exceptional and he has received very few complaints.
Pam Fleischacker, Waste Management, presented before the CounciL Ms. Fleischaker explained some
changes to the SpringlFall clean-up where white goods and hard goods are picked up. Instead of citizens

and Waste Management will make a clean sweep of the city.
General discussion was held in regard to "illegal dumping", such as items being dumped in private business'
dumpsters and items being dropped in ditches.
Council Member Haugen also inquired about commercial pick-up and the reason why it is an elective as
compared to being mandatory. Mr. Plotz provided a history as to why commercial properties are not
regulated.

materials.

.) DISCUSSION OF THE EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION PERFORMANCE MATRIX
Mayor Cook noted that this item was spoken about briefly at the last Council meeting, however he asked that

Council Member Haugen commented that he felt a consultant should evaluate the matrix after going through
the current matrix for a few years. Mayor Cook noted that the current matrix allows for any employee with
reasonable performance to reach maximums and he expressed that the proposed matrix may make the
employee work a little harder to achieve those higher ratings. Mayor Cook suggested holding a workshop to
study the matrix and discuss it in more del?th. Council Member Stotts commented that holdmg a workshop
may be a good idea to make sure the matnx is competitive. Mayor Cook asked that the Council review the

center facility, which it would then lease back to the company. After some consideration, the
company is looking into obtaining its own project financing and building the facility itself. As part
of this, the company would r.urchase the lot it needs for the new building inunediately. Therefore,
staff is seeking City CounCil authorization to sell this property for a purchase price of $116,178.

could perform some of these inspections. Gary Plotz mentioned that there are currently a few positions that
could possibly absorb some of these duties. More details could be discussed in a workshop session. The

Hutchinson Public Ubrary Board
July 23, 2007
Members present: Guy stone, Abby Dahlquist Janet Vacek. Ann Vance, Yvonne Johnson,
John Paulsen, and Mary Henke. Ex-OffIcio
Member absent: Kay Peterson
The meeting was cailed to order by Vice-President Ann Vance, since John Paulsen was delayed.
Janet Vacek moved to approve the minutes with Abby Dahlquist seconding the motion. Motion
passed.
Old Business:
1. Children's Summer Readlna Proaram update Sign up ended July 7 with 588 children
signing up. The Stories In the Park programs on Thursdays are drawing 70-199 people
per session.
2. Munlcloal Benchmarks The benchmark committee ranked the scores submitted by
the board In their priority listing of possible benchmar1<s to use. Mary explained
the per capita Issue. After talking to Nancy Walton from the state Dept. of Ubrary
Services, she discovered that there Is no state-wide method for determining the
number of people a library serves outside of Its city limits. Because of this, using the
2000 census figures seems to be the best most consistent way of comparing cities.
Mary also shared that In using budget comparisons, we focus on what It costs to run
the library effectively and well. For example, we could track a specific area of
spending such as the spending on the library collection (books, magazines, audio
books, videos, etc.) Yvonne Johnson suggested using historic data. Our assignment
from the city Is to track 4 to 6 benchmarks so we can measure what we are getting
for our money and Identify trends. John P. said that he thought It important to
Include a benchmark addressing budget. The benchmarks chosen were as follows:
. Items checked out
. Number of FTE staff
. Number of computers available to public
. Programs for both children and adults
. Visitors to the library
We chose the cities of New Ulm, Marshall and Fergus Falls to compare data with.
These cities are similar to Hutchinson In size. Mary and Ann Vance will begin
gathering Information, with the process completed hopefully in September.
New Business:
1. Computer replacement fundina At our last meeting, Jack Sandberg, the
Ploneeriand Ubrary System (PLS) representative, reported that the PLS board
approved a plan to replace all computers in the system at the same time by 2010 at
the latest. The board would like to make a goal of addressing the need for more
computers and the space for them. Mary has approached the Friends of the
Ubrary about help funding the computers. The Friends will provide some of the funds.
We need to tap Into other resources as well. Hutchinson Community Foundation, the
Burich Foundation and the Citizens Bank would be good prospects to contact.
2. Preliminary Maintenance of Effort reoort John Houlahan contacted Mary about the
possibility of Increased funds in 2008 from McLeod County because of an increase In
the county's maintenance of effort obligation. This may translate Into almost $5,OC(J
extra for the Hutchinson library.
John Paulsen made a motion to adJoum, with a second by Guy Stone. Motion possed.
Next meeting will be on Monday, August 27, 2007 at 4:30 p.m.

Hutchinson Public Library Board
August 27. 2007 4:30 pm
Members present: Abby Dahlquist, Janet Vacek, Ann Vance, Yvonne Johnson,
John Paulsen, and Mary Henke, Ex-Officio
Members absent: Kay Peterson and Guy Stone.
John called the meeting to order. Ann Vance moved to approve the minutes
with Abby Dahlquist seconding the motion. Motion passed.
Old Business:
1. Benchmarks (Ann Vance)
Ann Vance compiled data to help us evaluate benchmark criteria and included
information on cities of similar size/population to use for comparison.. John
suggested we needed to determine two things when deciding on municipal
benchmarks:
Which cities to include?
Which benchmarks to look at?
We decided we should reconsider using Marshall, MN for comparison since it is
a combined county/city library (City of Marshall/Lyon County). There was
consensus that we should include the public libraries in Fergus Falls, Cloquet
and New Ulm since they are similar to Hutchinson in census population and
demographics.
We discussed how the definition of "programming" was determined and what
was included. We decided to include the following benchmarks:
. Total Circulation
. Total Number of library visits
. Total of Full-time Staff (Employees)
. Computer use per terminal (Combine two charts)
Ann (with assistance from Mary) will prepare the statistical data for presenting
to the City of Hutchinson.
lrJ L G- 'rd,

.
.
2. Computer replacements for 2010.
John Houlahan visited to discuss the replacement and/or addition of new
computers. The purchase will be through the state of Minnesota contract. We
currently have four staff, two catalog, and eight internet access computer
stations. Adding new computers (space) and wiring could be an issue. Mary
needs to have PLS and Hutchinson Telephone come and look at the building to
determine the ease and feasibility of wiring. Mary will talk with the Friends of
the Library, Citizen Bank and the Hutchinson Community Foundation about
monetary support.
New Business:
1. Community Forum
We discussed various topics and decided that we would focus on "Aging
Trends" for the community forum. Guy, Abby, John and Mary will serve on the
committee to locate a speaker, resources and information on the topic by
speaking with community members who might offer guidance for the
presentation. October 23 or 25 are possible dates for the event.
2. New high school assistants: Kaitlyn Garvin (Hutchinson HS) and Liz
Marcus
(New Century) were hired. Kaitlyn has been a volunteer at the library for a long
time and both girls came with good recommendations. There were several good
candidates. They are both juniors and will be here for two years - hopefully.
Mary thanked all for the support she received during the recent loss of her
husband, Gary.
Next meeting: Monday, September 24, 2004 at 4:30.

