The City Council has directed city departments (Public Works and Police) to increase service
and efficiency in clearing the streets of Saint Paul following heauy snowfalls. Impounding
vehicles is a major factor in this task. To increase efficiency in this area required incre
impounding capacity. The main police impounding facility is too small. Therefore, an auxil
facility is required for the overflow from snow emergencies. An initial budget was submitte
and approved by Council this fall. Since that time,.additional/unforseen, but necessary,
expenses have arisen.
The auxiliary Impound Lot for snow emergencies must operate as an independent unit. A
of these funds will allow for the Police Department to provide efficient and effective
service to the citizens of Saint Paul, both in impounding vehicles towed for snow
emergencies and providing for their release to owners.

Now, therefore, be it RESOLVID , that the Council approves the Snow Operations Pian for
1997-1998; and
Be it FITRT'FTER RESOLVID , that the Council approves these changes to the 1997 budget.
Establish a Winter Street Maintenance Reserve
WHEEREAS, the Administration and the Department of Public Works in the Snow Operations
PIan for 1997 - 1998 recommend that the snowfall threshold amount necessary for declaration
of a snow emergency be lowered from four (4) inches to three (3) inches; and
WHEREAB, this snow emergency threshold change will necessitate an increase in the
number of budgeted snow emergencies each year on average from four (4) to six (6); and
F�'I3ERF,A,S, the Street Repair and Cleaning �'und of the Department of Public Works
annually budgets for an average of four (4) snow emergencies of four (4) inches or more in the
annnal operatin� budget; and
WIiEREAS, reserves must be maintained for those winter seasons with above average
snowfalls and snow emergency requiremenis; and
WFIEREAS, the Street Regair and Cleaning Fund of the Department of Public Works strives
to maintain an adequate reserve in fund balance for an additional four (4) snow emeFgencies
of four (a) inches or more over and above the four (4) snow emergencies in the annual
operating budget; and
��HERE.AS, this snow emergency threshold cnange will necessitate a corresponding
increase in the reserved snow emergencies held in fund balance to the equivalent of six (6)
snow "emergencies; and _
WI3ER.E�'1S, the City of Saint Paul incurred significantly higher snow and ice control,
plo�ving anci removal costs in i996 due to seven (7) snow emergencies ciuring the budget year;
and
�VE�REAS, the City Council amended the 1996 budget of the Street Reoair and Cleaning
Fund on L7ecember 26, 1996 by adopting Council File 96-1585, which balanced these increased
expenditures with �1,152,828 of Street Repair and Cleaning Fund fund balance which was

available for above average snow and ice control; and
�VT�ER.�AS, the Department oi Public Works' cost per snow emergency experience was
approximately �300,000 per event in 1996; and
WIiEREA.S, this use of Street Repair and Cleaning Fund fund balance for 1996 winter snow
and ice control has depleted the winter reserve balance to $433,592, which is approximately
one and one-half (1-1/2) snow emergencies; and
WI�R.EP.S, this reserve balance must be restored to an appropriate level to reduce reliance
on the General Fund for emergency support; and
Z�'HER.EAS, City Councii Bud�et Goais and Policies for the General Fund Special Funds and
Debt Service Funds adopted on Council File 90-1428, established guidelines for optimum
reserves in the form of fund balances in sections B-31 and B-32; and
WHEREAS, these Bud�et Goals and Policies direct the return of unspent operating transfers
from the General Fund regardless of the prudent and practical reserve amount; and
WHERFA.S, the ma,}ority of winter street maintenanee activities aze funded by an operating
transfer from the General Fund; and
WE�REAS, annual-budget to-actual savings is a prudent, incremental and appropriate
method of restoring this *eserve.
Now, therefore_be it RESOLVII�, that the Street Repair and Cleaning Fund shall maintain
Reserved Fund Balance for winter street maintenance; and
Be it F[7RTF�RR.ESOLVED, that the recommended value of the reserve is �1,800,000 for 1997,
which is equal to six (6) snow emergencies; and
Be it F'UR�T�R R.ESOLVED, that this reserve shall be recalculated annually to maintain
parity with general price fluctuations and recent experience; and .
Be it FURTE�. R,ESOLVED, that the Street Repair and Cleaning Fund sha11 only return
unspeni General Fund Winter Street Maintenance transfers which cause the Reserve for
�TtTinter Si:eet Maintenance to be larger than the recaiculated reserve amount.
Salt Storage and Snow Removal Dumpin� 2�Teeds
WHEREEI,S , Present road salt storage facilities are too small for current Winter Street
Maintenance needs; and
WHERF�LS , A larger road salt storage building will allow falI delivery of sait; and

