INTRODUCTION
A Community for Life
Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow
CITY OF CHANHASSEN, MN
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 7
2021 City Manager’s Message
Mayor Ryan and Chanhassen City Council Members:
This past year has presented many challenges. Although the COVID-19 pandemic began in March, the
impacts on City residents and businesses has been evolving throughout the past ten months. Throughout
these changing times, City staff has continued to provide services – often in different ways than has been
done traditionally.
As if an historical pandemic wasn’t enough change, the City has been navigating turnover on the City
Council as well as the retirement of a long-term City Manager. Instead of turning away, the Council and
staff have embraced this change as an opportunity to try new things, make some changes and enhance
the services we provide to our residents and businesses. I could not be more proud of the engagement
and creativity I have seen in staff over the past six months as we work to find solutions to these
challenges together.
2020 ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Pandemic Response Highlights - The response to the involved the entire Chanhassen team across all
areas of service. The City collaborated with other agencies and with the help of CARES funding, City staff
and resources were deployed to help meet the unprecedented needs of the community.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 8
In spite of an incredibly unusual year, we also continued to move forward on City initiatives to continue
to provide high quality services to the City. We had many accomplishments in 2020 of which we can be
proud.
ECONOMIC CHALLENGES:
Impacts of closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic have had ripple effects throughout the economy.
The most recent budget forecast released by the State in December indicates improved revenues since
May, but still reflects a $1.273 billion budgetary shortfall for FY2022-23. Minnesota has 184,000 fewer
jobs than in February, which also impacts the local economy. Consumer spending has shifted on
purchasing goods, rather than services such as those provided by our local hospitality and service
businesses. The Council has repeatedly expressed concern about the impact of these economic
challenges on the City’s residents.
2021 PRIORITIES:
Priorities for the upcoming year reflect a continued emphasis on improving communication with our
residents, making it easier to do business with the City and looking at the impact of investments over
the long term. Strategic priorities for the coming year will be established by the City Council in a strategic
planning process this February to develop a formal strategic plan for Chanhassen.
Within this context, I am pleased to present to you the 2021 budget. This budget of $18.726 million,
represents a 4.8% increase over 2020. The general fund levy increased only 2.77%, far below that of
comparable communities.
The initiatives funded in this budget reflect new, innovative ways of providing services, as well as a fresh
look at existing services.

Financial Management
The City of Chanhassen Finance Department is responsible for maintaining the accounting system and
monitoring compliance with the budgetary controls and financial policies established by the City
Manager and City Council. Following is an overview of relevant financial management practices and year-
end reporting.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The City Council began discussion of updating its financial policies into a Financial Policies Document to
provide a foundation for financial sustainability and resiliency. It will establish a comprehensive set of
guiding principles for staff and City Council to make consistent and informed financial decisions with a
long-term focus that sets clear rules and builds trust and transparency. The plan will be reviewed and
finalized in 2021. The plan will become part of the annual budget process to be reviewed annually and
adopted by the City Council. It will combine current individual policies into a comprehensive document
address policies in the following areas.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting system provides for a complete, self-balancing account group for each fund of the City.
Accounting records are maintained on the modified accrual basis for the governmental type funds and
trust and agency funds. The modified accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues to the degree that
they are available to finance expenditures of the fiscal period. Similarly, debt service payments and a
number of specific accrued liabilities are only recognized as expenditures when payment is due because
it is only at that time that they normally are liquidated with expendable available financial resources.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 19
The budgetary basis of accounting is the same basis of accounting used to prepare the City’s financial
statements as included in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report at the fund statement level.
The full accrual basis of accounting is utilized for the proprietary type funds as defined in the notes to
the City’s financial statements. The full accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues as they are
earned and expenses as soon as a liability is incurred, regardless of related cash inflows and outflows.
For budget purposes the funds use the accrual basis except for capital assets and debt payments which
are budgeted on a modified accrual basis within each finance plan. Depreciation is noted at the bottom
of the finance plans.
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR)
The City operates on a calendar fiscal year and reports its year-end financial position in a Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report (CAFR), prepared by the City’s Finance staff. Copies of the 2020 CAFR will be
available to the public upon completion in June 2021.
The 2020 CAFR will be audited upon completion by an independent auditing firm to ensure accuracy and
compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. State law provides that the City may arrange for
examination of its books, records, accounts and affairs, or any part thereof, by the State Auditor, or by
Certified Public Accountants. It has been a long-standing policy of the City to provide for a complete
annual audit of the City records by independent Certified Public Accountants.
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement of Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Chanhassen for its CAFR for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The City has submitted the 2019 CAFR to the GFOA to
determine its eligibility for another certificate. The Certificate of Achievement is a national award
recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government
financial reports.
BUDGETARY CONTROLS
A budgetary system of accounts is maintained for the all budgeted funds. Control is maintained by the
monthly review of actual expenditures compared to budgeted amounts. Budgetary activity is monitored
to ensure that total expenditures are within budgetary allocations. For the past several years, budgeted
expenditures have been within budget. The budgetary level of control is at the fund and department
levels. There is a budget amendment process for unplanned expenditures and revenues. The
amendments are presented to the City Council throughout the year for approval, at the direction of the
City Manager.
INTERNAL CONTROLS
In developing and altering the City’s accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of
internal accounting controls. These controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute,
assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and
the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for
assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes the cost of a control should not exceed the
benefits likely to be derived, and the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments
by management. All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. As a part of the
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 20
annual audit the City's auditors review internal controls and annually City Finance Staff review
procedures to ensure controls are updated as needed. The Finance Department believes the City’s
internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper
recording of financial transactions.
CASH MANAGEMENT
The investment portfolio of the City is designed to attain an average rate of return regularly exceeding
the average return on three month U.S. Treasury bills, while seeking to augment returns above this
threshold consistent with budgetary cycles, economic conditions, risk limitations, and prudent
investment principles. Portfolio diversification is considered so that investments are not concentrated
in one institution, in one type of investment, or purchased from one dealer. Pursuant to this policy, cash
temporarily idle during the year was invested in those investments authorized by law (short-term and
long-term including, U.S. Government and Agency bonds and notes and the money market funds
invested in U.S. Government securities).
RISK MANAGEMENT
The City has a risk management policy, the purpose of which is to maintain the integrity and financial
stability of the City, protect its employees from injury, and reduce overall costs of operations. To avoid
and reduce risk, the City maintains an active safety committee comprised of employees who periodically
conduct educational safety and risk-avoidance programs within City departments. The City has insurance
coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust to insure City property and assets
against loss. The blanket policy includes coverage for buildings, personal property, contractors and
miscellaneous equipment, crime, employee performance bonds, autos and general liability. General
liability coverage amounts to $500,000 per occurrence with a $1,500,000 aggregate, with a $5,000 per
occurrence.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 21
Fund Structure
The accounting system maintains a standard fund structure for a typical Minnesota city government.
Following is a description of the funds included that are subject to appropriation, for which financial
plans and budget appropriations are prepared annually. These funds are the General, Special Revenue,
Capital Projects, Debt Service and Enterprise.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund serves as the main operating fund of the City. The General Fund is used to account
for all financial resources not accounted for in other funds. Most of the basic governmental services are
included in the General Fund. The expenditures from the General Fund account for the majority of
primary services provided by the City in the areas of public safety, public works, parks and recreation,
planning, engineering and general government. The Fund uses the modified accrual basis of accounting
for budgeting and financial reporting purposes. This means expenditures are recorded when the liability
is incurred and revenues are recorded when they become measurable and available.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
The Special Revenue Funds are governmental funds to account for services and expenditures where
revenue is restricted for a designated purpose. The City maintains four Special Revenue Funds and all
are budgeted funds using the modified accrual basis for both financial statement and budgeting
purposes. None of the Special Revenue Funds are major funds.
Cable Franchise Fund - includes franchise fee revenue received from cable television restricted
for City communications related use.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 22
Charitable Gambling Contributions Fund - is revenue received from 10% of gambling revenue
and is restricted for the purchase of public safety training and equipment.
Cemetery Fund - reflects operations of a City cemetery. The majority of revenues come from
sales of plots.
Grant Fund - accounts for revenue and expenditures related to federal, state and other financial
assistance programs.
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS
Capital Projects Funds are governmental funds to account for the acquisition and construction of major
capital facilities and equipment (except those financed by proprietary funds). This includes expenditures
relating to capital projects and large capital outlay purchases. The City has several budgeted funds in this
category. The Capital Project Funds use the modified accrual basis for both financial statement and
budgeting purposes.
Capital Replacement Fund - records capital purchases of equipment, vehicles, technology, and
facilities improvements. The resources may be provided by property taxes, issuance of
Certificates of Indebtedness, sale of existing equipment, and transfers from other funds.
Park Renovation Fund - The Park Renovation Fund is used to account for replacement or repair
of major park equipment and infrastructure.
Parks Development Fund - The Park Development Fund is used to account for park dedication
fees as required by the City ordinance. These funds are used to finance new park and trail
improvements.
Street Pavement Maintenance Fund - reflects revenues and expenditures for street rehabilitation
projects, major street maintenance projects, and small traffic control issues.
Improvement Construction Funds - includes receipt and disbursement of bond proceeds,
intergovernmental revenue or other sources obtained to finance large improvements and
additions to the City’s infrastructure.
Pavement Management Plan (Special Assessment Revolving) Fund - includes special assessment
revenue, MSA Intergovernmental revenue, franchise fee revenue, and property taxes for the
purpose of replacing streets.
The Transit Assessment Fund - used to account for the special assessment revenues and
interfund loan repayment for project Special Assessments related to the Dinner Theater Transit
Station in TIF #10. This is the non-TIF funding portion of the project.
DEBT SERVICE FUNDS
Debt Service Funds account for the accumulation of resources for the payment of general long-term
debt principal and interest. The City maintains individual debt service funds for each bond issue. The City
has established annual financial plans for all general obligation bond funds. The Permanent Revolving
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 23
Debt Fund is an accumulation of surplus funds from closed bonds. The City will address allocation of the
amount available in this fund to other funds during the 2022 budget process. The Debt Funds use the
modified accrual basis for both financial statement and budgeting purposes.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Enterprise Funds account for business-type activities. These activities provide services where most of
the costs are recovered through user fees and charges. The City has three Enterprise Funds. The
Enterprise Funds use the accrual basis of accounting for financial statement purposes. For budget
purposes the funds use the accrual basis except for capital assets and debt payments which are budgeted
on a modified accrual basis within each finance plan. Depreciation is noted at the bottom of the finance
plans.
Water Fund - receives its revenues from charges to all property owners to provide water utilities,
fund operations and maintenance and capital improvements.
Sewer Fund - receives its revenues from charges to all property owners to provide sewer utilities,
fund operations provided by MCES and maintenance and capital improvements.
Surface Water Management Fund - receives its revenues from charges to all property
owners to fund water quality projects, operations and maintenance, and capital improvements.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUND
The City does not have any internal service funds budgeted during the 2021 budget process. Staff will
be recommending the establishment of internal service funds for 2021 in the first quarter of 2021.

Budget Process and Calendar
The City of Chanhassen budget development is not just an annual process that occurs at a set time every
year. In actuality, the entire process is an on-going approach that fits into an overall framework of the
four primary principles of sound local government budgeting.
The City’s budget process is built on a strong foundation of financial policies and goal setting. The City’s
budget process begins with a review of the City’s Key Financial Strategies which defines the Council’s
goals.
Long-term financial planning is not new to the City’s annual budget process. The city always had several
elements of long-term plans in place. It has annual operating budgets for the General Fund, Special
Revenue Funds and Enterprise funds. Additionally the City has prepared 5 year capital plans, various
other financial information and prepared a utility rate study that incorporates the both annual and long-
term planning.

Each year the City Council is required to adopt a maximum tax levy ceiling and preliminary budget by
Sept. 30. The tax levy figure establishes the maximum tax levy increase that the Council can consider for
the next budget year and is the amount used for the individual parcel specific Truth-in-Taxation notices.
Historically, the City has used the maximum tax levy as a means for preserving flexibility in decision
making until later in the year when considering final budget adoption.
The City Council meets during November and December to review the recommended 2021 budget in
preparation for the final adoption of the budget. The meetings are open to the public and the public is
invited to comment on the budget at each meeting. Information is available on the City’s website and in
the City’s newsletter to provide residents with information regarding the City budget and services. The
public may comment on the 2021 Budget on the City’s website or at any of the public meetings.
On December 14, the City Council adopts the final budget.