SUMMARY OF CLOSED MEETING PROCEEDINGS
CITY ADMINISTRATOR PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
September 25, 2007
On September 25,2007, the Hutchinson City Council closed its meeting at 4:37 p.m. to conduct
the annual performance appraisal for the City Administrator, Gary Plotz. Individuals present
included the Hutchinson City Council (Mayor Steve Cook, Bill Arndt, and Casey Stotts), City
Administrator Gary Plotz, City Attorney Marc Sebora, and Brenda Ewing, Human Resources
Director. Mr. Plotz exercised his right to close the proceedings to the public. Council member
Jim Haugen joined the closed session at 5 :07 p.m.
The Council reviewed with Mr. Plotz his performance for the period of December 2006 to
present. Performance was reviewed in the following performance competencies applicable to the
position: Communications, Cost Consciousness, Delegation, Job Knowledge, Judgment,
Innovation, Leadership, Managing People, Teamwork, Planning & Organization, Problem
Solving, Use of Technology, and Quality. The appraisal system allows an individual to be rated
in each competency on the scale ofratings ranging including Unsatisfactory, Needs
Improvement, Meets Job Requirements, Exceeds Job Requirements, and Outstanding.
.
The consensus of the Council is that Mr. Plotz' performance for the review period was found to
be exceeding job requirements or outstanding in all of the competency categories. Mr. Plotz
presented to the Council specific achievements for the review period. The list of achievements
included the following:
.
1. Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO): Staff completed the preparation for this objective and
was ready to implement BFO. Citizen committees had been formed and the forms to be
used in the process were ready. The work completed on this was of quality.
2. Visioning Session: The session was scheduled and held in January 2007. The Council
heard a presentation on a project called policy governance.
3. Hospital Privatization: This process included numerous meetings and a large amount of
staff time. Significant time was spent with the City's attorneys on this matter and the
resulting agreement contains many of the provisions that were suggested by staff.
4. Prioritization of City Issues: The BFO project was intended to address this. As a result,
this objective has not been able to be moved forward as the issues as yet have not been
formally identified nor has the process to prioritize them.
5. Performance Measurement: Staff completed the second year of participation and input of
data for the ICMA Performance Measurement Survey.
6. Creek Side Strategic Plans: Creek Side has made significant progress in 2007.
Management is making noticeable strides.
7. Financial Issue - City Bonding: A meeting is scheduled with Moody's this fall to review
the City's rating and to attempt to improve it. Staff is working on a financial
management plan for the City.

The Mayor presented a prepared list of tentative goals and objectives for the City Administrator

RE: Consideration of Revised Assessment Roll No. 50798
Relevy of SA-5079 - Ll/06-01 - TH 7/22
DATE: October 9, 2007
The Hwy 7/22 project was a two year project and in order to secure bonding for this project, it was
necessary to assess the parcels last year. As it was impossible to determine the exact number of water
and sewer services required on the second portion of the project until actual construction, we have
incurred some credits, as listed on the attached Resolution and Assessment Roll.
The Historical Society parcel was previously approved on 04/25/2007. Due to an entry error in the
worksheet, which results in a $34.35 decrease to the property, it will be necessary to approve the
corrected amount.

. moratorium is requested in order to protect the planning process and the study area
A joint City Council and Planning Commission workshop will be held at 4:00 pm on October rf' to

Subject:
Petition for Streetlight
Last summer a number of people living along Linden Ave SW filed a petition for a streetlight. I
was unaware ofthe petition, and assume the paperwork had been misplaced when Mr. Rodeberg
left the City's employ. A petitioner graciously provided the City with a copy of the petition,
which we received on September 18, 2007. I spoke to the petitioner and assured him we would
review the petition in a timely manner and apologized for misplacing the original petition.
The petition is for a streetlight to be placed near the south end of the alley between Merrill St SW
and Lynn Rd SW on Linden Ave SW. The petition was signed by a majority of the owners along
that block of Linden Ave SW.
Dave Hunstad, of Hutchinson Utilities, and I reviewed the feasibility or installing a streetlight
near the location indicated in the petition and found a suitable installation site. The most feasible
location for the light would be on the south side of Linden Ave SW, on the property line between
520 and 530 Linden Ave SW. After speaking to the resident of 530 Linden Ave SW, that
location seemed acceptable to them as well.
Typically, in a residential neighborhood, we have been installing 'destination' lighting, which in
this case would generally be at each end of the block at the intersections. In this case, however,
because Linden Ave SW jogs to the north at Lynn Rd and the nearest light is at the southeast
comer ofLynn Rd SW and Linden Ave SW, a light at the end of the alley appears to be
appropriate and in keeping with the 'destination' lighting installed in other neighborhoods.
Ifthe streetlight were installed using a wooden pole and cobra head, similar to the other lights in
that neighborhood would be around $800. If the streetlight were installed using a fiberglass pole
and a decorative streetlight head, the cost would be nearer $1,800. One ofthe petitioners I spoke
to also felt it would be acceptable to place the wooden pole and cobra head fixture, as it would
match other streetlights in the neighborhood.
Because of the cost, it is my recommendation that the wooden pole and cobra head be installed at
a cost of about $800. I will be available at the meeting to answer any questions you may have
about the petition.
Enclosed is a copy of the petition and a map indicating the locations of the existing and proposed
streetlights.

