Rebecca Loader BY: Library DATE: 8-26-09 DATE: NO: Background: Staff is exploring ways to save energy costs at the Library. Before ordering replacement fluorescent bulbs, Voss Electric was contacted in regards to lower wattage bulbs. The representative, who had recently worked with the Minneapolis Public Library to re-lamp their downtown facility, referred staff to the Center for Energy and Environment (CEE), which works with Xcel Energy to provide audits and access to rebate programs. CEE performed a lighting system analysis and made a recommendation based on the findings. Analysis/Conclusion: The analysis recommended that the existing T8 32W 4' bulbs be replaced with T8 25W 4' bulbs, which are more energy efficient and provide the same amount of light. Four of the recommended bulbs were given to staff to use in fixtures to compare the amount of light produced. No difference could be observed. l. All lamps would be replaced. 2. Nine exit signs, which are original to the various construction times of the building, wouid be replaced with LED fixtures. 3. Three incandescent fixtures in the magazine storage area would be replaced with energy efficient fluorescent fixtures. 4. A11 prices are "turn-key." 5. Total cost of the project is $5,456.66 before rebates. Rebates of $2,084.30 would put the final cost at $3,372.36. 6. The payback would be 2.9 years, with an annual estimated savings of $1,171.22. Due to the low cost, energy savings, and payback of under three years, staff is requesting approval of the Xcel Energy project as outlined by the Center for Energy and Environment to replace all existing lamps, nine exit signs, and three fluorescent fixtures. The Columbia Heights Public Library Board of Trustees has reviewed the proposal and recommends that the cost of the project be financed from 411 (General Government Buildings). Recommended Motion: Move to approve the replacement of all lamps, nine exit signs, and three incandescent fixtures at the Library under the Xcel Energy project as outlined by the Center for Energy and ~nvironment, and tor tinancin~ to come trom iund 4ll (General Government Buildin COUNCIL ACTION: CONSERVATIONWISE fron, ~ XCeI Energy One-Stop Efficiency Shop Building Energy Efficiency Progra~n Lighting System Analysis Cost Saving Recommendations Customer Report August 16, 2009 Property Address: Columbia HTS - Library . 820 40th Ave NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 Prepared for: Loader, Rebecca Columbia HTS - Library 820 40th Ave NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 Ph: (763) 706-3690 Fax: (763) 706-3691 Prepared by Lighting Specialist: ce~cer tor Erik Ennen E~tr~>y and Center for Energy and Environment E°v"~°°me°t 212 3rd Avenue North, Suite 560 rv-vrv.mncee.org Minneapolis, MN 55401 Program Coordinatar: Cell: (612)819-7245 Phone: Fax: (612) 335-5888 E-mail: eennen@ri~ncee.org -Audits Kristen Funk Phone: 612-335-3487 - Financing Center for Energy and Environment Fax: 612-335-5888 - Contractors 212 3rd Avenue North, Suite 560 E-mail. kfunlc@rrulcee.arg - Rebates Mimleapolis, Minnesota 55401 Page 1 Customer Report (08/16/2009 l 0:16) Program ID# 31997 ~ CONSERVATIONWISE from ~, Xce/ Energy~, One-Stop Efficiency Shop Summary of Recommended Lighting Upgrades ~ighting Upgrades Estimated Estimated Costs Annual Savings Payback Total Installed Cost Befor~ r~bate $5,456.66 1 ' ~ ~ ~ ~ • • ~ , • $2 084.30 Your Final Cost AfrerYebate $3,372.36 $1,171.22~a~ 2.9 years b Rebate equals 38% of installed cost.

