Taylor Bruhschwein discussed his support of the Wooddale Avenue bike lanes, showed what a
protected bike lane looks like, and noted the benefits of them.

believes that Edina is not on track to implement the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan.
Greta Kamps expressed her support for a protected bike lane on Wooddale Avenue and noted
that she thinks it is very important to do things the right way when it comes to this, to enhance
safety.
Jay Felds stated that trying to own a car is becoming more expensive, while bikes are cheaper, and
he thinks that bike lanes on Wooddale Avenue will provide more access in the City.
Will Maddrey stated that Wooddale Avenue deserves a protected bike lane and noted that he
prefers a two-way bike lane that replaces car parking.
Myriam Trepanier expressed concerns regarding the recent voting records of councilmembers and
requested that the councilmembers remain steadfast in their positions and adhere to the platforms
they were elected to.

Matthew Perry noted that over the last several months, employees from Edina Family Physicians
Clinic have been using Pinewood Trail as their parking lot and have been disrupting the normal,
calm, dead-end street. Mr. Perry asked that the Council determine a short-term and long-term fix
to address the parking issues at the clinic.
David Frenkel noted that there should be conscience decision whether the new bike lanes will have
snow removal in the winter. Mr. Frenkel stated that the heavy equipment working in the Fred
Richards Park is driving over the 9 Mile Creek trail, and there has been some damage. Mr. Frenkel
also noted that there are a lot of dead trees in Edina parks, and they need to be cleaned out before
people get hurt.
Darrell Krieger stated that 247 people participated in the feedback on Better Together regarding
the bike lanes on Wooddale Avenue, and 180 people were opposed to eliminating parking on
Wooddale Avenue, 54 people were in favor, and only 1 of the people in favor actually lived on
Wooddale Avenue. Mr. Krieger noted that having a dedicated bike lane will not make people feel
safer about riding on a street with cars.
Ann Kasid recommended a no vote on the upcoming vote on the Wooddale Avenue bike lanes
project and discussed many reasons why.
Brian Mismash noted that he opposes eliminating parking on Wooddale Avenue for both safety and
equity reasons.
Rand Howe noted that he supports efforts to expand bike infrastructure and expressed concern
that the current proposal and a small group of residents would absorb a significant burden without
clear evidence that eliminating parking is necessary to achieve the City’s safety goals.

## Item Number: 6.4 Department: Human Resources
## Item Activity: Action Prepared By: Jessica Nikunen, Human Resources Director
## Item Title: Compensation and Classification Study Consulting Services Contract
## Action Requested:
Authorize staff to enter into an agreement with MGT Impact Solutions, LLC (MGT) to provide
compensation and classification study professional services in an amount not to exceed $100,000.
## Information/Background:
In early 2026, the Executive Leadership Team established City-Wide goals for the 2026-2027 period.
Among these goals is a comprehensive classification and compensation study covering all full-time
and extended part-time positions. The City has relied on its current position classification method
since 2013, when the last full study was completed. While smaller re-classifications and market studies
have taken place in the interim, a thorough review is now necessary to address the evolving needs of
the organization.
Over the past thirteen years, significant changes have occurred in the job market. The primary
objective of the upcoming study is to update job classifications and pay structures to ensure both
fairness and competitiveness. Achieving these goals is essential for the City to retain talented
employees and remain in alignment with broader market trends. Additionally, the study will confirm
that all positions are classified in accordance with Minnesota Pay Equity requirements.
To initiate this project, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for professional services to conduct
the classification and compensation study. Proposals were due on May 22nd, and the City received a
total of 15 responses. After thoroughly reviewing all submissions, staff narrowed the selection to four
firms, which were subsequently interviewed. Based on these evaluations, staff recommends and seeks
authorization to enter into an agreement with MGT to provide the required services, with a contract
amount not to exceed $100,000.
The agreement with MGT will encompass several key elements: job data collection and analysis;
updates to job descriptions; market data collection and analysis; review and recommendations
regarding compensation philosophy; development of a classification framework and job family
structure; assessment of compensation structure, internal equity, compression, and Minnesota pay
equity; provision of recommendations and guidance for implementation; and delivery of a job
valuation/job pointing tool for the City to use in future position reviews and to maintain the
established framework and structure.
## Resources/Financial Impacts:
Consulting services will not exceed $100,000 budgeted within the general fund.
## Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars:

