We have not examined the projection and do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the accompanying schedules or assumptions. Furthermore, there will usually be differences between the forecasted and actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected and those differences may be material. We have no responsibility to update this report for events and circumstances occurring after the date of this report. The City’s assumptions made are as follows: Assumptions - Forecasting • The recommended scenario for all funds (Water and Sewer) is arrived at to ensure the City meets projected targeted cash reserves and a positive cashflow at the end of the plan in year 2030. It should be noted that with the presented recommendations both funds achieve positive cashflow and are meeting the target by 2030. • Target cash reserve is calculated and presented as 100% of the following years’ debt payments and 50% of projected operating expenses. • The prior three years actual ledger balances were used for projecting 2025 activity and beyond. For cashflow purposes, some modifications were made for debt requirements, capital assets and depreciation, and grant receipts reviewed with management. o 2025 activity is also projected using the prior three years actual ledger balances while also comparing to the unaudited current activity known from the general ledger so far. Balances are compared and reviewed for relative accuracy without knowing actuals for accrual and year-end adjustments. • Operating expenses as well as certain operating revenues (unrelated to customer billings) will increase by a 3.0 percent inflation. Salary and benefit expenditures will also increase at 3.0 percent per year. No material changes to employee wage allocations or new enterprise fund positions have been incorporated. • Met Council charges or expenses are forecasted to remain consistent due to management estimates for current and future Sewer usage. • Interest earned on cash held in the City’s name is assumed to earn interest at a rate of 3.0 percent. 4 Assumptions – Forecasting (Continued) • Capital improvements/infrastructure, equipment, and other capital maintenance items have been identified in the City’s capital plan and are identified to be accounted for in the related enterprise fund. All purchases are assumed to be purchased with debt proceeds due to the low cash reserves on hand. o The City does have a plan for bonding for some larger project costs during the year 2026. The bonds are expected to pay for the Water and Sewer portion of Sunset Drive and Water Tower Maintenance, specifically. o Debt is assumed to be issued in the amount of $2,000,000 for Water and $1,000,000 for Sewer in 2026. The bonds are assumed to be issued for 20 years at a 4.0% interest rate. o In the current assumptions there are no capital assets expected in 2025. • The assumptions include no new connection fees and similarly, no new residents to be billed in the future. • The average usage for residential customers is calculated at approximately 9,000 gallons/quarter. Charts and graphs were prepared using the calculated average and presented at that amount. Sample bills for select apartment/multi-family and commercial customers are presented in later graphics. • The City rate structure tiers were reviewed and recommended to remain consistent to ensure average users are at or near the first billing tier. Assumptions - Other • The City’s has significant infrastructure projects that are expected to take place in the near future. More information about the project is below. A complete capital plan is presented in a later schedule. o Reconstruction of Sunset Drive is a project expected in 2026 and will require significant capital expenses for both the Water and Sewer funds. The City is also planning for $1,000,000 of approximate expenses in the Water fund for Water Tower Maintenance. o Future payment schedules for the new bonds noted above were prepared with the assumption of 20-year financing, at 4.0%. This estimate is significant for the resources needed in future years and any changes to the financing year, amount, and/or interest rate could have a significant impact on future projections. Water Fund • The recommended scenario has no projected change to the Water rate structure, but increases are recommended for future rates. The current and future recommended rates are outlined below. Current Rates 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Proposed Change in Rates - Blended 8%8%8%8%8% Quarterly bill based on 9,000 gallons 63.27$ 68.22$ 73.60$ 79.50$ 85.92$ 92.87$ Quarterly $ increase for a 9,000 gallon user 4.95$ 5.38$ 5.90$ 6.42$ 6.95$ Annual $ increase for an average 9,000 gallon user 19.80$ 21.52$ 23.60$ 25.68$ 27.80$ Residential/Commercial Base fee 27.00 28.35 29.77 31.26 32.82 34.46 Per 1,000 gallons - 0 to 8,999 4.03 4.43 4.87 5.36 5.90 6.49 Per 1,000 - 9,000 to 17,999 gallons 6.05 6.66 7.33 8.06 8.87 9.76 Per 1,000 - 18,000+ gallons 8.06 8.87 9.76 10.74 11.81 12.99 5 Water Fund (Continued) • The recommended scenario presented reviews the overall financial impact of the change in tiers and includes the following rate increase recommendations: ▪ 10% increase to usage rates and 5% increase to the base fee each year throughout the life of the plan (2026 – 2030). The recommended increase is made to ensure the City meets projected targeted cash reserves and a positive cashflow at the end of the plan in year 2030. Sewer Fund • The recommended scenario has no projected change to the Sewer rate structure but increases are recommended for future rates. The current and future recommended rates are outlined below. Current Rates 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Proposed Change in Rates - Blended 9%9%9%9%9% Quarterly bill based on 9,000 gallons 129.51$ 141.12$ 153.88$ 167.79$ 183.03$ 199.70$ Quarterly $ increase for a 9,000 gallon user 11.61$ 12.76$ 13.91$ 15.24$ 16.67$ Annual $ increase for an average 9,000 gallon user 46.44$ 51.04$ 55.64$ 60.96$ 66.68$ Residential/Commercial Base fee 27.00 28.35 29.77 31.26 32.82 34.46 Per 1,000 gallons 5.69 6.26 6.89 7.58 8.34 9.17 Met Council Usage/1,000 gallons 5.70 6.27 6.90 7.59 8.35 9.19 • The recommended scenario presented reviews the overall financial impact of the change in tiers and includes the following rate increase recommendations: ▪ 10% increase to the usage fees for both per gallon and Met Council and a 5% increase to the base fee each year throughout life of the plan (2026 – 2030). The recommended increase is made to ensure the City meets projected targeted cash reserves and a positive cashflow at the end of the plan in year 2030. Things to Consider with Future Action • The recommended scenario ensures the City is working towards the cash reserves and cashflows absent any new debt and capital assets based on the assumptions. The recommended increases below are aimed towards keeping up with inflation and the additional debt service requirements for the completed infrastructure projects. Other scenarios are presented for informational use and comparison. • Actual project costs should be reviewed and monitored for any changes. Any significant change in expenditure or debt projections could have an impact on recommended rates. • Currently all the rate structure and changes are consistent for both residential and commercial users and we recommend management continue to review if different structures are necessary for commercial or other non- residential users.

C O M City of Spring Park Memorandum To: Mike Anderson, City Administrator Spring Park City Council From: Lori Johnson, City Planner Date: October 15, 2025 Regarding: Subdivision Ordinance—Removal of Old Ordinance Section As you are aware, the City now has a new subdivision ordinance in place and the very small ordinance that lives in the zoning ordinance (Article III—Subdivision/Platting) is no longer necessary. In order to ensure clarity with the new ordinance in place, the City should remove Article III of the existing zoning ordinance. Also in Article III are the as-built requirements added to the ordinance in 2024. It is suggested that these requirements be added to the end of Article II—General Provisions. A public hearing is required for this amendment because the city’s zoning ordinance requires one prior to any amendment. The Planning Commission held the public hearing on October 2, 2025 and no one was present from the public. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the amendment.
