III. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Direction for Consideration:
Provide direction to staff for proposed City Code amendments to Chapter 11 regarding Electric
Vehicle Charging Stations
Background
➢ City Council was provided information within the April 1, 2022 Additional Information
Memo regarding recent inquiries for installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
(EVCS). At the April 5th Listening Session Council directed staff to conduct research and
provide an update at a future Council Workshop.
➢ The City has recently received inquiries and applications to install EVCS on commercial
properties. Several businesses have installed EVCS to meet demand for both customers
and employees, most involving Level 2 chargers. Below is a list of existing EVCS within
the City. City Council recently approved Level 3 EV Charging facilities proposed at Cub
Foods and Twin Cities Premium Outlets through review of a Planned Development
Amendment.
➢ EVCS are classified according to three levels:
o Level 1: Slow charging generally operating on a 120-volt AC circuit. Only involves
a direct connection to existing wall socket.
o Level 2: Medium charging generally operating on a 208 or 240 -volt AC circuit.
More equipment than Level 1, but less intrusive than Level 3.
o Level 3: Fast or Rapid charging operating on a 480-volt or higher three phase
circuit. Involves installation of larger equipment due to high volt output.

Standard Chargers
➢ While all-electric EVs accounted for only approximately 3.4 percent of light -duty
vehicles sold in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2021, this number rose significantly over
the prior year, and is expected to continue to grow exponentially. New government
mandates aim to scale back conventional engines and boost EV sales by 50% by 2030.
The Biden administration recently allocated $7.5 billion in funding to grow EV char ging
station networks across the country
➢ Most electric vehicle charging occurs at home with overnight charging on Level 1 or
Level 2 chargers. Level 1 and 2 are most commonly found at home, businesses and
work. Level 3, or DC Fast, are expensive and are intended to serve as “opportunity”
charging to the general public and placed in destination locations along major
transportation corridors and occasionally at shopping centers, hotels, and grocery
stores.
➢ Planning staff presented the below information to the Advisory Planning Commission at
its June 28th APC Workshop.
Findings
➢ Staff researched communities that have adopted EV Charging ordinances, including
Lakeville, St. Louis Park, Bloomington, Richfield, Medina, and Oakdale (working draft).
➢ All of the ordinances provide general performance standards regarding installation of EV
Charging Stations (i.e. allowable zoning districts, setbacks, general location, etc.).
Use by Right/Accessory to Principal Use
➢ Three cities (Lakeville, St. Louis Park, and Medina) allow Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging
facilities within all zoning districts as an accessory use. Level 3 charging facilities were
restricted to non-residential zoning districts.
➢ Three cities (Bloomington, Richfield, and Oakdale) allow all three charging levels (Levels
1, 2, and 3) within all zoning districts when accessory to a primary use.
➢ St. Louis Park, Medina, and Bloomington categorize standalone retail Level 3 charging
facilities (not intended as an accessory use to a principal use) as a gas/fueling station.
Standalone Level 3 facilities are then only allowed within commercial zoning districts
where gas/fueling stations are permitted.
EV-Installed/EV-Ready/EV-Capable
➢ Some cities are requiring minimum infrastructure improvements for future EV Charging
Stations at time of development. EV-Installed refers to a fully installed system with a
charger available for use. EV-Ready generally is the installation of most of the necessary
EV infrastructure, excluding the EV charger. EV-Capable means there is a dedicated
electrical panel for a future EV parking space, installation of other EV charging
equipment is still necessary.
➢ St. Louis Park, Medina, Richfield, Oakdale (draft ordinance), and to a lesser extent
Bloomington, include “recommended” EV-Ready and EV-Capable provisions for new
and/or redeveloping property.
➢ All of the above communities have recommended minimums for EV-Installed, EV-Ready,
and EV-Capable for both multi-family and non-residential uses. All cities vary in ratios of
recommended EV-Installed, Ready and Capable facilities. Here are two examples for
multi-family requirements:
o Medina: More than 10 multi-family units - EV-Installed: 5% (of all parking), EV-
Capable: 20%, EV-Ready: 10%
o St. Louis Park: Less than 49 parking spaces in multi-family development - EV-
Installed: 5% (Level 1 chargers), 50+ parking spaces – EV Installed: 10% (Level 1,
with minimum of one Level 2 charger); EV-Ready: 10% of all parking (Level 2)
➢ Medina incentivizes EV installation by flexing performance standards for new
development such as reduced building and landscape setbacks, reduced landscaping,
and density bonuses.
Parking Allowance/Calculation
➢ All of the cities allowed EV Parking to be counted toward meeting the minimum parking
standards.
EV Vehicle Reserved
➢ Some of the cities specified that EV stalls are reserved for electric vehicles only.
Bloomington has similar reservation language; however, it includes a provision that non-
EV vehicles can park in EV stalls when parking lots comprise of 5% or more EV parking.
ADA Requirements
➢ Most cities include provisions that EV Charging Stations must meet ADA standard s.
o Lakeville simply notes “devices shall be mounted to comply with applicable
building codes and relevant ADA requirements”.
o Oakdale includes more descriptive ADA requirements.
➢ Most of the communities required at least one EV stall be ADA accessible when multiple
charging stations are present. Some cities provided credit if the EV charger was
immediately adjacent and accessible to an ADA stall.
APC Recommendations
➢ At the June 28th APC workshop, the Commission favored adopted general performance
standards, recommended that EV Charging Stations be accepted as accessory uses, and
recommended against implementing EV-Install or EV-Ready requirements.
Next Steps
➢ Staff would prepare a memo for an upcoming City Council meeting to direct staff to
begin preparation of an ordinance amendment.
➢ Staff would work with the Advisory Planning Commission on a draft ordinance.
Policy Questions
1. Should general performance standards be developed for EV Charging Stations?
2. Should Level 1 and 2 Charging Stations be considered accessory to a principal use in all
zoning districts?
3. Should Level 3 Charging Stations also be considered accessory but allowed only within
commercial, industrial, institutional districts (prohibited in residential zones)? Or should
they require Conditional Use Permit or PD Amendment approval?
4. Should the City implement minimum EV-Installed, EV-Ready, and EV-Capable provisions for
new or redeveloping sites?