Expanded Budget Document
This year the City took the first step to transition to a more comprehensive budget document with an
integrated long-term financial focus.
During the budget process the Council preliminary budgets were prepared consistent with prior years at
the fund level for only some funds and only for operations.
This final budget document was expanded to include all funds and incorporating capital, debt, other
financial planning information that has been presented to Council separately at various times. Some
information was completed using historical trends, future considerations and professional judgement
and analysis. Additionally, four year trends were prepared for all funds for information purposes.
Additionally, summary level combined fund statements were added for a full picture of the City’s
financial picture.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 28
At the end of the budget process the City expanded this annual budget document to a new format to
integrate all of its separate but related financial planning documents into a more comprehensive long-
term financial planning document combining operating budgets with capital budgets and expanding the
operation outlook beyond next year.
The main benefit of long-term financial planning is to provide context for today’s decision-making for
both staff in preparing the budget and Council in making decisions. How do today’s decisions affect the
following year and beyond? It gives decision makers the ability to predict what the City’s financial
situation will be, not just next year, but in following years. It doesn’t limit the City Council’s choices but
rather provides information about options in order to make more informed decisions.
Long-term planning is not about putting a plan in place for the next 5 years that is set in stone. It is
about projecting what the next 5 years might look like given the current situation and then annually
updating the plan as situations change and priorities change.
Key benefits include:
• Predicting costs of maintaining current service levels estimating the costs to continue to provide
the same service levels provided today. Of course no one has a crystal ball but we can make
broad estimates of the effects of inflationary and other changing costs over the next several
years. Another key factor is revenue trends and expectations for non-tax revenues. Changes in
other revenues affect how much of current services will need to be funded by tax levy.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 29
• Long-term planning helps to stabilize future levy increases. Long-term planning can level out the
peaks and valleys to avoid sharp increases in the property tax levy.
• Incorporating the CIP into the operating budget helps to clarify the answers to the questions
about affordability of projects and financing strategies. It also demonstrates the effects on future
budgets and tax levies when capital replacement and maintenance is delayed to futures years.
This helps the Council to make decisions that protect the investment it’s made in the City’s
valuable infrastructure.
• Long term planning increases the City’s strong financial positions and provides the flexibility to
meet unexpected challenges. When you have planned ahead, it is easier to evaluate choices and
changes to be made annually.
• And finally it puts in place a structure for planning and implementing strategic goals.
Setting the Stage for an Effective 2022 Budget Process
The new format identifies areas that will need more work and details added. With completion of this
budget document, the City has the base to refine future long-term plans in 2022. It is fully expected that
the 2022 budget document will address areas for more information, issues to resolve and opportunities
to expand and enhance the plans through the budget process in 2022.
Additionally, the Council has funded in the 2021 budget and strategic planning process. In February of
2021, Council and staff will work collaboratively with a consultant on a strategic plan for the City. The
values and vision will be the basis for development of the 2022 budget that helps the City achieve the
strategic goals that it sets for the City of Chanhassen.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 32
BUDGET OVERVIEW
Long-term Approach to Financial Sustainability and Resiliency
The City Council’s commitment to budget strategies focused on cost-effective approach to service delivery and
management of the City’s resources has placed the City in a strong financial position.
This budget document seeks to build on long-term planning the City has done in the past by consolidating the
City’s plans into a comprehensive budget document with the addition of five-year financial plans for all the City’s
funds. These plans bring together all of the City’s long-term planning and financial policies into one document
and will leverage the information as a guide to continue to effectively make informed decisions and to take
innovative approaches to ensure long-term financial sustainability and resiliency of the community. The
benefits of long-term planning include:
• Consistent and strong financial policies
• Maintain current service levels
• Stabilize future levy increases
• Capital equipment management
• Protect investment in infrastructure
• Strong financial position to meet unexpected challenges
• Plan for implementing City’s strategic goals
This is the first year for the plan. Previously the City’s budget document only included adopted budgets for the
General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, and the Enterprise Fund Operations. Capital was budgeted using the
City’s 5-year CIP. Other funds have adopted debt service or other financial plans. The 2021 budget process was
adopted consistent with that historical structure. The Council and staff desired to present a complete budget
and a long term plan for each fund so this document was prepared to combine all adopted budgets and plans
into 5-year financial plans. For this first year, some assumptions and adjustments have been made to present
financial information on a consistent basis with the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and
using consistent budgetary methods and levels of budgetary control. Projections have been made using
professional judgement for the purposes for an initial plan. The City expects to build on this plan in the 2022
budget year to expand the policies, planning and analysis. Council will have opportunity to provide feedback
and direction in future plans during the budget process.
The City will be formalizing a comprehensive set of financial management policies for financial sustainability and
resiliency. The City has a number of stand-alone policies currently which will be incorporated. These policies
will serve as a clear guide for consistent and long-term decisions for current and future staff and City Councils. It
ensures that decisions made in each budget cycle consider the impacts to future budgets and provides for a
stable strong financial position for the community now and in the future. The policies will be reviewed each
budget cycle to identify revisions that would be considered for adoption.
FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENT STRENGTHS
The City has a strong financial environment. The City has a strong fund balance and a fund balance policy which
provides for adequate cash flow needs and a contingency for budgetary flexibility. The City has historically
budgeted for lean operations and has operated consistently within budget. The City has a five year Capital
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 33
Improvement Plan (CIP) and the City adopted a utility franchise fee which began in 2019 to provide a strong
revenue source to fund the street reconstruction plan to maintain the City’s local pavement on a pay-go funding
basis. The City has annually completed a comprehensive utility rate analysis to ensure the utility rates provide
adequate system replacement needs. Doing this allows for a steady growth in rates without dramatic increases
to meet needs.
The City has strong local economic indicators. Development and redevelopment within the City has provided
historically healthy growth and high assessed valuation relative to comparable cities in the Metro.
These factors and a low debt level have provided the base for the City to earn the highest bond rating, AAA from
S&P Ratings. This provides the City with low interest costs to finance its capital initiatives when needed.
LEGISLATIVE IMPACTS
Local Government Aid (LGA) – the State revised the formula for LGA; however, it did not affect the City’s
allocation and the City will not receive any LGA.
Levy Limits – no levy limits are in place for 2021. The City will be participating in the State’s Performance
Measures Program in 2021 and therefore will be exempt from future levy limits as long as it continues to
participate.
Fiscal Disparities – The City is a net contributor to the fiscal disparities regional tax sharing program. As a result
the tax rate for the City of Chanhassen is higher than it would be without fiscal disparities. The net effect is
approximately $100,000 to the City.
CARES Act – The City received $1,978,887 of COVID Relief funding. A summary of expenditures can be found in
the financial plan section with the special revenue Grant Fund.
Minimum Wage – A significant increase to the minimum wage is being considered at the Federal and State
levels. If legislation were to pass, the City would have an impact to its seasonal positions. No increase has been
factored into the projections at this point.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The City has added performance measures to this document in several areas. Performance measures provide
information on trends and include measures of tax payer opinions on satisfaction with service levels. The
measures were added for informational purposes to evaluate service levels and to guide decision-making in the
budget process for staff and Council. As an added benefit, the City will be applying to participate in the State’s
Performance Measurement Program which provides a small amount of funding to cities volunteering to report
on performance measures. It also exempts participating cities from levy limits if levy limits are imposed in the
future. This gives the City council local control to set its levy to best meet the community’s needs and goals
through long-term strategies. This is particularly important to cities who have managed resources to maintain
historically low annual levies and lean operations.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 34
PROPERTY TAX
The budget is developed to anticipate future changes
to avoid surprises. The goal is to maintain a steady
property tax change. The City also compares to
similar cities to maintain a tax rate that below
average compared to others. The City’s tax rate is
the lowest of its comparable cities.
The City Council sets a total dollar amount tax levy
for the City. The tax rate is a function of the City’s
levy and the total tax base and tax capacity formulas
as set by the State. To determine the local tax rate,
the county first determines the total tax capacity that will be used for spreading the levies.
The budget is developed to maintain current service
levels, meet capital replacement needs, respond to
growth needs and to incorporate Council priorities
and community expectations. The City portion of a
residential tax statement provides a variety of
services including public safety, street maintenance,
snow removal, park maintenance, building
inspections, and recreation opportunities. It also
maintains the City’s assets and infrastructure such as
facilities, streets and parks.
The City has an Economic Development Authority
(EDA) but does not currently have an EDA levy. The
Council may consider an EDA levy in the future for
the purposes of funding a business investment
program.
The City Council adopted a 2.77% increase to the
property tax levy. This included a reduction in debt
service due to maturing bonds and an offsetting
increase in capital funds to invest in the City’s growing need for infrastructure replacement. The net increase in
the tax levy was 2.77%, the majority of which was in the General fund for operating increases to continue to
provide services at the current level.

The estimated impact to residential tax payers varies on
individual properties based on value and market value
increases. New development adds value to the property
tax base that offsets the increase to existing property
owners. The following table illustrates the change from
the prior year tax levy on different home values. Since
market value changes vary widely among individual
properties this table is shown without an increase in market value. This includes the City referendum market
levy for debt service. The effect of a 2.77% levy increase is projected to be very flat across all values.
REVENUE
Revenue forecasts are prepared using historical trends, current economic factors, and future trend indicators.
Volatility varies by source and estimates are conservative to avoid shortfalls. The City’s General Fund revenue
come from a variety of sources with property taxes representing the main source of revenues.
Revenue sources for the other funds are defined in each financial plan.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 36
FEES & CHARGES
The budget includes increases in the utility rates and some of the other fees and charges. A listing of fees and
charges set by City ordinance is included within the document.
EXPENDITURES
The City’s main function is to provide
services and maintain infrastructure and so it
follows that the majority of expenditures are
related to service providers and
infrastructure. This is illustrated in the chart.
Infrastructure is show net of revenue
received from other agencies for their share
of project costs. Most of the general services
are in the General Fund and the capital
improvements are included in the Capital
Funds.
Water, Sewer & Surface Water Management
activities are shown separately in the
Enterprise Funds.
EMPLOYEE SERVICES
The City is a service organization so the majority of expenditures are related to service providers – employees &
police contract. Therefore, the cost and inflationary pressures are largely driven by employee services.
Employee services and the police contract represent 78% of General Fund costs. The City added one new FTE for
information technology support to begin mid-year in 2021. Also, an administrative position in the Fire
Department that was previously shared with another city was converted from a contracted service to a full-time
City FTE for an effective net increase of .5 FTE.
The budget includes a 2% average increase in employee
wages. The union contract for parks and public works union
employees has not been settled for 2021. The City has
planned for an increase at the same rate as non-union
employees. The City will be completing a compensation
study in 2021. For planning purposes to estimate future
budget pressures, projections for future years include an
allowance for some possible additions and adjustments to
the work force in each of the years. Details and decisions
regarding future increases would be discussed and
determined during future budget processes.
The City’s employee health insurance rates did not have an increase for 2021. It is expected that rates will
increase in 2022 and annually in the years beyond.

