General Government - Finance
Mission and Current Services
The Finance Department is responsible for accounting, revenue collection, invoice payment,
budget monitoring, payroll preparation, and utility billing. The department is comprised of the
Finance Director, an Accountant II, and two accounting clerks one of which is shared with the Fire
Department.
Budget Highlights
The 2010 budget reflects a decrease of $11 ,300 (3.9%) due to a continuing effort of the finance
staff to perform more accounting/auditing services in house rather than have our audit firm
prepare the information.
Future Trends
The Finance Department acquired new software in 2005. The new software was used to
implement Utility Billing online payments (a convenience feature for our residents to pay their bills
online with the use of a credit card). The department also plans on implementing an online
payroll/timekeeping processing system in the next couple years. Significant annual projects
include the audit, Capital Improvements Program (CIP), and financial trend monitoring.
Outcomes
The major costs in the finance department, aside from personnel costs, are providing services to
the City as follows:
1. Audit: The audit process is an extensive review of our financial records and internal controls
in place to assure that all City assets are properly accounted for. The Finance Department
spends between $35,000-$40,000 annually to perform the audit and other related accounting
reviews. The City has received the award for financial reporting excellence from the

General Government - Legal
Mission and Current Services
This fund pays for attorney services that advise the City on questions of law, reviews all
ordinances, resolutions, contracts, and other legal documents of the City, and represents the City
in court actions including the prosecution of cases in District Court. The City has contracted with
Campbell Knutson Professional Association to handle civil and criminal matters, as well as the
City's prosecution duties. The City also periodically uses separate law firms for various
specialized legal matters (personnelllabor, bond counsel, EDA). The City uses consultative
attorney services with general service costs paid on a fixed fee basis.
Budget Highlights
The legal services budget was reduced by $20,000 (11.9%) to reflect actual spending. As
development has slowed, the need for legal services has been reduced as well.
Future Trends
The City will continue to use legal services to ensure that the City's interests are fairly represented
in all matters.
Outcomes
The contract for legal services ensures that the City has representation in legal matters, access to
legal advice, and the City Attorney attends most City Council meetings.

General Government - Property Assessment
Mission and Current Services
This fund pays for the valuation of residential, commercial and industrial real estate parcels and
personal property by the Carver County Assessor's Office. The taxable value estimates are used
by the City, School Districts, Carver County, and special taxing jurisdictions for the purpose of
equitably distributing the property tax on all taxable properties.
Budget Highlights
There is no change to the property assessment budget for 2010.
Future Trends
The City plans to continue using the Carver County Assessor to assess the value of all parcels
within the City of Chanhassen. The City has contracted with Carver County for service in 2010.
The City contracts with Carver County to handle assessment appeals through the Open Book
process.
Outcomes
Accurate and consistent property valuation is essential to a fair taxation system. The City has
examined the cost of in-house property assessment and found contracting with the County to be
more cost-effective.

General Government - Management Information Systems (MIS)
Mission and Current Services
The MIS Department provides and maintains computer, network and telecommunication
resources to all City users with a goal of assuring that staff has the appropriate technology to
efficiently perform their job functions. The MIS staff also provides direct support of both desktop
and server-hosted software applications and manages vendor support for all other City software.
In addition, the department provides basic software training and manages external software
training for all other City departments.
Budget Highlights
The 2010 MIS department budget reflects a 17.2% decrease resulting from the migration of major
software maintenance expenditures to capital accounts. MIS staff will continue concentrating on
reducing the number of physical City network servers through the use of VMWare virtualization
software. Desktop computers, workstations, printers and network equipment will be replaced as
per the established schedule. Some equipment will be recycled for use in less demanding roles.
Surplus equipment will continue to be sold via the City's online auction site.
Future Trends
Existing network servers will continue to be integrated into fewer physical servers utilizing a
VMWare Virtual Server platform. This reduces the number of physical servers needed and allows
for more efficient use of their computing power and resources. In addition, data storage for these
network servers was consolidated through the deployment of storage area network appliances.
The two technologies will work together to provide the City with redundant network resources.
Storage needs 'are anticipated to grow significantly due to the addition of scanned building drawing
images and sewer televising video files. An additional appliance planned
for 2010 will provide an
offsite backup repository for all City data.
The City is participating with Carver County on a joint fiber optical network which is proposed to
connect all cities in the county. If fully implemented, there is the potential for cost savings with
internet and web services and for the sharing of network resources.
Outcomes
The major areas of expenditures within the MIS department budget, aside from personnel costs,
are software support agreements for all City software applications and telephone systems. The
MIS budget supports the maintenance of all software utilized by staff for their support of City
projects and functions as well as all the required network equipment. Major software agreements
include financial applications, permitting, document imaging and various network support utilities.
Some of these expenditures have been moved to capital budget accounts.

