ADJOURNMENT Next Regular City Council Meeting: Monday, November 4, 2024 7:00 p.m. Hastings, Minnesota City Council Workshop October 7, 2024 The City Council of the City of Hastings, Minnesota met in a workshop on Monday, October 7, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. in the Community Room at the Hastings City Hall, 101 East 4th Street, Hastings, Minnesota. Members Present: Mayor Fasbender, Councilmembers Fox, Haus, Lawrence, Leifeld, Pemble, and Vihrachoff; Planning Commissioners Messina (Chair), Peters, Teiken, LeBrun, McGrath, and Swedin Members Absent: Commissioner Halberg Staff Present: City Administrator Dan Wietecha Assistant City Administrator Kelly Murtaugh Community Development Director John Hinzman Economic Development Coordinator Alex Menke Deputy City Clerk Emily King Mayor Fasbender called the workshop to order at 5:30 pm and welcomed councilmembers and Planning Commission members for a discussion on Highway 55 and updating the Cannabis ordinance. Highway 55 Study Hinzman introduced HKGi representative, Bryan Harjes, to present the Highway 55/Jacob Avenue Growth Area plan. Harjes provided an overview of the components of the study, partners, and the project schedule. There are stakeholder engagement opportunities throughout the project. The area currently being studied lies outside the current city limits and would require annexation in the future. Harjes reviewed key findings of the area market scan. Recommendations include residential off the highway, reserving along the highway for commercial/retail spaces, including a trail system. There are several families that own the property and most of the current land use is agricultural. Future land use from the Comprehensive Plan mirrors some of the key findings of the market scan and recommendations. Harjes then reviewed at a high level, the stormwater management, water main, and sanitary sewer potential plans. Key considerations include sanitary sewer capacity, need for water tower, timing of roadway improvements, park/trail development, visions for the community gateway, timeline of property owner interest in development, and economic development interests. Posing a variety of questions, Harjes invited Council and Commissioners to engage in a visioning discussion. Menke clarified the role of the City in this process and that the city is not developing the property, but rather preparing to advise property owners as development interests as property becomes available. Council discussion on appreciation for the clarity of the city role and reminders about needs for a water treatment plant and reflecting on earlier discussions about sports/athletics complex needs in partnership with the school district. Council discussion on past discussions about a bypass around the city. Possible substation growth may be needed as well as any historic easements that may need to be attended to. Commissioner discussion on other good examples of gateway. Discussion about access as an important element to consider regardless of the type of development. General discussion about mix of commercial and residential opportunities. This mix could be traditional big box along highway, putting residential away from the highway or an urban format where the commercial is directly along the highway with parking behind or commercial on the first floor with residential above. Discussion on the developer often being more in control of what is developed based on what they are willing to pay the property owner, also relying on the zoning of the area. Discussion on possible amendments to zoning that would influence the interests in types of development, or influence through design guidelines. This planning is part of the sequencing process so the city can be intentional about where the infrastructure will be needed and how the city can plan for that. Discussion on the types of residential properties that they would like to see offered and what home ownership will look like in the future. Questions were raised about additional residential impact on travel into/out of the city and what HWY 55 future plans might be. Discussion on possible hotel accommodations on the west side of the city as well as county CDA opportunities. Additional discussion on the mix of retail, nonprofit and opportunities to create employment in the city. Menke invited additional feedback from Councilmembers or Planning Commissioners following the workshop. Cannabis Ordinance Amendments City Attorney Land reviewed the cannabis laws and changes that have been enacted at the State level in recent years. Initially, low-potency edibles were legalized, and the city enacted an ordinance to issue business licenses. Effective January 2025, the State will license cannabis businesses and licensed business will need to register with municipalities. Future approvals will obtain conditional use permits, rather than special use permits. Land review the 13 types of cannabis business that can be licensed by the State, grouped into 4 categories: Low potency, adult use retail, manufacture/industrial, and cultivation. Current ordinance allows licenses for low-potency products in areas zoned C3 and C4. Land offered options for consideration related to future registration of low-potency products, which include a distance between establishments, conditional use permit requirement, and expanding zones for retails sales. Discussion on the types of business and locations where lower-potency beverages or edibles should be available and concerns about availability to minors. Discussion about the possibility of statute potentially becoming more restrictive and impact on municipal decisions. Discussion about maintaining C3 and C4 with 500 ft distance between businesses. The presentation shifted to Adult-use retail and Land made recommendations on allowed zones and buffers between business or from certain types of establishments. Discussion on limiting registrations for Zone C4, adding downtown core and possibly Zone C3. Discussion regarding buffer zones of 500ft - 1000ft from schools, commercial day cares, residential treatment facilities, and park attractions and the option to reduce buffer areas over time. Discussion about the value and impact of