Agenda Title
Review 2023 performance measures survey results
Requested Action
Staff requests to discuss the 2023 performance measures survey results from the 2023 City Services Survey.
Excerpts from the survey results have been included in the budget public hearing presentation the last
several years, and staff plans to include them in the presentation this year, and therefore wanted to review
them with the City Council before the public hearing.
Policy/Past Practice
In 2011, the Minnesota Legislature’s Council on Local Results and Innovation released a standard set of ten
performance measures for cities to aid residents, taxpayers, and state and local officials in determining the
effectiveness of cities in providing services and to measure the residents’ opinions of those services. The city
has participated in the program since 2011 to evaluate residents’ satisfaction with city services. Cities
participating in the program are eligible for a reimbursement of $0.14 per capita, resulting in approximately
$3,000 per year for New Hope. Although the survey is unscientific, it still offers valuable feedback. The city
conducted a professional citywide survey in 2022 through the Morris Leatherman Company, and the results
of that survey are probably a more accurate reflection of residents’ opinions on city services.
Background
At the February 21, 2023, work session, the City Council expressed support for continued participation in the
state’s performance measures program. The City Council reviewed the proposed survey questions and
supported/recommended adding the following question:
Question #17 ‐ Did you know about the Curbside Appeal Reimbursement Program the city offers for
qualifying home improvement projects? If yes, how did you hear about it?
In order to participate in the 2023 performance measures program, it was necessary to adopt a resolution
adopting and implementing performance measures and file a report of last year’s results with the Office of
the State Auditor by July 1, 2023. The City Council adopted the resolution approving the program at the May
8, 2023, City Council meeting and filed the required report with the state. The program requires cities to
implement ten standard performance measures to aid in evaluating residents’ satisfaction with local services.
The 2023 surveys were mailed to residents with July utility bills and were available on the city’s website and
at City Hall from July 1, 2023, to October 1, 2023.Survey response rates since 2012 are as follows:
2012 – 189 residents
2013 – 1,114 residents
2014 – 1,062 residents
2015 – 400 residents (Morris Leatherman Professional Survey)
2016 – 646 residents (submission: 140 online, 506 paper)
2017 – 632 residents (submission: 98 online, 534 paper)

Survey Results
The 2023 survey results are attached with comparison data from 2020, 2021 and 2022. In general, the
responses were very similar to the last survey completed by the City in 2021.
When asked how many years respondents have lived in New Hope, 69% have lived in the City more
than 20 years, 12% between 11 and 20 years, and 18% have lived here less than 10 years.
When asked how much longer into the future respondents expect to live in New Hope, 37% answered
11 or more years, 29% answered between 6-10 years, 27% answered between 2-5 years, and 7% did
not know or indicated less than one year.
The overall quality of city services rating of "excellent" or "good" decreased from 94% in 2022 (Morris
Leatherman)in to 81% in 2023. However, it only decreased from 82% in 2021, when a survey of the
same methodology was completed.
The city's payable taxable property market value increased by 16.68% between 2022 and 2023.
The overall appearance of the city rating of "excellent" or "good" decreased from 94% in 2022 (Morris
Leatherman) to 74% in 2023. However, when compared to the last time a survey of the same
methodology was completed, the decrease is only 5%.
58% of respondents indicated they feel "excellent" or "good" about their opportunities to provide input
and feedback about issues to the City of New Hope. This question was not included in the 2022 Morris
Leatherman survey but is flat to 2021.
Citizens' categorizing their overall feeling of safety in the city as "very safe" or "somewhat safe"
declined slightly from 92% to 88% between 2022 and 2023; when compared to the last time a survey
of the same methodology was completed, there was no change.
The overall quality of fire education, inspection, and response services receiving a rating of "excellent"
or "good" decreased from 88% to 81% between 2022 and 2023, but when compared to the last city-
completed survey in 2021, there is no change.
The overall condition of county roads receiving a rating of "excellent" or "good" decreased from 69%
to 50% from 2021 to 2023 (question was not included on the 2022 survey) and for city roads decreased
from 72% to 62% between 2022 and 2023.
The average pavement condition rating for city streets has stayed at 81 for 2021, 2022 and 2023.
The overall quality of snowplowing services receiving an "excellent" or "good" rating decreased from
90% to 82% between 2022 and 2023. However, the rating is flat to the last city survey in 2021.
The ratings of "excellent" or "good" for the quality of water supply and sanitary sewer service
dependability increased from 86% to 89% and 81% to 85%, respectively.
79% of citizens rated stormwater management's dependability and overall quality as "excellent" or
"good," an increase of 14% from 2022.
The overall quality of recreational programs and facilities receiving a "excellent" or "good" rating
decreased from 75% to 56%, and from 88% to 81% between 2022 and 2023.
Citizens' rating of the toughness of code enforcement being "about right" decreased from 86% to 58%
between 2022 and 2023. However, it is only slightly reduced from 62% to 58% compared to 2021.

The overall quality of communication/distribution of information receiving a rating of "excellent" or
"good" decreased from 80% to 663% between 2022 and 2023. However, compared to 2021, it dropped
slightly from 73% to 66%.
In its second year as a question on the survey, regarding respondents' primary sources for City
information, 44% said City publications, 15% said Sun Post/CCX Media, 13% social media, 6% word
of mouth and another 15% said a combination of sources.
This year, residents were asked if they knew about the Curbside Appeal Reimbursement Program and
how they heard about it. 27% said the newsletter, 7% said the City website or Facebook page, 5% said
the news media, 6% said other, and 52% said they did not know about the program.
A copy of the survey data is attached and will be incorporated into the 2023 Performance Measurement
Report. Excerpts will also be included in the annual budget presentation. Early next year, staff will present
the proposed 2024 survey questions for review/approval by the City Council and results from the 2023
Survey will be submitted to the state.
The feedback from residents on city services is very valuable. All respondent comments have been compiled
and organized by category within the attached memorandum. Reference to specific addresses have been
redacted, and some spelling errors have been corrected; however, general content has not been edited. The last
question on the survey allowed residents to request that city staff contact them about comments or concerns.
A total of 57 residents requested to be contacted by the City. Callback requests were divided and shared with
each department head for completion. Staff returned calls to all who asked for a callback, either speaking
directly with each resident or leaving a message with contact details. Many residents expressed concerns about
code enforcement issues ranging from exterior storage to unscreened trash cans to noxious weeds and
overgrown grass. Residents also stated concerns about property tax increases, tree removal and traffic
enforcement. Residents who received follow‐up phone calls as they had requested were very pleased that the
city took the time to call them back regarding their concerns. A complete summary of comments is attached.

Memorandum
To: Reece Bertholf, City Manager
From: Beth Kramer, Communications Coordinator
Date: Nov. 13, 2023
Subject: 2023 City Services Survey Comments
The 2023 City Services Survey allowed residents to share comments or concerns and request
that someone from the City contact them directly. Comments have been compiled and
organized by department within the attached document. Comments are shared verbatim, except
for references to specific addresses that have been redacted and some spelling errors that have
been corrected for readability. Many residents expressed concerns about code enforcement
issues like weeds, tall grass, unscreened trash cans and exterior storage. Residents also reported
concerns regarding traffic enforcement, infrastructure and tax rates.
A total of 57 residents requested to be contacted by the City. Callback requests were divided
and shared with each department head for completion. Staff returned calls to all who asked for
a callback, either speaking directly with each resident or leaving a message with contact details.

