Open Forum
We are not aware of anyone who intends to address Council for the open forum.
Item 5.1
At the June 20 work session the Council reviewed the 2022 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
with Erin Enstad, the city’s financial consultant. The Council is being asked to formally accept the 2022
annual financial report. Mr. Bill Lauer of Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Co. will
summarize the audit and their findings. After the audit is accepted it will be filed with the state
auditor’s office and posted on the city’s website. An application will also be submitted for the 2022
excellence in achievement for financial reporting certificate.
Items 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3
Item 6.1 – there are no new business license requests.
Item 6.2 ‐ involves routine financial claims.
Item 6.3 – there are no new liability claims to report.
Item 6.4
This is a resolution authorizing the city manager to opt out of the state’s retirement plan. The city will
contribute the same amount, 7.5%, to a deferred compensation account. I recommend approval.
Item 6.5
The city received the Certificate of achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report for the year ending December 31, 2021. This is the highest form of recognition in
governmental accounting and financial reporting and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment.
A plaque is on display in the lobby showing the years that the city has achieved the award. Staff requests
Council to formally acknowledge receipt of this award. The city manager extends appreciation to the City
Council, Abdo and city staff for assisting the city in accomplishing this goal.
Item 6.6
This item approves a new facility use agreement prepared by ISD 281 for use of Sandburg Middle
School’s Gym D from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, for an annual cost of $20,015.58 plus building
supervisor charges. The city has been using the facility since 2010. The lease rate is an approximate 3%
increase over last year and it includes utilities and cleaning. The estimated cost of the building
Page 2
supervisor fees is $10,112 for a total cost of $30,127. Registration revenue from the gymnastics program
covers the lease. Funds are contained in the Recreation budget for the expense. Director Rader and I
recommend approval.
Item 6.7
This is a resolution approving a contract with DK Concrete LLC for sidewalk replacement work. The
low quote is $1.50 per square foot for the removal of the existing concrete sidewalk and $6.50 per
square foot for the installation of new four‐inch thick concrete sidewalk. The CIP has $100,000
earmarked for this work. The city has used DK Concrete in the past with good results. Director Weber
and I recommend approval.
Item 6.8
Council is asked to ratify recent vehicle leases and equipment purchases. At the March 20, 2023, work
session, due to supply issues, Council authorized staff to purchase or lease vehicles planned for replacement
through year 2024 per the CIP. Council also requested that any purchases or leases be presented to Council
for ratifying at a later date. At the work session of June 20, 2023, Director Hoyt explained the benefits of
assuming a lease for a vehicle that was previously assigned to the Northwest Metro Drug Task Force.
Council is asked to ratify a total of five items. Director Weber, Director Hoyt and I recommend approval.
Item 8.1
This resolution awards a contract to Allied Blacktop Company for $481,346.35 for the 2023 crack repair
and seal coat project. Crack repair and seal coating is performed annually to extend the life of
pavement. Bids were sought and only one bid was received for the crack repair and seal coat work. The
project area includes Liberty Park neighborhood, Dorothy Mary Park neighborhood, the West Broadway
West neighborhood, the Begin Park neighborhood, areas west of Holiday Pak, the Northwood South area,
the Quebec Avenue area between 49th and Winnetka Avenue North, the Winpark Drive area, Nevada
Avenue from 36th Avenue North to the city limits, and 49th Avenue North from Boone to Winnetka Avenue
North, respectively. The base bid was $412,452.60; Alternate 1 for 55th Avenue was $38,403.85; and Alternate
2 for Quebec Avenue area was $30,489.90. The estimated total including indirect costs and contingencies is
$606,496 which is below the CIP budgeted amount of $622,277. Director Weber and I recommend approval.
Item 10.1
This item approves an interfund loan of $1,073,601 to the Ice Arena fund to cover capital expenses for
the ice arena facility including replacement of the south rink floor, dasher boards and glass. As
recommended by Abdo and as outlined in the long‐term plan, the loan will be repaid over 15 years
without interest. Director Rader and I recommend approval.
Item 12.1
Mayor Hemken will review the list of upcoming events/meetings.
EDA #4
The EDA acquired 3611 Louisiana Avenue North in December of 2022 as part of the city’s scattered site
housing program. Demolition work was completed in May of 2023, and the lot has been prepared for
Page 3
construction of a new single‐family home. Staff recommends selling the property to Great Buy Homes,
Inc. for $75,000 for construction of a split‐level design home that would have a projected sales price of
$475,000 to $480,000. Great Buy Homes has constructed many quality homes in the city. The EDA is
asked to approve the purchase and redevelopment agreement for the sale of the lot. The agreement
ensures that the builder meets the conditions set forth in the RFP. The home will be completed within a
year of the closing date. Director Sargent and I recommend approval.
EDA #5
Staff recommends the EDA approve the purchase agreement for acquisiton of 5243 Oregon Avenue
North for the city’s scattered site housing program. A recent appraisal was $220,000, but the property
owner has agreed to sell the home to the city for $200,000 with traditional closing costs to be paid by
each party. The home is in “pre‐foreclosure” status. Staff believes the property is a good candidate for a
demolition and rebuild project. The EDA budget would fund the purchase. Director Sargent and I
recommend approval.
EDA #6
In April of 2023 the EDA acquired the single‐family home located at 5802 Boone Avenue North as part
of the city’s scattered site housing program. Bids were solicited to prepare the lot for redevelopment.
The low bid was submitted by Nitti Rolloff Services, Inc. for $49,700. The work includes hazardous
material abatement, disposal of items in yard and within buildings, tree removal, demolition of site
improvements, well sealing, site grading, and installation of utility improvements. The city has used
the services of Nitti Rolloff in the past with good experiences. The EDA budget would fund the
contract. Director Sargent and I recommend approval.
If you have any questions regarding items in the agenda packet, please contact me prior to the
meeting so that staff can research any issues and be prepared to respond at the meeting.