CURRENT EXPENDITURES
Absorbing inflationary costs in other current expenses becomes increasingly difficult over the course of years as
it is a small percentage of expenditures. These include such things as legal fees, liability insurance, utilities, fuel
& vehicle maintenance, street materials such as salt and asphalt and the County’s assessment management fee.
Staff will always continue to address new ways of doing things and take advantage of operational efficiencies to
the extent possible but it is important to understand the nature of the bigger factors included here.
The budget includes an adjustment to reflect changes to the City’s snow plowing operations approved by
Council during the budget process.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
The City’s special revenue funds are relatively small in activity compared to the other fund types. The Charitable
Gambling Fund was negatively affected by pandemic closures. The revenue is used to support fire department
training. This was offset because training was also reduced due to in-person limitations. The expenditures have
been higher than revenues for a number of years and have spent down fund balance. Consideration in future
budgets should be given to changing the use of these funds to one-time uses to match revenues. Training costs
would move to the General Fund as regular operations.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
The City faces some future challenges in upcoming capital replacement funds. The City has committed to
addressing the funding in these funds through the long-term capital plan and through a long term financial plan.
Staff is proposing changes to the capital replacement fund to focus replacement needs by type (fleet,
technology, facilities, and parks). The budget includes a facilities study to identify needs in the existing facilities.
The City will review a combination of several options to reallocate property tax revenue, to issue debt, to use
available fund balance and to increase future property levies to address these needs. It is anticipated that the
City has the available capacity to adequately address the needs in a sustainable manner. New Council initiatives
would require additional funding.
DEBT SERVICE
The City called the library bonds in December of 2020 for early payoff of the final year of bonds with available
cash. The property tax levy for the library bonds was redirected to the City’s capital funds for street
reconstruction and street maintenance in 2021. The City has funds available for reallocation from closed bond
funds in the Permanent Debt Revolving Fund. These will be addressed in the 2022 budget process. The City has
one outstanding issue of G.O. Refunding Bonds from construction of the City’s public works facility.
Future consideration will be given to issuing special assessment bonds for special assessments for street
projects. The bonds would be completely supported by special assessment payments of principal and interest
without any tax levy support This would have no impact on the City’s debt service levy and no negative impact
of debt limits. Interest is charged on assessments would be relative to interest cost of borrowing plus bond
issuance and administrative costs. This would result in a lower interest rate charged to property owners than is
currently being charged. Currently, City resources are used to finance the principal portion of assessments.
These resources would then be available for investment in City capital projects needs which would otherwise
require tax levy support.
Outstanding bonds for utility infrastructure are accounted for in the Enterprise Funds.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 38
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The City completed the annual rate study. The City implemented a structural fee change to the base rate and
per gallon rates to more closely align with the fixed and variable costs of providing water service. This will
provide less weather-related volatility to revenues and will provide increased financial stability to the fund. An
additional rate increase in the Surface Water Management Fund provides for an increase to the long-term plan
to provide additional $3.5m funding over 10 years for the pond cleanout program. After the current year’s
adjustments, future rate increases are expected to average approximately 5% annually. Impact of utility rate
changes on an average quarterly bill with 26,000 gallon usage.
Utility Fee 2020 2021 Increase
Water 78.06 85.46 7.40
Sanitary Sewer 140.69 147.74 7.05
Storm Water 15.63 21.24 5.61
Total 234.38 254.44 20.06 8.6%
The water and sewer rate study included some bonding for some capital improvements in the future to
moderate the rate increases needed to fund large replacement needs. As the street reconstruction projects
have accelerated, the costs to replace the water and sewer infrastructure in those projects also increase.
2022 BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS
Long-term financial planning - The 2022 budget process will use the plans developed in this process for a
starting point for the process. Continued enhancements to refine long-term planning will be incorporated in the
future.
Internal Service Funds – there are certain activities which are accounted for in the General Fund which support
the entire organization. Staff is proposing to account for these activities in internal service funds. Charges for
services would be allocated to all departments. This would provide improved tracking, monitoring, reporting
and planning for these activities. There would be no net tax effect to this change. Activities being considered
are technology, fleet maintenance, and risk management.
Compensated absence accruals are also being considered to be accounted for in an internal service fund. This
would recognize cost of benefits in the year they are earned versus when they are paid upon termination. This
provides full cost recognition and financial stability to the General Fund. This is an accounting change and there
would be no change in the employee benefit.
Capital Project Funds – there have been some current expenditures (annual costs) which have been accounted
for in the Capital Replacement Fund which are proposed to be moved to the General Fund and Internal Service
Funds as appropriate. This would provide consistency and clarity of annual costs versus capital costs. This
improves cost management and capital planning.
Additionally, staff is proposing that distinctly different types of assets be accounted for in separate capital
project funds. Property tax funding would be proportionately redistributed between funds. This would provide
improved tracking, monitoring, reporting and planning for these activities. There would be no net tax effect to
this change.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 45
INITIAL LEVY PROJECTIONS
Projections presented for planning purposes
In the funds with tax levy support, each plan includes a projection of levy increases needed to keep the plan within fund
balance targets given the assumptions made about future revenues and expenditures. The goal is to avoid surprises
and to maintain a steady property tax change, avoiding future large increases.
An Overview of Property Taxes in All Funds
All of the funds are presented on the Initial Levy Projection table in this section to illustrate a total forecast of levy trend
over the next four years. This forecast is designed to give context to current decision-making by showing the effect
current budget decisions may have on future years if trends continue. It provides the opportunity to think long-term
about changes that may need to be made in future budgets. It also allows the City to develop funding strategies to
maintain the City’s valuable assets, meet community needs and fund strategic Council initiatives.
Start with Forecast of Other Revenue Sources and Expenditures Estimates
Each plan begins with impact that the results of 2020 and the 2021 budget will have on fund balance. Then, based on a
number of assumptions specific to details within the fund, each plan includes forecasts of revenues and expenditures for
the next four years to maintain services at the current level. Revenues are forecasted for the upcoming years based on
historical trends and anticipated changes. Expenditures assume some inflationary factors and incorporate the capital
projections in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Any other anticipated pressures are also factored into the plan.
Compare Resulting Fund Balance to Targets and Adjust Levy Projections
The result in each plan is the cumulative fund balances at the end of each year. The results are compared to the target
fund balance for the fund. The levy in each plan is adjusted to keep the fund balance in range.
Are These Levy Changes Certain?
No. The 2021 budget only sets the levy for 2021. The future years are simply the beginning point for policy and strategy
discussions. The projections create a transparent process where today’s decisions are not made in a vacuum and where
the impact on future years can be anticipated. Actual results in future years will continue to refine the projections and
budget decisions in future years will shape the final levy in each of those years.
This is the First Year of this Approach to Long-term Planning
This document is in a new format and is a work-in-progress. The budget process used the City’s traditional approach
with some added long-term planning high-level presentations. Council discussed converting to the new format at the
end of the budget process and concepts were approved. In order to prepare the first plans, staff began by combining
the City’s traditional budget schedules with information from its other long-term planning documents. The initial
implementation required building in some assumptions and strategies as a place to start. The 2022 budget process will
be the Council’s first opportunity to discuss the five-year plans and strategies in depth. Alternative options for some of
the plans will be presented for Council’s consideration of different strategies as we begin the 2022 budget process.
Building a strong comprehensive long-term planning approach ensures continued long-term financial sustainability for
the City of Chanhassen.

General Fund
FUND DESCRIPTION
The General Fund serves as the main operating fund of the City. The General Fund is used to account
for all financial resources not accounted for in other funds. Most of the basic governmental services are
included in the General Fund. The expenditures from the General Fund account for the majority of
primary services provided by the City in the areas of public safety, public works, parks and recreation,
planning, engineering and general government. The Fund uses the modified accrual basis of accounting
for budgeting and financial reporting purposes. This means expenditures are recorded when the liability
is incurred and revenues are recorded when they become measurable and available.
BACKGROUND
This fund is the primary fund of the City. There are five main areas. Budgets are included for the departments in
each area.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 54
REVENUE SOURCES
Property Taxes
The primary revenue source in the General Fund is property taxes which represents 78% of the fund’s revenues.
The Five-Year Financial Plan projects an increasing levy will be needed to maintain current service levels.
Licenses & Permits
The largest non-tax revenue source is Licenses & Permits. This revenue source is a highly variable source
dependent on development and remodeling permits issued. The City estimates this revenue conservatively for
budget purposes using historical averages and current economic conditions and trends. Shortfalls reduce fund
balance or require mid-year budget cuts to
current services. Positive results contribute
to the City’s fund balance which can be
used to offset future levy increases.
During the budget process the full effect of
the pandemic would have on the housing
market was still uncertain so revenue were
estimated to end at budget and 2021 was
projected to approximately the same as
2020. During the pandemic, permits
continued to perform stronger than
expected through the end of 2020 and
contributed to the positive increase in fund
balance by approximately $415,000.
Approximately $330,000 of this was due to
an unusually large number of roofing
permits issued due to a late summer hail storm. Projections for future years were raised for 2022 to recognize
an increased revenue trend and factored in a modest increase annually thereafter. Trends will continue to be
monitored.

Budget Actual Revenues
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 55
Intergovernmental
The City does not receive Local Government Aid (LGA) and does not have a significant reliance on State aid for
operations. The City does annually receives State aid payments for fire and police from State insurance
premium revenues that are statutorily designated for police and fire. The fire aid is designated for fire pensions
and is allocated to the City’s fire relief organization for pensions.
In 2020, the City received CARES funding for pandemic relief. The majority of the grant revenues and
expenditures are accounted for in the Special Revenue Grant Fund; however, a portion of the grant ($356,253)
was designated for funding public safety wages which were for police and fire time reallocated from normal
activities to pandemic relief efforts. Since these expenditures are normally accounted for in the General Fund,
the grant revenues were also accounted for in the General Fund. The General Fund had offsetting revenue
shortages of $285,000 in charges for services due to mainly to recreation for programming cancelled due to the
pandemic and $17,000 in funding from the school district for school resource officers due to remote learning
during the year. There was a net positive contribution to ending results of approximately $50,000 which will be
used to continue to offset future shortfalls.
The grant ended in 2020 and as of this time, there is no funding planned for 2021. As a result of the funding the
City did not have to use fund balance to meet the needs during 2020. Fund balance may be used for 2021 if the
situation continues. The City also budgeted a contingency of $50,000 in 2021 in expenditures for pandemic
response.
Charges for services
Recreation programming is expected to continue to be affected by pandemic closures and limitations. At budget
time revenue estimates were lowered 10-25% in most programs in anticipation of continued programming
reductions. Revenues may be below those projections; however, extended closings would also have some
offsetting cost reductions. The City will continue to closely monitor and respond to the situation as the year
progresses. Projections for future years were generally expected to return to pre-pandemic levels in most
categories. A full review of fees and charges will be completed during the 2022 budget process.
EXPENDITURES
The City is a service organization. This chart shows you how the budget is allocated to the different service
areas. A large portion is allocated to public safety and public works. This is similar to other cities. General
government consists of costs that support the other areas such as liability insurance, legal, admin, IT, and
Finance.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 56
By function, Public Safety and Public Works represent 57% of the General Fund. The City experienced some
savings in 2020 due to recreation programming reductions however, most regular costs continued in other
areas. The 2021 budget includes adjustments for snow plowing service changes as directed during the budget
process. The City is anticipating that cost increase pressures will continue and projections include a moderate
increase in costs in future years. The City continues to pursue innovative solutions and opportunities for
efficiencies to continue to be a lean operation while providing services at the current level in a growing
community. The Council’s commitment to maintain the community’s assets, provide quality services, financial
stability and the 2021 strategic planning initiative will guide the future budget decisions.
Employee Services
The majority of employee services for the City are included in the General Fund. The General fund activities
consists mainly of services. The City experienced some staffing changes and interim positions in 2020 including
the City Manager and Finance Director positions which will be permanently filled in 2021. The City will be
completing a compensation study in 2021. The 2021 budget includes an average wage increase of 2%. The
union contract with Local 49 has not been settled as of the end of 2020. The City expects the increase to be
consistent with non-union increases.
Health insurance increases are normally a big driver in employee costs; however, the health insurance contract
for 2021 came in with a zero increase which provided some budgetary relief for 2021. It is expected that costs
increases will continue to be budgetary pressures in the future year projections.
The budget includes an increase of two FTE’s. The City formerly shared a public safety administrative position
with another City. This position was changed to a regular full-time position. The result was a reduction in
contracted services and an increase in personnel services for a net cost increase for an additional .5 FTE.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 57
The budget also includes an addition of a technical position in MIS. This position will be added mid-year in 2021
for a partial year increase in 2021 and the remaining increase in 2022 for a full year of cost. This will bring the
MIS staff level from two positions to three. The City has added technology over the several years without an
increase to staffing to support more technology. The pandemic highlighted the importance of technology and
the CARES funding allowed the City to additional technology. This staffing addition is a commitment to continue
to invest in supporting the organization’s technology needs and effective use of technology resources.
Current Expense
Current expenses included inflationary increases to provide current levels of service. The City has included
funding for strategic planning initiative and a compensation study in 2021.
TRANSFERS
None planned.
FUND BALANCE
The General Fund balance policy is to maintain a minimum fund balance of 35% of the following year’s
expenditures for cash flow plus an additional contingency of 15% for unanticipated needs such as revenue
shortages or expenditures exceeding budget due to such things as storms or other unusual outside variables
which result in above average costs. Fund balance contingency provides the City with budgetary flexibility to
respond to volatility which provides financial sustainability and resiliency.
Estimates for 2020 year end anticipate growth in fund balance mainly due to permit revenue activity coming in
higher than budget. CARES funding relief provided relief for revenue shortages and cost increase. Cost savings
is also providing additional savings on the expense side.
The Council has had the past practice of designating available fund balance over the 50% fund balance target to
one-time uses. This budget includes a use of fund balance to provide a contingency in the operating budget for
pandemic related financial considerations. The fund balance would only be used if necessary. Consideration to
use of available fund balance will be addressed in 2021 during the budget process.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 58
2022 BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS
What needs to be done?
• Internal Service Funds – there are certain activities which are accounted for in the General Fund which
support the entire organization which are proposed to be moved to internal service funds. Charges for
services would be allocated to all departments.
• Capital Project Funds – there have been some current expenditures which have been accounted for in
the Capital Replacement Fund which are proposed to be moved to the General Fund and Internal
Service Funds as appropriate. Property tax funding would be proportionately redistributed between
funds.

Charitable Gambling Contribution Fund
FUND DESCRIPTION
This fund accounts for the proceeds that the City receives from charitable gambling. The City collects 10% of the
net proceeds from the pull-tab operations in the City as allowed by Minnesota Statutes, section 349.213.
BACKGROUND
Minnesota Statutes, section 349.213 provides for local control of charitable gambling within the City. The City is
allowed to collect a fee up to 10% of the proceeds. The city may establish a fund to collect and distribute the
proceeds. Distribution is limited to the same use of lawful purposes provided by State Statutes include parks,
public safety-related services, equipment, and training and several other specifically identified expenditures
areas of the City. The City must report activity by purpose annually to the State.
The City has established a City ordinance (Chapter 10 Section V) implementing the City’s local control consistent
with MN State Statutes definition of lawful purposes. The City has primarily used the funds for fire training.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
The main source of funds is the charitable gambling fee of 10% of net proceeds from local organizations
conducting pull-tab operations within the City. The fund also earns investment earnings on unspent balances.
USES OF FUNDS
For the past decade, the City has used the proceeds primarily for fire training to improve leadership and
enhance skills related to emergency response. Expenses include wages paid to firefighters while attending
training and other related outside training expenses. In the past the city has also funded some fire equipment
that enhances the safety of the fire department. Other lawful purposes could be considered.
TRANSFERS
No transfers are planned. All expenditures have been expensed directly in this fund.
FUND BALANCE
The fund balance is legally restricted to lawful purpose expenditures under MN State Statutes for Charitable
Gambling. The City will maintain a fund balance in this account at a level to provide cash flow sufficient to avoid
interfund borrowing.
2021 BUDGET INFORMATION
The impact of the COVID pandemic bar and restaurant closures reduced 2020 gambling revenue and the 10% fee
the City receives. It is anticipated that revenues will continue to be lower for an unknown length of time as the
pandemic continues.
Fire training expenses have also been lower due to in-person training limitations for the year. However, since
fire training is mandated and required for safety, expenses may exceed revenues in this fund in the future. Fire
training expenses will need to move to the General Fund budget if the fund balance reaches zero.
Future budgets may consider reallocating fire training expenses to the General Fund and designating these
revenues for other lawful purpose expenditures which have more flexible timing needs.

