Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
In this the 50th anniversary of the City of Woodbury’s establishment, it is my honor and pleasure to transmit the
fiscal year 2018 Budget for the City of Woodbury in accordance with the obligations set forth in Section 2-45 (a) (5)
of the City of Woodbury Code of Ordinances. The annual budget document contains financial information on the
City's General, Special Revenue, Capital Project, Enterprise, Internal Service, and Debt Service funds for your review
and consideration. The budget also incorporates performance measurement information for a number of service
areas. Performance management focuses on results residents expect from the services provided by the City and
provide a higher level of accountability through annual performance reporting are included in the budget document.
I believe all this information will aid the City Council in making informed financial and service delivery decisions.
This is my fourteenth budget that I have submitted to you as City Administrator, and I can assure the citizens of
Woodbury that all revenues and expenditures have been thoroughly scrutinized, are within the City Council’s target-
based budget direction and allow us to meet the mission, vision and values of the City. This ideal is most eloquently
stated in the mission statement of the City of Woodbury, originally adopted in 2007 and revised in 2011:
The annual budget document provides a financial plan to execute the services and priorities of the Woodbury City
Council. The budget document consists of the following sections:
In the Executive Summary, the City Administrator’s budget transmittal letter highlights the overall
strategies, priorities, programs, services and funding plan of the City. Community, organization and budget
overview information and the basis for our budget is provided in the remainder of the Executive Summary.
The General Fund section of the budget contains financial summaries of our operating divisions with
performance measurement data, budget highlights, personnel totals and a multi-year detailing of the line item
budgets.

The Special Revenue Funds section account for proceeds that must be used for specific uses to provide an
extra level of accountability and transparency that the monies in these accounts will go toward their intended
purposes. They can be supported by a wide range of proceeds including property tax dollars.
To support acquisition of more expensive, long-life equipment, and construction or reconstruction of City
facilities and infrastructure, the various Capital Project Funds appropriate and list intended items for next
year.
The City of Woodbury operates a number of self-supporting business enterprises whose operations are
funded by fees and charges and not by property taxes. These are located in the Enterprise Funds section of
the budget.
The City’s risk management and insurance programs are housed in the Internal Service Fund. Also in
the Other Funds tab is a detailed listing of our principal and interest expenditures accounted for in the
Debt Service Fund summary.
The last two sections of the budget are informational documents relative to the five-year Capital
Improvement Plan and the appendix which has various statistical and supplemental data to provide readers
additional information pertaining to the City of Woodbury. This includes a glossary of the various budget
and financial terms used throughout the documents.
The budget is the major City policy document that establishes the operational plan to provide continuing quality and
affordable services, and also sets forth the strategy for continued progress in meeting the City’s capital investment
needs. The operating, capital and enterprise fund budgets seek to strike a balance between the need for fiscal restraint
and the need to support a growing, high-quality city. The City develops its operating and capital budget based on a
conservative forecast of revenues and does not take into account new revenues from growth unless they are
sustainable over a multi-year period of time. Our financial goal is to balance community needs with municipal
resources through a planned approach to the governance process. As a result of conservative budgeting practices, the
City retains a strong financial position as evidenced by our AAA bond rating.
Macro budget matters: The following were the key macro considerations made by the City Council for this budget:
A. Conducting the business of the City of Woodbury involves a total budget of $84.1 million – up 3.2 percent
compared to last year, broken into hundreds of accounts in over 33 funds spanning more than 26
divisions. For this fiscal year, the more significant changes are associated with our park and street
reconstruction capital project funds, Water and Sewer Utility and EMS funds, along with the City’s
largest fund – the General Fund.
Where does the money come from?
The City’s total budget is funded through a diverse collection of resources. Many of the resources
received are dedicated to a specific purpose and cannot be spent on other services or programs. For
example, revenues received from water service rates can only be used for that purpose and cannot be
used to pay for general services or other types of services. As noted in the chart below, property taxes
make up the largest share of our proceeds at 41 percent of the total adopted budget.

With infrastructure added in, Engineering and Public Works handles the largest portion of our budget.
The largest component of our operating spending falls within Public Safety because they have the largest
contingent of personnel associated with their mission (police, fire, emergency medical services and

B. The most substantial 2018 budget initiative relates to our water and sewer rates for the Water and Sewer
Utility enterprise fund. The budget implements the following rate adjustment plan:
1. Continue annual irrigation meter rate adjustments toward the City Council selected target amount
using the proceeds for commercial, HOA and residential irrigation conservation incentive
programing.
2. Transfer utility special assessments to the utility rates
3. Fund approximately 50 percent of the requested need per the 10-year water and sewer utility capital
improvement plan
4. Defer utility Parks and Public Works building debt funding decisions to 2018 after final project
approval, bid letting and debt principal and interest rate determination
5. Use future debt service to fund large cost, long-term water treatment system improvements
6. Use reserves for a portion of the annual meter replacement program
After a decade of no water or operating sewer rate changes (excluding the Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services pass-through wastewater treatment charge), returning to annual rate adjustments
with a significant 2018 upfront change is necessary to reduce property owner liabilities and to equalize
our capital improvement funding policies along with supporting necessary system improvements.
Accordingly, the base water rate was approved to be adjusted from 88¢ per thousand gallons to $1.25 per
thousand gallons, along with rate tier adjustments described later in the transmittal letter. The current
City operating portion of the sanitary sewer rate flat quarterly charge is $21.74 and is approved to move
to $26.00, not including any pass-through cost changes from the Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services. Lastly, the second of five year planned irrigation rate changes for commercial and homeowner
association properties is to be implemented in 2018, changing the rate from $2.32 to $2.53 per thousand
gallons based on the five-step increase plan approved by the City Council in 2016.
C. Other funds with approved rate increases in 2018 are the Storm Water Utility Fund with a $0.45 per
quarter increase; and typical annual recreation, HealthEast Sports Center and Eagle Valley Golf Course
participant rate increases. No rate changes are planned for EMS and Street Lighting funds.
D. The largest source of revenue that typically makes up about 40 percent of the total budgeted revenues for
the budget is the property tax. The levy change percentage is approved to increase 3.79 percent based
on an established methodology used in past years; which is equal to the combination of percentage growth
in national wage and benefit inflation, Woodbury population percentage growth, the additions to support
special levies such as the street rehabilitation program cost per the accepted Street Rehabilitation Task
Force recommendations, debt and tax abatement obligations. Staffing additions to the paramedic
program for 2018 is typically in the special levy formula; however, the EMS Special Revenue Fund is
financially able to self-support the two additional paramedics this year. The resultant tax levy increase
is within the range of the past eight years and is the 8th lowest levy increase in the last 25 years; well
below the 25-year levy increase average of 9.15 percent and below our 15 year average of 4.6 percent.

E. The largest utilization and pressure upon property taxes is personnel costs for existing and the net addition
of new positions. Overall, this accounts for $1.37 million of the total budget increase, or 46 percent. Of
our operating General Fund expenditures, wages and benefits make up 75 percent of the total
expenditures of the fund. For 2018, the other significant expenditure growth areas are technology
($584,500) and insurance costs.
F. The impact of property tax decisions are dependent on the property valuation on which the tax is spread.
For 2018, there is an 8.1 percent increase in taxable market value to total $8.5 billion. When run through
the statutory property classification system, market value is transitioned to net tax capacity, which is
rising a corresponding 8 percent increase totaling over $89.7 million.

Strong Phase II residential development and commercial activity are an important part of our rising total
property valuation, with a number of subdivisions recently approved with others closely behind, along
with several commercial developments in the Bielenberg Gardens, Tamarack Interchange and CityPlace
development areas. Out of the end of the Great Recession, the residential sector has been fairly consistent
with the amount of new housing units developed from 2012 to 2017. For 2018, the expected housing
units are consistent with the 2017 budget.

New Commercial Construction
For 2017, our new commercial square footage significantly increased in comparison to past years.
Looking ahead to 2018, there will be continued activity at CityPlace and Bielenberg Gardens, as well as
the Tamarack Interchange area. We continue to see a steady reinvestment in commercial properties as
well.
G. With the fixed property values and the annually variable approved levy in hand, to affect the property
tax the levy is divided by the tax capacity to create a property tax rate. This rate is multiplied against the
individual property valuation per $1,000 to create the tax bill. A falling tax rate, for example, identifies
that the rate of growth in the tax levy is less than the growth in the net tax capacity. This does not signify
a drop in taxes, however, since:
1. Property values are used to “distribute” the tax burden - it doesn’t create the tax burden.
2. Property values are set independently by Washington County.
FY ’18 Budget Transmittal Letter to City Council
December 2017
ix
3. The levy amount is fixed and does not grow or fall based on changes in property valuation.
4. Each home’s characteristics and valuation are unique - it is hard to compare home-to-home.
5. The degree of change in property taxes will be impacted by the level of increase or decrease in
home value compared to the average.
6. The City Council controls only the City levy.
With the modest tax levy increase proposal and the strong property value growth, the property tax rate is
estimated to drop 4.1 percent to 33.684 percent. For a city to city comparison, tax rate is the most
comparable measure of property tax impact. Currently Woodbury has the 6th lowest tax rate amongst
our 17 city metro comparables. The next chart illustrates the annual rate of value change including the
effects of the excluded value (2012) and value determination methodology (2013) changes.

The impact to the MVH or AVH is dependent on the amount of the levy increase and the relationship
between changes in the residential values and commercial values. For example, when residential values
decline and commercial values hold steady, the impact of the levy increase was borne less by residential
and more by commercial. Of course, the opposite held true in the years of fast rising residential property
values, when the average residential value increased above the actual total levy rate increase. For 2017
tax year, the commercial value changes outperformed the residential values; and for 2018, there is a
return to a more balanced value growth between the two.
I. There is a net position addition of 6 FTE’s which is outlined later in the transmittal letter, employees per
population chart in the appendix, and in the individual departmental budgets. The current overall full-
time equivalents remain below our historic average.
Budget At-A-Glance: The following charts pull all the above highlights together and represents a high-level budget

Full-time Staffing Plan:
Woodbury complies with the Minnesota statutory “Truth in Taxation” (TnT) process enacted by the 1988 legislature
to improve local accountability by focusing taxpayers on the relationship between the budget process and property
taxes. The main purposes of TnT were to enhance public participation in Minnesota’s property tax system, to educate
the public on how property taxes are determined, to encourage the public to understand the local government’s budget
process and to encourage the public to become involved in helping local officials set spending priorities.
Under this law, the City Council is required to adopt a preliminary levy by Sept. 30 of each year. Although there are
some exceptions (e.g., referendums, court costs, etc.), the final levy cannot be increased above the preliminary levy
amounts reflected on the TnT notices. Washington County then takes the preliminary levy information from each
taxing entity and, in November, provides a parcel-by-parcel estimate of the impact of the maximum allowable levy
set by these jurisdictions and mails a notice to each property owner a maximum tax levy estimate and the dates the
final levies will be publically set. The following is an illustration of the internal annual process used for building our
municipal budget.