City of Chanhassen
Public Purpose Expenditure Policy
Every City of Ch~assen expenditure must be valid based upon the public purpose for which it
is purchased and the specific or implied authority found in State Law.
The following are deemed to meet the Council definition of public purpose expenditures:
MEETING FOODIMEALS
The City Council recognizes that situations in which City business needs to be discussed can and
do occur during meal hours (i.e. luncheon meetings). In addition, there are public and employee
meetings and events in which reasonable refreshments may add to the success of the meeting
and/or event and create a more productive work force. The following items are deemed to meet
the Council definition of public purpose expenditures in regards to food and meals.
1. Meals and refreshments are allowed at City meetings and events that have a purpose of
discussing City issues. These meetings would normally have a pre-planned agenda and occur
during normal meal hours.
2. Meals and refreshments are allowed at employee meetings and events that have a purpose of
discussing City issues or are a part of an employee training. These meetings would also
normally have a pre-planned agenda. This does not include routine staff meetings.
3. Meals and refreshments are allowed when they are part of a breakfast/lunch/dinner meeting
for official city business when it is the only practical time to meet. Usually these meals
involve meeting with City councilmembers, committee/commissionmembers,.or local
business/fraternal organizations.
4. During official meetings of the City Council, council committees, advisory
boards/commissions, and taskforces.
5. Meals purchased by an employee, councilmember, or agent while at a conference or other

The City of Chanhassen City Council recognizes the hard work and service performed by the
employees of the City ofChanhassen through a formal Employee Recognition Program. The
City Council believes the benefits of attracting, retaining and motivating employees through an
Employee Recognition Program support employee job satisfaction, which in turn impacts
cooperation and productivity. The result is to provide excellent public and customer service to
better serve the interests of the citizens of the community.
The Employee Recognition Program is considered "additional compensation" for work
performed by employees but is entirely dependent on receiving funding from year-to-year.

e. Twenty-five (25) years - $150 in selected merchandise
f. Thirty (30) years - $200 in selected merchandise
g. Thirty-five (35) years - $250 in selected merchandise

approval process which includes a public hearing on the proposed budget.

City is permitted, provided that purchases made by credit card must comply with all statutes,
rules, and/or Council policy applicable to City purchases. The use of City credit cards shall be
limited to purchases on behalf of the City and no other purpose.
CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Practice
The City recognizes that technology is advancing and cellular telephones are becoming a part of
City equipment assigned to certain City employees. In recognition of that fact, the City has
adopted a practic~ governing the use of cellular telephones.
The development of this practice will encourage the wise use of available technology for the
benefit of citizens in order to deliver City services in an efficient and cost-effective manner. It
will also establish guidelines for the appropriate and efficient use of cellular telephones by City
personnel.
Guidelines:
The City may purchase cellular telephones for employees who have a business necessity to
telephone others and receive calls while outside of City buildings, or for employees' personal
safety. Cellular telephones are City equipment and are to be used by authorized employees to
conduct business in a professional manner. Employees are responsible for the proper care and
handling of all City equipment in their possession.
Cellular numbers shall not be given out to the general public except by the employee assigned
that number.
Calls will be limited to those that are necessary in order to perform assigned duties based uponcircumstancesatthattime. Calls that are not urgent will be made by other means. All calls will
be held to the shortest duration possible. Elaborate conversations will be held in person or byothermeans.
City employees having access to assigned City-owned cellular telephones during non-business
hours may make necessary personal telephone calls during non-business hours. In return for the
City paying forthe basic calling plan, the employee will be required to be available 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week for emergency contact, providing the dollar value of calls does not exceed the
91
monthly calling plan rate charged for that particular cellular telephone. Personal use of City-
owned cellular telephones should be kept to an absolute minimmn during business hours. If the
calling plan rate is exceeded because of personal calls made during business and/or non-business
hours, the employee shall reimburse the City the dollar value of personal calls that exceed the
calling plan rate. Calling plans shall be selected based on the City's needs and shall not be
adjusted to accommodate personal use by the employee.
Employees must also reimburse the City for all personal cellular calls made where a toll or fee is
charged.
Compliance:
On a monthly basis, cellular telephone bills from each cellular telephone will be submitted to the
Finance Department. lfthe dollar value of calls does exceed the monthly cellular plan rate, a
smnmary of personal calls shall be attached to the bill and will include the date of the call, the
time, the nmnber to which the call was made and the signature of the employee who made the
call. Also, a monthly reimbursement form for each cellular telephone (if necessary) will be
submitted to the Department Head. The employee should attach a personal check made payable
to the City of Chanhassen for reimbursement of personal calls made over the calling plan rate.
The Department Head will then: .
1. Compare cellular telephone bills against this practice, and
2. Forward the cellular phone bill to the Finance Department.
Safety:
In the interest of safety, if calls are made inside a vehicle, employees are encouraged to bring
vehicle to a complete stop when answering cellular calls. All outgoing calls, whenever practical,
should be made with the vehicle in a stationary position. Hands-free devices shall be used when
available.
Cautionary Note: .
Employees shoul<J be cognizant that cellular telephone communications are not a secure form of
communication. Sensitive information should be conveyed through a more secure form of
communication.
Assignment of Department Cellular Telephones
Department Heads or the City Manager must pre-approve all calling plans based on departmental
needs.
Adopted by the Chanhassen City Council on November 25,2002.