Communications (Cable Franchise) Fund
FUND DESCRIPTION
The Communications Cable Franchise Fund is a Special Revenue Fund to account for the revenues from cable
franchise fees for the purpose of City communication efforts and broadcasting public City meetings.
BACKGROUND
The Cable TV Fund provides communication and education to residents via programming on Channel 107.2.
Through this programming, the city is dedicated to improving public education and communication.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
Under the terms of the franchise agreement with Mediacom, the City receives a 5% franchise fee on cable TV
revenues in the City of Chanhassen as compensation for the use of the City right of way. The Plan assumes
revenues will decline slightly in the future. This assumes there will be some gain in subscribers with household
growth offset by some loss in subscribers as streaming options become increasingly popular. The City will
monitor trends and adjust the plan as necessary. The City continues to pursue adding other cable providers. The
plan will not include an increase due to new providers until final agreements are in place.
USES OF FUNDS
Use of funds consist of expenditures related to the broadcast of City public meetings including staffing, current
expenses and technology equipment.
BROADCAST MEETINGS – All City Council and Planning Commission meetings are broadcast live on Channel 107.2, and posted on the City website for reviewing within 24 hours of each meeting.
PUBLIC INFORMATION BOARD – Operate a bulletin board that advertises events and important information on behalf of the city, library, schools, and area non-profits.
TRANSFERS
No transfers are planned at this time. All expenditures have been expensed directly in this fund.
FUND BALANCE
The fund balance is assigned to future expenditures for the public communications. The City will maintain a
fund balance in this account at a level to provide cash flow sufficient to fund the on-going communications
operations and for future capital replacement of technology.
2021 BUDGET INFORMATION In 2020 the City pivoted to remote public meetings during the pandemic. The City received funding through the CARES Act to acquire technology to support remote public meetings. The City recognized the importance of technical support to implement effective use of this new technology. Funding for IT staff support of this function is not included in this fund but the 2021 General Fund budget includes funding for hiring an additional IT position.
• Pursue franchise agreements with new providers
• Monitor revenue trends
• Revise plan for capital replacement

Grant Fund
FUND DESCRIPTION
The Grant Fund is a Special Revenue Fund to account for the revenues and expenditures associated with various
federal, state, and other financial assistance programs.
BACKGROUND
This fund was created in 2020 to account for federal funding from the CARES Act to mitigate the impact of the
COVID 19 pandemic. This fund will continue to exist to account for future grants not included in the operations
and budget of another fund.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
The city may receive grant funds from various other government agencies. Grants may be accounted for in the
City’s other funds if the practical. A portion of the CARES grant received to fund public safety employee
expenses has been accounted for in the General Fund to appropriately match revenues and expenses.
Currently, no grants are final for the upcoming budget and therefore none are included in the financial plan. As
the city is awarded grants throughout the year, the budget is amended to reflect the additional total revenues
and expense for each grant.
USES OF FUNDS
Use of funds consist of expenditures related grant agreements.
TRANSFERS
No transfers are planned at this time. All expenditures have been expensed directly in this fund.
FUND BALANCE
Grant expenditures and revenues will offset. If a local match is required the City may account for the local
match in this fund or another fund.
2021 BUDGET INFORMATION
There are no grants currently budgeted. The City does not budget for a grant until a grant has been awarded. if
a grant is awarded during the year, a budget amendment will be prepared to increase revenues and
expenditures as stated in the grant project budget.

Capital Projects Funds
Five-Year Financial Plans
Capital Projects Funds are governmental funds to account for the acquisition and construction of major
capital facilities and equipment (except those financed by proprietary funds). This includes expenditures
relating to capital projects and large capital outlay purchases. The City has several budgeted funds in this
category. The Capital Project Funds use the modified accrual basis for both financial statement and
budgeting purposes.
Capital Replacement Fund
The Capital Replacement Fund (Fund 400) is used to
account for major capital purchases for
governmental activities in the governmental funds.
Enterprise equipment is not included in this fund.
Capital expenditures in this fund include vehicles,
equipment, technology, facilities renovation, and
park facilities. This fund is proposed to be split into
multiple funds in the future.
Park Renovation Capital
The Park Renovation Fund is used to account for
replacement or repair of major park equipment and
infrastructure.
Park Development Capital
The Park Development Fund is used to account for
park dedication fees as required by the City
ordinance. These funds are used to finance new
park and trail improvements.
Transit Station Assessment
The Transit Assessment Fund (Fund 413) is used to
account for the special assessment revenues and
interfund loan repayment for project Special
Assessments related to the Dinner Theater Transit
Station in TIF #10. This is the non-TIF funding
portion of the project. This fund will be closed at
the end of 2020.
Pavement Maintenance
The Pavement Maintenance Fund (Fund 420) is
used primarily to account for expenditures and
revenues maintaining local roadways including seal
coat, crack sealing, pavement marking, bridges,
sidewalks and other right of way maintenance.
TIF #11 Frontier Development #2
The Transit Assessment Fund (Fund 413) is used to
account for the special assessment revenues and
interfund loan repayment for project Special
Assessments related to the Dinner Theater Transit
Station in TIF #10. This is the non-TIF funding
portion of the project.
Improvement Capital Funds - improvements and
additions to the City’s infrastructure. The City has
three funds to account for local streets, County
roads, and State roads.
Pavement Management Program Fund
(Special Assessment Revolving)
(Fund 601) is used primarily to account for
expenditures and revenues of local street
rehabilitation projects, including Municipal
State Aid (MSA) eligible work.
Improvements County Roads
(Fund 605) is used to account for the
revenues and expenditures for City
improvement construction projects related
to County Road construction projects.
Improvements TH 101
(Fund 603) is used to account for the
revenues and expenditures for street
improvement projects excluding
reconstruction projects and TH 101
projects.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 75
Capital Replacement Fund
(Fleet, Equipment, Facilities, Technology, Parks Shelters)
FUND DESCRIPTION
The Capital Replacement Fund (Fund 400) is used to account for major capital purchases for governmental
activities in the governmental funds. Enterprise equipment is not included in this fund.
BACKGROUND
This fund has been used as a combined capital fund for large purchases in fleet, equipment, technology,
facilities, and other large governmental purchases. See below for planned changes to be considered for this
fund.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
The principal source of revenue in this fund has been property tax levy, sale of replaced equipment, interest
earned on cash balances in the fund. In certain years, the City has also transferred funds from the General Fund
to provide additional funding. Shared equipment may have a share of funding provided from the Enterprise
Funds. Proceeds from the issuance of certificates of indebtedness may also be used.
USES OF FUNDS
This fund includes capital equipment for the following:
• Fleet vehicles and large equipment
• Technology hardware purchases
• Large software purchases
• Facilities maintenance and replacement
• Park facilities maintenance and replacement
• Other capital expenditures in other departments
In prior years, expenditures for some large operating expenses have also been included in this fund. For future
years, these items should be included in operating budgets instead. This will require funding adjustments for
those operating budgets.
• Annual maintenance or hosted service agreements for software
• Expenditures below the $10,000 capitalization threshold
• Annual fire equipment replacement – group of items which are individually below capitalization
threshold.
DEBT
The City prefers to fund capital equipment replacement on a pay-go basis. However, the City may issue
certificates of indebtedness to fund larger purchases. Certificates are best used to fund an unusually high year of
capital acquisitions to spread the cost over 3-5 years when spreading the purchases evenly over a number of
years is not feasible. Construction of new facilities or major improvements to existing facilities with a life
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 76
greater than 15 years may be funded with G.O. bonds. If debt is issued, the repayment of bonds would be
accounted for in debt service fund with the use of a property tax levy.
TRANSFERS
All expenditures have been expensed directly in this fund. Expenditures for capital assets shared with enterprise
funds may be funded with a transfer from the enterprise funds in the future.
One-time funding transfers from the General Fund surpluses have been made in previous years. A funding
transfer is proposed of the remaining balance in the transit fund which can be closed at the end of 2020.
Transfers of other available funds will also be considered.
FUND BALANCE
The fund balance is assigned to future expenditures for the public communications. The City will maintain a
fund balance in this account at a level to provide cash flow sufficient to fund the on-going communications
operations and for future capital replacement of technology.
2021 BUDGET INFORMATION
For many years the annual property tax funding of this fund has not been increased. This has resulted in
delayed replacement schedules and deferred maintenance. Lack of funding has also created an incomplete
capital replacement plan. This has created a large future pressure on the capital replacement needs. The CIP
proposes a facility study in 2022.
The 2022 budget will need to consider a long-term plan to target resources to maintaining the City’s valuable
assets. This capital slide was presented during the 2021 budget Council budget discussions.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 77
PROPOSED CHANGES TO THIS FUND
Staff will be recommending a budget amendment to reorganize this fund into separate funds. This is a NET ZERO
change to the City’s total budget. Regardless of the funds used, the level of investment would remain the same
and the level of funding needed doesn’t change. What does change is the financial transparency and the long-
term asset management tools. Consistent policies with regard to use of capital funds versus operating funds
provides accurate and transparent financial reports and plans. It provides both Council and staff with the
financial management tools for better decision-making to evaluate where investment is needed and how to best
allocate available resources.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 78
What will this achieve?
Targeted capital replacement funds give the Council and management a better view of replacement needs in
key asset areas. This supports informed decisions to focus investment of limited resources in maintaining the
City’s valuable assets for the future.
• Focused Capital planning – what are the replacement schedules for vehicles, facilities and technology?
• Best total economic decisions– separate funds allow for flexibility to delay or expedite the use of
resources as situations arise. It also helps manage competing demands for resources.
• Identify all funding strategies – targeted and focused allocation of resources and appropriate financing
• Transparency & Consistency
o How much is the City investing annual to maintain its assets?
o Allocate costs to departments - how much does it cost to provide services?
o Annual operating costs are in the operating budget
o Capital investments are in the capital budget
What issues remain?
The current funding gap will still need to be addressed in a long-term funding plan. Delayed replacement and
deferred maintenance pressures have compounded over time to create a demand.
What needs to be done?
Redistribute current funds in 2021 as a budget amendment –
o create new capital funds
o redistribute beginning fund balances from capital replacement fund
o consider allocating available funds from surpluses in other funds
o move expense budgets
o Redistribute property tax revenue to the funds identified
Address funding gap in 2022 budget – make a long-term plan for allocating existing resources and measured
annual increases in property tax levy to avoid future spikes.

Improvement Capital -
Pavement Management Program Fund
(Special Assessment Revolving)
FUND DESCRIPTION
The Pavement Management Program Fund (Fund 601) is used primarily to account for expenditures and
revenues of local street rehabilitation projects, including Municipal State Aid (MSA) eligible work.
BACKGROUND
This fund has not previously been included in the budget process outside of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
process. Some estimates were made to integrate CIP information into an annual budget document format.
Additionally, this fund is being shown for the purposes of illustration of different available strategies. The
strategies will be discussed at a future work session with Council for input and direction.
In the year 2020, several major changes collided to impact this fund at the same time. This is the first year of
the new funding source from franchise fees which provided the funding to significantly increase the volume of
projects in this fund. The pandemic resulted in funding shortages from MSA revenue which put a freeze on MSA
advance funding affecting the cash flow of the fund. The larger volume of special assessments also affected the
cash flow of the fund. And finally, the Council was sensitive to the hardships that could be created by adding a
large number of special assessments for road projects when residents were feeling a great deal of economic
uncertainty due to the pandemic.
This five year budget plan will benefit Council and Staff to continue to evaluate, communicate and respond to
the current situation as well as prepare the City for stability and financial resiliency for the future.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
The principal source of revenue is utility franchise fees, property tax levy, and intergovernmental funds from
MSA.
Franchise Fees
In 2018 Council approved to begin a utility franchise fee to be dedicated to this fund to provide funding to
expand street rehabilitation of the City’s aging infrastructure. Collections began in 2019. The CIP was adjusted
to invest the franchise fees into additional street improvement projects. With a large volume of projects, the
amount assessed for property owners’ 40% share has also grown significantly.
MSA
In July of 2020, funding for MSA was suddenly and drastically reduced due to the pandemic. The City had relied
on advance funding of MSA which is currently not available. The change had to be addressed during the
construction season while some projects had already been awarded and some had been bid and were about to
be awarded. Council reviewed several options and analysis. Decision was made to postpone several projects to
2021 and beyond. Revisions to the 2020 and 2021 CIP project budgets were made. This plan attempts to reflect
those changes although changes to budgets that crossed years and projects that were part of a combined CIP
budget were somewhat fluid. The plan will be reviewed and revised as necessary with new information.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 82
Special Assessment Financing
Projects in this fund have special assessments as portion of the revenues for the project. It is the City’s policy to
assess 40% of the street portion of the cost of reconstruction projects in the City’s annual street improvement
program to benefiting property owners. The remaining 60% is paid by all property owners through the City’s
other available revenue sources.
Property owners may elect to pay assessments over a number of years (typically 8-10 years). When property
owners elect to pay the assessments over time, the City must finance that portion of the project cost either by
using available funds or by issuing bonds.
The City has historically, financed the 40% assessed portion on a pay-go basis. The annual repayments of special
assessment receivables from prior year projects provided funding for the current 40% assessed portion. With
the larger volume of the street reconstruction projects, the assessed totals are significantly more than the
payments coming in. The growing receivable balance restricts the City’s funds to finance a receivable rather
than investing in street reconstruction. This plan demonstrates it is not financially sustainable to continue to
finance the receivable on a pay-go basis. The following chart illustrates how much property tax levy annually is
required to finance special assessments on a pay-go basis. If the City bonds for special assessments, these
revenues could be directed to fund improvements.
Council decided not to use of special assessment bonds in July 2020 to address the immediate issue. This plan
seeks to add additional clarity to illustrate the City’s available funds from assessment repayment revenue. An
optional version of the plan has been prepared with bonding for review and discussion during the 2022 budget
process.
USES OF FUNDS
Project expenditures will include engineering, construction and Right-of Way (ROW). Project budgets for the
purposes of this fund were developed from the CIP and from Council actions on project approvals.