“What is the city but the people” William Shakespeare
2017 has been a period of reflection of our past as we consider the lovely community we have become and where we
are going now that we have reached our 50th anniversary. Woodbury has been blessed over the decades in so many
ways in large measure because of the quality of our community members, as William Shakespeare so eloquently
stated above. It was this recognition of the key roles our residents have played in our formation that led the Woodbury
City Council to adopt the motto “Woodbury is what it is because our citizens are who they are”.
Over 2017, we took the time and effort to celebrate our golden anniversary throughout the year, kicked off by our
first open-to-the-public “State of the City” address by Mayor Stephens at the Central Park amphitheater in February.
In March, we held our main 50th anniversary event partnering with the Woodbury Community Foundation for an
Anniversary Gala with live music, food and other activities at Central Park. The City had a 50th display at the
Woodbury Area Chamber of Commerce Community Expo.
As an important backdrop to the City 2018 budget development process, the U.S. and state economic outlook is
healthy according to most key economic indicators. More locally, as confirmed by the most recent Standard and
Poor’s financial rating analysis, the City's financial flexibility is demonstrated by its very strong fund general balance
as a percentage of expenditures. Our AAA rating is in large part attributable to:
• Very strong economy, with access to a broad and diverse metropolitan statistical area;
• Strong management, with "good" financial policies and practices under our Financial Management
Assessment methodology;
• Strong budgetary performance, with a slight operating surplus in the general fund and an operating surplus
at the total governmental fund level;
• Very strong budgetary flexibility, with an available fund balance of 30 percent of operating expenditures;
• Very strong liquidity, with total government available cash at 2.8x total governmental fund expenditures and
28.0x governmental debt service, and access to external liquidity we consider strong;
• Weak debt and contingent liability position, with debt service carrying charges at 10 percent of expenditures
and net direct debt that is 70.1 percent of total governmental fund revenue; and
• Strong institutional framework score.
In terms of community growth, our population continues to edge toward 70,000 as the 9th most populous city in the
State on the way to full development by 2040, with an estimated population of between 85,000 - 90,000. According
to a recent report from the State Demographer, Woodbury is one of the top five fastest growing cities in the state
since 2010.

international levels. Presently our unemployment rate is 2.9 percent with a record employment number for
Woodbury’s residents. Woodbury continues to have one of the lowest unemployment rates of any city in the state.

Our largest sources of financial volatility is the Metropolitan Fiscal Disparity1 program. The City of Woodbury is a
net “loser” in contributing more commercial property value than we receive back from the program. For the coming
budget year, our tax capacity contribution is $8,689,210 and our fiscal disparities distribution value is $7,686,168.
The net effect of this program has resulted in a change in our value contribution / received ratio, decreasing from 89.5
percent to 88.5 percent. This had the benefit of decreasing Woodbury’s tax capacity rate and resulting median value

Net Fiscal Disparities Contribution/Distribution Values
Looking forward to our next fifty years, a primary challenge of the City will be managing a budget in a taxing
environment that, based on our biennial survey, is concerned with property tax increases to maintain current service
levels. Despite these challenges and community changes, this budget preserves existing municipal services levels,
meets our contractual obligations, complies with increasing regulatory and legal requirements and funds market-
based employee compensation and pension benefits as required by law.
1 Since 1975, the Twin Cities area fiscal disparities program shares 40 percent of the growth in the commercial-industrial (C/I) property tax base of Anoka,
Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington counties. C/I property includes all businesses, offices, stores, warehouses, factories, gas stations, parking ramps, public utility property and vacant land which is zoned commercial or industrial.

A. General Fund:
REVENUES: The philosophy of conservatively budgeting revenues has been followed over the years because of the
limited control the City has over certain revenues like those associated with development. The General Fund
anticipates total revenues of $34,092,500 - which is 4.2 percent more than last year, to support General Fund
operations. The following are our largest fund’s revenue sources:
Gross Tax Levy – Property tax provides the greatest percentage of City tax revenue, which makes up 71
percent of General Fund revenues. The General Fund gross tax levy support is increasing 4.3 percent
compared to last year.
Property Tax Collections – Consistent with our 20-plus year historic average collection rate, a 99 percent
net collected property tax revenue collection is again recommended for this budget. The following is a chart

Development Fees & Permits – The 2018 budget has been prepared assuming a 4.5 percent increase of new
construction and reinvestment activity. Residential permit activity for 2018 is expected to be above last
year’s budget levels. Demand for commercial construction is strong as new projects, reinvestment and
redevelopment are bringing in a volume of significant permits. Woodbury’s healthcare industry, location
and core amenities provide a strong foundation for maintaining and expanding a vibrant residential economy.
With positive demand for homes in Woodbury, we project 2018 housing starts will be approximately 333
units. The Phase 2 area continues to bring additional land on-line for development, but it takes time for the
land entitlement process and infrastructure to be installed and ready for lots to be built.

Intergovernmental Revenue – These revenue sources are expected to slightly fall 1.3 percent. A portion of
this revenue category is Police State Aid and Peace Officer State Aid to subsidize pension costs / training
needs for local governments and police departments. These public safety aids are funded from insurance
premium tax proceeds, largely those related to automobile casualty risks. Municipal State Aid Street System
(MSAS) funds come from the State of Minnesota, including the constitutionally guaranteed nine percent of
95 percent of the highway user tax distribution fund from motor fuel and motor vehicles and a statutorily
dedicated portion of revenue from the state motor vehicle sales tax. These funds are intended to be a
mechanism to fund the collector and arterial streets located within Woodbury. MSA rules allow use of up to
25 percent of our MSA allotment for street maintenance efforts. We utilized approximately 13 percent of the
MSA funds available for this purpose redirecting $385,000 in revenue from the MSA Roadway Construction
Fund to the General Fund.

Recreational Fees - Fees and charges are evaluated annually and adjusted to the market. The 2018 budget
shows a ten percent increase in revenue reflective of additional programming and activity plus the recent
start-up of the City-run café operations at our Central Park location. The café space was budgeted in prior
years as lease revenues and is the main driver of the increase to recreational revenues for 2018.

Recreation Fees
Charges for Service - As a general rule, the people benefiting from a particular service should bear the cost
of providing the service. This revenue grouping is mostly made up of proceeds from our water tower rental
for cell phone service. Led by this line item, charges for services expect to have essentially no change
compared to last year.
Fine & Forfeits – Like charges for services, little change compared to last year is expected. This revenue
grouping consists primarily of a single major line item - police fines. These revenues reflect dollars received
through payment of criminal and traffic citations. The City receives only a fraction of the total amount paid
by a defendant. For example, a minor traffic violation carries a fine of $50. Of that, the City receives 2/3
($33) and the court receives 1/3 ($17). In addition to the fine, there is a state surcharge of $75 which goes
towards education, domestic violence advocacy, and conservation projects. So while the cost to the driver is
$125, the City receives only $33. Below is a history of our Public Safety fine and forfeitures:

Investment Earnings – The interest rate assumption will at last rise for 2018 as short-term interest rates start
to climb due to Federal Reserve interest rate increases. Based on compliance with our investment policy and
the low interest rates on available investment instruments for governments, as illustrated from the below
graph, investment revenues certainly have been affected by the low inflation environment. While the budget
anticipates an increase in 2018 returns, older investments need to mature in order to take advantage of the
higher rates now available.

Transfers In – This revenue grouping represents the various transfers for different City funds to account for
General Fund costs to support the activities. The Administration Fee revenue is from a charge to developers
for the implementation of public infrastructure. The overall change is 2 percent.
EXPENDITURES: The 2018 total General Fund budget equals $34,092,500; which is 4.2 percent more than last
year. In the breakout between operating expenditures, capital outlay and personnel services; most of the increase is
attributable to personnel services. The following are some of the significant changes in the General Fund expenditure
budget.
FY ’18 Budget Transmittal Letter to City Council
December 2017

Personnel Services – Expenditure changes can be broken into two almost equal cost groupings: existing
employee personnel expenditure changes such as the annual wage adjustments built into the salary line items
per our labor agreements, performance pay program, position changes, pension and insurance costs; and the
net addition of new positions. For existing employees, the budget will need to accommodate the wage
adjustment for our three labor groups and our medical insurance renewal cost changes. In the General Fund,
the wage adjustments account for $647,300 or 48 percent of the fund increase.
The worker’s compensation program with our Risk Management Fund will again be holding our modification
rate at the stable 1.0. The experience modification factor increased from 1.19 to 1.31 due to significant claims
in our three-year rating cycle. In order to keep the experience modification factor budgets at 1.0, use of
reserves is required in the amount of $177,000 for all funds. The charges to the General Fund are projected
to increase 7.4 percent due to payroll growth and classification rate changes.
Regarding new positions, with the added growth and population of the City, the budget includes a net full-
time equivalent (FTE) increase of 6.01. Compared to population levels, the City of Woodbury budgeted
staffing remains below our historical average, as it has since 2010. Details on the personnel changes are
found in division budgets and in the Appendix.
From a full-time equivalent perspective, the largest area of personnel addition is within the Police and EMS
Divisions budgets where two paramedics, one additional administrative support person and .35 part-time
community service hours/clerical support have been added. Fortunately, the EMS personnel can be paid for
by ambulance fee revenues this year instead of from the property taxes. The most recent integrated public
safety business plan adopted by the City Council in 2015 calls for hiring additional personnel over a series
of years to support the police officer / EMS/ firefighter programs. This plan sets a 2020 goal to have 1.15
police officers and paramedics per thousand population (MN State benchmark for sworn police personnel)
along with our community response standards established and adopted by City Council in 2008 as our guide
to staffing growth. The two additional paramedics will bring us to 1.13 police and paramedic personnel per
thousand population.
The most notable structural change is within two of the three support departments – Administration and
Information Technology (IT), that has two main components. The first is the Communications Division will
be moved from the Administration Department to IT, creating two divisions within IT. The new combined
department will be renamed Information and Communications Technology (ICT). This change recognizes
that communications is increasingly technology-driven and that technology and communications systems are
merging. The restructuring better marries technology with a communications focus so each area can provide
better support and back-up each other while deepening increasingly critical IT systems, website management
and social media support.
The second piece is the need to better resource the growing human resource (HR) function while also
providing greater leadership continuity and depth to the City organization. This is accomplished by
eliminating the Assistant to the City Administrator and Administration Services Director positions and
replacing them with a HR Manager and Assistant City Administrator positions. This will increase time
resources and focus to the HR Division; and the new Assistant City Administrator will serve as the
Administration department head, lead key strategic and organizational initiatives allowing the City
Administrator to be more accessible to the Council, senior management team and other critical, strategic
issues of the City.
FY ’18 Budget Transmittal Letter to City Council
December 2017

The final grouping of personnel changes is for front line personnel in the areas of utilities, parks and forestry
and Central Park café. For utilities, the budget will recognize the earlier elimination of the seasonal water
conservation officer and upgrading the position and hours to a regular part-time Environmental Technician.
A half-time utility billing technician will be added in Finance to address the growth in our utility billing
customer service workload, and full-time public service workers added to the utility and parks crews.
Operating Expenditures (non-personnel) – Over the last several budget cycles, operating expenditures
have fallen from 25 percent of our General Fund expenditure to the budgeted 23.2 percent. Of the General
Fund increase, operating expenses are actually increasing 2.5 percent and the remainder of the increase is
attributable to personnel expenses.
Unallocated Expenses - For 2018, we are proposing like last year a $500,000 transfer to the Capital
Improvement Fund, which is budgeted for in the Capital Improvement Fund and in the five-year Capital
Improvement Plan. This fulfills our budget statements and is what the unanticipated personnel savings are
used for. Moreover, this represents approximately a 1.5 percent personnel cost non-utilization, which is close
to our normal annual experience. This has the side effect of reducing the funds available to keep our General
Fund balance within policy limits and any additional Capital Improvement Fund transfer.
B. Special Revenue Funds:
The City of Woodbury has a series of special revenue funds to account for the proceeds of revenue sources
that are legally restricted for specific purpose expenditures. Special revenue funds provide an extra level of
accountability and transparency to taxpayers that their tax dollars will go toward an intended purpose. These
accounts are comparatively smaller in amounts compared to the other funds. Some of the more significant
special revenue funds are:
Fire Relief Pension - No municipal contribution is required, nor is there expected to be a draw from the fund
balance of the Fire Relief Pension Fund.
HealthEast Sponsorship - In April, 2017 the City Council approved an agreement with HealthEast Care
Systems (HealthEast) to make the East Metro-based healthcare provider the named sponsor of Bielenberg
Sports Center. As part of the 14-year $1,774,900 sponsorship agreement, the HealthEast name has replaced
Bielenberg as the primary name on the facility. For 2018, there is no expenditure activity budgeted in the
fund as the City Council evaluates how the sponsorship proceeds will be utilized.
Emergency Medical Services - This former enterprise fund was reclassified as a special revenue fund in 2016
to better reflect the new property tax and use fee funding model. The funding of two additional paramedics is
anticipated while the ambulance rate can stay unchanged for 2018.

