All right, item two: approval of the minutes of the regular city council meeting for May 14th, 2024. I would entertain a motion to approve those minutes. [3:45] **Council Member Bill Walsh:** So moved. **Council Member:** Second. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** I have a motion and a second. All those in favor say "aye." **Council Members:** Aye. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** Any opposed? Motion carries; minutes are approved. Adoption of the agenda. We have a couple changes. Item 8A, second accessory structure variance request for 4728 Stewart Avenue—for those that may be here to listen to that item, the applicant has withdrawn that application for a variance, so we won't be addressing that. Item 8A will be removed from the agenda and we are adding a new item, a new 8A, which is a proposed city council rules of procedure. If there aren't any other changes to the agenda, I would entertain a motion to adopt the agenda. **Council Member:** [Unintelligible motion] **Council Member:** Second. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** I have a motion and a second.

Visitors and presentations, item 5A: City Attorney recognition. Miss Crawford? [4:31] **City Manager Lindy Crawford:** Thank you, Mayor, members of the Council. I'm actually going to kick it right over to City Attorney Troy Gilchrist for this one, and then maybe we'll kick it back to the Mayor after that. [5:18] **City Attorney Troy Gilchrist:** Sure, thank you, City Manager, Mayor, and Council. Well, I want to announce—I think you may be aware of this—but I've decided to spend the last 10 years or so of my career focusing on smaller rural governments. And so I will be leaving the city and Kennedy & Graven to focus on a small firm that I'll be establishing to work primarily with towns and some watersheds as well. So I may still—I don't know—but I still may be working with VLAWMO depending on what the board decides moving forward. But yeah, I really just wanted to let you know that you are going to be in extremely good hands. Dave Anderson is going to be taking over for me; he's been with the firm for several years. He met with staff and the Mayor last week. He and then Bob Vose from our office will also be on secondary here to assist as well—both excellent attorneys, you will be in very good hands there. But I just wanted to quickly say that I've really enjoyed my time with Kennedy & Graven and with serving White Bear. It really has been a great time. You have wonderful staff, your leadership that you've had, and the two city managers that I've worked with have been outstanding. And really, as a Council, you really have functioned well, and I appreciate that because I can tell you I've been in other communities where maybe not all the time that's been the case. So I really do appreciate that, and I really will miss working with you folks. But I just decided that for myself and my career, I just want to try something a little bit different as I round it out—kind of go back home to where I started. I don't know if you know, but I worked 15 years with the Minnesota Association of Townships, so I worked for a long time training them, answering their questions, providing documents for them. So I just decided to round out kind of going back to that. So thank you very much. [6:50] **Mayor Dan Belisle:** All right, well, I have a few things to say. First off, you know, we're sad to see you go. We, of course, wish you nothing but the best and we're excited for this new opportunity. But I won't lie and say that we'll miss having you in that chair. For me personally, in the two and a half years that I've been Mayor, I felt very comforted knowing that you and your experience and expertise were sitting right at my side. Particularly when we got into some tongue twisters with the rules and wanting to wind that back—as you know, I've kind of dubbed myself the "process guy." That's important, that we do things in an orderly way, and that squarely falls to you, and you are kind of the resident expert on Robert's Rules of Order and process. And I have no doubt you'll continue to do that with the townships. So again, we wish you nothing but the best. We're confident that your replacement, Dave—who has very big shoes to fill—will serve us well. And we wish you the best of luck. And as is fitting in our community, you don't get to serve for the City of White Bear Lake without leaving without a bear. So thank you. With that, we'd like to present you with the bear that says, "In recognition of service to the City of White Bear Lake, City Attorney 2019 to 2024, Troy Gilchrist." So there you go, sir. Appreciate that. Put that in your new office. [8:25] **City Attorney Troy Gilchrist:** Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, much appreciated. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** Thank you. But wait, there's more. We do have a couple of—can we call you Council retirees at this point?