This study is saving
the City considerable dollars which will be reflected in the next
two accounts.
4375 Electricity Well Booster Station - A $5,000 decrease is
proposed which includes a reduction of $30,000 in cost savings from
the Energy Management Study and a $25,,000 increase for two new
wells.
4376 Gas Service - A $23,000 decrease is proposed based on new
operational procedures recommended by the Energy Management Study.
4383 Buildings Repair - A $6,000 increase is proposed to replace the
roof on well houses no. 1 and 4.
4392 - This is budgeted to account for 258 of the four month rental
cost until completion of the new maintenance facility.
Capital Outlay
4510 Land Improvements - $5,000 is budgeted for site acquisition for
well no. 10.
4520 Buildings - A $39,700 sum is budgeted to reflect the payback
agreement by the City Council for the new maintenance garage
facility.
4560 Office Furnishings and Equipment - Include a desk, chair and
computer equipment for the new maintenance facility in the amount of
$8300.
4570 - Includes a pipe locater, electrical timers and power factor
correction equipment totaling $10,700. The pipe locater is used for
locating water mains and service lines in construction sites, the
electrical use timers allow the City to schedule various well
pumping in off-peak electrical rate periods, saving demand charges
and the two power factor correction equipment are for wells 6 and 7
that are experiencing poor energy conversion reducing the efficiency
of those wells and resulting in increased power costs.
• 4580 - Two pieces of equipment are proposed; a 1/2 ton pick-up and
a 1 ton dump truck which a portion of the cost is budgeted within
the sewer department.
Sewer Department
Personal services represent 208 of the total expenditure for
personal services in the utility fund. Please refer to the water
department for explanation regarding new manpower.
Supplies, Repair and Maintenance, Other Charges and Services
The total increase for total supplies, repair and maintenance is
approximately $1000 and represents a small inflation adjustment and
increases in the growth of new accounts. ,
4310 Professional Services, General - The ongoing televising of
sanitary sewer lines. The Public Works Director is proposing 5
miles at $1200 per mile.
4379 - The City will realize a $22,888 decrease based on credits
provided by the•MWCC for passed over payments.
4382 - A $4000 decrease is proposed as a result of a stablizing
program of root control in sewers after the first two of start-up
and catch-up costs. The Director of Public Works is proposing a
contamination -process for root control at $4000 and other repairs to
sewage mains and equipment at $8000.
4392 - This $6000 expenditure is 258 of the rental requirement of
the AT&T building for four months until the new maintenance facility
is completed.
Capital Outlay
4520 Buildings - The $39,700 payment is per City Council, agreement
as a payback for the new municipal maintenance facility expansion
project.
4560 Office Furnishing and Equipment —This represents the sewer
department's cost of office equipment, including a desk, chair and
phone.
4570 - Includes a gas detector for sewer work and a cement mixer to
be used in manhole restorations.
4580 = Includes the sewer department's split for 1/2 ton pick-up and
1 ton dump truck that was described in the water department budget
and also a trailer in the amount of $2000 that will be used to carry
manhole rings, sand, cement, water and tools, keeping streets clear
of working materials.
Permanent Transfer (4417)
The permanent transfer amounts for 1987 are budgeted at $157,000 for
water and $79,000 for sewer. This transfer is made only for the
purpose of allowing the consolidation of budgeting and accounting
for certain personnel in the general fund. These personnel costs
were previously charged on a complicated basis in both the utility
fund and general fund. The LOGIS utility billing costs are also
covered by this transfer. This transfer does not generated excess
revenues for the general fund.
Debt Service
Debt service costs budgeted for 1987 payments on the debt related to
the treatment plan are $602,760, of which $125,000 is, principal,,
$477,160 is interest and $600 is paying agent/trustee fees. Since
it is only a balance sheet transaction, the principal payment is not
included with the other expenditure accounts on the budget pages.
It is included in rate calculations because it is a required
expenditure.
Summary
There are no new programs being proposed in the water and sewer
department for 1987. The Energy Management Study that was
authorized in 1986 has proven to be extremely beneficial to the
department providing a significant annual savings in gas and
electrical consumption: Capital outlay and manpower is required to
meet the growing demands of our public utility operations.
The.MWCC charges are continuing to increase from $173,000 in 1976 to
the proposed $1,168,232 .in 1987. The', increase is due to the
discharge of sludge on land rather than into the river, the purchase
of an additional interceptor and the volume of dwelling units and
commercial establishments that have been constructed during the past
11 years.