• 2023 City Services Survey Comments
Forestry
• I feel the City has fallen down on the elm tree removal program. Two trees were removed from my property with 1 stump removed. The other stump has
not been removed in 15 months. I have contacted Mr. Markham on numerous occasions to get informa�on and s�ll no answers. I now have trees growing
out of the stump that has been le�.
• Kudos to the city forester for his help with our ash tree. Super helpful & responsive!
• "Tree removal and boulevard maintenance definitely needs to be improved.
• Way too many dandelions on 36th that keep moving into neighborhood. Since streets were redone, new dirt was full of thistle seeds. Too much accumula�on
in my area on Jordan. Neighbors do not take care of yards; my husband is up there taking care of their yards.
• We have tree that needs trimming, your tree I might add, and have made numerous requests and s�ll no response. Tree will soon be touching the road.
And, when the branches fall on roadway, not our problem. Thanks.
• I think the city should get beter at keeping trees removed that are unsafe, we have trees overgrowing the power lines near Dorothy Mary Park and the city
has been no�fied many �mes and nothing has changed. We end up with storm damage o�en.
• Would like the city to be more proac�ve about removing dead ash trees in the boulevard areas.
• Thank you for having our ash tree taken down last fall. I hope is soon that I get a tree replacement.
• Please water the new park trees
• And what is up with all the dead ash trees. Why was this not addressed years ago when the infesta�on started. I counted at least 30 completely dead trees
within my immediate area. The city should have been going around marking them for people to have them removed ahead of the game like they did with
Dutch elm. Now I have to pay to remove one in my yard because nothing was enforced to stay ahead of diseased trees.
• No communica�on on trees removed from Lions Park. Oregon/39th - very depleted. Trees should be replanted - hot, hot now! We need shade!!
• Dead tree in neighbors behind me, if not removed and falls over it will wipe out all of the power lines between my yard and the neighbor behind me on
Boone Circle (4768 Decatur)
• Shawn - Forester, Jon - Councilman are great and informa�ve. S�ll need trees downed and stumps ground (Shawn knows)
• Emerald ash borer on so many trees. Why is something done about that? on private property.
• I have one huge issue with the city of New Hope. You sent out a newsleter telling people you are a bee friendly city and to not use pes�cides and toxic
chemicals on the yards. However, your SPRAY TOXIC CHEMICALS ALL OVER Northwood Park. I saw a man doing it during a windy day and it smelled horrible. I
got a headache and felt like vomi�ng all day a�er walking my dogs. This comes across as hypocri�cal. You can and will use these chemicals. Why not set an
example?
• We realize how large a problem the dead trees are and how unsightly they are but keep trying for (?) or whatever will solve this problem.
• Does the city have arborist services and or help removing ash trees. It’s ge�ng bad.
• The city is doing an awful job dealing with invasive noxious weed control. Per city ordinance sec. 9-80 noxious weeds are not permited, even for those
choosing a "managed natural landscape". We have seen this all over the city in both front and backyards. Our neighbors have thistle and burdock growing up
to 4 feet tall and all adjoining proper�es are now affected. There needs to be a way to deal with this without affec�ng "good neighbor rela�ons". Lastly, it is
very concerning when I look for "weed control" in City of New Hope and marijuana comes up and not noxious weeds. I am the voice of many I have spoken
with regarding noxious weed control. The yards in this city look terrible, well, many of them.
• Our current concern is the number of dead trees this year. Dead trees have increased considerable and are unsightly and can spread diseases to other trees.
• I feel like the Ash tree removal process is going too slow. It's basically an emergency. (Kind of kidding.) They just look like crap, and there's so many dead ones
in the right-of-way. They really make things look awful around here. Also, they drop crap all over the place, including limbs. I know you guys are taking them
down as we speak. But it has been years (at least where I live) that these things have been dead and depressing us all. 8)
• Please plant trees to replace the ones you cut down; our neighborhood is barren.
• You plant trees and then nobody waters them (Sunnyside Park)
• They replaced my boulevard tree last year. It did not make it. I have called several �mes - no results. Would love to have it replaced or removed. Thank you.
• There are too many DEAD trees on both residen�al (front and back) and commercial proper�es. I do not see as many in surrounding suburbs
• finish taking down dead ash trees and replacing them is important.
Communica�ons
• Your website is difficult to find informa�on.
• Would like to see a Human Rights Commission Facebook/social media page
• The July/August issue of In Touch newsleter arrived Tuesday, August 8th. Seems a bit late
• Beter communica�on regarding road work and closures would be appreciated. Hit all forms: social media (Facebook, Nextdoor, etc.), city website, and print
(Sun Post & In Touch)."
• Beter communica�on regarding projects
• I wish the city had an email blast or citywide text to residents about communica�ons or important informa�on.
• Would like to start ge�ng newsleter again with your water bill.
• I appreciate alerts! Weather and other safety ones!
• Santa parade needed more hype - many of my neighbors were unaware of the parade and thought it was an emergency situa�on, especially with the SWAT
tank.
• Do like that you can report issues online.
• Thanks for looking out for our community. The City of Plymouth sends out info via email updates. Is this a project New Hope could atempt to residents who
sign up? Thanks to all - Mayor, Council members, u�lity workers, NHPD, WMFRD, city hall employees
• I am moving to Bloomington to be closer to friends and my church but will miss living in Ne hope. Your website for sellers and buyers is top notch. Very
helpful for me as an upcoming seller. Comparing your city website to Bloomington - it is so much easier to use and has a lot more info to help residents than
Bloomington's. Keep up the good work! BTW - thank you for the 3 PDFs for sellers, so I can assess what I need to correct at my house before the seller
inspec�on.
Refuse Haulers
• The city should re-evaluate the trash removal policy there are so many garbage trucks going through our streets it’s annoying as well as the oil residue le�
behind on our streets is not good for those of us on meadow lake.
• I was very pleased when I learned out about the bi-annual curbside junk removal program. New Hope has since stopped picking up junk and now residents
need to transport the junk themselves.
• Less garbage trucks on side streets. Between 6:20 and 7:30 it's quite a few trips up and down then later in day more trucks
• I would like to see the city contract with garbage haulers, so they don’t. Keep raising prices.
• My one "beef" is yard waste pickup. We are required to have a yard waste case that is GINORMUS and there is no room in our 60s style smaller garage. Nor is
there a place to put it where it won’t be visible from the street. Same with most neighbors who just leave them si�ng outside - a terrible clean neighborhood
look. Of course, police are not going to spend �me policing this mater. I don't have a solu�on; I just need to let you know how frustra�ng and maddening
this is. What if NH create a yard waste facility to bring or have picked up for a fee and we could then go get the good compost to have in our yards. Maple
grove is way too far to go to dump it is every week thing. Think about it, please?
• I greatly appreciate the curbside waste program every two years. It really helps those who do not have the ability to haul large waste out
• Use one garbage hauler per neighborhood to reduce street wear.
• We should d have compos�ng services - too much food waste!
• It would be good if recycling is picked up every week.
• Can we please revisit the one hauler trash company?
• Some garbage trucks have le� a lot of unsightly liquid on the streets, and it stays for weeks. Its beter currently.
• Consider having public yard waste pickup.
Public Safety
• I would like it if the city stepped up the enforcement of cars on the street ALL night EVERY night for MONTHS on end and never moving. It would be nice to
report it anonymously as I have to live next to them for the next 10-20 years. I don't say a word because they are jerks about EVERYTHING and don't know
how to respect our neighborhood or respect the residents of our neighborhood.
• I would love a reassessment of the need for a mid-street stop sign on Engin Avenue. We have a man that sleeps in his car for mul�ple hours and some�me
overnight - I assumed police did nightly sweeps for cars parked on streets without permits.
• There needs to be a safer way to contact the city PD concerning noise and ac�vity complaints when it isn't felt safe to approach or contact those causing the
noise and ac�vity, city streets are becoming late night racing roads which needs to be addressed, there needs to be further and increased enforcement
regarding drug usage in the city.
• I also have been feeling more unsafe lately and am concerned about how fast people drive and crazy they drive.
• I feel like we need to enforce speed limits on Winnetka and 42nd Ave. That is a scary intersec�on with people running the lights quite o�en.
• Cars driving fast on 47th Ave N between Independence and Flag. It’s 3 blocks but people just rip though. The intersec�ons between are uncontrolled.
• Ques�on 5, I feel safe in my home and walking around the streets. In my sec�on of New Hope, we have had few issues although I don't leave doors unlocked
if unatended or other things very accessible.
• I perceive WMFRD as a quality ou�it.
• I want to make sure the community is safe-there are pockets of the city that we do not feel safe going to-especially around the surrounding ci�es. It would be
nice to have the community reach out to the ci�es near us to make sure everyone feels safe in the community that they live. Overall hoping that this city
grows much like the surrounding ci�es did with the housing boom.
• I wish there was more of a police presence to monitor the side streets during all of the construc�on. The side streets are filled with non-residents and people
racing around, blowing through stop signs, and generally not abiding by traffic laws. Side streets down 49th are a major problem with speeding and drivers
ignoring stop signs, as this is where everyone is driving with the construc�on on the surrounding main thoroughfares. It's really dangerous for kids to play
outside, walk to the park, and for residents to go for walks.
• Also, the city is becoming unsafe and needs to be SUPER tough on crime. It is not about the color of the person; it is about their ac�ons. Pety crimes should
be penalized so that the impression is not that we are so� which leads to increased criminal ac�vity. DO not end up like Minneapolis.
• I am and have been frustrated about the placement of our street sign saying, "no outlet" It should be at the 48th and Winnetka curb and not 15 to 20 feet
farther down our dead end street. Many �mes, cars come and turn around causing danger with addi�onal traffic to our children and neighborhood in general
and they speed!
• I'd like to see more speed/stop sign enforcement on 36th Avenue. Specifically, at 36th and Hillsboro Ave. It's currently a very dangerous intersec�on.
• Please consider controlling the goose popula�on in Northwood parks and cleaning trails of goose droppings.
• I recently moved from the City of Woodbury in Washington County couple of months ago. So far, I loved the City of New Hope un�l today. I was gone to
Buffalo NY to see & visit my daughter for a month & half. This morning I went to get my car from the Garage & I was shocked, surprised & was in awe to
no�ce someone or group tried to break in the Garage. The door was bent & damaged, there were holes inside the Garage in the sheet rock. 4 to be specific.
This is unacceptable living in a civilized society. I called the Law En4cement in the New Hope PD. They took the report over the phone. I feel scared &
petrified about my life's & belonging's safety. Also, WE need at least 2 mail boxes (BLUE) in front of our local US Postal Service Office. One has to go way
behind Starbucks to post the mail. Just thought to share all this.
• Speeding motorists on Getysburg Ave N! How about a stop sign mid-block just south of Rockford Road? Or, one of those blinking speed signs when excessive
speed is detected. Something has to be beter than nothing! Thanks for asking!
• Police are reluctant to take ac�on against person caught star�ng a dumpster fire.
• Enforce the fireworks law in our city, too much loud illegal firecrackers!! There should be none a�er 10:00 p.m. any way.
• The police are very inac�ve on 47th school entrance. We have lots of signs on 49th which is not a school entrance and have very difficult backing out of my
driveway. Why do we consider 49th as a school entrance you can’t access school from 49th.
• Thank you police! Wow - keeping bad out. It's too close nearby.
• The lack of police presence on Boone Ave is reflec�ve of the speeds of cars, trucks, etc. People drive 40-50 mph on Boone.
• Police all at Hy-Vee gas sta�on at one �me why - shouldn't all be on break at one �me.
• On West Broadway across or by Broadway Village apt. is a crosswalk. Drivers do NOT STOP when people are in the crosswalk. Plus, same loca�on cars pass on
the shoulder all day long when someone is making a turn into the apartments. Something needs to be done about it. I have reported this to the police
department, and nothing has been done.
• I live off 49th and Flag, the speeding traffic due to 42nd bridge construc�on is terrible. There should only be 1 side parking. Going around barriers when cars
park so close to the barriers is a problem ge�ng around them. The speedsters race to the stop sign on 47th. Bad when families are all walking with the
children and going to the park with children. I avoid 49th coming from the west and I can’t tell you how many �mes cars have raced and not stopped for the
stop sign.
• Special thanks to police officers and firefighters/rescue.
• You never ask about the police - where are the cruisers? We need more presence! Too much money spent on city center and police building.
• People running through traffic lights and stop signs. Traffic control along busier streets/Aves.
• The crime has goten worse in my neighborhood (Louisiana and 40th) and this is what makes us want to move. The water price is EXORBINANT! I am fully in
support of police but when I call because there is a group of teenagers in the park in the dark, I expect them to send them home, not just drive by and do
nothing.
• People drive way too fast on Getysburg Ave N (between 42nd and 40 1/2 Aves N) I 've already witnessed one hit and run with a parked car in the middle of
the day. Please consider adding a stop sign or speed bump. Thanks!
• It would be great to see more police presence on main roads. There are too many drivers speeding and running red lights and stop signs. I see mul�ple
infrac�ons every single day.
• Enforcement of overnight parking is nonexistent.
• Worried about shopli�ing. Walgreens - crime. I �p my hat to our police dept. Thank you to them all.
• West Metro Fire Department deserves more funding from our city for the great work that they do. Let’s be a proac�ve community and fund and staff our fire
department before it’s too late!
• The crosswalk at the intersec�on of 36th and Jordan with the 4-way stop signs. People either blow past those, or barely stop, I have been almost hit by
another car or my husband who rides a motorcycle has almost been hit from someone blowing right past the stop signs. It’s a busy intersec�on and people
are too quick to be in a hurry. Kids walking home from school don’t know when to cross bc people don’t let them cross when the kids have the right of way.
People FLY down Jordan Ave N causing a concern for safety for children who live on that road."
• Also, start enforcing laws of the roads. People drive way too fast, run stop signs and all the pedestrians cross busy roads wherever they want, it’s dangerous.
• The New Hope Police make me feel unsafe. They speed without their lights on and always have their hand on their weapons. I have never had a posi�ve
interac�on with any of them. They always acted like they were above the law, and everyone should do as they say weather they have the authority or not.
Very arrogant bunch of sanc�oned thugs with guns happy to use them.
• Police should give out speeding �ckets and failure to obey stop signs. The City of New Hope extends north of Bass Lake Road, and we would like to see more
police present.
• Unnecessary or too much spending .
• Traffic enforcement needs to improve. I see people running the 4 way stops (not stopping at all) 3-4 �mes a week, excessive speeding and being tailgated
when doing the speed limit. I understand that by pulling over specifically black people, it could lead to a lawsuit when the speed off or resist arrest, but you
are risking innocent people being killed by the maniacs.
• Excellent police dept.
• City police and fire departments are overall great.
• STOP police and fire sirens blaring up and down Boone and 49th star�ng at 5 a.m. NO need for it!! They must get a kick out of it. Red lights on residen�al
streets are good enough. New Hope is as bad as New York City. Constant sirens.
• Stop telling me to call 911 for non-emergencies. Homeowners email the city about when it is for items the city employees are doing even though it’s their
job. The police or CSO NEED to �cket vehicles park on the street overnight!
• Boone Ave north of Bass Lake Road is dangerous! Any�me during day and night we have cars/trucks and buses exceeding speed limits. Not just a litle but 20-
30 miles per hour or more! They speed - they pass on right and le� barely avoiding head on collisions. We live on this street and see it every day! Something
needs to be done. I previously commented on this issue the last �me the ques�onnaire was sent to us. I never heard back from anyone.
• New Hope's rule on no parking overnight does not seem to be enforced on our block. Some nights several cars are parked on street and for days in a row.
Many years ago, we had a car parked on road from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. and we got a �cket - 1 hour, what's the deal? Lair or no fair? How about a warning, or a
�cket, or drop the rule from the city requirements.
• Police = excellent.
• Our neighborhood has changed from a family oriented one to homeowners homebound and reclusive. It is not safe to go out and night and even my mailbox
is a treasure chest for thieves as is my pickup truck.
• Mul�ple atempts have been made for addi�onal help with speeders and cars running through stop signs all with emailing the police or city website. There
was never any no�fiable change to this and o�en we see no ac�ons, but the people who live nearby are never penalized for breaking the law, so they keep
speeding and running stop signs in neighborhoods by parks. WHERE ARE THE POLICE? NOT IN NEW HOPE. Seriously? Like anyone cares. What does Kathi do
anyway? This place is trash. Nothing for residents. Not anything new or different.
Snowplowing
• Snowplowing - they gouged up our street this year. It's been repaired, but in 23 years I've never seen it like that.
• Snowplowing - happens too o�en when very litle snow is received and the plows rip up the streets and yards.
• Plowing of city sidewalks needs to improve - very difficult for those with mobility issues to traverse.
• The city of New Hope is overall a good city to live in. I live in the NE corner of New Hope, bordering Brooklyn Center and Crystal. I think we have very poor
parks in our neighborhood. I live on 53rd Ave and in winter I think there is excessive snow p lowing on 53rd Ave. I watch them plow this street mul�pole
�mes in a day even when no new snow accumula�on. The boulevard in front of my house is always torn up by snowplows.
• The snowplowing is very good, but it would be nice if they would plow closer to the curb. The mail won't be delivered if they can't drive to the mailbox. I
usually have 3 feet road snow to remove. At 70 that is a lot of work. Luckily, I have a neighbor who bought a new snowblower and will help me out with the
curb. However, he is 75. So, a litle closer please, thanks.
• Is it possible to have the city move snow that gets built up between roads and sidewalks? This happened once last winter in our neighborhood, and we
greatly appreciated the help. With the amount of snow we had, there wasn't any room to shovel snow off the sidewalk and onto our property.
• I hear about struggles others have with snow removal in the winter - we never have any issues, and you are prompt, thank you!
• Snowplowing - This last year was excellent! Great job plowing right to the curb, speed of ge�ng out to plow was fabulous!
• Snow playing - too much in driveways. We have a side yard across. Put it there.
• The city plows should not plow into people's front lawns. The lawn gets damaged and has been damaged by this. NOT OK! L
• I know we had lots of snow this past winter, but the snowplows consistently plowed snow up/over the boulevard and onto our sidewalks. This didn't happen
in past years, even when we had a lot of snow. O�en�mes we had shoveled the sidewalks only to have them covered by heavy plowed snow - requiring us to
shovel again.
• We have a lot of trees without sidewalks so we should street sweep more o�en!
• I live in a cul de sac and I wish there was less snow piled at the end of the driveway a�er the snowplow comes through. Plow leaves massive snowpack that is
almost impossible to shovel!
• Snow plowing more than 25 feet in my yard which killed my mature pine tree. Now it has a disease because of the snow and ice. Wish the city would pay for
the tree removal. But we will see.
• Snowplow scraped my driveway and dug up about a 3 feet sec�on of my grass last winter.
• Rhode Island and 46th is last street to ever get plowed - please fix if possible.
• I have enjoyed living here for over 25 years. Snow plowing my cul de sac has really improved the last five years - thank you!
• Not sure who should plow Winnetka sidewalks, but they are terrible in winter. You can clearly see where New Hope ends and Golden Valley begins
• Snowplowing is o�en late and has hit our mailbox.
Parks & Recrea�on
• With plowing of park trails in the winter, there should be portable toilets available like the summer to allow for more use of the parks year-round.
• Sunnyside Park disc golf course is a very poor disc golf course. It is basically three open fields with baskets. It wouldn't take much effort to make the course
beter... and the funding shouldn't be an issue considering the rather large annual tax increases.
• Re: recrea�onal programs - you need some op�ons that are geared towards teenagers. They have WAY too much �me on their hands.
• Plow the en�re pathway around the city center park. It is a nice perk to have in our city, but it isn't accessible in the winter and that's sad since the city office
is right there and I'm sure this can easily be done.
• We love the New Hope Pool! It is a great place to cool off in the summer.
• Please add benches at the Hidden Valley Playground! We love the new park.
• I would love to see a hockey/ice rink back at Northwood Pond/park.
• Pool - Cost is way too high! If you want to go for an hour or so its throwing money away. Yes, I could get a pass but I have grandkids with who are not
residents. Regula�ons - Need to enforce the food only in food area. People seem to be ea�ng everywhere and some leaving their trash all over. Large groups
in lazy river (Robbinsdale Adventure Club) unruly, my grandson pushed under, no discipline anywhere, we le� pool! Yes, I have made a call to adv. club le�ng
them know their chaperones were all si�ng on their phones or cha�ng with each other. Who is watching the kids?
• The RevSports skills program is inconsistent in leadership and there has been no simple recrea�onal league for soccer for elementary age kids, unlike other
local ci�es. Hope you can add one or partner with neighboring ci�es. Pool is great, just with it was open longer date span. Basketball skills program was good
quality but should be segregated by age at younger age. Daughter was very discouraged in co-ed group at age 7/8. Dance school that is located at the city's
facility is very limited in informa�on for the public. We need up going elsewhere. Skate school quality was inconsistent. We also went elsewhere and got
beter instruc�on. Couldn't figure out anything about it during seasons. It wasn't in the city brochure.
• There is a baseball game that takes place every Sunday in Lions Park across the street from our house. Each Sunday we are met with foul balls hi�ng our
garage and vehicles parked in our driveway. Also, long a�er these games are over we s�ll have to deal with the music from their DJ playing loud enough for
the whole block to hear. Although technically this is an issue for the City of Crystal, we were hoping to enlist your help since we have already tried to no avail.
also, they park their vehicles on both sides of the street. We would like a "no parking" sign near our property and to be enforced because, if need be, a
firetruck could not get down our street.
• Love Parks & Rece for kids. Theater is excellent. Need more pickleball courts.
• Unimpressed with the new pool. Nice facility but no one is held accountable to rules - i.e., babies in pool with diapers on and not "swim diapers", people
wearing clothes in pool instead of suits)
• The golf course needs to trim their trees and remove branches and trees from power lines. This has not been done. It needs to be done. The lawn
maintenance staff should not run over or atempt to run over wildlife (ducks, geese, etc.). I've seen this happen. NOT OK. The staff should not start mowing
the golf course before 7 a.m.
• New playgrounds are nice!
• I don't understand why we don't have a city center for seniors. You keep talking about the ages of ci�zens - they are old - 50 and above but we cant have a
decent senior center!
• The golf course is the "gem" for the city!! Keep up its maintenance and management.
• Please upgrade dog parks - not hockey rinks.
• Loved the improvements at Holiday Park to the rain garden, bench, and free library.
• Dog park - I wish New Hope had a legit dog park (not just a hockey rink) like Elm Creek or Crystal's Basset Creek
• Would love to see Holiday Park playground and ball field area get an update.
• I absolutely love to hear the noises from the pool when I go to HyVee. Such a good investment!!! Maybe keep open un�l Labor Day?
• Disappointed with the placement of "biffy" in Hidden Valley Park. Prac�cally in neighbor’s backyard and the reasons given for the loca�on lacked logic.
Collec�on of individuals called to ask for reloca�on and fell on deaf ears.
• Love the water park area BUT! Where is the dog park?
• The Northwood Lake stream is a total mess. The stream has disappeared from overgrowth and the water in the lake is polluted. Can this area be cleaned up?
It was beau�ful once. The park is beau�ful, but is it safe and healthy now?
• Parks are beau�ful - maintained excellent! We have a park next to us and across the street. Wonderful walking paths for people to exercise. Thank you!
• Quit driving pickups on asphalt paths in parks! They break them down and paths are not designed to handle the weight! (Hidden Valley) Should be obvious.
• Con�nue with safety camp - best program in state.
• Golf course = excellent
• Invest in facili�es for girls’ so�ball.
• We live near Lions Park. Every year it is overrun by enormous dandelions and tons of other weeds. Trees cut down are not replaced with equal quan�ty of
trees.
• Meadow Lake Park needs more Toddler friendly op�ons, much of the equipment is not safe for the litle ones.
Code Enforcement
• It seems homeowners are held to a higher standard than rental proper�es.
• When I went walking always seem to see the same cars, not moving or jacked up. Neighborhoods in general do not take care of yards, houses etc., rental
proper�es may be more of the issues? Pride in ownership is not as strong.
• City needs to be tougher on those breaking city laws. Parking boats, RV's, trailers on non-graveled surfaces (or throwing down rock and calling it good).
There are storage facili�es for that. And if someone complains because someone puts their can out 4 hours early, go take a look at the overall condi�on of
the property. If it's good, don't worry about it. So, they went out of town and put the can out before they le�. Big deal. Beter than these eye sore cars that
sit in driveways used rarely, seldom, if at all (and some covered). How about the house on the corner of <Redacted>, NW corner. I hate to hit a red light
there for fear their brakes will give way. Or the guy at <Redacted>, SO many vehicles, trailers, Zamboni, etc. His yard is a JUNK yard - call in Sanford & Sons.
• I rent an apartment so I do not have any experience with the following ques�on: "Do you think the city is too tough, about right or not tough enough in
enforcing the City Code on such nuisance issues as trash can screening, exterior storage and inoperable vehicles"
• Re enforcement of nuisance issues, your enforcement is misguided. Focus less on where people leave their trash cans (if they're not in the front yard) and
more on the other issues like exterior storage and inoperable vehicles. I don't understand why you regularly check on the trash cans but require people to
call to inves�gate the other issues. On my block there are houses who regularly have more than 7 inoperable vehicles or junk stored all throughout their
property that make the neighborhood and the city look worse, but unless someone calls, nothing is done. Don't you track these calls and follow up to ensure
compliance? Based on the experience in my neighborhood, the answer is no, but if you did that, you'd see improvements that go far beyond the regular
checking of pp returning their trash cans to the back of their house. It could (and should) be beter. I don't need a call, but I'm leaving my name and address,
so you know the neighborhood. Thanks for listening.
• I see our city going downhill, I have been so upset by what is allowed by homeowners to get away with. There are three homes in my en�re three block area
that maintains their yards. I shouldn't have to call because they constantly let their grass and weeds grow out of control cos�ng me hundreds to keep them
under control in my yard and garbage everywhere, one home is even causing a rat problem. The city needs to enforce codes, they are there for a reason and
I'm embarrassed to call this home. Please start making homeowners maintain their proper�es and have neighborhoods monitored beter.
• Thank you for the many good things about New Hope. In the last three years, or so, I believe the “look” of New Hope has gone down. Many proper�es that
are not kept up, needing repairs, yards not taken care of with long grass and weeds.
• From daily walking around, I believe there are quite a few minor nuisance code issues spread along many proper�es as men�oned in ques�on 4, trash can
screening, materials on sides of houses, cars parked on gravel or grass, some look worse than others. I received a leter during COVID, made some changes
but never got an answer to my addi�onal inquiry. I am a bit neutral on what would be the best way to handle those.
• I'm only judging my immediate area of New Hope. My area is NOT good. I have called City Hall on numerous occasions, and I don't feel confident in the
response all the �me. I feel a lot of people just don't care about the neighborhood as opposed to those that do. I feel they don't care because....... why
should they? There are just no repercussions for not keeping the neighborhood safe, clean, etc. I feel it falls on deaf ears. I just called a couple weeks ago
about me neighbor's dead tree and its proximity to my house. Was told they would send them a leter and they have 3 weeks to take care of it. We'll see, I
guess. When I moved here was told there are a lot of ways that this City runs and I think that's laughable at �mes. My street doesn't even have a streetlight
and the neighborhood is in the dark at night. The high taxes are amazing too. Don't feel that many other ci�es are taxing as much, but it is what it is, I guess.
I've also got many neighbors whose yards are just atrocious and who's driveways are filled with cars that I've never seen moved. I could go on, but I feel it'll
fall on deaf ears some�mes.
• There are too many rental proper�es or homes along Winnetka that are in disrepair or trashy. Looks bad! Doesn't seem city reinforces ordinances about
trash.
• It worries me that I'm seeing many homes in the New Hope area that are not being taken care of. The grass is not being mowed and the weeds have taken
over. This reflects on the rest of the neighborhood.
• Sidewalks are being overtaken by unkept trees, weeds and trash. I am a walker, I try to walk whenever it is possible, walking in the Winter is IMPOSSIBLE!!! I
understand it is the property owner’s responsibility to clear the sidewalk, THIS NEEDS TO BE ENFORCED for safety reasons. Homeowners, business, schools
and apartment complexes all need to do their part.
• Need enforce codes, keep rental proper�es to a minimum especially in the neighborhoods and figure out a way to bring in business that can help support the
tax base so our city taxes stop increasing and something with the water bill- triple the amount of Maple Grove when cli compared to a coworker.
• Without enforcement we will con�nue to see the City as the SLUMS!
• With all the road closures this summer I found myself on new roads I don't usually travel. I was surprised by the number of out-of-control yards full of weeds
and uncut grass. Also, driveways full of crap.
• I think it's pathe�c how the "keep your garbage cans out of sight" rule has just been ignored especially at 4-plexes. The wood around their dumpsters has
roted away and just lays around them but no one cares! You don't have to go on their property to see that it is quite obvious!
• Your inability to enforce codes is astounding! Over the years, we have tried to bring informa�on about code violators to you. Our property values go down.
Also, people tell us they hear New Hope isn't safe. The word on the street isn't good. The area of stores on 27th and Winnetka is a depressing site. I'm going
to avoid that area if possible.
• The appearance of the City has gone downhill considerably in the past 7 years! Lawns unkept, mul�ple cars, trucks le� on the roads at night, trash cans le�
on the road for days, trash and junk on lawns and driveways for weeks/months even years. Homeowners are allowed to have dead trees on the property,
bushes le� unkept, lawns completely over took with weeds. Business don’t keep up the outside of their building, parking lot or lawns. Pride in ownership is
gone. Everything is star�ng to look like the slums. All you need to do is take a drive down any road and find numerous viola�ons of the city code. I was told
by a City worker, that if nobody calls and complains, the City doesn’t do anything about it.
• Very frustrated about the house on the corner of <Redacted>. It has been empty since I moved here in 1990. What a fricken eye sore.
• Also the blue house on the corner of <Redacted>. Is it a rental? The yard is an extreme eyesore all summer long.
• Many residents keep their garbage & recycling cans in front of their houses without any type of screen to conceal them. There are also cars parked on the city
streets overnight. In the winter, snowplows have to plow around them. This creates issues when others try to drive in those areas. It seems that there are
no repercussions for people who disobey the city ordinances. It would be nice if that changed.
• Certain staff have no flexibility on zoning issues, they only follow an�quated city policy. Observa�on with trash shielding by city staff.
• There seems to be either a lack of knowledge by nearby homeowners or lack of enforcement with some of the ordinances like garbage cans can't be in the
street. Recently, new neighbor to the south put their cart in our yard. It's just annoying as we've had a couple homes have owners who only stayed 2-3 years.
We need to be more neighborly!
• People not living in a home (i.e.. townhouse, apts, etc.) are allowed to leave garbage buckets out for weeks; don't keep lawns cut so that homeowners have
to worry about their weeds infec�ng the lawns they maintain.
• How come nobody enforces lawn care in city . Yards have not been lawn mowed all year and some are very poorly maintained.
• At 80 years old hope to live rest of my life in our home but looking at health of friends said 2-5 years - hope much longer. I think city should be sending out
more leters to give no�ce to homeowners (landlords) to clean up property - if no ac�on by owners then enforce city codes. I think city was right on taking
ac�on on group home issues. Think city needs to know when buyers are buying for group home before their purchase - I have much less concerns for
handicap homes vs. addic�on homes. Is there a guideline as how long curbside projects can take before comple�on?
• Sad to see the city deteriorate like it has in the last years!
• Trash yards. Some trash people that like to party all the �me with loud music.
• What can be done with homeowners that yards look lie a DUMP or overgrown weeds. They are not helping the value of the neighborhoods. Please do
something!
• Please monitor the property at <Redacted> Boone Circle North. Their more than 2 dozen pigeons are damaging neighboring proper�es. They have discarded
matresses, appliances, garbage bins and construc�on debris on both sides of their house and they either burn yard waste or pile it next to the property lines.
They run an automo�ve business from their garage and cars and a business truck are o�en parked on the street or in their yard all night long. Even the street
is not holding up to all the traffic.
• Seems like New Hope does not enforce the rules that were once placed. Do we have codes anymore in New Hope?
• There are so many trash cans and recycling cans visible from the street and nothing is done about it. I have reported some of them and they are s�ll visible.
This makes the appearance of New Hope not good.
• The trash can ordinance is too strict and too harshly enforced. The surrounding ci�es do not have this issue.
• Blue house <Redacted> 40th Ave N - blight of neighborhood. Junk in driveway, sidewalk steps
• Garbage cans are seen all over. They look awful and not hidden away a�er pickup. Lawns are le� to grow weeds and get much overgrown. Too many renters
of houses that don't care what it looks like. Too many group homes in my area.
• The house at <Redacted> Lamphere Dr has up to 10 cars in the 2 driveways, plus a trailer full of junk.
• Pls enforce trash can screening. Makes city look run down to see 2-4 cans in driveways.
• Something has to be done about the house <Redacted>. Not even a number on the house which has been uninhabited for 30+ years.
• Trash/waste receptacles are a BLIGHT - at least one home in each block near Cooper HS has exposed waste cans.
• A rental house or two near us have problems with yard condi�on and trash bins overflowing. I have been a New Hope resident for 65 years and like it here.
• In general this is a good city but code enforcement is week it seems.
• Too many people are not mowing their yards. Grass over a food detracts from the aesthe�c appearance of New Hope.
• As I walk in the neighborhood there are many garbage cans stored in plain sight of the street. The rules need to be enforced a litle more.
• People's yards - need more enforcement- weeds, not mowing. Garbage cans outside! Cars on nondriveways, on streets overnight. Wood fences - not stained.
I take pride in my house and yard. I shovel and snow blow around my fire hydrant to keep it open for the fire dept. Maybe a gi� every month for owners that
do a great job at that? One homeowner a month?
• City inspector does not do anything about problems that he cannot see from street. Will do nothing about backyard problems in neighbor’s house!
• Also, the streets are trashy, and the park entrance to Meadow Lake from 59th street is full of overgrown weeds and trees from the household (<Redacted>
Wisconsin Ave N.) covering the path."
• Trash can issues are sporadic, house at the North. Order of Zealand Ave N. and Boone have always had their bins visible to the street. Be consistent with
enforcement of these issues. We were warned the first week the ordinance about trash bins went into effect and have since always complied. Rules are rules
and should be enforced equally!
• Many residents consistently ignore city ordinances, mostly unatended barking dogs and lawn care. I would sure like to see a commitment to increase home
ownership in New Hope. I have been sickened by the transforma�on of Cherokee Village and what seems to be Brooklyn Parks complete abandonment of
63rd and Boone which directly impacts my New Hope home.
• Need to make more people to take of their lawns… weeds, overgrown grass, garbage.
• I feel the city only cares about when trash cans are out instead of the curb appeal of houses that don’t maintain their yards or have junk in their driveway and
backyard that is an eye sore.
• Some parts of New Hope are run down and need aten�on.
• City ordinances are not enforced. Period. I don't like to tatle on my neighbors, but this needs to be enforced. Garbage cans are visible. Not acceptable. Cars,
boats are not on a paved surface. Trees are not trimmed, and limbs are dangerous. Weeds - there is a weed ordinance- not enforced. People are stowing junk
beside their houses - visible from the streets. Enforcement person used to walk the streets and we had a clean city. I hope someone cases and issues are
resolved.
• Neighbors/houses on my block have long weeds, dead bushes and don't mow their lawns.
• Many residents consistently ignore city ordinances, mostly unatended barking dogs and lawn care. I would sure like to see a commitment to increase home
ownership in New Hope. I have been sickened by the transforma�on of Cherokee Village and what seems to be Brooklyn Parks complete abandonment of
63rd and Boone which directly impacts my New Hope home.
• <Redacted> Winnetka Ave N - Garage door and soffit has holes. House looks terrible. Has for a very long �me. <Redacted> Winnetka Ave N - Weeds along
wall block view when driving W on 53rd Ave N. Difficult to see traffic southbound on Winnetka. Weeds on sidewalk block sidewalk par�ally. Yard has too long
grass. <Redacted> Sumter Ave N - 2 inoperable vehicles in driveway. Thank you!
• The amount and types of vehicles parked in a driveway all the �me at certain residence - cheapen the overall appearance of the neighborhood. Just look
yourselves - 40th and Nevada streets!!
• Restric�on on burners! We have enough smoke in our air!
• The city needs to enforce code, especially on rental proper�es. Renters DO NOT pay homeowner’s tax... We the homeowners do. Homeowners are going to
move out of the city if you do not begin enforcing code!
• Some very poor housing on main roads (Winnetka and 36th). That includes excess vehicle/trailer/recrea�onal vehicle parking, some of it off hard surfaces
and including unoperated and even covered vehicles. <Redacted> Northwood has vehicles that never move and appear to be used for supply storage for an
unlicensed auto repair business at that address which is rented.
• You should ease up on noxious weeds. Anything that grows naturally should be allowed. We don't need lawns that look like astroturf.
• Proper�es need regula�ons on upkeep, lawn upkeep, number of cars and people ren�ng these homes (maybe people per SF and number of bathrooms
requirements.
• Needs much improvement with property owner having much junk around.
• Several lawns in my area of New Hope have not been mowed. I'm sure there is a city ordinance regarding lawns.
• Either enforce the codes on the books or change them! Nego�ate with the unions to report areas of concern. Consider providing new property owners with a
summary of per�nent, high problem code viola�on areas - they may also be helpful to current owners.
• Please enforce garbage cans stored in front of garages. And the long weedy grass that does not get cut (and this is not just no mow may). It really brings
down the look of the neighborhood. Thank you!
• Should be tougher on home with numerous cars, trash junk si�ng out especially on 42nd.
Taxes
• I would rather the city cut excess expenditure than provide more services. Thanks for reading.
• Unsure of how long we'll stay. Property taxes compared to Plymouth & Minnetonka are higher and keep going up. At some point, you have to give us a
break. My mom lives in Minnetonka and for a home valued higher than my own, her property taxes are lower and it's Hopkins School District. Sorry, but
Robbinsdale School District is not an asset. I think a Council Member should be required to also be a School Board Member or at least atend their mee�ngs,
it's quite eye opening..........in a bad way!
• The property tax it too high for us senior ci�zens on S.S.!
• TO MUCH MONEY!
• Property taxes are ge�ng prety he�y
• Why do city workers have to go back to the city buildings for lunch? Can't eat at loca�on - spending money for gas. Too much money spent on City hall area
for decos - use on streets and upda�ng real needs. Streets and cracking and need repair. Water pressure low. City spends too much money on lawn service.
KenLawn.)
• Taxes are way too high. Every year our house payment go up every year! $4000.00 a yea way too much. We had our payment at 1000 and now it is over 1300
and ever year keeps going up and up and up. STOP!!!
• My biggest issue with New Hope is the huge increase in property taxes for a small area our taxes are too high. Values have not increased near as much as we
are taxed on. The school district has also goten so much worse. The educa�on and tolerance for allowing police to dictate decisions.
• So glad we do not have to pay extra for road repairs etc. because it is already built into our taxes. Great job for ever did this!
• Property taxes as the por�on to New Hope, seems excessive in rela�on to new city building projects.
• High real estate taxes.
• everyone that pays property taxes is aware they have to pay more each year. The cost is always higher the following year. One contribu�ng factor of rising
taxes is the school district voter approved levies. My '22 school levy was $606.41. My '23 school levy is 746.37. People with children atending school in New
Hope have the majority votes which is not fair to residents with no kids and childless adults should be exempt of have this cost capped.
• I have lived in New Hope for 34 years. Now that I am re�red and have much less income my taxes are s�ll ridiculously high. Seniors should get a city tax
break. It's not fair because our city is small with not a lot of business that us homeowners have to pay so much for property taxes. Get a program in place so
seniors can afford to live here.
• The state had an 18-billion-dollar surplus. 31 years of a dollar counted every second equals 558+ years. We are grossly overtaxed in this state. Why did our
mayor not go to the state and ask for tax relief? I asked that ques�on last April at a City Hall mee�ng. The whole council looked at me with a blank state. Two
weeks ago, I bought a used boat. The couple told me they were moving to Florida from Eagan. Get this! They will save $4,000 a month! No ss taxes. No state
taxes. If the state chases seniors out, who will subs�tute teach in the public schools? I am re�red lots of �me on my hands. Maybe I should run for mayor.
• My taxes have exploded over �me with a favori�sm to unions and liberal leanings. I would leave the city but at 89 years of age I don't want to give up my
precious home.
Infrastructure
• I know it's the county's responsibility, but resurfacing of Rockford Road from the new bridge to Winnetka is in necessary need of resurfacing
• Please review the city road repair materials. We just had our road repaired this spring with something that was blown into the holes. It looks ok but, when
hot, it s�cks to �res and leaves black tar �re marks on concrete driveways.
• We live off of 36th and Decatur and with all the traffic diverted to 36th because of construc�on, there is cracked area in the street on 36th, just off of
Decatur, going towards Ensign, that when a truck or trailer goes past it, it causes such a loud noise that is heard from inside and outside the house day and
night. The asphalt is also peeling and li�ing off in this area, causing addi�onal noise. Contacted the city and was told it would not be fixed un�l next summer
when improvements are made on 36th. Really don’t want to put up with this noise for another year. Thank you.
• Rockford road has horrible pot holes star�ng from Getysburg heading east.
• During the 52nd bridge construc�on the 49th is the only way to get in from the Plymouth side from my work. The 3 way stop on flag and 49th is always
jammed at rush hour.
• Probably Plymouth’s domain, but coming off 169 N onto 49th is hard to see because of tall weeds on the bridge.
• There needs to be a turn arrow at the intersec�on of Boone and 49th going east/west. That intersec�on is dangerous as it’s difficult to see cars going straight
through the intersec�on when preparing to turn.
• besides some large potholes many years, the streets are generally prety good. Ques�on 12, Sewer catch basin grates on the streets s�ll get covered in
leaves and sediments. Few adjacent homeowners seem to care about that or believe they have any duty to help remove those. Somewhat similar issue with
lawn fer�lizer le� in street. Stormwater has not backed up into our street in quite a few years.
• It would be nice to have a beter bike path over the Schmidt Lake Road bridge over 169 or over Bass Lake Road bridge over 169. Then we can easily access
Eagle Lake Park.
• I never heard about the sewer project that we were no�fied about via news leter and what was completed and how that may impact us, I have had major
issues with my main drain line that goes to the street (Virginia Ave N) and I wonder what ever came of the project to repair the old pipes underground in our
area.
• I think the road on Winnetka Ave is worse than the road on Boone Ave. Winnetka should be maintained before Boone Ave.
• Sewer work on Yukon 7/20 - our need for info?
• 36th avenue needs paving. There are dips in the street. In front of my house there is a huge dip that shakes everything, especially when semi trucks go over
it. So much traffic is diverted due to the closure of exits and ramps of 42nd. It is some�mes difficult to get in and out of driveway and drivers are o�en rude.
Please repave the street. Century link has contracted with people and signs have been in the boulevard grass for weeks, killing the grass with zero progress.
Thanks! I don't agree that some things are put back on home owners and larger companies are le� off the hook.
• Dell Drive sure could use some maintenance help. How do you rate Dell Drive as a city?
• Boone and Bass Lk Road put the flashing yellow in. Wait forever on those lights.
• Why are the manholes placed in the road in such a posi�on that thousands of cars, trucks, etc. have to drive over them everyday? Why couldn't they be
placed so vehicles could straddle them. We pay a lot of money for news cars and track and gas tax. A good deal of wear and tear could be saved if we didn't'
have to drive over every
• We would like to see more maintenance of sidewalks. We reported ours earlier last year. It has a dip, it collects water and freezes, making it hazardous for
walking. someone came out and said it wasn't bad enough. We believe it is.
• I am not pleased about the fact the city will not cover the cost to repair a collapsed sewer 6" clay type pip due to tree roots in the pipe joints within 15 feet of
the curb. Above ground is eminent domain but not below ground in the middle of the driveway in this case. It cost me $6000 to repair.
• Lots of power outages in the city each �me there is a thunder storm. What can be done to remedy this?
• Street blacktop patch from winter sewer repair on Boone near Med Lake Rd (across from Sunny Hollow) is terrible patch. It's as lumpy as the temporary patch
all winter. Also, Hillsboro between 32nd and 36th is bad/broken up.
• Road construc�on closures - TERRIBLE! No rhyme or reason!
• We have been wai�ng years for a Highway 169 sound barrier to reduce road noise in our neighborhood. We were told several years ago by a city councilman
that it would be put on the agenda but so far nothing has taken place. Why does the barrier only cover the south end of New Hope?
• I am not sure why would a 4-way street (2 lanes each way) will have a 30-mph speed limit from Basslake Rd & Winnetaka Ave intersec�on heading east.
• There's a lot of potholes on the streets and parking lots that s�ll needs to be fixed. We are at the end of summer and a lot of the potholes from this past
winter/spring is s�ll there.
• Power outages. Never have we lived somewhere with more community power outages. We've been here almost 3 years and the power goes out o�en, and
they are all community outages, not just our house. A majority of them are not even weather related. We have had to throw out food many �mes. Too much.
The power should not go out as much as it as. 8/1, 7/20, 7/19, 6/25, 6/24, 6/10, 6/2... many many more. It's been disappoin�ng.
• We are currently having our watermain and street replaced and our neighborhood is a mess! I am hoping this project will be completed as soon as possible.
Also, our water supply at least the one we had) is good. We have lived in Robbinsdale and had terrible hard water. Its nice not to have to deal with that here. I
hope that con�nues a�er our new water pipes are in place. Also, thankful we will not be billed individually for this project.
• We have no parking around our house (48th/Utah) during the day and at night but occasionally the residents on Winnetka will park all around the block with
no consequences. We live here but can't park here. The no parking signs were originally put up to keep Cooper students from surrounding the house every
day and did a great job ending that. BUT we can't park either. How about changing it to "Resident Parking Only" A�er all, the old mayor had them in front of
his house.
• Bass Lake Road/Rockford Road are almost a blight to look at. Taxes raised every year I've been here and streets in neighboring ci�es got repaired - ours got a
loose coat of gravel. Thank you for fixing rail crossing at Winnetka and 50th!!
• "No engine brake" sign on Boone Southbound at Xylon.
• As for the sewer system goes, I don't feel the city is correct in placing the replacement of the system from the curb to the main on the homeowners. I know
most local ci�es take on that responsibility from the curb to the main. As a homeowner, I know I have no choice as to who does that work, nor do I have
control over the quality of work. I am unable to bid that work out to relieve a reasonable responsible price either. Most NH homeowners are NOT able to pay
the inflated price charged for this service.
• City storm sewer/u�lity work has damaged Northwood Parkway, removing mature trees and installing poor quality lawn seed.
• Have no�ced a�er streets have been worked on where personal property has been torn up and replaced the roads look good but yards look super weedy
from contractor grass. I think this makes the yard look like unkept and the whole neighborhood look trashy. Schools and parks are the only nice-looking grass
in city.
• Concerns about rainwater runoff from streets at 34th Ave and Ensign into Hidden Valley Park
• Closing 49th to one lane during Rockford Road bridge construc�on - bad �ming!
• New Hope needs to invest in bike lanes on county roads. No need to have 4 lanes on neighborhood county roads. Go to two lanes with center turn lane and
bike lanes. Don’t allow parking in bike lanes. Also, neighbor streets are too wide and allow cars to drive too fast.
• The drainage outlet by our house is ge�ng another “bandaid”, it is pollu�ng the lake and is not being done the way it should have been done to begin with. It
defeats the purpose of everything else done for the lake. We have been in communica�on with Nick on this however need more city support in ge�ng this
done the right way.
• Lower speed limit on residen�al streets.
• The project that was done of summer-fall 2022- ok. However, the boulevard areas to replace dirt and seeding was very poor. Terrible. Nothing but weeds.
Can’t even pull out. They redid the seed spring of 2023. Same thing, nothing but weeds - poor cheap contractors. Never experienced this before living in area
50 years. Disappointed with the amount of taxes we pay. Should have beter service than this.
• I would like to see more pocket rain gardens, specifically there are places that flood in parks around sidewalks to manage melt and stormwater. A corner
garden in Northwood is ignored but water pools behind it for example.
U�li�es
• Water is sure expensive here!
• The cost of water has increased- what we used to pay for 3 months now we pay almost more per 1 month!! Why? Not fair.
• Your pay by phone 24/7 does not work very well. Every month that I call in the system states they can't ID my account. I have to call back and re-enter
everything again. It takes 3-5 separate �mes of calling before the system can locate my account. This is for my monthly water bill. I hope this can be fixed.
• Water to expensive
• The cost of water is too high.
• Why is my current bill 90 - never that high in the past. Please call me.
• Black oily gunk in water periodically! Yuck.
• Terrible the city got rid of the drive up bill drop, now mul�ple people have to get out of their car to drop something off instead of one person going out and
collec�ng. No thought of the elderly or handicapped.
• Water pressure is horrible and ge�ng worse every year.
• The cost of water is too high.
• Our water comes out of faucets very well, but it smells and makes cloudy ice and is ques�onable to drink.
• Water to expensive
• Water bill is too high.
Community Development
• An amazing boost to the city is atrac�ng investors that are will to revitalize the building serving Unique and Dollar Tree. Ideally tear down and build a place
that is a mixture of commercial and residen�al.
• We love living in New Hope - it's close to a lot of ac�vi�es. But would really like to have a breakfast place to eat. We miss Country Kitchen's excellent
breakfast food.
• What is the Curbside Appeal Reimbursement?
• Wish we could get some beter restaurants and businesses, just a dream!
• No more group homes!
• Overall all well managed city. Need to atract more business to support tax base and manage costs.
• On our own - my husband and I started researching price, styles etc. on garage doors (approximately 2022) We then purchased 3 garage doors - 1 double, 1
single and another single on the back side of the garage. Deal was confirmed with half payment due the first part of December. Job done in January 2023.
About two weeks a�er the fact, I saw the ar�cle in the Sun Post. I called City Hall, was prety much told "Too bad, too sad. You should have called BEFORE you
purchased." I didn't know of the program. I drove down to City Hall - NO ONE would see me. I le� John Elder an email . He would check into this. Never heard
back from him. My husband and I are in our mid 70s and not the savviest on social media. If this program was on regular TV we would have known. WHY NO
ONE CARED TO SEE ME IS UNREAL.
• Very skep�cal of the scatered site housing program. They came in and built a mini mansion off of 53rd which sat on the market for 6 months because it was
a poor choice for an older neighborhood. Now they have another one planned on my street, and I am very worried what they're going to do. It's one thing to
take a house that is condemned/structurally unsound/etc (like the one off Winnetka) and start from the ground up. However, for most of the houses they just
need to be updated/remodeled. Our community does not need more expensive, fancy homes on the market. We need affordable homes and that's why I and
others have chosen New Hope as home. I truly love my neighborhood and the 50's feel. Please be though�ul in your choices moving forward.
• They need to update the strip malls and make it look more appealing. It looks old. Also bring in more businesses.
• I think we have enough apartment buildings
• Issues: Too much rental housing, especially single family by absentee owners.
• Why do we have so many group homes? Like the one of 39th Avenue and over at the end of 38th on Boone. Only 2 houses in between?
Events
• Please bring the farmer’s market back
• I wish the farmers market and Duk Duk Daze would come back.
• the city looks fabulous, miss the farmer's market.
• Bring back Duk Duk Daze
• Great city - but more investment, beter street ligh�ng, more robust community and really miss city events such as Duk Duk Daze - an event that brought
together our great community
• It would be nice to have a city fes�val again. It would be nice if Friday Bingo was offered in the evening so more people could atend.
• Miss farmers market, Duk Duk Daze and fireworks
• Duk Duk Daze was a 50-year tradi�on that was ruined by the black kids and there figh�ng! Same as in Robbinsdale! This is Bull Shit! They should have been
locked up. We should have a safe Duk Duk Daze again. The city has let this happen. Being so� on crime. Hold them accountable.
• Would like fireworks to return.
Miscellaneous
• Very upset that you do not furnish return envelopes with this bill/survey.
• No return envelope with this mailing! Pleasant people on phone when you call them.
• Anyone pu�ng fluoride in our drinking water is like Hitler commi�ng genocide on the Jews. Tim Walz is behind this as well. The airplanes flying overhead
spraying us all with chemtrails is also genocide. It was the same genocide you have been promo�ng with COVID vaccines which you do nothing but kill
people. If you want the truth - go to UNITEDNetwork.TV (pay $9 per month). It is a fact that Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Vladimir Pu�n are dead and are
played now with actors waring face masks with voice changing technology. If I give you my name you could just report me to the "Deep State". They want us
sick or dead. Just go to UnitedNetwork.TV and listen to news from Kimberly Ann Agnen and Sunny Gault. Tim Walz should be resigned.
• Yeah to Dave Lemke!!
• Being in the NW corner of New Hope city services occasionally seem delated or sparse compared to other por�ons of the city. In general, New Hope has been
a good place to own and live.
• Surveys are not taken to heart. Nothing becomes from them, city will do things there way. What we say maters not.
• I love new hope - Megan 10 yrs. Old
• I had ques�ons for the city last week and talked with Linda Bergemann. I vote for her to be employee of the month. Most polite and enjoyable city employee
I ever dealt with.
• I am proud to live in New Hope!
• We appreciate the city asking for feedback on the services it provides us. We need as much communica�on as possible. The only thing that concerns me is
that I think you should include a return envelope with the survey request. We almost did not send our response. It does not need to be a prepaid one.
• Thankful for all your service within our New Hope community. At 80 and 48 years of my life raising my kids in our community. We have had all great service
and enjoy having lived in this great community of New Hope.
• We've been here 30 years, good place to live.
• Moved here in 1960s and have been sa�sfied with living here
• Can’t say enough good things about the police and public works. They are the best. My neighbors have changed many �mes but always stay wonderful
• I love living here for 58 years. A lot has changed and for the good.
• You guys have a hard job making decisions for all of us. Thank you!
• Keep up the good work!
• Having lived in New Hope for 41 years and have been (?) by the transi�on of govt from conserva�ve to almost le�ist policy.
• Love your survey.
• Great city to live in!
• Thank you for the great team at City Hall!
• I want to address the digital billboard Plymouth put up last fall. It is really a downer in our neighborhood. Drive into my neighborhood at 34th and
Independence and the d-thing is looking to be si�ng on my roof. Then it is in full view to all my west-fa cing windows and shines in all night constantly
changing different ligh�ng bright to dark. I have talked to everyone at New Hope and called Plymouth, but I guess my problem is mine. No one cares how
crappy the digital billboard is. Why is it at code when no other billboards in the Twin Ci�es is that high.
• I moved to New Hope in 2019. I was very proud of telling people that I moved to New Hope (seriously). Overall, I'm not longer proud of telling people that I
live in New Hope. I will be moving as soon as the mortgage rates drop to a respectable level.
• We really feel and are grateful that New hope takes care of its people and works to improve and keep the area nice.

