Agenda Memo Eagan City Council Finance Committee Meeting June 7, 2007 V.REVIEW CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS DIRECTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To review the interview format and provide input on interview questions and issues to be addressed. FACTS: ? The City Council interviews for the developers who have submitted proposals for the Cedar Grove redevelopment will be the last item on the Council workshop on June 12. Again, they are Doran-Pratt, JBL Companies, Sherman and Associates and Told Development. ? Copies of the proposals, responses to preliminary questions and a comparison matrix were distributed to all Council members in the June 1, 2007 Additional Information memo. The matrix is enclosed here as well for reference purposes. ? Interview times have been scheduled with the developers. Staff has set expectations for the developers to keep the interviews compact and manageable, but to provide sufficient time for the Council to learn about and interact with the development teams that are proposing to be the City?s partners in one of our key redevelopment areas. ? Each interview will include a five minute introduction of the developer?s team and an overview their approach. We have asked that they include a brief description of team members' experience with mixed use redevelopment and a very brief overview of their intended approach to the Cedar Grove project, using a board of your concept drawing. This will be followed by ten minutes of questions from the Council and five minutes for informal discussion and wrap up. This results in 20 minutes per proposer and there will be a ten minute break between the second and third interview. ? In the Additional Information memo, staff asked all Council members to submit questions. Any questions received from other Council members will be shared with the Committee at Thursday?s meeting. It would be useful for the Committee to provide input on the questions to be included in the final list and/or to identify issues that should be addressed in questions to help differentiate between the proposals.

City of 8a~an demo TO: Finance Committee (Mayor Maguire and Councilmember Carlson) City Administrator Hedges FROM: Director of Administrative Services VanOverbeke DATE: June 1, 2007 SUBJECT: Part III Public Works 2008 - 2012 CIP Meeting Purpose: • To have the Finance Committee review staffs' follow up information resulting from the direction at the Special City Council meeting of May 8, 2007. • To engage discussion on specific public policy questions resulting from the follow up. • To receive direction from the Finance Committee regarding next steps in moving toward approval of the entire 2008 - 2012 Part III Public Works CIP. Introduction After review and discussion of the 2008 - 2012 Part III Public Works CIP at the May 8, 2007 meeting, the City Council concluded that the CIP did a very good job of laying out the projected projects. The draft CIP demonstrates both the City's commitment to properly maintaining and improving its infrastructure and th.e related funding challenge, especially with projects relying on cost sharing with other partners. The Council gave tentative approval to the CIP excluding the section related to Collectors & Arterials. Staff was directed to prepare additional information regarding the financing of Collectors & Arterials for consideration by the Finance Committee as follows: • Explore the relationship between increasing project costs resulting from inflation and saving tax levy dollars or other resources for future use. Determine the feasibility of bonding today versus saving. • Provide information comparing the tax levy for the Major Street Fund to the total budget or tax levy. • Compare future costs for major projects e.g. the overpasses to future Major Street Fund levies in the context of total future levies. • Develop scenarios to allow the designation of revenue sources, primarily additional tax levies. The designations should provide justification to the community that the additional resources are necessary and the only option available and that they are earmarked and protected for the designated future uses. Inflation Impact -Saving for Projects Bond and Build versus Saving then Build Example The following table demonstrates the impact of beginning a new levy at $1,000,000, increasing it by 5% per year, and investing it at 4% until used over a 20-year period. The presentation assumes a 7% inflation increase applied to project costs. Given these assumptions, after year seven the savings account would be $9,116,864 and an original project cost of $6,000,000 would have risen to $9,004,382. The table also shows that a $6,000,000 bond issued at 5% for aten-year term would cost approximately $777,027 annually in debt service. Total debt service over the ten- year period would equal $7,770,274. Annual Savings ThroughTax Levys Debt Rate of Rate of Service Increase: 5% With Inflation: on Payable 4% 7% 10 - Tax Interest Project ~ 6,000,000 Years Year Levy Cummulative Cost 5A0%~ 1 2008 1,000,000 1,000,000 6,000,000 777,027 2 2009 1,050,000 2,090,000 6,420,000 3 2010 1,102,500 3,276,100 6,869,400 4 2011 1,157,625 4,564,769 7,350,258 5 2012 1,215, 506 5, 962, 866 7, 864, 776 6 2013 1,276,282 7,477,662 8,415,310 7 2014 1,340,096 9,116,864 9,004,382 8 2015 1,407,100 10,888,639 9,634,689 9 2016 1,477,455 12,801,640 10,309,117 10 - 2017 1,551,328 14,865,034 11,030,755 7,770,274 11 2018 1,628, 895 17,088, 530 11, 802, 908 12 2019 1,710,339 19,482,411 12,629,112 13 2020 1,795,856 22,057,564 13,513,150 14 2021 1,885,649 24,825,515 14,459,070 1b 2022 1,979,932 27,798,467 15,471,205 - 16 2023 2,078,928 30,989,334 16,554,189 17 2024 2,182,875 34,411,782 17,712,982 18 2025 2,292,018 38,080,272 18,952,891 19 2026 2,406,619 42,010,102 20,279,594 20 ' 2027 2,526,950 46,217,456 21,699,165 - In general, the conclusions to this type of analysis will follow the interest rate and inflation rate assumptions. For example, if the interest rate on the bonds is less than the rate of inflation on the project costs, it will be cheaper to bond and build earlier to fix the construction costs at today's prices. Likewise, if the interest rate for earnings on 2 __ - -__ 3 the money in the savings account is less than the inflation on costs you will fall farther and farther behind by saving to construct. In the scenario presented in the table, there is not much difference in who actually pays the bill in a bond versus save analysis. Since the savings period is seven years and the bond payment term is 10 years, the money will essentially be coming from the same taxpayers. Although not in present value dollars, the total cost is lower with the bonding option, $7.7 versus $9 million, because of fixing the construction cost at $6 million thereby eliminating the inflation on the project cost. This table does not address the costs related to the south overpass component of the ring road. Included in the future category (beyond 2012) of this CIP are project costs (revised) of $11,700,000 (Federal Drive -Duckwood to Yankee Doodle Road $700,000 and Duckwood Drive -Pilot Knob Road to Federal Drive $11,000,000). Depending on the interest rate assumptions and the timing, use of the table would allow one to draw conclusions for the south overpass similar to those reflected above for costs related to the north overpass and other related project costs. Bonding Considerations There are essentially three different bonding scenarios available for use that could be given consideration in developing an overall financing plan for street and highway infrastructure. Each option has restrictions and all would obviously require some sort of dedicated revenue source for repayment. The following bullet points illustrate the more important features and requirements. 1. General Obligation Special Assessment Bonds • Requires 20% of the project cost to be assessed; therefore, the use may be conditional upon a determination to specially assess at least 20% of any particular project. • Repaid through a combination of assessments and other available revenue sources. 2. Street Reconstruction Bonds • Requires unanimous vote of the City Council. • Requires a public hearing. • Subject to reverse referendum through petition. • Potential option available to the City for some maintenance projects. • Debt service payments made through any available revenue sources. 3. Municipal State Aid (MSA) Bonds • Available through dedication of future MSA allocations, which are used to pay the debt service on the bond issue. • Use of bond proceeds available only for MSA eligible projects. Bonding in general will not increase the total amount of dollars available for funding projects, but will only advance those dollars to an earlier time frame. Again, depending on interest rates and inflation, bonding might be a lower total cost option, - __ _ _ __ __ 3 _ __ 4 however. Making more dollars available for construction will result primarily from additional new revenue sources or increases to those already in place. Relationshia of Maior Street Tax Levv to Total Budget or Total Tax Lev The following table demonstrates the relationship between the tax levy going into the Major Street Fund and the total tax levy (excluding debt on the Community Center) over the last five years. It also shows how a $1,000,000 increase in the Major Street Fund levy would change the percentages for payable 2008. Major Major Payable Total Street Street Annual Year Levy'` Levy % of Total Increases 2003 18,463,350 1,102,500 5.97% - 2004 19,337,168 1,150,708 5.95% 4.37% 2005 20,542,914 1,131,802 5.51% -1.64% 2006 21, 557, 307 1,188, 392 5.51 % 5.00% 2007 22,304,562 1,247,812 5.59% 5.00% 9.48% 5.00% 5`,70 2008 24,419 790'.: 2,310,203 ' 9.46% 85:14% 1, 000, 000 "Excluding Community Center The Major Street Fund levy has historically been between 5.5% and 6.0% of the total levy each year depending on circumstances. It has also been increasing at about 5% per year, although payable 2005 was an aberration due to the State's failure to provide MVHC. Per the table for payable 2008, if the total base levy went up 5% and another $1,000,000 was added and dedicated to the Major Street Fund, 9.46% of the tax levy would be dedicated to the Street Fund and the total levy increase would be 9.48%. Options for Dedicated Funding Sources The concept of dedicating new and/or a portion of existing revenues to specific project types or projects on the surface seems to be relatively straightforward. However, the fact that there are already restrictions on the use of MSA dollars and two broad general expenditure areas, i.e. maintenance and -new construction, might cause actual implementation to become problematic. It would likely be challenging to balance the resource needs for the projects in each group, those with dedicated funding, and those competing for the resources in the existing pool. Ultimately, it is likely that there will still be too many projects competing for too few dollars, and there could be an unequal distribution of results between the two project groups. In other words, there is the potential in using two pots of money to get resources and needs out of balance thereby resulting in spending on projects that don't rank as high simply resulting from an incorrect allocation between the pots of money. There is also the potential that requirements for the use of MSA dollars might drive new construction ahead of maintenance, which is contrary to the overall City goal of first maintaining existing infrastructure. Perhaps the new money could be split with a portion dedicated only to overpasses and closely related projects and the balance directed to the current pool and available for ___-_ __ _ _- __ 4 - __ appropriation to projects in the same manner that current resources have been allocated. In general, that would separate the overpasses and closely related projects from the other Collector and Arterial projects which would stay in the present pool. The effective use of a bonding option might require additional flexibility with any new dollars. It also appears to be relatively straightforward to divide projects into two groups; those where the City has no cost sharing partners like the County and State and those where there are partners who theoretically should be cost sharing on the projects. Once the projects are in those two groups establishing priorities will be challenging due to all of the interrelationships and potential for leveraging participation. It might be shortsighted and counter productive for the City to steadfastly dedicate all of its resources categorically to its own streets and needs; thereby, potentially forgoing opportunities to match or to leverage the State andlor Federal governments participation. The attached Exhibit 1 demonstrates in general terms potential options available for the designation of dollars from no designation to specific designations reflecting both existing and new revenues and directed toward specific projects or toward a group of projects. The attached Exhibit 2 demonstrates a broad grouping of Arterial and Collector projects that are proposed for construction in the current 5-year CIP (2008 - 2012) into 4 categories, primarily by location. Projects in two of the four groupings include County participation. There does not appear to be an obvious method in which to group and prioritize projects around County participation. Public Policy Discussion Items What is the appropriate balance between setting up dedicated revenue sources tied to specific uses and maintaining future flexibility across the entire CIP? Long-term flexibility is necessary to provide the ability to ensure that revenues are available for both maintenance (highest City priority) and potential improvements. However, maintaining maximum flexibility could make following and accounting for dedicated revenues problematic. 2. Any consideration for a levy increase needs to be balanced against other City initiatives and the needs of the City's operating budget. Should consideration be given to a tax levy increase during the 2008 budget preparation? 3. How do we deal with TINA projects, which are not a significant component in this CIP? Since so many of the TINA projects include State obligations, should they be left out of today's funding scenarios and longer-term projections? - _ __ 5 _ _- 4. Financing the street and highways portion of the 2008 -- 20.12 Part III Public Works C!P as presented requires all existing 5-year projected revenues ($20,811,240), all reserves ($11,009,000), and includes a deficit ($3,978,000). Removing the north overpass and closely related projects results in a cost reduction of $6,095,000 generating an ending reserve of $2,117,698. Should some additional projects beyond the overpass simply not be included in the CIP to maintain a higher reserve balance? 5. What factor, the CIP needs or the available revenues, ultimately drives the CIP preparation? Preparing a CIP that doesn't include all projects may be problematic as is preparing a CIP that cannot be financed. 6. What happens to proposed City revenue increases, if other revenue sources e.g. MSA dollars are subsequently increased? I believe this information will ~rovide the basis for discussion at the Finance Committee meeting on the 7t . I will be available along with Director of Public Works Colbert to answer any questions that might arise.