The 1987 proposed .utility fund budget is presented for your
consideration.

Re: Public Hearing on Dakota County Administrative Facilities
Dear Mr. Harris:
As you know, the. City of Eagan is extremely interested is the issue
of Dakota County's Administrative Office Facilities. Unfortunately,
the Eagan City Council has scheduled a special work session on the
evening of November 24 and will be unable to attend the public
hearing on the matter that same night. Jon Hohenstein,
Administrative Assistant in our office, will attend on the City's
behalf to make comment as may be appropriate.
The City strongly supports the Board's general purpose of providing
County services in Western Dakota County. The Western Court
Facility, County Libraries and Planning Services locations in this
area have improved the efficency and effectiveness of our employees
through the convenience of proximity.
The logical support for the relocation of additional services in the
growing population centers is obvious. The .same arguments about
transportation, population and efficiency which placed the County
seat in Hastings now apply to the western Dakota County growth
communities. Transportation, constituency and service delivery
considerations suggest the importance of the location of certain
services where they can best serve the public.
This does not imply exclusive relocation of all services nor any
need to relocate the County seat. Rather it shows the need for a
balanced approach to service provision in an evolving portion of the
metropolitan area. It is not an either - or issue. It is one of
how best to serve the residents of Dakota County. The City of Eagan
will do everything in its power to assist in the clarification of
these issues and in the establishment of county services where they
can benefit the largest number of County residents.

As a possible location of the County Administrative Building or
additional satellite services, the City of Eagan ideally suits the
citizen proximity and access needs of County government. We will be
frank; we do not propose to offer an extensive incentive package as
an inducement for such facilities. We will rely, however, on the
City's history of cooperation with the County in the development of
other facilities as a basis for consideration of County offices. If
a site within the City of Eagan is among those given final
consideration, the City would be receptive to those means which
would best suit the County's needs to secure and develop that
location.
I appreciate this opportunity to make comment on behalf of the City
of Eagan. If you have any questions about this correspondence, Mr..
Hohenstein will represent the City at the public hearing and I can
be reached at the Eagan City Offices. Thank you for your kind
attention to this matter.
sincerely,

COMPARABLE WORTH UPDATE/REVIEW
Administrative Assistant Duffy and the City Administrator will
make a presentation on the status of Comparable Worth and suggest
a proposed pay plan and implementation schedule for consideration
by the City Council. The Personnel Committee and City
Coundilmembers Egan and Wachter may participate at various times
in the presentation.i The Personnel Committee. is encouraging the
adoption of a pay plan and implementation during January 1987.
Please refer to a memo that was carefully structured by
Administrative Assistant Duffy on behalf of the City
Administrator.
• PROPOSED 1987 PUBLIC UTILITIES FUND BUDGET
The Director of Public Works completed his draft of the 1987
budget for all public utility accounts which include water,, sewer
and streetlighting. -The budget draft was reviewed in detail by
the City Administrator pertaining to all expenditure accounts and
the Director of Finance who projected the revenues. Please refer
to a memo that was prepared by the City Administrator and budget
documents as prepared by the City Administrator and Director of
Finance.
1987 FEE SCHEDULE/PROPOSED CHANGES
The Director of Finance has coordinated all fee schedules on
behalf of ,the City 'and is proposing a number of change's to be
implemented effective January 1, 1987. Enclosed is a copy of the
Fee Schedule listing all 1986 fees and those fees proposed as
changes in 1987. The Director of Finance will review the list of
changes, allowing for input and changes, if desired, by the City
Council.
OTHER BUSINESS
Uniform Local Government Election Day - Mayor Blomquist suggested
that the City Council discuss a change in the odd year election
schedule to that ofleven year to conform with state and national
® elections. Mayor B;lomquist has asked that this be added as an
additional item to the Special Workshop on Monday.