Agenda Title
Motion to accept the 2022 annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR)
Requested Action
Staff requests Council pass a motion to accept the 2022 Annual Financial Report. Bill Lauer from MMKR will
be in attendance for the presentation. Upon acceptance, the report will be filed with the Office of the State
Auditor, and a summary report will be published in the official newspaper as required by State Statute. The
report will also be posted on the city website. The City Council reviewed the audit with the city’s financial
consultant, Abdo, at the June 20 Council work session. Final copies of the Special Purpose Audit Report,
Management Report and Annual Comprehensive Financial Report are attached in electronic format and will
also be available at the council meeting. MMKR has prepared a presentation, which is attached.
Policy/Past Practice
In previous years, it has been the policy to review the audit with the financial consultant at the May work
session and to formally accept the audit at the following council meeting, after a presentation is made by the
auditor.
Background
Included in your packet, please find:
• Management report
• Special purpose audit report
• Annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
2022 was another unique year for the city budget due to the Federal funding received in 2021 and 2022. The
city received $2,284,764 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding in total. In 2021 $1,142,382 was
receipted into the General fund under Intergovernmental Revenue and in 2022 that money was transferred to
the Public Works Facility CIP fund. This resulted in a decrease in the General fund of $925,671 for 2022. In
2022 $1,142,382 was receipted directly into the Public Works Facility CIP fund.
Total general fund expenses were over budget by $154,209 due primarily to tree removal expenses relating to
Emerald Ash Borer. The additional expenses were funded by transfers from the Street Infrastructure fund
($400,000) and Park Infrastructure ($100,000). Total general fund revenues were under budget by $141,223
primarily due to the interest earnings. The interest earnings reflect market trends in the current year and the
fluctuation in the market value of securities held. The City typically holds securities to maturity, so it is
unlikely that a loss on the disposal of an investment will be realized.
The total net position of the city’s enterprise funds (sewer/water/storm water/street lighting/golf course/ice
arena) increased by $2,389,438, with the increase spread across all funds.

performing and completing the audit. Staff will be coordinating with Abdo to submit an application for the
2022 Excellence in Achievement for Financial Reporting Certificate.
Staff is recommending the Council officially accept the audit.