IV. Request for Proposals – Small Area Plan for Delta/Unisys Sites
Direction for Consideration:
Provide direction to staff regarding the Request for Proposals for a Small Area Plan for the Delta
and Unisys sites.
Background
➢ The Delta and Unisys sites are located within the Central Commons Special Area, one of
four special areas created within the Eagan Comprehensive Plan to allow more focused
planning efforts to direct policy for infill development and redevelopment where
specialized mix-use development has occurred or will likely occur.
➢ Special Area plans have been prepared as policy documents to be used when land use,
site, building, zoning or circulation changes are proposed.
➢ The 71-acre Project Area is located in the northwest quadrant of the Central Commons
Special Area, west of Pilot Knob Road and south of Towerview Road. The site consists of
two parcels:
o The Delta parcel consists of 39 acres and a 335,000 square foot building
originally constructed in the 1980’s as a semi-conductor manufacturing facility
and later used as a flight operations and support center for Northwest/Delta
airlines. The building is currently largely vacant.
o The Unisys parcel consists of 32 acres and a 312,000 square foot building
constructed in 1986 as part of the Sperry Univac campus and currently partially
used by Unisys for a data center and support functions. The building is currently
being marketed for sale.
➢ The Finance Committee met on March 30, 2022 and discussed several office sites within
the City that are likely to be sold and possibly redeveloped.
➢ The Finance Committee felt that the City had a strong interest in guiding development
at the Delta and Unisys sites due to the site’s high visibility in the community, the
location within the Central Commons Special Area, and the adjacency to one of the
City’s largest investments at Central Park and the Eagan Community Center. The
Finance Committee directed staff to draft a request for proposals for master planning.
➢ Staff has drafted a request for proposals for a small area plan which will gather
community input on goals and desires for the Project Area, provide a process for
evaluating land use changes and additional development, consider public infrastructure
needs and costs, and provide analysis of City revenue impacts of development
scenarios.
➢ A completed small area plan should provide clarity for property owner and developers
and a more efficient land use approval process for all parties.
Request for Proposals (RFP)
➢ The RFP includes background information on the City, the Central Commons Special
Area, and the Project Area.
➢ The RFP provides information on significant public investments in the Project Area
including Central Park, wells and raw water distribution lines, county and city roads, and
Sperry Tower.
➢ The RFP defines City goals for the project including:
o Jobs and tax base. The City’s goal is to maximize commercial tax base and jobs
within the Project Area.
o Eagan Forward. The Project Area planning process and its outcomes should
reflect the Eagan Forward vision.
o City facilities and amenities. The final plan shall protect the City’s investments in
the Central Park area and enhance opportunities for public recreation and
interaction.
o Public engagement. Public engagement in the planning process shall be
transparent, comprehensive, and authentic and shall reflect the City’s goals for
racial equity and inclusion.
➢ The RFP identifies project components and deliverables as follows:
o Community Engagement Plan. A phased Community Engagement Plan, with
emphasis on gathering input from diverse demographic groups, will seek input
from property owners, stakeholders, the Metropolitan Council, appointed and
elected officials, and the community throughout the duration of the project.
o Assessment of existing conditions and market demand. Deliverables include a
report on existing site conditions and potential for reuse and a market analysis
for new/additional uses including market absorption rates.
o Analysis of public amenity needs in Project Area. Deliverables include color
maps depicting options for recreational amenities and infrastructure, narrative
describing how improvements advance identified park goals and enhance the
Central Commons area, and estimates of park development costs.
o Analysis of public infrastructure needs in Project Area. Deliverables include
capacity analyses for transportation, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer systems
and a water system analysis.
o Concept plans. The consultant will develop three small area plan concepts for
presentation to stakeholders, the community, and appointed and elected
officials. The City Council will provide direction on a preferred plan.
o Revenue impact to City and demands for public services. The consultant will
work with Northland Securities, Inc. to evaluate City revenue impacts, with focus
on property tax revenue, of concept plans and estimate demands and costs for
public services and infrastructure. The consultant will prepare high-level cost
and revenue analyses for each concept plan and detailed analysis for the
preferred small area plan.
o Final small area plan. The final small area plan shall include full color maps,
narrative description of map elements, phasing plans for development and
public investments, and GIS mapping data and files.
➢ The RFP defines submission requirements and the selection process.
Cost and Budget
➢ Due to labor shortages and cost increases, staff is only able to provide an estimate of
the cost for the small area plan. Best estimates are a range of $300,000 to $450,000.
➢ The cost of the study is not included in the adopted 2022 or proposed 2023 budget. The
Community Investment Fund would be the proposed funding source for the project
(current balance is $3.07 million).
➢ It is unknown at this time whether the Project Area would qualify as a TIF District.
➢ The City may want to establish an interfund loan to provide an opportunity for
reimbursement from tax increment, abatement, or other future sources of revenue.
Argosy Site
➢ Argosy University constructed an 84,408 square foot building on an 8.38-acre site south
of the Eagan Community Center in 2003. As part of the development approvals, Argosy
agreed to provide 664 shared parking spaces on its site for use for community events at
Central Park. The City provides 90 spaces of shared parking for the Argosy site at the
Eagan Community Center.
➢ The Argosy building has been vacant for at least two years and was proposed to be
redeveloped by Thompson Thrift with luxury rental townhomes.
➢ Citing increasing construction costs, Thompson Thrift recently withdrew its proposal to
purchase the Argosy site.
➢ The broker for the Argosy site has indicated that if they are unable to reach a deal in the
short term to sell the property to a user which can use the existing building, they will
likely demolish the building before the end of the year due to the high costs of
maintaining a vacant structure.
➢ As a policy question, the City Council will be asked whether the Argosy site should be
included in the RFP.
Policy Questions
1) Does the City Council support the City goals for the project as described above?
2) Does the City Council support the identified project components and deliverables?
3) Should a budget be established and communicated to proposers? If so, what is the budget?
4) Should the Argosy site be included in the RFP?