—but that have decided to show up and wish you well and have a couple words of encouragement for you. So if you'd like to say a few words, please do so. **Jo Emerson (Former Mayor):** Thank you, Mayor. Good evening, Troy. I just want to thank you for everything you did. As the Mayor said, it's so comforting to have you sitting right next door. Your professionalism, your knowledge, your friendship—it all meant so much to me. So I thank you so much and wish you all good luck in your future endeavors. I know you'll do beautifully. **City Attorney Troy Gilchrist:** Thank you so much. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** Thank you. Who was that? An address for the record, please. [9:12] **Dan Jones (Resident):** Oh, Mr. Mayor, Council, staff: Dan Jones, 2181 Cedar. Yes, yes. Um, Mr. Gilchrist, thank you for your service. You made our city better through some very unique times that probably haven't been seen, at least in this city—although I did read about a police riot; kids, that's a story for another day. And with that, I mean, not only the time on Council, it was a value having you here. All you all know it—the comfort factor—and that will be hard to be replaced. You just can't walk away from that. And also with the service before on VLAWMO, I certainly hope you continue with VLAWMO; you're a valued asset there. Thank you very much for filling in because you really kind of just filled in in a time that we needed you, and it's like, "What are we doing? We don't need to look anywhere else." I think we can agree on that. Thank you. **City Attorney Troy Gilchrist:** Thank you, appreciate that. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** Thank you. [Applause]. Council, we're going to go eat cake. [9:59] **Mayor Dan Belisle:** All these years, you don't know that door doesn't open? I guess it takes a fourth or a fifth term to learn the doors around here. All right, well, we're not done hearing from you. We're going to get to a very important piece of business in item 8A when you share with us your brilliant new city council rules, so we look forward to that. All right, so more work to come. Thank you again, Troy. **City Attorney Troy Gilchrist:** Thank you all. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** All right, item 5B: the 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Miss Kindsvater, whenever you're ready, or whomever else is discussing. [10:47] **Finance Director Kerri Kindsvater:** Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, tonight we have Brad Falteysek with ABDO with us, who will present the audit report. He has a presentation and we'll take questions at the end. [11:29] **Brad Falteysek (ABDO):** Thank you, honorable Mayor, council members. I am here to present—do I just keep going? Okay, here we go. Um, so yeah, this is just a high-level summary of what was in the financial statement. If you have any questions throughout, you can certainly ask at any time and I can stop and answer them. But I'll just go through kind of our slides and certainly at the end you can wait for questions, too. So the first slide, this kind of just gives an overview of what I'm going to go through tonight: our audit results, then the general fund results (that's your main operating fund), other governmental fund results, enterprise funds, and then key performance indicators. Those last slides are where we compare your city to other cities of similar size throughout the state of Minnesota as well as in the county. First slide here is our auditor's opinion and Minnesota legal compliance letter. Auditor's opinion: we are issuing an unmodified or clean opinion on your financial statements. That’s saying that we believe everything in the financial statements is materially accurate and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. That's the opinion you're looking for when you have an audit performed. Arriving at that opinion, we kind of go on a risk-based approach. We'll look at higher dollar amounts, look at the aid you're receiving from the state, the tax revenues, your assessment revenues—make sure all those things are quoted properly and recorded in the city coffers. Didn't find any—we are not reporting any findings related to the financial statement, so that's good. The Minnesota legal compliance letter: that is a letter that the state auditor requires us to issue. They require us to go through a series of checklists related to how you're depositing your funds, issuing debt, making sure you're following specific state statutes, entering into contracts, construction-type contracts—those types of things. If there's any non-compliance, we'd report those issues in this letter, and we are not reporting any non-compliance with the information that we tested. So, clean reports on both fronts there. Now we get into the general fund results. [13:49] **Brad Falteysek:** This first slide is your fund balance compared