Officer Peterson said he liked the two rivers that are in Anoka. Councilmember Wesp asked Officer Vegel about his favorite Anoka Halloween element. Officer Vegel said he liked the many events and how it brings many people to Anoka. Councilmember Skogquist congratulated Officer Vegel for being named officer of the year in his previous department then asked why they chose Anoka. Officer Vegel said he was originally from the area and knows Anoka is a reputable department and liked the camaraderie. Officer Peterson shared he attended school in Anoka and felt this was the perfect transition. Chief Peterson shared an update regarding last weekend’s tree lighting event that include more attendees than ever and commended the organizers and City for hosting such a successful event. Councilmember Wesp asked if there have been any issues since the highway construction project was completed with the roundabout at Highway 10. Chief Peterson said there have been more issues since the traffic control change but that people are learning how to navigate the change and noted winter will be good test. Councilmember Skogquist commended staff for working with the public so well at the tree lighting ceremony then recognized Officers Skinner and Berkner for their recent DUI enforcement. Mayor Rice noted most who get a DUI never get a second which ultimately reduces incidents of those driving inappropriately. He added Anoka Business and Landowners Association (ABLA) promotes the tree lighting ceremony and agreed this was a very impressive event and thanked ABLA and Director Pete Turok for bringing people to the City. 4.2 Highway 10 Anoka Construction Update. Assistant City Engineer Ben Nelson shared an update regarding Highway 10 construction. OTHER INFORMATION UNDER OPEN FORUM Jodi Anderson, Anoka, thanked the City for all the holiday festivities in Anoka but shared about the need for vomit clean-up on streets that regularly occurs after bars close in the downtown area. 5. PUBLIC HEARING(S) 5.1 2024 Budget and Levy Presentation. December 4, 2023 (Regular) Page 3 of 14 Finance Director Brenda Springer shared a background report stating the 2024 budget process began in June and was based on Council directives and the 2023 goal session. The proposed 2024 budget for all funds excluding the HRA component unit is $84,524,788 and the 2024 proposed levy is set at $10,147,307. The proposed levy is an increase of $1,701,802 or 20.15% above the 2023 levy. Residential property taxpayers will see an increase in City property taxes. The levy increase, along with changes in fiscal disparity contributions and distributions, changes in tax increment and market value all affect the tax rate and the amount of property tax levy distributed to individual properties. She shared further details regarding the 2024 budget and levy and said with the increase in the levy, the Council is able to cover all general fund operating, debt service payments and capital expenditures. Mayor Rice opened the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. John Blaha, Anoka, confirmed that taxes increase mostly due to market value. Ms. Springer explained how taxes are calculated and invited him to speak with the City Assessor regarding his specific market values. Mayor Rice added further comments about water consumption and rate setting and compared this to how taxes are calculated, which was based on value in comparison to the value of the entire City as well as cost of doing business. Dan Dahlheimer, 720 Benton Street, shared concerns about his proposed tax statement which was over 36.3% total tax and the City’s portion of $880 or 53%. He said that was a large increase in one year and said it seemed excessive. Councilmember Skogquist further explained how property taxes are calculated based on property values. Mr. Dahlmeier noted he was not receiving more services, water infrastructure, or streets for this increase and said if the City was trying to catch up that was fine but that it should not be done in one year. Dennis Taylor, 747 Washington, shared his taxes increased greatly and said if the City subsidizes Green Haven Golf Course they should contribute in revenue and suggested the property be used for something other than a golf course. He said Anoka was a small city and didn’t need to contribute to the already high number of courses in the State, adding the concern is not property values but what the City’s budget is. Mike Nagel, Anoka, shared concerns with the amount of property tax increase then spoke about property values for homes on the river going up 50% but that was due to land values, not necessarily the home values. He said he has always paid higher taxes but noted the number of people on the river as a percentage of the total number of homes in Anoka is 5% but they are receiving a 50% increase. December 4, 2023 (Regular) Page 4 of 14 Councilmember Wesp shared how property owners should address these concerns to the Board of Equalization in April but agreed the City needs to look at the budget for further cost reductions. An individual that does not live in Anoka, but owns rental housing property in Anoka, shared concerns with the proposed increase and how rental properties will increase more than anyone else’s. He said while he understood that values increase, they are dipropionate to the value and asked why tenants and rental owners pay more than others and if this will increase by 30% again next year. Councilmember Skogquist confirmed the rental property