1. Introduction
The City of Eagan (“City”) is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to assist with preparation of a
plan for the potential reuse and/or redevelopment of the former Delta Airlines operations center and
the current Unisys data center sites in central Eagan (the “Project Area”).
The City is a municipality located in Dakota County in the southern Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Eagan
has a population of approximately 70,000 and is home to over 2,300 businesses including major regional
employers such as Thomson Reuters, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Coca Cola, the US Postal Service, Ecolab,
Prime Therapeutics, and the Minnesota Vikings.
The City has a diverse housing stock of nearly 30,000 units, with over fifty percent of the units being
either attached townhomes or multifamily style units. The City’s explosive growth years came during the
late 1970’s to early 1990’s when well over half of the City’s housing stock was built. In recent years,
Eagan has added over 2,000 new multifamily housing units of various types and income levels.
The Eagan Mayor and Council are elected at large to serve four-year staggered terms. They are elected
to make decisions on behalf of the City's residents, adopt and oversee the City's annual budget and set
the annual property tax levy. They are responsible for policy decisions including land use, program
development, ordinances, and awards of contracts. The City Council appoints a City Administrator who
oversees day-to-day operations of the City and ensures Council decisions are implemented.
2. Central Commons Special Area
The subject site is located within the Central Commons Special Area, one of four special areas created
within the Eagan Comprehensive Plan to allow more focused planning efforts to direct policy for infill
development and redevelopment where specialized mixed-use development has occurred or will likely
occur. Special Area plans have been prepared as policy documents to be used when land use, site,
building, zoning or circulation changes are proposed. Special Area plans are intended to be flexible to
allow for creative private sector responses to meet the City’s vision.
The Central Commons is a large 862-acre area surrounding the intersections of Pilot Knob Road, Yankee
Doodle Road and Interstate 35E. It is identified as a special area because of the community’s desire to
have a central focal point and an integrated, mixed-use place that can serve as a destination for
shopping, dining, living, working and recreating. While the Central Commons area is fully developed, due
to continued high market demand in the City, change and redevelopment within the Central Commons
has regularly occurred since 1995 and is likely to continue.
The 71-acre Project Area is located in the northwest quadrant of the Central Commons Special Area,
west of Pilot Knob Road and south of Towerview Road. The site consists of two parcels, each with a
300,000+ square foot corporate building constructed in the 1980’s as part of the Sperry Univac campus.
The westernmost building was originally constructed as a semi-conductor manufacturing facility but was
later sold and used by Northwest/Delta airlines as a flight operations and support center. The easterly
building constructed in 1986 is currently being used by Unisys partially as a data center and other
3
support functions. Both existing buildings in the Project Area are currently at least partially vacant,
privately-owned, and have been marketed for sale. The current property owners are stakeholders and
should be engaged by the consultant in the planning process.
The original Sperry Rand (Univac) building was constructed at Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road
in 1966 with later additions and eventual occupancy by Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin consolidated
operations elsewhere in the United States and that site was sold and redeveloped in 2015 as the Central
Park Commons commercial area.
Subsequent to the Sperry Univac development, the City acquired a 56-acre property in the middle of the
campus for a future park and community center. The Eagan Community Center and surrounding park
were completed in 2003 and serve as the City’s central community event space. The community center
includes open gym, workout training, meeting, and convention space. Central Park and the Eagan
Festival Grounds hosts several large annual community events including Funfest, the Eagan Art Festival,
Eagan Food Truck Festival, and weekly Market Fest.
3. Public Infrastructure
Central Park. The City’s 56-acre Central Park is located immediately adjacent to the Project Area and is
the City’s primary community gathering and recreation hub. Central Park has two large community
pavilions, a bandshell, Core Valley Fitness Park, and a heavily used splash pad. The park hosts large-
scale community events including Market Fest, 4th of July Fun Fest, Eagan Art Festival, and Food Truck
Fest. The 50,000+ square foot Eagan Community Center is located within Central Park and includes a
fitness center, indoor playground, senior center, and banquet/meeting/event spaces.
Wells and distribution lines. Several city wells are located in and around the Project Area and raw water
lines around the site perimeter feed the Eagan North Water Treatment Facility at Coachman Road and
Yankee Doodle Road. The City will require continued use and easements over distribution lines and wells
to protect the water supply infrastructure. A private well at the Unisys building remains open. The City
is interested in using the private well as a monitoring site per a Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources requirement. The well’s location, however, may be challenging for that purpose.
County and City roads. The site is currently served from Pilot Knob Road (Dakota County Highway 31)
via Towerview Road from the north. A private drive serves the westerly building with a private city-
maintained connection through Central Park to Central Parkway. A full, private driveway access to Pilot
Knob Road is located near the south property line of Unisys. Travel demand based on future land use
mix will determine need for public right-of-way dedication and intersection improvements. Dakota
County may restrict full access to Pilot Knob Road from Towerview Road and/or Unisys driveway if
future land uses impact current trip generation.
Sperry Tower. The City currently owns and manages a tower structure on a one-acre property along
Towerview Road. The tower was constructed as a cellular co-location site, replacing a decommissioned
water reservoir at this location. The City has equipped the tower with lights that can be programmed to
change colors based on community selected themes. The tower shall remain viewable in the community
4
and not significantly blocked by adjacent tall structures.
The City has limited GIS mapping data that may be available identifying public and private infrastructure
in the Project Area.
4. City Goals for Project
Jobs and tax base. The City has one of the largest and occupationally diverse employment bases in the
Twin Cities region with over 60,000 jobs in 2019. Pandemic related relocations, market changes, and
employer working options have affected the City’s employment base which is currently experiencing a
slower job recovery than the region. As of the fourth quarter of 2021, the City’s businesses employ
approximately 53,000 people. The City’s goal is to maximize commercial tax base and jobs within the
Project Area.
Eagan Forward. In 2016 the City completed Eagan Forward, a 20-year community vision which identified
five strategies to guide the City into a future in which reuse and redevelopment are common;
demographic, technologic, and economic forces drive change; and diverse residents want to be engaged
in decision-making. The five identified strategies are:
1. Eagan is a Place for All People
2. Eagan is a Healthy Community
3. Eagan is Creative & Innovative