to your following year's budget. You do have a fund balance policy to keep that fund balance between 30 and 50%. You finished this year at 47.7% of the following year's budget, which is actually, percentage-wise, down from last year. Last year you were at 51.2%... or 2022 you were. That just relates to your budget this year—your budget went up for 2024 by $1.8 million related to bringing the ambulance into the general fund. So really, that's where that decrease came from, but you're still within your 35 to 50% range, still following your policy. Next slide is comparing your budget numbers to your actual numbers for the year. You can see your revenues came in about a million dollars over what you'd budgeted for this year. A lot of that—you had Public Safety Aid coming in right at year-end; I think on December 28th, you had some Public Safety Aid coming in which, in the general fund, you deposited about $450,000. Along with that, your interest revenue came in much higher than budget this last year, and then also permit fees related to the school projects—those really amounted to the majority of that amount over budget. On the expenditure side, you see you came in about $700,000 under budget. A lot of that had to do with your police wages coming in about $370,000 under budget. So, kind of your main variances there. Overall increase in fund balance of $1.8 million. A lot of that had to do with those transfers coming into the fund. Finished the year with a $9.2 million fund balance. [15:21] **Brad Falteysek:** General fund revenues—this just shows where your revenues are coming from. The majority of your revenue does come from tax revenues. That's a jump this past year—you did have an increase in your levy, as you know. Everything else stayed pretty consistent. Expenditures—you can see these have stayed pretty consistent. Your general government has stayed consistent from year to year; slight increase in your public safety costs each year, as Public Works and Park and Rec have somewhat steady increases over the years. Then we get into—any questions on the general fund so far? Okay. Then we get into your special revenue funds. These are funds that have monies that are set aside because an outside party is restricting their use or Council has committed a purpose for these revenues. The American Rescue Plan—it doesn't have a fund balance because the revenue isn't recognized until you actually spend it. So that money is just sitting there as unearned revenue as of year-end. The other major changes: the Economic Development Fund had a $269,000 increase. You did decertify a TIF district this past year. When you decertified that, the remaining tax increments were returned to the county—about a million dollars—then the county takes that million dollars and distributes it to the contributing entities. You got about $270,000 back, which was deposited in the Economic Development Fund. The Marina fund had about a $100,000 increase; you did have a project that was slated to be done in 2023 that has been pushed forward now—the security gate project. [18:28] **Brad Falteysek:** Capital project funds—municipal building fund decreased fund balance $1.2 million; you did have bond proceeds received in 2022 that you're spending down in 2023. The HRA tax increment pool fund—that's where we decertified that TIF district, paid about a million dollars back to the county. Equipment acquisition fund—talking about that Public Safety Aid, you did put $654,000 of that money into the equipment acquisition fund this year too. Debt service funds—these are your outstanding governmental debts. What we're looking for is making sure those cash balances are staying positive and that you're having sufficient resources coming into these funds to pay your debt service requirements. Some of these are being funded with transfers in, which is why those cash balances aren't as high as others. Debt service requirements for the next 10 years are staying pretty consistent between the $2.5 and $3 million mark. [20:46] **Brad Falteysek:** Enterprise funds—these are set up to operate primarily on charges for services. You can see in the last three years since 2021, you have been meeting your operating receipts versus disbursements plus debt service. Cash balances have been steadily growing, finishing this year at just under $2 million. Your target balance is 1.3 million, and you can see your cash balance is above that. Sewer fund—receipts have been meeting your disbursements each year; cash balance increase each year. Refuse fund—this is pretty much break-even every year, as designed. Ambulance fund—you had a jump in your ambulance disbursements this year; there was a large allocation related to the pension allocation this year to the ambulance fund. That affected it quite a bit. Cash balance did decrease from 700,000 last year to around 200,000 this year; you did purchase that ambulance last year too. License Bureau—break-even each