Beginning in Federal Fiscal Year 2010, with a Program Year commencing on July 1, 2010, the City of
Woodbury became a direct recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME
Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds via the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The 2017 Annual Action Plan, as adopted by the City Council, defines how these
funds will be used within the current time period. Staff has identified supplementing the HRA loan programs
and a rehabilitation of Windwood Passage Park as the best use of the funds given the multiple benefits of
reinvesting in our parks system, as well as residential loan programs structured to reinvest in the community’s
housing stock. Additionally, the funds do contain timely spending provisions which the loan programs meet.
The July-to-June program year for these federal programs that fund this special revenue fund may require
mid-year budget adjustments as federal budget actions play out.
The Economic Development Authority (EDA) was created by the City Council in 1988 to encourage
development of the City’s tax base. The 2018 budget for the EDA Fund is very similar to the 2017 adopted
budget. It is budgeted that the EDA invests $25,000 for professional services to implement the 2014
Economic Development Strategic Plan.
The City of Woodbury created a Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) in December 2006. The
HRA adopts a property tax levy to operate four loan programs, as well as pay for the cost of the Housing and
Economic Development Coordinator position. A separate budget for these funds and expenditures has been
prepared under the HRA Fund.
This budget recommends maintaining the current HRA levy amount flat at the $250,000 level. The HRA
loan programs encompass the largest portion of the HRA budget. These include the Foreclosure Purchase
Program ($100,000), First Time Homeownership Program ($450,000), and the Home Improvement Fund
($50,000). The City’s Housing and Economic Development Coordinator is responsible for implementing
these programs, and as such the salary and benefit costs for this position are funded by the HRA and
reimbursed to the General Fund budget, Economic Development Division.

C. Capital Project Funds:
Capital project funds account for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of major capital facilities or
the purchase of major equipment. As a framework to the capital project funds budgets, the City prepares a
five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The separately prepared CIP provides an early identification and
cost estimate of major capital improvements and acquisitions. The CIP presents capital improvements and
acquisitions that are financed by a single source, as well as projects that present a combination of funding
sources. The CIP is an important financial planning tool to manage the demands of the growth of the City.
The following are the individual fund proposals.
Park Dedication Fund – The Park Dedication Fund are the fees collected from new developments to satisfy
park dedication requirements as outlined in City ordinance. Two major projects are included in this year’s
budget: Ojibway Park Phase I Improvements and Phase II Area Park and Trail Improvements. There is also
a project for the HSC outdoor rink to provide surfacing or some other improvement that increases use beyond
the skating season.
Tax Abatement Plan I-94 Region Fund – This fund accounts for project costs in accordance with the tax
abatement plan adopted in 2004 with School District 834. In past budgets, the tax abatement plan revenues
were used to retire the internal loan created by the 2004 / 2005 I-94 Region street improvements. After the
internal loan was retired and the approval of the CityPlace utility and street improvements in late 2014, this
capital project fund is now budgeted to account for future street and utility improvement costs within the plan
boundaries.
Street Reconstruction/Maintenance Fund – The 2018 budget is following a plan of increases to property
tax levy for street reconstruction by 5.5 percent to assure we have the resources to maintain the pavement
condition index goals of the City. In 2013 a citizen-based task force was created by the City Council to
evaluate the street reconstruction needs of the City. After 13 public meetings, discussion on roadway
maintenance, and extensive data review and discussion, the Street Rehabilitation Task Force developed
recommendations for the Council’s consideration. The Street Rehabilitation Task Force recommendations
were designed to provide adequate funding over the next five years and to create a sustainable funding plan
in the long-term. The funding recommendations were approved by the City Council in December 2014 and
affirmed the long-term practice of increasing the annual property tax levy for street construction by 5.5
percent annually. In addition, the recommendations called for the issuance of debt in 2015, a transfer of
revenues from the MSA Roadway Construction Fund in 2016 and modifications to the special assessment
policy as it relates to street reconstruction projects. The total expenditures for 2018 for this account are
$11,503,000.
Capital Improvement Fund – The $3.76 million total 2018 Capital Improvement Fund expenditures are
changing 2 percent. The largest capital expenditure is the approximately $1.81 million of machinery and
rolling stock replacement and fleet additions. Woodbury’s capital equipment funding approach is based on
the cost-to-replace amount divided by the equipment life. The budget calls for a 2 percent increase in our
capital levy to offset inflation.

D. Enterprise Funds:
Enterprise funds account for any activity for which a fee is charged to external users for goods or services.
If an activity's principal revenue source meets any one of the following criteria, it is required to be reported
as an enterprise fund: (1) an activity financed with debt that is secured solely by pledge of the net revenues
from fees and charges for the activity; (2) laws or regulations which require that the activity's costs of
providing services, including capital costs, be recovered with fees and charges, rather than with taxes or
similar revenues; or (3) pricing policies which establish fees and charges designed to recover the activity's
costs, including capital costs. Operational budgets under the enterprise funds include the Water and Sewer
Utility, Storm Water Utility, Street Lighting Utility, HealthEast Sports Center, and Eagle Valley Golf Course.
A brief description of each fund follows:
Water Utility – Over the years, Woodbury has been able to deliver water to our customers directly
from the aquifer inexpensively with little treatment (fluoride and chlorine). While our water use per
capita has been high with large swings between summer and winter usage necessitating an oversized
water infrastructure system, up until about the last five years obtaining from the State new well
permits has been manageable. Historically, our newer infrastructure has meant that our utility system
rehabilitation capital outlay has been modest compared to other metro cities. Moreover, as early
adopter of a tiered rates system in 2007 (now required) and a same-year commitment to doubling
commercial and HOA water irrigation rates in three annual steps (first step implemented in 2007)
along with a series of dry summers thereafter, Woodbury developed a healthy reserve going into and
through the Great Recession when annual rate increases were not palatable. Thus, for the last decade,
our water and sanitary operating rates have been flat. As a result, Woodbury has the lowest water
rate among our metro comparables and is in the middle of the pack with our sanitary sewer rate.
In 2013 with the aquifer depletion crisis, the State of MN Department of Natural Resources changed
their well permitting approach which had significant certainty, process time and cost implications.
During this time, we also experienced lower water use peaks through a combination of active
conservation messaging, recent wet seasons and increased infrastructure replacement activity as our
system ages. With no rate changes over the long-term, we have now started to see insufficient net
income to meet our infrastructure replacement target.
More recently, in 2016 we decided to return back to our goal to implement the last two-thirds of the
planned increase to the commercial and home owner’s association (HOA) irrigation rate to fund our
water conservation educational and incentive programs through five smaller annual irrigation rate
changes. In 2017 this rate change took effect and we began our first commercial and HOA incentive
program.
This year we have some larger utility infrastructure breakdowns (e.g. Carver Lake) with a beginning
backlog of future larger projects and a more active water meter replacement program. As a result,
we reviewed the Springsted 2013 capital replacement study and updated the 10-year infrastructure
plan based on specific, planned projects. Essentially, we will need to allocate more resources to our
infrastructure rehabilitation program to keep our system current and water tight.

A further change to this area has been a greater Council awareness of the public impact of our special
assessment policy. This matter was detailed in a series of council letters this year, including the
unfunded liability when assessment benefit appraisals do not meet the targeted assessment amounts.
Council direction to fund our utility cost associated with street rehabilitation project through the rate
structure has led to a thorough analysis of our rate structure.
When looking at the future, there are other emerging factors that will also have an impact on rates.
These include:
• Financial impact of the utility portion of the 2018 Public Works / Parks building
improvement project debt
• Potential need for water treatment facilities
• Increased water meter replacements
• Restricted new water production well siting
• Middle aged and older infrastructure
• Expensive full reconstruction projects
• Large, unpalatable assessments (if current policy continues)
Therefore, in view of all this, staff has calculated a total annual water and sewer annual revenue need
of $2.1 million to achieve Council’s direction to eliminate utility special assessments, to pay for the
additional debt service for Public Works / Parks building project, and to provide funding for an
escalated water meter replacement and capital improvements plan. In the end, the City Council
approved a significant 2018 rate adjustment for both water and sanitary sewer. In addition, the water
tier rate structure was compressed to reduce the water rate increase and encourage water
conservation. The rate increases are estimated to generate $1.3 million of the $2.1 million requested.
The City Council will address the remaining $800,000 need in the future. Moreover, the utility rate
impact for the Public Works / Parks building project was deferred until the 2019 budget ($370,000),
reserves will be used for 50 percent of water meter replacement program ($215,000), and future rate
increases will address the remainder of the capital improvements plan shortfall ($215,000).
Thus, the estimated annual net change as a result of the approved various rate adjustments is $1.3
million to be raised as follows:
2017 2018
Administrative Fee $4.00 $4.00
Base rate $0.88 $1.25
Irrigation rate2 $2.32 $2.53

Based on our analysis, Woodbury would still have one of the lowest monthly water cost amongst our
comparables based on average water use rates. During the cooler, non-irrigating period of the year,
households typically use less than 20,000 gallons per quarter. Therefore, the tiers could impact just
two or three of the four quarters, depending on weather conditions. The new utility rate sheet can be
found in the budget section for the Water and Sanitary Sewer Fund.

our flat operating sanitary sewer charge is approved to change from $21.74 to $26.00 to fund the
aforementioned programs.

goal of 30 percent is achieved in this budget. The fee schedule included in the budget blends rental
fees from past operation to fit the newly expanded facility. The overall 2018 HSC operational budget
will include producing $1.8 million in revenue offset by operational expenses of $1.2 million,
yielding a net income from operations of $575,400. This creates an operational income of 32.2
percent, which meets our proforma targets.
Eagle Valley Golf Course Fund (EVGC) – The Eagle Valley Golf Course operates as an enterprise
fund under the Community Development Department within the overall City budget. The facility’s
operational objective is a minimum operating income of 20 percent of revenues as an appropriate
expectation. This has been achieved in fiscal years 2012 - 2016. The 2018 budget assumes $1.5
million of operating income and $1.2 million of operating expense with a 21 percent margin of
$324,300, which also meets our 20 percent operating income target.
E. Internal Service Funds – The Risk Management Fund was created in 2012 and accounts for the City’s
worker’s compensation, general liability and property casualty insurances. The worker’s compensation
portion is funded by charges assessed all funds, based on payroll classifications and the rates assigned to
them by the League of MN Cities Insurance Trust, the City’s insurance provider. The policy directs that the
City shall maintain a minimum fund balance of 25 percent of the following year’s Risk Management Fund
expense budget. If reserves reach $1 million per the audited financial statements, 50 percent of the dividends,
workers compensation retrospective adjustments and investment earnings will be redirected to the General
Fund.
F. Debt Service Funds –Debt service funds are used to account for the payment of debt service on all debt
obligations of the City with the exception of debt associated with the City's enterprise funds. The enterprise
fund's debt service is accounted in their respective funds and is supported by user fees. Over the years,
Woodbury has been able to reduce the portion of the property tax levy to pay for debt service to well under
four percent, of sizable accomplishment for a growing community.

