OVERVIEW In 2007, Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority (“HCRRA”) entered into the Agreement with the City of Hopkins and the Three Rivers Park District (TRPD) for the use of the Depot building for community recreation and education purposes. In 2018, the Metropolitan Council acquired the Premises from HCRRA for the METRO Green Line Extension Project and entered into an agreement with the City and TRPD which is set to expire on June 30, 2026. The agreement did not expressly permit the City from sub-leasing the building to another operator should the City decide to do so. Given significant delays in LRT construction, and the City’s initial desire to bring in a third-party operator into the space, the City approached the Met Council about updating the agreement. This update will allow the City to bring in another operator, as well as amends the agreement to be extended to the first date of revenue service operations for LRT. This provides a more flexible and accurate timeline for the sunsetting of this agreement. Tonight Staff recommends approving the attached agreement, which will then be signed by the Met Council and TRPD.

OVERVIEW For more than 25 years, the City of Hopkins with its partners, the Hopkins School District, Three Rivers Parks District (TRPD) and the City of Minnetonka have operated a Youth Advisory Board and coffee shop at the Depot building, owned initially by Hennepin Co. Railroad Authority and currently owned by the Met Council, located at 9451 Excelsior Boulevard. On March 4, 2024, Staff brought forward an update on this project which detailed the history of the property and the staff recommendation to move operations of the facility to the Art Center. This would expand programming, resume the ability to generate revenue through rental reservations, allow the re-opening of the space as a trailhead, and continue operations for the Youth Advisory Board. Since March, Staff have worked to estimate costs related to the renovations, and propose to amend the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to allow for two phases of construction occurring in 2024 and 2025. Following the refresh, operations could begin in October 2024. Funding for these improvements would come from American Rescue Plan Act Grants which were previously allocated for the Depot and partners have also agreed to help fund these improvements. The remaining costs would be paid by a fund balance in the Capital Improvement Fund. In September, as a part of the budget process, staff will bring back a more detailed picture of revenue and operations for 2025.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION • CIP Request for the Depot Remodel CAPITAL or EQUIPMENT REQUEST Blank Department Depot/Ace Program 2024-2028 Responsible Person Management Analyst PROJECT # 24-CIP-DP001 PROJECT NAME Depot Remodel and Upgrade Project CATEGORY Bldg: Depot Improvement X or Equipment PRIORITY 2 (1 High…5 Low) Useful Life 15 Years DESCRIPTION The Depot building is a renovated train Depot that has been operated as a coffee house and music venue. This remodel project would revitalize the building use by the Youth Advisory Board for programming and events, trailhead access, rentable space, music events and movie nights. Phase 1: 2024 Phase 2: 2025 Equipment ($4,000) New Tables & Chairs ($7,040) Window Treatments & Furniture ($10,000) Entry Door Replacement ($29,222) Signage ($5,000) Landscaping ($5,000) Painting ($9,000) Outdoor Furniture ($4,000) Entry Door Replacement ($22,000) Remodel Freight Room ($4,500) Remodel Kitchen Area ($2,300) JUSTIFICATION For 25 years, Hopkins, Minnetonka, Hopkins School District and Three Rivers Park District have operated a Youth Advisory Board and coffee shop at the Depot building. Even with financial contributions from all entities the coffee house operations have not been financially stable due to a number of factors including Highway 169 contruction, METRO Green Line Extension Construction and the COVID-19 Pandemic. The building is still routinely used for Advisory Events, students in the community in addition to bikers who desire access to the buildings a Trailhead. The project described above would allow for the space to be utilized for expanded Art Center programming, additional rental spaces, regular hours for Youth Advisory Board Programming and and provide limited trailhead access.