REVIEW MANAGEMENT LETTER 2006 DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT Direction for consideration: Receive the management letter report by the independent auditors, Kern DeWenter Viere (KDV), and direct staff to place acceptance of the management letter and comprehensive annual financial report on the June 19 regular City Council agenda. FACTS: • New auditing regulations require independent auditors to communicate certain audit findings directly to the governing body, or an Audit or similar such committee designated by the Council-in Eagan's case, the Finance Committee. • This presentation will eliminate the need for a full audit/financial report presentation during the June 19 regular Council meeting. • The auditors have identified "Controls over year-end closing process" as a material weakness in the City's internal control. This finding is due to audit adjusting entries that were necessary for the government-wide financial statements. The auditors will discuss this finding and their related recommendations in more detail. • Other findings, including insufficient collateralization of deposits by Anchor Bank and ECC fitness room control weaknesses, are identified in the management letter as well. • Audit Manager Janel Bitzan and Advanced Staff Accountant Emily Nahan from KDV will make the presentation to the Finance Committee. • Audit Partner Matt Mayer will briefly present the financial numbers at the June 19 regular Council meeting. ATTACHMENTS: • KDV's management letter is attached on pages ~ through O~~ In CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota Management Letter For the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006 I~DV KERN• DEWENTER•VIERE June 5, 2007 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Eagan Eagan, Minnesota In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the City of Eagan, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards, we considered the City of Eagan, Minnesota's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opirvion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinian on the effectiveness of the City's internal control Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. Also, projection of any evaluation of the internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance may deteriorate. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the City's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the City's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the City's internal control. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the City's internal control. We consider the following deficiency to constitute a material weakness: • Controls over year-end closing process The details regarding this fording are provided later in this letter. '~ I~DV KERN•DeWr-N7L•R VTERE The accompanying memorandum also includes financial trend information and suggestions for improvement of accounting procedures and internal accounting control measures that came to our attention as a result of our audit of the financial statements of the City of Eagan for the year ended December 31, 2006. The matters discussed herein were considered by us during our audit and they do not modify the opinion expressed in our Independent Auditors' Report, dated June 5, 2007, on such statements. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management, others within the City, and state oversight agencies, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. We would like to express our appreciation for the cooperation extended to us by the management and employees of the City during our audit. KERN, DEWENTER, VIERE, LTD. Minneapolis, Minnesota (3 CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota MATTERS OF COMMUNICATION December 31, 2006 We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of Eagan, Minnesota, for the year ended December 31, 2006 and have issued our report dated June 5, 2007. Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit. THE AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBLITY UNDER U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED AUDITING STANDARDS AND GOVERNMENTAUDITINGSTANDARDS As stated in our audit engagement letter, our responsibility, asdescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the basic financial statements are free of material misstatement and are fairly presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because we did not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and not be detected by us As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City. Such considerations were solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management has the responsibility for selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we will advise management about the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 of the financial statements. We noted no significant unusual transactions and no significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. MANAGEMENT JUDGMENTS AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Accounting estimates are an integral part of the basic financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the basic financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimate affecting the financial statements was: • Depreciation -The City is currently depreciating its capital assets over their estimated useful lives, as determined by management, using the straight-line method. We evacuated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the above estimate in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. /~- CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota MATTERS OF COMMITNICATION December 31, 2046 SIGNIFICANT AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS An audit adjustment, whether or not recorded by the City, is a proposed correction of the basic financial statements that, in our judgment, may not have been detected except through our auditing procedures performed. Audit adjustments, individually or in the aggregate, may have a significant effect on the City's financial reporting process. Matters underlying adjustments proposed by us but not recorded by the City could potentially cause future financial statements to be materially misstated, even though we may have concluded that the adjustments are not material to the current fnanciai statements. In our judgment, two of the adjustments we proposed indicate matters that could have a significant effect on the City's financial reporting process. OTHER INFORMATION IN DOCUMENTS CONTAINING AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Management's Discussion and Analysis and statistical section, located in the City's financial statements, is not a required part of the basic fmancial statements but is supplemental information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplemental information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT Disagreements with management, whether or not satisfactorily resolved, are defined as matters that individually or in the aggregate could be significant to the City's financial statements or the auditors' report. Disagreements may occasionally arise over the application of accounting principles to the City's specific transactions and events and the basis for management's judgments about accounting estimates. Disagreements may also arise regazding the scope of the audit, disclosure to be included in the City's fmancial statements, and the wording of the auditors' report. No such disagreements with management occurred during the course of our audit. CONSULTATIONS WITH OTHER ACCOUNTANTS In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. if a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standazds require the consulting accountant to confer with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. We are aware of no consultations by the City's management with other accountants during the course of our audit. /S CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota MATTERS OF COMMUNICATION December 31, 2006 MAJOR ISSUES DISCUSSED WITH MANAGMEMENT PRIOR TO RETENTION We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management prior to retention as the City's auditors. These discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention. DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN PERFORMING THE AUDIT We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management related to the performance of our audit. i~ CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE FINDING December 31, 2006 OBTAIN SUFFICIENT COLLATERAL FOR UNSECURED DEPOSITS The depositories of public funds and public investment laws of Minnesota Statutes 118A.01 and 118A.08 require all deposits with financial institutions be collateralized in an amount equal to 110% of deposits in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance. During out audit, we noted the City's deposits at Anchor Bank were under collateralized as of December 31, 2006 in the amount of $ 735,682. Additional collateral of $ 809,250 was needed to secure these deposits. We recommend the City monitor the cash balances at all depositories to ensure the collateral pledged is sufficient. ~7 CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota MATERIAL WEAKNESS December 31, 2006 CONTROLS OVER THE YEAR-END CLOSING PROCESS During our audit, we proposed audit adjustments that we consider, both individually and in the aggregate, to be quantitatively material to the financial statements. In addition, a prior period adjustment was required to adjust capital asset balances reported in prior years. Material adjustments in the current year were required to adjust contributed capital asset balances, adjust construction in progress balances and recognize newly levied special assessments. Of the four material adjustments, two were identified by City staff and two were identified by the auditors. The circumstances surrounding the adjustments indicate the underlying cause may be a need for additional time prior to the audit to internally perform a detailed, as well as a high-level- analytical, review of the final balances and transactions. We recommend that appropriate time for this review be incorporated into future year-end closing timelines. We also recommend a review of some of the other year-end procedures. It was noted during testing that multiple employees are authorized to draft and also record journal entries into the City's general ledger. However, the employee drafting the entry generally also records the entry without the review or approval of another. We recommend improving the journal entry process by segregating the drafting and the recording process and adding a monitoring function, whereby another employee not directly involved in the drafting or recording of the entry, provides an additional level of review. The City should also be conscious of other situations in the year-end closing process where segregation can be improved among the areas of authorization of transactions, custody of related assets, recording and reconciliation of transactions. While these final recommendations may not have directly impacted the need for audit adjustments in the current year, they do provide an additional level of monitoring and oversight. l~? CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota CONTROL DEFICIENCY December 31, 2006 REVIEW CONTROL ENVIRONMENT AT COMMUNITY CENTER Through testing procedures performed at the community center's fitness room and inquiry of the City department superintendent, it was revealed the controls established by the City were ineffective. The control environment includes use of identification and guest badges for members and guests, patron check-in at main lobby desk staffed by multiple employees, and an employee to monitor the fitness room. All controls were bypassed when tested. We recommend the City review its control measures to ensure their effectiveness over this business function of the City. /9 CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota NEW STANDARDS December 31, 2006 STATEMENTS OF AUDITING STANDARDS (STANDARDS) NOS. 104 -111 In March 2006, the Auditing Standazds Boazd (ASB) issued Statements of Auditing Standazds (Standards) Nos. 104 -111 that provide extensive guidance concerning the auditor's assessment of the risks of material misstatement in a financial statement audit and the design and performance of audit procedures whose nature, timing and extent are in response to the identified assessed risks. Additionally, the Standards establish standards and provide guidance on planning and supervision, the nature of audit evidence and evaluating whether the audit evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for an opinion on the financial statements being audited. These Standards will be effective for audits of financial statements for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2006. Audit teams will be performing additional procedures to gain a more in-depth understanding of the City's environment, including its internal control; including evaluating the design of the controls and determining those controls have been implemented. The audit procedures performed to obtain the necessary understanding are called "risk assessment procedures" and require more than simple inquiries of management. The Standards specifically call for inquiries of management and other personnel, analytical procedures and observation and inspection. The procedures also involve discussions among the audit team to determine whether the potential exists for misstatements. These Standards also expand the documentation requirements for auditors. CONSIDER THE IMPACT OF GASB STATEMENTS NOS. 43 AND 45 In summary, these Standards will result in a substantial change in audit practice. The Standards will strengthen the auditor's understanding of the City and. its environment, including its internal control, to identify the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements and determine what the entity is doing to mitigate those risks. Auditors will identify assessed risks based on the understanding obtained. There will be an improved correlation between those assessed risks and the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures performed in response to those risks. In