This budget document would not have been possible without the effort, energy, talent and dedication of a number of
employees. In the preparation of this proposal, I am indebted to the Division and Department Heads for their detailed
budget submittals and their support staffs which gave important assistance. In particular, Finance Director Tim
Johnson, Accountant III Lynn Haseleu and Executive Assistant Roxanne Nowicki performed the complex work of
pulling the budget together, processing and analyzing the proposals and providing key recommendations through the
process. Without the efforts of the entire City of Woodbury staff team, presentation of this document would not have
been possible. Finally, I would like to thank the City Council for your leadership, support and commitment to
excellence as a community and municipal operation as we seek to create our future.

Conclusion VI.
xxx
The City of Woodbury is 36 square miles in size, situated just southeast of St. Paul, the state’s capital, at the
intersections of I-94, I-494 and I-694. The City is in close proximity to the Twin Cities’ major employment
centers, as well as the St. Croix River Valley, providing a beautiful natural setting and year-round recreational
opportunities. Woodbury is one of the state’s fastest growing suburban communities. It is known for its
attractive residential neighborhoods, which are connected by more than 140 miles of multi-use trails, with
public parks and pathways, situated throughout the City.
In the past two decades, Woodbury’s population has tripled, growing from 20,075 residents in 1990 to 61,961
as measured by the 2010 Census. The current population is estimated at 69,240. It is projected to be 72,500
by the year 2020 and 80,500 in 2030. Approximately two-thirds of the City has been developed, and
Woodbury’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan anticipates continued urban development. Woodbury is recognized as
a well-educated, stable and professional community with a significant workforce experienced in the healthcare
and financial fields. The median household income of $94,1551 with 60.3 percent of the residents having
completed a bachelor’s degree or higher is significantly higher than the national average.
Commercial and Business
Considerable commercial and industrial activity may be found within the City’s three industrial parks, which
include the 150-acre Wooddale Center Industrial Park developed by OPUS Northwest, LLC; the 70-acre
Carver Lake Office Industrial Park; and the Woodbury Commerce Center located on 100 acres in the northeast
quadrant of the City. Tamarack Hills is another area that has experienced significant commercial development
in recent years, and the City’s recently approved development for the former State Farm campus (CityPlace)
will provide additional opportunities to add property valuation. Woodbury is home to numerous major
employers, such as Assurant, Target.com, Harvey Vogel Manufacturing, EcoWater Systems, and Dean
Foods/Land O’ Lakes, plus many smaller businesses and retail shopping enterprises. Woodbury is also home
to over 190 healthcare businesses, including the Woodwinds Health Campus, which is anchored by a full-
service acute care hospital. Medical office and other patient-care facilities are developing near the hospital,
fulfilling the City’s vision of a Medical Campus District for the area. Other large healthcare employers include
Allina, HealthPartners, Summit Orthopedics, and Woodbury Healthcare Center. Woodbury remains a retail
shopping hub for the east metro region with major shopping areas including Woodbury Village, Tamarack
Village, Woodbury Lakes, Woodbury Marketplace, Woodbury Commons and Commerce Hill.
Parks, Natural Resources, Recreation and Culture
Woodbury’s park system consists of over 3,400 acres of park and open space land, 55 park and open space
sites, over 140 miles of trails, three fishing piers and a swimming beach. Neighborhood parks feature
playground equipment, athletic fields and courts, picnic areas, multi-use trails and skating rinks. In addition,
these parks serve as neighborhood centers and natural gathering places for the community. Community scale

facilities include the Tamarack Nature Preserve, Carver Lake Park, Ojibway Park, and HealthEast Sports
Center. The sports center houses two indoor ice rinks, an indoor field house covering a soccer / football field,
a walk / run track and an outdoor refrigerated ice rink, splash pad and all-inclusive playground – Madison’s
Place. East Ridge High School, adjacent to the HealthEast Sports Center, adds to the outdoor athletic complex
with four 90-foot baseball fields, 14 multi-use baseball / softball fields, 18 soccer / football / lacrosse fields,
miracle field and eight tennis courts. Eagle Valley Golf Course is a City-owned 18-hole course on 225 acres
of rolling terrain. In addition, Prestwick Golf Course, a privately owned championship course, is open to the
public. Woodbury is proud of Central Park, an indoor City park connected to a Washington County Library,
YMCA and senior citizens’ residence. Central Park contains a major play area, meeting rooms, amphitheater
and coffee shop, as well as the central offices of the Washington County Library system and facilities for the
South Washington County School District’s Early Childhood Family Education Program.
Residents and visitors alike can take advantage of the numerous cultural and recreational amenities of the
Twin Cities area. Museums, galleries, world-class zoos, wildlife and nature conservatories are abundant in the
region. Numerous historic sites, professional sports (NFL Vikings, MLB Twins, NBA Timberwolves, NHL
Minnesota Wild, Minnesota United and St. Paul Saints Baseball) and world-class dining/entertainment are
available nearby. Among the numerous professional theater groups in the Twin Cities are the renowned
Guthrie Theater and the Children’s Theatre Company. Minneapolis and St. Paul also are home to two major
orchestras. The Twin Cities region, with nearly 3 million residents currently, is projected to grow to 3.7
million by the year 2030.
In Woodbury, an active and engaged citizenry partakes of local events, such as Woodbury Days and the
citywide Fourth of July celebration. Residents take tremendous pride in their neighborhoods and are active in
local neighborhood groups, as well as civic organizations, such as the Arts Connection, Woodbury Community
Foundation, Woodbury Area Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, Kiwanis and Lions Club, Woodbury
Athletic Association, East Ridge Athletic Association, Woodbury Youth Athletic League, Woodbury Area
Hockey Club, Woodbury United Lacrosse, Woodbury Figure Skating Club, and more!
Schools
Woodbury is served by three school districts: South Washington County Schools (ISD 833) with an enrollment
of 17,000 students; Stillwater Area Schools (ISD 834); and North St. Paul- Maplewood-Oakdale School
District (ISD 622). District 833 operates six elementary schools, two middle schools and two senior high
schools in Woodbury. Stillwater District 834 just opened Brookview Elementary School in August of 2017
that will serve Woodbury residents in that area. The community offers three private schools and a charter
school, which provide additional education options. Minnesota is nationally recognized for its excellent public
schools and the high percentage of students who graduate from high school.
Community Survey
The City of Woodbury has been conducting a community survey on a biennial basis since 1999. The
community survey is used as a tool to measure resident opinion on the quality of City services and to receive
input on relevant issues. The results of the survey are also used as a performance measurement tool and
provide an instrument for helping the City determine future courses of action. The National Research Center,
Inc. performed the 2017 survey, and from a total of 467 residents that responded, and amongst a considerable
xxxii
amount of resulting data and information, the NRC identified several of the survey results2 as follows. Firstly,
overall quality of life in Woodbury continues to be very high in the eyes of residents.
Percent Excellent or Good
Nine in 10 residents believe Woodbury is excellent or good place to live, to raise children and that their
neighborhood is a great place to live. Similar results were found for these other community characteristics that
received positive ratings:

Relative to Woodbury’s economy, residents feel Woodbury’s economic health is strong. Nine in 10 said
overall economic health, shopping opportunities, overall quality of business and service establishments are
excellent or good. Similarly, the overall quality and value of services were rated favorably by a majority of
respondents.
While residents rate City services highly and support for a tax increase to maintain them at their current level
has increased since the last survey, the percentage that would support a tax increase to maintain service levels
remains below 50 percent.

Residents rated City services highly, just over half of the residents felt that the City’s property taxes were
“about average.” When compared to 2015, more residents felt property taxes were “about right” in 2017, and
fewer felt they were “very high” or “somewhat high.”
The City Council consists of the Mayor and four Council Members; all are elected at-large and serve four-
year, staggered terms. The City Council provides legislative guidance for the City and sets administrative
policy. The Council appoints the City Administrator who serves as the City’s chief operating officer
responsible for the day-to-day management of the City, its operations and overall financial
administration/condition. The City Council and City Administrator enjoy a strong, positive working
relationship. Since its incorporation in 1967, Woodbury has had just three administrators, and most department
heads are similarly long-tenured. The City employs approximately 250 full-time employees, 60 paid-on-call
firefighters, and 200-300 seasonal or temporary employees. The City has a strong and stable relationship with
other local governments, and a collaborative and consensus-building culture exists.
The City Council has identified seven components that are essential to the success of the community. These
critical success factors are the guiding principles that govern the council's strategic planning for Woodbury's
future. The seven components, together with the result the City wishes to achieve, are:
Safety - Woodbury residents feel safe in their person and their property. The City provides high quality,
visible, protective services and works with other agencies to provide similarly high quality services.
Quality of Life - Woodbury maintains a high quality living environment characterized by attractive
neighborhoods that offer a variety of housing options for people in all stages of life and that are linked
through the City’s park and trail system. The City provides open spaces that allow active and passive uses
by the public. Residents have convenient access to essential private sector goods and services such as
health care, as well as to high quality year-round leisure and recreational services.

Business Climate - Recognizing that economic vitality is the foundation of community progress and
livability, the City of Woodbury will continue to capitalize on its unique strengths and distinct character: a
strategic location, strong demographics, and abundant opportunities for economic growth. Through its
strategic planning efforts, the City will continually seek to strengthen business relationships and promote
continued business investment and job growth. Woodbury’s business friendly environment, responsive
service and development standards that demand high quality, contribute to our strong business climate,
help make Woodbury a premier location for business, and position the City for sustained success.
Education - Schools serving Woodbury residents achieve, and are perceived as achieving, outstanding
results. The City supports school districts with their building needs and with the maintenance of a safe,
positive environment for learning in the school buildings within Woodbury.
Community - All people in Woodbury feel a sense of ownership in the community as shown by
participation in many active organizations meeting the social and spiritual needs of the people living
within Woodbury's boundaries. The City is one means for citizens to meet the community's needs but the
City's role is to be a partner with other organizations, promoting and supporting their efforts, not being the
primary builder of community.
City Services - The City emphasizes the use of appropriate technology, equipment and infrastructure to
provide services at a high level relative to other communities and at a cost perceived by residents as giving
excellent value for taxes paid. The City not only implements those systems for which it has responsibility
but promotes maintenance of an adequate level of service by other governmental and private entities
serving our population.
Sustainability - Woodbury strives to be a sustainable community that promotes community health and
wellness through the protection of the environment. The City assesses and improves its development
practices, City and community energy use, and use of its natural resources in order to not use resources at
the expense of future generations. The City’s role is to establish and implement policies, guidelines, goals
and strategic actions to protect air and water quality, preserve natural areas, conserve energy, and reduce
waste.
In 2010, the City completed its 2030 Comprehensive Plan. This plan is part of an ongoing process of
community planning in Woodbury, beginning with the first comprehensive plan in 1971, with major updates in
1980, 2000 as well as 2010. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan provides a blueprint for the future of the
community through carefully managed growth resulting in vibrant residential neighborhoods, a thriving
business community, diverse employment opportunities and exceptional municipal services. The 2030 Plan
includes a special emphasis on providing a sustainable quality of life by making careful and effective use of
available resources to ensure that resources exist to maintain and enhance the quality of life for future
residents. The City has begun updating its comprehensive plan and anticipates adoption of the 2040
Comprehensive Plan in late 2018.
The City strives for strong working relationships with state, regional, county, and other municipal
governmental entities, as well as with local school districts. It has established joint-powers agreements with
several government agencies and maintains a positive leadership position in the region.