Dear Ms. Rains:
Congratulations!
We are pleased to notify you that your annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2021 has met the requirements to be awarded GFOA's Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting. The GFOA established the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence
in Financial Reporting Program (Certificate Program) in 1945 to encourage and assist state and local
governments to go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles to
prepare annual comprehensive financial reports that evidence the spirit of transparency and full disclosure
and then to recognize individual governments that succeed in achieving that goal. The Certificate of
Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting.
Congratulations, again, for having satisfied the high standards of the program.
Your electronic award packet contains the following:
A "Summary of Grading" form and a confidential list of comments and suggestions for
possible improvements. We strongly encourage you to implement the recommended
improvements in your next report. Certificate of Achievement Program policy requires that
written responses to these comments and suggestions for improvement be included with your
2022 fiscal year end submission. If a comment is unclear or there appears to be a discrepancy,
please contact the Technical Services Center at (312) 977-9700 and ask to speak with a
Certificate of Achievement Program in-house reviewer.
Certificate of Achievement. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year. A
current holder of a Certificate of Achievement may reproduce the Certificate in its immediately
subsequent annual comprehensive financial report. Please refer to the instructions for reproducing
your Certificate in your next report.
Award of Financial Reporting Achievement. When GFOA awards a government the Certificate
of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, we also present an Award of Financial
Reporting Achievement (AFRA) to the department identified in the application as primarily
responsible for achievement of the Certificate.
Sample press release. Attaining this award is a significant accomplishment. Attached is a sample
news release that you may use to give appropriate publicity to this notable achievement.
In addition, award recipients will receive via mail either a plaque (if first-time recipients or if the
government has received the Certificate ten times since it received its last plaque) or a brass medallion to
affix to the plaque (if the government currently has a plaque with space to affix the medallion). Plaques
and medallions will be mailed separately.
As an award-winning government, we would like to invite one or more appropriate members of the team
that put together your annual comprehensive financial report to apply to join the Special Review
Committee. As members of the Special Review Committee, peer reviewers get exposure to a variety of
reports from around the country; gain insight into how to improve their own reports; achieve professional
recognition; and provide valuable input that helps other local governments improve their reports. Please
see our website for eligibility requirements and information on completing an application.
Thank you for participating in and supporting the Certificate of Achievement Program. If we may be of

Approved by: Reece Bertholf, City Manager
Originating Department: Parks & Recreation
By: Susan Rader, Director
Agenda Title
Resolution approving the Sandburg Middle School Facility Use Agreement
Requested Action
Staff recommends approval of a new facility use agreement prepared by Independent School District 281 for
use of Sandburg Middle School’s Gym D from July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024, at a yearly rate of $20,015.58, plus
building supervisor charges. Sandburg Middle School is located at 2400 Sandburg Lane in Golden Valley. The
previous agreement, which was for one year, will expire on June 30, 2023.
Background
For many years, the Parks and Recreation‐sponsored Gymnastics program was held at Hosterman School in
the stage gym. In 2010, the school was sold to School District 287 and torn down to build a new school in its
place. At that time, staff began the search for a new space for the gymnastics program which included
approximately 3‐4,000 square feet of space and a ceiling height of at least 18 feet. Storage was a need if
equipment needed to be put up and taken down each day, although a dedicated space was preferred. Space
in commercial and industrial areas was looked at as well as District 281 space.
In September 2010, the city entered into a twenty‐one‐month agreement with District 281 for the dedicated
use of Sandburg Learning Center, Gym A. In June 2012, the City Council approved a one‐year agreement
with the rights to extend the agreement for five additional one‐year terms. At that time, District 281 staff
indicated that they would be willing to renew on a yearly basis, but they wanted to be able to include a cost
of living increase each year and/or to raise the building supervisor fees if they were increased for other users.
The fifth one‐year addendum was approved by the City Council in May 2017. In 2018, the District began
providing a new agreement each year.
The proposed lease agreement for July 1, 2023‐June 30, 2024, is $20,015.58, which is an approximate 3%
increase for the gym space. The lease continues to cover the utilities and cleaning.
In addition to the lease amount, building supervisor fees are charged separately by Community Education.
From July 1, 2018, until January 1, 2023, the fees were $6 per hour during the school year and $15 per hour on
Saturdays and during the summer. In December 2022, staff was informed that the fees would be increasing to
$18/hour (200% increase) on weekdays and $20/hour (33% increase) on weekends. Following discussions with
Community Education staff, they indicated that the increased fees would take place with any new permits –
mostly starting in June 2023 and they offered a two‐step increase for the weekday increases (to $12 starting
July 1, 2023 and then to $18 on July 1, 2024). Based on scheduled use, staff estimates the building supervisor
fees between July 1, 2023‐June 30, 2024, to be approximately $10,112.