• LMC -Policy -Conference - Mayor Blomquist and the City
Administrator attended the League of Minnesota Cities Policy and
Priority meeting in Sit. Paul on Thursday, November 20, 1986. The
policies and priorities, as presented to the City Council,
recently, for the most part did not change. Under Development
Strategies, the Municipal Service Districts was reprioritized
from a B to an A while State Administrative Costs under Revenue
Sources was reduced to a B. Also, the Time and Distance
Residency requirement was changed from a B to an A while the
Veterans Preferance was reduced from an A to a B. This year the
Policy Committee enacted a new procedure requiring that any
motion to enhance the priority of a proposed policy to an A
priority shall also propose an A policy or proposed policy to be
reduced below an A priority. It was the purpose of the LMC Board
to keep the number of A priority policies at the same number
proposed by the Conference Legislative Committee. The City of
Eagan supported several communities in an effort to increase the
Transportation priority from a B to an A, which calls for state
and federal subsidies to be paid directly to local municipalities
whenever a state highway is turned back to that municipality.
Unfortunately, there were no A priorities the group was willing
to reduce and, due to the policy, the Transportation priority
remained at a B.
® Dakota County Administrative Facilities - A letter was sent to
Joe Harris, Chairman of the Dakota County Board of Commissioners,
explaining the City of Eagan's position and interest in the
Dakota County Administrative Facilities being moved to this part
of the County. A copy of that letter is enclosed for your
review. Administrative Assistant Hohenstein will be attending a
public hearing on Monday evening on behalf of the City Council
and City Administrator to express our 'interest which is explained
in the letter.

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
• FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 1986
SUBJECT: COMPARABLE WORTH UPDATE FOR 11-24-86 SPECIAL CITY
COUNCIL MEETING
BACKGROUND
Equity Study:
As the Council is aware, during the summer. of 1984, the firm of
Arthur Young Associates was contracted by the City of Eagan to
perform a number of personnel related studies and to present the
results to the City of Eagan. There were several objectives to
be completed. The first was to establish a basis by which both
internal and external pay equity couldbe obtained. Another
objective was to develop a system by which personnel could be
evaluated for the purposes of determining salaries. Please note
that two very different evaluations were to be developed. The
first would value positions for the purposes of establishing
salary ranges forvar o s values. The second would value
performance for the purposes of being one of ,the factors which
• would place individual employees within the salary range as
established for their position.
Comparable Worth Law:
After the City had determined these objectives., the state
legislature passed the comparable worth law. This law required
all cities to establish a valuing system for all positions
existing in a city, to compare salary levels for the various
values and to develop a plan by which any inequities between male
and female dominated classes would be evened out. This was
basically what the City was already attempting to do in the first
part of the Arthur Young study. Arthur Young stated that the
comparable worth, study could be incorporated into their study and
this was done.
MAMA Study:
Then, the Metropolitan Area Management Association (MAMA) decided
to sponsor a joint study for comparable worth purposes and MAMA
hired Control Data Business Advisors to perform this study as a
multi -governmental study. Because of the large number of
government entities participating in the study (over 100), the
City of Eagan decided to also participate in this study in order
to be able to possibly equitably compare Eagan positions with
those of other cities. The City was attempting to achieve the
most complete and fair ratings for the positions within its
jurisdiction.
The City has been participating in the MAMA study for the past
two years. Obviously, when the study was begun, it was expected
that results would be received within a year. However, because •
of the large amount of not only government entities but of actual
government employees involved in all the procedures, the process
has taken longer than expected.
Briefly, first questionnaires were developed with the aid of city
personnel listing all the tasks that were performed by employees
of a city. Then questionnaires were administered to individual
employees to determine the individual tasks and the percent of
time spent on these tasks in each position in the City of Eagan
(as well as to employees in all the other cities). These
questionnaire answers were fed into a computer and the results
were reviewed by employees and supervisors a number of times
until what was assumed to be the most accurate results were
achieved.
Then, all the tasks were individually valued by hundreds of
actual city employees for complexity, importance and
unfavorability. The values given each of these factors were
mathematically combined by a computer and a total task value was
the result for each of the thousands of tasks in the study. From
these task values and from the percent of time an employee spends
on a task, a sum of a total position value was reached. The City
Council has received a copy of the value hierarchy for the City
of Eagan previously.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS •
City of Eagan Point Value Hierarchy:
The point value hierarchy for positions within the City of Eagan
was released to all employees in an all -employee meeting on
September 22, 1986.,The point values were as received from
Control Data Business Advisors for the MAMA comparable worth
study. The most common reaction and question asked concerned how
the results will affect compensation.