In addition to the seven critical success factors (located in the community profile section), another important
part of the biennial strategic planning process is consideration of any council-initiated, specific strategic
initiatives. The three areas selected for the 2015–2017 time period were:
1. Sustainable Water Future for Woodbury - Develop methods to strive towards flat total annual water
usage by 2030.
2. Foster an Inclusive and Welcoming Community - The City values all residents and their diversity, and
looks to sustain and improve a sense of place in our community where all residents feel welcome, safe and
connected.
3. Enhance Visibility and Usability of the Parks and Trail System – Showcase Woodbury’s extensive
parks and trails system, which features 50 community and neighborhood parks and more than 140 miles of
multi-use trails utilizing technology and City information systems.
An action plan for each initiative was developed and adopted by council on September 23, 2015. The action
plan summarizes the matter and identifies the “Desired Outcomes” for each initiative as follows:
1. Sustainable Water Future for Woodbury – Recent analysis suggests increasing demands on the aquifer
may not be sustainable. These analyses have led to the DNR taking significant steps to align its practices
with groundwater sustainability mandates including establishing the North and East Groundwater
Management Area and developing threshold standards for impact to streams, lakes, and aquifers that have
the real potential to limit Woodbury’s current and future access to groundwater. In response to these
legislative efforts, the City Council has taken a proactive approach in water conservation. The desired
outcomes are:
A. Conservation Goal: Strive towards flat total annual water usage through 2030;
B. Regional Goal: Participate in and be a leader in regional groundwater policy discussions;
C. Legal Goal: Evaluate position and involvement on related legal issues and monitor cases;
D. Legislative/Regulatory Goal: Be pro-active in the legislative process regarding groundwater
management.
Council Strategies and Initiatives III.
xxxvii
As a community within the North and East Metro Groundwater Management area, the goals outlined by
the DNR play an important role in the City’s ability to continue to provide adequate water supplies to
customers. To meet the challenges related to water supply sustainability, Council has worked towards the
following projects:
Education and outreach - Developed a City-wide education and outreach program to educate residents
on the importance of sustainable water practices.
Pilot Programs - Using mostly grant funding, the City implemented seven community pilot programs
focused on gathering real data to understand the impact of water reduction strategies on Woodbury’s
discretionary water supply.
2017 Commercial Metered Irrigation Rate Adjustment - Based on the recommendations made in the
2014 Springsted rate study, the Council approved a 2017 Commercial Metered Irrigation Rate Adjustment
from $2.11 to $2.32. This is the first of five annual commercial metered irrigation rate adjustments.
Water Efficiency Council Directive - On November 9, 2016, the Council approved Resolution No. 16–
188: Approving Council Directive CD-ENGPW-4.11 Woodbury Water Efficiency Incentive Program to
develop programs that reduce the City’s discretionary water consumption.
Water Efficiency Incentive Program – Commercial Metered Irrigation Rate Payers – Council
established the first incentive program for commercial metered irrigation rate payers. This program
provides cost-sharing assistance for the installation of state-of-the-art irrigation technologies to existing
irrigation systems that meet the program requirements for water conservation. To fund this program,
additional revenues from adjustments to the commercial metered irrigation rate are being utilized.
xxxviii
Advisory Board Participation - The City of Woodbury serves on four advisory boards, both at the county
and state level, to ensure that the City provides advice and recommendations on public policy matters that
impact groundwater management.
Washington County Municipal Water Coalition – Woodbury chairs this group of Washington County
cities that have studied water appropriation and treatment options and cost and is now studying
conversation opportunities.
Storm Water Reuse Through Irrigation - On January 5, 2017, the City of Woodbury informed the State
of Minnesota, including the DNR and MDH, that the City would be temporarily suspending the approval
of storm water reuse projects for irrigation due to possible permitting and treatment requirements being
discussed at the state level. Continued discussion with the state departments are ongoing.
2. Foster an Inclusive and Welcoming Community –The results of the 2015 City of Woodbury Resident
Survey revealed that community ties could be stronger. The 20107 results confirmed the 2015 survey.
As a result, the creation of the 2015-2017 Strategic Initiative of Fostering an Inclusive and Welcoming
Community (FIWC) indicated the Council’s desire to be more intentional and active in building and
improving community connectedness, relationships with local government and inclusion of all members of
our community. Since the beginning of 2016, considerable work has taken place to educate and engage
staff, connect with peer cities, and develop partnerships with organizations on topics associated with
diversity, inclusion, equity and sense of community; and ultimately build capacity to better serve residents.
The desired outcomes for this strategic initiative are:
A. City of Woodbury (Internal) Goal: Continue the work of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee to
take the organization to the next level in the areas of workforce diversity, a welcoming environment
and resident engagement.
B. Community Feedback (External) Goal: To gain a better understanding of how Woodbury can be a
welcoming community.

C. Regional Goal: Serve as a stakeholder on regional cohorts that are systemically focusing on
advancing diversity and inclusion.
Since the beginning of 2016, considerable work has taken place to educate and engage staff, connect
with peer cities, and develop partnerships with organizations on topics associated with diversity,
inclusion, equity and sense of community; and ultimately build capacity to better serve residents. The
programs discussed below are a few of the affirmative steps the City has taken to improve
sense of community and resident connectedness.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee Successes - In 2013, the City Administrator established
the City staff Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee (formally the Diversity and Inclusion
Committee) to provide guidance and training opportunities for employees to better position the City to
attract and retain diverse talent. A further goal is to enhance the organization’s reputation as an
employer of choice by developing equitable practices, processes and relationships, and encouraging
employees to practice equity and inclusion in their work. To accomplish this, the following has
occurred:
1. Established a diversity learning series program.
2. Completed the Global Diversity and Inclusion Benchmark Study.
3. Renamed the Diversity and Inclusion committee to the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
committee, and established a new committee structure.
4. Created the DEI Internal Grant program.
Woodbury Community Conversations - Partnered with Woodbury THRIVES to host community
conversations with over 350 participants on the subjects of community health, sense of community,
and diversity and inclusion.
Racial Equity Training - Provided year-long training for staff with the League of Minnesota Cities
Local Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) cohort.
3. Enhance Visibility and Usability of the Parks and Trail System - Parks and open space have been
strategically intertwined among Woodbury neighborhoods with a trail system connecting schools and
neighborhood parks to residential areas. The City seeks to utilize one of our community strengths to
achieve the following goals through the implementation of the land use plan for open space:
A. Create a connected system of parks, trails and open spaces that respond to the needs of current and
future Woodbury residents.
B. Maximize the use and efficiency of funds for the continued maintenance, development and expansion
of existing and future parkland.
xl
C. Protect areas of significant natural resources and provide future passive and active recreational
opportunities for Woodbury residents.
In addition to achieving the goals outlined in the City’s land use plan for open space, the Council formally
adopted names for all City parks. Overseen by the City’s Park Lands and Recreational Facilities Naming
Advisory Committee, the parks naming process was the culmination of a six month process. This work has
allowed the City to address residents’ need for information about trail access points, point-to-point
distance information, wayfinding signs (e.g. maps or trail markers) and parks and trail maps. Staff has
moved forward with the following projects:
Paper Parks and Trails Map - After reviewing several printed map samples during the Request for
Proposal (RFP) process, the staff received consent from Council to print 15,000, 16-x 23-inch parks and
trails maps.
Mobile Parks and Map - Using ESRI mapping software, staff has developed a mobile parks and trails
application. Building off the design of the paper parks and trails map, the electronic parks and trails map
utilizes existing browser software allowing users to save the electronic map to their bookmarks and access
the mapping software across various platforms.
RecTrac Mobile Update - To enhance shelter reservation and activity registration, the city recreation
management system or RecTrac, was upgraded to include mobile capabilities. While prior to the update
users had the ability to reserve shelters and register for recreation activities from their computer, users now
have the ability to use the mobile device of their choice to complete the same activities. Furthermore, links
to RecTrac are embedded in the digital parks and trails map to streamline the shelter reservation process.
Parks Monument Signage - At the August 2017, City Council Workshop, the City Council approved the
manufacturing of parks monument and wayfinding signage to be installed at city parks. The signs utilize
the adopted park names and aid in wayfinding through entrance signs, individual park maps, kiosk and
trail markers. Parks and Recreation has proposed $52,000 per year, over the next three years in the CIP for
park system enhancements, including the installation of monument and wayfinding signage. Installation
will begin in 2017.
Enhanced Biking and Pedestrian Routes - Staff is continuing to identify preferred routes and their
distances in Woodbury. As the city looks to market itself as a destination for visitors of the Greater
Minneapolis and Saint Paul region, having dedicated bike and running routes for both residents and
visitors will be an enhancement to the usability of the Woodbury’s parks and trails system.
Carver Lake Rehab Project - The City of Woodbury used a one-time opportunity to utilize
approximately $240,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to perform rehabilitation activities at Carver Lake
Park, including replacement of the boardwalk, fishing pier, installation of shade structures and erosion
control. Future projects may address retaining walls, additional fishing access, and lighting upgrades.
Shawnee Park Renovated Pickleball Courts - In 2016, $120,000 was expended from the Capital
Improvement Fund for this project.
xli
Recreation Division Reorganization - In 2016 a thorough review was performed analyzing the Parks and
Recreation Department personnel and organization’s structure. Several position changes were
recommended to the Council as a step towards succession planning and transitioning towards the
department’s long-term vision. The structure changes came into effect on March 1, 2017.