Request for Action

Approved by: Reece Bertholf, City Manager
Originating Departments:
Public Works and Parks and Recreation
By: Bernie Weber, Director of Public Works &
Susan Rader, Director of Parks and Recreation
Agenda Title
Review of the city’s capital improvement program (CIP) for 2024‐2033 and the updated long‐term financial
plan with Abdo
Requested Action
Staff recommends the City Council discuss the CIP for 2024‐2033. The discussion will include a review of the
proposed projects and purchases, updates of current projects, and funding sources for the projects and
purchases. Staff will address 2024‐2025 in detail and cover highlights for 2026‐2033.
In the past Council reviewed the CIP in the spring and the long‐term financial plan in the fall. Since the long‐
term financial plan includes capital outlay needs it was decided to review the CIP and financial plan together.
Staff worked with Erin Enstad from Abdo and the city manager to produce the ten‐year CIP. A memo that
summarizes the CIP cash flow for the funds for the next ten years has also been provided.
The long‐term financial plan includes estimates and incorporates the 2024 budget data into the long‐range
forecast. Specific attention has been paid to the street infrastructure, park infrastructure, utility
(water/sewer/storm water), and enterprise (golf course/ice arena) funds, as well as central garage/equipment
reserve funds. Efforts have been made to reduce capital improvement expenditures so they are in line with
forecasted revenue projections.
Staff will review the updated plans and receive feedback from the City Council.
Background
The city’s CIP is a planning tool that was previously a five‐year program, and in 2018, the CIP and long‐term
financial plan were extended to cover a ten‐year period. This continues to be a good process to review the
city’s financial operations and long‐term outlook.
The Public Works Department’s portion of the CIP includes improvements to the city’s infrastructure, the
Public Works facility and equipment replacement. The Parks and Recreation Department’s portion of the
plan includes improvements for the parks, community gyms, aquatic park, ice arena, and golf course.
As a reminder, changes were made in 2013 that included separating the golf course and ice arena
expenditures from the Parks Infrastructure Fund to give a true indication of the cost to run those two
facilities. In addition, equipment purchases of $10,000 and greater are being charged to the Central Garage
Fund. Both the golf and arena budgets contribute to this fund on a yearly basis to assist with future
replacement costs. Equipment purchases of less than $10,000 are typically covered under the facility

operating funds. Per Abdo’s recommendation, most recreation, parks and aquatic park items costing $5,000
or less are included in the appropriate operating budget.
As the council is aware, new levies were established with the 2024 budget for the fire station, aquatic center
and city hall/police station.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of New Hope
4401 Xylon Avenue North
New Hope, Minnesota 55428
Introduction
As discussed in prior communications to the City Council, we have been preparing a long term plan for the City that is
intended to give a big picture view of the status now and ten years from now. We have measured and projected
operations, capital and debt for the City based on assumptions made by management. The City’s assumptions made are
as follows:
Assumptions
The following assumptions have been used to calculate the projections in this report:
Interest earnings 1.00%
Governmental fund revenue growth (2)3.00%
Governmental fund expenditure growth (2)4.00%
Enterprise fund revenue growth(1)5.00%
Enterprise fund expense growth(1)5.00%
General Fund levy growth (3)Varies
Street Infrastructure levy growth 5.00%
Park levy growth 5.00%
Park levy for Ice $500,000
EDA levy growth Varies
Tax capacity growth (4)3.50%
Population growth 0.58%
Median home value growth 1.00%
Enterprise debt term N/A
Enterprise debt interest rate N/A
Governmental funds debt term (2)N/A
Governmental funds debt interest rate (2)N/A
(1) Specific enterprise fund assumptions are noted in the Financial Section.
(2) Specific governmental fund assumptions are noted in the Financial Section.
(3) General Fund levy has been adjusted to meet minimum fund balance requirements.
Levy increase is detailed on the Tax Summary in the Financial Section.
(4) Growth in captured tax increment capacity has not been modeled, although it is expected to increase over time.
A net 3.5% growth in non-captured tax capacity has been used for purposes of this report.
9
Assumptions with Future Action
•Fire Capital Fund 9010 has proposed 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 has proposed 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.
•Swimming Pool Capital Fund 9204 has proposed 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
2033. 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 2033, other significant assumptions are as follows:
o Ice Arena Fund 9303 will utilize a $825,000 interfund loan from the Temporary Financing Fund in 2026 to
fund parking lot improvements. 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 and/or transfers 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.
o Golf Course Enterprise Fund 9302 will utilize a $100,000 interfund loan from the Temporary Financing
Fund in 2026 to fund cold storage replacement. The long-term plan assumes a fifteen (15) year
amortization and no interest on the interfund loans.
o Golf Course Enterprise Fund 9302 will utilize a $700,000 transfer from the Park Infrastructure Capital in
2026 to fund replacement of the irrigation system.
•Street Infrastructure Capital Fund 9203 will increase the levy for capital by 5 percent, annually. Other significant
assumptions are as follows:
o Municipal State Aid revenue will be received for applicable projects.
•Water Fund 9301 will receive a $2,500,000 payment from the Joint Water Commission in 2026 will offset project
costs related to the repainting of the south water tower.
•Street Light Fund 9305 plans to incur costs related to the Boone Signal Replacement, monument sign, and lighting
project in the amount of $500,000 in 2023. The Fund will utilize a $500,000 interfund loan from the Sewer Fund to
fund the project. The long-term plan assumes a five (5) year amortization and no interest on the interfund loans.
•Central Garage Fund 9402 includes the value of cash in the Public Works Facility Fund 9240, which incorporates
prior year transfers and Coronavirus Relief Act funding from the General Fund totaling $2,033,261.
•No new debt issuance has been modeled in this long-term plan.
10
Key Highlights
•At December 31, 2022, the General fund had a 46.9 percent unassigned fund balance. The Minnesota Office of
the State Auditor defines an adequate reserve as 35-50 percent of the General fund expenditures. The City’s policy
on fund balance currently specifies that a 42 percent reserve level shall be maintained. The projected General
Fund balance remains within the 35-50 percent rage throughout the life of this Plan, although it does dip below
the 42 percent for a couple of years (this will be monitored closely). We anticipate the General fund levy will grow
by an average of 5 percent to maintain the desired reserve level.
•The tax levy is projected to increase from $20 million (2024 proposed) to $27.5 million over the duration of this
Plan. The levy increase will result in an increase in the projected tax rate, growing from 58 percent (2024
proposed) to 59 percent over the duration of this Plan.
o Tax capacity is assumed to grow at a rate of 3.50 percent during the duration of this Plan. A growth in tax
capacity in excess of these projections may result in lower tax rates in future years.
•The annual tax amount for the Median Home is projected to increase from $1,851 (2024 proposed) to $2,061 over
the duration of this Plan.
•Total debt outstanding is projected to decrease from $43 million (2022 actual) to $4 million over the duration of
this Plan. No new debt issuance has been modeled in this Plan. As a result, the debt per capita will decrease from
$1,912 (2022 actual) per household to an estimated $166 over the duration of this Plan.
•The total cash position of the City is projected to increase from $48 million (2022 actual) to $72 million over the
duration of this Plan.
•Contributions from the General Fund for Central Garage are assumed to remain at 100% over the duration of this
Plan.
•Intergovernmental revenue, tax increment, developer contributions or other outside funding has been identified in
the separate capital fund worksheets.

Tax Rates
Tax Rates:
General Fund Operations and All Funds Cash Balances
General Fund Balance as a Percent of Revenue:Cash Balance by Planned Use:
Tax rates are a function of the levy and total tax base. The city tax rate is computed by dividing the city levy by the taxable tax capacity. Future tax rates are
based on the assumption of 3.5% growth in tax capacity (see Assumptions). Comparable communities are provided for reference.
The General fund fund balance should be maintained at a level to provide for
adequate working capital reserves. The MN State Auditor recommends a 35-50%
reserve. As the expenditure budget grows, the required reserve should increase
accordingly. The City can build to this target by adding to contingency each
year. This can be accomplished by reducing expenditures and maintaining the
same level of revenue or increasing tax levy.
The balances represented in this graph are categorized by the planned
use and/or limitations determined by statute.

No additional debt issuance has been modeled in this plan.New Hope debt per capita is in the middle range to comparable cities ratios.
This graph highlights the percent of levy by planned use. Increases in the levy
are primarily attributed to the growth in scheduled and proposed debt levies as
well as growth in the City's General levy. The overall city tax burden for a median
home value (actual for 2023 and 2024 and projected for 2025 through 2033) is
shown in the graph on the right.
The overall property tax levy for an average valued house is
highlighted above.

Agenda Title
Review public hearing presentation for proposed 2024 budget
Requested Action
Staff is requesting that the Council continue to discuss the 2024 budget and direct staff if any changes are
required prior to the November 27, 2023 budget public hearing. Representatives from Abdo will be present to
assist with the discussion.
Policy/Past Practice
After the preliminary budget and tax levy are adopted in September and work session discussions conducted
in the fall, it is routine practice to prepare an updated presentation for the budget public hearing and discuss
other unfinished budget‐related issues.
Background
The preliminary budget and tax levy was adopted at the September 11 city council meeting. This is the
maximum tax levy and budget that can be adopted; it can be reduced before final adoption in December, but
it cannot be increased. The Council reviewed all general fund budgets with department heads at their
September work session and reviewed utility and enterprise fund budgets at the October work session. No
changes have been made to date on the budget.
The powerpoint presentation is attached for Council’s review. The presentation will be made at the
November 27th public hearing.

I:\RFA\City Manager\2023\MMKR 3 yr proposal\WS ‐ Discuss 3‐Year Audit 11.20.23.docx
Request for Action
November 20, 2023
Approved by: Reece Bertholf, City Manager
Originating Department: City Manager
By: Reece Bertholf, City Manager
Agenda Title
Discuss three‐year audit proposal from MMKR
Requested Action
Staff requests to briefly discuss the attached three‐year audit proposal submitted by MMKR for the fiscal
years ending December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025. A representative from Abdo will also be in attendance to
provide their recommendation. If the Council is supportive of the proposal, staff recommends the proposal
be placed on a future regular council agenda for consideration.
Policy/Past Practice
The city has utilized the services of MMKR in past years to complete the annual audit. The City Council has
approved four, three‐year audit proposals from MMKR in the past beginning with year 2011. For each of the
years included in the three‐year proposals, a specific engagement letter is presented to the Council for
approval for that year (the engagement letter for the 2023 audit will be presented at the December 11 Council
Meeting).
Background
The last three‐year audit proposal with MMKR was approved on October 28, 2019, for the fiscal years ending
December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 (audit costs were $38,730 in 2020, $39,345 in 2021, and $39,965 in 2022).
Staff recently solicited a bid for a subsequent three‐year period. The proposal for years ending December 31,
2023, 2024, and 2025 are:
Year Ending
December 31, Basic Audit
2023 $46,500
2024 $48,125
2025 $49,800
Council will note a fairly large increase in the proposal from last time. MMKR indicated there are several
reasons for the fee increase, including the increasing complexity of governmental audits with the
implementation of new standards for reporting leases and SBITAs, the additional reporting requirements
associated with those standards, and the shortage of accountants and auditors and the resulting salary
inflation being experienced in the industry. In addition, MMKR took over the responsibility for preparing
(drafting, editing, and producing) the city’s ACFR from Abdo three years ago. In the last three‐year price
quote (FY2019‐2022) MMKR agreed to provide those services at the approximate fee that Abdo had been
charging (approximately $4,500). Over that three‐year period, the fees only covered approximately 67% of
auditors’ time based on the standard auditor staff rates.
Abdo continues to facilitate preparation of the statistical section of the ACFR and oversee the application to
the Government Finance Officers Association Excellence in Financial Reporting award. No single audit is
necessary for 2023 as the city did not receive federal grant funds.
Agenda Section
Work Session
Item Number

Request for Action, Page 2
Per Abdo, MMKR has worked with the city for several years and is very familiar with the city’s finances and
processes. The firm completes the audit in a timely, professional manner and the audit staff assigned to the
city’s audit are knowledgeable and efficient.
It is Abdo and staff’s recommendation that the city accept the proposal from MMKR for audit services for the
fiscal years ending 2023 through 2025. If Council supports the recommendation, the engagement letter for the
2023 audit will be presented at the December 11 Council Meeting
Funding
Staff anticipated a rate increase for the 2023 audit, and the 2024 budget has $44,830 earmarked compared to
the quote of $46,500. The $1,670 shortfall will be funded from the Finance budget.