Final 1986 Review of TSP's:
In order for the comparable worth point value hierarchy to be
valid, it is necessary that the Time Spent Profile (TSP) for each
position be as accurate as possible. Therefore, employees were
encouraged to examine their TSP's if they had any concerns about
their positions' point values'. To date, only a small number of
employees have requested changes in their TSP's; and for the most
part, these changes involve "fine tuning" of percentages of time
spent on individual tasks and will not involve major point
value changes. Indeed, of the positions reviewed to date, two
remained the same, one had a one point adjustment, one a two
point adjustment and one a three point adjustment. It was
important to initiate this final review process before any
decisions were reached on compensation based on the point values •
in order that any request for review be based on the validity and
accuracy of the TSP and not upon the compensation for the point
values.
Review of Other Cities' Status
The point at which other cities have arrived in the comparable
worth process varies greatly. Some 'cities which have not placed
much priority on comparable worth are not only just beginning to
consider how to implement comparable worth but are also just
beginning to review their point hierarchies, only now realizing
how vital and important accurate Time Spent Profiles are to
achieving accurate results. Other cities are at the point we are
and are actively establishing equity compensation plans. The
majority of cities are somewhere in between.
Some cities interpret the law to mean that some sort of
implementation must be started before August 1, 1987, i.e., a
first adjustment with more to follow. At least one city intends
to have total adjustment by August 1, 1987 in order to avoid any
sort of lawsuit charging that not enough adjustment and not a
true good faith effort had been made. Again, most cities are in
between and intend to make some sort of substantial adjustment by
August 1, 1987 in a good faith effort, with the remaining
adjustments to follow in a timely manner.
Many cities already had developed some sort of equitible
compensation plans before comparable worth was established.
Therefore, those cities will probably have to make less
adjustments. They will merely have to adapt their existing plans
• to conform to comparable worth values. As you remember, this is
exactly what the City of Eagan was attempting to do three years
ago when the Council approved an internal equity/pay plan study.
Because the City of Eagan employees have been waiting a longer
time to receive the results of an equity study and because the
City of Eagan has been actively performing any steps in
completing the comparable worth study in a timely manner,
implementation in the City of Eagan could be, with the Council's
approval, among the first in the Metropolitan area. Action was
taken to implement the first phase adjustment for clerical and
dispatchers on October 15, 1986. It was agreed by the City
Council that all other employees would receive the same
recognition, which is now deemed as a retroactive adjustment.
St. Paul has already implemented comparable worth for its
clerical workers, including total adjustment with a two year
retroactivity period. Some other cities are considering
retroactive adjustments or total adjustments. The majority are
considering phasing in over a period of one to three years.
PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MEETINGS
The Personnel Committee of the City Council has met twice since
the point value hierarchy was released by the City Council for
employee perusal (in addition to the meetings held prior to that
release). At those meetings, they have examined in depth a
number of issues which will utimately have to be decided. by the
City Council as a whole. The following discussion looks at each
of those issues in more detail.
0
Types of Salary Ranges:
The members of the Personnel Committe studied the process of
using the point value hierarchy to set up salary ranges for the
City of Eagan as a whole. At this stage when we speak of salary
ranges,, we are not speaking of dollar amounts but of how many
different ranges there will be and how many individual point
values will be included in each range.
There is no absolute formula concerning how salary ranges must be
set up, how many there should be or how many points should be in
each. The City of Eagan is free to develop a system which best
fits its needs. However, it is important that each range contain
the same number of points. You cannot arbitrarily declare that
point values 36 through 40 should be one range; then 40 and 41
the next range and then 42 through 52 the next, etc.
Therefore, different consistent point value divisions were
examined by the Personnel Committee. The value hierarchy was
examined in terms of making each point a different range and then
in terms of having each two points be a range, each three points,
etc., all the way up to using ten point ranges. After much
study, it was determined that using four point ranges or five
point ranges would be most suitable to the City's hierarchy. And
of the two, the Personnel Committee favored the five point ranges
as being most equitable. In addition, all possible combinations
of points were looked at in each of the proposed point divisions.
Proposed range point divisions will be presented at the Council
meeting on Monday, along with reasons (pro and con) for their
selection.
Steps Within a Salary Range
After salary ranges are established, steps within each range
should be established. These steps are usually equal divisions
within each range and are usually established by equally dividing
the range into a certain number of steps which vary from each
other by having each step be a certain percentage above the
previous one.
The number of steps used is arbitrary, except, again, there
should be the same number of steps used in each range. Enclosed
on the next page is an example of a ten step range. Using this
many steps per range gives the City more leeway in assigning any
given position to a step. The criteria as shown for determining
placement of steps are suggestions of various possibilities. The
final system as determined by the City may contain some or all of
the shown criteria, as well as additional criteria not shown.
