DATE: July 1998
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Steven C. Mielke, City Manager
SUBJECT: 1999-2003 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
With this letter, I respectfully submit the 1999-2003 Capital Improvement Plan. This five-
year planning document represents the combined efforts of city staff, advisory
commissions, citizens, and the City Council.
The Capital Improvement Plan is a five-year forecast of project needs in the City of
Hopkins. It is intended to alert the Council and citizens to the major capital needs on the
horizon. The first year of the plan becomes an adopted capital budget and relates almost
completely to the operating budget that is approved on a yearly basis. The remaining
four years represent an estimate of project needs and funding capabilities of the city. In
previous plans an explanation of five-year equipment needs was also included. This
year's plan does not include proposed equipment purchases. A document relating
specifically to equipment replacement needs has been developed into a separate
document.
The Capital Improvement Plan is intended to serve as a planning tool and is therefore
structured to present a meaningful, long-range perspective of the city's capital
programming needs. At the same time, sufficient project detail is provided to enable
those who review the information to make informed decisions on the programming of
projects over the next several years.
Please use the information provided to formulate plans, projects, and questions. The
Capital Improvement Plan can serve the community best by provoking thoughts and
actions.
This document was developed by the City Manager's Office with the assistance of all city
departments.
I wish to thank all those involved in the development of the Capital Improvement Plan,
and especially Steve Stadler, Public Works Director; Jim Gessele, Engineering
Supervisor; Jim Kerrigan, Planning and Economic Development Director; Lori Yager,
Finance Director; and Bish Johnson, Administrative Assistant, for their hard work and
dedication.

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The Capital Improvement Plan is a flexible plan based upon long-
range physical planning and financial projections, which schedules
the major public improvements that may be incurred by the City
over the next five years . Flexibility of the Capital Improvement
Plan is established through annual review, and revision if
necessary. The annual review assures that the program will become
a continuing part of the budgetary process and that it will be
consistent with changing demands as well as changing patterns in
cost and financial resources . Funds are appropriated only for the
first year of the program, which is then included in the annual
budget .
The Capital Improvement Plan serves as a tool for implementing
certain aspects of the City' s comprehensive plan, therefore, the
program describes the overall objectives of City development, the
relationship between projects with respect to timing and need, and
the City' s fiscal capabilities .
The Capital Improvement Plan can help assure :
1 . A systematic approach to planning and initiating capital
projects affording the opportunity to plan the location,
timing, and financing of needed public improvements;
2 . The development of a realistic program of capital spending
within the City' s projected fiscal capability to finance such
projects, avoiding sharp change in the tax levy or bonded
indebtedness;
3 . The coordination of public and private improvement projects
permitting adequate time for design and engineering to
eliminate duplication of effort and expense;
4 . The expenditure of public funds that are compatible with the
City' s adopted Comprehensive Plan;
5 . That the public is kept informed of the proposed future
projects and expenditures;
6 . That private investors are aware of the City' s long-range
development program so that they may guide their development
in a way that is compatible with the City' s program;
7 . Aid in achieving federal and/or state participation by
providing the necessary planning and lead time necessary for a
successful application in addition to meeting prerequisites
needed for certain federal and state grants .