## Item Number: 6.5 Department: Human Resources
Item Activity: Action Prepared By: Amy Murray, Risk & Safety Manager
## Item Title: Liability Coverage Statutory Limits
## Action Requested:
Motion refusing to waive municipal tort liability limits.
## Information/Background:
For 2026-2027 municipal liability insurance policy, City Council must decide whether to waive or refuse
to waive the municipal tort liability limits per Minnesota Statutes 466.04. Claims to which the tort limits
do not apply are not affected by this decision.
If the City does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant could recover no more than
$500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total all claimants could recover for
a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000.
If the City waives the statutory tort limits, a single claimant could recover up to $2,000,000 for a single
occurrence. The total all claimants could recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort
limits apply would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless of the number of claimants.
Staff recommends Council does not waive the municipal tort liability limits.
## Resources/Financial Impacts:

## Item Title: Purchase Request: CloverRide Service Contract
## Action Requested:
Approve Purchase Request for CloverRide Service Contract with DARTS for $35,000.
## Requisition Number: 12600187
## Vendor: DARTS
## Equipment Status: N/A
## Funding Source: Public Works Department Transportation Division operating budget
Cost: $35,000
## Information/Background:
Since June 2018, the City has been engaged in a service contract with DARTS to provide a fixed-route
circulatory bus in the Southdale District (CloverRide). The primary goal of this service is to provide
mobility and access for residents and visitors to the City who can't or choose not to drive. CloverRide
operates Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on a one-hour loop, traveling to fixed stops that include
senior residential properties, grocers and retailers. Riders can also request additional stops within two
blocks of the regular route.
Staff recommends renewing the service contract with DARTS for another year to continue this
essential service for residents. The compensation for continuing service is $7,500 higher than the
previous service year (or 27%). This increase is primarily due to increases in fuel prices.
## Resources/Financial Impacts:
CloverRide is funded through the operating budget of the Transportation Division of the Public Works
Department. The cost of the service is within the available budget.
## Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars:
This service supports goals in the Comprehensive Plan to improve mobility for residents, visitors and
businesses with a balanced system of transportation alternatives and to support reliable transit
service and connections.

## Action Requested:
Approve Resolution 2026-33: Amending MnDOT Agreement No.1062130 for Rosland Park Pedestrian
## Bridge to include Noise Wall Installation
## Information/Background:
The City recently suggested to MnDOT that they provide funding to the City to install a portion of their
noise wall project with the Rosland Park Pedestrian Bridge Project. There are many benefits of doing
this work at the same time versus MnDOT coming back after the City bridge project in 2028. MnDOT
has agreed with the idea. They have also secured funding to do so. The City’s contractor is aware of
this change order to the contract.
Construction plans are being developed now to determine location, cost and approvals. This
amendment to the City / MnDOT Cooperative Agreement is required. This additional work should not
impact the schedule of the bridge project. The goal would be to install all or a portion of the noise wall
identified between the trail and 6302 Rose Court. In 2028, MnDOT will return to finish the noise wall as
part of the auxiliary lane project.
## Resources/Financial Impacts:
MnDOT is funding the additional noise wall portion of the project up to $800,000.
## Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars:
This project aligns with the Comprehensive Plan, Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plan and Climate Action
Plan.

## Item Title: Purchase Request: Fred Richards Wetland Impact Replacement
## Action Requested:
Approve Purchase Request for Fred Richards Park Wetland Replacement Credits Purchase for $42,624
with Peterson Farm Holding #3.
## Requisition Number: 12600186
## Vendor: Peterson Farm Holding #3
## Equipment Status: Replacement
## Funding Source: LOST Capital
Cost: $42,626
## Information/Background:
As a part of the 43-acre Fred Richards Park project, a known unavoidable Wetland Conservation Act
(WCA) impact approval is currently pending from Nine Mile Creek Watershed District. The proposed
Fred Richards Park Plan and construction would impact permanent wetlands for construction of the
new entry drive and installation of replacement stormwater infrastructure. These impacts were initially
planned to be replaced using new credits generated by a wetland bank establishment. On November
18, 2025 City Council approved the shift from wetland banking to the creation of a wetland
preserve. Since banking is no longer being pursued, wetland impacts need to be mitigated with the
purchase and transfer of wetland bank credits from an approved source. The purchase of 0.46 credits
is required for replacement. Peterson Farm Holdings #3 is a Hennepin County Wetland Bank as
required by Hennepin County for approvals. Staff also evaluated project specific impact mitigation on
site but the establishment of a historic restoration and conservation easement created conflicts with
site goals, project budget, and project timing.
## Resources/Financial Impacts:
## Funded with Local Option Sales Tax Funding
## Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars:
This is part of Fred Richards Park Capital Plan improvements. These impacts were required for access
and transportation and City of Edina worked with regulators to reduce any additional wetland impacts
created by original designs.