The example will be discussed at the City Council meeting.

Assignments of Dollar Amounts to Ranges and Steps:
Before dollar amounts can realistically be assigned to ranges and •
steps, it is necessary to decide how many points will be
contained in each range and how many steps will be contained in
each range. However, we will have some preliminary examples of
how dollar amounts could be set, based on the recommended five
point ranges containing ten steps each, and of what effect these
dollar amounts will have as far as increasing the total
compensation package for the City of Eagan. These examples will
be available at the City Council meeting on Monday.
Salary range dollar amounts are usually established by making the
midpoint of each range a certain percentage above the midpoint of
the previous range. Again, it is important that the percentage
be consistent. However, the one exception to this is that the
salary ranges for exempt employees (i.e., employees who do not
receive compensation for "overtime"") should be a certain
percentage above those of nonexempt employees (who receive time
and one-half compensation for overtime hours). If this is not
done, some adjustment -within each range should be made, i.e., an
exempt employee automatically is placed one or two steps higher
than a non-exempt employee, all other factors being equal.
The width of dollar amounts within ranges should have
consistency. This is accomplished by having all ranges be the
same percentage of the midpoint dollar amount.
A tool toward establishing the percentage amount each successive
range will increase is to study Eagan's current compensation
trendlines. Another tool is to establish proposed ranges and to
study how they affect Eagan's total compensation package. Both
methods have been used.
The Personnel Committee has spent a great deal of time studying
various possible ranges and how they affect total compensation.
Examples will be presented at the Council meeting on Monday. One
main objective in selecting a range will be to establish equity
within the City's pay plan. If the ranges set are too low,
equity will not be established and a realistic good faith effort
to conform with the comparable worth law will not be
accomplished. If the ranges set are too high, the City will be
adversely affected financially and wage rates will be artifically
created (which may not be suitable). Therefore, the ideal range
will be somewhere in the middle. It will establish realistic
comparable worth wage rates for those who are "underpaid" and
will present a system by which those who are "overpaid" will
eventually be paid an equitable rate with those who are not.
The ranges as shown will be based on an established midpoint
dollar figure for the lowest range. All other dollar figures
will be arrived at by figuring consistent percentages for the
steps within the range and for each successive range itself. The •
only variables which will affect how the overall compensation
ranges turn out are the midpoint dollar figure, the percentage
rate (one consistent) used to establish each step in a range and
the percentage figure (one consistent) used to establish each
successive range's dollar figures. It must be stressed that the
lowest range's midpoint dollar
result in ranges which represent
compensation plan.
Implementation Schedule
figure must be high enough to
a realistic comparable worth
The most frequent question asked by personnel in the City of
Eagan is when comparable worth will go, into effect. It will be
necessary for the City Council to determine:
1. How long a period is desirable for.total implementation.
(One year, two years., three years, etc.)
2. On what dates each stage adjustment will be made.
(January 1 and July 1 of each year, only January 1 of
each year, January 1 and May 1 and September l of each
year, etc.)
Various examples of plans and preliminary implications of each
were discussed at the Personnel Committee meetings. The plans
which were selected for recommendation will be presented at the
City Council meeting on Monday.
Two major considerations must

Becauseof comparable worth studies, limited equity adjustments
have been made in compensation during the past three years
because the administration was waiting to consider the results of
the comparable worth study. Therefore, it would be desirable to
make the adjustments fairly substantial. This would indicate not
only a good faith effort on the City's part for implementation of
comparable worth, but also would alleviate any concerns of
employees who have been asked to wait for any adjustments during
the past three years due to comparable worth. It would also help
to alleviate additional inequities which were caused by the long
waiting period.
Since it is expected that comparable worth adjustments, for the
City of Eagan will not be made 100% until a point two to three
years from now, only a token adjustment at the present would be
difficult to defend. Indeed, the City would be aided by a more
substantial adjustment because it would have a larger pool of
qualified applicants to choose from and would be likely to hire a
more qualified applicant and a better employee for the City if
able to offer a higher wage for those positions which are now
"underpaid."
As previously stated, Clerical and Dispatcher contracts have a
clause calling for a 20% comparable worth adjustment as of
40 October 15, 1986. Other employees know of this clause. It would
be advisable to make the 20% adjustment effective for all City
employees as of that date, both for morale reasons and for
consistency. The increase will only impact the employees who are
underpaid, given the pay plan/point value results.