CIP SOURCES OF FUNDING
In order to fund the anticipated Capital Improvements, the City
must draw upon a variety of sources . Many of these sources have a
specific or "dedicated" purpose (i . e . , the water utility fund will
finance water main installation but not a street overlay) .
Therefore, it is important to identify the uses and limitations of
the various revenue sources .
CURRENT REVENUES - GENERAL FUND (C.R. )
This represents funding from current year revenue collections in
the General Fund which support operations and capital outlay
expenditures . Revenue sources include property tax levies, state
aid payments, and various permit and license fees . This source of
funding is generally used only for operations and small capital
purchases .
GENERAL FUND RESERVES (G.R. )
Reserves of the general fund are the funds remaining after
subtracting cash flow and emergency amounts from the City' s cash
balance, sometimes referred to as "fund balance" . The use of
General Fund Reserves is not recommended for Capital Improvements
without significant staff and Council review.
CABLE TELEVISION FUND (C .T. )
This funding source consists of franchise fees received from
Paragon Cable TV, in excess of the amounts earmarked for the
access programming and commission budgets . Expenditures are
limited to cable-related facilities, or must have a cable related
purpose .
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND (E.D. )
This funding source was established by the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and the City of Hopkins, to provide
funding for the purpose of promoting development and redevelopment
within the City. The Economic Development fund is a revolving
10
fund administered by the HRA, intended to provide an ongoing
funding source used to reduce or extend the long term debt
involved with development and redevelopment activities . The HRA
reviews all proposed uses of this fund on an individual basis .
GRANT-IN-AID (G.A. )
This is aid received from either the Federal or State government .
In many cases, grants are made on matching basis, which means the
City shares a portion of the costs of the project being funded.
MUNICIPAL STATE AID STREETS (M. S . )
This funding source represents funds received from the State of
Minnesota to support construction and maintenance of State Aid
classified municipal streets . State law defines the types and
limits of State Aid Streets expenditures .
PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT REVOLVING/GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS (P. I . )
Improvements with a life of several years may be financed from the
proceeds of a General Obligation Bond Issue . The total debt that
can be incurred under this method of financing is limited by law.
With some exception, General Obligation Bonds are generally
subject to a referendum process . Examples of projects which may
not require a referendum are those financed through the use of
special assessments where at least 20 percent of the project cost
is assessed to the benefiting property owners . The remaining
portion not assessed can be financed through general obligation
bonds repaid by a tax levy.
PRIVATE SECTOR FUNDING (P. F. )
This funding source consists primarily of payments made by
developers for the purchase of land, the installation of water,
sewer, or streets or other related expenditures . It can also
refer to donations made to the City by individuals or groups .
11
REVENUE BONDS (R.B. )
These are bonds issued for improvements made for a specific
revenue producing facility or operation. The debt incurred is
repaid from the revenue generated by the facility. If the revenue
generated is insufficient then the difference becomes an annual
obligation of the taxpayers and becomes an additional tax levy.
These are generally not subject to referendum.
REAL ESTATE SALES FUND (R.E. )
This funding source consists primarily of funds built up from the
sale of city owned property. To date, the fund has been used for
building improvements . Because the sale of both general City
property and park/recreation property are accumulated into this
fund, earmarking a portion for recreational purposes may be
justified.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT (S .A. )
A number of projects may be realistically financed using Special
Assessment to pay the ultimate cost . Almost any project can
potentially be financed using the assessment process . In each
case it is necessary to make a determination that the assessed
property will benefit by the amount of the assessment .
The cost of street reconstruction is shared 70% by the property
owner and 30% by the City. Concurrent improvement costs to the
utility systems are assumed by the respective utility funds .
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (T. F. )
This funding source results from the tax value of new development
that is "incrementally" greater than the existing tax value .
Typically, bonds are sold based on the assumption that the higher
tax receipts will retire the bonds . However, the use of TIF funds
through a "pay as you go" method has become more common. This
type of funding can be used for public improvements within a
redevelopment district to support the goals of redevelopment,
specifically the elimination of blighted conditions . Approval of
the Hopkins HRA should be anticipated prior to the commitment of
these funds . State law strictly regulates the use of these funds .

SANITARY SEWER FUNDS (S .F. )
Sanitary sewer funds consist of revenue generated from charges
made for sewage disposal . The cost of operations plus system
(capital) improvements determines the ultimate charge levied for
the service provided.
WATER FUNDS (W. F. )
Water funds consist of revenue generated from the sale of water.
The cost of operations plus system (capital) improvements
determines the ultimate charge levied for the service provided.
STORM SEWER UTILITY REVENUES (S .U. )
Storm sewer funds consist of revenue generated by charging storm
water drainage fee to parcels of land for the availability and use
of municipal storm sewer facilities . Expenditures from this
funding source are related to drainage facilities .
OTHER GOVERNMENTAL UNITS (G.U. )
These are funds received from Hennepin County, adjacent
communities, etc . for projects that also benefit a jurisdiction
other than the City of Hopkins .
REFUSE FUND (R. F . )
Refuse funds consist of revenues generated from collection fees,
(bulk pickup and weekly collections) recycling fees, and recycling
and composting grants from Hennepin County. Revenues are used to
support the City' s refuse collection services as well as its
recycling program. The cost of operations plus system (capital)
improvements determines the charge for the services provided.
PAVILION FUND (P.A. )
Pavilion Funds consist of revenues generated from rental fees
collected from users of the Pavilion. These funds are utilized to
pay for operating, and capital expenditures .