Mr. Reece Bertholf, City Manager
City of New Hope
4401 Xylon Avenue North
New Hope, MN 55428
Dear Mr. Bertholf:
We are pleased to submit this proposal to provide auditing services for the City of New Hope (the City) for
the fiscal years ending December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, subject to the City’s annual review and
approval.
Our audits will be conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America; the standards for financial and compliance audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the provisions of the Legal Compliance Audit Guide
promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 6.65; and any other applicable state or
federal audit guide. We will review the City’s internal control and test accordingly.
We anticipate issuing the following report letters in relation to the City’s audits:
1.A report on the fair presentation of the basic financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, with an “in relation to” opinion on the
combining and individual fund financial statements and supporting schedules.
2.A report on compliance and on internal control over financial reporting based on an audit of financial
statements performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
3.A report on compliance with Minnesota State Laws and Regulations.
We understand the City does not expect to earn more than $750,000 of federal awards annually and,
accordingly, is not expected to need a single audit of federal awards expenditures.
We will also provide a management report to communicate comments and recommendations as a result of
the audit, including: a discussion of any internal control-related or compliance findings resulting from the
current year audit; recommendations to management on improving its accounting system and financial

The assistance to be supplied by your personnel, including the preparation of schedules and analysis of
accounts, typing all cash or other confirmations we request, and locating any inv oices selected by us for
testing, will be discussed and coordinated with you.
We understand that Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Co., P.A. (MMKR) will be responsible for
preparing the initial draft of the financial statements, notes, and supplementary schedules; as well as typing,
editing, and printing the financial statements. Our fee is based on an audit of the City and does not include
the preparation cost of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). Prior to issuance of the final
audit report, we shall review the report draft, management report, internal control letters, and any other
required compliance reports with the City’s management.
If our audit procedures indicate that material errors, illegal acts, or other irregularities mig ht exist, we will
make an immediate, written report to the City’s management, City Council, and/or other city officials, as
appropriate.
Our fees for these services will be based on the actual time spent at our standard hourly rates, plus travel
and other out-of-pocket costs such as report production, typing, postage, etc. Our standard hourly rates
vary according to the degree of responsibility involved and the experience level of the personnel assigned
to your audit. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each month as work progresses and are payable
upon presentation. The anticipated fees for the indicated services are shown on the Schedule of
Professional Fees and Expenses included in this Dollar Cost Bid Proposal.
The fees charged are based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that
unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If we find that additional audit
procedures are required, or if additional services are requested by the City, those services will be billed at
our standard hourly rates. Additional audit procedures might be required for certain accounting issues or
events such as new contractual agreements, new accounting and auditing standards, transactions an d
legal requirements of new bond issues, new funds, major capital projects, or if there is an indication of
misappropriation or misuse of public funds, or if significant difficulties are encountered due to the lack of
accounting records, incomplete records, or turnover in the City’s staff.
Our proposal assumes that the City and its contracted accounting service provider will be responsible for
preparing substantially all financial schedules and other information required for the audit, as in our previous
audit engagements with the City. The cost of any additional accounting assistance performed at the request
of the City will be based on the actual time required and the hourly rates of the individuals performing the
services. We will not perform extended services at a cost to the City unless so authorized by the appropriate
city officials.
We hope you will give our proposal due consideration. We will continue to give the City Council and
administration the quality service you expect from your auditors. If you have any questions, please contact
William J. Lauer, CPA, Principal. This proposal covers the fiscal years ending December 31, 2023, 2024,
and 2025, and is a firm and irrevocable offer for a period of ninety (90) days.

recommendations included in any report issued on this engagement or as a result of new standards, then
such additional work shall be performed only if set forth in an addendum to the contract between the City
and MMKR. Any such additional work agreed to between the City and MMKR would be performed at the
standard hourly rates of the professional staff performing the services. MMKR does not charge its audit
clients for inquiries and technical assistance during the year that are minor in nature (those that would not
require a significant amount of research or result in the issuance of a separate report letter or letter).

Agenda Title
Discussion regarding fees for 2024
Requested Action
Staff requests Council’s consideration of an updated fee schedule for fees and charges related to licenses,
permits, and programs including: animal, business, rental registration, park and recreation, fire prevention,
planning and zoning, utility, franchise, administrative citations, and other miscellaneous fees.
Policy/Past Practice
The city reviews charges for services and programs during the annual budget process.
Background
The initial Fee Schedule was adopted on January 23, 2017, to replace chapter 14 of the city code. The fee
schedule serves as an all‐inclusive document for city charges. Many cities use a fee schedule and the League
of Minnesota Cities supports the practice. The fee schedule was adopted with the understanding that it
would be reviewed on an annual basis in conjunction with the budget process and that any subsequent
changes to the fee schedule would be adopted by a resolution.
Many of the proposed fee increases were discussed during previous budget discussions. Memorandums from
directors have been included to explain the various fees. Modifications to the fee schedule proposed for 2024
include:
Utility rate increases
Credit card transaction fee (new)
Park and recreation program fee increases
Community development rate increases for rental properties and permits
Police department fee for body worn camera video requests (new)
Public works permit fee increases

MEMO
TO: REECE BERTHOLF, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ERIN ENSTAD, ABDO FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS, LLC
SUBJECT: PROPOSED UTILITY RATE INCREASES FOR 2024
DATE: 11/27/2023
Background
On October 16, 2023, Abdo presented a memo summarizing the 2024 proposed budget for the City’s
enterprise funds. The memo highlighted the need for a rate increase to support increases in operating costs
(JWC and Met Council), debt service (street improvement bonds) and growing infrastructure needs as
highlighted in the City’s ten-year capital improvement plan.
It was recommended that the following increases be approved for 2024:
Water, 5%;
Sewer, 4%;
Street Lights, 5%;
Recycling, $0.90; and
Storm Drainage, 4%;
The City Council requested that Staff put together a calculation to show the estimated impact on a typical
user. That information follows.
Impact on Typical Residential User
A typical residential user in New Hope consumes approximately 5,000 gallons of water, monthly. That
assumption has been used to calculate the impact of the proposed rate increases as follows.
Water
In 2023, a typical residential user pays $50.54 each month for water. The proposed 5 percent increase for
2024 will result in a $52.89 monthly bill, an increase of $2.35 per month.
Sewer
In 2023, a typical residential user pays $40.39 each month for sewer. The proposed 4 percent increase for
2024 will result in a $42.02 monthly bill, an increase of $1.63 per month.
2
Storm Drainage
In 2023, a typical residential user pays $9.50 each month for storm drainage. The proposed 4 percent
increase for 2024 will result in a $9.88 monthly bill, an increase of $0.38 per month.
Streetlight
In 2023, a residential customer pays $1.52 each month for streetlights. The proposed 5 percent increase for
2024 will result in a $1.60 monthly bill, an increase of $0.08 per month.
Recycling
In 2023, a residential customer pays $5.00 each month for recycling. The proposed 18 percent increase for
2024 will result in a $5.90 monthly bill, an increase of $0.90 per month.
Total Bill
In 2023, a typical residential user would have paid $106.95 each month for these utility services. The
proposed rate increases for 2024 will result in a $112.29 monthly charge, an increase of $5.34 per month.

DATE: 11/27/2023
SUBJECT: PROPOSED CREDIT CARD FEES FOR 2024
Background
As part of the budget process, it came to our attention that the credit card transaction fees the city is paying
continues to increase each year. To help offset these escalating costs, we are proposing to charge a 3
percent fee on all credit card transactions to our residents who choose to pay a city bill via a credit card.
The aim is to sustain our operation's efficiency while ensuring we continue to deliver the same level of
service to our residents without placing the entire financial burden on the city's budget. The specifics of the
implementation are still being worked out. We will ensure that the residents are made aware of this change
in a timely and clear manner when it is ready to be implemented.
The following table is a summary of budgeted and actual costs from 2019-2024.

Memorandum
C:\Users\vleone\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\K7QH6QJS\Memo re 2024 Fees.docx
To: New Hope City Council
From: Susan Rader, Director of Parks and Recreation
Date: December 1, 2023
Subject: 2024 Fees for Parks & Recreation
Staff is requesting that the Council approve fees and charges for 2024 Parks and Recreation
programs and facilities.
The 2024 budgets as presented on this agenda contain revenue projections that include user
fees based on the listing attached. When setting fees, staff may also survey other local cities to
make sure New Hope’s fees and charges are neither too high nor too low. These fees have been
discussed in conjunction with the review of the 2024 budgets and include many minor
increases.
Several recreation program fees will increase slightly for 2024. These increases are based on the
need to offset higher expenses for specific programs. Some facility fees will have minimal
increases including field rental and gym rentals.
Most fees for the aquatic park will increase, except for lap swim/water walking punch cards
and swim team storage. Season passes will increase $5 per pass and daily admissions will
increase $2.
The golf course greens fees will increase $1 for adults and seniors, and $.50 for juniors. Most
other golf fees will increase slightly, including patio and clubhouse rentals.
At the ice arena, most fees are increasing including a $10 increase in the prime-time ice rental
rate, starting September 1, and a $5 increase in the off-season rental rate.
The weed eradication/lawn mowing is completed by a contractor. The fee schedule is being
changed to read that the fee will be “as billed” from the contractor and the weed inspector fee
is increasing to $100.
Staff reviewed the fee schedule increases with the city manager, and he is in agreement with
the recommendations.

Rental Property Registration Fees
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Previously, the City Council increased the rental registration fees and property maintenance
inspection fees incrementally over several years in an effort to justify city costs associated with
performing the inspections. During the Covid 19 pandemic, staff decided not to increase fees
because of the overall strain that the pandemic placed on the economy and general public. The
last time that the City Council increased rental registration fees was in 2019, effective for the
year 2020. At this time, Community Development staff proposes an increase in the rental
registration fees in order to better cover city costs associated with scheduling inspections,
performing inspections, record keeping, etc. The proposed changes are as follows:
Single-Family Rental Fees: Increase from $95.00 to $100.00
Point of Conversion Annual Fee: Increase from $750.00 to $800.00
Two-Family Rental Fees: Increase from $190.00 to $200.00
Multi-Family Rental
Standard Per Building Fees: Increase from $175.00 to $185.00
Best Practice Participant Fees: Increase from $100.00 to $115.00
Fees that will remain the same from 2023 include:
•Multi-Family per unit fee
•Best Practice Participant per unit fee

Memorandum
To: New Hope City Council
From: Tim Hoyt, Director of Police
Date: November 7, 2023
Subject: 2024 Fees for Police Department
Staff is requesting that the Council approves fees and charges for 2024 for the Police
Department services.
The department has added body worn cameras as a tool for our officers to use and have on
their person for every public interaction. Due to this the need to develop a fee scale for the
request and release of the body worn camera footage was necessary. With this need in mind
our department consulted with seven local agencies comparable in size and call volume to
determine appropriate compensation for requested data.
Based on the compiled data the department is proposing the following fee schedule for
requested body worn camera data:
$10 USB Media Fee
$50 Per Video(Per Officer)
Memorandum
To: New Hope City Council
From: Bernie Weber, Director of Public Works
Date: November 8, 2023
Subject: 2024 Public Works Fees
Staff is requesting that the Council approve fees and charges for 2024 Public Works Department
permit services.
The following service fees will increase slightly for 2024. These increases are based on the need
to offset higher expenses for specific services:
• Permit fees for sewer connection and repairs are increasing from $100 to $150.
• Permit fees for water connection and repairs are increasing from $100 to $150.
• Right-of-way management permit fees will have an increase in the annual registration
from $50 to $100. The excavation permit will remain $350.
Staff reviewed the fee schedule increases with the city manager, and he agrees with the
recommendations.

Request for Action
November 20, 2023
Approved by: Reece Bertholf
Originating Department: City Manager
By: Reece Bertholf, City Manager
Agenda Title
Review updated financial management plan with Abdo
Requested Action
Staff requests that the City Council review and provide feedback on the updated financial management plan
prepared by Abdo. Representatives from Abdo will be in attendance to explain the update(s). In the past the
Council has approved updates to the plan by consensus at a council work session.
Policy/Past Practice
The city updates policies on an as‐needed basis.
Background
In 2016 a Financial Management Plan was created for the city which encompasses all of the city’s major
financial policies. Council is asked to review the plan when changes are made. The entire plan was last
reviewed on January 18, 2022. The Revolving Fund loan policy was adopted by Council on November 14,
2022. At this time updates to the Contract Policy are being recommended, and Council is asked to
review/approve the updated Financial Management Plan.
The Contract Policy aligns with state statutes providing the city manager the authority to approve
expenditures up to $20,000 (see page 24 of the plan). All contracts must be signed by the mayor and city
manager.

Honorable Mayor and City Council City of New Hope

New Hope, Minnesota 55428
Introduction
As requested by the City Manager, we have updated the City’s Financial Management Plan in conjunction with input from
the City Clerk and department directors. A Financial Management Plan is a document that encompasses all of the City’s
major financial policies. The development and maintenance of a Financial Management Plan is an important part of the
overall financial well-being of the City.
From time to time, changes in Statute and other management processes may require an update to the City's Financial
Management Plan. We present to you, this updated Plan which incorporates changes by the State Legislature. We
recommend the Financial Management Plan be adopted by Resolution of the City Council. In doing so, the policies set
forth in this Plan will supersede previously adopted financial management policies.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss any of the policies contained in the Financial Management Plan,
please feel free to contact us at your convenience. We wish to thank you for the continued opportunity to be of
service and for the courtesy and cooperation extended to us by your staff.
Sincerely,
Abdo Financial Solutions, LLC

consistent with the City’s fund balance reserve policies.

the operating budget.
G. The City will review step and grade plans annually and provide for a cost of living adjustment to

H. To protect against unforeseen events, the City Council may budget for and maintain a contingency
reserve in accordance with the City’s fund balance reserve policies.
I. The City may apportion its administrative and general government costs to all its funds as appropriate
and practical. These charges will be identified in the annual budget.
J. The City Council, City Manager and department directors will monitor revenues and departmental
expenditures to ensure adherence to budgeted amounts. Budget appropriations are by department total
within each fund rather than by line item (i.e., account.) Budget changes that involve the transfer of
appropriations among accounts only require the approval of the City Manager or designee.
K. The City will also review and update, the schedule of fund balances, reserves, and working capital in
all other operating funds of the City and determine adequacy of those money balances, using
specified guidelines and criteria in conjunction with the budgets set annually.
L. The operating budget policies ensure that the City’s annual operating expenditures are consistent with
past expenditures and respond to long-term objectives rather than short-term benefits. The policies allow
the City to maintain stable levels of service, expenditures, and tax levies over time. These policies are
most critical to programs funded with property tax revenue because accommodating large fluctuations in
this revenue source can impose hardship on the citizens.
M. Department Directors will be responsible for administration of their respective Department Budgets and
are to submit requests for any required budget adjustments, such as supplemental appropriations, to the
Finance Director and City Manager before the program incurs cost overruns for the annual budget period.
N. Primary responsibility in the management of budgeted funds lies with the Department Directors. Such
management includes, but is not limited to, reviewing expenditures before authorization, reviewing
monthly financial reports to detect errors and assess progress, and staying within expense or
expenditure budget authorization. All costs incurred must be reasonable and necessary. Department
Directors shall be responsible for contacting the Finance Director or City Manager should there be any
questions regarding financial management or if the issue or concern is related to internal controls. The
Finance Director and City Manager will routinely monitor overall budget operating progress throughout
the year.
O. The City will not use one-time accounting principle changes to balance the budget for any fund.
P. The City will provide ample time and opportunity for public input into its Budget deliberations each year.
Q. Council approval is required for budget changes that involve a transfer of appropriations between
funds or from contingency accounts. The budget changes can be made at any Council meeting.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
R. The modified accrual basis will be used for all of the governmental funds in the budget. Under this
basis, revenues are recognized in the accounting period that they become available and measurable.
Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred, if measurable.
The accrual basis will be used for the budgets of the enterprise funds in the operating budget. Under
this basis, revenues are recognized in the accounting period that they are earned and measurable.
Expenses are recognized in the accounting period that they are incurred, if measurable. The basis of
budgeting is the same as the basis of accounting used in the City’s audited financial statements.
4. The City will establish and maintain the highest standard of accounting practices, in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and with recommended best practices as promulgated by the Government
Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
5. The City will arrange for an annual audit of all funds and account types by independent certified public accountants
qualified and licensed to issue such reports.
6. The City will strive to obtain each year the annual GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.
7. Regular monthly reports will present a summary of financial activity by major type of funds as compared to budget.
Department Directors will review monthly reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to the budgeted
amounts.
8. The City integrates performance measurement and productivity indicators to measure operational performance
where practical. Performance data for individual departments is included in the budget document and/or in the
performance measurement report. Performance data should be directly related to the stated goals and objectives
of the department and focus on results and accomplishments rather than inputs. Performance measures should
provide a meaningful way to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of each department.

Business Assistance Policy
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
Last reviewed by EDA on November 20, 2023.
1. PURPOSE
A. The purpose of this policy is to establish the City of New Hope and the New Hope Economic Development
Authority’s (City/EDA) position as it relates to the use of Tax Increment Financing, Tax Abatement and other
business assistance programs for private development. This policy shall be used as a guide in processing and
reviewing applications requesting business assistance.
B. The City shall have the option of amending or waiving sections of this policy when determined necessary or
appropriate. Minnesota Statutes 116J.994, Subd. 2, allows the City to deviate from its criteria by documenting
in writing the reason for the deviation and attaching a copy of the document to its next annual report to the
department.
2. STATUTORY LIMITATIONS
In accordance with the City/EDA Business Assistance Policy, assistance requests must comply with applicable State
Statutes.
3. ELIGIBLE USES FOR THE RECEIPT OF BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
As a matter of adopted policy, the City/EDA will consider using a business assistance tool to assist private
developments only in those circumstances in which the proposed private projects meet one or more of the following
uses:
A. To meet the following housing related uses:
o To provide a diversity of housing not currently provided by the private market.
o To provide a variety of housing ownership alternatives and housing choices.
o To promote affordable housing for low or moderate income individuals.
o To promote neighborhood stabilization and revitalization by the removal of blight and the
upgrading in existing housing stock in residential areas.
B. To remove blight and encourage redevelopment in the commercial and industrial areas of the City in order
to encourage high levels of property maintenance and private reinvestment in those areas; including façade
improvement.
C. To increase the tax base of the City in order to ensure the long-term ability of the City to provide
adequate services for its residents while lessening the reliance on residential property tax.
D. To retain local jobs, increase the local job base, and provide diversity in that job base.
E. To increase the local business and industrial market potential of the City of New Hope.
F. To encourage additional unsubsidized private development in the area, either directly, or through
secondary "spinoff" development.
G. To offset increased costs of redevelopment, over and above the costs that a developer would incur in normal
development.
H. To accelerate the development process and to achieve development on sites which would not be
developed without this assistance.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
4. BUSINESS ASSISTANCE PROJECT APPROVAL CRITERIA
All new projects approved by the City/EDA should meet the following mandatory minimum approval criteria. However,
it should not be presumed that a project meeting these criteria will automatically be approved. Meeting these crite ria
creates no contractual rights on the part of any potential developer.
o The assistance shall be provided within applicable state legislative restrictions, State Auditor
interpretation, debt limit guidelines, and other appropriate financial requirements and policies.
o The project should meet one or more of the uses identified in Section 3, Eligible Uses for the Receipt
of Business Assistance.
o The project must be in accord with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinances, or required changes to
the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinances which would accommodate the project must be under
active consideration by the City at the time of approval.
o The assistance will not be provided to projects that have the financial feasibility to proceed without the
benefit of the assistance. Assistance will not be provided solely to broaden a developer's profit margins on
a project. Prior to consideration of a business assistance request, the City may undertake an independent
underwriting of the project to help ensure that the request for assistance is consistent as set forth in
Appendix A.
o Prior to approval of business assistance, the developer shall provide any required market and financial
feasibility studies, appraisals, soil boring, information provided to private lenders for the project, and other
information or data that the City or its financial consultants may require in order to proceed with an
independent underwriting.
o Any developer requesting business assistance should be able to demonstrate past successful
general development capability as well as specific capability in the type and size of development
proposed.
o It is desirable if the developer retains ownership of the project at least long enough to complete
construction, to stabilize its occupancy, to establish the project management, and to initiate repayment of
the business assistance.
o The level of business assistance funding should be reduced to the lowest possible level and least amount
of time by maximizing the use of private debt and equity financing first, and then using other funding
sources or income producing vehicles that can be structured into the project financing, prior to using
additional business assistance funding.
5. BUSINESS ASSISTANCE PROJECT EVALUATION CRITERIA
A. All projects will be evaluated by the City/EDA on the following criteria (as set forth in Section 5.03) for
comparison with other proposed business assistance projects reviewed by the City and for comparison with
other subsidy standards (where appropriate). It is realized that changes in local markets, costs of construction,
and interest rates may cause changes in the amounts of business assistance subsidies that a given project
may require at any given time.
B. Some criteria, by their very nature, must remain subjective. However, wherever possible, "benchmark" criteria
have been established for review purposes. The fact that a given proposal meets one or more "benchmark"
criteria does not mean that it is entitled to funding under this policy, but rather that the City is in a position to
proceed with evaluations of (and comparisons between) various business assistance proposals, using
uniform standards whenever possible.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
C. Following are the evaluation criteria that will be used by the City/EDA:
o All proposals should, in the opinion of the City/EDA, optimize the private development potential of a
site.
o All proposals should, in the opinion of the City/EDA, create the highest feasible number of jobs
on the site. All proposals will meet the Business Assistance Project Approval Criteria
established by the City/EDA.
o When considering business assistance for a relocating or new business request, the City/EDA
should weigh the impact on existing competition/businesses which are already established in
the community.
o All proposals should, in the opinion of the City/EDA, create the highest possible ratio of property
taxes paid before and after redevelopment. Given the different assessment circumstances in the
City, this ratio will vary widely.
o Proposals should usually not be used to support speculative industrial, commercial, and office
projects.
o Assistance will usually not be used in a project that involves an excessive land and/or property price.
o All business assistance projects will need to meet the "but for" test. Assistance will not be used
unless the need for the City/EDA’s economic participation is sufficient that, without that assistance
the project could not proceed in the manner as proposed.
o Business assistance will not be used when the developer's credentials, in the sole judgment of the
City/EDA, are inadequate due to past track record relating to: completion of projects, general
reputation and/or bankruptcy, or other problems or issues considered relevant by the City/EDA.
o Business assistance will not normally be used for projects that would generate significant
environmental problems in the opinion of the local, state, or federal governments.
o Business assistance funding should not be provided to those projects that fail to meet good public
policy criteria as determined by the City/EDA, including: poor project quality; projects that are not in
accord with the Comprehensive Plan, zoning, redevelopment plans, and city policies; projects that
provide no significant improvement to surrounding land uses, the neighborhood, and/or the City in
the opinion of City/EDA; projects that do not have significant new, or retained, employment; projects
that do not meet financial feasibility criteria established by the City/EDA; and projects that do not
provide the highest and best desired use for the property.
o Applicants may refer to the following related policies, Tax Increment Financing Policy and Tax
Abatement Policy, and the Forms Section.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Capital Assets Policy
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
Purpose
It is the policy of the City of New Hope to maintain appropriate procedures regarding the procurement, management, and
disposal of all capital assets in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34 (GASB 34).
The Capital Assets Policy addresses classes of assets, determination of useful lives, and calculation of depreciation.
1. DEFINE CAPITAL ASSETS AND CAPITALIZATION THRESHOLDS
Capital assets include land, land improvements, buildings, building improvements, construction in progress, machinery
and equipment, vehicles, infrastructure, easements, works of art and historical treasurers acquired by the City for use in
providing services to its citizens. A capital asset is to be reported and depreciated in government-wide financial statements.
In the government- side financial statements, assets that are not capitalized are expended in the year of acquisition.
Infrastructure assets are long-lived capital assets that can be preserved for a significant number of years, greater than
most capital assets that are stationary in nature. Examples include roads, bridges, tunnels, drainage systems, water and
sewer systems and dams. Infrastructure assets do not include buildings, driveways, parking lots or any examples given
above that are incidental to property or access to the property.
Another criterion for recording capital assets is capital-related debt. Capitalize capital assets purchased with debt
proceeds and depreciate over their estimated useful life. Capitalizing these assets will minimize the potential of reporting
negative net assets in the statement of net assets. In most cases, these assets will meet the thresholds and guidelines
for recording as a capital asset.
For financial reporting purposes only, the City will classify and establish capitalization thresholds for each asset class as
follows:
CAPITAL ASSET CLASSIFICATION CAPITALIZATION THRESHOLD
Land and land improvements; $1
Land Improvements; $10,000
Other improvements; $10,000
Building and building improvements; $15,000
Machinery and equipment; $5,000
Vehicles; $5,000
Infrastructure; $50,000
Construction-in-progress; Accumulate all costs and capitalize if over $25,000 when complete.
Other assets; $5,000
All information in regards to the City asset acquisition, retention, and disposal is maintained and reported to the finance
department.
2. REPORTING CAPITAL ASSETS
Report capital assets at historical costs, which includes most costs necessary to placing a capital asset into its intended
use or state of operation. Historical cost includes the vendor’s invoice, the value of any trade-in or allowance, sales tax,
initial installation cost (excluding in-house labor), modifications, attachments, accessories or apparatus; and ancillary
charges such as freight and transportation charges, site preparation costs, and professional fees.
In the event the historical cost of a capital asset is not determinable, it will be necessary to record an estimated historical
cost of the asset using alternative methods. Alternative methods include standard costing and normal costing. Standard
costing estimates the historical cost of a capital asset by establishing the average cost of obtaining the same or a similar
asset at the time of acquisition.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Normal costing estimates historical cost based on the current cost to either reproduce or replace the capital asset, indexed
by a reciprocal factor from the estimated acquisition date, i.e., taking the value of acquiring the asset new today and then
discounting that amount by an appropriate inflation factor back to the date of acquisition.
Capital assets donated to the City shall be reported at fair value. Fair value is the amount at which an asset could be
exchanged in a current transfer at arm’s length between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Donations
are defined as voluntary contributions of resources to the City by a non-governmental entity. A voluntary contribution of
resources between governmental entities is not a donation.
3. DEPRECIATION CAPITAL ASSETS
Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of a tangible asset to the periods of benefit. Capital assets shall be
depreciated over their estimated useful live with exception of the following:
A. Inexhaustible assets, i.e., land, and land improvements that do not require maintenance or replacement, e.g.,
certain works of art and historical treasures;
B. Infrastructure assets reported using the modified approach; and
C. Construction work-in-progress.
For financial purposes the City will use the straight-line method of depreciation, which allocates the cost evenly over
the life of the asset. Generally, at the end of an asset’s life, the sum of the amounts charged for depreciation in each
accounting period, or accumulated depreciation, will equal the original cost less salvage value.
A significant issue when recording capital assets is the question of when is an expenditure capitalized as an
improvement versus recorded as repairs or maintenance expense. The key consideration for determining whether to
capitalize expenditures depends on whether the cost incurred, significantly extends the asset’s useful life, increases
its capacity, or improves its efficiency. Therefore, capitalize capital asset improvement costs if:
A. The costs exceeds the capitalization thresholds; and
B. One of the following criteria is met:
o The value of the asset or estimated life is increased by 25% of the original cost or life period;
o The cost results in an increase in capacity of the asset; or
o The efficiency of the asset is increased by more than 10%;
4. CAPITAL ASSET DEFINITIONS AND CATEGORIES
Land - is to be capitalized but not depreciated. It is recorded at historical cost and remains at that cost until disposal.
If there is a gain or loss on the sale of land it is reported as a special item in the statement of activities.
Land Improvements - consist of betterments, site preparation, and site improvements (other than buildings) that ready
land for its intended use. The costs associated with improvements to land are added to the cost of the land. Land
improvements can be further categorized as inexhaustible, not requiring maintenance or replacement; or exhaustible,
e.g., parking lots, landscaping and fencing.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Examples of items to be capitalized as land and land improvements include:
A. Purchase price or fair value;
B. Commissions;
C. Professional fees, includes title searches, architect, legal, engineering, appraisal, surveying, environmental

walls, and is not intended to be transportable or moveable. Certain buildings or structures that are an ancillary parts of
infrastructure networks, such as well houses and pumping stations will be reported as infrastructure rather than as
buildings.