* In September 2017, the facility re‐opened as a middle school. Due to the anticipated needs of the
school, the Gymnastics program was moved from Gym A to Gym D, which was 126 square feet
smaller in size. Gym D is approximately 2,600 square feet.
** In 2020, the lease amount was not charged for the second half of March, April, May, June or
December due to COVID‐19 and building supervisor costs were not incurred during this time. The
original agreement amounts were $18,055.83 (7/2019‐6/2020) and $18,604.56 (7/2020‐6/2021).
*** On July 1, 2023, building supervisor fees will increase from $6/hr during the school year and $15/hr
on Saturdays and during the summer to $12/hr during the school year and $20/hr on Saturdays and
during the summer.
Funding
The proposed lease agreement for July 1, 2023‐June 30, 2024 is $20,015.58, which is an increase of $574.86 from
the previous agreement. Registration revenue from the gymnastics program will cover this additional cost
expected for 2024.
Funds have been/will be budgeted in the 2023 and 2024 Recreation budget to cover the lease and building
supervisor fee expenses for the gymnastics program. As in previous years, revenue from program fees will
cover all expenses including lease and building supervisor fees, seasonal staff, supplies, equipment, meet
fees, etc. Enrollment in 2022 totaled 779 class and competition registrations. Fees were increased by $3 for
2023 and an additional increase will be necessary for 2024.

Originating Department: Public Works
By: Bernie Weber, Director
Agenda Title
Resolution approving a contract with DK Concrete LLC for New Hope’s 2023 sidewalk replacement services
(Improvement Project No. 1098)
Requested Action
Staff recommends approval of a resolution awarding a contract to DK Concrete LLC for 2023 sidewalk
replacement services.
Policy/Past Practice
The City Council routinely considers improvement projects that improve safety for traffic and pedestrians.
Background
To improve the foot traffic services for residents and pedestrians, Public Works annually contracts sidewalk
replacement services for existing sidewalks that are in the greatest need for improvement. Contracting out
the sidewalk replacement has been economically advantageous over providing the service in‐house. Public
Works staff prioritizes spot replacement of sidewalk panels in locations that show the largest amounts of
settlement and wear. Routine replacement of concrete sidewalk panels helps the city comply with the
standards of The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The city received quotes from three vendors for the 2023 sidewalk replacement services. DK Concrete LLC
had the low quote of $1.50 per square foot for the removal of the existing concrete sidewalk and $6.50 per
square foot for the installation of new four inch thick concrete sidewalk. We have utilized the services of DK
Concrete LLC in the past with good results. Based on the low quote and positive previous experience, staff is
recommending that the city retain the services of DK Concrete LLC for the 2023 sidewalk replacement
services.
Funding
Funding in the amount of $100,000 for sidewalk replacement is available in the 2023 Street Infrastructure
Fund.

Agenda Title
Resolution ratifying leases of vehicles and purchase of equipment in accordance with the city’s capital
improvement program for 2023 and 2024
Requested Action
Staff requests that the City Council ratify purchases/leases that have occurred since March 20, 2023.
Policy/Past Practice
Vehicle and equipment replacement are part of the city’s CIP that is continually updated and reviewed with
Council. In 2021 the city began leasing vehicles through Enterprise Fleet Management to improve efficiency
and as a potential cost-savings.
Background
In 2021, following City Council’s approval, the city began leasing vehicles through Enterprise Fleet
Management. On June 28, 2021, Council authorized the leasing of 14 police vehicles; and on November 28,
2022, Council authorized the leasing of three public works vehicles and four community development vehicles
(21 authorized leases). Including the five leases listed below, the total of leased vehicles is 26.
At the work session of March 20, 2023, due to supply issues, Council authorized staff to purchase or lease
vehicles planned for replacement through year 2024 per the CIP (subject to ratification by Council at a later
date). At the work session of June 20, 2023, Director Hoyt explained the benefits of assuming a lease for a
vehicle that was previously assigned to the Northwest Metro Drug Task Force. The list below identifies the
leases/purchases made to date that were not previously submitted to Council:
Replace Veh # New Vehicle Description Department Type
059 – 2012 Ford pickup 2023 Silverado 1500 Public Works Lease

Recommendation
Staff recommends Council ratify the vehicle/equipment acquisitions. The city previously entered into a Master
Equity Lease Agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management and additional vehicles may be leased through
the open-end lease rate quotes. Abdo will analyze the costs after the first lease schedule has expired. The city
has the option to end leases at any time.