April and July of 2004, the Governmental Accounting Standazds Board (GASB) issued Statements Nos. 43 and 45, respectively, which provide guidance on financial reporting for Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) plans. GASB Statement No. 43 provides guidance on accounting and financial reporting for plan assets while GASB Statement No. 45 refers to accounting and fmancial reporting for OPEB plans at the local government level, or employer accounting. The City should be reviewing GASB Statement No. 45 for financial statement implications and then GASB Statement No. 43 may or may not apply once the City implements GASB Statement No. 45. Implementation dates range from 2007 to 2009, depending on date of GASB Statement No. 34 implementation. The implementation date for GASB Statement No. 45 for the City of Eagan is the year ending December 31, 2008. The City of Eagan has already taken steps to prepare for these new standards by dedicating $ 1,575,000 from the City's General Fund in 2005 for these future costs, as well as working with collective bazgaining groups to Iimit the future liability. ~~ CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota NEW STANDARDS December 31, 2006 What is OPEB? OPEB are forms of post employment benefits not currently provided through a pension plan. It is a form of compensation given in exchange for employee services. It should be noted any type of post employment benefits based upon compensated absences such as vacation or sick leave are not considered OPEB and should already be accounted for under GASB Statement No. 16. The most common types of OPEB are post employment health care benefits, which includes medical, dental, vision, hearing and other health-related benefits such as Iife insurance, disability and long-term caze. Other benefits, if provided, for compensation, such as lump sum payments based on years of service, are also considered OPEB. Be awaze that even if the City only has retirees that pay 100% of health insurance premiums, GASB Statement No. 45 applies, because of the implicit rate subsidy. What is the Implicit Rate Subsidy? The older an employee is, the higher the medical insurance premium. However, a retiree is allowed to stay on the City's health insurance plan at the same cost as active employees because of Minnesota Statutes Section 471.61, Subd. 2b. This Statute states local government employers must allow employees retiring before age 65 to remain active in the local government's medical plan until Medicare age, even at the employee's expense. The employee can stay in the plan at what is called the blended premium rate. For example, the City's health insurance premium is $ 300/month for all employees, active and retired. The City has one retired employee that pays $ 300/month, the same amount as all active employees because of Minnesota Statutes Section 471.61, Subd. 2b. This retiree is 60 years old and the actual cost of a health insurance premium for a person that age is $ 700/month. The difference of $ 400/month is considered an OPEB liability. Generally, as the retiree ages, the OPEB liability increases. What are the Financial Statement Implications? GASB Statement No. 45 will require local governments to obtain actuarial valuations for OPEB benefits. Currently, most governments, such as cities, account far OPEB benefits on a "Pay as you Go" basis. However, this does not measure the cost of the benefit when the employee renders service, but rather when the cost is paid. Through an actuarial valuation, a determination of the City's ARC, or annual required contribution, will be made. The ARC will measure normal cost, or cost of current service, and the amortization cost, or cost of past service. In other words, the ARC is the contribution required to fund the plan on a current basis. GASB Statement No. 45 does not require funding of the ARC. Any amount of the ARC that is not funded will be recorded on the City's government-wide financial statements as a Net OPEB Obligation. In year one of implementation, the Net OPEB Obligation can be set at zero; GASB Statement No. 45 does not require retroactive measurement. It should also be noted that GASB Statement No. 45 also does not require recording the actuarial accrued liability, which is the total liability of all OPEB benefits as calculated by the actuary. What if the City Funds the ARC? If the Ciry desires to fully or partially fund the ARC, the contribution must be irrevocably transferred to a trust or equivalent arrangement. The plan assets of the trust must be dedicated to a~ CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota NEW STANDARDS December 31, 2006 providing benefits to retirees and beneficiaries according to the terms of the plan and the plans assets must be legally protected from creditors of the employer or plan administrator. Once these three criteria are met, the payment for the ARC will be considered funded, according to GASB Statement No. 45. Setting aside assets in a fund balance reserve or designation does not apply. Once the criteria for full or partial funding of the ARC are met, a pension trust fund will be set up and account for the plan assets. GASB Statement No. 43 will apply for the accounting of the plan assets. When are Actuarial Valuations Required? • At least biennially for OPEB plans with total membership of 200 or more. • At least triennially for OPEB plans with total membership of fewer than 200. • AIternative measurement method available with membership of less than 100 using same broad measurement steps as an actuarial valuation. Does permit simplification of certain assumptions to make method usable to non specialists. Action Items to Implementation 1. Determine the City's OPEB liabilities • Go through all employee contracts and personnel policies. • Remember implicit rate subsidy. 2. Determine if, and when, to hire an actuary. 3. Have actuary explain results of study. Educate your employee groups. Consider changing contract or personnel policy language. 4. Determine whether to fund the ARC, either in whole or in part. This should be addressed by the City Council. 5. If intent is to partially or fully fund the ARC, investigate trust arrangements. Realize the Office of the State Auditor has taken the position there is no statutory authority for a local government to set up a trust for an OPEB plan. This issue will have to be addressed legislatively. 6. Communicate your plans to us. As your auditors, we are available to guide you through the implementation process. Agenda Memo June 7, 2007 Finance Committee Meeting IV: REVIEW PARKS DEDICATION FEE STRUCTURE,BOULDER LAKES PARK DEDICATION FEE FACTS • The City of Eagan was alerted to the need to comply with legislative requirements pertaining to commercial/industrial parks dedication by the City Attorney in the latter part of 2006. • After much review from staff and advice from the City Attorney, the Advisory Parks Commission proposed changes to the commercial/industrial parks dedication at their November 20, 2006 meeting to come into compliance with the new legislation. • The Boulder Ridge development is the first development to go through the review process using the new formula for calculating dedication fees. • The City Council asked the Finance Committee to further review this policy to determine how best to move forward with the Boulder Ridge development, and subsequent developments, to meet the legislative requirements for parks dedication. • Several policy questions have been identified for the committee to consider. ATTACHMENTS: • Background memo on pages a3 City of Ea~a~ Memo To: Tom Hedges, City Administrator From: Juli Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks and Recreation Date: June 1, 2007 Subject: CommerciaUIndustrial Parks Dedication-Boulder Ridge Business Park BACKGROUND: • The City of Eagan was alerted to the need to comply with Legislative requirements pertaining to commercial/industrial parks dedication by the City Attorney in the latter part of 2006. • After much review from staff, based upon input from the City Attorney, the Advisory Parks Commission proposed changes to the commercial/industrial parks dedication at their November 20, 2006 meeting to come into compliance with the new legislation. The commerciaUindustrial park dedication formula was approved by the Council at their November 21, 2006 meeting. The information included at that time was: o Recent Legislation requires a consistent and just able approach to determining the amount of park dedication, be it cash or land, required of a developer. Said approach should reflect the potential impact the development would have on the park system. As a result the City Attorney has advised that aspects of the current City dedication process be amended. o Currently, city park dedication for residential developments is determined through a formula that includes an "acres per person "constant while the commercial/industrial calculation is based upon "net buildable acres ". o The amended formula is modeled after examples, provided by the City Attorney, of the method used in other neighboring municipalities, and is based upon the same "acres per person "constant used in calculating dedication for residential developments in the city, with credit given for the non-resident status of potential employees. o In some instances, depending upon the development application, the amended method of calculation will result in the amount of dedication being slightly more (large building on a small site), but occasionally less(small building on a large site), than that resulting from the current use of "net buildable acres ". o The amended method of calculation can be used for determining a dedication of either cash or land. o The City Attorney and Advisory Parks Commission have reviewed the proposed amendment. • The fees were ratified as part of the 2007 Fee Schedule in December 2006. • The City Council took another look at the formula and approved changes to the language to simplify the instruction at their March 6, 2007 meeting. o The 2007 Parks and Trails dedication fees were approved as part of the overall fee structure by the City Council in December 2006. a~- o The description of the new calculation for the industriaUcommercial portion of the parks dedication had led to several questions and a level of confusion as to how the fees should be calculated. o To simplify the process the Park Dedication Policy document was simplified to better state how these rates are to be calculated and to show the standard rate. o This change did not alter any portion of the approved policy other than to clarify and simplify for potential developers how this fee is calculated. • A recent survey of other metro cities shows Eagan to be the second highest fee based upon a comparison used for the Boulder Ridge development. (Using Eagan's prior formula, we would be one of the lowest fees). It should also be noted that according to the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association, less than 25% of cities are currently meeting the legislative mandate. Eagan is considered to be in compliance.

PARKS DEDICATION • The current Park Dedication Policy states, The preservation of land for park, playground and public open space purposes as it relates to the use and development of land for residential, commercial/industrial purposes is essential to maintaining a healthful and desirable environment for all citizens of the City. It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park, playground and public open space within a municipality is directly related to the density and intensity of development permitted and allowed within any given area. It is the policy of Eagan that the standards and guidelines for the dedication of land for park, playground and public open space purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of such dedication) in the subdividing and developing of land within the city shall be directly related to the density and intensity of each subdivision and development. • The calculated park dedication fee for the 110,000 square foot commerciaUindustrial Boulder Ridge building was calculated to be $165,790. The 2006 calculation would have been $48,032. • It was the opinion of the City Attorney, and recommended by the APrC, that the new formula represents a clearer nexus between potential park users within acommercial/industrial development and the potential impact on existing park facilities. When this proposal came before the Advisory Parks Commission in April 2007 there were no park amenities proposed within the development. O'4J~ • While it may be difficult to quantify casual use of park amenities near commerciaUindustrial properties, it is clear that they are strong participants in programs and frequent users of parks and pavilions. POLICY DISCUSSION • Is the 2007 Parks Dedication fee structure appropriate for commerciaUindustrial development? • If not, what parameters need to be defined to refine the fee structure while maintaining compliance with the Legislative mandate? TRAIL DEDICATION • The Boulder Ridge development trail dedication is calculated to be $13,848. • The development proposes internal trails that would cost approximately $130,000 -156,000 which includes the completion of trails for this first phase building along with all subsequent future phases. • The developer has asked that the City of Eagan build the trails and have offered to maintain them. (The City Attorney has advised that whomever builds the trails should also maintain them) POLICY DISCUSSION • Do all the proposed trails for this development provide a public benefit? o If no, ^ Which portions might be considered for transportation purposes and which might be considered for internal use only? ^ How would the trail dedication credit be applied to the trail construction costs? ^ Who would construct and maintain each portion? o If yes, ^ After the trail dedication credit is applied to the trail construction costs how is the balance funded? ^ If installed by the Developer, should the cost of trails be a credit towards the park dedication? ^ Who would construct and maintain the trails? ^ Construction and maintenance by City of Eagan would require easements and construction before all phases are built which may preclude changes to the plan in the future.