4. Eagan is a Destination
5. Eagan has an Updated Brand
The Project Area planning process and its outcomes should reflect the Eagan Forward vision.
City facilities and amenities. The City has made significant public investments in Central Park and the
Eagan Community Center. The Parks Master Plan identifies needs for additional park investments and
amenities. The final plan shall protect the City’s investments in the Central Park area and enhance
opportunities for public recreation and interaction.
Public engagement. The Project Area is located in a highly visible area of central Eagan adjacent to
destination City facilities. Public engagement in the planning process shall be transparent,
comprehensive, and authentic and shall reflect the City’s goals for racial equity and inclusion.
5. Project Components and Deliverables
Community Engagement Plan. The consultant will develop a phased Community Engagement Plan
which will seek input from property owners, stakeholders, the Metropolitan Council, appointed and
elected officials, and the community throughout the duration of the project. Emphasis should be placed
on gathering input from demographic groups which have been historically underrepresented in
community engagement.
5
Deliverables:
• Communications documents for distribution to the public and stakeholders (i.e., emails,
letters, articles, social media posts).
• Meeting notes and summaries focused on topics/outcomes for each engagement
activity.
• Final engagement report that details all engagement activities and the way that
community input shaped the master plan.
Assessment of existing conditions and market demand. The consultant will assess the existing
conditions of the site and improvements including buildings and infrastructure. The consultant will
determine the feasibility of reuse of all or a portion of existing improvements. The consultant will
complete a market analysis to determine feasibility of redevelopment or additional uses including
timeframes for market absorption.
Deliverables:
• Report on existing site conditions and improvements and potential for reuse.
• Market analysis for new/additional uses including market absorption estimates.
Analysis of public amenity needs in Project Area. The consultant will evaluate the potential for locating
park amenities and infrastructure needs identified in the City’s Park Master Plan within the Project Area.
The evaluation will include options for shared parking including connections and accessibility, trails,
infrastructure to support recreation and activities, and infrastructure to support existing and new special
events programmed for the Central Park grounds and Eagan Community Center.
Deliverables:
• A written report including color maps depicting options for recreational amenities and
infrastructure. The report will include the following:
o Narrative describing how suggested park improvements advance goals
identified in the Parks Master Plan;
o An explanation of how suggested improvements enhance existing amenities and
activities in the Central Commons area;
o Estimates of development costs including land acquisition, grading,
infrastructure, and construction.
Analysis of public infrastructure needs in Project Area. The consultant will evaluate public infrastructure
needs to support development or redevelopment in the Project Area. With consideration of existing
transportation system capacity and identified recommendations in the City’s Transportation Master Plan
and Dakota County’s 2040 Transportation Plan, the consultant should determine whether transportation
system improvements. The consultant should provide concept designs for the internal multimodal
transportation system and connections to the multimodal transportation system outside of the Project
Area.
The consultant will develop a sanitary sewer capacity analysis to provide parameters on land use
intensity, placement, and right-of-way needs that includes identified recommendations in the City’s
6
Wastewater Master Plan. The analysis shall be in a narrative format and be supported by SewerGEMS
(Bentley) Modeling.
The consultant will develop a storm sewer capacity analysis that includes identified recommendations in
the City’s Stormwater Master Plan and is in narrative format and is supported by PCSWMM Modeling.
Modeling should account for the NOAA Atlas 14 (Volume 8, Version2) ten percent probability (10-year)
and one percent probability (100-year) 24-hour rainfall events. The analysis should account for
potential onsite stormwater infrastructure and easement needs.
With consideration of identified recommendations in the City’s Finished Water Master Plan, the
consultant will develop a water system analysis that will provide parameters on land use intensity and
placement and inform right-of-way needs. The water system analysis will include recommendations for
well and distribution system protection requirements. The analysis will be focused on higher level
infrastructure and not individual property connections and minor water line connections. The analysis
shall be in a narrative format and be supported by WaterGEMS (Bentley) Modeling.
Deliverables:
• A transportation capacity analysis
• A sanitary sewer capacity analysis
• A storm sewer capacity analysis
• A water system analysis.
Concept plans. The consultant will develop three small area plan concepts which will identify, at a
minimum, parks and open space amenities and infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, public
utility (water, sanitary sewer, stormwater) options, water distribution protection zones, and land uses.
The Community Engagement Plan will address how concept plans will be presented to stakeholders, the
community, and appointed and elected officials. The City Council will provide direction on a preferred
plan.
Deliverables:
• Full color concept plan maps showing allocated land uses, parks/open space, park
amenities and infrastructure, transportation network (streets/trails), public utility
(water, sanitary sewer, stormwater) infrastructure, and water distribution protection
zones.
• Narrative description of map elements shall be provided for each concept plan.
Revenue impact to City and demands for public services. The consultant will work collaboratively with
the City’s financial advisor, Northland Securities, Inc., to compare City revenue impacts, with focus on
property tax revenue, of concept plans and estimate demands and costs for public services and
infrastructure. High-level cost and revenue analyses will be created for each concept plan. Following
City Council direction regarding a preferred concept, a detailed cost and revenue analysis will be
prepared and included in the final report. The City will contract separately with its financial advisor,
Northland Securities, Inc..
7
Deliverables:
• High-level cost and revenue analyses for each concept plan.
• Detailed cost and revenue analysis for preferred small area plan.
Final small area plan. The consultant will prepare a final small area plan which shall include a full color
map(s) showing proposed allocated land uses, park/open space, park amenities and infrastructure,
multimodal transportation network, public utility (water, sanitary sewer, stormwater) infrastructure,
and water distribution protection zones. The consultant shall provide phasing plans for development
and redevelopment including phasing for public infrastructure and amenity investments.
Deliverables:
• Full color small area plan map/s showing allocated land uses, parks/open space, park
amenities and infrastructure, multimodal transportation network including right-of-way
widths, public utility (water, sanitary sewer, stormwater) infrastructure, and water
distribution protection zones.
• A narrative description of map elements shall be included.
• GIS mapping data and files in ESRI format shall be provided. Map documents shall be
provided in pdf and ArcGIS Pro format.
All project deliverables shall be provided for staff review at an appropriate time within the