96
Section 2. Purchasing Practices
2.1 Ethics I Relations with Vendors
The City of Chanhassen holds its employees to the highest ethical standards.
Purchases shall be conducted so they foster public confidence in the integrity of the
city's procurement system, and open and free competition among prospective suppliers.In keeping with this value, employees should avoid the following practices when makingpurchasesonbehalfofthecity:
Circumventing competitive bidding requirements.
Examples of this include:
Splitting purchases so that they can be made through several small purchases.Using the emergency procedure process when no true emergency exists.
Using a 'sole source' exemption when competition is available.
Denying one or more vendors the opportunity to bid on a contract
Examples of this include:
Using unnecessarily restrictive specifications.
Pre-qualifying bidders on a discriminatory basis.
Removing companies from a bidders list without just cause.
Requiring unnecessarily high bonding.
Giving favored vendors an unfair advantage.
Example of this include:
Providing vendors with information regarding their competition's offers in
advance of a bid opening.
Making information available to favored vendors and not to others.
Giving un-favored vendors inaccurate or misleading information.
Accepting gifts from vendors.
Minnesota Statutes 9471.895 prohibits government employees from receivinggiftsexceptwheretheyareincludedaspartofthecostofaproduct, good, or
service provided (such as a meal provided as part of a conference).
97
Section 2. Purchasing Practices

Environmentally preferable products are goods and services that have a lesser or
reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with other goods
and services that serve the same purpose. The following is an overview of items that
should be considered prior to making a purchase. Details relating to the items can be
found at the Solid Waste Management Coordinating Board web site at www.swmcb.org.
Office Products - General
Erasable boards - alternative to paper flip charts
Self-stick fax addressing labels - alternative to full-sized fax cover sheets

for models that are certified as star compliant (can cut energy use by more than
65%) .
Printer Toner Cartridges - purchase remanufactured toner cartridges from
suppliers that will reuse spent cartridges
Vehicles
Motor Oil - purchase re-refined oil when possible
Antifreeze - purchase extended life antifreeze that is designed to last five
years/150,000 miles or longer

99
Section 3. Authorization
The City of Chanhassen has a decentralized purchasing program where individual
departments are responsible for making their own purchases. There are a few
exceptions including the supplies maintained in the office supply closet, paper and
stationery products, and modular furniture and chairs. The front desk receptionists will
assist staff members who need help with research or purchase of items in cases where
staff are not familiar with particular products. .
Payment Authorization Process
1. Determine the need for commodities and services.
2. Research the cost of the purchase and determine proper purchasing alternative.
3. Determin,e the appropriate account coding and whether there is sufficient funds
available. in that budget line item.