C. Expenses incurred for the preparation of plans, specifications, blueprints;
D. Building permits;
E. Costs of temporary buildings used during construction;
F. Additions to buildings, i.e., expansions, extensions, or enlargements;
Building Improvements - include capitalized costs that materially extend the useful life of a building or increase the
value of a building, or both, beyond one year. Building improvements should not include maintenance and repairs done
in the normal course of business.
Examples of items to be capitalized as building improvements include:
A. Installation or upgrade of heating and cooling systems, including ceiling fans and attic fans;
B. Original installation or upgrade of wall or ceiling covering such as carpeting, tiles, paneling, or parquet;
C. Structural changes such as reinforcement of floors or walls, installation or replacement of beams, rafters,
joists, steel grids, or other interior framing;
D. Installation or upgrade of window or door-frames, upgrading windows or doors, built-in closet and cabinets;
E. Interior renovation of casings, baseboards, light fixtures, ceiling trim;
F. Installation or upgrade of plumbing and electrical wiring; and
G. Installation or upgrade of telecommunication system
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Example of items considered repairs or maintenance in nature and should not be capitalized as buildings or building
improvements include:
A. Adding, removing and/or moving of walls relating to renovation projects that are not considered major
rehabilitation projects and do not increase the value of the building;
B. Improvement projects of minimal or no added life expectancy and/or value to the building;
C. Plumbing or electrical repairs;

H. Replacement of a part or component of a building with a new part of the same type and performance
capabilities, e.g., replacement of an old boiler with a new one of the same type and performance capabilities;
I. Any other maintenance-related expenditure, which does not increase the value of the building;
Equipment, Machinery, and Vehicles - refer to fixed or movable tangible assets used for operations, the benefits of
which extend beyond one year from date of receipt.
Examples of expenditures to be capitalized as equipment, machinery, and vehicles include:
A. Original contract or invoice price;
B. Freight charges;
C. Handling and storage charges;
D. In-transit insurance charges;
E. Sales, use and other taxes imposed on the acquisition;
F. Installation charges;
G. Charges for testing and preparation for use;
H. Cost of reconditioning used items when purchased; and
I. Parts and labor associated with the construction of equipment, machinery, or vehicle;
Note that the cost of extended warranties and/or maintenance agreements, which can be separately identified from
the cost of the equipment, machinery, or vehicle shall not be capitalized.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Infrastructure Assets – are long-lived capital assets that are linear and stationary in nature and can be preserved for
a significantly greater number of years than most capital assets.
Examples of infrastructure assets include:
A. Roads, streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks;
B. Bridges;
C. Water and sanitary sewer systems;
D. Drainage and storm water systems;
E. Street light systems; and
F. Signage;
Infrastructure assets shall be capitalized and depreciated unless the modified approach is used. The modified
approach is an alternative to reporting depreciation for infrastructure assets that meet the following criteria:
A. The assets are managed using a qualifying asset management system; and
B. It is documented that the assets are being preserved at or above a condition level established by the City.
Under the modified approach the infrastructure, assets are not depreciated, and only the costs that increase the
capacity or efficiency of the asset are capitalized, while all other expenditures that preserve the useful life of the
assets are expensed. Only infrastructure assets that comprise a network or subsystem of a network can be
reported using the modified approach.
Other Capital Assets - includes computer software that is either purchased or developed for internal use, which should
be capitalized, if the cost of the software exceeds the capitalization threshold and depreciated over the software’s
estimated useful life. Capitalization of computer software includes software license fees if the total dollar amount of
the fee divided by the number of units or terminals exceeds the threshold.
Examples of expenditures to be capitalized as computer software include:
A. External direct costs of materials and services, i.e., third-party fees for services;
B. Costs to obtain software from third parties;
C. Travel costs incurred by employees in their duties directly associated with development;
D. Payroll and payroll-related costs of employees directly associated with or devoting time to encoding,
installing, or testing; and
E. Costs to develop or obtain software that allows for access or conversion of old data by new information
systems;
Note that upgrades and enhancements should only be capitalized to the extent that they increase the functionality of
the product.
Leased Property - Any transaction meeting the definition of long-term leased property as defined by GASB
standards, would be recorded as a lease payable and will be measured at the present value of the payments under
the provisions of the lease. The asset would equal the lease liability plus any prepayments and certain initial direct
costs. An exception is made for a short-term lease arrangement.
In the governmental funds, which report on a modified accrual basis, capital assets and long-term liabilities are not
reported. Rather, when a lease is entered into the government reports an expenditure equal to that present value
amount and another financing source – capital lease agreement.

Capital Improvement Program Policy
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
The City will develop a multi-year plan for capital improvements and capital equipment replacement and update it
annually. Capital improvements and equipment replacement for the upcoming year will be incorporated into the operating
budget.
The City will identify the estimated cost and potential funding sources for each capital project or equipment purchase
before the proposal is submitted to the Council for approval and in that process will determine the most effective
financing method for the proposed project or equipment purchase.
The City will make all capital improvements or equipment purchases in accordance with the adopted capital
improvement program, or as it is amended by the Council. Capital purchases, not otherwise funded through an approved
budget, shall require City Council approval.
The City will enact each five-year capital improvement program based on a rolling multi-year capital improvement plan
update.
The City will coordinate development of the capital improvement and equipment replacement budget with the
development of the operating budget. Future operating costs associated with new capital improvements or capital
equipment will be projected and included in operating budget forecasts.
The City will use inter-governmental assistance to finance only those capital improvements or equipment purchases that
are consistent with the capital improvement plan and City priorities, and whose operating and maintenance costs have been
included in operating budget forecasts.
The City will maintain all its assets at a level adequate to protect the City’s and its citizens’ capital investment and to
minimize future maintenance and replacement costs.

Conduit Debt Policy
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
General
Under the Minnesota Municipal Industrial development Act, Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.152 to 469.1655 (the
“Industrial Development Act”), the City of New Hope , Minnesota has authority to issue revenue bonds or notes to attract or
promote economically sound industry and commerce to the City, including the development of facilities by qualified
501(c)(3) organizations.
Under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C (the “Housing Act”) the City is authorized to issue housing revenue bonds to
finance multi- family residential housing projects for low and moderate income persona and elderly persons.
The City Council is aware that such financing for certain private activities may be of benefit to the City and will consider
requests for tax exempt financing subject to these Guidelines. The City Council considers tax exempt financing to be a
privilege, not a right.
It is the judgment of the City Council that tax exempt financing is to be used on a selective basis to encourage certain
development that offers a benefit to the City as a whole, including employment and housing opportunities. It is the
applicant’s responsibility to demonstrate the benefit to the City. The applicant should understand that although approval
may have been granted by the City for the issuance of financing for a similar project or a similar debt structure that is not a
basis upon which approval will be granted. Each application will be judged on the merits of the project as it relates to the
public purposes of the Housing Act or the Industrial Development Act and the benefit to the City at the time the request for
financing is being considered.
Policy
1. The City Council will consider tax exempt financing for manufacturing and health care facilities, and other facilities
operated by qualified 501(c)(3) organizations, under the Industrial Development Act; and housing projects under the
Housing Act. An applicant for tax-exempt financing pursuant to the Industrial Development Act must submit to the
City the application on the form prescribed by the City Clerk.
2. The project must be a positive benefit to the City. The project must be of a nature that the City wishes to attract, or an
existing business which the City wishes to retain or expand within the City, considering employment opportunities,
incentive for further development, impact on City services, and support for the industrial, commercial or health care
operations currently located in the City. A housing project must provide significant housing opportunities for low and
moderate income persons or the elderly.
3. City staff, upon request, may grant an applicant a pre-application review. The purpose of the pre-application review is
to inform applicants of the possibility of rejection or the possible basis for such a rejection. The fact that the project is
not rejected at the pre-application stage is not to be construed as approval of the project or as an indication that the
project will be approved upon formal request to the Council. Requests for tax-exempt financing may be rejected by
the City whether or not the project was submitted to a pre-application review and regardless of the outcome or
recommendation of that pre-application review.
A request for pre-application review must be in writing, addressed to the City Manager, and set forth the name of the
project, the type of project intended and the name, address and telephone number of the person who will be
representing the applicant at the pre-application review, together with such additional information as the applicant
desires to submit.
The City will appoint bond counsel for the bond issue, which will normally be the City’s regularly retained bond counsel.
4. Pursuant to the Industrial Development Act and the Housing Act, consideration of an application for tax exempt
financing must be done at a public hearing held by the Council.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
5. The City is to be reimbursed and held harmless for and from any out-of-pocket expenses related to the tax-exempt
financing including, but not limited to, legal fees, financial advisor fees, and bond counsel fees, the City’s expenses
in connection with the application, and any deposits or application fees required under state law in order to secure
allocation of bonding authority. A non-refundable application fee in the amount of $750 must be included with the
submission of the application, and a $5,000 refundable fee to be applied to the expenses of the City, the unspent
portion of the refundable fee will be refunded to the applicant when the City is satisfied that all such expenses have
been paid.
Projects within City limits - 0.5% of bond issue amount
Prior to closing and delivery of the bonds for the project, the applicant must pay to the City, or commit to pay, as the
case may be, a one-time administrative fee equal to 0.5% of bond issue amount for any project commencing within
City limits.
Projects outside of City limits - 1.0% of bond issue amount
Revenue bonds issued for projects outside of the City limits shall be charged a one-time administrative fee equal to
1.0% of the bond issue amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the administrative fees required by
this paragraph will be reduced to the extent needed to ensure that the fee does not affect the tax-exempt status of the
bonds under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, amended and related regulations.
6. Should the tax exempt financing request cause the City’s total bonding for the year to exceed $10,000,000 in a year
that the City would otherwise be eligible to issue bank qualified bonds, (bonds with tax incentives to banks), any
interest rate differential between bank qualified and non-bank qualified bonds shall be estimated and the difference
paid by the borrower. If the City would have exceeded this amount without the tax-exempt issue, no differential
would be calculated or paid by the borrower.
7. Applications for financing must be made on the forms attached to these Guidelines. In addition, the applicant must
furnish a description of the project, together with a brief description of applicant and the proposed financing in such
form as required at the time of application. The City will not review financial statements, nor form any opinions as to
the financial success of the proposed business plan.
8. The City may, in its sole discretion, withdraw its preliminary approval of a project any time if in its judgment the
purposes of the Act will not be served by going forward with the project and its financing.
Miscellaneous
1. Ratings. The City will give its most favorable consideration to proposed tax-exempt bond issues that have the rating
of “A” or better by Moody’s Investment Service, Standard & Poor’s Corporation, Fitch Ratings or Kroll Ratings. Issues
carrying lower ratings or non-rated issues may be sold only to institutional or other investors on a private placement
basis and must be in denominations of at least $100,000. A lower denomination, but not less than $25,000, may be
allowed if specifically authorized by the City Council in cases where the bonds are rated above investment grade and
the bonds are sold only to institutional or accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act of 1933. The City
Council may depart from this guideline when, in its judgment, the project is of a level of merit and public purpose to
justify the departure; and in the case of such a departure, the City Council must state its reasons therefore in the
resolution awarding the sale of bonds.
2. Refundings. The City Council will normally approve the refunding of a tax-exempt issue but only upon a showing by
the applicant of (i) substantial debt service savings, (ii) the removal of bond covenants significantly impairing the
financial feasibility of the project, or (iii) both (i) and (ii). In the case of refunding of bonds a one-time administrative
fee of .025% of the bond issue amount and the non-refundable application fee of $2,500 must be paid together with
reimbursing the City of all out of pocket costs. If the original financing was not completed with the City of New
Hope, a fee of 0.50% of the bond issue amount shall be charged for the refunding. Such fees must be paid in full
prior to closing the refunding bonds.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
3. Subsequent Proceedings. Where changes to the underlying documents or credit facilities of outstanding bond issues
are to be made and require Council action (including changes that are a “deemed reissuance” under Internal Revenue
Service regulation), no administrative fee is charged but a non-refundable fee of $2,000 must be deposited with the
City to cover administrative costs. No formal application form is required.
4. Issue by Another Political Subdivision. The City may consider requests for tax-exempt financing of projects in the
City by other political subdivisions in cases where the project is done in conjunction with other communities, the
financing needed for the New Hope portion is small as compared to the total multi-jurisdictional project and the
financed portion located within the City of New Hope is not more than $5,000,000 or where the development
provides community services to the vicinity including New Hope. In these cases the non-refundable application fee
must be paid and all procedures through the approval of the preliminary resolution followed.
5. City Contact. Initial contacts about tax exempt financing are made by contacting:
City of New Hope
City Manager
4401 Xylon Avenue
New Hope, MN 55428
(763) 531-5100
6. Deadlines. The City Council conducts all tax-exempt financing matters at regularly scheduled City Council meetings
held on selected Mondays of each month. Documents for City Council consideration must be at the City office no
later than 10 calendar days prior to the next City Council meeting at which the matter is to be considered. In the case
of a publicly offered bond issue, the documents, when submitted, may specify a maximum price and maximum
effective interest rate if prices and rates have not yet been established.

organizations cooperate to provide social and recreational activities to area residents.
Policy
The City shall make small donations to community non-profits and other civic organizations to support their

City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Fund Balance Policy
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish specific guidelines the City of New Hope (the City) will use to maintain an
adequate level of fund balance to provide for cash flow requirements and contingency needs because major
revenues, including property taxes and other government aids are received in the second half of the City’s fiscal
year. This policy also establishes specific guidelines the City will use to classify fund balances into categories
based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which
amounts in these funds can be spent. The elements of the policy are created by the City for its own purposes and
may, therefore, be revised by the City as needed in the future.
2. CLASSIFICATION OF FUND BALANCE/PROCEDURES
A. Nonspendable
This category includes fund balance that cannot be spent because it is either (i) not in spendable form
or (ii) is legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Examples include inventories and
prepaid amounts.
B. Restricted
Fund balance should be reported as restricted when constraints placed on those resources are either (i)
externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or (ii)
imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
C. Committed
o Fund balance that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by
formal action of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority. The committed amounts
cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City removes or changes the specified use by
taking the same type of action it employed to commit those amounts.
o The City Council will as deemed necessary commit specific revenue sources for specified
purposes by resolution. This formal action must occur prior to the end of the reporting period,
however, the amount to be subject to the constraint, may be determined in the subsequent period.
o To remove the constraint on specified use of committed resources the City Council shall pass a
resolution
D. Assigned
o Amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to use for specified purposes, but are neither
restricted nor committed. Assigned fund balance in the General fund includes amounts that are
intended to be used for specific purposes.
o The City Council has delegated the authority to assign and remove assignments of fund
balance amounts for specified purposes to the Finance Director.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
E. Unassigned
o Unassigned fund balance represents the residual classification for the General fund. This includes
amounts that have not been assigned to other funds and that have not been restricted, committed,
or assigned to specific purposes within the General fund. The General fund should be the only fund
that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount.
o The City will maintain an unassigned fund balance in the General fund of an amount not less than
42% of the next year’s budgeted expenditures of the General fund. This will assist in maintaining an
adequate level of fund balance to provide for cash flow requirements and contingency needs
because major revenues, including property taxes and other government aids are received in the
second half of the City’s fiscal year.
3. MONITORING AND REPORTING
A. The Finance Director shall monitor the status of fund balances in relation to this policy and present to the
City Council. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to
first use restricted resources, and then use unrestricted resources as they are needed.
B. When committed, assigned or unassigned resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use
resources in the following order; 1) committed 2) assigned and 3) unassigned.
C. A negative residual amount may not be reported for restricted, committed, or assigned fund balances in the
General fund.
4. GENERAL FUND UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE
Each year a calculation of the General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance will be prepared to determine if there are
adequate funds to transfer out of the General Fund for capital needs. The City Manager will review this calculation
and make a recommendation.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Interfund Loan Policy
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
Purpose
The interfund loan policy provides the parameters by which the City may alleviate cash shortages in the various City funds
with temporary loans from other funds. Interfund loans are intended to be a temporary internal financing mechanism
which may be used to alleviate the need for debt issuance on a project that requires only short-term financing and/or to
provide temporary internal financing on a project for which permanent financing will take place at a later date.
Policy
It is the policy of the City Council that interfund loans between the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service
Funds, Capital Projects Funds or the Enterprise Funds may be used to alleviate a temporary cash deficiency. The loan shall
be accounted for as a temporary borrowing between funds or accounts and shall not be available for appropriation or be
considered revenue to the borrowing fund or account. Amounts transferred shall be repaid within 180 calendar days or as
approved by Council resolution. Borrowing shall occur only when the fund or account receiving the money will earn
sufficient revenue during the current fiscal year, to repay the amount transferred. No more than 75 percent of the maximum
of moneys held in any fund or account during a current fiscal year may be loaned or transferred.
Such loans shall not be used to balance the budget of the borrowing fund, nor shall they deter any function or project for
which the loaning fund was established.
The City Council must adopt a resolution before any interfund loan transaction takes place. The resolution shall contain the
exact amount of the loan, the funds involved, the purpose of the loan, the specific source of funds for repayment, the
schedule for repayment and any interest rate involved.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Investment Policy
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
1. Investment Policy Statement of Purpose
This policy has been developed to serve as a reference point for the management of City assets. It is the policy of the
City to invest public funds in a prudent manner which provides for the following in order of importance: Safety;
Liquidity; and Yield (return on investment) that conforms to all federal, state and local regulations governing the
investment of public funds. All investments purchased by the City are expected to be held until maturity. The City will
invest in securities that match the City’s operational, short-term and longer term core reserve needs.
2. Scope
This Investment Policy applies to all financial assets of the City. All cash and investments are pooled together to
achieve economies of scale for each entity. These funds are accounted for in the Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report and include all City and Economic Development Authority funds:
A. General Fund
B. Special Revenue Funds
C. Capital Project Funds
D. Debt Service Funds
E. Enterprise Funds
F. Internal Service Funds
G. Trust and Agency Funds
3. Prudence
Investments shall be made with judgment and care under circumstances existing at the time the investment is made.
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the “prudent person” standard and shall be
applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. The prudent person standard requires that a fiduciary exercise
discretion and average intelligence in making investments that would be generally acceptable as sound. Investment
officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be
relieved of personal liability for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from
expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse situations. Investment
procedures developed for the Finance Department must be complied with by those with access to and management
responsibilities for City investments.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
4. Objective
The primary objective of the City of New Hope’s investment activities shall be:
A. Safety - Safety of principal is of critical importance to the investment program. Investments of the City shall
be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of principal in the overall portfolio.
The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.
o Credit Risk - the risk of loss due to failure of the security issuer or backer will be minimized by:
• Limiting investments to the types of securities listed in Section 8 of this investment policy.
• Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and advisors with
which the City will do business in accordance with Section 7.
• Diversifying the investment portfolio so that the impact of potential losses from any one
type of security or from any one individual issuer will be minimized. Insurance or
collateral may be required to ensure return of principal.
o Interest Rate Risk – the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to
changes in market interest rates will be minimized to:
• Provide for liquidity by reviewing cash flow requirements and make investments to meet the
shorter cash flow needs, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities in the open market prior
to maturity.
Total weighted average maturity of total funds will not exceed 5 years.
B. Liquidity - The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all
operating requirements as reasonably anticipated. The portfolio will be structured so that the liquid
component, , of the portfolio will be invested only in short-term securities maturing in less than thirty days.
Additionally, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of
securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). Furthermore, a portion of the portfolio
may be placed in money market mutual funds or local government investment pools which offer same day
liquidity for short- term funds.
C. Yield/Return on Investment - The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of
attaining a market rate of return. The core of investments is limited to low-risk securities in anticipation of
earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall generally be held until maturity with
the following exceptions:
o A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal.
o A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio.
o Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.
5. Delegation of Authority
The investment program shall be operated in conformance with federal, state, and other legal requirements.
Authority to manage the City’s investment program is derived from the following:
A. Minnesota Statutes 118A, Municipal Funds
Management responsibility for the investment program is hereby delegated to the City Manager, who shall

C. Analyze, recommend and implement policy and operational procedures that will enhance the
City's investment program;

Procedures should include reference to: safekeeping, delivery versus payment (DVP), and investment
accounting. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for
investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the
terms of this Policy and the procedures established by the Finance Director. The Finance Director shall be
responsible for all investment transactions and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of
subordinates. The City Manager is responsible for oversight and authorization of investment transactions.
6. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
The City Manager, Finance Director, EDA and Finance staff involved in the investment process shall refrain from
conducting personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which
could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Investment staff shall annually disclose to the City
Clerk any material financial interests as required by state statute on an annual Statement of Economic Interest form.
Investment staff shall subordinate their personal investment transactions to those of the City, particularly with regard
to the time of purchases and sales, and shall refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the
same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.
7. Financial Service Providers:
The Finance Director will maintain a list of financial institutions authorized to provide investment services. Public
deposit shall be made in a qualified public depository as established by state laws. The purchase of all investments
must be from qualified financial service providers via established bid procedures.