V. 2023 GENERAL FUND BUDGET PRESENTATION
DIRECTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To provide direction to staff regarding the proposed 2023 General Fund budgets and
preliminary tax levy
FACTS:
A 2023 General Fund budget was prepared a year ago as the second year of the City’s
two-year operating budget process.
The budget team—City Administrator Miller, Assistant City Administrator Alig, Finance
Director Feldman, and Assistant Finance Director Foiles—has met with each of the
departments as part of the process to bring the City Administrator’s recommended 2023
budget to its current state.
The general narrative is laid out in a fashion similar to previous years.
The budget team and department directors will be present at the meeting to respond to
any questions the City Council may have about the proposed budget.
The 2023 General Fund budget and tax levy are next scheduled to be considered at the
regular City Council meeting on September 6.
Staff will walk through the budget memo information with a slideshow presentation for
the viewing public.

1
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR MILLER
FINANCE DIRECTOR FELDMAN
DATE: AUGUST 8, 2022
SUBJECT: PROPOSED 2023 GENERAL FUND OPERATING BUDGET
AND PAYABLE 2023 PROPERTY TAX LEVY
INTRODUCTION
The 2023 Budget is the second year of the City’s 2022-2023 Budget process. The
budget represents a strong effort by City staff to:
incorporate City Council direction,
continue to provide service levels the residents and stakeholders have come to
expect,
reflect the changing economic shifts at the macro level.
Changes in the 2023 Budget include:
Parks and Recreation staff reorganization to help better align services,
The rental housing program to maintain the City’s prominent housing stock,
Property assessment shifts and impacts. Specifically, in 2021, Eagan and our
region saw significant market value growth in tax base. Now we are evaluation
the impact of that shift, our uncertain national economy, inflation, rising interest
rates, and how we are experiencing the impacts of these shifts. While the 2023
preliminary property assessment values climbed at 14% level, only 1.1% of that
increase is due to new construction.
Pandemic Recovery:
The City continues its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. City staff are continuing to
explore the best use of the relief funding provided by the federal government and will be
seeking direction from City Council. Early in the pandemic, projections suggested
considerable losses in property tax and development revenues. That was not the case
as the Eagan economy remained strong during and coming out of the pandemic.
2
General Fund Status:
The City’s General Fund remains strong and as such, City staff are exploring ways to
use the fund balance in the General Fund as a means to pay for capital expenditures
and maintain the 6% tax levy increase for 2023 as proposed in December of 2021.
Overall, there are minimal staffing changes proposed in the departments supported
primarily by the general fund and thus the general levy.
Rental Licensing Program:
The 2023 budget includes the addition of two full-time positions to support the proposed
implementation of a new rental licensing program. As part of the rental licensing
program, these positions will be partially or fully supported through the program fees by
year-three of operations. Further action on the rental licensing program will be sought in
the Fall of 2022 and further budget refinement will best reflect the action toward final
adoption in December.
Race Equity and Inclusion:
Department directors and staff were asked to prepare their respective budgets with an
eye toward more equitable services and programs. The 2022 budget included funding
for a racial equity and inclusion assessment with the addition of a staff person in 2023 to
advance racial equity and inclusion (REI) efforts not only within the City organization but
the entire community of Eagan. This effort was initiated by the City Council as a key
initiative, stemming from its discussion at the April 2021 Council/Staff retreat. The
current REI assessment will be completed mid-2023. Without knowing the
recommendations of that assessment, staff is proposing the REI funds included in the
2023 budget be allocated under professional services rather than called out specifically
as a new staff position. Doing so will provide flexibility to be responsive to the
recommendations of the assessment.
MEETING PURPOSE
The City is required by State law to certify a preliminary payable 2023 property tax levy
to the County Treasurer-Auditor on or before September 30, 2022. The primary purpose
of the August 8 Special City Council meeting is to review the preliminary 2023 General
Fund Budget and 2023 property tax levy, begin the public engagement process, and
solicit City Council feedback so that adjustments can be made in time for certification at
the September 6 regular Council meeting.
As the Council is aware, the preliminary levy can be reduced for the final certification in
December; however, it cannot be increased.
If necessary, the Council could continue the budget discussion to the September 13
Special City Council meeting and/or refer to the Council’s Finance Committee for further
consideration. In that case, the Council could certify the preliminary levy at its
September 20 regular meeting.
3
BUDGET ADOPTION PROCESS
The 2023 operating budget is the second year of the two-year budget cycle. Department
directors reviewed their planned budget figures in April 2022 and submitted any major
revisions in June. Formal action on the levy and preliminary 2023 General Fund budget
is scheduled for the regular meeting on September 6, but as noted, could be delayed
until the regular meeting on September 20. The Truth-in-Taxation hearing is tentatively
scheduled for Tuesday, December 6. Should the Council wish to discuss further, final
budget and levy approval could occur at the regular Council meeting on December 20.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
General Fund proposed budget increase:
o 2023: 4.4%
Tax levy proposed increase:
o 2023: 6.0%
Total tax capacity increased 12.9% (New construction was 1.1% of the increase)
Market value of property in Eagan increased 14.1%. New construction
accounted for 1.1% of the increase.
Average-value home increased in value 14.0% to $393,843
Increase in taxes on average value home:
o 2023: 6.9%
2023 proposed staff additions, which account for $156,000, or 7.7% of the total
$2,032,700 budget increase:
o Clerical IV (Part time - 0.5 FTE planned to be hired in July of 2023)
o Senior Property Maintenance Technician (July 2023 hire date)
o Recreation Programmers
The addition of two Recreation Programmers is the result of a
planned reorganization of the department. The department will
eliminate an existing Recreation Supervisor position as well as a
part time Recreation Specialist position.
2023 includes an 8.0% increase in health insurance costs.