~~ ..lW. S O?? 2007 Final Report
Governor vetoes property tax relief, LGA
funding increase
When the legislative session opened this year, the disc.uss.ion was not whether
there would be property tax relief: but ho\\' much and by what means. Some increase in
Local Govenunent Aid appeared to be an aln10st certainty, since even Gov+Pawlenty, his-
torically not a fan 'ofLGA, .increased it by $1 o million in his proposed budget~ By the
e f session, a substantial increase ih LGA. funding passed by ,vide margins in the
Legislature. This victory \vas short lived, ho\vever, sinceitwa,s swiftly vetoed by the
governor due to his opposition to a teclmical change to the budget forecast.
Earlier in the session, theI-Iouse and Senate both passed tax bills that contained
funding increases for ,LOA.
Senate Bill
The Senate bill contained a $150 InilLion increase inLG.A. The legislation con-
tained only one formula. change -.the removal of the Taconite Aid offset - but reinstated
the 2003 g~aranteed base aid. The bill was an atten1pt to restoreLGA to cities that were
cut from the prqgram in 2003 and to r~store state aid funding for lower-vvealth cities~
House Bill
The House tax bill'focused more on.direct property tax refunds to homeowners.
The House pla:n offered rebates to homeowners whose property taxe.s exceeded 2 percent
of the'ir inc.ome~ In addition, thel-Iouse plan included a $60 million increase in LOA
funding an~ ,contained sev-
eral CO Me-supported
changes .to the aid distribu-
tion formula. The House
tax bill \vas very snnilar to
.the CGM.C's $325 Million
Property Tax Relief Act,
.authored by Sen. Dan
Skogen,D:FL-H'ewitt,. and

been wanled that this legislation would be
targeted in 2007. And once again, \ve had
to \-vard off underhanded tactics that were
used to try to repeal this language.
Ultimately, \ve \vcre successful in keeping
the offset language in law. rrhis ability to
do offsets was also subsequently upheld in
court when the Minnesota Suprel11e Cault
agreed with the MPCA in the
Annandale/Maple Lake case.
irn pJenlentation for another year.
A.hllOllgh therul1ended bills \Vere
faidy innocuous~ they had to overcome
some quest.ionable legislative tactics and
fonnidable oppos.ition from several envi-
ron!nental advocacy groups in order to get
passed. This opposition is sure to flare up
again next, session. We\<viU use the addi-
tional ti.nle to educate the Legislature, par-
tici.pat,e in agency rulenlaki.ng and review
other legal options in order to keep the rute
fi'oln being hnplenlented. The delay is in
efJ:ecl' until May], 2008.
CGM"C's second goal was to
make s,ure that cities could continue to
grow during tb,e time environmental
studies, known8sTotal Maximum
Da.i.lyLond (TMD.L) studies, were being
undertaken.
CGMe legislation had been
passed last year to allow the MPCA to
issue penn its for ne~v discharges into
impaired watersheds if they could be off-
set by larger nutrient reductions e.lse\vbere
in the sa.n,ewatershed. }-:(owever) '\ve had
CGM,C set two environm
goals for 2007. CG.MC~s first goal was
to stop the implementation of the
M: ~esota Pollution. Control Agency's
(1\, ':A) arbitrary 1 mgIL phOsphorus
limit for aU. new and expanding d.is-
charges into the state's rivers and
streams, ratb.er than evaluating eac'b
discharge on a case-by-casebasis.
'The coalition got part way to this
goal in 2006 by getting legislation passed
to delay i.111pleInentation of the phosphorus
Ihnit until after the Legislature received a.
report froDl the agency regarding the
)hnit's scientific justification and the cos.t
this mandate \vould impose on cities.
However: foot-dragging by the .MPCA on
cOJllpIeting the report and an accelerated
cOJllrnittee process during this year's ses-
sion stopped any hope. of a real discussion
on the issue. As tilne ran out, the legisla..
tors canying the bills changed tactics.

Sen. Keith Langseth, Dl=L-Glyndon,

sustained the governor'8 veto.
Although CGM.C supported the
funding bills that did reach the J-louse and
Senate floor, it started out\vith a mQre
nlodest~ but probab Iy nlore doable, goaL
CGM.C's strategy was to advocate for a
pared-do\vn transportation bill that would
have the best chance 0 f anracti ng enough
support for a veto override. Our discus-
sions with rural legislators indicated that
by linliting the gas tax increase to only 5
cents, a funding package might squeak
through. To bolster that pretTI ise, we
sought signatures on a bill that did just
that and got eight I-louse Republicans to
sign on - two [nare than the nUlnber sup-
paTti ng the bi II vetoed by the governor.
If legislative leaders had used a
sinl ilar strategy and tried to pass a pa.red
down bill earl ier in the session - and
before the steep increases in gas prices -
they might have been able to round up the
Republican votes nceded to override the
veto.
and Senate each passed conlprehensive
transportation bills \~hich included a 10
c,ent gas ta.x.incre.ase, local option sales
taxies, wheelage tees and tab fee increas-
es. Onc.e in conference con1mittee:c how-
ever, the bi) l\vas scaled do\-vn in an effort
to garner enough Republican votes to
override a veto
Increa.sed tTansportation funding
was on the Jninds of most legislators
\~'hen they got to the Capitol last January,
but given Governor Tim Pa\Vlenly's "no
ne\v taxes" stance, that "\vasn'tgoing to
happen w'ithout a veto override.
Unfortunately~ the veto override
didn~t happen, so Minnesotans are left
with a "lights on" bill that does little lTIOre
than keep the MjnnesotaDepartnlent of
Transportation (MnDOT) running at its
current funding level. TIle only addition-
al funding \vas for transit, v'/ith $20 In i I-
I ion nlore for the Iuetro area and a 4 per-
cent; phased-in dedication of the Motor

was due mainly to a legislative decision to
remove all revenue increases - other than