Originating Department: Public Works
By: Bernie Weber, Director
Agenda Title
Resolution awarding a contract to Allied Blacktop Company for the 2023 Crack Repair and Seal Coat project
(Improvement Project No. 1099)
Requested Action
Staff recommends approval of a resolution awarding a contract to Allied Blacktop Company for construction
of Improvement Project No. 1099 (2023 Crack Repair and Seal Coat project), including Alternates No. 1 and 2.
Policy/Past Practice
To maximize the life of the city pavement, New Hope annually schedules crack repair, seal coating and fog
sealing on selected city streets. This is an activity critical to the city’s current pavement management strategy.
If delayed, maintenance costs increase and may also result in premature expenditures for pavement overlays
or reconstruction.
Background
The city’s street infrastructure management plan identifies and prioritizes street maintenance activities to
maximize the return on each dollar invested in maintenance. The city’s current pavement management plan
has all reconstructed roads being crack filled approximately every three years. We are transitioning from seal
coating and fog sealing every six years to eight years. This process is also used on city streets to help extend
pavement life until funds are available for an overlay or reconstruction project. This process keeps moisture
out of the roadbed and preserves the roadway for a longer period.
This year, staff recommends various maintenance improvements in the Liberty Park neighborhood, the
Dorothy Mary Park neighborhood, the West Broadway West neighborhood, the Begin Park neighborhood,
areas west of Holiday Park, the Northwood South area, the Quebec Avenue area between 49th and Winnetka
Avenue North, the Winpark Drive area, Nevada Avenue from 36th Avenue North to the city limits, and 49th
Avenue North from Boone to Winnetka Avenue North respectively. The recommended streets can be seen on
the attached Location Plan.
Bids were opened for the 2023 Crack Repair and Seal Coat project on June 15, 2023. There was one bid with
the low base bid of $412,452.60 coming from Allied Blacktop Company. Allied Blacktop Company is also the
low bid for Alternate No. 1 and 2, at $38,403.85 and $30,489.90 respectively. These costs compare favorably to
the engineer’s estimate. Staff recommends awarding a contract for the base bid, Alternate No. 1 and 2 to
Allied Blacktop for a total contract amount of $481,346.35.

Resolution approving interfund loan in the amount of $1,073,601 from the temporary financing fund to the
Ice Arena Fund for 2023 South Rink Floor Improvements (Improvement Project No. 1092)
Requested Action
Staff and Abdo recommend that the City Council approve the attached resolution approving an interfund
loan in the amount of $1,073,601 from the temporary financing fund to the Ice Arena Fund for the 2023 South
Rink Floor Improvements. The City Council has discussed Ice Arena improvements financing at several
budget and CIP meetings and was in agreement with the recommendation. The interfund loan was included
in the 2022 Long‐Term Financial Plan reviewed with the Council on November 21, 2022, although the amount
listed was lower than the 2023 budgeted amount.
Policy/Past Practice
The city council has approved interfund loans in the past to finance infrastructure and facility improvement
projects.
Background
Several large improvement projects for the Ice Arena had been identified in the Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) over the past couple of years. During the planning, Abdo, the city’s financial consultant, reviewed the
status of the Ice Arena Fund and recommended interfund loans from the Temporary Financing Fund to cover
the expenses of these identified projects, which included improvements to the south roof and replacement of
the skylight, replacement of the boards and glass on both the north and south rinks and re‐cementing the
south rink floor.
On January 24, 2022, the City Council approved an interfund loan in the amount of $650,000 from the
Temporary Financing Fund to the Ice Arena Fund to offset costs associated with the 2021 South Roof and
Skylight improvement project and the 2022 North Rink Dasher Board and Glass replacement project. The
repayment terms were for 15‐years at a rate of zero percent and allowed for prepayment of the principal.
On November 14, 2022, the City Council approved the replacement of the floor, dasher boards and glass in
the south rink for an amount of $1,065,001. The project started in mid‐March and was completed in early June
by All‐American Arena Products through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program. Additional costs
as part of the project totaled approximately $8,600 and included electrical costs for the score keepers box,
lowering and raising of the fire doors, rubber base, dasher board ad reprints, and vinyl lines and logo
applications for the final ice sheet layout.
Similar to the 2022 loan, it is recommended that Council approve the resolution transfer stipulating
repayment terms of 15‐years at a rate of zero percent and allow for prepayment of the principal. The
proposed amortization schedule is attached.