General Fund Budget
The proposed 2023 General Fund budget is $48,392,800, an increase of $2,032,700, or
4.4%, over the 2022 expenditure budget.
While proposed staff additions comprise a large portion of the budget increase, it should
be noted that even with no changes to staff or programs, the 2023 General Fund budget
would increase by 4.1%. Significant changes in General Fund revenues and
expenditures are further detailed below.
5
Revenues
The 2023 revenue estimates are based on a continuation of the City’s established
practice staying on the conservative side. Significant revenue changes for 2023 are
noted below:
Intergovernmental revenues are estimated to be down $658,900. This decrease
in revenue is a result of the SAFER Federal Grant expiring in 2022.
The use of Fund Balance is programmed to increase $300,000 in 2023 in
accordance with the phased-in tax levy approach for the SAFER personnel.
General Fund Revenues 2022 2023 $ %
Property Taxes 36,265,400 38,677,600 2,412,200 6.7%
Licenses and Permits 1,729,600 1,803,400 73,800 4.3%
Inter-gov't Rev. 2,058,200 1,399,300 (658,900) -32.0%

∆

Expenditures
The proposed budget increases are largely attributed to existing and newly proposed
staff (88% of the increase in 2023). The rationale for the new positions is addressed
later in this memo:
Significant non-personnel changes - 2023 Budget:
Parts and supplies are budgeted to increase $65,900 as a result of the
inflationary impacts of road treatment supplies ($58,000 increase, or 27.7%).
Services and other charges are programmed to increase $142,700 in 2023. This
increase is primarily due to $150,000 in professional services to support the
City’s ongoing racial, equity, and inclusion efforts. In addition, the 2023 budget
reflects a $43,400 increase in IT maintenance costs for city-wide applications as
well as an increase of $16,700 for the continual support of the Dakota County
Drug Task Force. These increases were partially offset by the forecasted costs
for the Dakota Communication Center decreasing $172,600, or 11.3% in 2023
General Fund Expenditures 2022 2023 $ %
Personal Services 35,908,000$ 37,693,300$ 1,785,300$ 5.0%

General Fund Balance
The projected 2022 year-ended General Fund balance of $27,400,000 represents 56.7%
of the proposed 2023 budget. This is 11.7%, or $5.6 million, above the upper end of the
Council’s target range of 40% to 45% and $8.0 million above the lower end of the target
range of the following years budgeted expenditures.
Included in the projected fund balance for 2022 is the budgeted use of $300,000 of fund
balance. $50,000 was designated to pay for a professional external race, equity, and
inclusion study and an additional $250,000 is programmed to essentially pay for a
portion of the SAFER Grant firefighters as part of the planned use of fund balance over
the next three years. 2022 is the 3rd and final year of the SAFER Grant, and a $650,000
decline is programmed to occur in funding from 2021. As a result, we are planning to
use additional fund balance in 2023 and 2024. The total is $1,150,000 for all three years
and is as follows:
2022 - $250,000
2023 - $600,000
2024 - $300,000
The use of additional fund balance is being planned for capital needs. More discussion
on this matter will occur at a future workshop as City staff continue to plan for the long-
term financial sustainability for the Equipment Revolving, Facilities Renewal and
Replacement and the Fire Apparatus Funds.

Market Value and Tax Capacity
Tax capacity has increased an average of 8.2% annually over the past 5 years.
Preliminary numbers from Dakota County indicate a 15.2% increase in net tax capacity
for 2023. Property values have now regained all that was lost in the Great Recession a
decade ago, and then some.
Similarly, market value has increased an average rate of 8.4% since 2019. The
preliminary 2023 value of $12.0 billion is up 14.1% from 2022.

Tax Capacity-Based Levy
The tax capacity-based component of the City’s 2023 proposed levy for operations and
debt service is $45,662,631, an increase of $2,594,708 or 6.0% over the 2022 levy of
$43,067,923. The proposed tax capacity rate calculated at .33455 which is significantly
lower than the 2022 rate of .36119. This reduction is the result of the net local levy
increasing disproportionately to the taxable market value in Eagan.
The fiscal disparities distribution and tax increment value amounts for the proposed 2023
budget are estimates. Final amounts are not available until later in August, so the tax
capacity rate calculation is only an estimate.