Hansen BY: DATE: 9/03/2009 DATE: Sackground: Staff continues to explore ways to save energy costs at Public Works. 33 Metal Halide (MH) high bay ligllts at 400 watts each currently light the main shop floor. Staff contacted the Center for Energy and Environment (CEE), which works with Xcel Energy to provide audits and access to rebate programs. CEE perforlned a lighting system analysis and made a recommendation based on the findings - report attached. The analysis recommended that the existing 400-watt MH fixtures be replaced with T8 36W 4-foot fluorescent bulbs, which are more energy efficient and provide the same amount of light. A sample fixture has been in place for the past several inonths and staff's response to the amount and type of light has been favorable. The existing MH have diminished over time and produce a slightly yellow hue light, while the fluorescent are a inore wliite light, providing truer colors. MH lighting also decays over time, decreasing the light intensity. The bulb cost for replacement is also approximately 50% less with fluorescent, per fixture. L Total cost of the project is $8,727 before rebates. Rebates of $3,667 would put the final cost at $5,059. 2. The payback would be 2.5 years, with an annual estimated savings of $2,037. Public Works 11as $6,500 budgeted in the 2009 Central Garage budget for overhead lighting replacement. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the replacement af 33 400watt Metal Halide light fixtures with 33 high intensity fluorescent lights, with funding provided through the Public Works Central Garage budget, 701-49950-4000, under the Xcel Energy project as outlined by the Center for Energy and Environment.

Approved this day of , 2009 Offered By: Seconded By: Roll Call: Ayes: Nays: Mayor Gary L. Peterson Patricia Muscovitz, CMC City Clerk ~~°~~ F ~ ~~ 1~ ~ I ~'~ 2~'~ ~ ~ ~~'~ ~~~~ ~ The budget message and document have been put together to comply with the City Charter and state statute requirements for providii~g budget information and adopting a proposed budget and proposed tax levy. Under state statutes the City ~f Columbia Heights lnust adopt a proposed budget and a proposed tax levy and certify it to the County Audit~or's office prioc to September 15. T1~e City then has until December 28 ~o adopt and cei-~ify a final budget and levy to the County Auditor's office. The final levy can be less than the proposed levy but it camlot be greater thail the proposed levy. Based on this, staff traditionally i°ecommends establishing a proposed levy that is adequate to cover budgetary needs with the ui~derstanding tl~at as the budget process is fir~alized, the City Council has the opportunity to reduce the fmal property tax levy. ~~e~~~~ ~~r~~~ The City of Columbia lHeights budget is ~repared and distributed ii~ a forinat that llicludes useful nai-~•ative i11fo1~nation tliat highl~ghts department activities, objectives, and budget suininary. This forn~at is designed to provide the user of the budget wi~h a more descriptive r~arrative explaining the highlights of the budget. Uilder this fonnat the budget is broken down into ten functional areas and is prepaied with a narrative budget message for each of these areas. When tl~e City Council meets with tl~e various depart~nents, a detailed budget workbook will be distributed to the Council for each of the functional areas. The worlcboolc is intended for utilization during the woz°lc session to provide more detail for eac11 individual budget. At the end of tl~e City Council budget review piocess, a suinznary of the budget will be asselnbled for distribution to the public at the City's Truth in Taxatiolz hearing, which is generally held tlle first Moilday of December, one week prior to the adoption of tl~e budget. ~~€~~~~ ~~~~r~~~ f~~~~~~°rr° ~~,~~ Iazf~~r°r~rrrtz!~r7 In tl~e 1970's tl~e state legislature passed legislation that created LGA to cities. With this lebislation a fonnula was developed to dis~ribute the aid to cities based on need and otl~er factors. Tluoughout tl~e years tl~e LGA forinula was very beneficial to the City of Columbia Heigl~ts. By 2003, the City's certified LGA was $2,651,999 or 30% of the City's Gei~eral Fu11d revenue. At this point, the City had become veiy reliailt on LGA to cover the costs of basic, essential services such as police, fire and public works. In 2003 when the governoi• and state legislatuie made significant reductions to LGA, it was devastating to cities such as Columbia Heights who were relia~nt on this aid for essential services. The alternative cities had ~~vas to increase property tax levies to maintain the current service level or cut essential services. During the period of tiine from 2003 to 2008 the City's LGA dropped froin $2,651,999 to $921,280, a reduction of $1,730,'719. During this same period of time property tax levies ~~vere increased to offset the loss in LGA. For 2009 the City's certified LGA was $1,425,338; however, the City has been informed that the 2009 LGA will be reduced by at least $302,379. With the state's ongoing budget deficit we are anticipating that the actual loss in LGA will be reduced even further before we receive our final payment in December. The City is allowed to malce up for lost LGA through special levies. There are also special levies t11aC apply to Columbia Heights for debt service and increased public safety personnel costs. 