FROM: Phyllis Boedigheimer, Finance Directo
DATE: July 25, 1995
SUBJECT: Discussion of City Contribution to Long Haul Industrial Park
Interior Road
My understanding of the background of this issue is that approximately a year ago when
Long Haul Trucking was considering purchase of the property now known as Long Haul
Industrial Park, discussions were carried on between the owner, the EDAAC, Dan Wilson,
Wilson Development Service, and the City Council regarding the upgrading of Kadler
Avenue to access the property and the City's participation in that upgrade. According to
the information from the individuals I have talked with, the amount of $65,000 was
estimated as the cost to upgrade the road.
The development process of the industrial park is well underway with the final plat
approved at the July 24th City Council meeting. The developers agreement has been
drafted and forwarded to the owners for review, approval and signature. Obviously, the
issue of the City's commitment to the project is foremost on the developers mind. The
issue is not addressed in the developers agreement, but the letter of credit requirements
include the cost of all the public improvements including the road.
I have had some conversations with Dan Wilson and Andy MacArthur regarding the issue
of the road and the City's possible contribution to the project. It is Dan Wilson's
understanding that there will be a commitment from the City and that commitment is
$65,000. Dan Wilson has pursued various ideas regarding the method of payment of the
$65,000 to the developer. He contacted the Farmers Home Loan Administration, but
found that this was not an eligible project. He also has suggested that the City use the
taxes generated by the development for reimbursement to the developer, and has furthered
that suggestion to include the County in a commitment of their share of taxes generated.
He has also indicated that Wright Hennepin Electric does offer business development
loans.
Because the letter of credit includes the cost of the road, the developer is very anxious to
arrive at an agreement with the City Council regarding the possible reimbursement for the
road in the industrial park. Attached is a copy of a letter sent to Mr. Dan Wilson from
John Gries, attorney for John Daniels, Long Haul Trucking.
I have also discussed this project, including the background of the development, Dan
Wilson's involvement, and the possible funding of the $65,000 should the City Council
agree to the reimbursement of the road, with Ron Langness at Springsted. Ron indicated
to me that he felt there were some possibilities that the City Council could consider but
needed more information before specific options could be presented. He strongly felt that
Tax Increment Financing should be further explored. He agreed that the TIF laws have
changed and certainly are more restrictive than in earlier years, but that it still was an
option for industrial parks. We further discussed the possibility of incorporating it into a
bond issue with the Island View Estates and Mississippi Shores projects should they be
approved. He also discussed the means of justifying the City's commitment to the
industrial park.
In my discussions with Ron Langness it was apparent to me that the City Council would
benefit from a meeting with him to discuss the Long Haul Industrial Park. This discussion
would also benefit future industrial park development. He would be happy to meet with
the City Council in a presentation format and indicated that he would be available either
August 2nd or 3rd.
In summary, I believe there are two issues to be discussed and direction provided to the
staff.
1) Is the City willing to make a commitment of $65,000 to the Long Haul
Industrial Park? If so, Andy MacArthur recommends that a resolution be adopted
confirming that commitment.
2) If there is a commitment by the City, how will that commitment be paid?
There are a variety of options including bonding, possible MSA construction funds, tax
reimbursement, or possible tax increments.
I also feel it would be of benefit to discuss this issue with Ron Langness, Springsted,
Financial Consultants.

Dear Dan:
I have been trying to reach you and was expecting to hear from
you regarding the above matter. As you know, the Otsego City
council gave the final plat approval for the Industrial Park. We
will be ready to sign the Developer Agreement, place the letter of
credit and record the plat shortly. we cannot proceed, obvious ly,
until we have the agreement in place with the city regarding the
reimbursement for the road costs. As you probably know, the costs
of the road are substantially higher than anticipated due to the
city road specifications. My understandingfrom you is that you
have a commitment from the City that they will participate at least
to the level of $65,000 or more in regard to those costs. I would
think that John's building alone, much less the other buildings
that will be constructed in the future, will justify more than the:
$65,000. However, it is very t that we got the plan in
place. The ice arena people ant start right away on their
construction but again that w 1 al held up until we can get
the increment issue resole Pully. easy 1 me hear from you.