INFORMATION 2025 General Fund Budget and Tax Levy During the January 5, 2024 Goal Setting event, City Council directed staff to prepare budget proposals with a 9%, 7% and 5% tax levy increase when compared to 2024. The following proposals were prepared based on existing positions, general fund budget submissions & requests, preliminary equipment/capital requests, initial budgets for special revenue funds and debt service needs. The 2025 Budget includes salary and benefit increases for current positions. Other additions with tax levy impacts are: • Additional City Contribution to the Fire Relief - $96,000 o The City makes an annual contribution to the Hopkins Fire Department Relief Association. The contribution is deposited into a pension trust fund and used for retirement, disability or death benefit payments. An increased City Contribution would allow for an increase to retirement benefits. This is a retention and recruitment tool for paid on-call firefighters. o Budget request from Fire Chief is attached  • Youth Social Worker Contract with Hennepin County - $88,000 o This is a current contract that has been funded through ARPA grant funds. • Tax Levy Support for Parking Fund Operations - $75,000 o The parking ramp fund was historically supported by parking permits and other user fees. Revenue has dropped significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic. A tax levy is needed to support parking operations in 2025. • Tax Levy Support for the Communications Fund - $40,000 o The Communications Fund has operated at a loss for several years due to declining cable franchise revenue. A tax levy is needed to support the Communications fund in 2025. • New City Logo - $35,000 o One-time costs to redesign the City’s Logo to reflect the dynamic and diverse community Hopkins is. o Budget request from Assistant City Manager is attached • Planner Position - $40,000 o This is a current position that has been funded through ARPA grant funds. o The budget increase represents 1/3 of the position costs. The remaining cost is proposed to be split between the Economic Development and Sustainability Funds. • Maintenance Worker for Forestry/Parks Division - $30,000 o This position was funded in the 2024 Budget with a May 1st start date. Additional costs are for the annual salary/benefit cost. Proposed Reductions for an 8.46% Levy Increase are: • Use surplus fund balance in the general fund - $400,000 • Increase estimated Inspections revenue - $200,000 o The City has typically used a very conservative approach to budgeting for revenue. However, any of the current development projects could bring in revenue to meet this budget including Cassia Chapel View Care Center and any of the remaining buildings at 325 Blake. • Mainstreet Banner Pole Installation - $130,000 o The City currently has agreements to mount banners on private buildings, which have caused expensive repairs that the City was responsible for. The City may not have the ability to install banners on Mainstreet without this request. • Use ARPA grant funds for police officer position in 2025 o The City can use unexpended ARPA funds and “obligate” the cost of newly created positions into 2025 and 2026. • Increase Insurance Deductibles - $30,000 o The City’s general liability and property insurance deductible is $20,000 per occurrence and $40,000 aggregate. The estimated costs savings to increase to $50,000/$100,000 deductible is approximately $60,000. The remaining cost savings would be allocated to the City’s enterprise funds. The City’s insurance risk fund has a balance of approximately $275,000 that can be used for the increased deductible. Proposed Reductions for a 6.88% Levy Increase are: • Everything above • Phase Pavilion Door Replacement over Three Years - $92,500 o Initial CIP requests include a $185,000 project to replace aging entry doors at the Pavilion. The project could be phased over 2025-2027. • Move cost of Police Officer Association (POA) Contract - $85,000 o The 2024-2026 POA contract was settled at a higher rate than budgeted in 2024. Move the additional cost to the Minnesota Public Safety Fund. • Reduce City Contributions to Fire Relief - $48,000 o Increase the City Contribution to the Fire Relief by ½ of the request • Phase Street Light Upgrades - $75,000 o The 2024-2028 CIP includes $240,000 for street lighting upgrades. The project can be sized based on budget availability. • End Contract with Lockridge Grindal Nauen for Lobbyist Services - $20,000 Proposed Reductions for a 5.26% Levy Increase Are: • Everything above • Delay all street light upgrades – $165,000 • Reduce City Contribution to Fire Relief - $48,000 o Fire Relief will still receive a City Contribution based on 2024 Budget + Inflation or $69,000 • New City Logo - $35,000 • Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI) Budget - $25,000 o Reduce the DEI Budget from $100,000 to $75,000 • Contingency Budget - $25,000 o Reduce the Contingency Budget from $50,000 to $25,000 • Use DEI Funds for All Gender Bathroom Remodel - $10,000 o Initial CIP requests include design work for an all-gender