2~~~ ~~c~~~~ N~~~I~~~~~ Thc attached detail budget pages cover the recoininended increases and decreases to the various budgets. In sumrnary, the department proposed 2010 budget for the General Fund, Library Fund and the EDA levy is $10,897,205, which is under both the 2009 budget and the goals established for the 2010 budget. With the large State of Mimlesata deficit and the anticipation of a major loss in LGA for 2009 and 2010, the 2010 budget process was started very early. Staff inet with the City Council at a work session on April 6 to present the basic plan of a four-year budget that would include a reduction of expenses, a reduction of several city services, and a four-year levy plan that would eliminate the reliance on LGA for the City's general operating budget by the year 2013. On the expenditure side, tlle starting point was based on the 2008 adopted blidget. It should be noted that the 2008 adopted budget for the General Pund, the Library Fund and the EDA levy only increased by 33% froin the adopted 2003 budget. Subsequently, the starting point for the 2010 budget has only seen rninimal increases that are far below the cost of living for the five-year period froin 2003-2008. This brought the starting point for the 2010 budget to $10,233,657. We added $385,000 to this ainount to cover utilities and maintenance expenses for the new gymnasium and new Public Safety building. The only other addition was $341,454 to cover cost of living pay increases that had already Ueen approved by the City CounciL This brought the cap for the 2010 budget to $10,960,111. The actual Department/City Manager proposed budget for 2010 is $10,897,205, which is $62,906 under the preliminary goal for 2010. On the revenue side we looked at the priinary goal of developing a revenue stream that would enable the City to eliininate its dependence on LGA for general operations. This will be accoinplished with a four-year levy plan that sees significant decreases each year in the amount of the levy illcrease for general operations. In 2010 the levy wauld increase by 10.88%, in 2011 it would increase by 8%, and by 6.35% in 2012. Tn the year 2013 the City would l~o longer be reliai~t on any LGA for general operations. In that year the levy is projected to increase by 4.98%. The plan also is dependent upon using slightly under $800,000 in fund balance for the years 2010 and 2011 and then seeing slight increases to fiind balance in 2012 and 2013. Altl~ougl~ tllis may appear to be a large levy increase in 2010, it does accomplish the goal of becoming independent from LGA within four years. Any LGA received that is in excess of t11e ainount in the budget plan could be utilized to reduce the debt service levy, wllich wauld result in a direct reductior~ of ~roperty taxes. Future LGA could also be dedicated to other uses such as creating a capital building fuild for the future replaceinent of city facilities and infrastructure. The bottoin line is that the budget that is being presented to the City Council is well within the parame~ers established in the four-year plan as it was discussed with the City Council at the work sessioiis of Apri1 6, May 4, and at the regular CiCy Council meeting on May 11, 2009. The four-year budget plan is attached to this message, as it is a significant part of tlie budget document. Also attached is a copy of Standard and Poor's recent bond rating for the City of Columbia Heights. Our bond rating was upgraded two steps froin an A-1 ta an AA rating. In the rating upgrade Standard and Poar's assessed the City's management practices and policy and rated them "good." A strang factor in the assessment was that the City had a four-year budget plan to deal with the loss of LGA and a long-range p1a11 to maintain lllfrast~ucture and essential services. CITY OF COL UMBIA HEIGHTS DATE: MAY 7, 2009 TO: THE HONORABLE GARY PETERSON CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TAMI DIEHM BRUCE KELZENBERG BRUCE NAWROCKI BOBBY WILLIAMS FROM: WILLIAM ELRITE FINANCE DIRECTOR RE: PREPARING FOR THE 2010 BUDGET (Page 1 of 2) At the work session on May 4`h staff handed out infonnation related to the preparation of the 2010 budget. Included in this was historic inforlnatioli iegarding ~he budget, local government aid (LGA}, levies, and past properiy tax increases. It should first be iloted that this presentation only dealt with tl~e city property tax levy t11at appears on tl~e praperty tax statements as the city levy. The presentation did not include the school levy, the county levy, the city HRA levy or the county IIR~ levy for the city. The reason for concentratiilg on the city portioil of the levy is that this is the prunary ful~ding for the General and Library