POLICE DEPARTMENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2019- 2023
Police Chief Johnson commented that the information presented would provide the
Council with developments within the police department as well as initiatives and
staffing going forward the next five years. Chief Johnson gave an overview of the
current staffing and organizational chart. Chief Johnson explained the options the
department uses to cover short shifts due to vacations, illness, family leave, injuries and
training mandates. The department schedules a minimum of three officers on a shift for
safety. Chief Johnson commented that crime is down and attributes that to public
confidence with the Hopkins Police Department and engaged employees. Chief
Johnson discussed the duties and additional responsibilities of the department staff.
Chief Johnson commented that it takes approximately one year to post a position, hire
and train officers. Chief Johnson discussed staffing adjustments and he is proposing
combining part- time positions into a full- time officer position. The budget shortage would
be offset by not hiring the position until April. The DWI officer position is grant funded
until October 2019 and the department would reapply for grant funding for 2020. Chief
Johnson commented that the department needs to plan ahead for appropriate staffing
levels and discussed challenges moving forward. Upcoming considerations include new
housing and the light rail that could add more calls for service in the community.
Mayor Cummings asked about staffing. Chief Johnson commented that the new
housing is factored into the additional officer request. Council Member Campbell asked
about the new software and different types of calls between cities. Chief Johnson
commented that staff could update the Council on call statistics. Council Member
Kuznia commented that it is important for morale to have adequate staffing. Council
Member Gadd commented that with the significant changes to the city it is important for
the safety of the community to be proactive with staffing.
Chief Johnson discussed the technology needs for the squad cars. The new mobile
data computers would 65, 000 and would increase the officer' s efficiency of data

gathering. Chief Johnson discussed body worn camera technology and costs. A public
forum would be required for the proposed body worn camera policy. Chief Johnson
discussed the data storage requirements, budget considerations and timeline. Chief
Johnson surveyed the officers and they are in support of body worn cameras. The
cameras offer transparency of officer actions, safety, security and oversight of crime
scenes. Chief Johnson also discussed officer training for crowd management, mental
health awareness and officer well being.
City Manager Mornson asked about the body worn camera policy. Chief Johnson
commented that the City Attorney would assist with development of the policy and the
department hopes to have a pilot program in place by summer 2019. Mayor Cummings
asked about the body worn camera technology. Chief Johnson commented that there
has been a lot of product evolution and advancement. Most of the surrounding
communities are going the direction of body worn cameras. Squad computers have a

life expectancy of five years and the body worn cameras have a 3- 5 year life
expectancy.
Finance Director Bishop discussed the budget. The total technology budget is less than
planned with a tested and better product. The data storage would cost $ 20-
originally
25, 000 per year with the highest amount of data storage.
Mayor Cummings asked about use of body cameras. Chief Johnson commented when
to use body cameras would be part of the policy development considerations.
Chief Johnson gave an overview of the department' s community outreach efforts. Chief
Johnson commented that the minimum officer staffing established for officer safety does
not account for all the additional community outreach duties.
Mayor Cummings thanked the police department for all they do.
CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF 2019 BUDGET, EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT PLAN
AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Finance Director Bishop discussed the staff report regarding the draft of 2019 proposed
budget. Mr. Bishop discussed the proposed tax levy for general operations and the
capital levy that funds projects at city owned buildings. Mr. Bishop discussed franchise
fees explaining that residential customers would pay $ 2. 60 with differing amounts for all
other account types. The City Hall project would be paid for with the increase in
franchise fees. Mayor Cummings asked if an increase in housing is factored into the
franchise fee. Mr. Bishop commented that it is currently not factored in.
Mr. Bishop discussed the Arts Center levy explaining that part of the plan is to eliminate
the deficit by 2024. Mr. Bishop discussed the Pavilion fund and Equipment
Replacement fund levy. Mr. Bishop gave an overview of the tax levy explaining that
levy increase of 16%. Mayor Cummings asked about the
there is a total debt
percentage increase. Mr. Bishop gave an explanation of the multiyear process to pay
the levy explaining that the taxes levied in 2019 are to pay for the 2018 bonds. There
was Council discussion about the importance of transparency and working on a better
explanation for the public regarding the benefits and impacts of the street improvement
levy.
Mr. Bishop discussed the 2019- 2023 Equipment Replacement Plan ( ERP) and Capital
Improvement Plan ( CIP) 2019 additions, projected levy and working capital balance. Mr.

