Discussion regarding JWC emergency backup water supply project
Requested Action
The City Council requested this topic be added to this work session agenda in follow up to the three -city joint council
meeting that was recently held regarding the emergency backup supply project. Staff requests to discuss the
upcoming council resolutions for the project and, per several council members' informal discussion at the joint
meeting, possibly adding an additional charge to water bills to fund the new backup system.
Policy/Past Practice
The construction of an emergency backup water supply system has been discussed over the past several years and is
a goal of the JWC.
Background
The Joint Water Commission (JWC) is a joint powers entity consisting of the cities of Crystal, Golden Valley, and New
Hope, initiated in 1963. Based on this agreement, the three cities built their water distribution systems to be
interconnected without reference to city boundaries. The JWC has an ongoing long-term water purchase agreement
with the City of Minneapolis water utility and intends to continue that relationship, however the JWC continues to
have concerns regarding the reliability of the Mississippi River as the sole water supply source for the city of
Minneapolis and its customers.
In 2009 the JWC and each of the three member cities adopted a Water Supply, Emergency and Conservation Plan to
comply with Minnesota Statute which requires the JWC and the three member cities to identify and develop an
emergency source of water supply. The JWC identified groundwater from the Prairie du Chien/Jordan aquifer to be a
viable alternative water supply on an emergency basis and legislation was passed during the 2004 legislative session
authorizing the JWC to drill wells to meet the needs of the three member cities.
At the direction of the three city councils at the May 7, 2012 tri -Council meeting each city adopted by resolution the
Emergency Water Supply Preliminary Design and Feasibility Study was prepared. At the direction of the three City
Councils at the May 23, 2013 tri -Council meeting and adopted by resolution by each city, staff was directed to
develop a capital improvement program to implement the emergency water supply plan; and to retain professional
and contractor services to implement the emergency water supply. At the tri -Council meeting on January 9, 2014, a
detailed report, cost estimate and financing plan were presented to elected officials and staff.

Request for Action, Page 2
January 21, 2014
Staff is recommending the attached resolution ordering the construction of the emergency water supply system which
is outlined above, be placed on the January 27th council agenda. Golden Valley and Crystal will be voting on the
resolution before the end of this month.
My understanding is the financing resolution is anticipated to be prepared by Golden Valley's bond counsel and
forwarded to New Hope and Crystal in March. The resolution will obligate the two cities who are not financing the
project to pay their appropriate costs for the bond through the JWC capital improvement program. The estimated
bond is roughly $4.6 million, and the annual 20 -year payments are approximately $330,000 per the attached bond
schedule. The payments have been incorporated into the JWC CIP program.
The City Council informally discussed adding a charge to the monthly utility bill for water rates to help fund the
emergency backup system. The estimated cost for the annual principal and interest payments is 17t per 1,000 gallons.
The additional charge could be added to utility bills and labeled "emergency backup supply". We have attached an
example of a current utility bill to denote where the charge could be added. On the sample bill, 2,000 gallons of water
was used, so the charge would be 17t x 2, or 34t. The average New Hope household uses roughly 5,000 gallons of
water per month, so the average charge would be 17t x 5, or 85�. The council should discuss this information and
provide appropriate direction to staff regarding the amount to be charged, and implementation date, if staff is to
proceed with this idea.

The structure would be GO Water Revenue Bonds, secured by revenues of the City of GV's water utility. The JWC would
construct well facilities across all participants including the City of GV. The JWC would.receive participant debt service
payments and transmit them to the City of GV's water utility, from which the City would then make bond payments. As
the bonds are secured by GV's water utility and ultimately GO pledge, any payment delinquencies would first be borne
by the City which would then seek remedies under the JWC contract.