was an apartment complex and explained there was a larger increase in apartment values and noted while the values cannot be adjusted at this point, he encouraged him to contact the City Assessor regarding property valuations for next year. He commented about how it is difficult not to talk about both budget and property values and that Statute states values are based on sales, especially for river properties because people are paying more for river properties, then commented more about market value exclusions which will take effect next year. Mayor Rice shared past valuation and tax rate comparisons over the years and about the cost of business and substantial levy increase to help cover the prior 13 years costs. Councilmember Wesp said property taxes for the average home valued $310,000 at the proposed rate of 20% would increase up $170 per year and if increased to 15% would not make that much of a difference. Mayor Rice said the difference would likely less than $1 per month. Ms. Springer noted the levy would be lower as reductions had been made from the preliminary levy. Councilmember Skogquist said the proposed statement is already lower than the preliminary and noted Anoka County had a substantial increase as well of about 10.4% then shared that health insurance increases may be less which would decrease the amounts even further. Mayor Rice said there are large items in the budget including employee costs which will always increase and the focus should be to reduce spending or increase the value of the City such as building out vacant land to add value. Councilmember Wesp spoke about the importance of hiring quality employees to ensure good services to the residents which is becoming more challenging all the time. He said he did not want to diminish public safety, streets, park, or the electric utility and while he agreed we should try to do better with the budget it can be difficult. He supported having a discussion around Green Haven along December 4, 2023 (Regular) Page 5 of 14 with the Anoka County jail expansion and asked residents to share their ideas. Ms. Springer noted over 50% of the budget is salaries and benefits. Being no further comments Mayor Rice closed the public hearing at 8:21 p.m. 5.2 Water Utility Rate Increase. Ms. Springer shared a background report stating annually the City Council reviews the City utility rates during the budget process. This review process involves looking at long-term capital expenditures by annually updating the Capital Improvement Plans for 5 years out. For 2024, staff is recommending an increase in the water utility rate beginning in January. The City Charter requires the City Council to hold a public hearing on rate increases to allow the public to comment on the proposed changes. The most recent rate change was in 2023. The proposed rates will increase residential water $1.20 per month for an average user. Finance is also recommending rate increases for water for the next several years to pay for planned infrastructure improvements and increases in operating costs. Councilmember Skogquist confirmed the $1.2 million refurbishment was for Tower 2 in the industrial park and was paid from the water fund. Public Works Director Mark Anderson said this tower was constructed 20 years ago and had not been repainted since and that significant paint flaking and interior concerns were present and painting needed to be done. Mayor Rice opened the public hearing at 8:24 p.m. Being no comments Mayor Rice closed the public hearing at 8:25 p.m. 5.3 Sewer Utility Rate Increase. Ms. Springer shared a background report stating annually the City Council reviews the City utility rates during the budget process. For 2024, staff is recommending an increase in the stormwater rates beginning in January. The City Charter requires the City Council to hold a public hearing on rate increases to allow the public to comment on the proposed changes. The most recent stormwater rate increase was in 2021. At that time, rates went up $.35 per month. Finance is recommending an increase in the current rate to reduce future debt service needs and to provide resources for the street renewal projects included in the Capital Improvement Plan forecasts. Finance is also recommending rate increases for stormwater in 2025 thru 2027 to pay for planned infrastructure improvements and to fund the new River Restoration Fund. Councilmember Skogquist noted that while this increase will result in additional $183,200 in revenues all but $1,100 will go to the Metropolitan Council. He explained the increase was to pay for the cost of the service and included no increased infrastructure. December 4, 2023 (Regular) Page 6 of 14 Mayor Rice noted the City rarely has a sewer main break which is good and suggested was to save on utilities by monitoring water use during December-April when lawn sprinkling is not occurring. Mayor Rice opened the public hearing at 8:28 p.m. Dennis Taylor, Anoka, said he was astounded at the cost of water coming from the ground and how expensive it was to throw away. Mayor Rice said everyone is much more thoughtful now regarding how to treat sewer water now so when returned to the aquifer it is in much better condition than before. Being no further comments Mayor Rice closed the public hearing at 8:30 p.m. 5.4 Storm Water Utility Rate Increase. Ms. Springer shared a background report stating annually the City Council reviews the City utility rates during the budget process. For 2024, staff is