Then, an additional adjustment could be made effective January 1,
1987 for all non-union employees affected by comparable worth. •
The union employees would then have to negotiate a provision
regarding January 1, 1987 implementation during bargaining for
their total 1987 contracts. Please note that the Maintenance
Workers have settled a contract for 1987 which calls for a 4%
increase (cost of living). However, they would not be due a
comparable worth increase due to the results of the study and so
would not be affected by whatever dollars are received by other
employees.
In order to be fair to non-union employees, any adjustment as of
1-1-87 should be subject to adjustment in the future depending
upon union negotiations. Any comparable worth adjustments made
in 1987 would also be subject to adjustment in 1988 when the City
could consider both performance and market adjustments if so
desired. By delaying these adjustments until 1988, the City will
be able to study how other cities may or may not utilize market
data and how any lawsuits against compensation plans utilizing
market considerations proceed through the courts. The City also
will have time to design and implement a performance appraisal
plan.
If monies are available, it could be desirable to make a 30%
adjustment of the difference between actual pay and the
comparable rate effective for 1987. The determination if this is
possible will be depend upon the compensation plan selected by
the City Council and by the amount of money presently available •
for this purpose. The City Council in Eagan has been foresighted
and has wisely budgeted money for this purpose for the past two
years in a contingency fund.
Examples of proposed implementation schedules will be shown
Monday night. Again, the amount of money available should be
considered when choosing a schedule.
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
No final placement of the point values for the Administrative
Assistants in Administration has been made to this point. When
the first results were received, it was determined by the MAMA
master committee that because Administrative Assistants, Assis-
tant City Administrators and City Administrators perform some of
the same tasks and each of those tasks currently was only valued
for the City Administrator level, it would be necessary to estab-
lish value amounts for those tasks for each of the lower,posi-
tions relative to their amount of authority and responsibility.
Therefore, formulas were worked out to adjust the task values for
different levels of responsibility. Benchmark ranges were also
set for an entry level Administrative Assistant and an Assistant
City Administrator. The City Administrator and Personnel
Committee have discussed the effect of adjusting the point totals .
for the two Administrative Assistants by these methods. They are
recommending to the City Council that the two positions each be
placed somewhere between 90 and 95 points on the value hierarchy.
There will be further discussion regarding this item at the City -
Council meeting on Monday.
• CONCLUSION
The following items require imput and/or decisions from the City
Council at the meeting on Monday:
1. Establish standard number of points for salary ranges.
a. Five point ranges ares recommended.
2. Establish number of steps within each range.
3. Establish criteria for ,placement of employee on the
appropriate step.
4. Assign dollar amounts to ranges and steps.
a. Establish lowest range midpoint amount.
b. Establish % increase between each step.
C. Establish % increase between each range.
5. Establish implementation schedule.
6. Establish point hierarchy placement for each of the
Administrative Assistant positions (Administration).

• MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: NOVEMBER 14,, 1986
SUBJECT: PUBLIC UTILITIES FUND
The proposed 1987 Public Utilities Fund Budget which includes water,
sewer and street lighting is estimated at 3.5 million dollars. All
expenditure and revenue accounts have been examined by the Director
of,Public Works, Director of. Public Works and this office. The
Director of Finance has reviewed all operating expenses taking into
consideration system growth caused by •new water and sewer accounts
and is forecasting an operating and capital budget that corresponds
to the growth. The Director of Finance has evaluated revenues and
based on new accounts generating additional sale of water and sewer
has forecast the revenues.
The budget summaries for water, sewer and street lighting illustrate
a total budget excluding depreciation expense and a total budget
including depreciation expense so that non-operating expenses are
included as a part of this public enterprise budget.
Major capital construction items such as new well construction and
the related are not included in the budget. These items are always
approved by special action of the City Council and funded through
available funds primarily within the water department. The
following is a breakdown of personnel expenses for both water and
sewer and then an individual review for budgetary requests in each
the water and sewer departments.
Personnel
The City has hired individuals to work for a period of 3 months to
perform routine maintenance needs that can only be performed during
seasonal peak periods. The department has found the use of
temporary personnel to be valuable in the past and would like to
propose 4 individuals to work a period of 3 months each during 1987.
The number of individuals and period of time is doubled from 1986.