FROM: Phyllis Boedigheimer, Finance Directo
DATE: July 26, 1995
SUBJECT: Insurance Program
As I indicated at the June 26, 1995 council meeting, there are a variety of insurance
options available to our City in all areas of interest. An insurance program can be
structured to our needs, dependent upon the City's commitment to an insurance program,
and the City's monetary contribution to that program..
I have worked with and received quotes from our current agent at First National
Insurance, and from another agent, T. C. Field & Company, for health, dental, life, short
term and long term disability insurance. I have attached a summary of the insurance plans
that K.C. Foster, First National Insurance has quoted and in addition, I have attached
quotes from T.C. Field & Company. Through the two agencies, quotes have been
obtained from Medica, Blue Cross, League Of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, Fortis,
Employers Health, Delta Dental, Guardian, and Woodman's Insurance. Quotes have been
received for a variety of options, for example, $10,000 and $15,000 life, various
deductibles for dental coverage, various benefits for short and long term disability, and a
variety of coverages for health insurance. Medica provided sixteen options. The quotes
are based on the current employee census assuming normal health conditions, final quotes
are subject to change based on completed health histories. I might also add that these
quotes are based on an August implementation.
I worked on developing a questionaire for our employees regarding their insurance needs,
but found it was impossible to question them, when at this time I did not have information
to provide regarding the various insurance options and the commitment from the City. All
employees are very interested and want an insurance program, but they can not make
decisions until they know the City's contribution.
I also have investigated the possibilities of implementing a Section 125 Plan. This plan is
known by a variety of names, for example, Cafeteria Plan or Flex Benefit Plan. It can be a
very simple plan allowing for employee share of medical premiums to be deducted pre-tax
to a more complex plan allowing for medical reimbursement, premiums, and child care to
be deducted pre-tax. Pre-tax also includes FICA, which would save the City, the City's
share of FICA. To implement a Section 125 Plan, three procedures are necessary, 1) the
City Council must formally adopt a plan, 2) the plan must be administered by staff, and 3)
IRS reporting requirements must be met. I believe that if the City Council would choose
to offer this program to its employees, it could be readily administered through the
Finance Department.
To summarize, I would request that the City Council provide direction to the following:
1. City's monetary commitment to the insurance program in a dollar amount
for all insurances, or the City could provide life insurance, short and long term disability,
and a spec dollar amount to health and dental with employees contributing for family
coverage, or some combination thereof.
2. Implementation of a Section 125 plan, and how that plan should be
structured based on decisions regarding the City's contribution.
3. MandAtory coverage for all employees and optional coverage for spouses
and dependents, or allowing employees to opt out of coverage, and whether they will be
allowed to receive cash in lieu of insurance. Some of the insurances, i.e. dental, require
100% participation.
After these decisions are made, I will then be able to pursue the appropriate insurance
package for the City's employees. I would anticipate the employees participation in the
decision process and final recommendation to the City Council.

IV. SHORT TERM DISABILITY & LONG TERM DISABILITY
League of MN Cities (current carrier) provides up to max of $300/wk for 26 weeks.
$81.00 per month.
Possible to add a long-term disability program onto the short-term thru the League
of MN Cities. It would be an initial benefit provided by the city with a voluntary option to
increase it. It is a guarantee issue program with a pre-existing clause of 6/3/24. Benefit period is
to age 65.
$500.00 per month - 6 month wait - paid by city $75.80
Optional is paid by Employee up to 5000 per month or 60% of earnings whichever is less. The
cost varies by age.
Another option is to go through Fortis Benefits and integrate a short term & long term program
that provides a better benefit. It is completely underwritten so if one employee is rejected then
the entire group would be rejected. It is a stronger benefit, but also more costly to the city.
A) Short Term 60% of earnings to 13 weeks
Long Term 60% of earnings starting at 3 months .....................$410.69 per month
B) Short Term 60% of earnings to 26 weeks
Long Term 60% of earnings starting after 6 months..................$396.42 per month
Each employee would receive a higher short-term benefit and a higher long-term benefit without
the employee having to pay additional.
This is a summary of your options. Thank you.