The City Council has directed city departments (Public Works and Police) to increase service
and efficiency in clearing the streets of Saint Paul following heauy snowfalls. Impounding
vehicles is a major factor in this task. To increase efficiency in this area required incre
impounding capacity. The main police impounding facility is too small. Therefore, an auxil
facility is required for the overflow from snow emergencies. An initial budget was submitte
and approved by Council this fall. Since that time,.additional/unforseen, but necessary,
expenses have arisen.
The auxiliary Impound Lot for snow emergencies must operate as an independent unit. A
of these funds will allow for the Police Department to provide efficient and effective
service to the citizens of Saint Paul, both in impounding vehicles towed for snow
emergencies and providing for their release to owners.

Now, therefore, be it RESOLVID , that the Council approves the Snow Operations Pian for
1997-1998; and
Be it FITRT'FTER RESOLVID , that the Council approves these changes to the 1997 budget.
Establish a Winter Street Maintenance Reserve
WHEEREAS, the Administration and the Department of Public Works in the Snow Operations
PIan for 1997 - 1998 recommend that the snowfall threshold amount necessary for declaration
of a snow emergency be lowered from four (4) inches to three (3) inches; and
WHEREAB, this snow emergency threshold change will necessitate an increase in the
number of budgeted snow emergencies each year on average from four (4) to six (6); and
F�'I3ERF,A,S, the Street Repair and Cleaning �'und of the Department of Public Works
annually budgets for an average of four (4) snow emergencies of four (4) inches or more in the
annnal operatin� budget; and
WIiEREAS, reserves must be maintained for those winter seasons with above average
snowfalls and snow emergency requiremenis; and
WFIEREAS, the Street Regair and Cleaning Fund of the Department of Public Works strives
to maintain an adequate reserve in fund balance for an additional four (4) snow emeFgencies
of four (a) inches or more over and above the four (4) snow emergencies in the annual
operating budget; and
��HERE.AS, this snow emergency threshold cnange will necessitate a corresponding
increase in the reserved snow emergencies held in fund balance to the equivalent of six (6)
snow "emergencies; and _
WI3ER.E�'1S, the City of Saint Paul incurred significantly higher snow and ice control,
plo�ving anci removal costs in i996 due to seven (7) snow emergencies ciuring the budget year;
and
�VE�REAS, the City Council amended the 1996 budget of the Street Reoair and Cleaning
Fund on L7ecember 26, 1996 by adopting Council File 96-1585, which balanced these increased
expenditures with �1,152,828 of Street Repair and Cleaning Fund fund balance which was

available for above average snow and ice control; and
�VT�ER.�AS, the Department oi Public Works' cost per snow emergency experience was
approximately �300,000 per event in 1996; and
WIiEREA.S, this use of Street Repair and Cleaning Fund fund balance for 1996 winter snow
and ice control has depleted the winter reserve balance to $433,592, which is approximately
one and one-half (1-1/2) snow emergencies; and
WI�R.EP.S, this reserve balance must be restored to an appropriate level to reduce reliance
on the General Fund for emergency support; and
Z�'HER.EAS, City Councii Bud�et Goais and Policies for the General Fund Special Funds and
Debt Service Funds adopted on Council File 90-1428, established guidelines for optimum
reserves in the form of fund balances in sections B-31 and B-32; and
WHEREAS, these Bud�et Goals and Policies direct the return of unspent operating transfers
from the General Fund regardless of the prudent and practical reserve amount; and
WHERFA.S, the ma,}ority of winter street maintenanee activities aze funded by an operating
transfer from the General Fund; and
WE�REAS, annual-budget to-actual savings is a prudent, incremental and appropriate
method of restoring this *eserve.
Now, therefore_be it RESOLVII�, that the Street Repair and Cleaning Fund shall maintain
Reserved Fund Balance for winter street maintenance; and
Be it F[7RTF�RR.ESOLVED, that the recommended value of the reserve is �1,800,000 for 1997,
which is equal to six (6) snow emergencies; and
Be it F'UR�T�R R.ESOLVED, that this reserve shall be recalculated annually to maintain
parity with general price fluctuations and recent experience; and .
Be it FURTE�. R,ESOLVED, that the Street Repair and Cleaning Fund sha11 only return
unspeni General Fund Winter Street Maintenance transfers which cause the Reserve for
�TtTinter Si:eet Maintenance to be larger than the recaiculated reserve amount.
Salt Storage and Snow Removal Dumpin� 2�Teeds
WHEREEI,S , Present road salt storage facilities are too small for current Winter Street
Maintenance needs; and
WHERF�LS , A larger road salt storage building will allow falI delivery of sait; and

facility is required for the overflow from snow emergencies. An initial budget was submitte
and approved by Council this fall. Since that time,.additional/unforseen, but necessary,
expenses have arisen.
The auxiliary Impound Lot for snow emergencies must operate as an independent unit. A
of these funds will allow for the Police Department to provide efficient and effective
service to the citizens of Saint Paul, both in impounding vehicles towed for snow
emergencies and providing for their release to owners.