REVIEW CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS DIRECTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To review the interview format and provide input on interview questions and issues to be addressed. FACTS: • The City Council interviews for the developers who have submitted proposals for the Cedar Grove redevelopment will be the last item on the Council workshop on June 12. Again, they are Doran-Pratt, JBL Companies, Sherman and Associates and Told Development. • Copies of the proposals, responses to preliminary questions and a comparison matrix were distributed to all Council members in the June 1, 2007 Additional Information memo. The matrix is enclosed here as well for reference purposes. • Interview times have been scheduled with the developers. Staff has set expectations for the developers to keep the interviews compact and manageable, but to provide sufficient time for the Council to learn about and interact with the development teams that are proposing to be the City's partners in one of our key redevelopment areas.. • Each interview will include a five minute introduction of the developer's team and an overview their approach. We have asked that they include a brief description of team members' experience with mixed use redevelopment and a very brief overview of their intended approach to the Cedar Grove project, using a board of your concept drawing. This will be followed by ten minutes of questions from the Council and five minutes for informal discussion and wrap up. This results in 20 minutes per proposer and there will beaten minute break between the second and third interview. • In the Additional Information memo, staff asked all Council members to submit questions. Any questions received from other Council members will be shared with the Committee at Thursday's meeting. It would be useful for the Committee to provide input on the questions to be included in the final list and/or to identify issues that should be addressed in questions to help differentiate between the proposals.

ADJOURNMENT Agenda Information Memo June 7, 2007 Finance Committee Meeting II. REVIEW PUBLIC WORKS CIP FOR ARTERIALS & COLLECTORS ACTION TO BE DISCUSSED: Review the proposed 5 yr CIP for Arterials and Collectors and discuss various funding options. FACTS: • At the May 15 Council Workshop, the Council reviewed and discussed the Public Works Department 5 yr CIP (2008-2012) and endorsed all of it with the exception of the Arterial & Collector street improvements. Due to the significant impact that this section had on the financial projections for the Major Street Fund, the Council directed further review and consideration of this CIP segment to the Finance Committee. • The Council had expressed some interest in considering various options to addressing the long range funding shortfall of not only the immediate 5 yr CIP, but also the longer range Transportation Infrastructure Needs Analysis (TINA). The Directors of Administrative Services and Public Works have prepared a list of policy funding options to facilitate this discussion and will be available to help formulate viable recommendations for the Committee to submit to the full Council for formal consideration on June 17. ATTACHMENTS: • Staff memo, pages through City of Evan Memo TO: Finance Committee (Mayor Maguire and Councilmember Carlson) City Administrator Hedges FROM: Director of Administrative Services VanOverbeke DATE: June 1, 2007 SUBJECT: Part III Public Works 2008 - 2012 CIP Meeting Purpose: • To have the Finance Committee review staffs' follow up information resulting from the direction at the Special City Council meeting of May 8, 2007. • To engage discussion on specific public policy questions resulting from the follow up. • To receive direction from the Finance Committee regarding next steps in moving toward approval of the entire 2008 - 2012 Part III Public Works CIP. Introduction After review and discussion of the 2008 - 2012 Part III Public Works CIP at the May 8, 2007 meeting, the City Council concluded that the CIP did a very good job of laying out the projected projects. The draft CIP demonstrates both the City's commitment to properly maintaining and improving its infrastructure and the related funding challenge, especially with projects relying on cost sharing with other partners. The Council gave tentative approval to the CIP excluding the section related to Collectors & Arterials. Staff was directed to prepare additional information regarding the financing of Collectors & Arterials for consideration by the Finance Committee as follows: • Explore the relationship between increasing project costs resulting from inflation and saving tax levy dollars or other resources for future use. Determine the feasibility of bonding today versus saving. • Provide information comparing the tax levy for the Major Street Fund to the total budget or tax levy. • Compare future costs for major projects e.g. the overpasses to future Major Street Fund levies in the context of total future levies. • Develop scenarios to allow the designation of revenue sources, primarily additional tax levies. The designations should provide justification to the community that the additional resources are necessary and the only option cz? available and that they are earmarked and protected for the designated future uses. Inflation Impact - Saving for Projects Bond and Build versus Saving then Build Example The following table demonstrates the impact of beginning a new levy at $1,000,000, increasing it by 5% per year, and investing it at 4% until used over a 20-year period. The presentation assumes a 7% inflation increase applied to project costs. Given these assumptions, after year seven the savings account would be $9,116,864 and an original project cost of $6,000,000 would have risen to $9,004,382. The table also shows that a $6,000,000 bond issued at 5% for a ten-year term would cost approximately $777,027 annually in debt service. Total debt service over the ten- year period would equal $7,770,274.

For example, if the interest rate on the bonds is less than the rate of inflation on the project costs, it will be cheaper to bond and build earlier to fix the construction costs at today's prices. Likewise, if the interest rate for earnings on 3 the money in the savings account is less than the inflation on costs you will fall farther and farther behind by saving to construct. In the scenario presented in the table, there is not much difference in who actually pays the bill in a bond versus save analysis. Since the savings period is seven years and the bond payment term is 10 years, the money will essentially be coming from the same taxpayers. Although not in present value dollars, the total cost is lower with the bonding option, $7.7 versus $9 million, because of fixing the construction cost at $6 million thereby eliminating the inflation on the project cost. This table does not address the costs related to the south overpass component of the ring road. Included in the future category (beyond 2012) of this CIP are project costs (revised) of $11,700,000 (Federal Drive - Duckwood to Yankee Doodle Road $700,000 and Duckwood Drive - Pilot Knob Road to Federal Drive $11,000,000). Depending on the interest rate assumptions and the timing, use of the table would allow one to draw conclusions for the south overpass similar to those reflected above for costs related to the north overpass and other related project costs. Bonding Considerations There are essentially three different bonding scenarios available for use that could be given consideration in developing an overall financing plan for street and highway infrastructure. Each option has restrictions and all would obviously require some sort of dedicated revenue source for repayment. The following bullet points illustrate the more important features and requirements. 1. General Obligation Special Assessment Bonds • Requires 20% of the project cost to be assessed; therefore, the use may be conditional upon a determination to specially assess at least 20% of any particular project. • Repaid through a combination of assessments and other available revenue sources. 2. Street Reconstruction Bonds • Requires unanimous vote of the City Council. • Requires a public hearing. • Subject to reverse referendum through petition. • Potential option available to the City for some maintenance projects. • Debt service payments made through any available revenue sources. 3. Municipal State Aid (MSA) Bonds • Available through dedication of future MSA allocations, which are used to pay the debt service on the bond issue. Use of bond proceeds available only for MSA eligible projects. Bonding in general will not increase the total amount of dollars available for funding projects, but will only advance those dollars to an earlier time frame. Again, depending on interest rates and inflation, bonding might be a lower total cost option, 3 however. Making more dollars available for construction will result primarily from additional new revenue sources or increases to those already in place. Relationship of Major Street Tax Levy to Total Budget or Total Tax Levy The following table demonstrates the relationship between the tax levy going into the Major Street Fund and the total tax levy (excluding debt on the Community Center) over the last five years. It also shows how a $1,000,000 increase in the Major Street Fund levy would change the percentages for payable 2008. Major Major Payable Total Street Street Annual Year Levy* Levy % of Total Increases 2003 18,463,350 1,102,500 5.97% - 2004 19, 337,168 1,150, 708 5,95% 4.37% 2005 20,542,914 1,131,802 5.51% -1.64% 2006 21, 557, 307 1,188, 392 5,51% 5.00% 2007 22,304,562 1,247,812 5.59% 5.00% 9.48% 5.00% 5% 2008 24,419,790 2,310,203 9.46% 85.14% 1,000,000 * Excluding Community Center The Major Street Fund levy has historically been between 5.5% and 6.0% of the total levy each year depending on circumstances. It has also been increasing at about 5% per year, although payable 2005 was an aberration due to the State's failure to provide MVHC. Per the table for payable 2008, if the total base levy went up 5% and another $1,000,000 was added and dedicated to the Major Street Fund, 9.46% of the tax levy would be dedicated to the Street Fund and the total levy increase would be 9.48%. Options for Dedicated Funding Sources The concept of dedicating new and/or a portion of existing revenues to specific project types or projects on the surface seems to be relatively straightforward. However, the fact that there are already restrictions on the use of MSA dollars and two broad general expenditure areas, i.e. maintenance and new construction, might cause actual implementation to become problematic. It would likely be challenging to balance the resource needs for the projects in each group, those with dedicated funding, and those competing for the resources in the existing pool. Ultimately, it is likely that there will still be too many projects competing for too few dollars, and there could be an unequal distribution of results between the two project groups. In other words, there is the potential in using two pots of money to get resources and needs out of balance thereby resulting in spending on projects that don't rank as high simply resulting from an incorrect allocation between the pots of money. There is also the potential that requirements for the use of MSA dollars might drive new construction ahead of maintenance, which is contrary to the overall City goal of first maintaining existing infrastructure. Perhaps the new money could be split with a portion dedicated only to overpasses and closely related projects and the balance directed to the current pool and available for 4 5 appropriation to projects in the same manner that current resources have been allocated. In general, that would separate the overpasses and closely related projects from the other Collector and Arterial projects which would stay in the present pool. The effective use of a bonding option might require additional flexibility with any new dollars. It also appears to be relatively straightforward to divide projects into two groups; those where the City has no cost sharing partners like the County and State and those where there are partners who theoretically should be cost sharing on the projects. Once the projects are in those two groups establishing priorities will be challenging due to all of the interrelationships and potential for leveraging participation. It might be shortsighted and counter productive for the City to steadfastly dedicate all of its resources categorically to its own streets and needs; thereby, potentially forgoing opportunities to match or to leverage the State and/or Federal government's participation. The attached Exhibit 1 demonstrates in general terms potential options available for the designation of dollars from no designation to specific designations reflecting both existing and new revenues and directed toward specific projects or toward a group of projects. The attached Exhibit 2 demonstrates a broad grouping of Arterial and Collector projects that are proposed for construction in the current 5-year CIP (2008 - 2012) into 4 categories, primarily by location. Projects in two of the four groupings include County participation. There does not appear to be an obvious method in which to group and prioritize projects around County participation. Public Policy Discussion Items What is the appropriate balance between setting up dedicated revenue sources tied to specific uses and maintaining future flexibility across the entire CIP? Long-term flexibility is necessary to provide the ability to ensure that revenues are available for both maintenance (highest City priority) and potential improvements. However, maintaining maximum flexibility could make following and accounting for dedicated revenues problematic. 2. Any consideration for a levy increase needs to be balanced against other City initiatives and the needs of the City's operating budget. Should consideration be given to a tax levy increase during the 2008 budget preparation? 3. How do we deal with TINA projects, which are not a significant component in this CIP? Since so many of the TINA projects include State obligations, should they be left out of today's funding scenarios and longer-term projections? 5 4. Financing the street and highways portion of the 2008 -- 2012 Part III Public Works CIP as presented requires all existing 5-year projected revenues ($20,811,240), all reserves ($11,009,000), and includes a deficit ($3,978,000). Removing the north overpass and closely related projects results in a cost reduction of $6,095,000 generating an ending reserve of $2,117,698. Should some additional projects beyond the overpass simply not be included in the CIP to maintain a higher reserve balance? 5. What factor, the CIP needs or the available revenues, ultimately drives the CIP preparation? Preparing a CIP that doesn't include all projects may be problematic as is preparing a CIP that cannot be financed. 6. What happens to proposed City revenue increases, if other revenue sources e.g. MSA dollars are subsequently increased? I believe this information will ?rovide the basis for discussion at the Finance Committee meeting on the 7t . I will be available along with Director of Public Works Colbert to answer any questions that might arise.