FROM: Phyllis Boedigheimer, Business Tinance Directo
DATE: June 26, 1995
SUBJECT: Attachment to June 26th Agenda Item 8.6 - City's Contribution to
Insurance Program
Currently the City's employee insurance program includes a short term disability policy
with Minnesota Mutual, a Life and AD&D policy with Blue Cross/Blue Shield and a
health insurance policy with Blue Cross/Blue Shield. The City provides the short term
disability insurance and contributes $150.00 toward employee health, life and AD&D.
The City's current policy allows employees to opt out of health insurance if they choose.
The City pays those employees $150.00 a month.
The short term disability premium is $81.00 a month for six employees or $13.50 per
employee. This coverage is effective the first day of accidential disability and the eighth
day of sick disability. This coverage pays up to $300.00 per week for 26 weeks. The
health insurance is a $300 deductible policy with an 80/20 split if within the network at a
monthly cost of $215.60 and $244.94 for the employees currently covered under the plan.
The Life and AD&D monthly premium ranges from $2.10 to $7.90 per employee.
I have received quotes for a variety of coverages from one insurance agent. It is obvious
that there are many options to choose from, and certainly a plan that could be structured
to work for the City. The following is an outline of the quotes I received, based on the
current employee census.
Medica Select with no co -pay - $166/mo. for single to $536/mo for family
MIC Choice which is a deductible plan - $105/mo single, to $340/mo family
There were nine options between the above best and least coverages.
Blue Cross/Blue Shield - various deductibles with an 80/20 plan
$140/mo single to $450/mo family for the least deductible to
$115/mo single to $369/mo family for a higher deductible to
Aware Gold at $157/mo single to $502/mo family.
Life Insurance - $10,000 - $3.00 to $6.50 or $28.90/mo for current employees
to $6.70/each employee or $40.20/mo.
Dental - Delta Dental - ranging from $7.75 single to $12.35 and from
$24.90 family to $36.45.
Short Term Disability - up to $250/week beginning at day one for accident and
day eight for sickness, up to 26 weeks for $35.00/employee
to $5.10 -$10.20 per employee or $50.10 per month.
As you can see from above, there are a variety of options available to the City for
insurance coverages. I also have information from the Public Employees Insurance
Program which offers three different health plans, Delta Dental and Life insurance through
Minnesota Mutual. The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust also offers health,
dental, life, short and long term disability. Both the League's insurance and PEIP must be
purchased through an agent. In addition, I have received information from the City's
short term disability agent, informing the City that the plan can be extended to a long term
disability at $80.40 a month for the current city employees.
The attached schedule is a sampling of sixteen cities outside of the immediate metro area
showing the type of insurance coverages provided and the city's contribution to employee
insurances. I hope this will be of some benefit to the City Council in their decision process
regarding the City's contribution to employee health, dental, life, and disability insurance.

FROM: Phyllis Boedigheimer, Finance Director
DATE: July 26, 1995
SUBJECT: Database Software
Councilmember Heidner requested that the City investigate the possibility of implementing
a database program for all of the City's property information. This issue is of particular
interest at this time because of the Database Intern hired by the EDA to gather information
and set up a database on the City's home occupations and home extended businesses.
Councilmember Heidner contacted the County and discovered that they would be very
interested in providing all their property information to us via computer software. This
would be a basis for our database to which we could add the specific information the City
needs.
I investigated cost of a database and spreadsheet software, specifically MicroSoft Access
and Excell. A single user copy of MicroSoft Access cost approximately $330 and Excell
cost approximately $320. Additional licenses would have to be purchased to use on a
network environment. I also learned that a single user copy of the total office products
packages now on the market, "Office Profession" would cost $599. This product includes
Word (word processing), Excell (spreadsheet), Powerpoint (presentation), Mail (e-mail),
and Access (database).
I think implementing a database for the entire city property information is an excellent idea
and one that should be pursued at a time when the information is still at a manageable
level. We will need to research the computer storage required for the database, the
specific information the City wants in the development of the database and the
requirements necessary for conversion of the county data.
Councilmember Heidner further indicated that he had contacted St. Thomas University
regarding the possibility of the project as an internship for computer science students. He
will be contacting the University regarding specifics of the project when the next school
year begins.
I would recommend that if a student internship is possible, the City authorize purchase of
one license of the software and incorporate the additional licenses in the 1996 budget.

FROM: Phyllis Boedigheimer, Finance Director ,
DATE: July 25, 1995
SUBJECT: Update on Storm Water District Process
Larry Koshak and I have met twice regarding the storm water tax districts. He has
provided various information regarding stormwater management and the possibilities of
implementing a tax or a utility fee. He has also estimated the number of units or REP's in
each watershed tax district, and developed a basic maintenance budget.
I was to refine the estimated number of REP's in each watershed tax district and to also
review the maintenance budget. I have not been able to complete this project by this date.
Larry indicated that a fee of $2 - $3 per month per REP is reasonable, but the number of
REP's in the City and a realistic maintenance budget is necessary to support the monthly
fee the City Council may impose upon the residents.
I have discussed the possibility of billing a monthly fee to the residents on their electric bill
with both electric utility companies in the City. They both have indicated to me that it was
possible for them to provide this service to the City. They both would need more specific
information before a firm commitment and cost could be quoted. This possibility would
certainly help in the collection process of the fee.
There are three procedures that need to be completed prior to actual implementation.
1) Schedule a workshop with the City Council, providing maps, actual
number of REP's, a maintenance budget, new construction projections, and possible billing
procedures.
2) Order a public hearing.
3) Hold the public hearing and authorize implementation.
We need the month of August to prepare the proposed 1996 budget, therefore, I would
recommend that the City Council establish a worksession and subsequent public hearing in
September and early October. That schedule would allow time to get the fee on the
assessment roles should that be the method of billing the Council chooses. If billing
through the utility companies is the method used, it would allow them to set up their
system for billing by January 1996.