CGMC:
Unique, Knowledgeable, and Strong .
Lobbying: Fending off the sharks
No one else stands_up for greater Minnesota cities. Minneapolis, St. Paul, the Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities, and many suburbs all had paid lobbyists before the CGMC. In fact, the paid professional
lobbying presence of the metro area local governments at the Capitol has traditionally outweighed the lobbying
of greater Minnesota by four or five times - both in terms of the number oflobbyists and the amount of money
spent on lobbying. Before the CGMC there was no unified voice for greater Minnesota at the Capitol.
Policy Analysis: Knowing the numbers
The CGMC program is effective because it is based on facts, analysis and policy advocacy. The CGMC
philosophy is that city officials, legislators and the public should know and understand the impact oflegislation
being considered and know the impact of the legislation once it is passed. Therefore, the CGMC developed a
property tax model to better inform everyone about the impacts of legislation. This model provides objective
and accurate information that is frequently contrary to the claims made by governors, legislators, and special
interest groups.
Members: The keys to success
GCMC is what it is because of its members. Mayors, council members, and city administrators are involved in
every aspect ofCGMC's public policy program from policy formation to lobbying at the capitol. Ultimately
CGMC is successful because of the work city officials do. City members have an immeasurable impact on
public policy by attending periodic lobby days at the Capitol, responding to action alerts from staff, testiJYing in
front of committees and keeping in close contact with legislators.
.
Staff: Close when you can't be
It is extremely difficult for city officials from greater Minnesota, on their own, to have a presence at the Capitol
simply because of the distance from the Capitol. It is far easier for a mayor from Edina or Minneapolis to visit
the Capitol than a mayor from Worthington, Alexandria, or International Falls. CGMC offices are located
within blocks of the Capitol, and staff are at the Capitol on a daily basis during the legislative session. This
proximity has allowed CGMC staff to strengthen relationships with key lawmakers.
Media: More than just a press release
CGMC understands that a crucial component to good lobbying strategy is a strong media presence that helps
build public support and keeps members informed. The CGMC is in regular contact with editors and reporters
throughout the state. The CGMC is very successful at getting our message out through guest columns, letters to
the editor, and quotes in stories in newspapers throughout Minnesota. Legislators pay attention to the news
from back home and we make sure they are hearing our message loud and clear. .

CGMC Gets Press, Makes Headlines
.
In order to influence legislators, you must also influence the public. The CGMC
accomplishes this task through the work of John Sundvor, CGMC's senior media advisor.
He develops and implements successful media and public relations strategies for the
organization and travels at least two times a year to visit newsrooms across the state. He
also meets with the Capitol Press Corps on a regular basis to keep them informed about
issues affecting member cities. John's strong media contacts are the result nearly 30 year's
experience as a reporter and columnist for the Forum Communications Company.
Below are a few examples of the media coverage the CGMC has received during the 2007 legislative session.

Voters should not be fooled by excuses from legislators who did not support the transportation bill. The trade off is simply
not acceptable. As the dollar value of current transportation revenue sources decline, the competition with the
metropolitan area grows stronger, meaning that more road projects in greater Minnesota will be sidetracked, highway
safety problems will multiply, transit systems will be reduced and the economy in greater Minnesota will be hobbled.

Budget negotiations may focus on tax relief
by Tom Scheck, Minnesota Public Radio
January 22, 2007
"The budget is heavily anti-rural," said John Sundvor, with the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities. Sundvor says
Pawlenty's proposal to increase aide to local governments is a fraction oftheir goal. Sundvor is also unhappy that
Pawlenty wants to cap property tax increases in 87 cities and counties. The cap would be roughly the rate of inflation. The
limit would apply to cities and counties that receive more than a third of their general fund revenues from the state.
Sundvor says that unfairly targets rural parts of the state.
"You're basically saying 'if you're a city and you have enough money, you can do anything you want. But if you're a
struggling city in rural Minnesota, we're going to tell you how to do it.'

. Dan Ness: An opportunity for better roads is lost
Legislators turned their backs on the most geographically balanced bill in years.
H. Dan Ness
Published: June 04, 2007
It wasn't only highways and transit that lost out when the Minnesota House of Representatives failed to override
the governor's veto of the Legislature's transportation bill. The lack of will to pass the fairest, most balanced
transportation package in years could have long-term, negative consequences, particularly for greater
Minnesota.
The shift in resources from rural to metro that has been evidenced over the past few years will accelerate
without the influx of funds promised in the transportation bill. That bill provided revenue to fix highways,
streets and roads throughout the state. It also recognized the needs of greater Minnesota by providing it, as well
as the metropolitan area, with adequate funding for mass transit.
This is in real contrast to recent transportation funding practices that have prioritized metropolitan mass transit
and freeway projects while ignoring many deadly zones on greater Minnesota highways, reducing funding for
its local roads and offering almost no assistance to its transit systems.
This shift in priorities wouldn't have occurred if revenue sources that dedicate funding to all parts of the state
hadn't been shrinking. The reduction in traditional revenue sources, such as the gas tax and license tabs, has led
to an increased dependence on bonding and the state's general fund. That has put a damper not only on greater
A1innesota transportation projects but has also depleted funding sources for other infrastructure and economic
~evelopment programs, particularly in the rural areas of the state. The bottom line is that without an increase in
revenue for roads and other public infrastructure needs, the economy of greater Minnesota will continue to
decline.
With so much at stake, it is hard to understand how some rural legislators could turn their backs on the
transportation funding bill. This is particularly true since it was generally conceded that greater Minnesota had
never been treated as well or as fairly in transportation bills and, more chillingly, may never be offered as much
in the future.
In the short term, voters and legislators might resist increases in gas taxes and license tab fees, but in the long
run, it is greater Minnesota that will pay the price. Transportation funding is at a critical juncture, so it is
incumbent upon our leaders to make the tough choices. Too many rural legislators took the easy way out, and
all of us will pay for it in the future.
Voters should not be fooled by excuses from legislators who did not support the transportation bill. The trade
off is simply not acceptable. As the dollar value of current transportation revenue sources decline, the
competition with the metropolitan area grows stronger, meaning that more road projects in greater Minnesota
will be sidetracked, highway safety problems will multiply, transit systems will be reduced and the economy in
greater Minnesota will be hobbled.
H. Dan Ness is mayor of Alexandria and president of the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities.