buffer zones. Questions about what other cities are doing. Land indicated that some cities are situating cannabis retail in the commercial areas away from residential areas. Discussion about other border cities and challenges with traffic and access and providing sufficient retail options. Discussion about messages sent to businesses with decisions that are made regarding zoning and buffers. Land recommended that lower-potency beverages retail sale be permitted with on-sale and off- sale liquor licenses with no buffer zones and located in Zones C1, C2, C3, C4, DC and I1. There was general agreement with this recommendation. Land presented recommendations related to micro/mezzo, manufacturing testing, and medical combination businesses be in areas zoned I1 and I2 with 500 ft buffer from residential areas and requiring a conditional use permit. There was general agreement with this recommendation. For Cultivation, Land recommended zoning areas A, I1 and I2 with a conditional use permit and no buffer zones. These areas often require screening or a vegetative buffer and not be not visible from the right of way. There was general agreement with this recommendation. Land summarized the discussion about zoning among council and commissioners, noting that there will be defined performance standards, cannot be a nuisance, ensure that parking complies with zoning, that a security plan is approved. Land indicated that others have included an odor component to the ordinance and that there would be no home occupations for cannabis. Zoning discussion will continue at the upcoming Planning Commission meeting on October 28. Further discussion at a workshop will be needed to review the registration process and fees. Other considerations for discussion include on-site consumption and events permits. The ordinance amendments are anticipated to be address by City Council in November and December.

VIII-07 City Council Memorandum To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers From: Chris Jenkins, Parks & Recreation Director Date: October 21, 2024 Item: Approve Change Order Council Action Requested: Approve Change Order for Three Rivers Trail Reconstruction Project Background Information: The Three Rivers Trail segment connecting the Tuttle neighborhood to East 31st Street was recently awarded. During the design and engineering phase, staff removed a few elements to ensure the projected project costs remained within the budget allocation. After bids were received, and a pre-construction walk of the project, staff propose to return 2 elements to the project, and to provide funding for an unexpected and unknown element of the project. • Flint Hills Resources Pipeline Crossing: although it was known that this trail would cross FHR pipelines, it was not known until the project pre-con meeting that a high-pressure propane line was very shallow within the trail corridor. The pipeline is 2ft deep and at that shallow depth requires extra precautions for equipment and trucks to cross. • Spur Trail: a spur trail that connects this trail segment to the Three Rivers Neighborhood was removed from the bid package, it is now apparent that it should be returned to the project, and funding is available. This is a major connection between the neighborhood and the main trail. • ADA Pedestrian Ramp: the current project includes replacement of one ADA Ped Ramp on the west side of the intersection of East 31st Street and Amelia Avenue. It is apparent the eastern ADA Ped Ramp should also be replaced with this project, and the cost will remain within budget. Our contractor has provided a cost estimate of $37,448.25 to complete this extra work. VIII-08 Financial Impact: Project to remain within authorized budget. Total budget for the project authorized in the 2024 budget: $393,000. • Design & Engineering - $41,000 • Survey - $2,800 • Construction - $249,532.50 o Total cost prior to change order: $293,332.50 o Change order cost: $37,448.25 ▪ Total project cost including change order: $330,780.75 Advisory Commission Discussion: None Council Committee Discussion: None Attachments: ▪ Change order cost estimate. ▪ Project images related to change order request.

Background Information: The assessment abatement program provides federal funding through the Dakota County Community Development Agency to the City for assistance with financing assessments to owner-occupied low and moderate income households. The 2024 Neighborhood Infrastructure Improvements included Brooke Lane, Brooke Court, 21st Street West, Highland Drive, 17th Street West, and Brittany Road. The project impacted 154 properties, all of which are single-family owner-occupied residential dwellings. During this year’s process, Nine (9) applications for assessment abatement were filed with the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA). This represents about 6% of owner-occupied households within the project area. The CDA has completed their review and determined that five (5) properties qualified for assistance, with one (1) household qualifying as low-income, and four (4) as a moderate-income household. These properties were assessed a total of $33,525.00. All four applications not awarded were found to be over the maximum income threshold to qualify for abatement. Financial Impact: The combined total of assessments against qualifying households is $33,525.00. The total Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) budget set aside for assessment abatement for the 2024 project was $67,273.00. Federal requirements call for 100% abatement of low-income households, and the City can choose to fund anywhere from 0% to 100% abatement for the qualifying moderate-income households. Staff Recommendation: The budget for the 2024 program is enough to provide the required full abatement to qualifying low-income households, and full abatement for qualifying moderate-income households. It is staff’s recommendation to maximize available CDBG Assessment Abatement funds and provide abatement in full to both the low-income and moderate-income households. Attachments: A listing of the properties eligible for assessment abatement and the amounts recommended to be abated is attached for City Council approval.