Occasionally, there are costs associated with design and planning for projects that do not go forward or other
costs that are incurred after projects have been completed for which there is no remaining project funding
sources. The plan includes an annual budgeted use of fund balance for these expenses.
TRANSFERS
In the past, utility infrastructure was accounted for in the fund and the utility funds transferred funds to pay for
the infrastructure. Beginning in 2020 the utility infrastructure will be accounted for directly in the utility funds
and no transfers will be necessary. This provides clarity for both the capital and enterprise funds.
PROJECT ACCOUNTING
The City will maintain a project accounting system which will account for the balances of each project within the
fund. Each project will have a budget from the CIP with sources of funds (revenues) equal to uses of funds
(expenditures) for the life of the project.
Most street improvement projects have a small percentage of expenses in the year before and the year after the
project construction year. For CIP and budget purposes the project budget will be shown in the year of
construction as a total. For large project which are constructed over multiple years, the budget will be shown
with an estimate budget split between years.
The project accounting system will provide a reconciliation of current projects in process.
FUND BALANCE
The fund balance is assigned to future expenditures for projects. Each project will have a budgeted with
revenues equal to expenditures for the life of the project.
The fund will maintain a fund balance to provide reasonable cash flow for the design and planning of projects
before revenue sources are collected. Cash flow for each project will be determined on a project basis.
Additionally, the fund balance will be maintained at a level to finance the following year’s budget as a
contingency for unexpected revenue changes or project costs changes. As evidenced by the sudden change to
the MSA program in 2020, an adequate fund balance is required to give the City the time and ability to adjust to
changes to remain financially resilient. There may be one or two year fund balance fluctuations in projections in
the future years due as project sizes vary annually. The fund balance available should be evaluated as a long-
term trend and strategy.
2021 BUDGET INFORMATION
City has historically used this fund finance the future assessments. As special assessment payments are received
from prior projects, fund balance is replenished and available to be either finance future assessments or it may
be reinvested into future projects. This graphic illustrates the options for using RSAF fund balance.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 84
The City may determine to use bonds to finance future special assessments. The future pledged assessments
would be accounted for in the debt service fund for the bond. This is a fiscally appropriate use of bonds which
matches the revenue source payment stream to the debt repayment stream. This would make the funds in the
PMP Fund available to fund other project costs currently. The City has approximately 10 years of special
assessment revenues that would continue to be received from prior assessments committed to this fund. The
funding would phase out over that time.
The following charts demonstrates the growth in the special assessment receivable balance. if the City continues
to self-fund special assessment receivables the City would need to invest nearly $7m by 2025 to finance special
assessments. Alternatively, the new assessments could be financed with G.O. Assessment debt. Debt payments
of principal and interest would be structured to match incoming revenue of special assessment principal and
interest without any additional property tax investment by the City.

Improvements - County Road Projects Fund
FUND DESCRIPTION
The Improvement County Road Projects Fund (Fund 605) is used to account for the revenues and expenditures
for City improvement construction projects related to County Road construction projects.
BACKGROUND
This fund was established specifically for projects related to Lyman Boulevard. The surplus from earlier projects
has provided an available fund balance of approximately $400,000 which has been carried since 2009.
In the future, this fund will be used for all street improvement construction projects (excluding street
reconstruction projects) and the City will use project accounting within the fund to account for each project. At
the end of each project, project expenditures will be reconciled to sources of funds and the budget. Any
balances will be identified as available fund balance for future projects in the plan.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
The principal source of revenue will be intergovernmental revenue from State, County and State MSA funds.
Enterprise funds will provide funding for utility infrastructure. If the plan identifies that there is surplus available
fund balance, a project may include use of fund balance as a source.
The fund will have non-project revenue from investment interest and other miscellaneous revenue. These will
contribute to available fund balance for cash flow.
USES OF FUNDS
Project expenditures will include engineering, construction and Right-of Way (ROW).
Occasionally, there are costs associated with design and planning for projects that do not go forward or other
costs that are incurred after projects have been completed for which there is no remaining project funding
sources. The plan includes an annual budgeted use of fund balance for these expenses.
TRANSFERS
The City’s portion of the funding for any utility assets will be funded from transfers from the Enterprise Funds.
PROJECT ACCOUNTING
The City will maintain a project accounting system which will account for the balances of each project within the
fund. Each project will have a budget from the CIP with sources of funds (revenues) equal to uses of funds
(expenditures) for the life of the project.
Most street construction projects have a small percentage of expenses in the year before and the year after the
project construction year. For CIP and budget purposes the project budget will be shown in the year of
construction as a total. For large project which are constructed over multiple years, the budget will be shown
with an estimate budget split between years.
The project accounting system will provide a reconciliation of current projects in process.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 88
FUND BALANCE
The fund balance is assigned to future expenditures for projects. Each project will have a budgeted with
revenues equal to expenditures for the life of the project.
The fund will maintain a fund balance to provide reasonable cash flow for the design and planning of projects
before revenue sources are collected. Cash flow for each project will be determined on a project basis. The
projects with large intergovernmental revenue sources will include a plan for timely reimbursement and/or
advances for cash flow of project costs. Enterprise transfers will be made at the beginning of the construction of
the project for cash flow purposes and will be adjusted at the end of the project based the actual cost of the
project for water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer improvements.
2021 BUDGET INFORMATION
The 2021 CIP represents the total project budget for Lyman Boulevard improvements. Design and engineering
began in 2020 and is included under the project budget.
The plan as shown includes two projects. The CIP includes a future project for Galpin Improvements which has
been included in this fund.
For the current Lyman Boulevard project, design began in 2020 and construction will complete in 2021. The
project is being completed in cooperation with Carver County. City will manage the project but the majority of
the expenses will be reimbursed by the County. The City of Chanhassen cost will be funded by use of MSA.

Park Renovation Fund
FUND DESCRIPTION
The Park Renovation Fund is used to account for replacement or repair of major park equipment and
infrastructure.
BACKGROUND
This fund is for replacement and repair of parks equipment and infrastructure. This fund has not had a regular
funding source. Some park building maintenance has been included in the Capital Replacement Fund. The
resurfacing of park pavements have been included in the Pavement Management Fund.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
The principal source of revenue in this fund has been transfers of surplus funds from the General Fund and
interest earned on cash balances in the fund.
USES OF FUNDS
Expenditures for replacement of playground equipment, picnic shelters, hockey rinks, skate park, bridges, fences
& backstops.
TRANSFERS
No transfers are planned at this time. In the past there have been one-time funding transfers from the General
Fund surpluses.
FUND BALANCE
The fund balance is assigned to future expenditures for the park replacement expenditures. The City will
maintain a fund balance in this account at a level to provide cash flow sufficient to fund the following year’s
capital replacement.
2021 BUDGET INFORMATION
This fund does not have a regular funding source. Identified playground replacement for future years are
unfunded in this plan. This has resulted in delayed replacement schedules and deferred maintenance. Lack of
funding has also created an incomplete capital replacement plan.
The 2022 budget will need to consider a plan to address both capital needs and a long-term plan to address the
funding of replacing and maintaining the City’s assets.
What needs to be done?
• 2022 budget - address funding long-term funding plan
• Complete 10-15 year replacement plan – include all assets
• Park facilities – Decide to include park facilities in general facilities or in the park replacement fund

Historically, some park replacement has been funded from capital replacement fund and street revolving fund.
This plan shows park renovation projects in this fund for transparency.
Trail resurfacing would remain in the street revolving fund consistent with other pavement management activity.
Note: This fund has been relying on one‐time funding. Future park replacements are unfunded.
In order to complete renovations, a funding source would need to be identified.
A $50,000 incremental annual increase has been factored in. It is not sufficient to fund annual projects at this point.

Pavement Maintenance Fund
FUND DESCRIPTION
The Pavement Maintenance Fund (Fund 420) is used to account for the revenues and expenditures for
maintenance projects to extend the life of the existing street system for the City and smaller roadway, right of
way and traffic control improvements.
BACKGROUND
This fund was established to centralize the financing of major mid-life street maintenance and other smaller
roadway, right of way and traffic control improvements. This provides greater flexibility in funding maintenance
and smaller improvement activities for the most effective use of resources. Street maintenance activities
include pavement crack sealing, seal coating, and striping.
In addition to street maintenance activities, small right of way replacements (i.e. sidewalks, curb and gutter
replacement) are accounted for in this fund. The street rehabilitation and reconstruction projects are in the
Improvement Capital Projects Funds. Routine street maintenance activities are in the General Fund.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
The principal source of revenue will be property tax levy. If the plan identifies that there is surplus available
fund balance, a project may include use of fund balance as a source.
The fund will also have a small amount of investment interest. This will contribute to available fund balance for
cash flow.
USES OF FUNDS
Project expenditures will include crack sealing, seal coating, pavement marking, sidewalk maintenance and
other right-of-way maintenance.
TRANSFERS
None planned.
FUND BALANCE
The fund balance is assigned to future expenditures in this fund. The fund will maintain a fund balance at a
minimum of 35% of the following year’s budgeted expenditures to provide cash flow plus contingency for future
maintenance.

Enterprise Funds
Five-Year Financial Plans
Enterprise Funds account for business-type activities. These activities provide services where most of
the costs are recovered through user fees and charges. The City has three Enterprise Funds. The
Enterprise Funds use the accrual basis of accounting for financial statement purposes. For budget
purposes the funds use the accrual basis except for capital assets and debt payments which are budgeted
on a modified accrual basis within each finance plan. Depreciation is noted at the bottom of the finance
plans.
Water Fund - receives its revenues from charges to all property owners to provide water utilities,
fund operations and maintenance and capital improvements.
Sewer Fund - receives its revenues from charges to all property owners to provide sewer utilities,
fund operations provided by MCES and maintenance and capital improvements.
Surface Water Management Fund - receives its revenues from charges to all property
owners to fund water quality projects, operations and maintenance, and capital improvements.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 117
WATER FUND
SUMMARY
It is imperative that the systems used to deliver water remain in safe, reliable and functional condition. The City
maintains a long-term financial plan and a capital improvement plan for the utility funds’ infrastructure to
ensure the City is prepared to replace infrastructure to maintain the functional condition of the entire system.
Annually, the City completes a comprehensive utility rate study set the rates appropriately to adequately fund
operations and capital replacement ensuring safe water now and in the future.
ACCRUAL BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The enterprise funds are on a full accrual basis for accounting. For budget purposes, the funds budget for capital
purchases and bond proceeds on a cash basis.
SOURCE OF FUNDS
The primary source of funding is user charges based on a property’s water usage. Minnesota Statutes require
public water suppliers serving more than 1,000 to adopt a water rate structure that encourages water
conservation.
UTILITY RATE STUDY
The City has its municipal advisor, Ehlers, Inc. prepare an annual rate study. They perform a 10-year cash flow
projection for the water, sewer and storm water utility funds through the year 2030. This projection examines
anticipated cash flows in future years and estimates the user rate increases necessary to meet all financial
obligations of the utility funds while maintaining adequate cash reserves.
The cash flow analysis method determines future revenue requirements by incorporating operating and
maintenance expenses, transfer payments, current and future debt service and anticipated future capital
projects. We also include future growth estimates in the model. The primary financial inputs in the development
of the analysis are the City’s audited financial statements, budget documents, historical water billing data and
the City’s latest Capital Improvement Plan.
USE OF FUNDS
Expenditures from this fund are used for operation and maintenance, debt service, capital improvements, and
infrastructure replacement relating specifically to the operation of water and sewer services. This includes all
direct and indirect overhead costs incurred from operating a water enterprise.
CAPITAL
The department is in the process of replacing outdated water meters and radios throughout the City, which are
used for timely and accurate utility billing. In the upcoming year, staff will evaluate the current process and
timeline for meter replacement, including exploring the cost-effectiveness of engaging a contractor for meter
replacement support to expedite the timeline.
DEBT
A portion of the rates charged pays for debt that has been incurred on capital portions of the utility system.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 118
TRANSFERS
Transfers of funds from the water and sewer fund are currently limited to reimbursing other City funds for
specific expenditure allocations, or capital project expenditures. The Water Fund is not transferring any monies
not related to its services.
NET ASSETS
For the Enterprise Funds, the City also strives to maintain working capital cash balances at a minimum equal to
three months working capital plus an amount needed to fund future capital projects as identified in the City’s
Capital Improvements Plan. Bonding for large projects and judicious use of net assets within funds can be used
to moderate fluctuations in capital projects and infrastructure maintenance expenses.

SEWER FUND
SUMMARY
The City has almost 130 miles of sanitary sewer lines. Most of them are in the street; however, some run
through utility easements in difficult-to-access areas. Each year the Utility Department cleans approximately
one-third of the city’s sanitary sewer mains. Lines requiring a higher level of maintenance are cleaned quarterly.
This routine maintenance helps to prevent blockages and backups.
The Utility Department is responsible to inspect and maintain the collection system infrastructure and the
sanitary lift stations, and ensure uninterrupted collection of wastewater.
Sanitary sewer disposal needs are served by the Environmental Services Division of the Metropolitan Council
(MCES). Chanhassen’s wastewater is treated by MCES Blue Lake Wastewater Plant in Shakopee.
ACCRUAL BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The enterprise funds are on a full accrual basis for accounting. For budget purposes, the funds budget for capital
purchases and bond proceeds on a cash basis.
SOURCE OF FUNDS
The primary source of funding is user charges based on a property’s water usage.

projects. We also include future growth estimates in the model. The primary financial inputs in the development
of the analysis are the City’s audited financial statements, budget documents, historical water billing data and
the City’s latest Capital Improvement Plan.
USE OF FUNDS
The single biggest expense in the sewer fund is the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES)
disposal fees.
CAPITAL
Between 2021 and 2030, the City plans to spend $12.6 million on capital improvements (in inflated dollars) from
the sewer utility fund, a 12% increase over the prior year’s rate study. Of that amount, the rate study anticipates
the need to finance $8.35 million over 10 years.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 123
DEBT
A portion of the rates charged pays for debt that has been incurred on capital portions of the utility system.

SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT FUND
SUMMARY
Water quality, lakeshore preservation, lake level variability, erosion/sediment control, and flood management
are some of the important issues that impact the quality of life enjoyed by all residents. The City’s Surface Water
Management Plan (SWMP) outlines goals for managing these resources.
Chanhassen has a wealth of natural resources including 12 lakes, 356 wetlands, and nearly 11 miles of streams
and rivers and their tributaries. Chanhassen is the origin of Bluff Creek and Riley Creek while Lotus Lake feeds
directly into Purgatory Creek. The city is also home to some very unique and sensitive aquatic resources such as
a designated trout stream in Assumption Creek and a rare ecosystem in Seminary Fen. Cumulatively, surface
water features account for 3,975 acres of the City’s surface area, or approximately 26% of the city’s 24 square
miles. The city’s Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) provides a framework for protecting and improving
Chanhassen’s lakes, streams, and wetlands as well as for addressing drainage and flooding issues.
The management of these resources is important for the benefit of wildlife ecosystems that rely on it. Whether
through direct use of Chanhassen’s many lakes, streams, ponds, and wetlands or through runoff from yards,
driveways, and streets, pollutants find their way into the water and degrade these valuable resources.
ACCRUAL BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The enterprise funds are on a full accrual basis for accounting. For budget purposes, the funds budget for capital
purchases and bond proceeds on a cash basis.
SOURCE OF FUNDS
The primary source of funding is user charges based on a property’s residential equivalency unit (REU).
Minnesota Statutes require public water suppliers serving more than 1,000 to adopt a water rate structure that
encourages water conservation.
UTILITY RATE STUDY
The City has its municipal advisor, Ehlers, Inc. prepare an annual rate study. They perform a 10-year cash flow
projection for the water, sewer and storm water utility funds through the year 2030. This projection examines
anticipated cash flows in future years and estimates the user rate increases necessary to meet all financial
obligations of the utility funds while maintaining adequate cash reserves.
The cash flow analysis method determines future revenue requirements by incorporating operating and
maintenance expenses, transfer payments, current and future debt service and anticipated future capital
projects. We also include future growth estimates in the model. The primary financial inputs in the development
of the analysis are the City’s audited financial statements, budget documents, historical water billing data and
the City’s latest Capital Improvement Plan.
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 127
USE OF FUNDS
Expenditures from this fund are used for operation and maintenance, debt service, capital improvements, and
infrastructure replacement relating specifically to the managing the City’s surface water. This includes all direct
and indirect overhead costs.
CAPITAL
Managing storm water is a significant and increasingly complex mandate imposed on cities by the state. Meeting
new storm water requirements is expensive and is putting pressure on all cities to increase storm water rates. In
addition, the City’s storm water system of pipes and ponds is aging and requires additional maintenance as
reflected in two changes to the Storm Water Fund this year. The City is committed to adequately maintaining its
storm water ponds and other related infrastructure and is planning to add $350,000 per year to its capital
expenditures beginning in 2021.
DEBT
A portion of the rates charged pays for debt that has been incurred on capital portions of the utility system.
TRANSFERS
Transfers of funds from the water and sewer fund are currently limited to reimbursing other City funds for
specific expenditure allocations, or capital project expenditures. The Water Fund is not transferring any monies
not related to its services.
NET ASSETS
For the Enterprise Funds, the City also strives to maintain working capital cash balances at a minimum equal to
three months working capital plus an amount needed to fund future capital projects as identified in the City’s
Capital Improvements Plan. Bonding for large projects and judicious use of net assets within funds can be used
to moderate fluctuations in capital projects and infrastructure maintenance expenses.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FISCAL POLICY
GENERAL POLICY
Chanhassen’s Capital Improvements Program reflects an assessment of the community’s needs
and its ability to pay for major improvements. It is founded on the policy that reinvestment
required for replacement, maintenance, or the increased efficiency of existing systems shall have
priority over investments for expansion of existing systems or the provision of new services.
FUNDING PRIORITIES
Capital spending proposals will generally be funded on the following priority basis:
1. Those projects necessary for contributing to the public health and welfare.
2. Those projects which will help to maintain an existing system.
3. Those projects that will make an existing system more efficient.
4. Those projects representing the expansion of an existing system for new service or
completely new public facility or service.
FUNDING PRINCIPLES
As a result, the following principles shall govern the implementation of the recommended
Capital Improvements Program:
1. The City will make all capital improvements in accordance with the adopted Capital
Improvements Program.
2. The City will develop a multi-year plan for Capital Improvements and update it annually.
3. The City will coordinate development of the Capital Improvements Program with
development of the annual operating budget. Future optional costs associated with new
capital improvements will be projected and included in operation budget forecasts.

Description
This program is to provide additional and/or replacement SCBA air bottles, SCBA face masks, and upgrades to SCBA air packs as needed.
Project #EQ-004
Priority n/a
Justification
Firefighting is a very rigorous and demanding activity that is performed in an environment of extremes. The periodic replacement and/or
additions to SCBA equipment is required to maintain current quantities through replacement of damaged or destroyed equipment and to equip
new firefighters. The current equipment has reached the NFPA compliance life cycle.
Budget Impact/Other
There should be no operational impact from this purchase. The current maintenance budget will accommodate for this addition.

thru Department Major Equipment
Description
Funds the purchase of replacement user and network computer, printer, peripherals, and networking hardware. The replacement schedule was
adopted in 1999 and is subject to modification by the MIS Coordinator with the approval of the City Manager and department heads.
Project #EQ-013
Priority n/a
Justification
Budgeting and purchasing computer equipment through this project allows the City greater flexibility to direct equipment to where it is needed
the most, rather than in individual budgets. The replacement schedule was developed by the MIS Coordinator in 1999 and approved by the 1999
Council appointed IT Task Force. Expenditures in the 2021 budget requests are for the replacement of the two production Vmware host servers,
1 network switch and the primary city firewall appliances. Most of the equipment being replaced will be recycled and re-issued to City staff.
The oldest equipment in the inventory will be sold on the City public surplus auction site. Security related expenditures have been moved to the
Security/Access Control Systems project.
Budget Impact/Other
Most items purchased for this account come with a 1 to 3 year warranty. When possible, extended warranty is purchased to cover the life of the
hardware. Repairs to items are done by MIS staff after the warranty period expires. Spare parts or outside repairs are funded out of 101-1160-
4530 (Repair & Maintenance-Equipment) or 101-1160-4300 (Consulting).

Description
This project funds the expansion and upgrades to the City telephone systems, excluding cellular equipment and service which remains an
individual department budget item. The current City telephone system is a Mitel model 5000 and is located in the server room at City Hall.
This system provides phone service for City Hall, the Library, Public Works, the Recreation Center, Fire Station 1 and the Water Treatment
Plants.
Project #EQ-014
Priority n/a
Justification
A central PBX system simplifies the management of phone services and allows for the integration of phone services with other City applications
such as unified messaging and fax services. The city PBX system was replaced with the current Mitel 5000 in 2012. This model is still in
production with Mitel. Additional IP handsets will be ordered as replacements for existing Intertel digital phones at City Hall and the Fire
Station. The system will reach its projected service life in 2022 at which time other options such as a hosted or other on-premise hybrid solution
will be implemented.
Budget Impact/Other
Maintenance for the replacement telephone system will be funded out of the 1160-4300 services account.

Description
These purchases are required to maintain a reliable truck fleet. Costs include truck chassis, dump box, hydraulic system, snow wing, snow plow,
tarp and sander. These vehicles are purchased using the State of MN cooperative bid systems. Orders for truck chassis are typically required to
be placed up to one year in advance of delivery. The 2025 purchase will be an addition to the fleet due to local street growth. We will not be
replacing the 1996 John Deere 544G loader (#146) to allow for this addition.
Replacement schedule is as follows:
2021 - #126 2001 Sterling L8513 Dump/Plow Truck-with plow, wing, tarp and sander (20 years old)
2022 - #127 2001 Sterling L8513 Dump/Plow Truck-with plow, wing, tarp and sander (21 years old)

2024 - #104 2008 Mack GU713 with plow - Tandem Axle (16 years old)
Project #EQ-016
Priority n/a
Justification
These vehicles are used to provide a variety of maintenance services throughout the community including winter response for plowing and
hauling snow. The life expectancy of these vehicles is 18 years. Winter emergency service necessitates these vehicles be reliable and
dependable. Growth in the community creates additional work for these trucks. These vehicle purchases are consistent with the Vehicle
Replacement Schedule.
Budget Impact/Other
These purchases will include a limited warranty and will reduce the annual maintenance and repair costs as compared to the vehicles replaced.
The old vehicles are primarily sold at auction. The cost shown does not include the offsets from trade-in or auction revenue.

Description
This project funds the purchase and renewal of major software programs for all City departments that are not associated with a specific,
individual project. Smaller annual software support and license renewal fees are funded out of account 101-1160-4300. The major reoccurring
software costs were moved to this account in 2010.
Project #EQ-048
Priority n/a
Justification
The major portion of funds requested for this project are for BS&A, ESRI, Laserfiche, Microsoft and Cartegraph software purchases and
renewals. The City joined the Microsoft Enterprise Purchasing Agreement for the State of Minnesota in 2007. All Microsoft software is
purchased and renewed under this agreement. Participating in the state agreement allows the City to spread the cost of the product over a period
of three years. Products are purchased with Software Assurance to allow for upgrades when they are released. These costs are also spread over
a three year period. The City is participating in a joint software licensing agreement with Carver County and several other cities for ESRI GIS
software which is funded from this project. This allowed for unlimited GIS application licenses which are in use in every department at reduced
cost. The asset management software purchased from Cartegraph was upgraded to a new version in 2017. Purchase costs were divided into 4
different funding sources. A new online building permits application will go live in 2021 and will replace the current Springbrook permits
module.

Description
This project originally funded the purchase of an electronic records retention system in 2002. Laserfiche was the vendor chosen for the project.
This project is now used to fund its add on modules and the replacement costs for associated scanning equipment, which have a useful life
expectancy of 5 to 7 years. Additional client licenses are planned to accommodate additional users and project workflows. Additional software
modules are proposed for later years to allow for improved integration with the City web site.
Project #EQ-049
Priority n/a
Justification
This system allows for quick and simultaneous retrieval of documents from any computer on the City network. Both physical document storage
space and the occurrence of lost or misfiled documents will be significantly reduced. In addition, documents specified for public access can be
easily made available to the public from any internet capable computer or mobile device. The system was upgraded to the Laserfiche Avante
platform in 2015. This upgrade included a new workflow engine, web enabled clients and improved auditing and scanning functions.
Workflows for automating the scanning and importing of documents were started in 2015. Additional workflow will be created to manage
property development records. The Public Portal module was upgraded to 25 users in 2019. Public forms was added in 2020 which will allow
staff to create publicly accessible forms that will integrate with internal workflows. A records management module is proposed for 2021 which
will allow for automation of records disposition.
Budget Impact/Other
Hardware maintenance and repairs are funded out of the 101-1160-4300 services account. A proposed upgrade to Public Forms will add $1600
to the 400-4117-4703 account.

Description
This project funds the aerial photography for the integration with the City's existing GIS datasets. The City is participating with Carver County
and several other cities and counties in a joint project to purchase services and data. An initial joint aerial flyover for high resolution
orthographic imagery data was conducted in April of 2005 and was scheduled to be re-flown every three years. The schedule was revised as
needed to accommodate budget changes and to allow for a collaborative project. The last county/city aerial flyover for high resolution
photography was completed in 2016. The next flight will be done in 2021. The County has decided to cover the costs of all future orthographic
layers. The City will need to fund for Planometrics, Pictometry, LiDAR, Contours and other specialty map layers as appropriate.
Project #EQ-055
Priority n/a
Justification
City Planners, Engineers and Utility staff use this data in conjunction with other GIS datasets to help resolve geographical issues with residents
and contractors without repeated site visits. It is used in nearly every scheduled staff meeting and has proven useful to the Sheriffs Office and
fire department when conducting area searches. In 2008, Carver County chose a new vendor (Pictometry), which added a three dimensional
view to mapping data. The Pictometry solution provides the ability for staff to view each side of buildings and includes a toolset which allows
for accurate measurement of areas and lines. Enhanced map layers (Planometrics), created from the aerial data collected is also used by staff to
measure and display hard surface coverage such as driveways, parking lots and others.
Budget Impact/Other
No operational impact is expected.