December 4, 2014
To Commissioners, Council of the Crystal, Golden Valley, and New Hope and the
residents of the three cities,
The Adopted Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for 2014-2018 is presented in this
transmittal. The Capital Improvement Program is a five-year fiscal planning instrument
that is used to identify needed capital projects and to delineate the financing and timing
of the associated projects. Generally these projects exceed $10,000 in cost and require
financing by the three cities of the Joint Water Commission_ An annual capital
improvement budget, encompassing the projects outlined for the first year of the CIP, is
presented to the Commissioners with the City budget. Each project is brought forth in
the upcoming year for final approval by the Commissioners.
The adoption of a CiP is a requirement for each city in the metropolitan area. As part of
the Metropolitan Land Planning Act passed by the State legislature in 1976, each city is
required to adopt a Comprehensive Plan. Each city included the water supply plan in
their comprehensive plan.
Background of the Joint Water Commission
The Cities of Crystal, Golden Valley, and New Hope addressed the issue collaboratively
in 1963, when they formed the Joint Water Commission (JWC) to purchase water from
the City of Minneapolis and develop the infrastructure to deliver that water to their
communities. Since then, the JWC has efficiently managed the three Cities' unique
water supply and storage system in a fair and equitable manner. Each City maintains its
own distribution system and utility billing, meter reading, and water sampling functions.
As required by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the JWC frequently
performs many stringent water quality tests on water samples taken from locations
throughout each of the three communities to ensure consumers receive safe, quality
water.
For 50 years, the City of Minneapolis has been a reliable source of reasonably priced,
good quality water. In return, the JWC has been a good customer, purchasing about 15
percent of the water treated by Minneapolis.
The JWC remains committed to providing its customers with the highest quality water at
the least cost. As the cost of water continues to increase, the JWC must evaluate its
altematives to ensure it will continue to honor that pledge.
The JWC currently purchases water from the City of Minneapolis. The Minneapolis
Water Works (NWN) draws its water supply from the Mississippi River in Fridley. After
treatment and purification, the water is pumped to customers in Minneapolis, Columbia
Heights, Hilltop, Bloomington, Edina, and the JWC communities of Crystal, Golden
Valley, and New Hope.
The system that brings water to your house involves miles of piping. Treated water is
pumped from the MWW plant through large pipes (the largest of which is 48 inches in
diameter) to two JWC water reservoirs in Crystal and Golden Valley. The storage
capacity of the two reservoirs is 27 million gallons. The water is pumped from the
reservoirs into the water distribution systems separately owned and maintained by each
of the three JWC cities. Each city is responsible for installing and operating its own
water mains, pumping stations, water towers, and utility billing.
The three JWC Cities use about seven million gallons each day. Water demands of
JWC customers have been relatively constant over the past 10 years. During the day,
the amount of water used by residences and businesses fluctuate hour by hour. The
JWC water storage reservoirs are big enough to meet each day's needs, keeping the
water flowing through the pipelines at an adequate pressure to meet customer needs.
Water demands in the summer increase dramatically (often up to 17 million gallons
each day) when residences and businesses sprinkle their lawns. The most customers
have used in a single day was 20 million gallons.
Future Plans
The JWC needs an emergency supply backup. Currently their water supply system
would have to rely on the Minneapolis for their needs and currently they do not have a
plan to meet the needs of all their customers. As the three cities prepare for the future,
the emergency supply backup is a top priority.
This document will help plan the upcoming needs for all three cities. As rates continue
to increase, the planning of the financial future is most important.