100
Section 4. Purchasing Alternatives
4.1 Sealed Bids
A formal sealed bid procedure is required for all purchases in excess of $50,000
except professional services.
A published notice of bid is required in the official city newspaper at least seven
days in advance of bid opening. The published notice must state where the plans
and specifications can be obtained by bidders and specifically, where the bid
opening will be held. The notice may also be published on the city's official web
site; however, this publication is in addition to the official newspaper publication.
All bid openings are to be administered by originating department.
The preparation of all specifications are to be the responsibility of the originating
department.
Required authorization for plans and specifications is the responsibility of the
originating department.
The city council must formally approve the bid contract.
The originating department then files the contract with the administration
department.
4.2 State, County and Other Cooperative Purchasing Contracts
State Cooperative Purchasing Contracts - The City of Chanhassen participates in the
State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV). This enables participants to
buy goods and services at a reduced cost under the terms of contracts alreadynegotiatedbytheStateofMinnesota.
The finance department has access to the releases and listings of
products/services that can be purchased on state contract.
If it is determined that a product/service is on a state contract vendors should be
told that the purchase will be made using that contract. When completing the
purchasing pap~rwork, note that the purchase is per state contract and indicate the
contract number.
4.3 Quotes
If a purchase is estimated to exceed $10,000 but not to exceed $50,000, the purchase
may be made either by sealed bids or by direct negotiation based upon quotations. If a
purchase is made in this range, staff members are required to obtain at least two written
101
quotes. These quotes should be in writing. If the quotes are not written, the requestor
who received the verbal quote must document the quote in writing. All such quotes must
be forwarded to the finance department with the purchasing documents.
4.4 Emergency
Emergency situations may arise where the normal purchasing process cannot be
followed for the procurement of goods and services. An emergency must be a situation
arising suddenly and unexpectedly which requires speedy action essential to health,
safety, and welfare of the community, and not just an inconvenience.
4.5 Request for Proposals (RFP)
RFPs may be used to solicit proposals for professional services. Typical information to
address in RFPs includes:
Background and scope of the project
The project's budget to ensure that the proposals stay within that range.
Proposal requirements should include adequate information to allow for propert
review and evaluation including:
Description of firm and qualifications, including any specialized experience
related to the project.
A list of similar projects the firm has completed.
Project timetables including: estimate of hours, breakdown of hours by
phase, and the city's expectation for a completion date.
Designation of a firm principal who will be in charge of the project.
Resumes for all staff who will work on the project.
Statement that either no subcontractors are allowed or that all
subcontractors will be identified and are subject to the city's approval.
Estimate of cost to provide the service, outline of fee schedule and
payment schedule.
Description of city's selection process.
City's evaluation criteria, which typically may include:
Quality and thoroughness of the proposal.
Similar past experience and/or expertise.
References
Cost estimate
The following statement must be included: The city reserves the right to
reject any and all proposals, waive all technicalities and accept any
proposal deemed to be in the city's best interest.
Submittal deadline: date, time, project name, and addressee.
Statement: "Proposers are solely responsible for delivery of their
proposals to the city before the deadline. Any proposal received after the
deadline will not be considered and will be returned."
Information about where questions should be directed.
Note: Staff should make sure that all proposers are given the same information.
102
Attach a copy of the agreement proposed to Be used for the project, including the city's
insurance certificate. The agreement includes provisions to which the firm must agree,
so it is important that they see the agreement up front. It is suggested that the RFP be
submitted to the city attorney for review prior to distribution.
4.6 Leases/Purchases
All lease agreements need approval through the finance department and legal counsel
prior to initiating a lease.
4.7 On-Line Purchases
The following guidelines are recommended for purchasing products over the Internet:
Only purchase from vendors that use secure servers for e-commerce. Most sites
will have a disclaimer, but some do not have the disclaimer language. If in doubt,
either send an e-mail to the vendor or call them.
Ask vendors if they have an 'Extranef available on their web site as an
alternative to credit card payment. If it is, log on to the Extranet where purchases
may be made using a password. Payment terms are specified by the city
employee at that time. This is the preferred method.
When using a credit card, follow the standard purchasing guidelines that are
used when paying by credit card on the telephone. It is generally safe to use a
credit card on the Internet, but be cautious - see the first item in this subsection.
103
Section 5. Payment
The City of Chanhassen uses various processes in making payments for goods and
services.
5.1 Standard Purchase Orders
Purchase orders are used when required by
the vendor to acknowledge the city's
request for goods and services. A copy of the purchase order will be sent to the vendor
when requested.

purchase order with invoice attached and authorization for payment to the
finance department.
5.2 Check requests

special conditions, for instance, if the agreement calls for performance by a
specific date. The transmittal form should also note the termination date of the
agreement (either a specific date, when a condition is met, or that it is an ongoing
agreement).