recommending an increase in the stormwater rates beginning in January. The City Charter requires the City Council to hold a public hearing on rate increases to allow the public to comment on the proposed changes. The most recent stormwater rate increase was in 2021. At that time, rates went up $.35 per month. Finance is recommending an increase in the current rate to reduce future debt service needs and to provide resources for the street renewal projects included in the Capital Improvement Plan forecasts. Finance is also recommending rate increases for stormwater in 2025 thru 2027 to pay for planned infrastructure improvements and to fund the new River Restoration Fund. Mayor Rice opened the public hearing at 8:32 p.m. Councilmember Wesp made comments about areas by the river and water percolating ponds for filtering and how the Lower Rum River Watershed District cleaned up the river and provided much clearer water and supported this work. Councilmember Skogquist said street renewal projects create runoff and the importance of treating this runoff to try to restore aquifers. Being no further comments Mayor Rice closed the public hearing at 8:37 p.m. 5.5 Electric Utility Rate Increase. Assistant Finance Director Liz Douglas shared a background report stating annually the City Council reviews the City utility rates during the budget process. As part of the 2024 budget process for the electric utility, Council requested staff provide analysis of rates and impacts of rate increases. Council reviewed this December 4, 2023 (Regular) Page 7 of 14 information at a work session in October. Staff is presenting the increase as discussed to be effective January 2024. The City Charter requires the City Council to hold a public hearing on rate increases to allow the public to comment on the proposed changes. The last utility rate increase to consumption and demand charges went into effect in January 2018. A small increase to fixed charges went into effect January 2022. The purchased power adjustment has been adjusted monthly since January 2022 to reflect the actual cost from our purchased power supplier. She shared a presentation further outlining the AMU projections, revenue, rate study and rate increase history. Mayor Rice opened the public hearing at 8:44 p.m. Dennis Taylor, Anoka, shared comments about while this was only a 2.5% rate increase for electric he objected to the internal funds transfer to the City’s general fund and felt it was a lack of transparency for City spending. He said the City tax statement includes all spending and how this transfer reduces the possibility of deducting those funds on his income tax return. Ed Evans, 1186 Benton Street, shared comments about how valuations are determined by assessors but how the Council can work to affect the mill rate to reduce increases. He spoke about ways to conserve water and how taxes will go up because the legislature allows any government financed rent subsidy to receive a .25% tax reduction which resulted in someone else having to pay for the difference. He thanked the City Street Department for their Christmas tree decorating then said in regards to how the City gets billed for electric we belong to MMPA and hire a company to administer. He said costs come in when the base rate is established and costs are in the equipment and should stay in the electric department and not be used for other areas in the City such as Green Haven. He said he felt the City was in a predicament and have spent themselves into a hole then shared a letter to the Council from the Electric Utility Board that outlined no rate increases should occur until the cost of service study is conducted. He said City rates are always less than competitors but said that was not true because competitor rates were based on including capital credits. Being no further comments Mayor Rice closed the public hearing at 8:58 p.m. Councilmember Skogquist commented about electric transfers used to decrease taxes and if not, then this year’s increase would have been 7% more. He explained how utility profits can be used for items such as this by giving money back to Anoka’s shareholders as taxpayers, adding the increase is reasonable and still well under competitors. Mayor Rice added there are a percentage of rate payers don’t live in the Anoka which makes this rate increase even more appropriate, similar to the liquor stores making a profit. He said we’ll be spending millions over the next few years for December 4, 2023 (Regular) Page 8 of 14 infrastructure and if the rate study says rates are too high, we’ll decrease but for now we’re softening the blow for delivering the true cost of electric to homes. Dr. Evans said the City will likely have to bond for the infrastructure and the City should not wait until 2025 to do a rate study then implement as it should be done sooner. Utility Director Del Vancura commented how AMI meter installation will show power usage, peak periods, and include in the study what and when we need improvements. He added the communication is two-way so the customer has that information and can monitor on ways to reduce power usage. Mr. Taylor said it will be important to understand how much profit is from Anoka Electric and how many customers we have who are not in Anoka. Ms. Douglas said approximately 20% of the electric utility customers are outside of Anoka. 6.