Now, therefore, be it RESOLVID , that the Council approves the Snow Operations Pian for
1997-1998; and
Be it FITRT'FTER RESOLVID , that the Council approves these changes to the 1997 budget.
Establish a Winter Street Maintenance Reserve
WHEEREAS, the Administration and the Department of Public Works in the Snow Operations
PIan for 1997 - 1998 recommend that the snowfall threshold amount necessary for declaration
of a snow emergency be lowered from four (4) inches to three (3) inches; and
WHEREAB, this snow emergency threshold change will necessitate an increase in the
number of budgeted snow emergencies each year on average from four (4) to six (6); and
F�'I3ERF,A,S, the Street Repair and Cleaning �'und of the Department of Public Works
annually budgets for an average of four (4) snow emergencies of four (4) inches or more in the
annnal operatin� budget; and
WIiEREAS, reserves must be maintained for those winter seasons with above average
snowfalls and snow emergency requiremenis; and
WFIEREAS, the Street Regair and Cleaning Fund of the Department of Public Works strives
to maintain an adequate reserve in fund balance for an additional four (4) snow emeFgencies
of four (a) inches or more over and above the four (4) snow emergencies in the annual
operating budget; and
��HERE.AS, this snow emergency threshold cnange will necessitate a corresponding
increase in the reserved snow emergencies held in fund balance to the equivalent of six (6)
snow "emergencies; and _
WI3ER.E�'1S, the City of Saint Paul incurred significantly higher snow and ice control,
plo�ving anci removal costs in i996 due to seven (7) snow emergencies ciuring the budget year;
and
�VE�REAS, the City Council amended the 1996 budget of the Street Reoair and Cleaning
Fund on L7ecember 26, 1996 by adopting Council File 96-1585, which balanced these increased
expenditures with �1,152,828 of Street Repair and Cleaning Fund fund balance which was

available for above average snow and ice control; and
�VT�ER.�AS, the Department oi Public Works' cost per snow emergency experience was
approximately �300,000 per event in 1996; and
WIiEREA.S, this use of Street Repair and Cleaning Fund fund balance for 1996 winter snow
and ice control has depleted the winter reserve balance to $433,592, which is approximately
one and one-half (1-1/2) snow emergencies; and
WI�R.EP.S, this reserve balance must be restored to an appropriate level to reduce reliance
on the General Fund for emergency support; and
Z�'HER.EAS, City Councii Bud�et Goais and Policies for the General Fund Special Funds and
Debt Service Funds adopted on Council File 90-1428, established guidelines for optimum
reserves in the form of fund balances in sections B-31 and B-32; and
WHEREAS, these Bud�et Goals and Policies direct the return of unspent operating transfers
from the General Fund regardless of the prudent and practical reserve amount; and
WHERFA.S, the ma,}ority of winter street maintenanee activities aze funded by an operating
transfer from the General Fund; and
WE�REAS, annual-budget to-actual savings is a prudent, incremental and appropriate
method of restoring this *eserve.
Now, therefore_be it RESOLVII�, that the Street Repair and Cleaning Fund shall maintain
Reserved Fund Balance for winter street maintenance; and
Be it F[7RTF�RR.ESOLVED, that the recommended value of the reserve is �1,800,000 for 1997,
which is equal to six (6) snow emergencies; and
Be it F'UR�T�R R.ESOLVED, that this reserve shall be recalculated annually to maintain
parity with general price fluctuations and recent experience; and .
Be it FURTE�. R,ESOLVED, that the Street Repair and Cleaning Fund sha11 only return
unspeni General Fund Winter Street Maintenance transfers which cause the Reserve for
�TtTinter Si:eet Maintenance to be larger than the recaiculated reserve amount.
Salt Storage and Snow Removal Dumpin� 2�Teeds
WHEREEI,S , Present road salt storage facilities are too small for current Winter Street
Maintenance needs; and