Advisory Commission Discussion: N/A Council Committee Discussion: N/A Attachments: ▪ N/A VIII-13 City Council Memorandum To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director Date: October 21, 2024 Item: Resolution: Authorize Conveyance of 213 Ramsey Street to HEDRA Council Action Requested: Adopt the attached resolution authorizing conveyance of the following properties collectively referred to as 213 Ramsey Street from the City of Hastings to the Hastings Economic Development and Redevelopment Authority (HEDRA). A simple majority is necessary for action. X-C-01 Background Information: The Hastings Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) acquired the property in 1998. In 2008, the property was conveyed from the HRA to the City. The City entered into a lease agreement with the ISD 200 to provide senior center and classroom space. The lease expired around two years ago. Since ISD 200 vacated the building, HEDRA has undertaken maintenance expenses. HEDRA is considering entering into a lease with the Hastings Prescott Arts Council (HPAC) to use the space. The parcel containing the north half of the building is owned by the City outright. The parcels containing the parking lot are jointly owned by the City and Patrick and Vivian Walker, owner of the south half of the building. Land Ownership Precedent Property held for a long term or permanent purpose is generally held by the City. Property identified for redevelopment have been held by HEDRA. HEDRA has identified the property for redevelopment in the future. Transfer of the property to HEDRA would be consistent with ownership precendent.

X-C-01 City Council Memorandum To: Mayor Fasbender and City Councilmembers From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director Alex Menke, Economic Development Coordinator Date: October 21, 2024 Item: Approve Dakota County CDA to Administer LAHA Funds Action Requested: Review and act on the attached resolution, committing the City of Hastings’ Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) funding to be administered by the Dakota County CDA for a period of three years and designating the minimum funding percentages for the two proposed programs. A simple majority is necessary for actions. LAHA: LAHA was adopted by the 2023 the State Legislature increasing the sales tax revenue within the seven-county metropolitan area and directing funds towards individual cities to foster affordable housing development and preservation. In July, representatives from the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) spoke to a joint group of Hastings City Council members and HEDRA Commissioners to discuss LAHA funds and potential collaboration opportunities. In 2024, the City will receive $114,387.44 in LAHA funding, which must be committed within three years. The CDA is offering to collaborate with the City to use its LAHA funding to support two programs, the Home Improvement Loan Program and the Radon Mitigation Grant Program. The Home Improvement Loan Program provides up to $35,000 in a 0% deferred loan to single- family homeowners earning no more than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The Radon Mitigation Grant Program would provide free radon testing to clients of the Home Improvement Loan Program and would provide grant funding for radon mitigation to those homeowners with incomes at or below 80% AMI. The CDA is asking for a minimum funding commitment of three years and for direction of how the funding will be split between the two programs. Staff proposes a minimum percentage based split committing 50% towards the Home Improvement Loan Program and 25% toward the Radon Mitigation Grant Program. Any remaining funding percentage that is uncommitted to X-C-02 either program will be placed in a flexible account that can be spent on either of the two programs or on additional gap financing for affordable housing projects. HEDRA Review: At the October 10, 2024 meeting the Hastings Economic Development and Redevelopment Authority (HEDRA) voted 7-0 to recommended approval for the CDA to administer LAHA funding as proposed to the City Council.