REVIEW MANAGEMENT LETTER 2006 DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT Direction for consideration: Receive the management letter report by the independent auditors, Kern DeWenter Viere (KDV), and direct staff to place acceptance of the management letter and comprehensive annual financial report on the June 19 regular City Council agenda. FACTS: • New auditing regulations require independent auditors to communicate certain audit findings directly to the governing body, or an Audit or similar such committee designated by the Council-in Eagan's case, the Finance Committee. • This presentation will eliminate the need for a full audit/financial report presentation during the June 19 regular Council meeting. • The auditors have identified "Controls over year-end closing process" as a material weakness in the City's internal control. This finding is due to audit adjusting entries that were necessary for the government-wide financial statements. The auditors will discuss this finding and their related recommendations in more detail. • Other findings, including insufficient collateralization of deposits by Anchor Bank and ECC fitness room control weaknesses, are identified in the management letter as well. • Audit Manager Janel Bitzan and Advanced Staff Accountant Emily Nahan from KDV will make the presentation to the Finance Committee. • Audit Partner Matt Mayer will briefly present the financial numbers at the June 19 regular Council meeting. ATTACHMENTS: • KDV's management letter is attached on pages through 10 CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota Management Letter For the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006 KIIYV KERN. DEWENTER.VIERE June 5, 2007 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Eagan Eagan, Minnesota In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the City of Eagan, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards, we considered the City of Eagan, Minnesota's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. Also, projection of any evaluation of the internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance may deteriorate. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the City's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the City's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the City's internal control. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the City's internal control. We consider the following deficiency to constitute a material weakness: • Controls over year-end closing process The details regarding this finding are provided later in this letter. 1 d\ KIJV KERN•DEWLNTER VtERL The accompanying memorandum also includes financial trend information and suggestions for improvement of accounting procedures and internal accounting control measures that came to our attention as a result of our audit of the financial statements of the City of Eagan for the year ended December 31, 2006. The matters discussed herein were considered by us during our audit and they do not modify the opinion expressed in our Independent Auditors' Report, dated June 5, 2007, on such statements. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management, others within the City, and state oversight agencies, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. We would like to express our appreciation for the cooperation extended to us by the management and employees of the City during our audit. KERN, DEWENTER, VIERE, LTD. Minneapolis, Minnesota 13 CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota MATTERS OF COMMUNICATION December 31, 2006 We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of Eagan, Minnesota, for the year ended December 31, 2006 and have issued our report dated June 5, 2007. Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit. THE AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBLITY UNDER U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED AUDITING STANDARDS AND GOVERNMENT A UDITING STANDARDS As stated in our audit engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the basic financial statements are free of material misstatement and are fairly presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because we did not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and not be detected by us As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City. Such considerations were solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management has the responsibility for selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we will advise management about the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note I of the financial statements. We noted no significant unusual transactions and no significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. MANAGEMENT JUDGMENTS AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Accounting estimates are an integral part of the basic financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the basic financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimate affecting the financial statements was: • Depreciation - The City is currently depreciating its capital assets over their estimated useful lives, as determined by management, using the straight-line method. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the above estimate in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota MATTERS OF COMMUNICATION December 31, 2006 SIGNIFICANT AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS An audit adjustment, whether or not recorded by the City, is a proposed correction of the basic financial statements that, in our judgment, may not have been detected except through our auditing procedures performed. Audit adjustments, individually or in the aggregate, may have a significant effect on the City's financial reporting process. Matters underlying adjustments proposed by us but not recorded by the City could potentially cause future financial statements to be materially misstated, even though we may have concluded that the adjustments are not material to the current financial statements. In our judgment, two of the adjustments we proposed indicate matters that could have a significant effect on the City's financial reporting process. OTHER INFORMATION IN DOCUMENTS CONTAINING AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Management's Discussion and Analysis and statistical section, located in the City's financial statements, is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplemental information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplemental information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT Disagreements with management, whether or not satisfactorily resolved, are defined as matters that individually or in the aggregate could be significant to the City's financial statements or the auditors' report. Disagreements may occasionally arise over the application of accounting principles to the City's specific transactions and events and the basis for management's judgments about accounting estimates. Disagreements may also arise regarding the scope of the audit, disclosure to be included in the City's financial statements, and the wording of the auditors' report. No such disagreements with management occurred during the course of our audit. CONSULTATIONS WITH OTHER ACCOUNTANTS In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to confer with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. We are aware of no consultations by the City's management with other accountants during the course of our audit. CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota MATTERS OF COMMUNICATION December 31, 2006 MAJOR ISSUES DISCUSSED WITH MANAGMEMENT PRIOR TO RETENTION We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management prior to retention as the City's auditors. These discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention. DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN PERFORMING THE AUDIT We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management related to the performance of our audit. `Lp CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE FINDING December 31, 2006 OBTAIN SUFFICIENT COLLATERAL FOR UNSECURED DEPOSITS The depositories of public funds and public investment laws of Minnesota Statutes 118A.01 and 118A.08 require all deposits with financial institutions be collateralized in an amount equal to 110% of deposits in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance. During out audit, we noted the City's deposits at Anchor Bank were under collateralized as of December 31, 2006 in the amount of $ 735,682. Additional collateral of $ 809,250 was needed to secure these deposits. We recommend the City monitor the cash balances at all depositories to ensure the collateral pledged is sufficient. !7 CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota MATERIAL WEAKNESS December 31, 2006 CONTROLS OVER THE YEAR-END CLOSING PROCESS During our audit, we proposed audit adjustments that we consider, both individually and in the aggregate, to be quantitatively material to the financial statements. In addition, a prior period adjustment was required to adjust capital asset balances reported in prior years. Material adjustments in the current year were required to adjust contributed capital asset balances, adjust construction in progress balances and recognize newly levied special assessments. Of the four material adjustments, two were identified by City staff and two were identified by the auditors. The circumstances surrounding the adjustments indicate the underlying cause may be a need for additional time prior to the audit to internally perform a detailed, as well as a high-level- analytical, review of the final balances and transactions. We recommend that appropriate time for this review be incorporated into future year-end closing timelines. We also recommend a review of some of the other year-end procedures. It was noted during testing that multiple employees are authorized to draft and also record journal entries into the City's general ledger. However, the employee drafting the entry generally also records the entry without the review or approval of another. We recommend improving the journal entry process by segregating the drafting and the recording process and adding a monitoring function, whereby another employee not directly involved in the drafting or recording of the entry, provides an additional level of review. The City should also be conscious of other situations in the year-end closing process where segregation can be improved among the areas of authorization of transactions, custody of related assets, recording and reconciliation of transactions. While these final recommendations may not have directly impacted the need for audit adjustments in the current year, they do provide an additional level of monitoring and oversight. lF CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota CONTROL DEFICIENCY December 31, 2006 REVIEW CONTROL ENVIRONMENT AT COMMUNITY CENTER Through testing procedures performed at the community center's fitness room and inquiry of the City department superintendent, it was revealed the controls established by the City were ineffective. The control environment includes use of identification and guest badges for members and guests, patron check-in at main lobby desk staffed by multiple employees, and an employee to monitor the fitness room. All controls were bypassed when tested. We recommend the City review its control measures to ensure their effectiveness over this business function of the City. Iq CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota NEW STANDARDS December 31, 2006 STATEMENTS OF AUDITING STANDARDS (STANDARDS) NOS. 104 -111 In March 2006, the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) issued Statements of Auditing Standards (Standards) Nos. 104 -- 111 that provide extensive guidance concerning the auditor's assessment of the risks of material misstatement in a financial statement audit and the design and performance of audit procedures whose nature, timing and extent are in response to the identified assessed risks. Additionally, the Standards establish standards and provide guidance on planning and supervision, the nature of audit evidence and evaluating whether the audit evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for an opinion on the financial statements being audited. These Standards will be effective for audits of financial statements for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2006. Audit teams will be performing additional procedures to gain a more in-depth understanding of the City's environment, including its internal control; including evaluating the design of the controls and determining those controls have been implemented. The audit procedures performed to obtain the necessary understanding are called "risk assessment procedures" and require more than simple inquiries of management. The Standards specifically call for inquiries of management and other personnel, analytical procedures and observation and inspection. The procedures also involve discussions among the audit team to determine whether the potential exists for misstatements. These Standards also expand the documentation requirements for auditors. CONSIDER THE IMPACT OF GASB STATEMENTS NOS. 43 AND 45 In summary, these Standards will result in a substantial change in audit practice. The Standards will strengthen the auditor's understanding of the City and its environment, including its internal control, to identify the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements and determine what the entity is doing to mitigate those risks. Auditors will identify assessed risks based on the understanding obtained. There will be an improved correlation between those assessed risks and the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures performed in response to those risks. In April and July of 2004, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statements Nos. 43 and 45, respectively, which provide guidance on financial reporting for Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) plans. GASB Statement No. 43 provides guidance on accounting and financial reporting for plan assets while GASB Statement No. 45 refers to accounting and financial reporting for OPEB plans at the local government level, or employer accounting. The City should be reviewing GASB Statement No. 45 for financial statement implications and then GASB Statement No. 43 may or may not apply once the City implements GASB Statement No. 