The Director of Public Works is proposing a full-time utility
maintenance person. With the increasing size of the system and the
construction work load continuing at an increasing pace, it has
become necessary to expand the maintenance personnel by one person.
The department has attempted to meet demands that placed on the ever
expanding water and sewer and system by providing shift schedules
and overtime, however the need for an additional person is still
evident. This person would fill job duties including the following:
E
Final inspection of new construction
Cleaning of sanitary sewer lines
Repair water main breaks
Meter repairs
Meter readings
Pumphouse repairs
Preventative maintenance
Snowplowing
The second full-time position is that of secretary to the new
maintenance facility. With the number of personnel located within
that building it will be necessary to provide additional secretarial
support to assist maintenance operations and daily work direction
for clerk -typists and other routine administrative matters. These
personnel will be distributed proportionately of 808 water and 208
sewer for budgetary purposes.
Operating Account/Water Department
F_]L
For the most part the budget remained constant or reflect a small
percentage increase due to inflation and growth of departmental
activities. Some accounts are expenditure driven directly and
proportionate to the number of new residential accounts which
require a certain increase. Other accounts were not adjusted at all
in 1985. Those accounts that require an increase or reflect a
decrease were singled out for review. •
4221 Motor Fuels - An additional amount 'is budgeted to reflect two
(2) new vehicles.
4226 - The Director of Public Works is proposing a $2,000 decrease
due to continued refinement of treatment plant operations and
assuming a normal year while projecting a 108 increase in population
and related water usage. These chemicals include KMN04, fluoride
and chlorine.
4235 Landscape Material and Supplies - The $4500 increase is for
landscaping around well houses and one-fourth of the new maintenance
facility which will be performed by City crews.
4312 Professional Services Engineering - The major portion of this
increase is the $15,000 that was authorized for completion of the
Energy Management Study and power consumption. This study is saving
the City considerable dollars which will be reflected in the next
two accounts.
4375 Electricity Well Booster Station - A $5,000 decrease is
proposed which includes a reduction of $30,000 in cost savings from
the Energy Management Study and a $25,,000 increase for two new
wells.
4376 Gas Service - A $23,000 decrease is proposed based on new
operational procedures recommended by the Energy Management Study.
4383 Buildings Repair - A $6,000 increase is proposed to replace the
roof on well houses no. 1 and 4.
4392 - This is budgeted to account for 258 of the four month rental
cost until completion of the new maintenance facility.
Capital Outlay
4510 Land Improvements - $5,000 is budgeted for site acquisition for
well no. 10.
4520 Buildings - A $39,700 sum is budgeted to reflect the payback
agreement by the City Council for the new maintenance garage
facility.
4560 Office Furnishings and Equipment - Include a desk, chair and
computer equipment for the new maintenance facility in the amount of
$8300.
4570 - Includes a pipe locater, electrical timers and power factor
correction equipment totaling $10,700. The pipe locater is used for
locating water mains and service lines in construction sites, the
electrical use timers allow the City to schedule various well
pumping in off-peak electrical rate periods, saving demand charges
and the two power factor correction equipment are for wells 6 and 7
that are experiencing poor energy conversion reducing the efficiency
of those wells and resulting in increased power costs.
• 4580 - Two pieces of equipment are proposed; a 1/2 ton pick-up and
a 1 ton dump truck which a portion of the cost is budgeted within
the sewer department.
Sewer Department
Personal services represent 208 of the total expenditure for
personal services in the utility fund. Please refer to the water
department for explanation regarding new manpower.
Supplies, Repair and Maintenance, Other Charges and Services
The total increase for total supplies, repair and maintenance is
approximately $1000 and represents a small inflation adjustment and
increases in the growth of new accounts. ,
4310 Professional Services, General - The ongoing televising of
sanitary sewer lines. The Public Works Director is proposing 5
miles at $1200 per mile.
4379 - The City will realize a $22,888 decrease based on credits
provided by the•MWCC for passed over payments.
4382 - A $4000 decrease is proposed as a result of a stablizing
program of root control in sewers after the first two of start-up
and catch-up costs. The Director of Public Works is proposing a
contamination -process for root control at $4000 and other repairs to
sewage mains and equipment at $8000.
4392 - This $6000 expenditure is 258 of the rental requirement of
the AT&T building for four months until the new maintenance facility
is completed.