The Aquatic December 4, 2023 (Regular) Page 9 of 14 Center was open for 82 days due to a delay with the pool floor renovation. The pool was open from June 7 to August 27. The 61 members on staff created a welcoming and safe environment for the nearly 46,000 customers. Of the 61 staff members, 31 of them returned from previous seasons bringing back invaluable knowledge, customer service, and experience. Overall revenue for the 2023 season was $415,099. Daily admissions made up the bulk of our revenue, with 22,669 paid admissions equaling $174,283. The 2023 expenses were $460,789. She reviewed season statistics the spoke about fee increases for 2024 and staff’s goals to retain and improve the percentage of returning staff and others, then highlighted other improvements made at the center including pool exterior and other projects. Councilmember Skogquist thanked for a detailed report and shared how the center was a value proposition and great amenity and service for the City then asked about the recent pool floor repair. Ms. Jenks explained the pool floor had been re-plastered which made it much better for users. Ms. Springer added all improvements made to the center were paid with ARPA grant funds. Councilmember Wesp said the pool was a gift in 1954 from Federal Cartridge and said the City has been a good steward of this resource that allowed so many to learn how to swim here and thanked staff for doing a great job managing this great asset. Motion by Councilmember Wesp, seconded by Councilmember Skogquist, to accept the Annual Aquatic Center Report. Mayor Rice agreed with the importance that everyone learn how to swim but can do so while still having fun. Vote taken. All ayes. Motion carried. 7.1.B. Park Facility Rental and Reservations Policy. Public Services Administrator Lisa LaCasse shared a background report stating staff is recommending changes the Park Reservation and Usage Policy for 2024. She outlined the changes in detail which included change of the rental reservation end time from 9pm to 8pm to address noise complaints regarding activities at Peninsula Point Park, enhanced language regarding the renters’ responsibility to clean up the park after use and explanation of when the key deposit would not be returned, additional fees charged, or rental privileges revoked as penalty, enhanced language regarding use of amplified sound after 8pm out of respect for the adjacent residents/neighborhood, updates regarding cannabis use and the new December 4, 2023 (Regular) Page 10 of 14 tobacco and cannabis free parks policy, and the consumption of alcoholic beverages in a park that is included in the social district boundary during the social district hours and dates of operation. The Park and Recreation Advisory Board reviewed and approved the recommended changes at their regular meeting on November 21. Councilmember Skogquist asked questions as to why park hours were being adjusted to address noise concerns and suggested instead focusing on amplification. Ms. LaCasse explained how reservations were for a block of time until 8pm and with restrooms auto locking at 9pm the Park Board felt shorter hours would move people from the park and decrease incidents of vandalism which typically occurs the later a park is open. Mayor Rice supported the change of hours to help park activities end earlier and be friendly to the neighborhood Motion by Councilmember Wesp, seconded by Councilmember Skogquist, to approve the recommended changes to the Park Facility Rental and Reservation Policy as presented. Vote taken. All ayes. Motion carried. 7.1.C. Tobacco and Cannabis Free Parks Policy. Ms. LaCasse shared a background report stating on August 7, 2023, Council was presented with the first reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 46, Offenses; Establishing Article VIII Use of Cannabis in Public. After a period of discussion, Council voted to table the first reading of an ordinance Amending Chapter 46, Offenses; Establishing Article VIII Use of Cannabis in Public of The Code of The City of Anoka Minnesota and directed staff to amend the City’s smoking policy and include use of cannabis in public spaces and add trespassing. The Smoke Free Parks Policy has been in effect since July of 2004. The policy prohibits the use of tobacco products on City-owned parkland, in park facilities, near playgrounds, athletic fields, or City property where signs were posted. Enforcement of the Smoke Free Parks Policy was implemented through voluntary compliance. Staff and the City’s legal counsel have made suggested updates to the existing policy that expands the prohibited use of tobacco products to include nicotine delivery through E-cigarettes and vaping. Staff has proposed the restriction of use of all cannabis products at the Aquatic Center due to the inherent risk associated with swimming, and suggests restriction of use by participants while participating in City offered programs at the Senior Center, and while physically inside park facilities or near entrances. Policy enforcement is based on voluntary compliance. Staff will be directed to educate the public about the policy and request of compliance, but violators who refuse to comply will be December 4, 2023 (Regular) Page 11 of 14 asked to leave the facility and may be subject to trespass action by the police department. The Park and Recreation Advisory Board reviewed a preliminary draft on October 17, 2023, and reviewed and approved the draft policy language at their regular meeting on November 21. Council reviewed the policy revisions at the worksession on November 27 with the request to add a statement exempting Green Haven Golf Course from the policy. She stated the Park Board supported the policy as amended and noted there was stricter language at the aquatic center regarding cannabis use and how the golf course not under the direct review of the Park Board as it was a separate enterprise. Motion by Councilmember Wesp, seconded by Councilmember Skogquist, to approve the Tobacco and Cannabis Free Parks policy as presented. Mayor Rice explained how if someone is using legal cannabis that they aren’t banned in all public spaces but just from the parks in an effort to keep parks free of smoke and vape substances. Vote taken. All ayes. Motion carried. 8. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATION None. 9. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS 9.1 ORD/Adopting 2024 Master Fee Schedule. (1st Reading) Mr. Lee shared a background report stating annually staff reviews the fee schedule and determines whether or not a recommendation should be made to the Council to adjust the fees that the City charges for services and licenses. Fees are to be based on the actual costs to provide the service, issuance/enforcement of a license or code regulation, background checks, materials, schedule, and time. He outlined the proposed fees in detail, including building permit fees which have not been increased for many years, electric department rates, parking fees and fines, special events, park shelters, aquatic center lessons, and assessment rates. Councilmember Skogquist asked about Anoka County parking fines. Mr. Baumgartner said fines were in the $25 range. Councilmember Skogquist said he felt the fee increase for aquatic center events that included the umbrella was still reasonable and affordable. December 4, 2023 (Regular) Page 12 of 14 Motion by Councilmember Skogquist, seconded by Mayor Rice, to hold first reading of an ordinance adopting the 2024 Master Fee Schedule. Upon a roll call vote: Mayor Rice, Councilmembers Skogquist and Wesp voted in favor. Motion carried. 9.2. RES/Amending the HRA Tax Levy Collectible in 2024. RESOLUTION Ms. Douglas shared a background report stating the Council must consent to any HRA levy prior to it becoming effective as required by Minnesota Statutes Section 469.033. The City Council approved resolution 2023-068 on September 18, 2023 consenting to the HRA adopting a levy collectible in 2024 of $437,798 but since has amended the levy amount down from $437,798 to $412,474. This reduction is the result of a change in the report used to determine market value. The original levy amount was based on taxable market value from the Taxable Market Value Comparison report, the amended levy is based on Estimated Market Value tax administration report. The maximum levy allowed for the Housing and Redevelopment Authority is 0.0185 percent of estimated taxable market value, or approximately $412,474. The HRA budget is included in the final 2024 City budget document. Motion by Councilmember Wesp, seconded by Councilmember Skogquist, to adopt a resolution amending the HRA 2023 tax levy, collectible in 2024 as presented. Councilmember Skogquist noted the levy of $437,798 was included on property tax statements and will now be decreased. Mayor Rice explained how the HRA is a great resource for home improvements and works on improving the City’s neighborhoods. Councilmember Wesp shared how seniors on fixed incomes can apply for low interest loans for home improvements. Upon a roll call vote: Mayor Rice, Councilmembers Skogquist and Wesp voted in favor. Motion carried. 9.3 RES/Supporting Pursuit for Local Road Improvement Program Funding for Reconditioning Local Roads in the City of Anoka. RESOLUTION Mr. Nelson shared a background report stating the Local Roads Improvement Program was established by the Minnesota legislature in 2002 and is administered December 4, 2023 (Regular) Page 13 of 14 by Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) State Aid for Local Transportation Division. Pursuant to Minnesota Laws 2023, Chapter 72 ~ H.F. 669, for this LRIP solicitation, $102,967,000 was appropriated by the legislation to fund local projects. LRIP grants may be used to fund local roads that have a regional significance or have a non-trunk highway component shared a trunk highway project that have local cost. He outlined the criteria for LRIP project selection that included regional significance, governing agency and public/private party support, expected useful life of at least 10- years, and the ability to address transportation deficiencies and/or improve safety on the local road. The proposed LRIP application will be for the reconditioning of local roads, which provide a local connection to the Anoka Enterprise Park between Thurston Avenue and the Trunk Highway 47 (TH 47). Council shall be aware, based on previous discussions from the Harrison Street Surface Improvement Project this past year, direction was given to staff to develop an assessment policy for the Street Surface Improvement Program. In 2024, staff will draft a proposed assessment policy for the Street Surface Improvement Program and present the policy to council at a worksession meeting(s) seeking input/feedback. After the adoption of the policy by the city council, it could then be implemented for special assessments on this proposed project for an additional source of funding. Councilmember Wesp noted he drove this area daily and this improvement is greatly needed due to the high volume of truck traffic.