HEDRA is authorized to execute the joint powers agreement related to partnership with the Dakota County CDA ADOPTED BY THE HASTINGS CITY COUNCIL THIS 21ST DAY OF OCTOBER 2024 X-C-02 _____________________________________ Mary Fasbender, Mayor _____________________________ Kelly Murtaugh, City Clerk X-C-02 To: City of Hastings From: Dakota County Community Development Agency Date: September 30, 2024 Re: Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) Collaboration Opportunity Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) staff were invited to nine Dakota County cities from June – September 2024 to discuss the Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) funds and potential collaboration opportunities. CDA staff appreciated learning more about the housing needs within your communities and how we can work together to make a difference with this new funding source exclusively for affordable housing. The first portion of 2024 LAHA funds have been distributed to the metro cities and counties. LAHA recipients have three years to commit the funds and another year to fully spend the funds. If the funds are not spent within those four years, the funds will be returned to the State. Annual reporting will begin December 1, 2025, with the reporting instrument yet to be developed by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA). Based upon the well-received LAHA conversations, the CDA is formally requesting to collaborate with the cities to administer two programs: 1) an expansion of the CDA’s existing Home Improvement Loan Program (rehab program); and 2) a new radon mitigation grant program that will be paired with the rehab program. The CDA will continue to have conversations with cities about utilizing LAHA funds for preservation and new construction gap financing, but we are not requesting cities commit to participating in that program at this time. We are only asking for a decision to collaborate on the rehab program and radon mitigation program so that we can add staff capacity to effectively deploy city LAHA funds. LAHA funds cannot currently be used to pay for administrative expenses. At its September 25 meeting, the CDA Board of Commissioners approved the use of CDA levy funds to pay for a full-time home improvement advisor to administer and deploy city LAHA funds. The use of LAHA for administration dollars will be tracked, evaluated, and advocated for at the State to be an eligible use. If statutory authority ever allows LAHA to be used for administrative expenses, the CDA will determine a formula and will amend agreements with cities. With the additional staff capacity, we estimate that we could deploy approximately $1.2 million of LAHA on the expanded rehab program and the new radon mitigation grant program. We are asking for cities to commit a minimum amount to the programs for a three-year term. Those X-C-02 cities that choose not to participate in 2024 may, of course, decide to collaborate with the CDA in the future. As an administrator of LAHA funds on behalf of the city partners, the CDA will be responsible for: administering the programs; appropriately allocating and expending LAHA funds on eligible uses; hiring and supervising staff; providing regular updates to city staff; and completing reporting requirements for the LAHA funds administered by the CDA. See the attached CDA/City LAHA Partnership Proposed Term Sheet for additional information. The CDA is requesting a formal response from cities no later than Monday, December 2, 2024, stating if the city will collaborate with the CDA on the two programs offered for the 2024 LAHA funds. A formal response must be taken by the city elected officials in the form of a resolution. A sample resolution is attached for your consideration. After responses are received, CDA staff will work with city staff to draft joint powers agreements (JPA). Approving a resolution in support of collaborating does not mean a city must sign the JPA if the CDA and the city cannot agree upon the terms. We look forward to working with your community on this important resource to improve existing housing stock in Dakota County. Please contact Lisa Alfson at lalfson@dakotacda.org or 651- 675-4467 if you have any questions. Best regards, Tony Schertler Executive Director X-C-02 Dakota County CDA-City Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) Partnership PROPOSED Term Sheet The Dakota County CDA (CDA) provides housing and economic development assistance to residents and cities in Dakota County. As a leader in affordable housing and community development, the CDA seeks to partner with interested Dakota County municipalities to use their LAHA funds for three programs that are considered qualifying projects as defined in Minnesota Statutes 477A.35. The CDA will enter into Joint Powers Agreements (JPAs) with each city for the administration of the LAHA funds. Here are the proposed terms for the partnership between the cities and CDA for the administration of the LAHA dollars. The CDA is open to discussing these proposed terms and how they can be improved to best serve the needs of the cities and the CDA. 1. Expanded Home Improvement Loan Program (Rehab Program): LAHA funds will be administered in accordance with the Home Improvement Loan Program policy and procedures handbook. Households at or below the 80% Area Median Income (AMI) will be prioritized. If/when there are no priority households on the waiting list to be served, the CDA will then consider serving households above 80% AMI to the maximum LAHA income limit of 115% AMI. See attached program summary for details. 2. Radon Mitigation Grant Program: This newly created grant program will pay for the radon testing and installation of a mitigation system, if needed. At this time, this program will only be for clients of the Rehab Program. See attached program summary for details. 