45. Implementation dates range from 2007 to 2009, depending on date of GASB Statement No. 34 implementation. The implementation date for GASB Statement No. 45 for the City of Eagan is the year ending December 31, 2008. The City of Eagan has already taken steps to prepare for these new standards by dedicating $ 1,575,000 from the City's General Fund in 2005 for these future costs, as well as working with collective bargaining groups to limit the future liability. aC) CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota NEW STANDARDS December 31, 2006 What is OPEB? OPEB are forms of post employment benefits not currently provided through a pension plan. It is a form of compensation given in exchange for employee services. It should be noted any type of post employment benefits based upon compensated absences such as vacation or sick leave are not considered OPEB and should already be accounted for under GASB Statement No. 16. The most common types of OPEB are post employment health care benefits, which includes medical, dental, vision, hearing and other health-related benefits such as life insurance, disability and long-term care. Other benefits, if provided, for compensation, such as lump sum payments based on years of service, are also considered OPEB. Be aware that even if the City only has retirees that pay 100% of health insurance premiums, GASB Statement No. 45 applies, because of the implicit rate subsidy. What is the Implicit Rate Subsidy? The older an employee is, the higher the medical insurance premium. However, a retiree is allowed to stay on the City's health insurance plan at the same cost as active employees because of Minnesota Statutes Section 471.61, Subd. 2b. This Statute states local government employers must allow employees retiring before age 65 to remain active in the local government's medical plan until Medicare age, even at the employee's expense. The employee can stay in the plan at what is called the blended premium rate. For example, the City's health insurance premium is $ 300/month for all employees, active and retired. The City has one retired employee that pays $ 300/month, the same amount as all active employees because of Minnesota Statutes Section 471.61, Subd. 2b. This retiree is 60 years old and the actual cost of a health insurance premium for a person that age is $ 700/month. The difference of $ 400/month is considered an OPEB liability. Generally, as the retiree ages, the OPEB liability increases. What are the Financial Statement Implications? GASB Statement No. 45 will require local governments to obtain actuarial valuations for OPEB benefits. Currently, most governments, such as cities, account for OPEB benefits on a "Pay as you Go" basis. However, this does not measure the cost of the benefit when the employee renders service, but rather when the cost is paid. Through an actuarial valuation, a determination of the City's ARC, or annual required contribution, will be made. The ARC will measure normal cost, or cost of current service, and the amortization cost, or cost of past service. In other words, the ARC is the contribution required to fund the plan on a current basis. GASB Statement No. 45 does not require funding of the ARC. Any amount of the ARC that is not funded will be recorded on the City's government-wide financial statements as a Net OPEB Obligation. In year one of implementation, the Net OPEB Obligation can be set at zero; GASB Statement No. 45 does not require retroactive measurement. It should also be noted that GASB Statement No. 45 also does not require recording the actuarial accrued liability, which is the total liability of all OPEB benefits as calculated by the actuary. What if the City Funds the ARC? If the City desires to fully or partially fund the ARC, the contribution must be irrevocably transferred to a trust or equivalent arrangement. The plan assets of the trust must be dedicated to a1 CITY OF EAGAN Dakota County, Minnesota NEW STANDARDS December 31, 2006 providing benefits to retirees and beneficiaries according to the terms of the plan and the plans assets must be legally protected from creditors of the employer or plan administrator. Once these three criteria are met, the payment for the ARC will be considered funded, according to GASB Statement No. 45. Setting aside assets in a fund balance reserve or designation does not apply. Once the criteria for full or partial funding of the ARC are met, a pension trust fund will be set up and account for the plan assets. GASB Statement No. 43 will apply for the accounting of the plan assets. When are Actuarial Valuations Required? • At least biennially for OPEB plans with total membership of 200 or more. • At least triennially for OPEB plans with total membership of fewer than 200. • Alternative measurement method available with membership of less than 100 using same broad measurement steps as an actuarial valuation. Does permit simplification of certain assumptions to make method usable to non specialists. Action Items to Implementation 1. Determine the City's OPEB liabilities • Go through all employee contracts and personnel policies. • Remember implicit rate subsidy. 2. Determine if, and when, to hire an actuary. 3. Have actuary explain results of study. Educate your employee groups. Consider changing contract or personnel policy language. 4. Determine whether to fund the ARC, either in whole or in part. This should be addressed by the City Council. 5. If intent is to partially or fully fund the ARC, investigate trust arrangements. Realize the Office of the State Auditor has taken the position there is no statutory authority for a local government to set up a trust for an OPEB plan. This issue will have to be addressed legislatively. 6. Communicate your plans to us. As your auditors, we are available to guide you through the implementation process. as Agenda Memo June 7, 2007 Finance Committee Meeting IV: REVIEW PARKS DEDICATION FEE STRUCTURE/BOULDER LAKES PARK DEDICATION FEE FACTS • The City of Eagan was alerted to the need to comply with legislative requirements pertaining to commercial/industrial parks dedication by the City Attorney in the latter part of 2006. • After much review from staff and advice from the City Attorney, the Advisory Parks Commission proposed changes to the commercial/industrial parks dedication at their November 20, 2006 meeting to come into compliance with the new legislation. • The Boulder Ridge development is the first development to go through the review process using the new formula for calculating dedication fees. • The City Council asked the Finance Committee to further review this policy to determine how best to move forward with the Boulder Ridge development, and subsequent developments, to meet the legislative requirements for parks dedication. • Several policy questions have been identified for the committee to consider. ATTACHMENTS: • Background memo on pages a3 City of Eap demo To: Tom Hedges, City Administrator From: Juli Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks and Recreation Date: June 1, 2007 Subject: Commercial/Industrial Parks Dedication-Boulder Ridge Business Park BACKGROUND: • The City of Eagan was alerted to the need to comply with Legislative requirements pertaining to commercial/industrial parks dedication by the City Attorney in the latter part of 2006. • After much review from staff, based upon input from the City Attorney, the Advisory Parks Commission proposed changes to the commercial/industrial parks dedication at their November 20, 2006 meeting to come into compliance with the new legislation. The commercial/industrial park dedication formula was approved by the Council at their November 21, 2006 meeting. The information included at that time was: o Recent Legislation requires a consistent and justifiable approach to determining the amount of park dedication, be it cash or land, required of a developer. Said approach should reflect the potential impact the development would have on the park system. As a result the City Attorney has advised that aspects of the current City dedication process be amended. o Currently, city park dedication, for residential developments is determined through a formula that includes an "acres per person " constant while the commercial/industrial calculation is based upon "net buildable acres ". o The amended formula is modeled after examples, provided by the City Attorney, of the method used in other neighboring municipalities, and is based upon the same "acres per person" constant used in calculating dedication for residential developments in the city, with credit given for the non-resident status of potential employees. o In some instances, depending upon the development application, the amended method of calculation will result in the amount of dedication being slightly more (large building on a small site), but occasionally less(small building on a large site), than that resulting from the current use of "net buildable acres ". o The amended method of calculation can be used for determining a dedication of either cash or land. o The City Attorney and Advisory Parks Commission have reviewed the proposed amendment. • The fees were ratified as part of the 2007 Fee Schedule in December 2006. • The City Council took another look at the formula and approved changes to the language to simplify the instruction at their March 6, 2007 meeting. o The 2007 Parks and Trails dedication fees were approved as part of the overall fee structure by the City Council in December 2006. o The description of the new calculation for the industrial/cormnercial portion of the parks dedication had led to several questions and a level of confusion as to how the fees should be calculated, o To simplify the process the Park Dedication Policy document was simplified to better state how these rates are to be calculated and to show the standard rate. o This change did not alter any portion of the approved policy other than to clarify and simplify for potential developers how this fee is calculated. • A recent survey of other metro cities shows Eagan to be the second highest fee based upon a comparison used for the Boulder Ridge development. (Using Eagan's prior formula, we would be one of the lowest fees). It should also be noted that according to the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association, less than 25% of cities are currently meeting the legislative mandate. Eagan is considered to be in compliance. Assumptions: Total Acres = 11.95 Estimated Net Acres = 7.9 Assumed Average Market Land Value = $260,000 (AV) City A le Valley 1 Calculation $1836/$624 per 1000 square feet of building floor space Estimated $177,720 Brooklyn Park 6 5% of the market value of the total net acres 102,700 Burnsville 4 5% of the gross acres x average land value 155,350 Eagan 2 $1737/$473 per 1000 square feet of building floor space (Previous formula = 7.9 acres x $6080 = $48,032) 165,790 Edina 3 8% of the market value of the net land 164,320 I.G.I-Iei hts 8 $7000 per acre x total gross acres 83,650 Lakeville 9 $7693 per acre x total buildable acres 60,775 Maple Grove 7 $11,000 per acre x net acres 86,900 Plymouth 10 $7500 per acre x net acres 59,250 Rosemount 5 10% of the gross acres x average land value ($90,000) At 90,000 At 260,000 108,000 312,000 • To date no commercial/industrial development in Eagan has paid the revised fees based on the new formula. PARKS DEDICATION • The current Park Dedication Policy states, The preservation of land for park, playground and public open space purposes as it relates to the use and development of land for residential, conunercial/industrial purposes is essential to maintaining a healthful and desirable environment for all citizens of the City. It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park, playground and public open space within a municipality is directly related to the density and intensity of development permitted and allowed within any given area, It is the policy of Eagan that the standards and guidelines for the dedication of land for park, playground and public open space purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of such dedication) in the subdividing and developing of land within the city shall be directly related to the density and intensity of each subdivision and development. • The calculated park dedication fee for the 110,000 square foot commercial/industrial Boulder Ridge building was calculated to be $165,790. The 2006 calculation would have been $48,032. • It was the opinion of the City Attorney, and recommended by the APrC, that the new formula represents a clearer nexus between potential park users within a commercial/industrial development and the potential impact on existing park facilities. When this proposal came before the Advisory Parks Commission in April 2007 there were no park amenities proposed within the development. -11 PC) • While it may be difficult to quantify casual use of park amenities near commercial/industrial properties, it is clear that they are strong participants in programs and frequent users of parks and pavilions. POLICY DISCUSSION • Is the 2007 Parks Dedication fee structure appropriate for commercial/industrial development? • If not, what parameters need to be defined to refine the fee structure while maintaining compliance with the Legislative mandate? TRAIL DEDICATION • The Boulder Ridge development trail dedication is calculated to be $13,848. • The development proposes internal trails that would cost approximately $130,000 - 156,000 which includes the completion of trails for this first phase building along with all subsequent future phases. • The developer has asked that the City of Eagan build the trails and have offered to maintain them. (The City Attorney has advised that whomever builds the trails should also maintain them) POLICY DISCUSSION • Do all the proposed trails for this development provide a public benefit? o If no, ¦ Which portions might be considered for transportation purposes and which might be considered for internal use only? ¦ How would the trail dedication credit be applied to the trail construction costs? ¦ Who would construct and maintain each portion? o If yes, ¦ After the trail dedication credit is applied to the trail construction costs how is the balance funded? ¦ If installed by the Developer, should the cost of trails be a credit towards the park dedication? ¦ Who would construct and maintain the trails? ¦ Construction and maintenance by City of Eagan would require easements and construction before all phases are built which may preclude changes to the plan in the future.