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
Mike Mornson, City Manager
From: Ari Lenz, Assistant City Manager
Date: September 5, 2018
Subject: City Hall Project Update
PURPOSE
Wold Architects and Engineers and Krause Anderson will be present to review design
development with the Council.
INFORMATION
Wold Architects and Engineers and Krause Anderson have been hired on to assist the
City with the 2019 City Hall Renovation project. This meeting is to review the results of
the design development phase.
I have also attached the updated communications we plan to put in highlights in October.
FUTURE ACTION
Staff will be returning in November to approve final plans and go out for bids for the
project. Plans are for the project to commence mid- January through August of 2019.
Draft for Highlights
City Hall Renovations scheduled to begin in 2019.
We’re packing up boxes and cleaning out storage at City Hall to prepare for a remodel. In 2019,
Hopkins City Hall will undergo much-needed upgrades and a small entrance expansion to make
the front entrance of City Hall more noticeable.
City Hall was originally built in 1964 and some
areas were renovated in 1989. The 2019 project
includes renovations to the City Hall area (lobby,
council chambers, conference rooms and staff
areas), the replacement of windows, landscaping
and the roof.
A lot has changed over the last 30 years to our
operations and technology, and our physical
environment needs to be updated to better suit
the changing needs of the community,” said Rendering of Vestibule Addition
City Manager Mike Mornson. “ The renovations
will allow us to more efficiently utilize our space to serve the residents of Hopkins, along with
numerous other benefits, such as energy efficiency and improved security.”
The project also includes a small vestibule addition ( 300 sq. ft) to the main entrance. The police
department, which is not included in the 2019 project, was previously renovated when they took
over the fire department space and added their entrance in 2005. Since the renovation in 2005,
there has been confusion about where residents enter City Hall. By making a slightly more
prominent main entrance and adding additional signage, residents will have a better idea where
to find the services they are looking for.
The project is currently estimated at $4.5 million. To fund the upgrades, the City Council plans
to increase the City’s Franchise Fees for Xcel Energy $ 0.50 per month and CenterPoint $ 0.50
per month for residential customers (amounts vary for businesses depending on size).
Construction is scheduled to begin in February and is expected to take 7 months to complete.
More information about the project can be found by visiting the City’s website at

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
Mike Mornson, City Manager
From: Brent A. Johnson, Chief of Police
Date: September 11, 2018
Subject: Comprehensive Plan 2019-2023
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this presentation is to look at the various technologies/ equipment
considerations for the police department, along with discussing officer staffing levels and
community engagement initiatives for the next five years. This information will be covered
in a power point presentation, which will provide you additional insight into some of the
recent developments within the police department.
INFORMATION:
TECHNOLOGY-
The department is looking at an integrated body camera and squad car camera platform
for 2019. This technology requires a storage device for maintaining this data, along with
the ability to transfer evidence/data to prosecutorial authorities. We are exploring a cloud
based storage solution, which is less expensive than maintaining our own server.
We have researched the various camera solutions and have determined that WatchGuard
is the best option for our department.
We have a draft policy already developed and we plan to work with our schools,
community groups and MAC multi-cultural advisory committee to review this policy. Once
the draft is finalized, we are required to hold a public meeting to discuss this policy. We
will begin to pilot the program mid- summer 2019.
We are also acquiring new squad car computers in 2019. Our current computers have
reached the end of their service ability and are no longer under warranty. The final
products are under review and decisions have not yet been determined.
STAFFING-
The department currently is staffed with 29 sworn officers, one grant funded DWI officer
and nine civilian staff. We received additional grant funding for 10/1/2018 -09/30/2019 in
the amount of 126k to cover salary, overtime and training expenses for the DWI officer.
In 2019, we have the ability to apply for one more year of the grant, but it is not a
guarantee.
In 2018, we eliminated a part-time records position in our department after acquiring
Dragon transcription software, which has streamlined our report writing process. This
voice transcription software cost approximately 18k, which was funded through DWI
forfeitures, not the general fund.
In June 2017, I reduced one of my full time civilian PSO’s public service officer positions
and established two part-time cadets. This reduced salary and benefits by just over 40k.
These cadet positions allow our agency to diversify the department by specifically
recruiting minority candidates who may have an interest in law enforcement and train
them in our department culture and philosophy. We currently have one JCPP- Hennepin
County grant funded cadet and we just hired our first part-time City funded cadet.
In 2019, we are still budgeted for the part-time typist position and one more cadet. I would
like to combine this salary into one full time officer position. The difference in overall cost
with associated benefits is approximately 31k. If this position were approved, I would wait
until 2nd quarter of 2019 to fill this vacancy to not increase the 2019 budget. This would
bring our staffing levels to 30 sworn officers and one grant funded officer.
FUTURE ACTION
In 2019, when we begin to budget for 2020, we need to anticipate budgeting for the DWI
officer, so we do not reduce officer staffing levels. If the 30th officer is approved for next
year we will need to plan on budgeting the additional 31k for 2020.
By calendar year 2023, based on estimation of call volume, increased community
engagement, light rail transportation, and population increases, I anticipate needing 33
sworn officers to meet the needs of this community.
OUTREACH/ COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT-
Since creating our CORE (community outreach relationship enhancement) team in the
department, we have significantly increased our ability to develop relationships with all of
the community we serve. These relationships are crucial for the community’s support of
their police department. We have held numerous community events, educational forums,
and training demonstrations. In 2017 alone, we participated in over 265 events with officer
representation. These events take a considerable amount of time and resources and pull
officers from patrol duties to assist. The JCPP liaison and Hennepin County grant assist
in these outreach efforts. The JCPP program is currently funded through 2019, but the
future of the program is unknown at this time. These are additional considerations for
increased future staffing levels.