3. Timeframe: The CDA is requesting to enter into a multi-year agreement (3-5 years) on agreed terms. Each city will decide annually whether it wants to continue providing its LAHA funds to the CDA for the proposed programs. Each city’s annual allocation for the proposed programs will be an addendum to the agreement. Previous years’ funds will remain with the CDA under the terms of the agreement. 4. Reporting: The CDA will provide data and will complete reporting forms for city partners that the cities will need to submit to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA). Because the CDA is not a direct recipient of LAHA funds, we do not believe we can submit the forms to MHFA. However, we will provide all requested information related to the CDA-administered programs in whatever form is required by MHFA. The CDA will provide quarterly reports to the cities regarding project pipeline, project start and completion dates, amount spent on project, and other information as requested. Identifying data for individual clients for the Rehab and Radon programs will be aggregated by city. X-C-02 5. Funding Commitment: If your community chooses to allocate funds to the Rehab and Radon mitigation programs, the CDA respectfully requests cities commit the same amount of funding or more each year for a minimum of three years. Having a baseline funding amount and a funding commitment creates stability for the programs and allows rehab staff to work through waiting lists for the programs. Additionally, a stable funding source gives the CDA the confidence to hire additional staff to administer the cities’ LAHA funds. 6. Program Income: As loans from the Rehab program are paid back, the CDA could retain these funds in individual city accounts and reuse the funds for other affordable housing projects. The CDA anticipates recycling Rehab loan payoffs for future single-family home loans. 7. Administrative Costs: Because the legislation does not allow LAHA to be used for administrative costs, the CDA Board has committed CDA levy funds to support an additional home improvement advisor to assist with the deployment of the cities’ LAHA funds. However, if/when there is a change in the LAHA legislation to allow these funds to be used for administrative costs, the CDA will request that a portion of the LAHA funds be used for administrative costs rather than the CDA’s levy. 8. Withdrawal: Either the city or the CDA may withdraw from the JPA at the end of the term of the agreement or when committed LAHA funds have been expended on qualifying projects. Neither the city nor the CDA may withdrawal from the agreement until the end of the term unless mutually agreed upon. 9. Finances: The CDA is proposing to hold and track CDA-administered LAHA funds on behalf of the cities. X-C-02 Project Proposal: Expanded Single-Family Home Improvement Loan Program Project Purpose: Expand the existing CDA-administered Home Improvement Loan Program to include Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) funding. The expanded Home Improvement Loan Program would be available to residents earning no more than 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). Those homeowners who earn between 81-115% AMI in cities that contribute to the expanded Home Improvement Loan Program will be placed on a waitlist and will be eligible for the program only if there are no homeowners below 80% AMI on the waitlist. Project Objectives: • Continue to improve the housing stock of Dakota County. • Expand existing program with proven results to more income-eligible residents of County. • Provide cities with a way to use LAHA for an existing housing program. • Diversify funding resources for an existing CDA program. Project Outcomes: • Increase number of homes improved from 60-70 per year to 115-120 per year after Year 2 of infusion of cities’ LAHA funds. Project Details: • Provide deferred 0% loans of up to $35,000 for home improvement projects. • Home improvement projects prioritize health, safety, and structural integrity issues. o Common improvements include new roofs, siding, HVAC systems, windows, building foundation or other structural updates, accessibility improvements, kitchens and bathrooms(accessibility). o Other improvements would be considered if they address health and safety issues or otherwise improve the value of the home. Common improvements are repairs or replacement of detached garages, kitchens and bathrooms (non-accessibility), driveway replacement/repair • Homeowners must be income eligible and meet other CDA program requirements, e.g. own and reside in home, meet credit standards, be current on property taxes, properties must be at least 15 years old, etc. o CDBG funds require 80% AMI cap o LAHA requires 115% AMI cap • Eligible homeowners with incomes at or below 80% AMI could use either countywide and city CDBG and cities’ LAHA funds. • Eligible homeowners with incomes between 81-115% AMI would use only available city LAHA funds and only if there are no homeowners with incomes at or below 80% in that city. • Program income generated from LAHA would be used for future home improvement loans, similar to the CDBG program. The CDA would track program income and deposit into individual city accounts. X-C-02 Project Funding: • Current CDBG entitlement funding totals $1,193,635 for FY 2023, which includes cities and Dakota County CDBG allocated to the CDA’s existing Home Improvement Loan Program. • CDA spends approximately $1,900,000 to rehab 70 homes in a fiscal year, on average. These loans are currently financed primarily with federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, though there are some CDA levy dollars included. o Takes about 18 months to fully expend a year’s worth of CDBG and program income. o Funds are replenished annually, provided Congress funds the CDBG program. • Future LAHA – CDA estimates it could successfully deploy an additional approximately $1,400,000 to rehabilitate an additional 55 loans per year after first full year of additional funds. • Individual cities contributing their LAHA funds to the expanded Home Improvement Loan Program would have separate subaccounts that will be tracked by CDA staff. Project Staff: • Existing staff: o 1 FT Rehab