year. Pioneer Manor—receipts are meeting operating disbursements; you do have that debt being paid out of this fund as well. You're able to sustain around a $300,000 cash balance. Internal service funds—these are for insurance expenditures; set up to be break-even as well. Overall, total city cash and investments: in 2021 you had about $43 million, and in 2023 about $10 million more, finishing at $53 million. Any questions on any of that? [25:25] **Council Member Bill Walsh:** Well, thank you. The debt service on Pioneer Manor—what does that look like? What's the term? Where are we at on that? **Finance Director Kerri Kindsvater:** Mr. Mayor, Council Member Walsh, that was paid off in 2023, so we didn't... we don't have any more payments related to that. **Council Member Bill Walsh:** Okay, that was the final—that's what I thought. Okay, so we'll see a different number in 2024. And I guess, the $1.7 or so million dollar surplus... now the dust has settled. I don't remember, but did we plan for that coming into the 2024 budget? Is this more than we thought would be at the bottom line when the dust settled? Because we had to start this process in September predicting what we think might be on the bottom line. I know there was a surplus we accounted for; how close was that? [26:58] **Finance Director Kerri Kindsvater:** Mr. Mayor, Council Member Walsh, in our final budget, we were estimating it to have a surplus of $76,000. So it came up significantly higher, and part of that is because of the local government aid—the Public Safety Aid that we got. We have it budgeted in 2024 and it was sent to us on the last business day of the year, so we had to recognize it in 2023. **Council Member Bill Walsh:** Approximately how much was that? **Finance Director Kerri Kindsvater:** That was $452,000. So that was the Public Safety Aid. The permit fees—and we have a plan for that for 2024—the permit fees were $336,000 higher; there were some additional school district projects that came in. And then our interest earnings were $152,000 higher than we had estimated. **Council Member Bill Walsh:** Okay, interesting. Good. [28:35] **Mayor Dan Belisle:** Any other questions before we move on? Please continue. **Brad Falteysek:** Then we'll get into the comparisons. Tax rates: you can see you've consistently been well under the peer groups. Class 2 cities are populations of 20,000 to 80,000. We only have data through 2021 for the peers—the State Auditor's office doesn't think they're going to have the new data done until June. But you've hovered around that 20 to 25% tax rate, and you can see others in Ramsey County are at 31%, but Class 2 cities across the state are above 40%. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** Can you help me understand what that relevant percentage is? 20% of what? **Brad Falteysek:** That's your tax rate—what residents are being charged on their property tax value. The city portion is quite a bit lower. Property taxes per capita: you're receiving about $420 in 2023 per resident. Others in Ramsey County are at $581 and others across the state are above $526. Taking a look at your debt: back in 2020 you were at $660; with the debt that's been issued in the last few years, you're at $1,076—slightly higher than others in Ramsey County, but still slightly lower than Class 2 cities across the state. Debt service as a percentage of expenditures: you're at 13.4%, which is fairly similar to what your peer groups are at. Current expenditures per capita: you have seen increases over the last few years, probably mostly inflationary. Capital: this is informational. In 2023 you had quite a large project going on, so that had a big jump. That's our team that tackled it. [34:48] **Mayor Dan Belisle:** All right, very good. Thank you for that detailed report. Council, do we have any questions? **Council Member Bill Walsh:** Just, can we go back to the debt comparisons? We've resisted debt for many years, and then we've recently been taking on debt—first for streets, and now the building being built down the street. I thought we were still low compared to our peers, but it seems like we've sort of caught up. Are we catching up on debt peer-wise? That's what I'm seeing here. **Brad Falteysek:** As total debt, you are, yep. But your tax rates haven't been affected. You are able to sustain a relatively flat tax rate. I don't think debt is all that bad; you're doing good things with your debt. **Council Member Bill Walsh:** And did I characterize our debt right? I mean, is it really mostly the streets and then the new building? **Mayor Dan Belisle:** Just to clarify, you characterize it as we've "caught up," but we don't have 2022 and 2023 data for the peers, right? **Brad Falteysek:** Correct. You are still slightly under Class 2 cities and 20-30k population cities, but you're a lot closer than you were. [37:53] **Council Member Kevin Edberg:** Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I've