Capital Outlay
4520 Buildings - The $39,700 payment is per City Council, agreement
as a payback for the new municipal maintenance facility expansion
project.
4560 Office Furnishing and Equipment —This represents the sewer
department's cost of office equipment, including a desk, chair and
phone.
4570 - Includes a gas detector for sewer work and a cement mixer to
be used in manhole restorations.
4580 = Includes the sewer department's split for 1/2 ton pick-up and
1 ton dump truck that was described in the water department budget
and also a trailer in the amount of $2000 that will be used to carry
manhole rings, sand, cement, water and tools, keeping streets clear
of working materials.
Permanent Transfer (4417)
The permanent transfer amounts for 1987 are budgeted at $157,000 for
water and $79,000 for sewer. This transfer is made only for the
purpose of allowing the consolidation of budgeting and accounting
for certain personnel in the general fund. These personnel costs
were previously charged on a complicated basis in both the utility
fund and general fund. The LOGIS utility billing costs are also
covered by this transfer. This transfer does not generated excess
revenues for the general fund.
Debt Service
Debt service costs budgeted for 1987 payments on the debt related to
the treatment plan are $602,760, of which $125,000 is, principal,,
$477,160 is interest and $600 is paying agent/trustee fees. Since
it is only a balance sheet transaction, the principal payment is not
included with the other expenditure accounts on the budget pages.
It is included in rate calculations because it is a required
expenditure.
Summary
There are no new programs being proposed in the water and sewer
department for 1987. The Energy Management Study that was
authorized in 1986 has proven to be extremely beneficial to the
department providing a significant annual savings in gas and
electrical consumption: Capital outlay and manpower is required to
meet the growing demands of our public utility operations.
The.MWCC charges are continuing to increase from $173,000 in 1976 to
the proposed $1,168,232 .in 1987. The', increase is due to the
discharge of sludge on land rather than into the river, the purchase
of an additional interceptor and the volume of dwelling units and
commercial establishments that have been constructed during the past
11 years.
The 1987 proposed .utility fund budget is presented for your
consideration.

MR. JOE HARRIS, CHAIRMAN
DAKOTA COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
DAKOTA COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER
1560 HIGHWAY 55
HASTINGS MN 55033
Re: Public Hearing on Dakota County Administrative Facilities
Dear Mr. Harris:
As you know, the. City of Eagan is extremely interested is the issue
of Dakota County's Administrative Office Facilities. Unfortunately,
the Eagan City Council has scheduled a special work session on the
evening of November 24 and will be unable to attend the public
hearing on the matter that same night. Jon Hohenstein,
Administrative Assistant in our office, will attend on the City's
behalf to make comment as may be appropriate.
The City strongly supports the Board's general purpose of providing
County services in Western Dakota County. The Western Court
Facility, County Libraries and Planning Services locations in this
area have improved the efficency and effectiveness of our employees
through the convenience of proximity.
The logical support for the relocation of additional services in the
growing population centers is obvious. The .same arguments about
transportation, population and efficiency which placed the County
seat in Hastings now apply to the western Dakota County growth
communities. Transportation, constituency and service delivery
considerations suggest the importance of the location of certain
services where they can best serve the public.
This does not imply exclusive relocation of all services nor any
need to relocate the County seat. Rather it shows the need for a
balanced approach to service provision in an evolving portion of the
metropolitan area. It is not an either - or issue. It is one of
how best to serve the residents of Dakota County. The City of Eagan
will do everything in its power to assist in the clarification of
these issues and in the establishment of county services where they
can benefit the largest number of County residents.
THE LONE OAK TREE... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
Dakota County Administrative Facilities
November 19, 1986 1
Page Two
As a possible location of the County Administrative Building or
additional satellite services, the City of Eagan ideally suits the
citizen proximity and access needs of County government. We will be
frank; we do not propose to offer an extensive incentive package as
an inducement for such facilities. We will rely, however, on the
City's history of cooperation with the County in the development of
other facilities as a basis for consideration of County offices. If
a site within the City of Eagan is among those given final
consideration, the City would be receptive to those means which
would best suit the County's needs to secure and develop that
location.
I appreciate this opportunity to make comment on behalf of the City
of Eagan. If you have any questions about this correspondence, Mr..
Hohenstein will represent the City at the public hearing and I can
be reached at the Eagan City Offices. Thank you for your kind
attention to this matter.
sincerely,
1((�

City Administrator.