City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
8. Authorized and Suitable Investments
Based on the investment objectives as defined in section 4 of this policy, the City will limit its investments to the
following types of securities:
A. Money Market Funds may be held with next day withdrawal capacity to provide for daily liquidity
requirements. These money markets must be AA. They may only invest in securities with a final maturity no
longer than 13 months and for which the City has obtained and reviewed the fund prospectus.
B. Savings/demand deposits. A financial institution that is qualified as a “depository” of public funds of
government entities. The City may hold balances in qualified bank deposits. Funds may be held in savings
accounts at approved depository banks. If balances are greater than the FDIC limit, collateral of 110
percent will be held for the excess balances. Non-interesting bearing deposits will be held at a minimum.
However, the interest bearing demand deposit programs that banks provide for next day access to funds will
be utilized.
C. Bankers acceptances purchased on the secondary market rated with the highest short-term credit rating of
any two Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs), at the time of purchase. Maximum
maturity will be 270 days. If the banker’s acceptance is rated by more than two NRSROs, it must have the
highest rating from all the organizations.
D. Commercial paper. Short term unsecured debt which has been issued by a United States corporation or
their Canadian subsidiaries and is not a limited liability corporation (LLC) to fund their day to day
operational needs. Maturities typically range from one day to 270 days. The City may only buy paper that
meets the Minnesota Statute 118A with the exception that no Asset Backed or Structured Investment
Vehicle (SIV) Commercial Paper are allowed. Only commercial paper with two of the three highest quality
ratings of A1, P1, F1.
E. U.S. Treasury obligations including bonds, notes, Treasury bills, or other securities which are direct
obligations of the United States. Instruments sold and issued by the U.S. Government carry the full
faith guarantee of the U.S. Government. These instruments provide the highest quality available to
purchase and are highly liquid.
F. U.S. Agency securities GSE’s (Government Sponsored Enterprises) are instrumentalities, or
organizations created by an act of Congress. Government Sponsored Enterprise securities have the
implied guarantee of the United States Government and are privileged to certain access to capital and
support of government programs. The issuers are generally considered to have the second highest
credit quality in the fixed income markets and provide higher yields than U. S. treasury obligations.
The ratings on all the agencies that the City can invest are the highest available and include the
following specific issuers:
o FHLB: The Federal Home Loan Bank System (FHLB) was created by Congress in 1932 and acts as a
source of funds for its nearly 8,000 member banks. FHLB does not purchase home mortgages to
the same extent as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, but primarily lends money to homeowners through
its member financial institutions. FHLB System members include commercial banks, thrifts, credit
unions and insurance companies. Each member is a shareholder in one of the 12 regional Federal
Home Loan Banks; each regional bank is an individual corporate entity, which must meet strict
management and capitalization criteria befitting its GSE status. The FHLB System is regulated by
the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB) and the Office of Finance (OF).
o FHLMC: The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation encompasses Freddie Mac; it is a housing
GSE created by Congress in 1970 to provide liquidity and stability in the home mortgage market,
thereby increasing the flow of funds available to mortgage borrowers. In order to accomplish this
goal, Freddie Mac does not make individual mortgage loans to consumers. Rather, Freddie Mac
purchases mortgages from lenders, thereby allowing them to lend the proceeds to more
homebuyers. Freddie Mac is regulated by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
and by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO).
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
o FFCB: The Federal Farm Credit Bureau is an agency of the Federal government set up to
supply credit to various classes of institutions and individuals such as farmers and farm
cooperatives.
o FNMA: Federal National Mortgage Association chartered under the Federal National Mortgage
Association Act in 1938. FNMA is a federal corporation working under the auspices of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It is the largest single provider of residential
mortgage funds in the United States. Fannie Mae, as the corporation is called, is a private
stockholder-owned corporation. The corporation’s purchases include a variety of adjustable
mortgages and second loans, in addition to fixed- rate mortgages. FNMA’s securities are also highly
liquid and are widely accepted. FNMA assumes and guarantees that all security holders will receive
timely payment of principal.
o Other issuers: There are other GSE issuers, however, they issue fewer securities and are less
active in the marketplace. Therefore, yields typically are slightly higher but they provide less
liquidity. The City may purchase other GSE names but will limit the amount held in the
portfolio.
G. Municipal Securities are registered securities of state/county/local and other governmental agencies.
Bonds of the state/county/local and other governmental agencies which have at the time of investment
one of the three highest credit ratings of nationally recognized rating agency are allowable investments.
They must have a taxing power rating of A, AA or AAA. The City will typically buy only AA or better to
provide for quality investments in the portfolio. Any security which is a general obligation of any state or
local government with taxing powers which is rated “A” or better by a national bond rating service is
allowed. Any security which is a revenue obligation of any state or local government which is rates AA” or
better by a national bond rating service. Tax exempt or taxable bonds qualify as long as they meet the
rating standards.
H. Repurchase agreements consisting of collateral allowable in Minnesota Statute, section 118A,
and reverse repurchase agreements may be entered into with any of the following entities:
o A financial institution qualified as a “depository” of public funds of the government entity;
o any other financial institution which is a member of the Federal Reserve System and whose
combined capital and surplus equals or exceeds $10,000,000;
o a primary reporting dealer in United States government securities to the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York; or
o a securities broker-dealer licensed pursuant to chapter 80A, or an affiliate of it, regulated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and maintaining a combined capital and surplus of
o $40,000,000 or more, exclusive of subordinated debt. Reverse agreements may only be entered
into for a period of 90 days or less and only to meet short-term cash flow needs. In no event may
reverse repurchase agreements be entered into for the purpose of generating cash for
investments, except as stated in Minnesota Statute, section 118A.
I. Guaranteed investment contracts. Specific project monies may be invested in agreements or contracts
for guaranteed investment contracts may be entered into if they are issued or guaranteed by United
States commercial banks, domestic branches of foreign banks, United States insurance companies, or
their Canadian subsidiaries, or the domestic affiliates of any of the foregoing. The credit quality of the
issuer’s or guarantors short and long-term unsecured debt must be rated in one of the two highest
categories by a nationally recognized rating agency. Should the issuer’s or guarantor’s credit quality be
downgraded below “A”, the government entity must have withdrawal rights.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
J. Each type of security listed above in Sections E, F and G may have various structures such as non-
callable, callable and variable rate debt.
o Non Callable – A debt instrument issued for the purpose of raising capital by borrowing. They
typically pay semi-annual coupons and have a stated final maturity.
o Callable – Debt in which the issuer has the right to redeem prior to its maturity date, under
certain conditions.
o Variable – Debt in which the issuer has the right to reset the coupon rate based on
specified market conditions and terms.
9. Securities Lending Agreements
Securities lending agreements, including custody agreements, may be entered into with a financial institution
meeting the qualifications of Minnesota Statute 118A and further restricted within this investment policy. Securities
lending transactions may be entered into with entities meeting the qualifications and the collateral for such
transactions shall be restricted to the securities described in Minnesota Statute 118A. Any future security lending
contract would be subject to City Council approval.
10. Prohibited Investments and Transactions
Prohibited investments include high-risk mortgage-backed securities. These are:
A. Interest-only or principal-only mortgage-backed securities; and
B. Any mortgage derivative security that:
a. Has an expected average life greater than ten years;

i. Will extend by more than four years as a result of an immediate and sustained parallel shift in
the yield curve of plus 300 basis points; or
ii. Will shorten by more than six years as the result of an immediate and sustained parallel shift
in the yield curve of minus 300 basis points; or
c. Will have an estimated change in price of more than 17 percent as the result of an immediate and
sustained parallel shift in the yield curve of plus or minus 300 basis points.
11. Collateralizations
Collateralization will be required on the following types of investments:
A. Certificates of Deposit
B. Demand Deposits
C. Repurchase Agreements (for investments held beyond seven days)
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be
110% of market value of principal and accrued interest. The underlying securities will be subject to periodic (monthly)
market valuations to ensure there is no market exposure.
A. Collateral is limited to the following U. S. government securities:
o Treasury Issues
o Treasury Bills
o Treasury Notes
o Treasury Bonds
o Agency Notes and Bonds
o Federal National Mortgage Association
o Federal Home Loan Bank
o Federal Farm Credit Bank
o Federal Home Loan Mortgage
For cash deposits on hand, clearly marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied and
retained. Collateralization shall be in the form of specific securities with an active secondary market for the
City held by an independent third party. The only exceptions are Federal Depository Insurance Corporation
(FDIC), Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and pre- approved insurance coverage. The City may
collateralize its repurchase agreements using longer- dated investments not to exceed 5 years to maturity.
B. Safekeeping and Custody
Securities purchased may be held in a segregated account for the City’s benefit at a third party trustee as
safekeeping agent. The investment dealer or bank in which the security is purchased shall issue a
confirmation ticket to the City listing the specific instrument, issuer, coupon, maturity, CUSIP number,
purchase or sale price, transaction date, and other pertinent information. The financial service provider which
executes the transaction on the City’s behalf shall deliver all securities on a delivery versus payment method
(DVP) to the designated third party. Delivery versus payment (DVP) is a way of controlling the risk to which
securities market participants are exposed. Delivery of securities (i.e. the change in their ownership) is done
simultaneously with payment. This means that neither the buyer nor the seller is exposed to the risk that the
other will default.
Investments, contracts, and agreements may be held in safekeeping with:
o any Federal Reserve bank;
o any bank authorized under the laws of the United States or any state to exercise corporate trust
powers, including, but not limited to, the bank from which the investment is purchased.
The City’s ownership of all securities should be evidenced by written acknowledgments identifying the
securities by:
o The names of issuers
o The maturity dates
o The interest rates
o Any serial numbers or other distinguishing marks.
Securities will be held in the City’s designated accounts under their street names.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
C. Investment Credit Rating Degradation
Credit updates should be completed on all non-insured general obligation (GO’s), bankers’ acceptances and
commercial paper with a credit rating that has declined. Credit analysis is necessary to determine if a
particular investment is eligible for the City to own as part of prudent portfolio management. As determined
on any date that the security is held within the portfolio. If the credit rating of a security is subsequently
downgraded below the minimum rating level for a new investment of that security, the City shall evaluate
the downgrade on a case-by-case basis in order to determine if the security should be held or sold. The City
will apply the general objectives of safety liquidity and yield to make the decision.
D. Diversification:
The City will substantially reduce the risk of loss resulting from the over-concentration of assets in a specific
maturity, issuer, institution, or class of securities.
Diversification strategies will be implemented with the following constraints:
ISSUER TYPE % OF TOTAL PORTFOLIO
Certificates of Deposit 100%
Money Market Funds 25%
Savings/Demand Deposits 10%
Bankers Acceptance 10%
Commercial Paper 20%
US Treasury Obligations 100%
GSE – Agency Securities 100%
Municipal Securities: With Component Unites Repurchase
Agreements
40%
Guaranteed Investment Contracts 10% by Project
Due to fluctuations in the value of the portfolio, maximum percentages for a particular issuer or investment
type may be exceeded at a point in time subsequent to the purchase or maturity of a particular security.
Securities need not be liquidated to realign the portfolio; however, attention should be given to this matter
when future purchases are made.
Market conditions may precipitate the need to deviate from the maximum percentages outlined in this
policy. The Finance Director and City Manager may elect to purchase securities in excess of the maximum
percentage to obtain preferable portfolio yields at a point in time. Attention should be given to this matter
when future purchases are made.
E. Maximum Maturities Fund Specific:
o A minimum of five percent of the portfolio will mature under 30 days,
o Total funds will be invested to a maximum maturity of ten years,
o Maturities will be diversified to avoid undue concentration of assets in a specific sector.
o Exception to maximum maturity is in reserve funds (per bond indentures), which may be
invested to a maturity date that coincides as nearly as practicable with the expected use of
the funds.
o Should interest rates rise to a level of four percent on the ten-year Treasury, with written approval of
the City Manager, the Finance Director will have the authority of extending a maximum of 20
percent of the City Portfolio between five and ten-year maturities.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
F. Internal Control
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to
ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure shall
be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2)
the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments. The internal controls are addressed in
the procedures manual.
The City will engage an external auditor for an annual independent review to assure compliance with
policies and procedures.
G. Performance Standards
The investment portfolio will be designed to obtain a market average rate of return during budgetary and
economic cycles, taking into account the City’s investment risk constraints and cash flow needs. The City will
have at least 98%of its cash funds earning interest or on deposit to reduce bank fees. The investment
portfolio will be structured to meet specific criteria addressing safety, liquidity and yield. The City’s reporting
system will provide information concerning cash position, investment performance, and percentage of the
portfolio that is invested by security issuers and maturity structure.
12. Market Yield/Benchmark
The City’s investment strategy is conservative. The City, based on appropriate current indexes and yields reported by
similar entities with similar restrictions on investments, will review whether market yields are being achieved.
13. Responsibilities of External Investment Managers
The City may enter into contracts with third-party investment advisory firms when their services are deemed to be
beneficial to the City. The advisor must comply with this Investment Policy and may have authority to transact
investments on behalf of the City.
14. Reporting
The Finance Director is charged with the responsibility of preparing a periodic investment report, including a
management summary that provides an analysis of the status of the current investment portfolio and the individual
transactions executed over the last period in the City’s Financial Reports. Reports will include listing of individual
securities held at the end of the reporting period, name of broker agent, listing of investments by maturity date, yield,
percentage of the total portfolio which each type of investment represents, gains or losses mark to market of all
securities and other information as requested by the City.

Post-Issuance Tax Compliance Procedures For Tax-Exempt Bonds
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
1. PURPOSE
A. These procedures are adopted by the Issuer to ensure that interest on tax-exempt bonds of the Issuer (the
“Bonds”) remains excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”).
B. These written procedures are intended to formally memorialize certain policies and practices of the Issuer
previously adopted or followed by the Issuer in connection with its issuance of Bonds. The Issuer reserves
the right to use its discretion as necessary and appropriate to make exceptions to these procedures as facts
and circumstances warrant.
2. EXPENDITURE/USE OF BOND PROCEEDS
A. Expenditure of Bond proceeds will be regularly reviewed by the City Manager for consistency with the
Bond documents, including any Bond Resolution and the Issuer’s Tax Certificate.
B. The Issuer has separately established procedures for preparation and review of requests for Bond
proceeds as part of its accounting system.
C. Requests must identify the Bond-financed property in conformity with the Issuer’s Tax Certificate executed
at closing of the Bonds, including the character of the Bond-financed property. Such information is
contained as part of the Issuer’s accounting system coding.
D. None of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used to reimburse the Issuer for costs paid prior to the date
of issuance of the Bonds unless the Issuer shall have fully complied with Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury
Regulations with respect to such reimbursed amounts, which section is summarized in Exhibit A hereto.
E. Staff costs may be financed with Bond proceeds only to the extent that they are properly capitalized as
a cost of a capital project under generally accepted accounting principles and federal tax law.
F. Requests for expenditures will be summarized in a “final allocation” of Bond proceeds to uses not later than
18 months after the in-service date of the Bond-financed property (and in any event not later than 5 years
and 60 days after the issuance of the Bonds and not later than 60 days after earlier retirement of the issue)
in a manner consistent with the Code and Treasury Regulations and the applicable Tax Certificate.
G. Expenditure of proceeds of the Bonds will be measured against the Issuer’s Tax Certificate expectation to
spend or commit 5% of net sale proceeds within 6 months, to spend 85% of net sale proceeds within 3 years,
and to proceed with due diligence to complete the capital project and fully spend the net sale and
investment proceeds. In the event that exceptions under the Code are not met, calculations of rebate liability
will be performed or caused to be performed by as provided herein.
H. If there are any Bond proceeds remaining other than in a reserve or debt service fund established pursuant
to the Bond Resolution after completion of the projects, such proceeds shall be applied in a manner
consistent with the applicable Bond Resolution and Tax Certificate or pursuant to advice from Bond
Counsel.
I. In the event that Bond proceeds are to be used to make a grant to an unrelated party, a grant agreement will
be reviewed prior to execution for compliance with the Code. Such agreement will be approved by the City
Manager, with advice or consent of Bond Counsel, as necessary. The repayment of any portion of a grant by
the grantee shall be treated as unspent Bond proceeds.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
J. In the event that Bond proceeds are to be loaned to a conduit borrower, such conduit borrower will be
required to agree to all terms of the Tax Certificate and provide evidence of post-issuance tax compliance
procedures deemed adequate and consistent with those set forth herein; and all such obligations for post-
issuance tax compliance shall be assumed by such conduit borrower. The City Manager shall be the
primary contact for all conduit borrowers and related compliance matters.
K. Incurrence of a financial obligation of the issuer or obligated person, if material, or agreement to
covenants, events of default, remedies, priority rights, or other similar terms of a financial obligation of
the issuer or obligated person, any of which affect security holders, if material; and,
L. Default, event of acceleration, termination event, modification of terms, or other similar events under
the terms of the financial obligation of the issuer or obligated person, any of which reflect financial
difficulties.
3. USE OF BOND FINANCED PROPERTY
A. Use of Bond-financed property when completed and placed in service will be reviewed by the City
Manager. Appropriate ci/facility managers, including staff responsible for asset management, shall be
trained regarding restrictions on the use of Bond proceeds and facilities financed thereby and instructed
to consult with the City Manager regarding any third-party contract concerning use of the facilities,
including without limitation leases, use, management or service contracts, and research contracts.
B. Upon issuance of Bonds, there shall be no expectation that the Bond-financed property will be sold or
otherwise disposed of by the Issuer during the term of the Bonds, except for replacement due to normal
wear and tear or obsolescence.
C. Agreements with third parties for lease, use, management, or any other service agreement or research
contract with respect to, or non-governmental use in respect of, Bond-financed property will be reviewed
prior to execution for compliance with the Code. Such agreement will be approved by the City Manager, who
will be responsible for determining whether the proposed agreement (1) results in private business use of
the facilities, and (2) if applicable, meets the compensation, term and other requirements under Revenue
Procedures 97-13 (included as Exhibit B hereto) and 2007-47; all upon advice of Bond Counsel, as
necessary.
D. No item of Bond-financed property will be sold or transferred by the Issuer without approval of the City
Manager, who shall seek advice of Bond Counsel as necessary, to provide guidance as to “remedial action”
that may be required under the applicable Treasury Regulations if Bonds financing such property remain
outstanding as of the date of sale or transfer of such property. Remedial action is summarized in Exhibit C
hereto.
E. The Issuer acknowledges that any sale, transfer, change in use, or change in users of the Bond-financed
property may require remedial action, as previously described, or resolution pursuant to the IRS Voluntary
Closing Agreement Program (or “VCAP”) to assist in resolving violations of the federal tax laws applicable
to the Bonds.
4. INVESTMENTS
A. Investment of Bond proceeds in compliance with the arbitrage and rebate requirements of the Code
and applicable Treasury Regulations will be managed and supervised by City Finance Staff.
B. Guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) will be purchased according to the fair market value
provisions of applicable Treasury Regulations, including bid requirements and fee limitations.
C. Calculations of rebate liability will be performed annually by the City Manager or by outside consultants as
delegated by the City.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
D. Upon final expenditure of the gross proceeds of Bonds, and in any event promptly following the fifth
anniversary of the date of issuance of the Bonds or earlier retirement of the Bonds, the City Manager will
consult a qualified professional to prepare a spending exception report or an arbitrage rebate computation (as
applicable) for the issue of Bonds.
E. Rebate payments, as required based upon the advice of a qualified professional, will be made with Form
8038-T no later than 60 days after (a) each fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the Bonds and (b)
the final retirement of the Bond issue.
5. RECORD MANAGEMENT AND RETENTION
A. Management and retention of records related to Bond issues will be maintained by the City Manager.
B. Records for Bonds will be retained for not less than the life of the Bonds, plus any refunding bonds, plus
three years. Such records may be in the form of documents or electronic copies of documents,
appropriately indexed to specific Bond issues and compliance functions.
C. Retainable records pertaining to Bond issuance shall include a transcript of documents executed in
connection with the issuance of the Bonds and any amendments; and copies of rebate calculations and
records of payments, including Forms 8038-T.
D. Retainable records pertaining to expenditures of Bond proceeds include requisitions; trustee
statements, if applicable; and final allocation of proceeds.
E. Retainable records pertaining to use of Bond-financed property include all third-party contracts
concerning use of the facilities, including (without limitation) leases, use, management or service
contracts, and research contracts.
F. Retainable records pertaining to investments include GIC documents under the Treasury Regulations,
records of purchase and sale of other investments, and records of investment activity sufficient to
permit calculation of arbitrage rebate or demonstration that no rebate is due.
6. OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY
A. Overall administration and coordination of this policy and the procedures set forth herein are the
responsibility of the City Manager.
B. Review of compliance with this policy and the procedures set forth herein shall be undertaken periodically,
and in any event, not less than annually.
C. The Issuer understands that failure to comply with these policies and procedures could result in the
retroactive loss of the exclusion of interest on Bonds from federal gross and Minnesota taxable net
income; and, thus, it would be advisable to consult with Bond Counsel in advance regarding deviations
from the facts and expectations as set forth in the closing certifications relating to any issue of Bonds.
D. Any violations or potential violations of federal tax requirements shall promptly be reported to the City
Manager, and the City Manager will engage qualified consultants and bond counsel to further investigate
potential violations or undertake appropriate remedial actions, which actions shall be approved by the
governing body of the Issuer.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
EXHIBIT A
REIMBURSEMENT BOND SUMMARY
Following is a general summary of the requirements relating to bonds that are issued to reimburse expenditures that were
paid prior to the date of issuance of bonds (“Reimbursement Bonds”).
Reimbursement Bond proceeds cannot be used to reimburse expenditures paid more than 60 days prior to the adoption
of the declaration of official intent/reimbursement resolution, which must contain:
o a general functional description of the property to which the reimbursement relates or an identification of the fund
or account from which the expenditure is to be paid and a general functional description of the purposes of such
fund or account; and
o the maximum principal amount of debt to be issued.
Reimbursement Bonds must be issued not later than 18 months after the later of (i) the date on which the original
expenditure is paid, or (ii) the date on which the property is placed in service, but in any case not more than three years
after the date on which the original expenditure is paid. If possible, actual reimbursement should be made within 30 days
of the date of issuance of the Reimbursement Bonds.
Note that there are exceptions for “de minimis” amounts (not in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or 5% of proceeds of the
issue) and for “preliminary expenditures” (such as architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing and similar costs and
costs of issuance), so long as such preliminary expenditures do not exceed 20% of the aggregate issue price.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Exhibit B
SUMMARY OF REVENUE PROCEDURE 97-13
Background
A management, service or incentive payment contract with a private service provider with respect to tax exempt bond-
financed property may result in private business use of that property, based on all facts and circumstances. None of the
compensation may be based on a share of net profits.
Revenue Procedure 97-13 establishes conditions under which a management contract generally does not result in private
business use. Issuers and bond counsel typically attempt to satisfy, or substantially satisfy, one of these “safe harbors”
because of uncertainty as to the treatment of nonconforming contracts. Below is a brief summary of the provisions of
Rev. Proc. 93-17, as modified by Rev. Proc. 2001-39.
Rev. Proc. 93-17 establishes conditions based on (1) the compensation arrangements and the term of the agreement, and
(2) whether the service provider has any role or relationship with the “qualified user”1 that substantially limits the qualified
user’s ability to exercise its rights under the contract.
General Rules
In all events, the contract must provide for reasonable compensation for services rendered, with no compensation based,
in whole or in part, on a share of net profits from the operation of the facility. Reimbursement of the service provider for
actual and direct expenses paid by the service provider to unrelated parties is not by itself treated as compensation.
The compensation, with the percentage determined by the term of the contract, subject to additional conditions, as
described under “Compensation Safe Harbors” below, generally may be computed by:
(A) a periodic fixed fee, which is a stated dollar amount for a specified period of time2;
(B) a percentage fee, which is a percentage of gross revenues (or adjusted gross revenues) of the facility or a
percentage of expenses of the facility, but not both;
(C) a capitation fee, which is a fixed periodic amount for each person for whom the service provider or the qualified
user assumes the responsibility to provide all needed services for a specified period so long as the quantity and
type of services actually provided to covered persons varies substantially3;
(D) a per-unit fee, which is a fee based on a unit of service specified in the contract or otherwise specifically
determined by an independent third party or the qualified user4; or
(E) a productivity reward equal to a stated dollar amount based on increases or decreases in gross revenues (or
adjusted gross revenues), or reductions in total expenses (but not both increases in gross revenues (or
adjusted gross revenues) and reductions in total expenses) in any annual period during the term of the
contract.
1 A “qualified user” of the financed property is a state or local governmental unit (or instrumentality thereof) or a
501(c)(3) organization if the financed property is not used in an unrelated trade or business under section 513(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code.
2 A periodic fixed fee may include an automatic increase based on a specific, objective, external standard that is not
linked to the output or efficiency of the facility in question.
3 A capitation fee may include an automatic increase based on a specified, objective, external standard that is not
linked to the output or efficiency of the facility. A capitation fee may also include a variable component of up to 20
percent of the total capitation fee designed to protect the service provider against risks such as catastrophic loss.
4 A periodic fee may include an automatic increase based on a specified, objective, external standard that is not
linked to the output or efficiency of the facility.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
The service provider must not have any role or relationship with the qualified user that, in effect, substantially limits
the qualified user’s ability to exercise its rights, including cancellation rights, under the contract based on all facts
and circumstances. The relationship does not limit the qualified user’s ability to exercise its rights if the following
conditions are satisfied: (1) not more than 20 percent of the voting power of the governing body of the qualified user
in the aggregate is vested in the service provider and its directors, officers, shareholders, and employees, (2)
overlapping board members do not include the chief executive officers of the service provider or its governing body
or the qualified user or its governing body, and (3) the qualified user and the service provider are not related parties.
COMPENSATION SAFE HARBORS
A management contract generally will not result in private business use if the compensation arrangement meets the
criteria in one of the following categories:
50% Periodic Fixed Fee Contracts
o At least 50 percent of the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is
based on a periodic fixed fee;
o the term of the contract, including all renewal options5 in favor of the service provider, does not exceed 5 years;
and
o the contract is terminable by the qualified user of the facility on reasonable notice, without penalty or cause, at
the end of the third year of the contract term.
80% Periodic Fixed Fee Contracts
o At least 80 percent of the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is
based on a periodic fixed fee; and
o the term of the contract, including all renewal options in favor of the service provider, does not exceed the
lesser of 80 percent of the reasonably expected useful life of the financed property and 10 years.
For purposes of this safe harbor (but not the 50% periodic fixed fee safe harbor), a one-time incentive award during the
term of the contract under which compensation automatically increases by a single, stated dollar amount when a gross
revenue or expense target (but not both) is reached may be considered part of a fixed fee arrangement.
95% Periodic Fixed Fee Contracts
o At least 95 percent of the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is
based on a periodic fixed fee; and
o the term of the contract, including all renewal options in favor of the service provider, does not exceed the
lesser of 80 percent of the reasonably expected useful life of the financed property and 15 years.
For purposes of this safe harbor (but not the 50% periodic fixed fee safe harbor), a one-time incentive award during the
term of the contract under which compensation automatically increases by a single, stated dollar amount when a gross
revenue or expense target (but not both) is reached may be considered part of a fixed fee arrangement.
5 A provision under which a contract is automatically renewed absent cancellation by either party is not a renewal
option (even if it is expected to be renewed).
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Capitation Fee Contracts (with or without fixed fees)
o All of the compensation for services is based on a capitation fee or a combination of a capitation fee and a
periodic fixed fee;
o the term of the contract, including all renewal options in favor of the service provider, does not exceed 5 years; and
o the contract is terminable by the qualified user of the facility on reasonable notice, without penalty or cause, at
the end of the third year of the contract term.
Per-unit Fee Contracts (with or without fixed fees)
o All of the compensation for services is based on a per-unit fee or a combination of a per-unit fee and a periodic
fixed fee;
o the term of the contract, including all renewal options in favor of the service provider, does not exceed 3 years; and
o the contract is terminable by the qualified user of the facility on reasonable notice, without penalty or cause, at
the end of the second year of the contract term.
Percentage of Revenue or Expenses
o All the compensation for services is based on a percentage of fees charged or a combination of a per-unit fee
and a percentage of revenue or expense fee;
o the term of the contract, including all renewal options in favor of the service provider, does not exceed 2 years; and
o the contract is terminable by the qualified user of the facility on reasonable notice, without penalty or cause, at
the end of the first year of the contract term.
During the start-up period, however, compensation may be based on a percentage of either gross revenues, adjusted
gross revenues, or expenses of a facility. The contract must be terminable by the qualified user on reasonable notice,
without penalty or cause, at the end of the first year of the contract term. This safe harbor applies only to contracts
under which the service provider primarily provides services to third parties and management contracts involving a
facility during an initial start-up period for which there have been insufficient operations to establish a reasonable
estimate of the amount of the annual gross revenues and expenses (for example, a contract for general management
services for the first year of operations).
Revision of Compensation Arrangements
Please note that if the compensation arrangements of a management contract are materially revised, the compensation
arrangements are “retested” as of the date of the material revision, and the management contract is treated as one that
was newly entered into as of the date of the material revision.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
EXHIBIT C
REMEDIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO BONDS
The Issuer acknowledges that any deliberate action by the Issuer after Bond issuance that results in a satisfaction of the
private business tests or the private loan test will result in private activity bond status unless one or more qualifying
remedial actions are taken by the Issuer. Specifically, Treasury Regulations provide that actions are not treated as
deliberate actions if (A) five conditional requirements are met, and (B) one of three remedial actions is taken, with
respect to the disposition proceeds and nonqualified bonds :
CONDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
1. Reasonable Expectations – The Issuer reasonably expected on the issue date that it would not meet the private
business tests or the private loan test for the whole term of the bonds; and
2. Reasonable Bond Maturity – The term of the issue must not be unreasonably long; this requirement is met if
the weighted average maturity of the bond issue is not greater than 120% of the expected economic life of
the property financed; and
3. Fair Market Value Consideration – The terms of any agreement (relating to satisfaction of a private activity
bond test) must be bona fide and at arm’s-length, and the new user must pay a fair market value consideration
for the use of the bond- financed property; and
4. Disposition Proceeds Are Gross Proceeds – The Issuer must treat any disposition proceeds as gross
proceeds subject to arbitrage/rebate restrictions; and
5. Proceeds Spent for Authorized Purpose – Except as described with respect to redemption and defeasance
options below, prior to deliberate actions, the affected proceeds must have been spent for the authorized
purposes under the applicable bond documents.
REMEDIAL ACTIONS – Under Treasury Regulations, Sections 1.141-12(d), (e) and (f):
1. Redemption of Non-Qualified Bonds – Under the general rule, all nonqualified bonds of the issue must be
redeemed. Tax- exempt bond proceeds (i.e., refunding bond proceeds) cannot be used unless the tax-exempt
bonds are qualified bonds, taking into account the purchaser’s use of the facility. The bonds must be redeemed
within 90 days of the date of the deliberate action or a defeasance escrow for the bonds must be established
within such 90-day period. Special rules apply to transfers exclusively for cash and to defeasance escrows.
2. Alternative Use of Disposition Proceeds – To meet this requirement, all disposition proceeds must be in cash,
the issuer must reasonably expect to expend the proceeds within 2 years, the new use must not meet the private
business tests or the private loan test (and the issuer cannot take any action subsequent to the date of the
deliberate action to cause the tests to be met), and any unused proceeds must satisfy the redemption
requirement in the preceding paragraph.
The portion of the outstanding bonds in an amount that, if the remaining bonds were issued on the date on which
the deliberate action occurs, the remaining bonds would not satisfy the private business use test or the private
loan financing test, as applicable. The amount of private business use is the highest percentage of business use
in any one-year period, commencing with the deliberate action
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
3. Alternative Use of Facility – This remedial action is satisfied if the bond-financed property itself (as
distinguished from the proceeds of the issue) is used in an alternative manner (e.g., for a different purpose or by
a different person); the nonqualified bonds are treated as reissued on the date of the deliberate action and
independently meet all of the requirements for tax exemption under Sections 141 through 150 of the Code,
except the arbitrage and rebate rules of Section 148, for the remaining term of the nonqualified bonds; the
deliberate action does not involve a transfer of the property to a purchaser that finances the acquisition with the
proceeds of another issue of tax-exempt bonds; and any disposition proceeds, other than those arising from an
agreement to provide services, resulting from the deliberate action are used to pay debt service on the bonds on
the next available payment date or escrowed within 90 days of receipt and yield restricted to pay debt service on
the next available payment date.
The above is only a brief summary of remedial actions, and additional special rules may be applicable. As provided in the
Issuer’s Compliance Procedures for Tax-Exempt Bonds, the City Manager shall seek advice of Bond Counsel as
necessary to provide guidance as to “remedial action” that may be required under the applicable Treasury Regulations.
The Commissioner of the IRS may, by publication, provide for additional remedial actions. In addition, the IRS provides a
program in which issuers/borrowers which cannot meet a listed remedial action can enter into a closing agreement with
the IRS to avoid private activity bond status. The closing agreement program includes several conditions, including
providing for the redemption of the bonds and paying the IRS an amount based on an assumption that the non-qualified
bonds are taxable from the date of the subsequent act until they are redeemed.