Total Levy and Levy Allocation
In total, the proposed 2023 tax levy is projected to increase 6.0% from 2022. Below is a
10-year history of the annual levy percentage changes:
In 2023, the city-wide levy is up 6.0% over 2022. The General Fund budget and tax levy
are the main driver in the 6.0% increase as well as the Equipment Revolving Fund (ERF)
tax levy as part of the planned use of fund balance. The planned reduction of the Major
Street bridges levy is offset from the increase in the 2018A Debt service scheduled
increase to replace that levy. A 2% inflationary rate is also set for the capital levies,
including the General Facilities R&R and Parks Systems Development Funds. The other
debt service levies are according to plan and debt service requirements.
13
Property Tax Impact
In general, if the tax levy increases, the total property tax bill the City taxpayers pay will
increase at the same rate if all things stay constant from one year to the next. However,
the property tax impact most always varies from individual property to individual property
due to many factors. If the property is classified as a commercial property versus a
residential property, the class tax rate may be different. In addition, class rates may also
vary based on if the property valued at a certain threshold for the residential property
type. Property valuations also can vary considerably based on the County property
assessments from one year to the next. Again, many factors impact an individual
properties tax bill.
New development is one of the factors that can reduce the overall impact on the existing
tax base, even if the tax levy increases. For taxes payable 2023, Dakota County is
reporting the preliminary tax capacity of all property in Eagan to increase 14.1%, but
1.1% of the increase was due to new construction. Some of the increase is shared with
other communities by way of fiscal disparities, but the growth will reduce the tax impact
for existing property owners if all things are the same.
The value of the average Eagan house increased by 14.0% for 2023 taxes, from
$345,478 to $393,843. The City portion of taxes on the average value home will
increase by $85 (6.9%), from $1,226 to $1,311. Historical data of the City portion of
property taxes on Eagan households as well as the historical change in the average
value of those households is provided in the below tables.

Proposed Next Steps
Staff incorporates City Council direction from this meeting into the proposed
budget and levy.
City Council approves the preliminary levy at the regular meeting on September
6 (or the regular meeting on September 20).
If the City Council feels further consideration is necessary, the budget could be
further discussed at the September 13 Special meeting, as a precursor to
approval at the meeting on September 20. Alternatively, the Council could refer
the budget to the Finance Committee for a meeting in late-August or early-
September.
The preliminary levy must be certified to Dakota County by September 30
The annual Truth-in-Taxation public hearing will be held at the regular City
Council meeting on December 6 with the opportunity to adopt the 2023 budget,
and the 2023 tax levy. If not adopted at the December 6 meeting, the City
Council will be asked to approve the budgets and tax levy at the December 20
City Council meeting.
Public Policy Issues
Is the City Council supportive of the proposed 4.4% increase in the 2023 Budget
and the 6.0% increase in the 2023 Property tax levy adjustment?
Recognizing that the current City Council does not bind future City Council
decisions, is the continued plan for the phased-in tax levy approach and the use
of fund balance in the General Fund acceptable?

Agenda Information Memo
August 8, 2022 Special City Council Meeting
VI. American Rescue Plan Act Funds Update
Direction for Consideration
No formal action is needed. Staff will provide an update on the current status of the ARPA (American
Rescue Plan Act) funds received and uses to date. Staff will also outline a schedule and proposed
spending plan for the use of ARPA funds.
Facts
The City of Eagan received nearly $7 million in ARPA funds for Covid relief and recovery efforts.
Staff last updated the City Council at the January 11, 2022, Council workshop with a draft of
proposed spending and use of funds plan.
Additional refinement of the plan continued based on City Council action, pandemic
progression, United State Treasury’s issuance of the Final ruling (guidance of American Rescue
Plan Act), and identified department needs by the Senior Management Team.
The Final Ruling was issued January of 2022 and allows much more flexibility with the use of
funds by offering a standard allowance for revenue loss of $10 million, allowing recipients to
select between a standard amount of revenue loss or complete a full revenue loss calculation.
Recipients that select the standard allowance may use that amount – in many cases their full
award – for “government services.”
The Plan is devised to best spend the ARPA Funds by maintaining a spending plan in the spirit of
American Rescue Plan Act.
At the January workshop, the Council reviewed the possible uses for ARPA funds, with staff
noting that lost revenue will comprise the bulk of the ARPA fund usage. Those early projections
totaled $4,235,450 into 2024, when the allowable use of funds period ends.
The 2021 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report was recently presented to and accepted by
the City Council at the June 21, 2022 meeting with 2021 results for the Enterprise Recreation
funds being notably improved from the early lost revenue projections that were presented.
Early Projections Current results change
Eagan Community Center 999,000 436,190 562,810
Eagan Civic Arena 183,100 5,100 178,000
Cascade Bay 248,550 ‐ 248,550
1,430,650 441,290 989,360
2021 Lost Revenue Estimates
Improved financial results diminish the need to replace the lost revenue for the Enterprise
Recreation Funds. Projections for the use of funds were revised to reflect the updated financial
results which amounts to $2.7 million in savings.
To date, the City Council has approved $2.2 million of needed capital purchases and projects to
be funded by ARPA monies. Those projects are in process and include:
o $300,000 for technology and accessibility improvements in the Council Chambers to
allow for better access to remote meeting opportunities for the City Council, staff and
the public
o $100,000 for well improvements at Blackhawk Park
o $820,000 for HVAC improvements at the ECC
o $1,000,000 for two Fire engines.
Previously approved COVID policies are programmed to be funded with ARPA funds, including
costs associated with the COVID Leave Policy (leave time for those sick, quarantining, etc.).
Additionally, hiring incentives in the Parks and Recreation Department were included in the
previously presented ARPA plan.
The ARPA plan that was presented at the January workshop included $800,000 for future COVID
mandates/incentives. The most recent plan does not include monies for future mandates.
Collectively, the items above amount to nearly $6.4 million, with the additional capital requests
totaling $3.27 million that were added subsequent to the January workshop.
Should the City have remaining ARPA dollars, projects for future consideration could include:
o Various sewer, water, broadband and infrastructure projects
o Purification systems
o Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Staff will plan to provide another update on the status of the ARPA Plan in Spring of 2023.
Policy Questions for Consideration:
1.) Is the Council supportive of the current plan for utilization of the ARPA funds based on what is
currently known about the pandemic, and its budget impacts?
2.) Does the City Council have any general direction they would like to provide as it relates to the
proposed ARPA plan?