Financial Planning Practices
To guide the budget development process toward a fiscally sustainable plan that meets the needs of the City’s
customers while applying a tax level that is within our statutory requirements, the City’s management team
continues to focus on best practice budget techniques when designing City services, programs and proposals.
Below are the tools used by City officials in management to create a responsive, high performance
organization that can live within its means and adjust to changing service requirements:
1. Target-based preliminary budget submittal – In years when the state does not impose a levy limit, the City
Council has set a preliminary budget levy target for the General Fund.
2. Limit use of fund balance (reserves) for recurring, annual expenditures – No use of reserves is planned in
the General Fund. Use of reserves typically has been restricted to the Capital Improvement Fund for
projects that are more one-time in nature, and which could be curtailed if there were insufficient funds.
The common uses of reserves in the Capital Improvement Fund have included: City facilities, City
infrastructure improvements, upgraded turn signals and new additions of vehicles and equipment.
We do budget for the “transfers-in” in the General Fund such as utilizing $500,000 of the Administration
Fee Fund, which supports a portion of the Engineering Division activities paid for by developer fees.
These funds are segregated from the General Fund so as to maintain a steady income stream into the
General Fund that takes out the rise and fall of development activities.
3. Maintain the General Fund cash flow reserve amount at 30 percent of the following years’ budget– This
reserve guideline is a common one in the Minnesota public sector and insures that the City has sufficient
funds for operations during the first six months of the fiscal year. Monies in the General Fund above the
fund balance policy requirements are routinely “swept” into the Capital Improvement Fund for the uses
described above.
4. Prepare an annual debt plan that estimates the future debt levies and identifies opportunities for pay-as-
you-go capital expenditures – The goal is to have a guided process for the issuance of debt and potential
increases to the debt service levy. Planned debt service increases offset with expiring debt levies have
allowed large cost items to be built without property tax spikes.
Basis of Budgeting V.
xliii
5. Provide for equipment and infrastructure replacement – Property tax levy funding for the Capital
Improvement Fund approximates the replacement cost annual amount for fleet vehicles and equipment.
New additions to the fleet utilize reserves for the initial purchase.
6. Annually evaluate adequacy and equity of fees to reduce reliance on the property tax – Staff performs
regular surveying and assesses what we believe the market can bear in terms of our fees and charges to
make sure we are only placing on the tax levy those expenses that are unsupported by fees, charges and
other forms of revenue.
7. Performance measurement – Outcomes, workloads and effectiveness of efforts are contained within the
budget document to show the results of the funds entrusted to the City by taxpayers. Many of our
measures are contained within the budget document, but a more complete performance measurement
report is produced each year separate of the budget.
Description of City Funds and Accounting Structure
This budget is prepared on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The
accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting
entity. During the year, the City’s accounting system is maintained on the same basis as the adopted budget,
with the exception that carry-overs from the prior year are added to the budgeted line items. This enables the
departmental budgets to be easily monitored via the Trial Balance reports on a monthly basis.
The City’s fiscal year is the calendar year. As required by Minnesota Statutes, budgets are adopted for the
City’s funds, which are classified and defined as follows:
1. Governmental Fund Types
These are the funds through which most of the functions of the City are financed. These funds are
budgeted on a modified accrual basis of accounting. The focus of the modified accrual basis of accounting
is on available spendable resources, that is, the flow of resources into and out of the organization in
providing services. The reported fund balance of a governmental fund represents a measure of the
available spendable resources. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized
when measurable and available. Available means collectable within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures, other than interest on long-term
debt, are recorded when the liability is incurred, if measurable. The following are the City’s governmental
fund types:
A. General Fund
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial
resources, most of the day-to-day operations, except those required to be accounted for in another
fund.
B. Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. Special revenue funds utilized by the City include:
xliv
Administration Fee Housing and Urban Development
Public Safety Activities
Emergency Medical Services
Fire Relief Pension
Economic Development Authority
Housing and Redevelopment Authority
C. Debt Service Funds
Various debt service funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment
of, general obligation long-term debt principal, interest and related costs not funded by proprietary
fund operations. The budget presents in summary format all the various debt service funds of the City.
D. Capital Project Funds
Capital project funds account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition of equipment,
construction of major capital facilities, or other long-term projects. Capital project funds used by the
City include the following funds: Park Dedication, Tax Abatement Plan I-94 Region, Street
Reconstruction/Maintenance, Capital Improvement and Community Investment Fund. The City has
other capital project funds that do not adopt an annual operating budget but adopt a project length
budget by resolution at the start of the project.
2. Proprietary Fund Types
These funds are used to account for activities funded primarily through user charges. The basis of
accounting used in such funds is accrual accounting. The focus of accrual accounting is primarily upon
the determination of net income and the maintenance of capital. Therefore, included within these funds
are all assets and liabilities associated with the fund’s operations. Revenues are recognized under the
accrual basis of accounting when earned. Expenses are recorded as soon as they result in liabilities for
benefits received, notwithstanding that the receipt or payment of cash may take place in another
accounting period. In the proprietary fund budgets, the budget basis for expenses is used and differs from
accrual accounting in the following ways:
A. The budget basis includes expenses for capital outlay and debt payments - principal, which are not
considered expenses on the accrual basis of accounting.
B. Depreciation and amortization, which are considered expenses on the accrual basis of accounting, are
ignored under the budget basis because these items do not require a disbursement of funds.
C. Encumbrances are illustrated as an expense to rather a reservation of equity on the accrual basis.
D. The annual OPEB obligations, which are considered expenses on the accrual basis of accounting, are
ignored under the budget basis because these items do not require a disbursement of funds.
The City prepares budgets for the following proprietary fund types.
xlv
A. Enterprise Funds
Enterprise funds are used to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner
similar to private business – where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses,
including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be
financed or recovered primarily through user charges, or (b) where the governing body has decided
that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for
capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability or other purposes. The budget
for the City’s Water and Sewer Utility Fund, Storm Water Utility Fund, Street Lighting Utility Fund,
HealthEast Sports Center Ice Arena / Field House Fund and Eagle Valley Golf Course Fund is
included herein.
B. Internal Service Funds
An internal service fund is used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one
department to other departments of the government on a cost-reimbursement basis. An internal
service fund used by the City includes the Risk Management Fund that accounts for worker’s
compensation, general liability, property casualty and employee dental program insurances.

DIVISION/BUDGET GROUP: Information Technology
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The mission of the Information Technology Division is: to provide reliable, innovative, professional, secure, and cost-
effective information technology systems and services and geographic information systems (GIS) and services for our
internal and external partners.
In addition we have added a strategic motto to our planning process: “Get the right information, to the right person at the
right time – to the device of their choice.”
The IT Division is responsible for the identification, implementation, and management of most of the technology systems
used throughout the City including desktops, servers, telecommunications, mobile, networking, printing, email, and
database systems. Through its yearly budget the division supports the acquisition, management, and maintenance of
information technology used by all City departments to perform their day-to-day tasks. All Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) are also maintained and enhanced by the division. The primary focus of the division is to ensure that all
technology systems are available 24 / 7 and are serving to enhance the timeliness and effectiveness of the services that staff
provides to the City of Woodbury and its residents and businesses.
The Information Technology Division has six full-time employees consisting of one IT Supervisor, one IT Systems
Administrator, three IT Technicians and one GIS Specialist. An IT Systems Administrator and an IT Technician are
permanently housed within the Public Safety building and a GIS Specialist and/or an IT Technician are housed within the
Public Works building with the IT Technician funded by the Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund.

this solution current and sized to accommodate our continually growing electronic storage needs.

consolidate servers into a virtual environment has saved us a tremendous amount of dollars in direct server costs
and indirect energy and personnel costs that helps justify this expense.
Upgrade our current staff/public Wi-Fi system to stay current with newer and improved mobile device wireless
capabilities and ensure that proper coverage and density capacity will meet the ever growing need for Wi-Fi
throughout our various facilities.

ultimately allow the remote upload of squad and body camera video from the remote fire stations.
Purchase the hardware and software necessary to conduct a pilot project test of newer virtual desktop
infrastructure technology.
Purchase the latest Microsoft data center operating system licenses to keep our virtual server infrastructure
updated, optimized, and secured for the support of all of the backend systems that City staff rely on for day-to-day
operations.
LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES:
Continue to push the adoption of the appropriate technologies for all departments and drive the IT Division’s
technology leadership role by partnering with all departments as Business Analysts to help identify opportunities
for technology to improve our operations.
Ensure all technology systems are up-to-date without getting in the way of employee productivity.
Remain vigilant in securing all systems and making sure to stay current with cybersecurity technologies and
education of all staff utilizing our IT assets.
Continue to promote and enable mobile technologies for field operation efficiencies.
Support the strategic vision of migrating to “Cloud” technologies as projects and services make sense to make the
move.

OPERATING BUDGET - 2018
DEPARTMENT: Public Safety
DIVISION/BUDGET GROUP: Police
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The mission of Public Safety is: to provide exceptional customer service through integrated Fire, Police and Emergency
Medical Services to enhance the quality of life in our community.
Police Services is responsible for the investigation of crime, the protection of human life and property, the apprehension of
criminals, the maintenance of order, animal control, and preventive patrol. Advanced life support is also provided by police
paramedics.
Police Services is organized into four major units which provide the following products and services:
Support Services: customer service, records, crime analysis, and facility oversight
Investigative Services: criminal and non-criminal investigations, crime prevention
Patrol Services: calls for service, patrol, law and code enforcement, school resource officers, traffic safety,
paramedic service, initial fire response, crime prevention education
Professional Standards: training, professional certifications, quality assurance, policy development
MISSION CRITICAL / HIGH IMPACT DELIVERABLES:
Response to emergency calls
Community outreach
Enforcement of laws and ordinances
Investigate criminal complaints
Proactive policing
Incident management
Hire and retain diverse high quality employees
OBJECTIVES TO BE ACCOMPLISHED:
If approved by Council, full implementation of our body worn camera program for police officers. The success of
this initiative will necessitate the addition of a fulltime support services position to handle the increased workflow
associated with electronic evidence management and preparing copies of video footage for attorneys and other
data requesters.
Our budget requests no additional police officers for 2018. Our total number of budgeted police officers will
remain at 70. While our cross training and public safety focus remain at the core of who we are, it is important to
note that the expectations and demands of our police officers, in their policing role, has continued to grow over the
past 10 years. Increasing specialization, knowledge, training and technology all require a greater percentage of our
officers’ time. A priority for 2018 will be to enhance public trust through community policing and growing
relationships with the people we serve.
LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES:
Training: Meeting our long term public safety training needs continues to be a priority. We are moving forward in
planning and collaborating with the City of Cottage Grove to design a regional public safety training center. Using
state bonding appropriation money, we are now working with an architect to design a regional multi-discipline
public safety training facility with the plan of getting the project on the state bonding tour in 2018.
Diversity and Inclusion: Community trust continues to be a significant issue in public safety. It is the foundation
on which everything we do is built upon and cannot be taken for granted. And while we enjoy the overwhelming
49
POLICE
OPERATING BUDGET - 2018
support of our residents, the men and women who police our community must earn their trust each and every day.
They need our support in the form of high quality training and equipment, and comprehensive and responsive
policies. It has never been more important to recruit, train and hire high quality, diverse candidates for our
department. It is our desire to build upon our culture and our longstanding practice of treating all people with
dignity and respect. To succeed in this objective, we will continue to challenge ourselves to evaluate everything
we do through the lens of racial equity. We will have the courage to listen to other perspectives, have difficult
conversations, and not be satisfied with the current conditions. We will develop new avenues to recruit diverse
candidates, and make it a priority to foster new and healthy relationships within our growing community.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES FUND
OPERATING BUDGET – 2018
DEPARTMENT: Public Safety
DIVISION/BUDGET GROUP: EMS
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Fund was created to account for the cost of providing emergency medical services
to the community. Revenue derived from ambulance billing and property tax from the General Fund support Woodbury
Public Safety EMS activities. The long-term objective of the EMS program is to provide excellent, state of the art,
emergency medical care at a reasonable cost. The quality of care, expenditures, and revenues are constantly monitored in
order to achieve that goal.
Emergency Medical Services provides the following products and services:
Advanced Life Support (ALS): A paramedic responds to all EMS calls and assesses the patient’s need for either
basic or advanced life support care. A paramedic provides patient care if advanced life support care is needed.
Basic Life Support (BLS): A paramedic responds to all EMS calls and assesses the patient’s need for either basic
or advanced life support care. An EMT provides patient care if basic life support care is needed.
EMS Education: Woodbury Public Safety provides EMS education to other services. The revenue reduces the cost
of training our personnel.
MISSION CRITICAL / HIGH IMPACT DELIVERABLES:
Public Safety has identified the following Mission Critical / High Impact deliverables:
Response to emergency calls
Enforcement of laws and ordinances
Investigate criminal complaints
Proactive policing
Incident management
Hire and retain high quality employees

Continue hiring and utilizing full time paramedics in accordance with the five-year staffing plan
Provide two staffed ambulances 24/7 and one power shift ambulance based on community needs

FIRE RELIEF PENSION FUND
OPERATING BUDGET - 2018
The Fire Relief Pension Fund accounts for all the costs associated with the WFBA pension plan including the state aid
received from the State of MN. The primary revenue sources are property taxes and the 2 percent surcharge on property
insurance redistributed by the state to cities.
The pension benefit per year of service is currently $6,720 and the benefit was last increased in 2008. Due to the increases
in pension fund investment assets and the Minnesota state fire aid contributions, the funding ratio is at 141 percent per the
December 31, 2016 WFBA audited financial statements. Based on the WFBA report filed with the City and the Office of
State Auditor, no municipal contribution will be necessary for 2018. Over the last five years, there has been no municipal
contribution required of the City.