City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
B. Environmental Preferred Products:
Purchasing decisions should reflect the City’s commitment to sustainability and the protection of human
health and the environment. The City shall accept up to a 10% price preference for products purchased with
new construction or when replacements or repairs are needed, when meeting the following standards:
o Recycled Paper – Office paper supplies shall contain at least 30% post-
consumer recycled content. This includes, but is not limited to copy paper,
letterhead, and envelopes.
o Energy Star Label – Appliances and equipment shall be Energy Star certified. This includes, but is not
limited to appliances, electronics, heating and cooling systems, lighting systems, fans, office
equipment, computers, exit signs, and water heaters.
o WaterSense Certification – Fixtures and products that use water shall be WaterSense certified.
This includes, but is not limited to sinks, toilets, urinals, showerheads, and water softeners.
o Cleaning Products – Supplies shall meet Green Seal, EcoLogo, and/or US EPA Design for the
Environment (DfE) cleaning product standards.
The environmental preferred purchasing standards shall apply to products that are practicable, available, and
perform to an acceptable standard. Authorization from the City Manager shall be required if the purchase
price for the environmental preferred product is greater than $1,000 total or 10% more as compared to the
standard product model.
C. Cooperative Purchasing Program
Many cities purchase a variety of equipment and supplies from state contracts. The Department of
Administration operates a cooperative purchasing program that cities can join. In fact, for contracts
estimated to exceed $25,000 the City must consider the availability, price, and quality of supplies, materials,
or equipment available through the State Cooperative Purchasing venture before buying from another source.
D. Guaranteed Energy Savings Agreements:
State Statutes authorize the City to enter into a guaranteed energy savings agreement with a qualified
provider for the purpose of implementing comprehensive utility cost-saving measures to improve the energy
efficiency of various municipal facilities within the City so long as the implementation costs will not exceed
the amount to be saved in utility and maintenance costs over a twenty year period with said utility and
maintenance cost savings guaranteed in writing by the qualified provider. The City shall follow all
requirements as prescribed in Statute related to this authority to enter into Guaranteed Energy Savings
Agreements.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
E. Responsible Contractor Compliance:
A contractor responding to a solicitation document of a contracting authority shall submit to the contracting
authority a signed statement under oath by an owner or officer verifying compliance with each of the
minimum criteria in subdivision 3 of Minnesota Statute 16C.285, with the exception of clause (7), at the time
that it responds to the solicitation document. A contracting authority may accept a signed statement under
oath as sufficient to demonstrate that a contractor is a responsible contractor and shall not be held liable for
awarding a contract in reasonable reliance on that statement. A prime contractor, subcontractor, or motor
carrier that fails to verify compliance with any one of the required minimum criteria or makes a false
statement under oath in a verification of compliance shall be ineligible to be awarded a construction
contract on the project for which the verification was submitted. A false statement under oath verifying
compliance with any of the minimum criteria may result in termination of a construction contract that has
already been awarded to a prime contractor or subcontractor or motor carrier that submits a false
statement. A contracting authority shall not be liable for declining to award a contract or terminating a
contract based on a reasonable determination that contractor failed to verify compliance with the minimum
criteria or falsely stated that it meets the minimum criteria. A verification of compliance need not be
notarized. An electronic verification of compliance made and submitted as part of an electronic bid shall be
an acceptable verification of compliance under this section, provided that it contains an electronic signature
as defined in section 325L.02, paragraph (h) of Minnesota Statutes 16C.285.
F. Bidding Requirements:
When supplies or equipment are competitive in nature, specifications cannot exclude all but one type of
equipment or supplies. Proposals and specifications must allow free and full competition. Bidding
requirements cannot be avoided by splitting a contract into several contracts, each of which is below the
minimum amount requiring sealed bids. For example, the City cannot purchase $200,000 of lumber in
several transactions, each involving an expenditure of less than $175,000. However, if materials or work
logically fall into two separate contracts because they involve separate transactions, as for the service of
contractors specializing in different kinds of work, there is no reason why the City cannot negotiate the
contracts individually without sealed bids if the bids do not exceed the $175,000 minimum.
o Capital Improvement Program (CIP) purchases – the CIP is not an adopted budget document,
therefore, the expenditure has not been formally authorized. A resolution should be adopted listing
the funding source to give the formal authorization to expend the funds for the equipment purchase.
o Sales tax – Beginning January 1, 2015 purchases made by the City of New Hope are generally
exempt. The general exemption for cities, however, does not apply to purchases made by the City
to provide the following goods and services: golf courses, solid waste, and cafes. Certain other
exclusions are listed in Statute and should be reviewed on a regular basis. Bidders should specify
whether their bid includes sales tax or not. After the work is completed and a purchase order is
processed, if the invoice does not itemize sales tax you must obtain a corrected invoice from the
vendor if sales tax is applicable on the item purchased. The City is not subject to the Hennepin
County Sales and Use Tax of 0.15% that went into effect January 1, 2007.
o Consultant services – state law does not require cities to competitively bid contracts for
professional services (i.e. attorney, architect, engineer, accountant, cleaning company, or other
person with technical, scientific, or professional training such as refuse hauling).
o Sealed bids are required for purchases exceeding $175,000, and bids must be advertised by the City
Clerk in the City's legal newspaper (Notice to Bidders) and publicly opened and approved by Council
resolution. In addition to the legal notice, the City must prepare instructions to bidders and general
specifications for sealed bids. Attaching a copy of the proposed contract to the instructions to
bidders is required. Sealed bids, including the number of bids received prior to bid opening, are
nonpublic. Once opened, the name of the bidder and the dollar amount of the bid are public (all
other data is private until completion of the selection process).
o Bids vs. Quotes terminology – always use term quotation unless referring to a sealed bid.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
o Bid security (for sealed bids for purchases over $175,000) in the amount of five percent (5%) of the
bid shall be submitted to the City Clerk. The bid security guarantees that in the event the bidder’s
offer is accepted, the bidder will enter into a contract in accordance with the proposal. Bid security
of the successful bidder will be returned upon execution of the contract documents. Bid securities of
unsuccessful bidders will be returned within a reasonable time period (Minnesota Statute §574.27).
Failure of the successful bidder to execute the Contract and furnish applicable bonds within ten (10)
days after receiving written notice of the award shall cause the bid security to be forfeited as
liquidated damages to the City. The City Council at this time may award the contract to the next
lower competent bidder unless the Council determines that public interest will be better served by
accepting a higher bid, or the contract may be re-advertised.
As a statutory City, contracts and bids must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. It should
be noted that the bidder who submits the lowest bid in dollars is not necessarily the "lowest
responsible bidder" and the quoted phrase gives the Council reasonable discretion in choosing
among bidders. Responsibility, in bid statutes, means not only financial responsibility but also
integrity, skill, and the likelihood that the bidder will perform faithful and satisfactory work.
o Rejecting Bids (and related Data Practices laws) - the City has the right to reject any and all bids
(requests for proposals, requests for bids, sealed bids). All data submitted in response to bid
requests are private until bids are opened. If bids are rejected prior to the completion of the
evaluation or selection process, all data, other than that made public at the bid opening, remain
private until a re-solicitation of bids results in completion of the selection process. If the rejection
occurs after the completion of the selection process, the data remain public. If a re-solicitation of
bids does not occur within one year of the bid opening date, the remaining data become public

Revenue Policy
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
Purpose
1. To provide a diversified and strong set of revenues to ensure a stable revenue system for City programs and services.
2. To match revenues with similar uses to ensure adequate funding for the various City services and programs over the
long-term.
Policy
The City will endeavor to maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to shelter it from annual fluctuations in
any one revenue source.
The City will conservatively estimate and budget for its annual revenues by an objective, analytical process. All existing
and potential revenue sources will be re-examined annually.
Absent any outside legal restrictions, all Federal, State, County, or other governmental financial aids, should be formally
designated, by resolution, towards a specific program or service. When possible, general purpose aids shall only be
used for capital or non- recurring expenditures and not for on-going operations.
The City will strive to establish all user charges and fees for General Fund program activities at a level related to the
full cost of providing the services, or as adjusted for particular program goals. The City will review the full cost of
activities supported by user fees to identify the impact of inflation and other cost increases and will review these fees
along with the resulting net property tax costs during the budget process. Sensitivity to market rates will also be
considered in setting fees.
The City will set fees and user charges for each enterprise fund such as water, sewer, or other enterprise funds such as
golf and ice at a level that fully supports the total direct and indirect cost of the activity, including depreciation of capital
assets and debt service, to maintain a positive cash flow and provide adequate working capital. Replacement (or
bonding for replacement) of enterprise infrastructure will be paid for from accumulated (or annual) earnings of the
respective system.