REVIEW CEDAR GROVE REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS DIRECTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To review the interview format and provide input on interview questions and issues to be addressed. FACTS: • The City Council interviews for the developers who have submitted proposals for the Cedar Grove redevelopment will be the last item on the Council workshop on June 12. Again, they are Doran-Pratt, JBL Companies, Sherman and Associates and Told Development. • Copies of the proposals, responses to preliminary questions and a comparison matrix were distributed to all Council members in the June 1, 2007 Additional Information memo. The matrix is enclosed here as well for reference purposes. • Interview times have been scheduled with the developers. Staff has set expectations for the developers to keep the interviews compact and manageable, but to provide sufficient time for the Council to learn about and interact with the development teams that are proposing to be the City's partners in one of our key redevelopment areas. • Each interview will include a five minute introduction of the developer's team and an overview their approach. We have asked that they include a brief description of team members' experience with mixed use redevelopment and a very brief overview of their intended approach to the Cedar Grove project, using a board of your concept drawing. This will be followed by ten minutes of questions from the Council and five minutes for informal discussion and wrap up. This results in 20 minutes per proposer and there will be a ten minute break between the second and third interview. • In the Additional Information memo, staff asked all Council members to submit questions. Any questions received from other Council members will be shared with the Committee at Thursday's meeting. It would be useful for the Committee to provide input on the questions to be included in the final list and/or to identify issues that should be addressed in questions to help differentiate between the proposals.

Meeting Notes Finance Committee Meeting June 6, 2007 Attendance: Mayor Maguire, Councilmember Carlson, City Administrator Hedges, Director of Public Works Colbert, Director of Parks and Recreation Seydell Johnson, Advisory Parks Commission Chair Peterson, Director of Community Development Hohenstein, Chief Financial Officer Pepper, and Director of Administrative Services VanOverbeke. Agenda Adoption The agenda was approved as presented. Review Public Works CIP for Arterials & Collectors Director of Administrative Services VanOverbeke presented background information included in his packet memo outlining various funding options for the 2008 -2012 Part III Public Works CIP. The information included the inflation impact on saving for projects, the relationship of Major Street Fund tax levies to total budgets and total tax levies, and options for dedicating funding sources for arterials & collectors. The Committee also reviewed the long-range funding shortfall of the 5-year CIP and the longer range projected Transportation Infrastructure Needs Analysis. Upon review of the information, the Finance Committee recommended the following for consideration by the full City Council: 1. A new distinct category be created in the Streets/Highways section of the 5-year CIP for ?Overpasses and Interchanges? and that the Ring Road components (Northwood Parkway & Duckwood Drive) be transferred from the ?Arterials & Collectors? to this new dedicated category. 2. The entire 5-year CIP be ?Adopted? as a guideline (as revised with this new category), and the 2008 construction program only be ?Approved/Authorized? for implementation of the public improvement process. 3. The full Council give further consideration through discussion for possible additional dedicated sources of funding for the new ?Overpasses & Interchanges? category before next year?s CIP is reviewed. Review Management Letter 2006 Draft Comprehensive Annual Financial Report As required by the new auditing standards, representatives of the City?s independent auditing firm, Kern, DeWenter, Viere (Janel Bitzan and Emily Nathan) presented an overview of the management letter resulting from the audit of the December 31, 2006 financial records. The Finance Committee received the management letter report and directed staff to place acceptance of the management letter and comprehensive annual financial report on the June 19 regular City Council agenda. Review Parks and Recreation Dedication Fee Structure / Boulder lakes park Dedication Fee At the May 15, 2007 City Council meeting, the Council directed the APrC to review the current formula used for the commercial/industrial park dedication fees. The Council also asked the Finance Committee to review the recommendation of the APrC and its impact on the Boulder Ridge Business Park. Director of Parks and Recreation Seydell Johnson explained the background on why the commercial/industrial park dedication fees were changed and the work the APrC had undertaken to implement a fee system based upon meeting State Statutes per the City Attorney. She further explained that the dramatic fee increase also resulted from the base of relatively low fees as calculated under the old method. While understanding the necessity of complying with the State Statutes and the reasons behind the changes, the Finance Committee was concerned that the new formula was not meeting the objectives for development the City Council was seeking and directed the APrC to review the formula through consideration of modifications to the formula. The Finance Committee also asked that the APrC further review the Boulder Ridge site development and the resulting relationship of proposed internal trails with City Trails to address the developer?s request for certain accommodations to the City trail dedication fee for that particular development. Review Cedar Grove Redevelopment Proposals Director of Community Development Hohenstein reviewed the packet information and provided a summary of the matrix of information on the potential developers for the Cedar Grove redevelopment. The summary material in the matrix was prepared by Ehlers from the responses submitted by the developers. The Finance Committee provided input on the interview format and questions in preparation for the Special Meeting on June 12, 2007. Other Business/Adjournment There was no other business to come before the committee and the meeting was adjourned. TO: Finance Committee (Mayor Maguire and Councilmember Carlson) City Administrator Hedges FROM: Director of Administrative Services VanOverbeke DATE: June 1, 2007 SUBJECT: Part III Public Works 2008 ? 2012 CIP Meeting Purpose: ? To have the Finance Committee review staffs? follow up information resulting from the direction at the Special City Council meeting of May 8, 2007. ? To engage discussion on specific public policy questions resulting from the follow up. ? To receive direction from the Finance Committee regarding next steps in moving toward approval of the entire 2008 ? 2012 Part III Public Works CIP. Introduction After review and discussion of the 2008 ? 2012 Part III Public Works CIP at the May 8, 2007 meeting, the City Council concluded that the CIP did a very good job of laying out the projected projects. The draft CIP demonstrates both the City?s commitment to properly maintaining and improving its infrastructure and the related funding challenge, especially with projects relying on cost sharing with other partners. The Council gave tentative approval to the CIP excluding the section related to Collectors & Arterials. Staff was directed to prepare additional information regarding the financing of Collectors & Arterials for consideration by the Finance Committee as follows: ? Explore the relationship between increasing project costs resulting from inflation and saving tax levy dollars or other resources for future use. Determine the feasibility of bonding today versus saving. ? Provide information comparing the tax levy for the Major Street Fund to the total budget or tax levy. ? Compare future costs for major projects e.g. the overpasses to future Major Street Fund levies in the context of total future levies. ? Develop scenarios to allow the designation of revenue sources, primarily additional tax levies. The designations should provide justification to the community that the additional resources are necessary and the only option 1 available and that they are earmarked and protected for the designated future uses. Inflation Impact ? Saving for Projects Bond and Build versus Saving then Build Example The following table demonstrates the impact of beginning a new levy at $1,000,000, increasing it by 5% per year, and investing it at 4% until used over a 20-year period. The presentation assumes a 7% inflation increase applied to project costs. Given these assumptions, after year seven the savings account would be $9,116,864 and an original project cost of $6,000,000 would have risen to $9,004,382. The table also shows that a $6,000,000 bond issued at 5% for a ten-year term would cost approximately $777,027 annually in debt service. Total debt service over the ten- year period would equal $7,770,274.