Budget negotiations may focus on tax relief
by Tom Scheck, Minnesota Public Radio
January 22, 2007
,
.
Gov. Pawlenty says tax relief, especially property tax relief, is one of the main priorities in his two-year hudget proposal.
Pawlenty released his $34.4 hillion bndget blueprint on Monday. He wants to devote $281 mIUlon to tax relief over two years.
More than half of that money wonld be used to put the brakes on rising property tax rates. Both Democrats and Repnbllcans
say the governor's plan faUs short.
St. Paul, Minn. - Gov. Pawlenty's proposal to rein in rising property taxes involves two main strategies. Individual homeowners
could receive direct relief through a system of tax credits and refunds. There is also an increase in state aid to local governments,
which rely on property taxes for a majority of their funding.
Revenue Commissioner Ward Einess says Pawlenty did the most he could with the limited money available for property tax relief.
"With the resources we had, $150 million in pennanent property tax relief, 1 think the governor did an incredible job of getting at the
problem areas of the system," he said.
Part of the money would help lower tax bills by providing homeowners with tax credits based on the assessed value of the home.
Another portion provides refunds to individuals based on income.
Pawlenty has also proposed an annual $10 million increase in aid to local governments. Einess says property taxes are expected to
increase about 6 percent for an average-valued home. He says the governor's proposal would cut that increase in half.
But to some advocates for cities the plan comes up short.
"The budget is heavily anti.rural," said John Sundvor, with the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities. Sundvor says Pawlenty's
proposal to increase aide to local governments is a fraction of their goal. Sundvor is also unhappy that Pawlenty wants to cap property
tax increases in 87 cities and counties. The cap would be roughly the rate of inflation. The limit would apply to cities and counties that
receive more than a third of their general fund revenues from the state. Sundvor says that unfairly targets rurai parts of the state.
"You're basically saying 'if you're a city and you have enough money, you can do anything you want. But if you're a struggling city in
rural Minnesota, we're going to tell you how to do it.' We've got a governor from the Republican Party, the party that preaches local
control, practicing centralized government, " Sundvor said. .
Pawlenty has also put some strings on the extra funding for St. Paul and Minneapolis. He's recommending that any new aid to those
two cities be targeted to public safety.
Pawlenty says city leaders complained in past years that state budget cuts have forced them to make cuts to police and fife
departments. He says he wants to ensure the new money is targeted to public safety programs.
"We've heard the concern about public safety being such a priority and they always entangle the LGA debate by saying, 'We can~ do
what we want to do in public safety because ofLGA money.' Well now we're giving them LGA money and we're challenging them to
put it where it's most important: public safety," the governor said.
The mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul object to the governor's current proposal, complaining that it's micromanaging their budgets.
In addition to health care and education, property tax relief is expected to be one of the major sticking points in budget negotiations
between the governor and state lawmakers.
Legislative leaders on both sides of the aisle say Pawlenty's proposal doesn't go far enough. Rep. Denny McNamara, R-Hastings, says
voters told him that they wanted to see property tax relief soon.
"There's a real opportunity for us to do something there and 1 would say that was one of the frustrations that our caucus had,"
McNamara said. "We wish there would have been more tax relief because that's really in response to what we heard folks say."
Rep. Paul Marquart, DFL-Dilworth, called Pawlenty's proposal "woefully inadequate." He says he'd like to see twice the amount of
property tax relief that Pawlenty proposed.
But Marquart, who chairs the House Property Tax Relief Division, likes Pawlenty's plan to increase money to local governments.
"He put that on the table so now the governor and the House and the Senate and the governor will have increases in local government
aid on the table at the end," Marquart said. "Certainly how much is going to be the debate."
Committees in both the House and Senate will continue to hold hearing on their own proposals on property tax relief.
Ward Einess, the revenue commissioner, says he's optimistic that the governor and both legislative bodies will reach an agreement. .
"For the most part, I'd say 70 to 80 percent of the levers that we're all pulling, are the same levers. It's just a matter of how much we're
pulling each lever," Einess said.
Lawmakers and the governor have to reach agreement on which levers to pull, and how hard, by May 21.

~".. ." '. .,' n't...AIIun,I'tLcae Coalition sees aid to cities as tax relief
~. ,U By Tim Engstrom, managing editor
_ Monday, February 19,20079:11 AM CST
~e Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities wants the state Legislature to return local government aid to the level it was before the cuts
of2oo3.
"We believe local government aid is a property tax relief program," said John Sundvor, a media consultant for the Coalition of Greater
Minnesota Cities.
The Democrats took control of the Legislature, but a lot of them came from districts in the suburban Twin Cities that once were held
by Republicans; that means there likely will be more local government aid, but the question remains of where it will be spent, Sundvor
said.
He said the coalition wants a fair deal. It has proposed a package with 49.7 percent for the metro area and 50.3 percent for greater
Minnesota.
The plan has $325 million in tax relief, of which the coalition proposes $125 million in local government aid to cities, $175 million to
school equalization and $25 million in local government aid to county governments.
The coalition also wants to revamp the fonnula for local government aid so that more cities are eligible and to take inflation into
account.
If the coalition's proposals were already in place, the city of Albert Lea would see an increase in local government aid of $732,695
over the $5.6 million it gets.
Albert Lea City Manager Victoria Simonsen said if the Legislature follows through on the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities'
proposal, the city would be able to restore some staff cut in 2003, curb tax hikes and offset some capital expenses such as the library
expansion and the Catherine Island bridge replacement.
Sundvor said many people blame local officials for property tax rates when state and federal cuts or unfunded mandates leave the local
officials in a bind. Local government aid helps homeowners and businesses, both of which need services.
"It's a sort of economic development and property tax relief rolled into one," Sundvor said.
Sundvor and Simonsen visited the Albert Lea Tribune on Thursday.
Transportation
The constitutional amendment on transportation passed in November requires the state to spend at least 40 percent of the revenue from
_e motor vehicle sales tax on transit needs. The rest of the revenue can go to highways or transit or other transportation needs.
he Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities wants lawmakers to pass a statute requiring that remaining 60 percent level be guaranteed
or highways. The statute would require the remainder be 35 percent for metro transit and 5 percent for transit in greater Minnesota
The coalition also favors a half-cent metropolitan sales tax for transit there, similar to other metro areas in the United States.
Minnesota pays 62.7 percent of the Twin Cities transit tab, with fares forking out 25.9 percent and local taxes 1.6 percent, the coalition
notes. The rest comes from federal and other sources.
According to the coalition, average funding for places with more than I million population shows fares paying 35.9 percent and local
taxes paying 19.9 percent, with the state paying 22.5 percent, and the rest from federal and other sources.
A metro tax for transit would open more federal coffers for light rail, too, taking some funding burden off Minnesota
The coalition supports a nickel increase in the state gas tax. Sundvor said some interests call for a 10 cents-per-gallon increase, plus an
index tied to inflation rates and an increase in the tax on license plate tabs. The governor has stated opposition to a gas tax increase.
Sundvor said many lawmakers say the 5 cent increase is reasonable.
Clean water
The Clean Water Legacy Act, however beneficial it is, remains an unfunded mandate from the state, Sundvor said. The Coalition of
Greater Minnesota Cities would like the Legislature to fully fund it, he said.
The coalition opposes the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's proposed I milligram-per-liter-phosphorus limit for wastewater
discharge. Sundvor called the measurement "arbitrary" and said the agency simply doesn't want to do the work of basing limits on a
case-by-case basis.
Simonsen said ifthe Legislature approves the MPCA's proposal, the city of Albert Lea would not be affected. The phosphorous
discharge levels into the Shell Rock River are regularly under I milligram per liter.