Revolving Loan Fund
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
A local unit of government may establish a Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) with funds from a variety of sources. The
guidelines outlined in this document pertain only to a RLF seeded with funds received through the repayment of a loan
provided from the state-funded Minnesota Investment Fund (MIF) or Economic Recovery Fund programs administered
through the Department of Employment and Economic Development or its predecessors.
The local government must follow the RLF guidelines that were submitted with the initial MIF application and approved by
your DEED Senior Loan Officer. Although the guidelines provide the policies and procedures for the reuse of these funds,
the RLF policies and procedures must also adhere to the same requirements that are followed by the state’s Minnesota
Investment Fund program. In addition to the local government’s underwriting criteria, the guidelines from Minn. Stat.
116J.8731 (some of which is summarized below) and from the Minnesota Business Subsidy Law (Minn. Stat. 116J. 993
and 116J.994) must be included in the policies and procedures
General Purposes and Guidelines for RLFs Seeded by the Minnesota Investment Fund
Purpose and Goals
The purpose of the RLF is to provide financial and technical assistance for the creation and retention of new employment.
These objectives may be accomplished through the following means:
1. Create/retain permanent private sector jobs to fuel above-average economic growth consistent with
environmental protection;
2. Investment in technology and equipment that increase productivity and provide for higher wages;
3. Leverage of private investment to ensure economic renewal and competitiveness;
4. Increase the local tax base to guarantee a diversified industry mix;
5. Improve the quality of existing jobs, based on increases in wages or improvements in the job duties, training, or
education associated with those jobs;
6. Improve employment and economic opportunities and create a reasonable standard of living; and
7. Enhance productivity growth through improved manufacturing or new technologies.
One way to meet these objectives is to assist businesses that have location options outside Minnesota. These firms
bring income into the state and raise the overall standard of living.
Eligible Expenditures
The MIF-seeded funds may be used in a variety of ways include example noted below. More information is available in
Minn. Stat. 116J.8731 and through conversations with your loan officer.
1. Provide loans, loan guarantees, interest buy-downs, and other forms of participation, ensuring that RLF funds are
matched by private financing.
2. Fund strategic investments in renewable energy market development. Any expenditure for external marketing for
renewable energy market development is not subject to the matching requirements listed above.
3. Provide entrepreneurs with training, other technical assistance, and financial assistance as defined by federal
guidelines.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Eligible Projects
Assistance must be evaluated on the existence of the following conditions as noted in Minn. Stat. 116J.8731:
1. Creation or retention of jobs, or the improvement of jobs as measured by wages, skills or knowledge;
2. Increase in the tax base;
3. Attraction of private funds to the project;
4. Incapacity of local communities and finance partners to finance project;
5. Results in higher wage levels or workforce skills;
6. Supports development of microenterprises, as defined by federal guidelines, through technical assistance or
financial assistance.
7. Need for assistance to retain existing business;
8. Importance of assistance to attract out-of-state business; and
9. The project promotes or advances the green economy.
The assistance cannot meet solely 7. or 8.; other conditions must also be present.
Eligible Activities
RLF’s may be used to fund a variety of business activities including:
1. Acquisition of land
2. Construction or rehabilitation of facilities
3. Site improvements
4. Utilities or infrastructure
5. Machinery and Equipment
6. Training
7. Working capital
Advance approval from DEED is necessary if the local government would like to provide financing for activities not listed
above. Approval is more likely to occur in projects that relate to business development and involve other local
government funds.
Ineligible Activities
In contrast to federal MIF funds, there are industry limitations on how state MIF RLFs may be used. State MIF RLFs may
not be used for the operation, construction or expansion of a casino, a sport facility that that has a professional sports
team as a principal tenant or any firm engaged in retailing merchandise. All assistance should follow the approved RLF
guidelines. Please call your loan officer to discuss any prospective financing.
Wage Goals
Businesses receiving RLF-State MIF assistance must pay each employee total compensation, including benefits not
mandated by law, that on an annualized basis is equal to at least 110 % of the federal poverty level for a family of four,
which as of February 1, 2015 is $12.82 per hour. Each year’s compensation level changes and can be found on DEED’s
Business Finance MIF website.
Other Eligible Uses of the Funds
Minn. Stat. 116J.8731 allows local governments to loan or grant RLF funds to a regional development commission, other
regional entities, or a certain statewide community capital funds to provide the local match required for capitalization of a
regional or statewide RLF. Unlike federal MIF funds, state MIF funds held by local governments never lose their state
identify and must follow all applicable laws and regulations.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
The local government must request permission from the DEED before it can commit to providing funds to any of these
organizations. The local government does not have the authority to turn over to another entity, such as Port Authority,
Economic Development Authority, Housing Authority, etc. revolving loan funds for any purpose; these entities may
administer MIF transactions provided the MIF grantee still maintains control over the RLF.
Conflict of Interest
Minn. Stat. 471.87 and 471.88 provide guidance on conflict of interest in a MIF transaction. An actual conflict of interest
shall be deemed to exist when a decision on a MIF transaction would compromise a duty to another party or if special
advantage is deemed to occur. Potential conflict of interests should also be considered.
Business Subsidy Law
As mentioned on page 1, Minn. Stat. 116J.993 and 116J.994 must be followed in the administration of RLF-State MIF.
These sections pertain to the definition of a business subsidy, public purpose of the subsidy, criteria, subsidy agreements,
wage and job goals, timing of the project, public notice and hearing requirements, failure to meet goals, and reporting of
information regarding the outcomes of the subsidy.
Job Listing Requirements
Per Minn. Stat. 116L.66, a business that receives grants or loans in an amount greater than $200,000 must agree to list
any vacant or new positions related to the financial assistance on the MinnesotaWorks.net job bank website.
Prevailing Wage
Per Minn. Stat. 116J.871, laborers and mechanics at the project site during construction, installation, remodeling, and
repairs must be paid the state prevailing wage if the financial assistance is greater than
$500,000 for a loan. All contracts for publicly owned infrastructure using the RLF must comply with the prevailing wage
provisions.
Data Privacy
The provision of any information related to any applications for assistance is guided by Minn. Stat. 13.591, particularly
Subd 1 and 2.
These operating guidelines provide a summary of how to administer revolving loan funds seeded with repayments from
Minnesota Investment Fund loans. Specific transactions and RLF administration should be discussed with your DEED
Senior Loan Officer. Other applicable state and federal laws and rules must also be followed.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Risk Management Policy
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
Purpose
To maintain a risk management program that will minimize the impact of legal liabilities, natural disasters or other
emergencies through the following activities:
1. Loss prevention - prevent losses where possible
2. Loss control - reduce or mitigate losses
3. Loss financing - provide a means to finance losses
4. Loss information management - collect and analyze data to make prudent prevention, control and financing
decisions
Policy
The City will review and analyze all areas of risk in order to, whenever possible, avoid and reduce risks or transfer risks to
other entities. Of the risks that must be retained, it shall be the policy to fund the risks which the City can afford and
transfer all other risks to insurers.
The City will periodically conduct educational safety and risk avoidance programs within the various departments.
The City will, on an ongoing basis, analyze the feasibility of self-funding and other cooperative funding options in
lieu of purchasing outside insurance in order to provide the best and most economical loss coverage available.
Staff will report to the Council, at least annually, on the results and costs of the City’s risk management program
for the preceding year.
The City will maintain the deductible amount considered prudent in light of the relationship between the cost of
insurance and the City’s ability to sustain the loss.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Tax Abatement Policy
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish the City of New Hope and the New Hope Economic Development Authority’s
(City/EDA) position as it relates to the use of Tax Abatement for private development. This policy shall be used as a
guide in processing and reviewing applications requesting business assistance, and in conjunction with the City’s
Business Assistance Policy. The City shall have the option of amending or waiving sections of this policy when
determined necessary or appropriate.
2. STATUTORY LIMITATIONS
In accordance with the City/EDA’s Tax Abatement Policy, assistance requests must comply with applicable State
Statutes. MN Statutes, Sections 469.1812 through 469.1815, authorizes a political subdivision to utilize property tax
abatement on certain parcels of land within its boundaries.
3. POLICY BACKGROUND
A. The City/EDA recognizes that local government plays a critical role in enhancing the vitality of our
community. This is particularly true as the City reaches full development.
B. All reasonable means shall be utilized to leverage private business development and redevelopment in the
City consistent with this and other policies. Tax abatement is an important and useful tool in attracting and
retaining businesses.
C. The tax abatement tool provides the ability to capture and use all or a portion of the property tax revenues
within a defined geographic area. In practice, it is a tax “rebate” rather than an exemption from paying
property taxes. Tax abatement is an important economic development tool that when used appropriately
can be useful to accomplish the City/EDA’s development and redevelopment goals and objectives. Requests
for tax abatement must serve to accomplish the City’s targeted goals for development and redevelopment.
These goals include, but are not limited to projects that will result in the creation or retention of a significant
number of jobs that pay wages adequate to support households, projects that will assist with the retention
and expansion of businesses, and projects that will expand the City’s tax base. Projects must meet the
requirements established by the Business Assistance Policy of the City/EDA, to the extent it is applicable, in
order to receive abatement.
4. PROJECT ELIGIBILITY
Projects eligible for consideration of property tax abatement include but are not limited to the following:
o Mixed use projects including new and redevelopment projects
o Commercial and industrial redevelopment projects
o New commercial and industrial developments
o Residential business properties (with some restrictions as defined in this policy)
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
5. OBJECTIVES
A. A property tax abatement must meet at least one of the following public purposes:
Increase or preserve the tax base
o Provide employment opportunities in the City
o Provide or help acquire or construct public facilities
o Help redevelop or renew blighted areas
o Help provide access to services for City residents
o Finance or provide public infrastructure
B. The developer/landowner shall be able to demonstrate a market demand for a proposed project.
C. Tax abatement shall not be used for projects that would place extraordinary demands on City services or for
projects that would generate significant environmental impacts.
D. Because it is not possible to anticipate every type of project, which may in its context and time present
desirable community building, development, or redevelopment goals and objectives, the City/EDA retains the
right in its discretion to approve projects and tax abatements that may vary from the principles and criteria of
this policy.
6. DETERMINATION OF AMOUNT OF ASSISTANCE
A. Tax abatement assistance available shall generally be limited to the incremental taxes generated on the
improvements to the property. The City/EDA may consider a greater level of financial assistance, up to the
maximum allowed under Minnesota Statutes, in limited circumstances. The level of assistance will be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may reflect an increase or decrease in requested financial assistance
from the applicant.
B. The amount of tax abatement assistance provided to an applicant shall be based on a review of the following:
o Request for Financial Assistance Form
o Review of Applicant Pro Forma
o Amount of Increment Generated by the Project
C. In any year, the total amount of property taxes abated (City-wide) may not exceed (1) ten percent of the
current levy, or (2) $200,000, whichever is greater. The limit does not apply to an uncollected abatement from
a prior year that is added to the abatement levy.
D. The developer/landowner must adequately demonstrate, to the City/EDA’s sole satisfaction, an ability to
complete the proposed project based on past development experience, general reputation, and credit history,
among other factors, including the size and scope of the proposed project. The developer/landowner must
provide adequate financial guarantees to ensure completion of the project, including, but not limited to:
assessment agreements and letters of credit.
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
7. FORMS OF ASSISTANCE
A. Tax abatement shall generally be provided on a “pay-as-you-go” basis wherein the City/EDA compensates
the applicant for a predetermined amount for stated number of years. In all cases, semi-annual abatement
payments are based on available (as approved by agreement) tax revenue from the property and issued to
the applicant after payment of property taxes by the applicant.
B. Another form of assistance that shall be considered only in extraordinary circumstances is an “up-front
payment” to the applicant. This may be in the form of a revenue or general obligation bond or an internal loan.
(The City/EDA would consider revenue bond financing where the terms of the financing are satisfactory to
the City/EDA.) The tax increment generated from the applicant’s project is a source of revenue for
repayment of the bonds or loan. This form of assistance is not one the City/EDA will generally consider
because under this form of assistance the taxpayers assume the risk that the tax increment will be sufficient
for repayment of the bonds or the interfund loan.
8. DURATION AND RESTRICTIONS
A. The City/EDA may grant an abatement for a period no longer than 15 years, except as provided under 8.02.
The City/EDA may specify in the abatement resolution a shorter duration.
B. The City/EDA, when proposing to abate taxes for a parcel, may make a written request to Hennepin County
or a Independent School District 281 in which a parcel is located to grant an abatement of county or school
taxes for the property. If one of the two political subdivisions declines, in writing, to grant an abatement or if
90 days pass after receipt of the request to grant an abatement without a written response from one of the
political subdivisions, the duration limit for an abatement for the parcel may be increased to 20 years.
C. The City/EDA may not enter into a property tax abatement agreement that provides for abatement of taxes on
a parcel, if the abatement will occur while the parcel is located in a tax increment financing district.
9. APPLICATION
A. The City/EDA will require a deposit in the amount of $5,000 from the applicant to investigate the feasibility of
providing assistance to the applicant. If the City/EDA incurs additional expense beyond the $5,000 prior to
execution of the Developer’s Agreement, the City/EDA shall notify the applicant in writing and the applicant
must deposit additional funds for work on the application to continue. If the project is approved and the
applicant proceeds with the project, the applicant’s deposit may be reimbursed as an eligible project cost to
the extent permissible under MN Statutes.
B. In addition to the $5,000 deposit fee, the applicant must submit the following forms and documentation at
time of application for the application to be complete and review of the application to begin:
o Request for Financial Assistance Form
o Project Pro Forma Documentation (Developed by Applicant)
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
Tax Increment Financing Policy
Last reviewed by City Council on November 20, 2023.
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish the City of New Hope and the New Hope Economic Development
Authority’s (City/EDA) position as it relates to the use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for private development.
This policy shall be used as a guide in processing and reviewing applications requesting business assistance, and
in conjunction with the City/EDA’s Business Assistance Policy. The City/EDA shall have the option of amending or
waiving sections of this policy when determined necessary or appropriate.
2. STATUTORY LIMITATIONS
In accordance with the City/EDA’s Tax Increment Financing Policy, assistance requests must comply with applicable
State Statutes. Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174 through 469.179 (Tax Increment Finance Act), as amended,
authorizes local governments to utilize Tax Increment Financing to assist development and redevelopment of
certain parcels within its boundaries.
3. POLICY BACKGROUND
A. The City/EDA recognizes that local government plays a critical role in enhancing the vitality of our
community. This is particularly true as the City reaches full development.
B. All reasonable means shall be utilized to leverage private business development and redevelopment in
the City consistent with this and other policies. Tax increment financing is an important and useful tool in
attracting and retaining businesses.
C. The fundamental principle that makes tax increment financing viable is that it is designed to encourage
development that would not otherwise occur. The City/EDA shall be responsible to determine that (1) a
project would not occur “but for” the assistance provided through tax increment financing; and (2) no other
development would occur on the relevant site without tax increment assistance, that could create a larger
market value increase than the increase expected from the proposed development (after adjusting for the
value of the tax increment).
D. The City/EDA shall consider tax increment financing in cases that serve to accomplish targeted City goals
for development and redevelopment as they may change over time. These goals include, but are not limited
to projects that will (1) foster and support redevelopment; (2) result in the creation or retention of a
significant number of jobs that pay wages adequate to support households; or (3) assist with the retention
and expansion of businesses, and (4) expand the City’s tax base.
4. CREATION OF TIF DISTRICTS
A. The City/EDA shall consider the creation of any of the general types of TIF Districts allowed by Minnesota
Statutes or the creation of other types of TIF Districts allowed by Special Legislation, when doing so is
consistent with the development and redevelopment goals of the City/EDA.
B. TIF Districts are the specific parcels within a Project Area from which tax increment is captured. MN Statutes
currently defines five general types of TIF Districts which the City/EDA shall consider:
o Redevelopment District
o Renewal and Renovation District
o Soils Condition District
o Housing District
o Economic Development District
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
C. In addition to these five general types of TIF Districts, defined by Minnesota Statutes, the City/EDA may also
consider the creation of TIF Districts as authorized by applicable special tax increment financing legislation.
D. The City/EDA shall consider the creation of a TIF District based on qualifications and term restrictions, as
defined in Minnesota Statutes. The City/EDA shall consider a range of attributes including but not limited to
the following:
o Projects consistent with development and redevelopment goals of the City/EDA
o Development of office, office/corporate headquarters, office/service/warehouse and manufacturing
o Maximized use of other financial resources
o Projects that provide funding for appropriate public improvements that may benefit numerous
development projects
o Low percentage of public investment; high percentage of private investment
o Analysis of detailed business pro forma with reasonable timeline for completion and occupancy
o Project has potential to enhance spin-off development and redevelopment
o Exceeds minimum design standards per City Ordinance
o Presents minimal risk to the City/EDA
o Maximizes increased tax base and contributes to higher market values
o Number of jobs and pay level of positions will be a consideration but not a requirement if other
appropriate public purpose(s) is met
5. ELIGIBLE COSTS
The City/EDA shall consider the use of tax increment financing to cover project costs as allowed for under Minnesota
Statutes. The types of project costs that are eligible for tax increment financing (under current state law) are as
follows:
o TIF application deposit
o Architectural and engineering fees
directly attributable to site work
o Earthwork/excavation
o Landscaping
o Streets and roads
o Street/parking lot lighting
o Sidewalks
o Special assessments
o Soils test and environmental studies
o Site related permits
o Soils correction
o Utilities (sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and
water)
o Street/parking lot paving
o Curb and gutter
o Land acquisition
o Legal (acquisition, financing, and closing
fees)
o Surveys
o Title insurance
City of New Hope, Minnesota Financial Management Plan
6. DETERMINATION OF AMOUNT OF ASSISTANCE
A. Whether in a new or existing TIF District, the amount of tax increment financing provided to an applicant shall
be based on a review of the following:
o Request for Financial Assistance Form
o Review of Applicant Pro Forma
o Amount of Increment Generated by the Project
B. The level of assistance shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may reflect an increase or decrease in
requested financial assistance. When considering a request for tax increment financing for a project, there
shall be consideration of the level of financial assistance provided for other previously approved projects in
the TIF District or Project Area.
7. FORMS OF ASSISTANCE
A. Tax increment financing shall generally be provided on a “pay-as-you-go” basis wherein the City/EDA
compensates the applicant for a predetermined amount for a stated number of years. The City/EDA shall
have the option to issue a TIF Note with or without interest, where the principal amount of the TIF Note is
equal to the amount of eligible project costs incurred and proven by the developer. In all cases, semi-annual
TIF payments shall be based on available increment generated from the project. TIF payments shall be made
after collection of property taxes.
B. Another form of assistance that shall be considered only in extraordinary circumstances is an “up-front
payment” to the applicant. This may be in the form of revenue or general obligation bond or an internal loan.
The tax increment generated from the applicant’s project is a source of revenue for repayment of the bonds or
loan. This form of assistance is not one the City/EDA will generally consider because under this form of
assistance the City/EDA assumes the risk that the tax increment will be sufficient for repayment of the
bonds or interfund loan.

Originating Department: Public Works
By: Bernie Weber, Director
Agenda Title
Update and Discussion regarding the 2024‐2033 Pavement Management Plan
Requested Action
Staff would like to update Council on the progress of the pavement management strategy and the results of
scheduled and advanced infrastructure projects. Staff encourages comments, concerns and input from
Council.
Background
In 2014, the City Council and city manager requested that the director of public works and the city engineer
formulate a pavement management strategy to advance the pavement surface replacement program beyond
the system that was previously developed. A plan to increase the utility fund balances was also requested.
From 2003‐2014, pavement condition surveys were performed by a consultant on one‐third of the road
network each year. The results provided a pavement condition index (PCI) for each street block. After re‐
evaluating the system in 2014, this rating has been performed by city and engineering staff. This rating allows
data to be incorporated into annual budgets and project forecasting parameters to create a street
infrastructure management plan. City and engineering staff now review one‐half of the city’s streets each fall.
Focusing on both the short‐term and long‐term issues, the pavement management strategy identified and
prioritized street maintenance activities to maximize the return on each dollar invested. Depending on
roadway and underlying maintenance conditions, maintenance strategies are identified as mill and overlay,
full depth reclaim and overlay, or full reconstruction.
City staff and the city engineer have updated the 10‐year pavement management plan to forecast street
improvement projects through 2033. Major changes from last year include the addition of 2033 pavement and
infrastructure strategies to this plan. Additionally, an extended life span on seal coat and fog seal applied on
the fully reconstructed streets has been observed in the yearly inspection of city streets. Based on that
extended life, staff has included a proposed pavement management schedule in the attached Pavement
Management Plan.
The city engineer will be presenting the progress of the pavement management plan including these
additions.

2023 Pavement Management Plan (10-Year: 2024-2033)
Dear Reece,
As requested, we have updated New Hope’s Pavement Management Plan to include street
infrastructure and maintenance improvements over the next ten years. Street ratings have been
updated through the project improvements completed in 2023 (see attached 2022 and 2023 PRI
maps). The pavement management plan maps have also been updated for 2024-2033 (see
attached maps).
The general progress update is within this letter, and additional information is attached including
the maps and costs estimates which will be presented at the November 20th Council Work Session.
PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY PHILOSOPHY
The overall goal of the pavement management strategy is to improve the driving surface of the
streets. Full reconstruction will only be completed on streets with an extreme amount of water
breaks and/or other sewer infrastructure issues. Interim overlays will be planned, and the amount
of utility rehabilitation or replacement will be limited. This more aggressive approach to pavement
management was agreed to by City Council in 2014, and will provide the following:
·Improve Quality of Life
·Increase Aesthetic Value
o Increase in Home Value
·Increase Safety
·Build up Water and Utility Funds

PAVEMENT RATING UPDATE
Prior to 2015, the ratings were previously completed by GoodPointe Technology using the
Pavement Condition Index (PCI). As city staff now can rate streets using the city’s asset
management program, Infraseek, a similar but simpler rating system is being utilized, Pavement
Rating Index (PRI). The PRI scale and description is shown below:
New Hope has taken a more aggressive approach to pavement management and the higher
pavement ratings are a result of the improvements completed since 2013. The table below
provides the recent past ratings and the updated ratings completed in 2023. This table was
separated by local roads and municipal state aid (MSA) roads, as they can be funded by using
local or MSA funds.

Generally, a good target for the average PRI should be in the 61-80 or “Good” pavement rating
range. As time goes by, street conditions degrade, and pavement ratings decline. Following the
Pavement Management Plan shown below provides as a guide to complete structural and
maintenance improvements and will keep the streets in good and acceptable conditions.
PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (2024-2033)
Attached are maps of the current proposed street improvement projects. Streets identified for
improvements were selected from a variety of factors including the pavement conditions, past
improvements, adjacent Mn/DOT projects, and utility conditions (such as water main breaks, and
failing utility pipes and structures).
The streets identified were also selected to be improved within the current capital improvement
plan (CIP) budget. The associated cost estimates for the type of improvement are attached. The
estimated costs include total project costs, including 3% inflation each year. As discussed in past
reports, staff has used higher rates at times depending on inflation.

The pavement management plan is a continual fluid process as project costs will change, as well
as the conditions of the pavement and utility infrastructure. The plan generally follows the
schedule shown on the following pages, although some streets may deviate and require interim
overlays or seal coat/fog seal improvements to improve the pavement condition while building up
utility and street funds to complete a more extensive improvement in the future.
The improvements shown in color below are more significant structural improvements. The
intermediate crack seal, seal coat, and fog seal are maintenance improvements.

The proposed adjustment would put Local Streets and lower traffic Municipal State Aid (MSA)
Streets on an 80-year versus 72-year cycle. Also, because the city has experienced some stripping
of seal coats on higher traffic MSA Streets, Public Works and Engineering Staff have been working
adjust the General Pavement Management Schedule for those streets as follows:

Higher Traffic MSA Streets

Some adjustments were made in the 2020-2023 Crack Seal, Seal Coat, and Fog Seal Project
because of the ‘Current’ schedules. Public Works and Engineering Staff will continue to evaluate
seal coat and fog seal conditions in Spring 2024. If we see a continual improvement in life of the
seal coats and fog seals, we will continue the transition from the ‘Previous’ to ‘Current’ pavement
management program citywide. The 80-year program (for local streets and lower traffic MSA
streets) and 72-year program (for higher traffic MSA streets) is considered the ‘Current’ program at
this time.

WATER MAIN INFRASTRUCTURE DISCUSSION
As discussed above, failing infrastructure is one of the primary factors when considering when and
what type of street improvement is necessary. Approximately 62% of the city’s water main is cast
iron pipe and is over 40 and 50 years old. Although the water main may be aged, this may not
necessarily mean all the pipe is in poor condition. Replacing water main is expensive, and full
reconstruction is typically limited by the amount of water funding available.
One way of analyzing the condition is through the amount of water main breaks and where they
occur (see attached Water Break map). Since 2000, New Hope has averaged approximately 27
water main breaks per year, which results in high repair costs. As shown in the water main break
charts below, the trend is declining, which may be a result of the focus to reconstruct the streets
and replace the water main in the areas with a more extreme amount of water breaks.

CURRENT PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRESS – “WHERE ARE WE AT?”
Since 2013, approximately 38.85 miles of street have been improved of the entire City’s
approximate 65 miles of local and MSA streets.
One way of identifying the progress of the more aggressive pavement management program is
reviewing the past and current ratings, and more specifically reviewing those streets with a rating
in the “Poor Condition” rating (less than 60 PRI) or worse. Prior to 2013, 23.47 miles or 36% of the
streets were rated in poor condition. Although a city’s pavement management is never complete
or “done”, the city currently has 1.74 miles or 2.6% of the streets rated in poor condition or worse as
shown in the following table.

Agenda Title
Consider Letter of Support for County State Aid Highway 70 (Medicine Lake Road) Pedestrian Project
Requested Action
Staff would like to update and gather input from Council on the opportunity to issue a letter of support for
Hennepin County’s federal funding request for the future County State Aid Highway 70 (Medicine Lake
Road) Pedestrian Project. Staff encourages comments, concerns, and input from Council.
Background
As part of the Metropolitan Council’s regional solicitation for 2024, Hennepin County is submitting an
application to seek federal funding for a pedestrian project along CSAH 70 (Medicine Lake Road) from
Hillsboro Avenue to the east junction of Florida Avenue in the cities of Crystal, Golden Valley, and New
Hope. Federal funding through this process is available for program years 2028 and 2029.
The project would involve ADA upgrades along the corridor, pedestrian crossing improvements (where
feasible), and traffic signal upgrades. It is anticipated that the proposed project will precede an overlay of the
corridor in order to promote complete and green streets opportunities. The proposed project will
complement connections to nearby schools, businesses, and residences, as well as improve accessibility,
safety and mobility improvements for people walking, rolling, and biking; thereby enhancing the livability
and quality of life for Crystal, Golden Valley, New Hope and Hennepin County residents.
Hennepin County has requested a letter of support from the City of New Hope for this application and
project by December 1, 2023. The letter of support acknowledges that the city is aware of this project and
understands that the city will likely be required to cost participate in this project similar to previous city and
county collaborative projects. Specific details regarding cost participation and maintenance responsibilities
are anticipated to be determined during the design process as project development is advanced. A document
detailing the city’s anticipated financial commitments are included as an attachment.

Agenda Title
Select streetlight banner design concept for 42nd and Xylon avenues
Requested Action
Staff requests that the City Council select a banner design concept for the streetlights on 42nd and Xylon
avenues. Graphic design students at Hennepin Technical College created several designs as part of a class
project and city staff selected several preferred designs that will be presented. Staff is also requesting that the
City Council authorize working with MainStreet Designs Inc. to print the banners.
Policy/Past Practice
It is a practice of staff to engage in discussions with the City Council regarding branding efforts as well as the
use and maintenance of city property. The city promotes businesses, recreation, and amenities by hanging
streetlight banners along 42nd and Xylon avenues.
Background
At the May 15, 2023, work session, the City Council directed staff to work with graphic design students to
prepare a new streetlight banner design to be installed on streetlights on 42nd Avenue North between
Gettysburg and Louisiana avenues and along Xylon Avenue North between 42nd and 45th avenues. The
existing banners are nearing the end of their useful life and 11 new streetlights were recently added to 42nd
Avenue North, between Xylon and Gettysburg avenues, as part of the improvements that took place along
42nd Avenue North this summer. There are now a total of 53 matching streetlights on 42nd and Xylon avenues
that are equipped for banners. In October, staff met with two graphic design classes at Hennepin Technical
College to discuss the project and share information about the city of New Hope. Staff reviewed the designs
and selected several preferred options to be presented to the City Council. The designs can be modified if the
City Council has suggestions or requests.
Over the years the city has worked with several vendors to print streetlight banners. Most recently, MainStreet
Designs Inc. was used to print the banners that are installed along Winnetka Avenue North (not those on Xylon
Avenue North). The banners produced by MainStreet Designs Inc. have held up well over the last four years.
The fabric that is used has a “richer” look that is not as smooth as standard vinyl. The fabric is 11 ounces per
yard and printed on one side. Two pieces are then sewn together back‐to‐back, with a 10‐ounce opaque block
out layer in between to eliminate any transparence from sunlight. The banners have a three‐year warranty to
protect from fading and construction defects. All banners are coated with a UV protectant to prevent fading
and are double folded for extra durability and protection to the pocket stitching. MainStreet Designs Inc. has
offered to keep the price at $80 per banner ($160 per streetlight with two banners), which is what the city was
charged in 2022 when ordering several replacement banners. If the City Council is supportive, a motion
approving the banner purchase would be presented at a future City Council meeting.

Funding
Funding is available in the EDA budget to purchase new banners. With 53 streetlights and five extra sets of
banners, it is estimated that the total cost to print the banners will be $9,280.
Recommendation
Staff is recommending that the City Council select a banner design concept for the streetlights on 42nd and
Xylon avenues and that the City Council authorize working with MainStreet Designs Inc. to print the new
banners. If the City Council is supportive, a motion approving the purchase would be presented at a future
City Council meeting.

Earned sick and safe time as of Jan. 1, 2024
WHAT IS SICK AND SAFE TIME?
Sick and safe time is paid leave employers must provide to employees in Minnesota that
can be used for certain reasons, including when an employee is sick, to care for a sick family
member or to seek assistance if an employee or their family member has experienced
domestic abuse.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
An employee is eligible for sick and safe time if they:
• work at least 80 hours in a year for an employer in Minnesota; and
• are not an independent contractor.
Temporary and part-time employees are eligible for sick and safe time. Sick and safe time requirements will not
apply to building and construction industry employees who are represented by a building and construction trades
labor organization if a valid waiver of these requirements is provided in a collective bargaining agreement.
HOW MUCH LEAVE CAN EMPLOYEES EARN?
An employee earns one hour of sick and safe time for
every 30 hours worked and can earn a maximum of 48
hours each year unless the employer agrees to a higher
amount.
AT WHAT RATE MUST THE LEAVE BE PAID?
Sick and safe time must be paid at the same hourly rate
an employee earns when they are working.
WHAT CAN THE LEAVE BE USED FOR?
Employees can use their earned sick and safe time for
reasons such as:
• the employee’s mental or physical illness,
treatment or preventive care;
• a family member’s mental or physical illness,
treatment or preventive care;
• absence due to domestic abuse, sexual assault or
stalking of the employee or a family member;
• closure of the employee’s workplace due to
weather or public emergency or closure of a family
member’s school or care facility due to weather or
public emergency; and
• when determined by a health authority or health
care professional that the employee or family
member is at risk of infecting others with a
communicable disease.
WHICH FAMILY MEMBERS ARE INCLUDED?
Employees may use earned sick and safe time for their
following family members:
1. their child, including foster child, adult child,
legal ward, child for whom the employee is legal
guardian or child to whom the employee stands or
stood in loco parentis (in place of a parent);
2. their spouse or registered domestic partner;
3. their sibling, stepsibling or foster sibling;
4. their biological, adoptive or foster parent,
stepparent or a person who stood in loco parentis
(in place of a parent) when the employee was a
minor child;
5. their grandchild, foster grandchild or step-
grandchild;
6. their grandparent or step-grandparent;
7. a child of a sibling of the employee;
8. a sibling of the parents of the employee;
9. a child-in-law or sibling-in-law;
10. any of the family members listed in 1 through
9 above of an employee’s spouse or registered
domestic partner;
11. any other individual related by blood or whose
close association with the employee is the
equivalent of a family relationship; and
12. up to one individual annually designated by the
employee.
— more —
Earned sick and safe time as of Jan. 1, 2024
WHAT ADDITIONAL SICK AND SAFE TIME RESPONSIBILITIES DO EMPLOYERS HAVE?
In addition to providing their employees with one hour of paid leave for every 30 hours worked, up to at least 48
hours each year, employers are required to:
• include the total number of earned sick and safe time hours accrued and available for use, as well as the total
number of earned sick and safe time hours used, on earnings statements provided to employees at the end of
each pay period;
• provide employees with a notice by Jan. 1, 2024 — or at the start of employment, whichever is later — in English
and in an employee’s primary language if that is not English, informing them about earned sick and safe time; and
• include a sick and safe time notice in the employee handbook, if the employer has an employee handbook.
The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry will prepare a uniform employee notice that employers can use
and will make it available in the five most common languages spoken in Minnesota.
CURRENT SICK AND SAFE TIME LOCAL ORDINANCES
Earned sick and safe time local ordinances already exist in the cities of Bloomington, Duluth, Minneapolis and St.
Paul, Minnesota. When Minnesota’s statewide earned sick and safe time law goes into effect Jan. 1, 2024, employers
must follow the most protective law that applies to their employees.