missed you, Mr. Falteysek. Good to have you back. First of all, my take-homes: we ended the year with a positive fund balance, your audit was an unmodified opinion with no findings, low tax rates, and our bonding is quite small compared to our legal capacity—we're at about 2% of our legal limit. All of that is really good news. The thing I want to ask about is internal controls. In numerous places, ABDO makes the comment that you didn't find anything, but you actually weren't looking at our internal controls; you express no opinion on them. If you found something, you would have an obligation to report it. In your profession—I've been a part of a board where a high-ranking official made personal use of funds—how do we keep that from happening again? We don't have our noses in the books on a regular basis. How would we assure ourselves that our controls are adequate? **Brad Falteysek:** We do look at your internal controls; we just don't offer an opinion on it. We look at transactions for areas where one person handles everything from billing to receipting. Those are where we'd be bringing findings to the report. You do have adopted procedures in the finance group. We do observations and random samples. We didn't see anything that would have a significant risk of misappropriation. **Council Member Kevin Edberg:** You noted you were looking for "material" differences. For an organization of our size, how big is material? **Brad Falteysek:** It's different for each fund. In your general fund, it's probably based on the total assets. I don't recall that specific materiality level off the top of my head. **Council Member Kevin Edberg:** Got it. Thank you for your work. [47:11] **Council Member Bill Walsh:** If I could just follow up on something Council Member Edberg raised... I have no trust issues with our staff, but on this idea of checks and balances, do you guys actually see real bank statements—not from us, but from the bank? **Brad Falteysek:** We request from the bank to send us confirmations of balances at year-end. Yes, we confirm that outside. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** All right, any further questions? **City Manager Lindy Crawford:** I'll move approval of the resolution accepting the report. **Council Member:** Second. **Council Member Kevin Edberg:** I just want to compliment staff. An audit with no findings on $86 million of total assets—that's really good stuff and our community should take comfort in that. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** All those in favor say "aye." [Ayes heard]. Resolution passes. I'll echo what's been said—you have our absolute trust, and we thank our independent auditors for taking tabs on you. **City Manager Lindy Crawford:** Just in addition—that’s $86 million and that’s only five employees in our finance department. For the 26th year in a row, we received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, and for the first time this year, we received special recognition for our strategic goals. So, thank you to the finance department. [51:02] **Mayor Dan Belisle:** Item 8A: proposed city council rules of procedure. Mr. Gilchrist? **City Attorney Troy Gilchrist:** Thank you, Mr. Mayor. This is the project we talked about at your February 13th work session. The charge was to come up with a more manageable set of rules. Right now, the Council uses Robert’s Rules, which is a 714-page book where only two pages are devoted to bodies of less than 12 members. This proposed two-page set of rules simplifies things while covering the sorts of issues that come up. It covers voting requirements (majority of the full Council), the role of the presiding officer, and motions. I added "Substitute" motions and "Withdrawal" motions to clarify things we've struggled with before. I also clarified "Table" and "Take no further action." These rules are here to help you achieve the will of the majority efficiently. [1:01:03] **Council Member Heidi West:** Thank you, Mayor. I just want to make sure—when it says there is a motion, what you mean is it needs to be a motion and a second for it to pass? **City Attorney Troy Gilchrist:** Yes. **Council Member Heidi West:** And could you go over "Reconsider" a little bit? **City Attorney Troy Gilchrist:** Reconsider is for when you've passed something and later in the meeting—or the next—you want to bring it back. However, if the city has already moved forward on a contract and created legal liability, the presiding officer has the discretion to rule it out of order. **Council Member Heidi West:** Does that have to be on the agenda? **City Attorney Troy Gilchrist:** I would say probably yes, or you'd have to amend the agenda at the start of the meeting. [1:04:11] **Council Member Bill Walsh:** I think these are really good. One thing: the motion to table not being debatable. We tabled something at our last meeting and we debated it. I think it's okay to debate whether we want to table something and when we want to bring it back. I might suggest we take the "not-debatable" off of motions to table. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** I think that's a really good catch. I would be open to amending that. **Council Member Kevin Edberg:** Mayor, one other tweak under voting requirements: my memory says there was a topic about a supermajority for PUDs. Do we need to add language like "or specific Council action to the contrary"? **City Attorney Troy Gilchrist:** My recollection is we talked about that as a Charter amendment. **City Manager Lindy Crawford:** We were directed to run those concurrently with the zoning code and the Charter Commission. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** All right, I would entertain a motion to approve the resolution as amended to strike the language "not debatable" as it pertains to tabling. **Council Member:** So moved. **Council Member:** Second. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** All those in favor say "aye." [Ayes heard]. Motion carries. **Council Member Kevin Edberg:** Could we ask the City Manager to make copies and place them in our drawers? Laminated, bold font? **City Manager Lindy Crawford:** I literally just wrote that down. Yes. [1:09:37] **Mayor Dan Belisle:** Item 9A: on-street parking traffic concerns near North Campus. Mr. Copy? **City Engineer Paul Copy:** Mayor, members of the Council. Staff has received a number of questions regarding the parking and traffic circulation around the North Campus project. An extensive parking analysis was completed, but the site is still in flux; not all parking is up and running. Our intent was to review the situation this fall once everything is in place. One thing noted was potential parking restrictions along Bald Eagle. 9th Street and Bald Eagle north of 9th are County roads. Bald Eagle south of 9th is a City road. Currently, Division Avenue is "no parking" on both sides. 12th Street has time restrictions. We looked at Bald Eagle as a candidate for "no parking" on the east side for safety. However, no parking adjacent to residential areas is sensitive for guest parking. We also have the potential for permit parking like at South Campus. [1:17:19] **Mayor Dan Belisle:** This all kind of goes away temporarily once the kids are out of school, right? I've got an appetite to start putting "no parking" signs in, but I don't want to move without hearing from residents. **Council Member:** Can we "no park" a road we don't own? **City Engineer Paul Copy:** For the County's roadway, we would have to seek permission from them. Their Board would have to issue a resolution of support. **Council Member Bill Walsh:** I had a focus group at the coffee shop this morning. A resident on Bald Eagle said that when events happen, folks are parking on Bald Eagle because it's closer than the lot. We need to talk to the school district about wayfinding and education. **Council Member:** And I believe the biggest of the parking lots is not even built yet—on the Division side. **Community Development Director Jason Lindahl:** Mayor, Council. The neighbors have endured a major project for years. We are nearly to the end. Staff’s perspective is that we are really close to having a fully functional site. **City Manager Lindy Crawford:** We can absolutely ask the school district to provide temporary signage for their events. **Council Member Dan Hughes:** I guess I would request that by the second football game we're ready to turn and burn on something. I don't want to talk about this again in December. I'd like to fix it quickly rather than letting it play out into the winter. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** The reality is that for folks living there, things are fundamentally changing. This is the new norm. We'll be as responsive as we can be, but when all four grades are under one roof next fall, it's going to be different. [1:41:07] **Mayor Dan Belisle:** Item 10: Communications from the City Manager. **City Manager Lindy Crawford:** Thank you, Mayor. The medicine collection dropbox is back in the Public Safety facility lobby—business hours only. We are partnering for free curbside mattress collection in June on Tuesdays and Thursdays; schedule via the website. The County has an Otter Lake Road construction open house this Wednesday at Podvin Park. We have a ribbon cutting for the White Bear Area Food Shelf Community Market this Thursday at 4:30. "Custard with a Cop" is Thursday, June 6th at Culver’s. Graffiti in our parks has cost the city thousands, so we are closing bathrooms earlier. If you see something, call 911. And again, thank you to Troy Gilchrist—this is literally his last meeting. We will miss you. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** I entertain a motion to adjourn. **Council Member:** Second. **Mayor Dan Belisle:** All those in favor say "aye." We're adjourned.