Coalition working for highways, too
Daily Globe, Worthington Daily Globe
Published Thursday, February 22, 2007
The Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities' (CGMC) $325 million property tax relief act was touted on
Wednesday's opinion page. Today, we'll consider another CGMC idea - a pair of highway funding initiatives
that would increase the current statewide gasoline tax by five cents per gallon and designate a firm 60 percent of
motor vehicle sales tax revenue for highways.
The gas tax increase offers probably the biggest political obstacle of both initiatives. After all, Gov. Tim
Pawlenty will almost certainly oppose any tax increase, in effect daring state legislators to override his veto. In
attempting to advance the five-cent gas tax hike, CGMC cites data it says shows Minnesota's 20-cent gas tax-
which has gone unchanged since 1988 - is worth only 12 cents per gallon in real dollars. The CGMC also
reports the state trunk highway system is underfunded to the tune of $1 billion per year, and local roads and
bridges underfunded by $395 million annually - not to mention that construction costs are continuing to
increase dramatically.
Resolving to designate a solid 60 percent of motor vehicle sales tax revenue for highways would bring closure
to an unclear language issue that's been the bane of rural lawmakers for months. There's another dimension,
however: The CGMC is hoping to secure a greater share of the remaining 40 percent in vehicle sales tax dollars
designated for transit. Right now, as much as 38 percent is set to go to metro; the Coalition wants to get Greater
Minnesota up to a 5 percent share.
At a time when transportation dollars are in such short supply, the CGMC initiatives are at the very least worth.
of careful consideration.

Column: Minn. cannot wait to fIx outstate transportation
By H Dan Ness, Guest Column
Monday, May 7, 2007 9:24 AM CDT
Throughout Minnesota, we have transportation needs that no longer can be ignored. Continuing to look at them with a
"blind eye" will not make traffic congestion in the Twin Cities or unsafe highways in greater Minnesota disappear.
For too long, the needs of our transportation infrastructure have been pushed aside because of political shortsightedness.
Year after year, the governor and the Minnesota Legislature have wrung their hands in worry over the deterioration of our
transportation infrastructure. And year after year they have failed to act because of one political impediment or another.
It is time to end the gridlock and do what we should have done 10 years ago: Find the money that we need to properly
fund mass transit programs and make dangerous Minnesota highways safe.
The Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities believes legislative leaders and the House-Senate Transportation Conference
Committee must address our transportation problems in a meaningful way this session. We will all suffer if economic
activity in the Twin Cities is choked offby traffic congestion. We must never accept the proposition that death and serious
injury are acceptable alternatives to investing in safe roads in greater Minnesota.
In his April 27 letter to members ofthe Transportation Conference Committee, Gov. Tim Pawlenty made it clear that he
was not willing to compromise on transportation funding. His attitude is unacceptable; it contributes to the gridlock that
plagues transportation funding each year.
.e governor's answer is to fund transportation through the issuance of bonds, a solution that is irresponsible. His
approach to transportation funding would put a financial burden on our children for years to come.
We believe that a compromise is in order. The governor and legislators must look for the middle ground in transportation
funding. While we support some reasonable level of bonding for transportation, we also believe that it is reckless to rely
almost exclusively on bond proceeds to upgrade our highways and increase support for our mass transit programs.
Gov. Pawlenty and the House-Senate Transportation Conference Committee must produce a compromise bill that
provides Minnesota's transportation system with new revenue.
Given the tone of the governor's letter, however, it is apparent that he is unwilling to find a middle ground. The House-
Senate compromise, therefore, must be able to withstand a gubernatorial veto. It is far better to approve a five-cent
increase in the gas tax that may attract support from Republicans in the House and Senate than to insist on a IO-cent
increase that may not have enough legislative support to withstand a veto.
The compromise that the transportation conferees reach may not be all that transportation advocates have been hoping for,
but in today's environment something is better than nothing.
Continuing the transportation funding deadlock that dates back to 1988 is not acceptable.
Motorists in greater Minnesota should not be put at risk because we are unwilling to invest in upgrading dangerous rural
roads. We cannot accept any proposition that suggests that reducing traffic congestion in the Twin Cities is too expensive.
Traffic congestion in the metro area wastes time and money; it is counter-productive and undermines our future economic
well being.
~e time for a transportation solution is now. We cannot afford another year of gridlock.
H. Dan Ness is the mayor of Alexandria and the president of the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities.