Coordinator o 1 FT Rehab Advisor o 1 FT PSA o 2 Rehab Advisor contractors – each takes 5-7 files per year, total of 15 • One additional FT Rehab Advisor will be needed to deploy city LAHA funds. The CDA Board of Commissioners has committed to funding this position with CDA levy until the Local Affordable Housing Aid legislation is changed to allow LAHA funds to be used for administrative costs. At that time, the CDA will work with cities to use a portion of the LAHA funds for the Rehab Advisor position. Project Reporting: The CDA would provide annual reports to participating cities and Dakota County. The annual report would include the following: o Community’s contribution to program that fiscal year o Number of loans using LAHA o LAHA funds expended o Program income generated X-C-02 Proposed Project: Dakota County Homeowner Radon Testing and Mitigation Grant Program Project Purpose: The average radon level in Minnesota is more than three times higher than the U.S. radon level. This is due to our geology and how our homes operate. Minnesota homes are closed up or heated most of the year, which can result in higher levels of radon. In Minnesota, more than two in five homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk. Exposure to radon over a prolonged period can lead to lung cancer. Minnesota Department of Health website The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set the action level at 4 pCi/L (picocuries of radon per liter of air). The Minnesota Department of Health recommends installing a radon mitigation system when the radon level is at 4 pCi/L or higher. Between 2 and 4 pCi/L, a radon mitigation system should be considered to lower the level as much as possible. The average indoor radon level in Dakota County is 3.6 pCi/L as determined by radon test results from AirChek, an at-home radon testing company. There is no safe level of radon in a home. The proposed Homeowner Radon Testing and Mitigation Grant program would provide free testing services to clients of the Home Improvement Loan Program and would provide free mitigation services for those residents whose homes have radon levels greater than 2.6 pCi/L. A lower radon level was chosen as the benchmark in order to reduce radon levels in existing homes as much as possible. The Radon Grant Program will be paired with the CDA’s Home Improvement Loan Program. Homeowners in the Home Improvement Loan Program have incomes at or below 80% of Area Median Income. By pairing a Radon grant with a Home Improvement Loan, homeowners can stretch their loans to cover more items that need improvement. Project Objectives: • Continue to improve the housing stock of Dakota County. • Reduce potential future risk of lung cancers in Dakota County residents. • Provide cities with a way to use Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA). Project Outcomes: • Test at least 50 homes in Dakota County for radon per year. The homes will be those of clients in the Home Improvement Loan Program. • Install radon mitigation systems in all homes assessed for radon with levels greater than 2.6 pCi/L per year, subject to available funding. • Reduce the number of homes with high radon levels. Mitigation systems would be required to reduce radon to < 2.0 pCi/L. Project Details: • Provide grants to clients of the Home Improvement Loan Program to test for and mitigate radon when levels are 2.6 pCi/L or greater. X-C-02 • Homeowners must own and reside in home, be current on property taxes, and be income eligible. o CDBG funds require 80% AMI cap o Sales tax funds require 115% AMI cap • Homeowners would need to sign a grant agreement if they are recipients. • Homeowners will solicit bids from two licensed mitigators; CDA will evaluate bids for cost reasonableness. • CDA will pay mitigators upon completion of project and satisfactory clearance test numbers (< 2.0). Project Funding: • Funding exclusively through LAHA funds. • Estimate program would need $200,000 per year to assess for and install radon mitigation systems in at least 50 homes per year. • LAHA funds would be placed in individual city accounts at the CDA and will be spent within the four-year spending deadline. • The individual city accounts will be tracked by the CDA. Project Staff: • The Radon Mitigation Grant program would use existing Home Improvement Loan Program staff and the additional Home Improvement Loan Program staff that will be hired to deploy LAHA funds. Project Reporting: The CDA would provide annual reports to participating cities and Dakota County. The annual report would include the following: o Community’s contribution to program that fiscal year. o Number of grants using LAHA funds. o Amount spent per year. X-C-02 City Council Memorandum To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers From: City Administrator Dan Wietecha Date: October 21, 2024 Item: PFAS Update Council Action Requested: Change sequencing of construction schedule and phase in water rate increases during 2025. Background Information Hastings has PFAS contamination in all six of our municipal wells (specifically PFOA in all six wells and PFOS in two wells). PFAS contamination of the aquifer would also impact other potential wells, including the future Well #9 site. Under the Clean Drinking Water Act, the City has a compliance deadline of April 2029. The City has completed a Feasibility Study to consider alternatives to mitigate the PFAS. The study recommended construction of three decentralized water treatment plants for PFAS and Nitrate removal. The current construction cost estimate is $68.9M with expectation to trend higher. Without financial assistance, water rates would need to double in three years and triple in five years. The City has been exploring and pursuing multiple opportunities to offset this “budget buster” expense. In October, the State’s Co-Trustees (MPCA and DNR) agreed that there is a connection between Well #5 and the 3M Cottage Grove site and that the costs associated with Well #5 (to be treated with the central WTP) would be eligible for funding