Description
This project funds the data storage equipment for the City storage area network, which is where the majority of all City electronic data is
maintained. This storage are network (SAN) is a system comprised of numerous individual storage arrays, all managed from a single console.
The SAN allows disk storage to be easily modified as storage needs change, without any downtime for users. This equipment also hosts the
City's virtual network servers. A primary production storage array is located at City Hall in the main server room. A backup replication storage
array is located in an auxiliary server room at the Public Works facility and also hosts several virtual machines.
Project #EQ-081
Priority n/a
Justification
The need for digital storage space for City documentation and applications is growing at a rate of approximately 1 to 2 Tb per year. Existing
storage space became difficult to manage on individual physical network servers. Internal storage utilization is inefficient, and requires system
downtime to reconfigure. Storage area network (SAN) technology allows for real time reconfiguration as well as the ability to make real time
copies for redundancy and for daytime backup processes. The majority of the City physical network servers were virtualized and integrated into
just three host servers which utilize this storage. A Compellent storage array was installed in 2016 as the production storage array. A new
Compellent array replaced this array in 2019. The older Compellent array then replaced the two older replication Equallogic arrays at the Public
Works building. This array is recommended for replacement in 2022. At that time other options, such as a converged platform, which integrates
host server and SAN, will be evaluated.
Budget Impact/Other
New arrays will be purchased with 5 years of warranty support. Software and hardware support for the storage arrays beyond 5 years will be
funded out of the MIS services account 101-1160-4220.

Description
The item would fund the annual trade in of skid loaders. All units are foot controlled, hand controls cost almost double.

T590 Bobcat Skidloader (#413)
S630 Bobcat Skidloader (#150)

We will be adding a 5th unit (S640) in 2021 due to heavy use and running high on hours which jeopardizes the trade-in program.
Project #EQ-124
Priority n/a
Justification
Due to the state bid pricing, the City is able to trade our skid loaders annually on a price/hour cost, to a maximum number of hours. Trading in
newer machines guarantees there will be no other expenses except oil changes and grease jobs because the machine will always have a
warranty. This approach is also a better life cycle cost over keeping the machines for 15 years. There is no guarantee on the state bid pricing or
the trade in price, so staff will be pricing annually to determine if it is a good deal or if we should hold on to the machine for an extended period.

Description
This project funds the expansion of the security and access control systems in all City buildings with the exception of the Water Treatment
Plants which come out of an enterprise fund. An access control system was installed in City Hall and Fire Station 1 in 2015. The project also
included software and hardware conversions for the system originally installed at the Public Works facility. All access control systems are now
on one central control system, including the Water Treatment plants.
Project #EQ-152
Priority n/a
Justification
The access control system allows for more efficient control of City building access through the use of proximity cards and readers and greatly
reduces the need for issuing and re-issuing keys as staff and vendor needs change. Additional readers were installed at City Hall and the Fire
Stations to allow access to Carver County Sheriffs staff utilizing their county issued badges. Combined with the network of surveillance
cameras, the system provides the means to secure and document security events or issues. Funding in 2021 is proposed for moving overhead and
man door controls at Public Works off the older Honeywell control panel, to the central DSX access control system. Currently the overhead
doors are open until the building alarm system is activated.
Budget Impact/Other
Maintenance for the security system will be funded out of the 101-1160-4300 services account.

Description
The SL-RAT (Sewer Line-Rapid Assessment Tool) is a piece of equipment that uses acoustic technology to assess for blockages in gravity
sanitary sewer pipes. This CIP item is for the purchase of this piece of equipment.
Project #EQ-176
Priority n/a
Justification
To mitigate the risk of sewer backups, the City inspects and/or cleans 20% of its sewer lines every year. Without a way to inspect the sewer
(other than televising), the utility staff traditionally has cleaned the pipes by jetting with a vactor whether it needs to be cleaned or not. Most
times, the pipes actually do not need cleaning, and therefore a great deal of time and equipment costs are wasted. The utility department has
rented the SL-RAT for the last few years and has found it to be an enormous savings in operational expenses. The SL-RAT can be operated by 1
staff person rather than the typical blind cleaning where we need 2 staff and the vactor. The rental price has been $4,700 and therefore the
payback is 5.5 years without considering the large amount of staff and equipment savings that will also be realized by not performing
unwarranted cleaning.

2021 - Replace existing counters in both the Senior Center kitchen and the Maple Room kitchen.
- Replace kitchen sink and faucet assembly in Maple Room kitchen.
- Add new backsplash tiles on the walls in both kitchens.
- Replace dishwasher in Maple Room.
- Extend by 4 feet the length of the counter along the east wall of the Senior Center kitchen. No additional cabinets are requested for this
portion of counter.
- Add additional narrow, lower cabinets with counter (1.5 x 5 ft) on the south wall of the Senior Center kitchen.
2023 - Replace flooring in Senior Center and Maple Room kitchens.
2024 - Add wall mounted displays and additional shelving resources in the Senior Center main room.
2025 - Replace carpeting where needed.
Project #MB-031
Priority n/a
Justification
The kitchen counters in both the Senior Center and the Maple Room need replacing due to wear, staining and failing caulk and backsplash
sections. The Maple Room backsplash is both chipped and pulling away from the wall, and the caulking is no longer sustainable. Adding a tile
backsplash above the sink walls will significantly reduce damage to drywall materials and provide better bacteria abatement for food prep and
clean-up. Additionally, the sink and faucet assemblies in the Maple Room kitchen need replacement due to wear, to allow for more functional
capabilities for Senior Center events and to update materials.
The Maple Room dishwasher is difficult to open and close; the dishwasher no longer cleans well; the tines, drawers and silverware baskets are
rusting/bending; it has aged out.
Extending and adding more counter space as well as south wall cabinetry will provide more counter space for prep, more storage space for senior
center supplies, an updated look and better overall usage of the allotted space.
The Maple Room and Senior Center kitchen flooring is aging out, showing wear, staining and cracking in places.

Justification
The current walls are original to the building. They are showing significant wear and have damage on each side. The floor seals are not working
correctly, which causes a great deal of noise coming from adjoining rooms. The internal wall mechanisms are plastic and a repair company is
called several times yearly to keep them functional. The walls are moved daily and are crucial to the Rec Center operations. Customers and
program participants have complained about the impact on meetings and activities.

Description
This annual project includes televising, repairs and rehabilitation of existing sanitary sewer. The program also detects and eliminates points of
entry of ground water and surface water into the City sanitary sewer system. Projects have been identified from the 2006 Inflow and Infiltration
Report and aspects of the program are included in annual street projects. The projects were reviewed by Metropolitan Council and approved in
lieu of surcharge fees.
Also included in this program is the private property mandatory inspection program approved in 2020. Approximately 730 homes will be
inspected over a 3-year period beginning in 2021.
Project #SS-012
Priority n/a
Justification
City staff has identified numerous older sewer lines that are in need of repair. The City of Chanhassen pays the Metropolitan Council for sewage
treatment. Those payments are based on the amount of flow generated by the City of Chanhassen. Surface water and ground water that makes
its way into the system either through breaks, displaced joints, manhole covers, or private connections to the system increase the amount charged
to the City for sewage disposal and increasing the load on the City's lift stations.
Budget Impact/Other
The efforts may decrease operational costs, MCES fees and emergency call outs. It is also the City's intent to use connection charges to help
fund for those costs.

Description
Reconstruction of sanitary sewer lift station accesses.
2022 - LS #14 is at the end of Pleasant View Way along the shore of Lotus Lake. The driveway is approximately 600 feet long.
2024 - LS#5 is at the end of Holly Lane along the shore of Christmas Lake. It serves residents of both Chanhassen and Shorewood. The
driveway is approximately 350 feet long.
Project #SS-027
Priority n/a
Justification
LS #14 - The existing driveway is grass and can only be accessed via lightweight equipment.
LS #5 - The existing driveway is gravel and requires repair (re-grading to fix ruts and washouts) after nearly every medium intensity or greater
rainfall. The repairs take city staff time away from their daily utility duties and the rutting of the driveway jeopardizes access to the lift station
in case of emergency pumping or power supply needs. The emergency needs are typically as a result of storms and high rainfall which is also
when the access could be compromised. An added benefit to the project will be to mitigate washouts of sediment into Christmas Lake and
therefore providing a water quality benefit to the lake.

Description
Annual project to rehabilitate and/or reconstruct streets in the City. The 5 year Capital Pavement Management Plan identifies the planned
streets for the next five years. The Plan gets updated every fall to review priorities and needs.
Project #ST-012
Priority n/a
Justification
The City uses a Pavement Management System to monitor the condition of the City streets. While proper preventative maintenance extends the
life of the street and is cost effective, a street will eventually deteriorate to a point that major maintenance is required. Rehabilitation projects
extend the life of the street. In cases when utilities or poor sub grade needs to be replaced or where streets have deteriorated to a point where
rehabilitation will no longer be practical, reconstruction of the street is necessary. A feasibility study is written to consider the merits of the
project, scope of work and assessments.
Budget Impact/Other
The construction allotment revenue the City receives from MSA has been cut by 15% for 2021. No advancements are being approved by MSA
until further notice.
The City has an Assessment Policy, last updated in 2014, that identifies what and how much of the project is assessed to benefiting properties.

Description
Various improvements bringing our public transportation network in compliance with ADA requirements. Improvements include reconstruction
pedestrian ramps, traffic signal controls, and sidewalk/trails. These improvements are for areas not already part of other CIP construction
projects, and do not include private infrastructure. The City completed an ADA Transition Plan in August 2018 that outlines our current
transportation system and the needed improvements. This program will also be used for filling the inspection gaps and for Transition Plan
updates. There are various outside agencies that have competitive Grant opportunities that can be pursued as a way to supplement the funding.
Project #ST-047
Priority n/a
Justification
The City is mandated to be in compliance with the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA), but there is no timeframe in which to complete all of
the needed improvements as long as the City has developed a Transition Plan. The Transition Plan indicated the total need of about $3.2M, and
that the City set a goal of 50% compliance in 20-years.

In partnership with RPBCWD, this project will install an underground water quality filter system in Rice Marsh Lake Park, just upstream of the
existing stormwater pond. RPBCWD is funding the design and construction, while the City will own and maintain the system.
Project #SWMP-053
Priority n/a
Justification
Neither Rice Marsh Lake nor Lake Riley meet MPCA standards for total phosphorous, chlorophyll-a or secchi disc depth readings. This
watershed contributes the largest total phosphorous load to Rice Marsh Lake at 232 lbs (or 32% of the entire watershed load to Rice Marsh
Lake) and is only one of two watershed with a load greater than 100 lbs/year. This project, once complete, could reduce the load to Rice Marsh
Lake by as much as 115 lbs/year (≈50%).

Description
The City installed a vast amount of trunk watermain starting in 1971 that serves as the main distribution network for potable water. The pipe
material is mainly Cast Iron Pipe (CIP) and Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) and has deteriorated over the last 50 years to the point that watermain breaks
are becoming more common. The soils in the City are not conducive to metallic pipe materials and our new standard is plastic pipe. This
program will be a strategic inspection and replacement every other year of the most vulnerable sections of large diameter trunk watermain.
Project #W-065
Priority n/a
Justification
We must have a reliable water distribution network for our residents and fire protection. Breaks in trunk water lines create outages for many
residents and jeopardizes public safety.
Budget Impact/Other
Proactive repair of trunk watermain will save on ongoing emergency repairs.

Description
Installation of a flow meter measuring the amount of raw water coming into the East Water Treatment Plant.
Project #W-066
Priority n/a
Justification
The City is required to annually submit a Water Conservation Report to the DNR which accounts for the volume of water pumped, treated and
distributed. Without an influent meter, certain assumptions need to be made as to why the volumes from other measuring devices do not
reconcile with each other. This data, once accurately measured, can be used to identify losses in the system which are of great importance to
identify and repair.
Budget Impact/Other
The West Water Treatment Plant was constructed with an influent meter, so the same issue does not exist there.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 392
INTRODUCTION
The goal of a rate study is to ensure the long-term financial health of the utility enterprise funds.
Toward this end, the City of Chanhassen conducts an annual update to its utility rate study. This rate
study provides a recommendation for the 2021 user rates and development fees of the water, sanitary
sewer, and storm water utilities. The City has two types of development fees: the first are water and
sewer hook-up fees that are paid based on a properties SAC units as determined by the Metropolitan
Council, and a storm water area charge that is paid based on net developable acreage.
This year’s rate study reviews each utility fund to ensure that the recommended rates and fees will be
adequate to support all operations and capital costs in 2021 and into the future. This report details the
findings and the recommendations for each utility, provides an estimated 2021 utility bill for a sample
homeowner and a business, and reviews development fees.
To date, the utility funds have been well managed and have adequate cash reserves. However, each
utility is facing unique challenges that are now putting upward pressure on rates.
Water Fund – several wet years have depressed water revenues. The City’s existing rate structure
promotes water conservation and thus generates higher fees for irrigation than indoor water use.
Recent wet years with less irrigation disproportionately affect revenue under the current rate structure.
Sewer Fund – the single biggest expense in the sewer fund is the Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services (MCES) disposal fees. Those fees will increase 18.9% between 2020 and 2021 putting
financial pressure on the utility’s revenues to match the increased expense.
Storm Water Fund – The City is committed to adequately maintaining its stormwater ponds and other
related infrastructure and is planning to add $350,000 per year to its capital expenditures beginning in
2021.
To address these financial challenges, Ehlers provides the following recommendations for annual
increases to utility rates and development fees.