Don't count on tax relief soon
check&CFID=38015249&CFTOKEN=410
.
By Don Davis, State Capitol Bureau, Alexandria Echo Press
Published Wednesday, June 06,2007
ST. PAUL - Minnesotans' property tax bills will continue to rise, probably for two years, after a gubernatorial tax bill veto.
"We missed a chance to provide some property tax relief," Representative Paul Marquart, DFL-Dilworth, said. "It would have been
nice to at least move in the right direction."
Marquart, the House property tax chairman, said it is doubtful legislators will be able to do anything to cut property taxes next year
since the two-year budget was passed and signed into law last month.
"Unless we would have a big surplus of some sort, which I don't envision, we will have to wait," he added.
While Minnesotans wait for relief, their property tax likely will rise $600 million next year, a state Revenue Department report
estimated. House fiscal analysts estimate the average property tax increase outside the Twin Cities will be 10.3 percent.
A bill passed by the Democratic-controlled Legislature would have reduced almost all Minnesota homeowners' property taxes.
However, it depended upon a higher income tax on rich Minnesotans, prompting Republican Governor Tim Pawlenty to veto the
measure.
After regrouping, lawmakers passed a slimmed down version that would have slowed the increase in property taxes. Pawlenty vetoed
that bill last Wednesday in a large part because a provision unrelated to the property tax section. Pawlenty had warned DFL leaders he
would veto the bill.
The governor said he was concerned that property tax relief in that second bill would not provide geographically balanced help.
"Too much relief would be provided through local government aid programs that benefit only half ofthe population," he wrote in his
veto message.
Those aid programs mostly help rural cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, leaving out the suburbs.
"More relief should have flowed directly to all homeowners," Pawlenty said.
Pawlenty said the way to hold down local property taxes is to put a limit on how much they can go up.
"By improving state funding to cities, counties and townships, they would not have had to rely as heavily on property tax levies to .
fund their basic government services -like police, fire service, and libraries," Senator Tony Lourey, DFL-Kerrick, said.
Alexandria would have received $1,617,810 in Local Government Aid in 2008 under the bill that was vetoed, a I percent cut from this
year's amount. It is now set to receive $1,398,744 - $219,066 less than the vetoed bill called for and a 15 percent cut from this year's
aid.
House Minority Leader Marty Seifert, R-Marshall, suggested looking into what can be done to cut property taxes before the next
legislative session begins February 12.
"There were many solid proposals this session and we should spend the legislative interim reaching a compromise that provides
immediate relief to property owners and long-term property tax refonn," Seifert said. "The property tax bill should be the first bill we
vote on during the 2008 legislative session."
Marquart said new revenue is needed for property tax relief, something he does not think will materialize in 2008.
Some Democrats have called for a special session to deal with taxes. Only Pawlenty can call lawmakers back to St. Paul, and he is not
inclined to do that.
"A special session is not necessary," Pawlenty spokesman Brian McClung said. "Governor Pawlenty wishes that DFL leaders
would've listened to his concerns and removed the controversial language putting government on autopilot from the tax bill before it
was passed."
An organization representing many cities outside of the Twin Cities sent a memorandum the day after Pawlenty's veto urging city
officials to tell legislators and the media "that you are extremely disappointed with the veto and how it will affect your city and its
residents." The Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities' memo told officials to let people know the veto "is a direct assault on greater
Minnesota."
Coalition President Dan Ness, Alexandria's mayor, said: "With a single act, he swept away $70 million in property tax relief funding
for the Local Government Aid program, money that would have gone a long way towards restoring the $150 million that was cut from
the program four years ago."
"When the aid is reduced, local officials can either cut services or increase local property taxes to compensate," added the coalition's
John Sundvor.
Some cities may receive more aid because of changes made in the formula that divides up state money, but Sundvor said many will
get less aid. For instance, Duluth would get $3 million less in Local Government Aid, Bemidji $428,000, Moorhead $936,000, Red .
Wing $281,000, Worthington $418,000, Willmar $553,000 and Crookston $524,000.

~ax bill could bring aid back
By Katie Johnson/Austin Daily Herald
February 28, 2007
A $325 million property tax relief bill introduced in the Minnesota Senate could potentially bring relief to taxpayers as
well as cities, counties and schools.
The Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities drafted the bill in response to feedback about decreasing Local Government
Aid and increasing property taxes.
"The bill has been in the works for a couple months," CGMC spokesperson John Sundvor explained. "Property taxes have
spiked throughout the state and LGA has been cut. LGA has always been a centerpoint issue for the CGMC."
Sen. Dan Skogen (DFL-Hewitt), chief author in the Senate, introduced the bill Monday. The House companion bill is
expected to be introduced this week. The chief author in the House is Rep. Robin Brown (DFL-Albert Lea).
The bill, if passed, would be incorporated into the final omnibus tax bill and enacted in 2008-09, Sundvor said.
He said CGMC is "somewhat optimistic" the bill will pass.
Included in the bill is $125 million in LGA, which would restore the program to its pre-2003 cuts level (not including
inflation).
..The city of Austin suffered $1.3 million in cuts in 2003-04, forcing the city to eliminate positions through retirement, dip
~to reserves and increase fees and taxes.
Using CGMC's formula changes, ifthe new LGA was enforced in 2007, Austin would have received $1.08 million more
in aid, up from $7.3 million - one of the largest increases in aid in the state.
The proposal would also restore $25 million in county aid and increase school property tax equalization to $175 million,
which would reduce property taxes across the state.
,
Of the total package, 50.3 percent would go toward Greater Minnesota; the rest to the metro area.

Coalition offers $325 million tax relief package .
DL-OnIine
Published Wednesday, November 15, 2006
The Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities will offer the Legislature a $325 million property tax relief package
next year.
The coalition wound up its three-day Fall Conference here Friday by approving a plan to ask the Legislature to
earmark $100 million for Local Government Aid, $150 million for school equalization aid, and $75 million for
county aid.
Alexandria Mayor H. Dan Ness, president of the CGMC, said the coalition's tax proposal will spread property
tax relief throughout the state.
"It is a fair and balanced approach to addressing an issue that was so important to Democrats and Republicans
in the just-concluded general election," Ness said.
The $100 million in new LGA funding provides property tax relief for taxpayers in lower-wealth cities in
Minnesota - many of them located in greater Minnesota. In 2003, LGA funding was reduced by $150 million to
help the state address a $4.5 million budget shortfall.
"We think it is time to restore that funding," Ness said, noting that city property taxes in greater Minnesota, St.
Paul, and Minneapolis have shown sharp increases as a result of the funding cut.
The $150 million for school equalization aid should reduce property taxes throughout the state. Schools, Ness
said, are struggling to adjust to the budget cuts they have been forced to endure since the $4.5 billion budget
shortfall. He said that struggle is reflected in sharply higher school property taxes.
"We think this bill will go a long way towards rolling back some of those school property tax increases," Ness .
said.
The final component, $75 million in increased county aid, is intended to offset some ofthe funding cuts that
have been imposed on counties throughout Minnesota.
"If the Democrats and Republicans are serious about rolling back property taxes," Ness said, they should give
our plan serious consideration. It is fair, balanced and spreads the tax relief among those taxpayers who need it
most."