For example, if the interest rate on the bonds is less than the rate of inflation on the project costs, it will be cheaper to bond and build earlier to fix the construction costs at today?s prices. Likewise, if the interest rate for earnings on 2 the money in the savings account is less than the inflation on costs you will fall farther and farther behind by saving to construct. In the scenario presented in the table, there is not much difference in who actually pays the bill in a bond versus save analysis. Since the savings period is seven years and the bond payment term is 10 years, the money will essentially be coming from the same taxpayers. Although not in present value dollars, the total cost is lower with the bonding option, $7.7 versus $9 million, because of fixing the construction cost at $6 million thereby eliminating the inflation on the project cost. This table does not address the costs related to the south overpass component of the ring road. Included in the future category (beyond 2012) of this CIP are project costs (revised) of $11,700,000 (Federal Drive ? Duckwood to Yankee Doodle Road $700,000 and Duckwood Drive ? Pilot Knob Road to Federal Drive $11,000,000). Depending on the interest rate assumptions and the timing, use of the table would allow one to draw conclusions for the south overpass similar to those reflected above for costs related to the north overpass and other related project costs. Bonding Considerations There are essentially three different bonding scenarios available for use that could be given consideration in developing an overall financing plan for street and highway infrastructure. Each option has restrictions and all would obviously require some sort of dedicated revenue source for repayment. The following bullet points illustrate the more important features and requirements. 1. General Obligation Special Assessment Bonds ? Requires 20% of the project cost to be assessed; therefore, the use may be conditional upon a determination to specially assess at least 20% of any particular project. ? Repaid through a combination of assessments and other available revenue sources. 2. Street Reconstruction Bonds ? Requires unanimous vote of the City Council. ? Requires a public hearing. ? Subject to reverse referendum through petition. ? Potential option available to the City for some maintenance projects. ? Debt service payments made through any available revenue sources. 3. Municipal State Aid (MSA) Bonds ? Available through dedication of future MSA allocations, which are used to pay the debt service on the bond issue. ? Use of bond proceeds available only for MSA eligible projects. Bonding in general will not increase the total amount of dollars available for funding projects, but will only advance those dollars to an earlier time frame. Again, depending on interest rates and inflation, bonding might be a lower total cost option, 3 however. Making more dollars available for construction will result primarily from additional new revenue sources or increases to those already in place. Relationship of Major Street Tax Levy to Total Budget or Total Tax Levy The following table demonstrates the relationship between the tax levy going into the Major Street Fund and the total tax levy (excluding debt on the Community Center) over the last five years. It also shows how a $1,000,000 increase in the Major Street Fund levy would change the percentages for payable 2008. MajorMajor Payable TotalStreetStreetAnnual YearLevy*Levy% of TotalIncreases 2003 18,463,350 1,102,500 5.97% - 2004 19,337,168 1,150,708 5.95%4.37% 2005 20,542,914 1,131,802 5.51%-1.64% 2006 21,557,307 1,188,392 5.51%5.00% 2007 22,304,562 1,247,812 5.59%5.00% 9.48%5.00% 5%2008 24,419,790 2,310,203 9.46%85.14% 1,000,000 * Excluding Community Center The Major Street Fund levy has historically been between 5.5% and 6.0% of the total levy each year depending on circumstances. It has also been increasing at about 5% per year, although payable 2005 was an aberration due to the State?s failure to provide MVHC. Per the table for payable 2008, if the total base levy went up 5% and another $1,000,000 was added and dedicated to the Major Street Fund, 9.46% of the tax levy would be dedicated to the Street Fund and the total levy increase would be 9.48%. Options for Dedicated Funding Sources The concept of dedicating new and/or a portion of existing revenues to specific project types or projects on the surface seems to be relatively straightforward. However, the fact that there are already restrictions on the use of MSA dollars and two broad general expenditure areas, i.e. maintenance and new construction, might cause actual implementation to become problematic. It would likely be challenging to balance the resource needs for the projects in each group, those with dedicated funding, and those competing for the resources in the existing pool. Ultimately, it is likely that there will still be too many projects competing for too few dollars, and there could be an unequal distribution of results between the two project groups. In other words, there is the potential in using two pots of money to get resources and needs out of balance thereby resulting in spending on projects that don?t rank as high simply resulting from an incorrect allocation between the pots of money. There is also the potential that requirements for the use of MSA dollars might drive new construction ahead of maintenance, which is contrary to the overall City goal of first maintaining existing infrastructure. Perhaps the new money could be split with a portion dedicated only to overpasses and closely related projects and the balance directed to the current pool and available for 4 appropriation to projects in the same manner that current resources have been allocated. In general, that would separate the overpasses and closely related projects from the other Collector and Arterial projects which would stay in the present pool. The effective use of a bonding option might require additional flexibility with any new dollars. It also appears to be relatively straightforward to divide projects into two groups; those where the City has no cost sharing partners like the County and State and those where there are partners who theoretically should be cost sharing on the projects. Once the projects are in those two groups establishing priorities will be challenging due to all of the interrelationships and potential for leveraging participation. It might be shortsighted and counter productive for the City to steadfastly dedicate all of its resources categorically to its own streets and needs; thereby, potentially forgoing opportunities to match or to leverage the State and/or Federal government?s participation. The attached Exhibit 1 demonstrates in general terms potential options available for the designation of dollars from no designation to specific designations reflecting both existing and new revenues and directed toward specific projects or toward a group of projects. The attached Exhibit 2 demonstrates a broad grouping of Arterial and Collector projects that are proposed for construction in the current 5-year CIP (2008 ? 2012) into 4 categories, primarily by location. Projects in two of the four groupings include County participation. There does not appear to be an obvious method in which to group and prioritize projects around County participation. Public Policy Discussion Items 1. What is the appropriate balance between setting up dedicated revenue sources tied to specific uses and maintaining future flexibility across the entire CIP? Long-term flexibility is necessary to provide the ability to ensure that revenues are available for both maintenance (highest City priority) and potential improvements. However, maintaining maximum flexibility could make following and accounting for dedicated revenues problematic. 2. Any consideration for a levy increase needs to be balanced against other City initiatives and the needs of the City?s operating budget. Should consideration be given to a tax levy increase during the 2008 budget preparation? 3. How do we deal with TINA projects, which are not a significant component in this CIP? Since so many of the TINA projects include State obligations, should they be left out of today?s funding scenarios and longer-term projections? 5 4. Financing the street and highways portion of the 2008 -- 2012 Part III Public Works CIP as presented requires all existing 5-year projected revenues ($20,811,240), all reserves ($11,009,000), and includes a deficit ($3,978,000). Removing the north overpass and closely related projects results in a cost reduction of $6,095,000 generating an ending reserve of $2,117,698. Should some additional projects beyond the overpass simply not be included in the CIP to maintain a higher reserve balance? 5. What factor, the CIP needs or the available revenues, ultimately drives the CIP preparation? Preparing a CIP that doesn?t include all projects may be problematic as is preparing a CIP that cannot be financed. 6. What happens to proposed City revenue increases, if other revenue sources e.g. MSA dollars are subsequently increased? I believe this information will provide the basis for discussion at the Finance th Committee meeting on the 7. I will be available along with Director of Public Works Colbert to answer any questions that might arise. ________________________________________ Director of Administrative Services VanOverbeke cc: Director of Public Works Colbert 6 To: Tom Hedges, City Administrator From: Juli Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks and Recreation Date: June 1, 2007 Subject: Commercial/Industrial Parks Dedication?Boulder Ridge Business Park BACKGROUND: ? The City of Eagan was alerted to the need to comply with Legislative requirements pertaining to commercial/industrial parks dedication by the City Attorney in the latter part of 2006. ? After much review from staff, based upon input from the City Attorney, the Advisory Parks Commission proposed changes to the commercial/industrial parks dedication at their November 20, 2006 meeting to come into compliance with the new legislation. ? The commercial/industrial park dedication formula was approved by the Council at their November 21, 2006 meeting. The information included at that time was: Recent Legislation requires a consistent and justifiable approach to determining the amount o of park dedication, be it cash or land, required of a developer. Said approach should reflect the potential impact the development would have on the park system. As a result the City Attorney has advised that aspects of the current City dedication process be amended. Currently, city park dedication for residential developments is determined through a formula o that includes an ?acres per person? constant while the commercial/industrial calculation is based upon ?net buildable acres?. The amended formula is modeled after examples, provided by the City Attorney, of the o method used in other neighboring municipalities, and is based upon the same ?acres per person? constant used in calculating dedication for residential developments in the city, with credit given for the non-resident status of potential employees. In some instances, depending upon the development application, the amended method of o calculation will result in the amount of dedication being slightly more (large building on a small site), but occasionally less(small building on a large site), than that resulting from the current use of ?net buildable acres?. The amended method of calculation can be used for determining a dedication of either cash o or land. The City Attorney and Advisory Parks Commission have reviewed the proposed amendment. o ? The fees were ratified as part of the 2007 Fee Schedule in December 2006. ? The City Council took another look at the formula and approved changes to the language to simplify the instruction at their March 6, 2007 meeting. The 2007 Parks and Trails dedication fees were approved as part of the overall fee structure o by the City Council in December 2006. The description of the new calculation for the industrial/commercial portion of the parks o dedication had led to several questions and a level of confusion as to how the fees should be calculated. To simplify the process the Park Dedication Policy document was simplified to better state o how these rates are to be calculated and to show the standard rate. This change did not alter any portion of the approved policy other than to clarify and simplify o for potential developers how this fee is calculated. ? A recent survey of other metro cities shows Eagan to be the second highest fee based upon a comparison used for the Boulder Ridge development. (Using Eagan?s prior formula, we would be one of the lowest fees). It should also be noted that according to the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association, less than 25% of cities are currently meeting the legislative mandate. Eagan is considered to be in compliance. Assumptions: Total Acres = 11.95 Estimated Net Acres = 7.9 Assumed Average Market Land Value = $260,000 (AV) City Calculation Estimated Apple Valley $1836/$624 per 1000 square feet of building floor space $177,720 1 Brooklyn Park 5% of the market value of the total net acres 102,700 6 Burnsville 5% of the gross acres x average land value 155,350 4 $1737/$473 per 1000 square feet of building floor space Eagan 165,790 2 (Previous formula = 7.9 acres x $6080 = $48,032) Edina 8% of the market value of the net land 164,320 3 I.G.Heights $7000 per acre x total gross acres 83,650 8 Lakeville $7693 per acre x total buildable acres 60,775 9 Maple Grove $11,000 per acre x net acres 86,900 7 Plymouth $7500 per acre x net acres 59,250 10 10% of the gross acres x average land value ($90,000) Rosemount At 90,000 108,000 5 At 260,000 312,000 ? To date no commercial/industrial development in Eagan has paid the revised fees based on the new formula. PARKS DEDICATION ? The current Park Dedication Policy states, The preservation of land for park, playground and public open space purposes as it relates to the use and development of land for residential, commercial/industrial purposes is essential to maintaining a healthful and desirable environment for all citizens of the City. It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park, playground and public open space within a municipality is directly related to the density and intensity of development permitted and allowed within any given area. It is the policy of Eagan that the standards and guidelines for the dedication of land for park, playground and public open space purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of such dedication) in the subdividing and developing of land within the city shall be directly related to the density and intensity of each subdivision and development. ? The calculated park dedication fee for the 110,000 square foot commercial/industrial Boulder Ridge building was calculated to be $165,790. The 2006 calculation would have been $48,032. ? It was the opinion of the City Attorney, and recommended by the APrC, that the new formula represents a clearer nexus between potential park users within a commercial/industrial development and the potential impact on existing park facilities. When this proposal came before the Advisory Parks Commission in April 2007 there were no park amenities proposed within the development. ? While it may be difficult to quantify casual use of park amenities near commercial/industrial properties, it is clear that they are strong participants in programs and frequent users of parks and pavilions. POLICY DISCUSSION ? Is the 2007 Parks Dedication fee structure appropriate for commercial/industrial development? ? If not, what parameters need to be defined to refine the fee structure while maintaining compliance with the Legislative mandate? TRAIL DEDICATION ? The Boulder Ridge development trail dedication is calculated to be $13,848. ? The development proposes internal trails that would cost approximately $130,000 ? 156,000 which includes the completion of trails for this first phase building along with all subsequent future phases. ? The developer has asked that the City of Eagan build the trails and have offered to maintain them. (The City Attorney has advised that whomever builds the trails should also maintain them) POLICY DISCUSSION ? Do all the proposed trails for this development provide a public benefit? If no, o Which portions might be considered for transportation purposes and which might be ? considered for internal use only? How would the trail dedication credit be applied to the trail construction costs? ? Who would construct and maintain each portion? ?