HEALTHEAST SPONSORSHIP FUND
OPERATING BUDGET - 2018
In April, 2017 the City Council approved an agreement with HealthEast Care Systems (HealthEast) to make the East
Metro-based healthcare provider the named sponsor of Bielenberg Sports Center. As part of the 14-year sponsorship
agreement, the HealthEast name has replaced Bielenberg as the primary name on the facility and the first year sponsorship
payment of $126,785 was received in May of 2017. The agreement calls for 13 additional annual payments for a total
amount of $1,774,990. The 2017 budget has been restated to include the fund’s sponsorship revenues. HealthEast has the
option of extending the agreement beyond the initial 14 year term for an additional five years at $307,163 per year.
For 2018, there is no expenditure activity budgeted in the fund as the City Council determines how the sponsorship
proceeds would be utilized.

including but not limited to economic development, housing, infrastructure, parks and recreation, public facilities and
public services.

Annual Action Plan which is approved by the City Council each spring prior. For the purpose of this budget document, the
main HUD-funded project is:
$81,400 of CDBG and $54,300 of HOME will be used to supplement the HRA loan programs. (The availability of

HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FUND
OPERATING BUDGET – 2018
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
DIVISION/BUDGET GROUP: Housing and Redevelopment Authority Housing Fund
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The City of Woodbury created a Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) in December of 2006 to assist in the
development or creation of affordable housing and to reduce or eliminate blight. The primary funding source of the HRA is
the HRA levy. These funds have been used in the past for activities such as the purchase of land for future affordable
housing in City Walk, funding the HRA loan programs and paying the salary and benefit costs of the City’s Housing and
Economic Development Coordinator. The Mayor and City Council members serve as the HRA Chair and Commissioners.
The HRA budget attempts to balance the funding of programs important to the City with maintaining as small of a tax
burden as feasible. State statutes mandate that an HRA levy may not exceed 0.0185 percent of taxable market value in the
City. The 2018 market value of the City of Woodbury is estimated to be $8,502,689,600 which would allow for a maximum
2018 HRA property tax levy of $1,572,998. As such, the 2018 HRA levy of $250,000 represents about 15.9 percent of the
potential HRA property tax levy.
MISSION CRITICAL / HIGH IMPACT DELIVERABLES:
Coordinate HRA loan pool
Begin analysis of the structure and timing of a future Housing Action Plan, following the adoption of the 2040
Comprehensive Plan
OBJECTIVES TO BE ACCOMPLISHED:
Issuance of HRA loans: Continue to coordinate and issue the loans from the three HRA loan programs.
Woodbury First-Time Homeownership Program
Woodbury Foreclosure Purchase Program
Woodbury Home Improvement Fund
Education and Marketing: The HRA loan programs require marketing and homeowner education to be successful.
Staff will modify tactics to reach new audiences, contractors and stakeholders.
Settler’s Ridge Senior Housing Conduit Debt: The HRA has issued conduit debt to provide financing for the
affordable senior housing project to be known as Settler’s Ridge Senior Housing. The financial role that the HRA
will play in this regard will be completed in 2018 as the project commences its construction phase.
LONG TERM OBJECTIVES:
Develop strategies to determine and meet the needs of affordable senior housing.
Partner with planning and code enforcement staff to determine appropriate roles of the Authority regarding aging
housing stock.
Modify and update housing policies as part of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan process.
Evaluate progress toward status as a sustainable revolving loan pool.
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
The HRA levy is $250,000, the same levy as previous years. The HRA funds the City’s Housing and Economic
Development Coordinator position less eligible labor reimbursements from the HUD fund.
The 2018 HRA budget establishes a $600,000 loan pool which will be analyzed throughout the course of the year
and adjusted mid-year as needed.

TAX ABATEMENT PLAN I-94 REGION FUND
OPERATING BUDGET - 2018
The Tax Abatement Plan I-94 Region Fund accounts for project costs in accordance with the tax abatement plan adopted in
2004 with School District 834. In past budgets, the tax abatement plan revenues were used to retire the internal loan
created by the 2004/2005 I-94 Region street improvements. After the internal loan was retired and the approval of the City
Place utility and street improvements in late 2014, this capital project fund is now budgeted to account for street and utility
improvement costs. The 2016 fund deficiency was funded by a short-term advance of funds from the M.S.A. Roadway
Construction Fund. No projects are planned for 2018.

OPERATING BUDGET – 2018
WATER
DEPARTMENT: Engineering and Public Works
DIVISION/BUDGET GROUP: Water Utility
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The mission of the Utility Division is: to provide safe, reliable sanitary sewer and potable water systems to the
community. This is accomplished through the pride and dedication of trained, licensed, professional personnel.
The Water Utility Division is funded through charges to Woodbury property owners connected to the City’s potable water
system. These funds are used for the maintenance, operation and management of the City’s water supply, storage, and
distribution system. These funds also finance potable water system planning studies, such as the Wellhead Protection
Program, groundwater monitoring and well field studies as well as Utility Division support services by other divisions. The
water system includes wells, storage facilities, distribution lines, valves and fire hydrants. This budget also finances
activities required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Activities and requirements include water quality testing, providing
an annual Water Quality Report, studies and reporting pumping and water usage.
MISSION CRITICAL / HIGH IMPACT DELIVERABLES:
Operate, inspect, maintain and repair potable water system
Provide great customer service
OBJECTIVES TO BE ACCOMPLISHED:
Implement and complete the rehabilitation of one production well
Evaluate and implement water efficiency programs including the continuation of water efficiency incentive program
for commercial irrigation and the design and implementation of water efficiency incentive program for residential
irrigation.
Increase security at water storage locations to protect water system
Complete SCADA system replacement
Implement and complete the rehabilitation of the Commonwealth Water Tower
Continue the implementation of the residential meter replacement program
LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES:
Complete the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system design and replacement project to
improve reliability and functionality. Scheduled completion 2018.
Maintain implementation the meter replacement program to ensure accuracy of water sold and maintain aging
infrastructure.
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
5308 Professional Services: Water Efficiency ($165,000) – City wide programs to improve water efficiency for
commercial and residential irrigation use. These efforts are in line with the City’s goal of strive towards flat water
use through 2030 and when implemented will extend the time frame for additional new wells.
5501 Residential Water Meter Replacement Program ($205,000) – Water Meter Replacement: The average life
expectancy of a residential water meter is approximately 14-16 years. Following the completion of a water meter
study in 2016, over 4,000 residential meters in excess of 25 years old were identified in the City. Within the next
five years an additional 7,000+ meters will age to in excess of 20 years. With the implementation of the replacement
program in 2017, a multi-year meter replacement program is needed to maintain aging infrastructure and minimize
unaccounted for water.

WATER
5510 Buildings and Structures: Commonwealth Water Tower Rehabilitation ($1,503,000 including engineering and
consulting) – Commonwealth Water Tower has not had a comprehensive rehabilitation since construction in 1992.
Following an assessment of the structure condition in 2017, substantial corrosion, safety, and other issues were
identified. This assessment resulted in the recommendation of structure rehabilitation. This project was included in
the City’s 2018 – 2022 Capital Improvement Plan.
5510 Buildings and Structures: Standpipe Pit Project ($103,000) – Due to aging infrastructure and a 1964
construction, water intrusion has caused safety and operational concerns. Mitigation including the removal of
electrical equipment from wet conditions is required for proper operation.
The City’s irrigation water charges for residential, apartments, institutional, commercial and industrial per 1,000
gallons were approved to increase from $2.32 to $2.53 per 1,000 gallons on January 1, 2018. Additional revenues
will be used in part to fund the water efficiency incentive program for commercial irrigation.
2018 water and sewer rates are discussed in detail in the budget transmittal letter.

OPERATING BUDGET – 2018
SEWER
DEPARTMENT: Engineering and Public Works
DIVISION/BUDGET GROUP: Sanitary Sewer Utility
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The mission of the Utility Division is: to provide safe, reliable sanitary sewer and potable water systems to the
community. This is accomplished through the pride and dedication of trained, licensed, professional personnel.
The Sanitary Sewer Division is funded through charges to Woodbury property owners connected to the City’s sanitary sewer
collection system. These funds are used for the maintenance, operation and management of the City’s sanitary sewer
collection and lift station systems. The sanitary sewer system includes collection mains, force mains, lift stations and
manholes. This budget finances maintenance activities necessary to ensure a safe and efficient collection system. Sanitary
sewer treatment is done by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES). These costs are also financed from
this budget.
MISSION CRITICAL / HIGH IMPACT DELIVERABLES:
Operate, inspect, maintain and repair sanitary sewer system
Provide great customer service
OBJECTIVES TO BE ACCOMPLISHED:
Complete scheduled cleaning, inspection, maintenance and repairs to the sanitary sewer system to minimize the risk
of blockages and back-ups
Continue implementation of the greater than 12-inch sanitary inspection and maintenance program
Complete rehabilitation of lift stations 1, 4, 8, and 10
Implement and complete rehabilitation of the Tamarack Trunk Sanitary Sewer Line
Complete SCADA system replacement
Complete lift station rehabilitation project to ensure improved reliability and safety
LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES:
Complete the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system design and replacement project to
improve reliability and functionality. Scheduled completion 2018.
Continue the implementation of the sanitary inspection and maintenance program to assess and maintain aging
infrastructure in pipes greater than 12-inch.
Increase footage of televised and assessed sanitary infrastructure to maintain adequate assessment of system
condition and to minimize backup and other operational concerns.
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
5510 Building and Structures: Tamarack Trunk Sanitary Sewer rehabilitation (1,386,500) - As part of the greater
than 12-inch sanitary sewer inspection and maintenance program, the 40 plus year old Tamarack Trunk Sanitary
Sewer Line was identified as up to 70 percent blocked. Following emergency cleaning and subsequent additional
assessment, substantial structural and other failures have been identified in the line resulting in tens of millions of
gallons of inflow and infiltration. Without timely intervention, these failures can and will result in catastrophic line
failure. This project was included in the City’s 2018 – 2022 Capital Improvement Plan.