SUBJECT: APPROVE INTERFUND LOAN IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,073,601 FROM THE
TEMPORARY FINANCING FUND TO THE ICE ARENA FUND TO FUND 2023
SOUTH RINK FLOOR IMPROVEMENTS (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1092)
DATE: JUNE 26, 2023
BACKGROUND
The Capital Improvement Program identified the need to re-cement the floor and replace the glass and
boards to the South Rink for the Ice Arena in 2023. On November 14, 2022, the City Council approved the
replacement of the floor, dasher boards and glass in the south rink for an amount of $1,065,001. The project
started in mid-March and was completed in early June by All-American Arena Products through the
Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program. Additional costs as part of the project totaled approximately
$8,600 and included electrical costs for the score keepers box, lowering and raising of the fire doors, rubber
base, dasher board ad reprints, vinyl lines and logo applications for the final ice sheet layout.
The Ice Arena fund does not have adequate fund balance available to cover these costs. We recommend an
interfund loan in the amount of $1,073,601 from the Temporary Financing fund be provided to the Ice
Arena fund for 15 years with zero percent interest to assist with funding the cost of these improvements.
This interfund loan has been modeled in the City’s 2022 long-term plan. Early repayment of this loan
would be allowed.

Assumptions with Future Action
• Fire Capital Fund 9010 may implement a $100,000 levy in 2024 to build reserves for future capital outlay needs. A
comprehensive CIP for this fund was proposed in March 2022.
• City Hall Capital Fund 9202 may implement a $100,000 levy in 2024 to build reserves for future building and major
capital expenditure needs. A comprehensive CIP for this fund was proposed in March 2022. Other significant
assumptions are as follows:
• Swimming Pool Capital Fund 9204 may implement a $100,000 levy in 2024 to build reserves for future capital
outlay needs. A comprehensive CIP for this fund was proposed in March 2022.
• Park Infrastructure Capital Fund 9233 will increase the levy for capital by 5 percent, annually. In addition, it is
assumed that $500,000 will be levied each year to support Ice Arena capital and debt service obligations through
2032. The Ice Arena levy is shown as a transfer out from the Park Infrastructure Capital Fund.
• Ice Arena Fund 9303 will continue to receive an annual transfer of levy dollars from the Park Infrastructure Capital
Fund through 2032, other significant assumptions are as follows:
o Ice Arena Fund 9303 will utilize a total of $1,417,120 interfund loan from the Temporary Financing Fund in
from 2021-2023 to fund several large capital projects for the arena, including: replacement of the roof and
skylight on the south rink ($450,000) in 2021, replacement of north rink dasher boards and glass
($210,000) in 2022, and re-cementing the floor and replacing the glass and boards at the south rink
($757,120) in 2023. The long-term plan assumes a fifteen (15) year amortization and no interest on the
interfund loans.
• Golf Course Enterprise Fund 9302 capital outlay needs will be monitored and adjusted based on operating
performance of the facility and available cash reserves. When possible, capital purchases will be delayed to
ensure adequate cash flow is available. As needed, temporary interfund loans may be used to provide cash flow
needed for capital acquisition and may be repaid in the subsequent year from operating revenue. As a result of
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Golf Course fund has seen a significant increase in sales in 2020 and 2021. Due to
these recent revenue trends future assumptions for this fund will need to be monitored. The addition of a golf
superintendent is built into the budget for 2023 along with the assumption of increased revenue due to the new
position.
• Street Infrastructure Capital Fund 9203 will increase the levy for capital by 5 percent, annually. Other significant
assumptions are as follows:
o Franchise fee revenue of $705,000 will be allocated to the Street Infrastructure Capital Fund, with the
remaining revenue allocated to the General Fund. This is an increase of 265,000 annually for the proposed
increase in rates.
o Municipal State Aid revenue will be received for applicable projects.
o The interfund loan provided by the Temporary Financing Fund in 2016 to fund capital improvement
projects will be repaid based on the original amortization with taking cash flow needs into consideration,
with final payment expected to occur in 2026.
• Sewer Fund 9300 has planned average annual capital expenses of $659,188 over the life of the long-term plan.
These expenses are projected to be paid with a pay-as-you-go methodology due to the projected growth in the
fund’s cash reserves.
• Water Fund 9301 will receive a $2,500,000 payment from the Joint Water Commission in 2024 will offset project
costs related to the repainting of the south water tower. A full-time maintenance position is being budgeted for in
2023.