Dear Governor Pawlenty:
On behalf of the 68 cities that make up the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities, I am writing to you
and legislative leaders today to ask that you set aside your partisan squabbles and agree to hold a
special legislative session that truly responds to our state's most immediate, critical needs.
.
In early August, we asked that a special session be held to address the need for property tax relief.
Since then, the I-35W Bridge has fallen in to the Mississippi River and flood waters have inundated
communities in southeast Minnesota. While these events have exacerbated the need for a special
session of the Legislature, a session that is too narrowly focused will not adequately respond to the
critical needs that are before us today.
Before the state or federal government could respond to the bridge collapse and flood disaster, local
governments were providing their residents with needed assistance. Local governments have that
capacity in part because of programs like Local Government Aid. To remove that program from a
special session agenda is at best a mistake.
A special session of the Legislature should be organized quickly and should address the following
three issues:
1. State bonding to provide flood relief and funding for the bridge replacement project.
2. A revised tax bill that includes added Local Government Aid funding for property tax relief
and needed assistance to communities devastated by the summer flood.
3. A comprehensive transportation funding bill.
It is time for leadership, not political sniping. You must act quickly to address these critical issues.
It is time to set aside political agendas and lead in a way that serves the interests of Minnesota.
.
Sincerely,
~~~"

In the last few weeks, Tim Flaherty and other Flaherty & Hood, P .A.
staff met with Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller, DFL-
Minneapolis, and Honse Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, DFL-
Minneapolis, to discuss several issues, including the CGMC's
disappointment that transportation and Local Government Aid were not a
topic of the most recent special session. Legislative leaders were told
that transportation and LGA will continue to be priorities for the coalition
in the 2008 session.
Kelliher has agreed to meet with CGMC mayors next week to hear from
them firsthand.
The Transportation Contingent Appropriations Group convened to
discuss Gov. Pawlenty's request to authorize MnDOT to spend an
additional $195 million in anticipated federal funds for the 1-35W
reconstruction. Without this authorization, MnDOT says it will have to
delay other state projects.
MnDOT has contacted the department's district administrators to notify
them that a portion of their budgets may be delayed. The MnDOT central
office will offer "guidance" on the projects that should be delayed. Some
districts have already submitted their lists to the Office of Investment
Management.
Until federal funds are received, MnDOT officials said the department
will need to borrow money from the General Fund. The federal bridge
funds are in the federal transportation appropriations bill, and President
Bush has threatened to veto the bill if it exceeds his budget request.
Some legislators are skeptical the funding will ever arrive due to the
political climate in Washington.
Recent estimates indicate that bridge reconstruction will cost $143
million more than committed by the federal government. Based on this
estimate, Finance Commissioner Tom Hanson testified that MnDOT
will be asking for additional financial assistance in the 2008 legislative
session.
Pogemiller and Kelliher said Gov. Pawleoty knew he would need
legislative approval to spend an additional $195 million and did not relay
that need in any negotiations prior to calling the Sept. 11 special session.

CITY OF HUTCHINSON
MEMO
Finance Department
October 4, 2007
TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KEN MERRILL, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: APPROVING SALE OF 2007 IMPROVEMENT BONDS
Representatives from Ehlers will be present Tuesday with bid
results for the 2007 Improvement Bonds. The award will authorize
the sale of $425,000 of GO Improvement Bonds.
Included with this memo is a brief outline from the city's rating
agency, Moody's which is affirming our A2 rating.
Following Council review of the bid results, approval of the
attached resolution will be requested.

MOODY'S ASSIGNS A2 RATING TO THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON'S (MN) $425,000 GENERAL
OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES 2007A
A2 RATING AFFIRMATION AFFECTS $76.7 MilLION OF OUTSTANDING GOUlT DEBT, INCLUDING
CURRENT OFFERING
Moody's Investors Service has assigned an A2 rating to the City of Hutchinson's (MN) $425,000 General
Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2007A. The bonds are ultimately secured by the city's general
obligation unlimited tax debt, and proceeds will finance various street and road improvements within the city.
Concurrently, Moody's has affirmed the A2 rating on the city's outstanding 576.3 million of outstanding
general obligation debt, including the current offering. The A2 rating refiects the city's steady tax base
growth due to ongoing commercial and industrial development. strong financial operations evidenced by
healthy reserves, and manageable debt burden that is partially supported by non-levy sources.
MODERATEL Y-SIZED TAX BASE WITH CONTINUED GROWTH IN INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SECTORS
Moody's expects the city's tax base growth to remain strong, despite slowed residential grmvth trends, due
to the city's availability of land for industrial park development, and access to major highway networks.
located approximately 50 miles from the Twin Cities Metropolitan area along State Highways 7 and 15, the
city benefits from a diverse tax base, which is currently valued at $997 million. Hutchinson Technology, Inc.
(HTI), the city's second largest taxpayer (comprising 2.3% of assessed valuation), remains the largest
employer (2,300 employees), and plans to expand its facility to accommodate further employment growth
and product development activities. Tax base growth continues to remain strong, averaging 9.1% annually
for the past five years. Officials expect commercial and industrial growth will continue as the city improves
existing infrastructure and transportation networks for better accessibility. In addition, downtown
redevelopment efforts are underway, and are expected to improve the retail and commercial presence within
the city. Resident wealth levels are slightly below state averages with per capita and median family income
at 86% and 95% of state levels, respectively.
. WELL-MAINTAINED FINANCIAL POSITION WITH HEALTHY RESERVE LEVELS
Moody's anticipates the city will maintain satisfactory financial operations given its history of conservative
budgeting practices and the support of healthy reserve levels. The city ended fiscal 2006 with an operating
surplus of $702,000 in the General Fund, ending with a balance of $4.8 million, or a healthy 44.3% of
General Fund revenues. Notably, the city realized five consecutive years of operating surpluses since 2002,
averaging $516,000 annually, and city officials expect to realize balanced to positive operations in fiscal
2007. The city's primary revenue sources are property taxes at 37.4% of core operating revenues and
intergovernmental sources at 25.1 %. Ongoing transfers from the self-supporting enterprise funds also
continue to provide significant support for General Fund operations in the amount of approximately $1.4
million in fiscal 2006, or 13% of revenues. General Fund operations have historically received similar levels
of support from various enterprise funds, such as the Public Utilities Commission and the city municipal
liquor fund - a practice that is expected to continue indefinitely. Given the conservative budgeting practices
demonstrated by city management, as indicated by healthy surpluses over recent fiscal years in the General
Fund, Moody's expects to see healthy financial operations into the near term with stable reserve levels while
maintaining sufficient liquidity.
ABOVE AVERAGE DEBT BURDEN MITIGATED BY SIGNIFICANT NON-LEVY SUPPORT
Moody's believes the city's debt burden will remain manageable due largely to the continued strong
performance of the city enterprise systems and the increased use of special assessment revenues to
service debt. Given the city's growth trends and capacity needs, the city's debt burden remains above-
average. However, given that much of the city's general obligation debt is supported by water, sewer, and
hospital revenues, the adjusted debt burden IS manageable, at 1.9% direct and 2.6% overall. Principal
amortization is above average at 63.9% repaid in ten years. The city plans to issue additional bonds over
the near term for improvements and expansions to the wastewater and water utility systems, and ongoing
infrastructure and road improvement needs as outlined in the city's capital improvement plan.