ARPA Funds Schedule ‐ August 8 Workshop
Summary of Proposed ARPA Funds Project Expenditures
City Council Chambers and Eagan Room Technology Improvements
Provide more reliable broadcasts and equipment.
Less staff needed for productions, increased public access, transparency, accessibility, and
reduced maintenance costs.
Will allow public “hybrid” meetings where people can participate remotely and in person.
ESRI upgrade Utility Network Model Architecture
ESRI software inventories, analyzes and architects a variety of assets that the City owns and
maintains such as Utilities, Streets, Parcels, Water Resources, and Fiber Infrastructure resources.
The ESRI upgrade to the Utility Network Model architecture would increase performance,
quality control and add new capabilities when maintaining complex utility‐based GIS data with a
variety of attributes.
ARPA funds will help staff research, prepare, and transition to this new model.
GovQA or Laserfiche for Data Requests
There is a need for a more central and formal process for Police and Administration to receive
data requests.
Online solutions would provide an easier way for requestors to request and receive their data.
A better reporting system to track retention of data and to easily compile reports for council or
staff.
Laserfiche Workflow Improvements
In 2020, the City made a significant investment to upgrade the licensing of our Laserfiche
(document archiving) software to provide us capabilities of using the workflow features to
ingest documents into an online system.
Workflow improvements would increase the productivity of our staff members that review,
append, and ingest data into the Laserfiche system. Workflows automate processes and
eliminating manual tasks such as manually saving each document into the Laserfiche
repository. It also reduces errors in entry of data into the system and improves transparency
and control over data accessibility.
The City currently has two workflow processes in place, Human Resources onboarding and the
Historical Society archiving. ARPA funds would be used to assist multiple departments design
new workflows that will increase their document archiving productivity.
New Permitting Software
Replacement of existing LOGIS permitting software (PIMS)
Purpose is greater transparency for customers, more efficient workflow processes, better
mobile capabilities, and improved integration with other systems
Permitting software is used by many departments for a variety of purposes. Selection will
involve an intradepartmental work group.
Noise Reducing System
Inadequate sound mitigation was installed during the construction of the building.
Assists in quieting the building as noise travels between areas and ensures that the public will
not hear staff discussing investigative matters or private data
Financial Software
LOGIS membership is currently in the process of reviewing responses to an RFP (request for
proposals) for new financial software that includes accounting, human resources, payroll,
accounts payable, budgeting modules to replace our current suite of financial software
applications.
The City of Eagan has used the LOGIS‐supported and locally‐hosted software (JD Edwards,
Hubble) for over 20 years.
Web based software is proposed with many new features that would provide great value to the
finance and HR teams while also providing value to other departments and the citizens of Eagan
with increased functionality and efficiencies.
HVAC for the Eagan Community Center (ECC)
The mechanical system for the ECC is original and was beginning to fail in 2020, and after
consulting a Commercial HVAC specialist, it was recommended to replace system.
Efficiencies should be gained with a new system, along with predictability of performance,
which is critical in a building that hosts large conferences, weddings, family gatherings, and
fitness operations.
The energy management system will also be updated and allows for all of our mechanical
systems to be on the same online management platform for staff to program more consistently.
Fuel System
Located at the Central Maintenance Facility, serves all City‐owned vehicles and equipment.
Two 10,000 gallon unleaded fuel tanks and one 10,000 gallon diesel fuel tank.
Existing fuel tanks installed in 1987, located underground. Recommended life cycle = 30‐years
(reduce risk of fuel leaks).
Blackhawk Well replacements with Fresh Water line
The Blackhawk pavilion and bathroom structure has had chronic maintenance issues. Staff were
told by the well company that a new well would not be a guarantee as a fix because of
challenges at the aquifer level with large amounts of sediment, etc. Staff worked with Utilities
to run a freshwater line from the west to replace this utility need for the location.
Solution is complete and water service at one of our most highly used parks is set for decades.
Rahn Utility Relocation Project
Concurrent with Rahn Park Building Project in 2022, this was identified early in as an issue
where the water line/sewer line would be directly under the new covered patio.
Infrastructure modifications to this caliber were not built into the parks CIP budget for this line
item and qualified for ARPA consideration.
Project allows access to utilities without having to impact new covered pavilion for this site.
Fire Engines
ARPA Funds were used to pay for the replacement of two fire engines in lieu of the issuance of
bonds.
Police Locker Room
The women’s locker room space is full.
The proposed additional space will address current locker shortages and future space needs.
Increase in construction costs has resulted in the need for additional funding to complete the
project.
Radar Speed Trailers
The current speed trailer is over 10 years old and needs to be returned daily to charge. Two
new trailers are proposed for purchase.
The new units can be used year‐round and have security functions that will allow the
department to keep both units out 24‐hours per day.
Real time data can also be obtained versus waiting to download the data when the current
trailer is returned.
River Valley Acre (RVA) Site Improvement Study
The proposed study will address needs at the Citys RVA site, including:
o Site Grading & Drainage (includes Storm Water best management practices)
o Sewer Dumping Station & Vehicle/Equipment Storage
o Public Safety Training Enhancements