volatility due to levels of precipitation.
RATE SETTING POLICIES
The City of Chanhassen has used the following policies to guide its rate setting practices:
1. The City intends for growth to pay for its supporting infrastructure through the collection
of hook -up fees. We have quantified the capital costs associated with growth, including
50% of the debt service for the newest water treatment plant, and established hook-up
fees that cover those costs.
2. The City will maintain reserves in its utility funds in an amount equal to 50% of annual
operating expenses plus 10% of accumulated depreciation .
METHODOLOGY AND ASSUMPTIONS
As part of this year’s study, Ehlers prepared a 10 -year cash flow projection for the water , sewer
and storm water utility funds through the year 20 30. This projection examines anticipated cash
flows in future years and estimate s the user rate increases necessary to meet all financial
obligations of the utility funds while maintaining adequate cash reserves .
The cash flow analysis method determines future revenue requirements by incorporating
operating and maintenance expenses, transfer payments, current and future debt service and
anticipated future capital projects. We also include future growth estimates in the model. The
primary financial inputs in the development of the analysis were the C ity’s audited financial
statements, budget documents, annual water billing data for 2016, and the City’s latest Capital
Improvement Plan. The City elected to use billing data from 2016 because water consumption
that year was relatively moderate and consist ent with the trend for water use shown in Figure 3.
The cashflow projections include the following assumptions:
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 394
• 3-4% annual inflation on operating costs.
• 4% annual inflation on capital expenses.
• 5% annual inflation on MCES disposal charges.
• Growth as 80 new residential units for 2020, 130 new residential units per year for 2021-2024,
then 120 new residential units per year thereafter and 25 new commercial SAC units per year
for 2021-2030.
• Water use for existing residential customers and irrigation meters is 96.5% of 2016 water
consumption. Water use for multifamily and commercial customers is at 98.5% of 2016
consumption. Usage was reduced slightly from 2016 levels to reflect the fact that across the
metro area water consumption has been declining.
• For future growth users, we assumed water use equal to 50 gallons per person per day and 2
persons per new household. Engineers typically estimate 72 gallons per person per day for
water demand and we conservatively assumed less than that so as not to overestimate
revenues. We did not assume any future water use from new commercial development.
Funding capital improvements for a growing community as well as replacing aging utility
infrastructure drive the ne ed for adequate utility revenue. City staff developed a 10 -year Capital
Improvement Plan for each utility (See Appendix A). All capital costs listed in Appendix A are in
today’s dollars. The costs were then inflated 4% annually as shown at the bottom of the table. The
capital costs in the cashflow projections in Appendix B use the inflated costs.
WATER FUND
The rate study proposes a 5% annual water revenue increase in 2021 and continuing annually
thereafter. The recommended revenue increase is consistent with last year’s rate study. However, this
study is also recommending changes to the rate structure in 2021 intended to reduce revenue
volatility.
The 5% revenue increase in 2021 and beyond will help pay for the City’s projected investment in
expanding and improving the water system as well as water projects completed as part of the Street
Improvement Program. Between 2021 and 2030, the City plans to spend $20.7 million on capital
improvements (in inflated dollars) from the water utility fund (see Appendix A). Of that amount, the
rate study anticipates the need to finance $13.7 million. The chart below outlines some of the major
water system capital projects in the City’s water capital improvement plan.

Capital and annual debt expenditures comprise 70% of the total cash expenditures in the Water Fund
in 2021 as shown in Figure 3. These are fixed costs, regardless of annual fluctuations in consumption,
and therefore the revenue stream needs to be reliable from year to year.
Figure 1. 2021 Water Expenditures (Excluding Depreciation)
As rainfall has increased (see Figure 1), the City has been pumping less water (see Figure 2) and
water revenues have not experienced the slow but steady increase that prior rate studies had
projected. For example, in 2019 revenues actually declined $177,598 from the prior year despite 5%
rate increases and new development connecting to the system. In fact, the last two rainy summers
have resulted in water revenue shortfalls of over $500,000 from past projections.

The goals for this year’s rate study were to increase water revenues by 5% in 2021 to keep pace with
the needs of the Water Fund and to derive more revenue from indoor water use to become less
dependent on irrigation consumption. To achieve these goals, we are recommending changes to the
water rate structure: primarily expanding the base usage tier and proposing more consistent
residential tier breaks .
The current rate structure is shown in Table 2 and the proposed changes are shown in Table 3.

by helping to reduce their utility bill. The financial impact of the proposed changes on sample
residential utility customers is shown below in Table 4.
Table 4. Impact on Quarterly Residential Water Bills.
Overall, the proposed changes to the tier structure are still intended to increase revenues 5% from
2020 to 2021. The rate study is projecting 5% increases to the proposed 2021 rates in 2022 and
beyond.
SEWER FUND
The driving factors in setting future sewer rates are anticipated MCES disposal charge increases and
the City’s planned capital costs. The MCES disposal charge represents 50% of the operating
expenses within the Sewer Fund as shown in Figure 4. The city has been informed that there will be a
18.9% increase for 2021. This follows a 9.7% increase from 2019 to 2020.

Between 2021 and 2030, the City plans to spend $12.6 million on capital improvements (in inflated
dollars) from the sewer utility fund, a 12% increase over the prior year’s rate study. Of that amount, the
rate study anticipates the need to finance $8.35 million. The chart below outlines some of the major
water system capital projects in the City’s sewer capital improvement plan.
Table 6. Sewer Utility Major Capital Improvements
A detailed list of the capital improvements is in Appendix A.
If actual capital costs or MCES disposal charges increase further in the future, higher annual rate
increases will be required. Many of these potential future costs (i.e. rising construction costs and
MCES disposal charges) are outside of the City’s immediate control.
The proposed sewer rates are shown in Table 7 below. The recommended sewer rate increase of
5.35% in 2021 is higher than the previous rate studies’ 5% projected increase and reflects the
increases in the MCES disposal charges plus planned capital costs.

STORM WATER FUND
Managing storm water is a significant and increasingly complex mandate imposed on cities by the
state. Meeting new storm water requirements is expensive and is putting pressure on all cities to
increase storm water rates. In addition, the City’s storm water system of pipes and ponds is aging and
requires additional maintenance as reflected in two changes to the Storm Water Fund this year. First,
the 2021 budget includes a $100,000 increase in operating costs. Second, the City has determined it
needs to increase its pond maintenance by $3.5 million over the next ten years. Therefore, the storm
water capital improvement plan in Appendix A includes $350,000 per year for additional storm water
maintenance beginning in 2021. Between 2021 and 2030, the City plans to spend $17.7 million on
capital improvements (in inflated dollars) from the storm water utility fund. Of that amount, the rate
study anticipates the need to finance $9.8 million. The major projects within the Storm Water fund are
outlined in the following table.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 401
In order to fund the additional maintenance and capital expense, the City will need to generate more
storm water revenue. We propose a 36% increase in 2021 followed by more moderate 6% annual
increases thereafter. This percentage increase translates into the rates shown in Table 9 below.
Table 9. Proposed Storm Water Rates
CASH RESERVES
Cash balances in the utility funds serve several purposes. Adequate cash balances provide the needed
cashflow for the city during potential seasonal mismatches between revenues and expenses. In addition,
the City needs to have cash on hand as of December 31 each year to make its February bond payments.
Appendix B is the 10-year cash flow analyses for the City’s utility funds. The cash flow analysis for each
fund calculates the user rate revenue increases necessary to meet the estimated annual expenses of
the utility and maintain a minimum recommended reserve level (“Target Working Capital”).
The following graphs show the projected year end cash balance in each utility fund as compared to the
Target Working Capital. For the water and sewer funds, the Target Working Capital equals 50% of
annual operating expenses (excluding depreciation) plus 10% accumulated depreciation.
The following graphs show that the City is projected to meet its goals for cash reserves for each utility.

more routine capital expenditures within the fund, beginning in 2022 we are recommending that the
formula for Target Working Capital switch to equal 50% of operating plus the next year’s debt service.
This explains the 2022 dip in Target Working Capital in the graph in Figure 6.
COMMUNITY COMPARISON
Each community has different demands on its utility systems that make it unique – different growth
patterns, groundwater sources, soil conditions, usage patterns and infrastructure. Therefore, one
should set rates based on documented need, as the City of Chanhassen does through its annual rate
study. Nevertheless, it is informative to know how the City’s rates and charges compare to other
developing communities with similar characteristics – namely the KFS communities Chanhassen has
previously identified as well as its neighbors. Figure 7 shows a comparison of Chanhassen’s
proposed 2021 charges to a 2020 bill of neighboring communities for an example residential customer
who uses 26,000 gallons of water and sewer. Figure 8 shows the same for each KFS city.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: SAMPLE BILLS
The chart below shows sample bills for a residential and commercial customer throughout the period of
the analysis.
Table 10. Sample Quarterly Utility Bill for a Residential and Commercial Customer
DEVELOPMENT FEES
The pace of City growth has a great impact on the utility fees collected, the hook-up revenues, and
storm water area charges. The rate study assumes there will be 80 new residential units constructed
for 2020, 130 new units annually from 2021 through 2024, and 120 units per year thereafter. In
addition to the residential growth, 25 SAC units per year are assumed to come from new commercial
development and irrigation meters. These assumptions align with City staff expectations for the
period.
The rate study recommends increases for hook-up fees to balance the need to keep development fees
competitive in the marketplace while also covering the City’s growth-related infrastructure costs.

The city also applies a Storm Water Area Charge when land is platted to pay for off-site storm water
improvements. Most developments receive a credit for a portion of this charge when completing
identified on-site improvements that reduce water run-off and improve water quality. Staff estimates
the average credit is about 50%. The fees, before the credit, are listed in the chart below and are
proposed to increase 2% annually.

The City requested Ehlers to provide a community comparison of hook-up fees and area charges for
three sample developments:
1. A single-family home located on 1/3 net developable acre;
2. A 100-unit multifamily development on 4 net developable acres; and
3. A 130,000 square foot industrial development with 34 SAC units on 8 net developable acres.

SUMMARY
The utility funds have been well managed and have adequate cash reserves. However, each utility is
facing unique challenges putting upward pressure on rates. To address these challenges, Ehlers
makes the following recommendations for annual increases to utility rates and development fees.

In addition, we are recommending changes to the water rate structure starting in 2021 to stabilized
revenue during years of high precipitation. While the percentage rate increase will vary from one
customer to the next depending on individual consumption, the proposed 2021 rates as a whole are
designed to generate 5% more revenue than the prior year. The proposed rate increases
accommodate the City’s commitment to funding street reconstruction projects, expand and maintain
the systems, and maintain adequate cash reserves.

City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 424
CITY OF CHANHASSEN, MN
FINANCIAL POLICIES
FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this policy is to establish strategic financial sustainability and resiliency principles for the
City of Chanhassen, which may be used when developing the annual budget, long-term financial plans,
and when making critical financial, economic development and community development decisions.
DEFINITION:
Financial sustainability is defined as the process that establishes a long-term vision, builds trust and
cooperation through planning and transparency, sets rules, is fair, and establishes outcomes to monitor
Chanhassen’s progress in achieving the principles. It considers the risks, obligations and opportunities of
Council’s critical decisions on the community, including the people, the environment and financial
position of the City.
Financial resiliency is defined as the ability to maintain ongoing financial health when facing serious
external challenges, including but not limited to economic adjustments, natural disasters and important
policy changes by other levels of government.
OBJECTIVES:
Financial sustainability is achieved when service and infrastructure levels and standards are delivered
according to a Council adopted Long-Term Financial Plan without the need to significantly increase user
rates or taxes or significantly reduce services or to issue debt in excess of the City’s Debt Policy.
Long-term financial sustainability is important if the Council is to deliver the services and programs
expected by the community. It is also important that community assets are maintained so that an
unfunded liability does not build up and become a burden for future taxpayers and/or ratepayers.
Responsible long-term financial sustainability ensures:
• Consistent delivery of essential community services and the efficient development
of infrastructure
• Public resources and costs distributed fairly between current and future ratepayers and
taxpayers,
• A balanced budget with respect for limited resources
• Predictability and stability provided by a comprehensive long-term financial plan and annual
budget
• Funding for the maintenance and replacement of assets
• A strong level of credit quality in compliance with the Debt Policy
• Sufficient reserves are available to address emergencies (i.e. natural disasters, etc.)
City of Chanhassen 2021 Adopted Budget 425
IMPLEMENTATION:
This City has a number of financial operating practices which have guided financial and operational
decision-making. This document seeks to document those operating standards and policies currently
in place into a complete and concise set of financial policies to be used to guide decision-making by
management and Council. Staff will suggest areas to expand and update the policies to include
concepts of financial sustainability and resiliency as overall goals for Council’s consideration during the
2022 budget preparation. The following policies will be addressed within this document. These policies
are designed to be high-level and concise guidance. Some areas will refer to more detailed operating
policies maintained separately.
1. Accounting, Auditing and Financial Reporting
2. Budgetary Control
3. Revenue Management
4. Fund balance reserves
5. Cash and Investments
6. Capital Assets
7. Debt Management and continuing disclosure procedures
8. Risk Management
9. Procurement and Accounts Payable
10. Public Purpose Expenditures
11. Information Security
The City will use these policies in coordination with the development of the City’s strategic plan and
with the other City plans. Staff will review for consistency with the other City plans as they are updated.
• Comprehensive Land Use Plan
• Infrastructure Plans (Water, Sanitary Sewer, Surface water, Natural Resources, Parks, etc)
• Economic Development Plan
Council will annually review and affirm the financial sustainability principles to be included in the annual
budget ensuring strategic financial sustainability, resiliency and long-term financial viability for the City
of Chanhassen.

Council will discuss and take affirmative action to note the exception or deviation and identify a corrective
action plan within an agreed upon period of time.