under the 2018 Settlement Agreement. General Work Plan Up To This Point The general plan has been to build one WTP per year for three years, with completion around November 2028, a cushion of about 4-6 months ahead of the 2029 deadline. Design work is well underway for the eastern WTP (WTP 1) which is located in the Industrial Park, a commercial site on City-owned land. Anticipating this WTP being put out for bids in early 2025, the proposed budget includes a 37.3% water rate increase effective January 1, 2025. Construction of this plant would be followed by the central and western WTPs (WTPs 2 and 3), along with projected water rate increases over 40% each year. Presently, the City is reviewing commercial property appraisal and about to begin negotiating purchasing property for both of these WTPs. X-E-01 The City currently has grant applications pending for the eastern and central WTPs (WTPs 1 and 2). Proposed New Work Plan Going Forward In seeking various grant applications and other financial assistance, we have repeatedly said the project would “follow the funding.” The recently approved 3M Settlement funding for Well #5 is estimated at $14.5M and is the first significant outside money we’ve had directed towards the project. Recommendation 1: I recommend flipping the sequence of the construction schedule: proceed with the central WTP (WTP 2) in 2025 and delay the eastern WTP (WTP 1) until 2026. Proceeding with the WTP that has significant outside funding has two major advantages. 1) It would mean a smaller water rate increase for our residents and businesses (more about this below). 2) It gives us additional time to seek state bonding, grants, and/or direct connection to 3M Cottage Grove before proceeding with the other WTPs. Recommendation 2: I recommend a two-step water rate increase in 2025, with a 10% increase effective January 1, 2025, and a second increase to be determined effective July 1, 2025. I very roughly estimate the needed increase to be around 20% to 22%, including 3.5% for base inflation and CIP/CEP. We estimate the costs associated with Well #5 to be $14.5M, but that amount has not been reviewed or approved by the Co-Trustees. And, we cannot even submit the project for review and approval until the planning and engineering are at a 60% design stage. Since this WTP was not planned until 2026, the engineering has not yet started. It can start soon, but it will be several months before 60% design. Delaying the second “half” of the water rate increase until mid-year would allow us a better handle on the construction costs and the Settlement funds. In the meantime, we will continue pursuing additional money through grants, state bonding, and the 3M Settlement. Upon City Council approval of these recommendations, we will immediately update the communication materials for our residents and businesses to reflect the changes in water rates and the construction schedule. Financial Impact: Not applicable Committee Discussion: Not applicable Attachments: Not applicable X-E-01 City Council Memorandum To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers From: Dan Wietecha, City Administrator Date: October 21, 2024 Item: Employee Recognition Policy Council Action Requested: Review and approve updated Employee Recognition, Safety, and Wellness Policy. Background Information: The most recent Employee Recognition Policy was adopted in 2009. At that time, the policy provided for longevity and service recognition. State statute allows cities to operate and expend funds toward preventive health and employee recognition programs. In the years since the earlier policy was adopted, additional recognition and preventative health and employee safety practices have emerged and need to be recognized in a more comprehensive policy. The purpose of the Employee Recognition, Safety and Wellness program is to acknowledge the dedicated service to the City of Hastings and provide for the safety and well-being of its employees. The Administration Committee reviewed the components of the recognition policy and recommended investment in recognition and well-being as critical to attracting and retaining high-performing employees to the City. Historically, funds for employee recognition have been included in the budget and/or were provided for by a wellness grant. These grant funds are no longer available for that purpose; therefore, a budget amendment request will come forward to Council next month. Financial Impact: Included in proposed 2025 budget, approximately $3000 over prior budget. Advisory Commission Discussion: N/A Council Committee Discussion: The Administration Committee (Leifeld*, Haus, Pemble) met on August 12, 2024. Attachments: Employee Recognition, Safety, and Wellness Policy X-E-02 Employee Recognition, Safety and Wellness Policy Minnesota Statute 15.46 PREVENTIVE HEALTH SERVICES FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES. The commissioner of the Department of Management and Budget may establish and operate a program of preventive health services for state employees and shall provide the staff, equipment, and facilities necessary to do so. The commissioner shall develop these services in accordance with the accepted practices of and standards for occupational preventive health services in the state of Minnesota. Specific services must be directed to the work environment and to the health of the employee in relation to the job. The commissioner shall cooperate with the Department of Health as well as other private and public community agencies providing health, safety, employment, and welfare services. A county or a statutory or home rule charter city may establish and operate a program of preventive health and employee recognition services for its employees and may provide necessary staff, equipment, and facilities and may expend funds as necessary to achieve the objectives of the program. Purpose: The purpose of the Employee Recognition, Safety and Wellness Program is to acknowledge dedicated service to the City of Hastings and provide for the safety and