funds. The HRA levies are separate levies used primarily for redevelopment ~vithin the city. As these are separate levies far a specific purpose t1~ey caz~ be dealt with more efficiently at another tiine. Page 1 of the document shows the Generai and Library fund budgets for 2003 with a comparison to 2008 and a proposed 2010 funding level. It also shows the amount of persomlel expenses along with the percent of the budget that makes up personnel. The largest departments, such as Police and Fire, have 91% and 90% of their budget in perso11ne1 costs. Subsequently it is very difficult to reduce budgets without reducing personnel and services provided. The reason for using the 2003 adopted budget as a basis is that it is our higl~est-level budget and it is the year that the state begail to significantly reduce LGA. The next column shows the 2008 adopted budget. As you ca11 see, t11e 2008 budget only increased by $317,635 over the 2003 budget. This is a 3.3% increase in expenditures over a five-year period. Staff is proposing that this be used as the basis for the 2010 budget. The next colwnn shows the 2008 budget plus City Council approved pay increases tl~rough 2010. Using this coluinn as the starting point in the preparation of the 2010 budget we would be freezing expenditures at the 2008 level with the exception of the approved pay increases. The next section, lines 34-37, shows the projection of utilities for the new gyinnasium and public safety building as an addition to t11e base budget for 2010. The bottonl section of this form, lines 39-48, i~eflects the projected revenues for 2010 through 2013 for the start of a four-year budget plan. The ~rimary goal of this plan is to no langer be dependent on LGA as a funding source for general operations. As you can see, in 2013 the projected LGA for general operations is zero. Line 45 shows tl~e effect this l~udget plan has on fund balance. Iiz 2010 we would be utilizing $689,489 of fund balance. Iiz 2011 the fund balai~ce used is $99,090, then in 2012 and 2013 we begin a slow rebuilding of fund balailce. The Page Twa boYtom twa Iiiles show the percent and ainaunt of inflatrorz that is built into these budgets. The year 2010 has zero inflation, 2011 has 1%, and 2012 and 2013 have 2% ll~flation. Page 2 sho~~s the history of the city levy and what we have received in LGA fron12003 through projected 2010. The top portion shows the years ai~d our certified LGA and the cuts that we have received. As you can see, on line 16 the total lost LGA froin 2003 tl~rough projected 2010 is $12,020,989. When you go to the bottoln section of the chart it sho~~s our levy 1listory for the same period of time. Here, again, on the bottom yau can see that the total revenue gained through increased property tax levies is $12,806,045, wl~ich does fully offset the lost LGA. The main point of this chart is that it shaws that our property tax levies have basically covered and made up for the lost LGA. The last four columns on the bottom section of the chart show the percent of increase in the levy for 2003 through 2010. As you can see, our levy increases were lligh in 2004 and 2005 to inake up for lost LGA and then decreased significantly. Likewise, the current faur-year budget plan has the largest levy increase in the firs~ year. Page 3 shows the four-year levy plan. In this plan 2010 is the heaviest year as it covers the new expenses for the gyn7nasium and public safety building as well as additional bonding to cover the Murzyn Hall unprovements and tl~e new public safety building. In ~he years 2011 thraugh 2013 tl~e levy is illcreased only to replace lost LGA and to begin replacing fund balance used in 2010 and 2011. The two bottom sections of the chart reflect the levy increases broken dou~n far general aperations and for debt. Lines 27 and 28 reflect the fund balance changes and tt~e total percent of levy increase for the four years. Following this plan through to 2013 will result in 2013 having a property tax levy increase of less than 5% and an increase ta fund balance af slightly over $100,000. One of the key points of this budget plan is to remove the reliance on LGA for general operations. The plan is based on receiving and using $425,338 in LGA for years 2010 thraugh 2013. However, there is a possibility that wa cauld receive mare LGA in these years. If this holds true, any additional LGA tl~at is received can be used to reduce the city's debt levy or put aside in a capital building replacement fund. Any portion that is used to reduce the debt levy will result i~i a direct property tax savings to the residents. For exainple, in 2010 the plan projects that we will reeeive $425,338 in LGA. If' tl~e city receiaes more than that, a11 or a portion of it can be used ta reduce the debt levy, which will result in a reduction of the total city property taxes to the residents. Additional LGA of $300,000 would reduce the levy by approximately 4%. Based on the discussio~ls at t11e work sessions, staff will stal~t preparation of t11e 2010 budget based on this four-year ~lan.