Mike Mornson, City Manager
From: Nick Bishop, Finance Director
Date: September 11, 2018
Subject: Continued Discussion of 2019 Budget, Equipment Replacement Plan and
Capital Improvement Plan
PURPOSE
To provide continued input and guidance for the 2019 Budget, Equipment Replacement
Plan and Capital Improvement Plan.
INFORMATION
2019 Tax Levies
The total levy being proposed for 2019 is $ 16,042,936. This represents a 12.8%
increase from the 2018 levy. The general operation levy includes amounts for general
fund, capital improvements, Arts Center, Pavilion and Equipment replacement. Debt
being paid with tax levy has been issued for street improvements, equipment
purchases, city owned facilities and Burnes Park.
There are 8 new requests that directly affect the 2019 tax levy:
General Fund
o $ 57,250 – New Parks and Forestry Worker
Estimated cost of $ 71,250 and reduction in part time salary of
14,000
o $ 37,500 – Fire Tables and Chairs
One time increase
o $ 25,000 – Comprehensive Plan Implementation
One time increase
o $ 5,000 – Four hours per week part time worker at Activity Center
o $ 5,000 – Additional transfer to Depot
Equipment Replacement
o $ 50,000 – Patching Automation Software
One- time purchase of software, annual maintenance costs of
10,000
o $ 19,390 – E-Mail Threat Protection
One time increase
o $ 19,000 – VPN Software/ Equipment
One time increase
2019 – 2023 Equipment Replacement Plan
The 2019 purchases funded through the equipment replacement fund increased by
82,990 from the 2018 – 2022 Plan. The IT department added approximately $ 90,000
of initial software costs for VPN, E-Mail and Patching Automation ( detailed in previous
section). The Police Department increased the costs of squad/ body cameras by
20,000, which was offset by $115,000 of savings in 2018.
The previously proposed tax levy of $ 250,000 in 2019 is adequate for this level of
expenditures. The Equipment Replacement Fund is projected to end 2019 with a
working capital balance of $41,007.
2019 – 2023 Capital Improvement Plan
The 2019 capital improvement purchases increased by $ 3,408,100 from the 2018 –
2022 Plan. The largest difference is the addition of the City Hall project, a net increase
of $ 4,042,000. The Capital Improvement fund added a $ 25,000 project to paint the
public works building. The Pavilion fund added a $28,000 request for a sound system.
The Capital Improvement fund has a proposed tax levy of $ 100,000 in 2019. It is
projected to end 2019 with a working capital balance of $205,853.
The Pavilion fund has a proposed tax levy of $40,383. It is projected to end 2019 with a
working capital balance of ($80,335). It would continue to have a positive net position.
Financial Management Plan
The Financial Management Plan was updated with the 8 new requests highlighted in
the attached form. City Taxes for a home in Hopkins would increase from $ 1,446 to
1,649 or $203 annually.
FUTURE ACTION
A preliminary levy must be adopted by September 30th of each year. The preliminary
levy is planned to be approved at the September 18th City Council Meeting. The
preliminary levy will be the maximum amount for 2019, but can be reduced.
A final levy must be adopted by December 31st of each year at or below the preliminary
levy amount. A Truth and Taxation hearing meeting will occur during the December 4th
City Council Meeting and approval of the final levy is planned.