well-being of its employees. Objectives: • Create awareness of resources and programs to promote recognition, safety, and well-being of employees. • Attract and retain employees through engagement. • Promote safe work behaviors to reduce accident and injury. • Reduce health care costs through healthy choices and preventive health resources. • Support teambuilding and collaboration within and across departments. • Share recognition of employee accomplishments across the city. • Create a culture of engagement and identify the City as an employer of choice. An Employee Recognition, Safety and Wellness Program aligns with the City’s Core Values of Communication, Optimal Service, Respect for Resources, and Enthusiasm. Studies have shown that recognition and employee support positively impact productivity, employee retention, and effectiveness. The City Council has demonstrated that this kind of support for city employees meets a public purpose and have the authority to offer that support through offering this program. The program is adopted as additional compensation for work performed by employees. EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM Service Awards Service awards are based on an employee’s length of continuous service to the City of Hastings. The awards include all regular employees, as well as paid on-call firefighters and police reservists. Service will be honored in five-year increments. Awardees will be recognized annually at the last City Council meeting of the calendar year and with a reception following the meeting. Each awardee will receive an article of recognition as well as a certificate that is redeemable through an awards catalog. Awards will be offered in the following increments: X-E-02 Years of Service Award Amount 5 $25.00 10 $50.00 15 $100.00 20 $150.00 25 $200.00 30 $350.00 35 $500.00 Employees who are retiring in a year in which they are eligible for service recognition and retire prior to the end-of-year event, will be invited back to attend the Council meeting, and be recognized. All employees will be invited to an Annual Employee Recognition Lunch, where awardees will be recognized. Promotions Employees who are promoted from one position to another within the City, will be recognized at a Council meeting following their appointment to the new position. New Hires Newly hired employees will be recognized at a Council meeting following their appointment to the position. New hires will also be recognized in the employee newsletter, City Update, and at the annual Employee Recognition Lunch. Upon successful completion of the probationary period, new employees will be recognized with an article of recognition such as a plant or logo-wear, not to exceed $25. Departmental Recognition/Community Engagement Many municipal departments or roles have national recognition. Public Works, Police and Fire are some of the departments that host community events recognizing their contribution to the community. Other departments or roles are recognized in the weekly City Update. Individual departments may have internal recognition policies and practices. For example, Police Department employees are recognized for commendable or meritorious acts. Retirement The City may provide a plaque along with a cake or comparable food item (not to exceed $50.00) when a City employee in good standing retires, as defined as meeting the qualifications for retirement under the rules of the Public Employee Retirement Association. Any additional food or activities will be paid for and X-E-02 organized by employees. The Department may organize a voluntary collection towards a gift for the retiree. The City Council may draft a resolution of appreciation for recognition at a City Council meeting. The Retiree will be advised of the recognition plans and may elect not to be recognized in any of the forms listed. Compensation will not be paid to an employee in lieu of food item/reception. Retirees may receive a one-time payment for advance notice in accordance with the provisions outlined in the Advance Notice Program. Leaving Employment/Service Employees may organize and pay for food or activities to recognize another employee leaving city employment. The Department may organize a voluntary collection towards a gift for the departing employee. The departing employee will be advised of the recognition plans and may elect not to be recognized in any of the forms listed. The City may provide a gift of appreciation to recognize a Mayor or Councilmember leaving service. Informal Recognition Informal recognition of employees can happen anywhere, anytime. Supervisors, coworkers, and residents are encouraged to celebrate excellence or appreciation for the work of City employees. Informal recognition may occur in person or in writing. Volunteers The City may pay reasonable and necessary expenses related to a volunteer recognition and appreciation program. The City may sponsor volunteer recognition and appreciation events which may include food or refreshments for volunteer members of the City’s Police Reserves and City Commissions. Employee Wellness and Recognition Committee The City has an employee committee dedicated to providing and promoting recognition and wellness activities. The Employee Wellness and Recognition Committee will recommend appropriate activities and plan related events, within the approved budget. The City supports other events that are planned and paid for by employees, such as employee potluck lunches or other health/wellness-related activities. EMPLOYEE SAFETY PROGRAM The City has an employee committee that is responsible for reviewing and updating the safety programs, analyzing safety data, and recommending employee training. The Employee Safety Committee is X-E-02 comprised of employees who hold certain roles, ensuring an ongoing commitment that is defined based on job description. The City will hold a membership to the Minnesota Safety Council or other appropriate organization for access to resources that support and promote safety initiatives at the City. X-E-02