Resolution ordering construction of emergency water supply "1
Requested Action
Staff requests the City Council approve the attached resolution ordering construction of emergency water supply.
The City Council discussed this matter at the January 21 work session and directed staff to place the resolution on this
agenda.
Policy/Past Practice
The construction of an emergency backup water supply system has been discussed over the past several years and is
a goal of the JWC,
Background
The Joint Water Commission (JWC) is a joint powers entity consisting of the cities of Crystal, Golden Valley, and New
Hope, initiated in 1963. Based on this agreement, the three cities built their water distribution systems to be
interconnected without reference to city boundaries. The JWC has an ongoing long-term water purchase agreement
with the City of Minneapolis water utility and intends to continue that relationship, however the JWC continues to
have concerns regarding the reliability of the Mississippi River as the sole water supply source for the city of
Minneapolis and its customers.
In 2009 the JWC and each of the three member cities adopted a Water Supply, Emergency and Conservation Plan to
comply with Minnesota Statute which requires the JWC and the three member cities to identify and develop an
emergency source of water supply. The JWC identified groundwater from the Prairie du Chien/Jordan aquifer to be a
viable alternative water supply on an emergency basis and legislation was passed during the 2004 legislative session
authorizing the JWC to drill wells to meet the needs of the three member cities.
At the direction of the three city councils at the May 7, 2012 tri-Council meeting each city adopted by resolution the
Emergency Water Supply Preliminary Design and Feasibility Study was prepared. At the direction of the three City
Councils at the May 23, 2013 tri-Council meeting and adopted by resolution by each city, staff was directed to
develop a capital improvement program to implement the emergency water supply plan; and to retain professional
and contractor services to implement the emergency water supply. At the tri-Council meeting on January 9, 2014, a
detailed report, cost estimate and financing Elan were presented to elected officials and staff.

2014.
Mayor J�
Attest:
City Clerk
December 4, 2014
To Commissioners, Council of the Crystal, Golden Valley, and New Hope and the
residents of the three cities,
The Adopted Capital Improvement Program (CiP) for 2014-2018 is presented in this
transmittal. The Capital improvement Program is a five-year fiscal planning instrument
that is used to identify needed capital projects and to delineate the financing and timing
of the associated projects. Generally these projects exceed $10,000 in cost and require
financing by the three cities of the Joint Water Commission_ An annual capital
improvement budget, encompassing the projects outlined for the first year of the CIP, is
presented to the Commissioners with the City budget. Each project is brought forth in
the upcoming year for final approval by the Commissioners.
The adoption of a CIP is a requirement for each city in the metropolitan area. As part of
the Metropolitan Land Planning Act passed by the State legislature in 1976, each city is
required to adopt a Comprehensive Plan. Each city included the water supply plan in
their comprehensive plan.
Background of the Joint Water Commission
The Cities of Crystal, Golden Valley, and New Hope addressed the issue collaboratively
in 1963, when they formed the Joint Water Commission (JWC) to purchase water from
the City of Minneapolis and develop the infrastructure to deliver that water to their
communities. Since then, the JWC has efficiently managed the three Cities' unique
water supply and storage system in a fair and equitable manner. Each City maintains its
own distribution system and utility billing, meter reading, and water sampling functions.
As required by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the JWC frequently
performs many stringent water quality tests on water samples taken from locations
throughout each of the three communities to ensure consumers receive safe, quality
water.
For 50 years, the City of Minneapolis has been a reliable source of reasonably priced,
good quality water. In return, the JWC has been a good customer, purchasing about 15
percent of the water treated by Minneapolis.
The JWC remains committed to providing its customers with the highest quality water at
the least cost. As the cost of water continues to increase, the JWC must evaluate its
alternatives to ensure it will continue to honor that pledge.
The JWC currently purchases water from the City of Minneapolis. The Minneapolis
Water Works (MWW) draws its water supply from the Mississippi River in Fridley. After
treatment and purification, the water is pumped to customers in Minneapolis, Columbia
Heights, Hilltop, Bloomington, Edina, and the JWC communities of Crystal, Golden
Valley, and New Hope.
The system that brings water to your house involves miles of piping. Treated water is
pumped from the MWW plant through large pipes (the largest of which is 48 inches in
diameter) to two JWC water reservoirs in Crystal and Golden Valley. The storage
capacity of the two reservoirs is 2? million gallons. The water is pumped from the
reservoirs into the water distribution systems separately owned and maintained by each
of the three JWC cities. Each city is responsible for installing and oper'eting its own
water mains, pumping stations, water towers, and utility billing.
The three JWC Cities use about seven million gallons each day. Water demands of
JWC customers have been relatively constant over the past 10 years. During the day,
the amount of water used by residences and businesses fluctuate hour by hour. The
JWC water storage reservoirs are big enough to meet each day's needs, keeping the
water flowing through the pipelines at an adequate pressure to meet customer needs.
Water demands in the summer increase dramatically (often up to 17 million gallons
each day) when residences and businesses sprinkle their lawns. The most customers
have used in a single day was 20 million gallons.
Future Pians
The JWC needs an emergency supply backup. Currently their water supply system
would have to rely on the Minneapolis for their needs and currently they do not have
plan to most the needs of all their customers. As the these cities prepare for the future,
the emergency supply backup is a top priority.
This document will help plan the upcoming needs for all three cities. As rates continue
to increase, the planning of the financial future is most important.