5514 Machinery and Equipment: Televising Truck ($260,000) – An additional televising truck is required due to
aging infrastructure and continued increasing sanitary pipe miles. The Utility Division has a goal to inspect ten
percent of the sanitary pipe annually in the City. This goal at times has not been consistently meet and is becoming
increasingly difficult due to the additional miles of pipe, age of pipe, and repairs identified during inspection. This
request was included in the City’s 2018 – 2022 Capital Improvement Plan.

RISK MANAGEMENT FUND
OPERATING BUDGET – 2018
The Risk Management Internal Service Fund accounts for the City’s worker’s compensation, general liability, casualty
insurances and the self-insured dental program for employees. The worker’s compensation portion is funded by charges
assessed all funds with personnel costs based on payroll classifications and the rates assigned to them by the League of MN
Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT), the City’s insurance provider. The property and casualty insurance costs are billed to
operating funds based on loss exposures and LMCIT rating factors. The reserve is used to fund operating shortfalls due to
unexpected losses from deductible losses in excess of the budget estimate, workers compensation insurance premiums above the
1.0 experience modification factor, large increases in the property/casualty aggregate deductible charge and worker’s
compensation retrospective rating plan claim losses.
The general liability insurance is provided through LMCIT. LMCIT is a cooperative, member-owned organization founded
during 1980 that provides property, liability, workers' compensation and employee benefit needs to Minnesota cities. Members
contribute premiums to a jointly-owned fund rather than paying premiums to buy insurance from a private insurance company.
The funds are used to pay for members' claims, losses and expenses. The City retains exposures to losses for liability claims up
to $100,000 per occurrence, with a $200,000 yearly claims payment maximum. The City’s retains a lower loss exposure for
employee dishonesty ($10,000) and equipment breakdown ($1,000). The EDA and HRA also retain a lower loss exposure with
a $500 deductible. The Library Park Association, administered with Washington County, retains a loss exposure with a $10,000
deductible. LMCIT also provides the City with various lines of insurance coverage which are detailed in the operating budget.
The City has selected a premium option plan for workers compensation insurance starting March 1, 2016. This option
calculates the City’s premium based on payroll position classifications. The premium is then adjusted by an experience
modification factor that reflects the City’s past loss experience. For 2017 and 2018, the City selected the $10,000 per
occurrence deductible option for medical benefits based on past claim history. The deductible cost is projected to be funded by
applying the LMCIT 11 percent deductible credit to the total premium.
The Finance Department analyzes each insurance coverage category to determine the actual premium costs and allocate the
actual cost to the user of the insurance coverage. Actual risk management charges will vary between funds/departments
based on the exposure and class rate changes.
RISK MANAGEMENT FUND RESERVE POLICY:
The City shall maintain a minimum reserve balance of 25 percent of the following year’s Risk Management Fund expense
budget. The reserves may be used for insurance cash flow purposes, deductible costs in excess of the budget, workers
compensation retrospective adjustments, or to meet unexpected increases in insurance premium costs. The reserves shall also
be considered when evaluating deductible programs and/or self-insuring part of the City’s insurance coverage.
If reserves reach $1.0 million per the audited financial statements, 50 percent of the dividends, workers compensation
retrospective adjustments and investment earnings will be redirected to the General Fund. If losses or expenses in excess of
budget reduce the reserves below the minimum requirement, the 50 percent redirection requirement will be rescinded until the
reserve amount again reaches $1.0 million and, if necessary, shortages from this requirement of the policy shall be built up
through the budget process. Funds shall be budgeted as emergency reserves and not spent in the ensuing year. Establishment of
such reserves shall not be construed to waive the limits of the City liability as established by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466.
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
For the 2018 budget, the worker’s compensation expenses charged to departments are estimated to increase $78,100 or 10
percent. The primary driver of the revenue increase is the payroll growth of 7 percent (COLA, step and performance pay
adjustments, new employee positions in the budget and changes to part-time/seasonal budgeted hours) and anticipated
manual rate increases of 3 percent.

RISK MANAGEMENT FUND
OPERATING BUDGET – 2018
The worker’s compensation insurance claim costs and the corresponding experience modifier continues to be a challenge.
For the 2017 renewal, the experience modifier increased from 1.19 to 1.31 when compared to 2016. As a result, the 2017
worker’s compensation actual premium cost will be $90,000 over budget requiring the use of reserves to fund the budget
variance. The 2018 budget assumes the continuation of the 1.31 experience modifier and the 2018 estimated budget is
increased accordingly. As a result of the budgetary philosophy to charge worker’s compensation costs at the 1.0 modifier
rate and the cost pressures noted above, the 2018 estimated worker’s compensation premium is estimated to increase 10.5
percent over the 2017 renewal premium. A use of reserves is needed to fund the experience modifier at the 1.0 rate with the
impact for 2018 estimated at $177,000. For comparison to budget year 2017, net use of reserves is estimated at $155,000.
The general liability and property/casualty insurance expenses charged to departments are estimated to increase 5 percent or
$20,000. The 5 percent increase is a budgetary estimate of the anticipated costs increases for the property/casualty
insurance lines. Primary drivers of the increase include: a larger budget in 2018 than 2017, new employee positions,
additional sewer connections and additional households in Woodbury.
As with worker’s compensation insurance, the property and liability claim costs have also affected the liability experience
modifier and the aggregate deductible charge. For the 2017 renewal, the liability experience modifier deteriorated from
0.95 to 0.99 when compared to 2016. For the 2017 renewal, the aggregate deductible charge also increased from .134 to
.351 when compared to 2016. The combined effect of the annual cost increases as noted above, the change to experience
modifier and the change to the annual deductible charge, property/casualty premiums increased 18% for the 2017 renewal
when compared to 2016. As a result of the budgetary philosophy to charge property/casualty costs at the typical
modifier/deductible charge rates, the use of reserves needed for 2018 is estimated at $112,000. However, this use of
reserves is anticipated to be offset by LMCIT dividends of $100,000 and investment income of $12,000.
The self-insured dental program continues for 2018 where operating funds will be charged a premium amount each month
with the revenue recorded in the Risk Management Fund. Conversely, the dental claims and administrative costs will be
accounted for as well in the Risk Management Fund. It is anticipated this continued concept will result in premium savings
to the City as well as the employees. A reserve has been created within the Risk Management Fund to account for unspent
revenues over expenses. The 2018 projected $30,000 addition to the reserve will be carried over from year-to-year to
address possible funding deficiencies.

DEBT SERVICE FUND SUMMARY
OPERATING FUND BUDGET – 2018
Debt Service Funds are used to account for the payment of debt service on all debt obligations of the City with the
exception of debt associated with the City's enterprise funds. The enterprise fund's debt service is accounted in their
respective enterprise funds and is supported by user fees.
For 2018, the proposed budget declines 6.8% due to the retirement of the retirement of the 2006C improvement bonds in
2017. There are no refundings planned for 2018.
The City's bond rating is evidence of its financial strength. In July 2017, Standard and Poor’s affirmed the City’s AAA
bond rating. The credit rating report cited the City’s very strong economy with access to the broad and diverse
metropolitan statistical area, strong management conditions with good financial policies, strong budgetary performance,
very strong budgetary flexibility, very strong liquidity and a strong institutional framework score.

2018 – 2021 Capital Improvement Plan
Street Reconstruction and Major Roadway
Project Descriptions Street Reconstruction and Maintenance
2017-2021 Street Reconstruction and Maintenance Projects – Each year streets are chosen in accordance with the
criteria set forth by the Street Major Maintenance Citizen Task Force, the City’s pavement management
program and recommendations by the City’s street division. Projects are chosen on an annual basis based on
projected needs as well as funding availability. Streets to be included in the Future projects have only been
preliminarily chosen at this time. The scope of each project may include sanitary sewer, water and storm
water system repairs or replacement in addition to several different pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction
techniques depending on the pavement condition.
Municipal State Aid Roadway Construction Fund
2017 Dale Road from Cottage Grove Drive to Manning Avenue – This project is proposed to pave an existing
section of gravel road. The gravel section is in need of constant maintenance, therefore it has been determined
to be more cost effective to upgrade to a paved section.
2017 Cottage Grove Drive from Bailey Road to Dale Road – This project is proposed to pave an existing section
of gravel road. The gravel section is in need of constant maintenance, therefore it has been determined to be
more cost effective to upgrade to a paved section.
2017 Tamarack Interchange Bridge Lighting – The existing lighting on the interchange is failing due to its age
and is the ideal time to replace with more efficient LED lighting technology.
2018 Valley Creek Road Trial from Colby Lake Underpass to Dancing Waters Parkway – This project will
consist of adding a trail along the north side of Valley Creek Road to fill in an identified trail system gap.
2018 Lake Road Trail Improvements – This project consists of adding trail segments along Lake Road to fill in
identified trail gaps along with several trail crossing improvements.
2019 Traffic Signal at Valley Creek Road and City Hall Entrance – The improvements will consist of the
installation of a permanent signal at this intersection. In recent history, this intersection has relatively high rate
of accidents. An increased level of intersection control should reduce the rate of accidents for vehicles turning
onto Valley Creek Road from the City Hall Entrance.
2019 Pavement Rehabilitation – Woodwinds Drive, Tamarack Road (Tamberwood Trail to Radio Drive) and
Woodlane Drive (Glen Road to Military Road) – This project will address deteriorated pavement
conditions along with other minor repairs to curb, pedestrian facilities and utilities.
2020 Tamarack Road from Woodbury Drive to Preserve Trail – This project will be constructed to serve the
increased traffic generated from the development of the adjacent properties. The improvements will include
the reconstruction of Tamarack Road to a 4-lane divided roadway with necessary turn lanes. It will also
include turn lane improvements on Woodbury Drive (CR 19) to Tamarack Road.
2020 Woodbury Drive Capacity Improvements from I94 to Wynstone Drive – This project will be constructed
to serve the increased traffic generated from the development of the adjacent properties. The improvements
will include the reconstruction of Woodbury Drive to a 6-lane section along with necessary turn lanes and
intersection improvements. This project would be led by Washington County.
2020 Pavement Rehabilitation – Rivertown Drive (Commerce Drive to Hudson Road) and Commerce Drive
(Tamarack Road to Woodbury Drive) – This project will address deteriorated pavement conditions along
with other minor repairs to curb, pedestrian facilities and utilities.
Street Reconstruction and Major Roadway
Project Descriptions
185
2020 Bailey Road Management and Safety Improvements West of Radio Drive – This project will include the
construction of turn lanes, channelization and intersection control from Radio Drive west thru Newport. This
project would be led by Washington County.
2021 Lake Road Intersection Capacity Improvements, Pavement Rehab and Striping Project – This project is
proposed to add intersection control to the Lake Road / Pioneer Drive intersection including channelization
and turn lane construction as the existing 4-way stop is beginning to fail and upgrades are necessary to carry
projected traffic volume increases. The project will also address pavement condition and pedestrian safety.
2021 Pavement Rehabilitation – Woodlane Drive (Bailey Elementary to Copper Cliff Trail) – This project will
address deteriorated pavement conditions along with other minor repairs to curb, pedestrian facilities and
utilities.
2022 Bielenberg Drive – Gold Line Bridge over I94 – This will be the City’s contribution to the project that will
address the local traffic and pedestrian movement along the bus rapid transit way.

1998. Each year, 40 percent of the growth in commercial, industrial, and public-utility tax capacity in each city since the base
year of 1971 for the metro and 1995 for the Taconite Area is contributed to a shared pool. Participating cities receive a tax