bathroom at the Activity Center. Use DEI funds for this purpose. Financial Management Plan (FMP) Projections During the spring of 2024 the FMP and staffing needs were reviewed internally. The attached FMP summary includes the addition of 17 new positions between 2025-2029. Six of these positions have been previously authorized by City Council and have temporary funding sources through the American Rescue Plan Act and Minnesota Public Safety Aid but will require permanent funding. The six firefighter positions are based on the recently completed Fire Staffing Study. Three additional police officer positions have been added as placeholders while the Police Staffing Study is completed. The remaining additions are new requests. A more detailed overview will be provided during the July 16th meeting.  FUTURE ACTION A budget information session will be held on August 12 from 5-6 PM at City Hall. Details will be posted on the City’s website: https://www.hopkinsmn.com/466/City-Budget- Process. A preliminary levy must be adopted by September 30th of each year. The preliminary levy is planned to be approved at the September 2nd City Council Meeting. The preliminary levy will be the maximum allowable amount for 2025 and can only 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 is planned for Monday, December 2nd. The final levy is planned to be approved at the December 3rd City Council Meeting.  City of Hopkins DRAFT (8.46% Levy Increase) General Fund Revenue Budget July 16, 2024 For the Year Ending December 31, 2025 % Increase Department 2024 Budget 2025 Budget (Decrease) Property Taxes 14,511,326 15,613,880 7.60% Intergovernmental Revenue Local Government Aid 1,081,012 1,084,775 Intergovernmental Revenue - Other 797,000 810,000 Total Intergovernmental Revenue 1,878,012 1,894,775 0.89% Licenses, Permits & Fines Court Fines & Penalties 176,000 176,000 Building Permits & Inspections 563,000 693,500 Inspection Fines & Citations 3,000 3,000 City Clerk - Business Licenses 8,900 12,400 PD - Liquor, Animal Licenses & Penalties 101,800 110,150 Fire - Licenses & Permits 4,000 4,000 Public Works - Licenses & Permits 19,615 19,615 Planning & Zoning - Licenses & Permits 2,000 4,000 Total Licenses, Permits & Fines 878,315 1,022,665 16.43% Charges for Service Finance Department 8,500 8,600 Inspections 175,450 274,775 Police 35,000 35,000 Fire 10,500 10,500 Public Works 3,150 3,000 Activity Center 118,500 154,500 Planning & Zoning - 16,000 Total Charges for Service 351,100 502,375 43.09% Miscellaneous Revenue Franchise Fees 346,200 380,600 Miscellaneous 25,250 45,000 Finance Department 3,000 3,000 Police 500 500 Fire 3,500 3,500 Public Works 10,600 8,000 Activity Center 14,000 14,000 Total Miscellaneous 403,050 454,600 12.79% Total Revenues 18,021,803 19,488,295 8.14%  City of Hopkins DRAFT (8.46% Levy Increase) General Fund Expenditure Budget July 16, 2024 For the Year Ending December 31, 2025 % Increase Department 2024 Budget 2025 Budget (Decrease) City Council 133,033 156,598 17.71% Administrative Services 536,656 698,990 30.25% Information Technology 644,926 718,226 11.37% Diversity, Equity & Inclusion 133,530 132,000 -1.15% Finance 732,254 623,879 -14.80% Legal 250,000 265,000 6.00% Municipal Building 404,690 407,462 0.68% City Clerk 339,242 327,542 -3.45% Inspections 1,208,270 1,265,343 4.72% Police 7,185,841 7,604,164 5.82% Fire 1,709,014 1,982,178 15.98% Public Works 3,858,812 4,289,317 11.16% Recreation 276,441 276,735 0.11% Activity Center 554,334 636,049 14.74% Planning & Zoning 196,248 248,455 26.60% Community Development 129,312 125,357 -3.06% Tuition Reimbursement 19,200 19,200 0.00% Contingency 50,000 50,000 0.00% Transfer to Depot/ACE Program 60,000 61,800 3.00% Total Expenditures 18,421,803 19,888,295 7.96%  City of Hopkins DRAFT Tax Levy July 16, 2024 For the Year Ending December 31, 2025 Actual Draft FY 2025 Purpose FY2024 8.46% Increase 6.83% Increase 5.26% Increase General Operations General Fund 14,426,326 15,528,880 15,375,880 15,277,880 Capital Levy - 455,000 455,000 445,000 Arts Center 345,000 380,000 380,000 380,000 Pavilion Fund 440,000 541,000 448,500 448,500 Equipment Replacement 360,000 250,000 250,000 250,000 Permanent Improvement - 290,000 215,000 50,000 Communications - 75,000 75,000 40,000 Parking - 75,000 75,000 75,000 Total General Operations 15,571,326 17,594,880 17,274,380 16,966,380 Debt Levy 4,107,613 3,748,530 3,748,530 3,748,530 Total Levy 19,678,939 21,343,410 21,022,910 20,714,910 Preliminary Tax Calculation for a Median Value Home Actual Draft FY 2025 FY2024 8.46% Increase 6.83% Increase 5.26% Increase City Taxes $ 2,191 $ 2,312 $ 2,273 $ 2,236 Dollar Increase $ 3 $ 121 $ 82 $ 45 Percentage Increase 0.14% 5.52% 3.74% 2.05%  City of Hopkins 2025 Operating Budget Request Budget Request Title: Additional City Contribution to the Fire Relief Department: Fire Department Division: Contact Person: Fire Chief, Dale Specken Duration: One-Time On-Going Type: Additional Support for Existing Service or Program Item Description: The City makes an annual contribution to the Hopkins Fire Department Relief Association.