Discussion regarding internal financing for emergency water supply system (improvement project 929)
Requested Action
Staff requests to discuss the option of internal financing for New Hope's share of the JWC emergency water supply
system. AEM will be in attendance for the discussion. If council is supportive of the recommendation, a resolution
establishing an interfund loan will be presented at a regular council meeting in the near future.
Policy/Past Practice
The council has approved interfund loans in the past when the funds are available to save on interest costs and
accomplish city projects. A recent example includes paying off the golf course clubhouse outside debt via an
interfund loan from the temporary financing fund and EDA.
Background
At the tri -city JWC council meeting held on January 9, 2014 the three councils unanimously agreed to move forward
with the construction of an emergency water supply system. Each city would be responsible for financing their share
of the project, and the estimated cost to New Hope is $1.1 million. The council further discussed this matter at the
January 21 work session and supported approving a resolution to construct the project along with the other cities.
The council also discussed adding a 20� charge per 1,000 gallons of water to pay for New Hope's share of the project
and discussed internal financing. At the January 27 council meeting the council approved a resolution ordering
construction of an emergency water supply, and at the February 10 council meeting an ordinance was approved
establishing a fee for the emergency water supply system. The 20c per 1,000 gallon fee will be effective on the April
2014 utility bills.
AEM has prepared the attached memo regarding the option of internal financing. As of December 31, 2013 the
temporary financing fund had a balance of $3,128,321, and AEM recommends that there are adequate funds to
internally finance New Hope's share of the emergency water supply system. Based on the number of gallons of water
sold in 2013, it is estimated the new 20a charge will generate approximately $122,681 in revenue per year that would
be utilized to pay off the internal loan. With the addition of a small 1.51% interest rate for an internal loan, the loan
would be repaid in a ten year period (please see attached amortization schedule).

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 12, 2014
To: Kirk McDonald
From: Jean McGann
Subject: Emergency Water Supply System Financing
On February 10, 2014 the City Council approved an ordinance establishing a fee to fund construction and maintenance of the
emergency water supply system. Each City in the Joint Water Commission UWC) will participate in the funding of the system. The
City of New Hope's share of the project is $1.1M. AEM has been asked to review funding alternatives in order to finance this project
internally.
In reviewing information provided by City staff, it is anticipated to generate $122,680 per year from the $.20 per 1.000 gallons fee. If
this is financed internally, the Temporary Financing Fund has adequate reserves to manage this internal loan. The City currently has a
weighted average interest rate of 1.51%. If the Temporary Financing Fund loans the Water Fund $1.1M at 1.5I %, the loan could be
repaid in 10 years at $119,341 per year with final maturity is 2024.