IMPACT OF PROJECTS
ON FUNDING SOURCE

SUMMARY OF IMPACTS ON MAJOR FUNDING SOURCES
CURRENT REVENUES/GENERAL FUND RESERVES
Funding of the Fire Station roof maintenance, storage building and the vehicle exhaust system in
1999 will increase general fund expenditures by$102,000 or 1.5 %. That would imply that a levy
increase will be needed to sustain the general funds current status in order to fund 1999 operating
and capital improvement projects. Once the increase is implemented, finance recommends not
lowering the levy amount but maintaining this new rate to build the fund balance in the general
fund in order to cover future projects without levy increases.
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS—P.I.R FUND
Funding from bonds is used up front to pay for construction that will eventually be paid by
special assessment collections, over a 15-20 year span, and the City's share (levy) of construction
projects. The P.I.R. working capital will decrease substantially over the next few years with the
construction of County Rd. 3 and all the other projects that have been implemented. The
potential of recouping landfill work costs from the PCA and rising repayments of special
assessments will help its' funding level. The city has not issued P.I.R bonds since 1992. We will
need to issue $1,600,000 in P.I.R bonds at the end of 1998 or early 1999. These bonds will be
paid from special assessments' receivable on projects implemented between 1992 through 1996.
This will carry us through to 2001 when it will again be necessary to issue a combination of
P.I.R. bonds and General Obligation bonds to pay for the public works storage facility building
and cover normal improvement projects. We anticipate needing as much as $2,400,000 in total.
These would be paid with a combination of special assessments' receivable on projects
implemented between 1997 through 2000 and with additional taxes levied.
MUNICIPAL STATE AID FUND
Funding is sufficient for the projects listed in the CIP document through 2001, and then the
unencumbered allotment will be at a deficit until the year 2005. It may be necessary to sell MSA
bonds in order to maintain the construction schedule or request an advance on future allotments
from the state.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING FUNDS
Considering all tax increment districts as a whole, cash on hand, increments above debt service,
and loan repayments are sufficient to cover these projects.
33
WATER FUND
Several large facility upgrades scheduled from 1998 through 2001 will require rate increases
periodically. In prior years an ample cash balance had been nurtured in anticipation of the several
needed projects. Now into the upgrade stage, a rate increase in 1997 was approved and an
additional $.05 is proposed in each of years 1999 and 2001. These modest rate increases would
be necessary to maintain the planned projects and to pay off bonds that will be necessary to
provide funding for these projected C.I.P. projects. Without issuing revenue bonds, this fund will
have a negative working capital balance from 2000 until the year 2003.
SANITARY SEWER FUND
The low magnitude of capital needs over the next 5-year period will facilitate this fund in
building its' working capital balance to offset any unforeseen changes of charges from the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. Those charges appear to have stabilized for the
present. Further analysis of projected sewer projects and the associated rates being charged is
prudent.
REFUSE FUND
The volume base rate change in 1995 and the loss of the County yard waste grant in 1994,
continues to reduce the healthy cash balance of past years. A rate change is not proposed at this
time.
STORM SEWER FUND
The heavy construction over the past several years necessitates a variable temporary interfund
loan each year. A rate increase in 1993 was approved to repay the loan, the bonds of 1989, and
continued to fund projects as the need arose. The CIP anticipates the continued pace of
construction through 2000. Even with a funding amount of$30,000 from the Nine Mile Creek
Authority, the continued need for projects each year is not allowing the fund to attain a positive
cash flow. It is recommended that the storm sewer rates be increased in 1999 through 2001 by
.40 per residential equivalency factor, (REF), each year. The other alternative is to increase the
REF quarterly rate by $1.20 in the year 2000 and wait until the year 2002 for another possible
increase after further analysis. This increase of sixty cents per residential equivalency factor
changes the total monthly charge for households to $3.60 per month, up from $3.20, which is the
current monthly charge.

survey, or as part of an area street improvement.
Justification:
Pavement Management analysis shows a minimum $300,000 street improvement
commitment (sealcoating, mill/overlays, reconstruction) to maintain current overall street
conditions and backlog. The numbers assume a 70% assessed and 30% general city
share of costs for reconstruction projects and 100% city costs for sealcoat and mill/overlay

JUSTIFICATION:
In most cases where street reconstruction takes place, storm sewer facilities either need
upgrading or need to be installed new. In some cases, water main and sanitary sewer
need to be rehabilitated in conjunction with street reconstruction. The numbers assume
the City funding 100% of major storm sewer, water main, and sanitary sewer construction/
reconstruction. These costs are to be used in conjunction with street reconstruction

DESCRIPTION:
Program to construct concrete alleys in areas designated as poor on the Alley Condition
Survey.
JUSTIFICATION:
The City has had a policy of constructing concrete alleys for a number of years. This
policy has proved to be sound by the concrete alleys' durability and low maintnenance
costs. The Alley Condition Survey indicates there are approximately 8,000 feet of
alley in poor condition. The estimated cost to rebuild these alleys is $350,000 over
six years. Current policy has the City share at 20% of the cost in residential areas. The
amount recommended would allow the City to complete reconstruction of the alleys
(currently rated as poor) by the year 2002.
The City will experience cost savings due to lower maintenance costs.
CURRENT STATUS/PROJECTED SCHEDULE:
Approximately 1250 feet per year for four years.