Resolution approving interfund loan and transfer from temporary financing fund to water fund for emergency water
supply system (improvement project #929)
Requested Action
Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached resolution approving interfund loan and transfer from
temporary financing fund to water fund for emergency water supply system. At the March 17, 2014, work session the
Council discussed funding New Hope's share of this project internally, and was supportive of the option presented
by the city's financial consultant (AEM) and staff.
Policy/Past Practice
The council has approved interfund loans in the past when the funds are available to save on interest costs and
accomplish city projects. A recent example includes paying off the golf course clubhouse outside debt via an
interfund loan from the temporary financing fund and EDA.
Background
At the tri -city JWC council meeting held on January 9, 2014 the three councils unanimously agreed to move forward
with the construction of an emergency water supply system. Each city would be responsible for financing their share
of the project, and the estimated cost to New Hope is $1.1 million. The council further discussed this matter at the
January 21 work session and supported approving a resolution to construct the project along with the other cities.
The council also discussed adding a 20t charge per 1,000 gallons of water to pay for New Hope's share of the project
and discussed internal financing. At the January 27 council meeting the council approved a resolution ordering
construction of an emergency water supply, and at the February 10 council meeting an ordinance was approved
establishing a fee for the emergency water supply system. The 20is per 1,000 gallon fee will be effective on the April
2014 utility bills.
AEM prepared the attached memo regarding the option of internal financing which was reviewed at the March 17
council work session. As of December 31, 2013 the temporary financing fund had a balance of $3,128,321, and AEM
recommends that there are adequate funds to internally finance New Hope's share of the emergency water supply
system. Based on the number of gallons of water sold in 2013, it is estimated the new 2N charge will generate
approximately $122,681 in revenue per year that would be utilized to pay off the internal loan. With the addition of a
small 1.51% interest rate for an internal loan, the loan would be repaid in a ten year period (please see attached
amortization schedule).

Directors Paschke and Rader also reviewed proposed CIP projects for years 2016-
2018.
Ms. Jean McGann of AEM reported on the financial aspects related to CIP for parks,
street, and central garage. She stated the street infrastructure maintains a positive
cash balance and appears to have sufficient resources for the projects planned in the
next five years. She stated the park infrastructure fund cash balance is projected to
be negative at the end of 2015 due to the large number of projects scheduled for
year 2015. She pointed out if major expenditures are not delayed, the city should
consider increasing funding to the park infrastructure by approximately $150,000
per year over the next four years. Ms. McGann stated the central garage cash flow
assumes replacement is funded at 25% and operations funded at 100%. She stated
funding replacement at 25% will continue to have a negative effect on the overall
cash position of the central garage. She noted Council may want to consider
increasing the replacement funding level in 2015 to 50%. She also pointed out the
2018 CIP assume a public works addition for $2,650,000 paid out of current funds.
Ms. McGann stated by increasing both the park tax levy and the street tax levy by
3% would result in approximately $45,000 for each fund which equates to a tax
increase of $7 for a home valued at $200,000.
Council thanked the directors and AEM representatives for the update.
IMP. PROJECT 929Mayor Hemken introduced ntroduced for discussion item 11.10, Discussion regarding internal
Item 11.10 financing for emergency water supply system (improvement project no. 929).
Mr. Kirk McDonald, city manager, reported the recent $.20 charge per 1,000 gallons
of water will generate approximately $122,681 of revenue per year. He stated the
city's share of the emergency water supply system is $1.1 million. He recommended
financing the cost internally with repayment over ten years.
Ms. Jean McGann, AEM, stated the city's temporary financing fund has adequate
reserves to manage the internal loan. She recommended using a 1.51% interest rate
which is the average interest earned on investments. She indicated the $1.1 million
loan could be repaid in 10 years at $119,341 per year with final maturity in 2024.
Council expressed support for an internal loan.
Tracking Project Costs Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion item 11.11, Discussion regarding tracking
Item 11.11 project costs.
Mr. Kirk McDonald, city manager, explained how projects are tracked by Council
action and expenses are coded to the corresponding project number by the Finance
Department. He stated a report can be generated for expenses/revenues related to