## OVERVIEW
## Study Purpose and Background
The City of Edina, MN (the City) is leading a study to investigate options to improve safety and minimize the
impacts of train horn noise. The Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA’s) Train Horn Rule, issued in June
2005, provides an opportunity to accomplish this objective. The Train Horn Rule specifies the procedures and
actions necessary to establish a quiet zone for at-grade highway-rail crossings.
SRF Consulting Group, Inc. (SRF) was retained to conduct a Rail Crossing Safety Study to analyze current
safety risk levels and evaluate the safety measures required to compensate for the loss of routine train horn
sounding if a federally approved quiet zone were established in the City. Through the assessment process,
14 at-grade rail crossings (12 public and two private) along the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) railroad
were reviewed.

This document outlines the recommended crossing improvements for quiet zone implementation at those
14 crossings. A map of the corridor with the locations of the rail crossings evaluated for the quiet zone is
shown in Figure 1 on the following page. This assessment included a field diagnostic review of the crossings
with representatives from the City of Edina, CPKC, the FRA, Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT), and SRF. This report summarizes the Quiet Zone Assessment methodology, discussion items, and
proposed improvement scenarios with planning-level cost estimates.

## Existing Conditions
Prior to determining the necessary improvements for the quiet zone, the study team examined the existing
characteristics and rail safety features of each crossing using the up to date FRA inventory forms. For a public
at-grade rail crossing to be eligible for a quiet zone, the crossing must meet pre-qualifying criteria which
means it includes flashing lights, two-quadrant vehicle gates, constant warning time (CWT) detection, and
power out indicators. According to FRA inventory forms at the time of the diagnostic meeting, the crossings
at Alabama Avenue, Brookside Avenue, and Yosemite Avenue meet the pre-qualifying criteria. Pedestrian
and private crossings do not have the same infrastructure requirements as public crossings so the Brunswick
South Pedestrian Crossing, Private Road crossing, and the Edina Public Works Access also meet the
requirements to be part of a quiet zone. Table 1 below summarizes each crossing’s current characteristics.
Seven crossings in St. Louis Park are included in this assessment because of the specifications outlined in the
FRA’s Train Horn Rule. The rule requires that if there is a public at-grade crossing within a quarter mile of
another crossing, it must be included in the quiet zone. This spacing requirement continues until there is not
another crossing within a quarter mile. There are many nearby crossings in the southern part of St. Louis Park
and the northern portion of Edina that requires the crossings to be part of a quiet zone together.

## QUIET ZONE ANALYSIS
A diagnostic team meeting was held on October 21st, 2025, to review crossings in St. Louis Park and on
December 16th to review crossing in Edina. Representatives from the City, CPKC, FRA, MnDOT, and SRF
Consulting Group attended. The diagnostic team met at the City of Edina Public Works Building to discuss
background information on the crossings, the Quiet Zone Assessment process, future City and CPKC rail
plans, and safety protocols when reviewing each crossing. The diagnostic team then completed a field
inspection of each crossing and discussed possible Supplemental Safety Measures (SSMs) and Alternative
Safety Measures (ASMs) improvement options at each crossing. At some crossings, neither SSMs nor ASMs
were determined to be necessary as the corridor’s risk score is below certain thresholds which are described
later.
SSMs are crossing safety improvements designated as effective substitutes for negating train whistles at
highway-rail crossings. SSMs deemed acceptable by the FRA for quiet zone implementation, in addition to
the minimum crossing requirements (as identified earlier), include non-traversable medians, four-quadrant
vehicle gates, channelization delineators, one-way pairs, and street closures.
ASMs are highway-rail crossing safety improvements not pre-approved for implementation per the Final
Rule and are subject to approval upon application review by the FRA Associate Administrator of Safety. This
application process is more time-consuming; however, it is an acceptable alternative to establishing a quiet
zone using SSMs. Common examples of ASMs are three-quadrant vehicle gates, non-traversable medians
less than 60 feet, programmed/photo enforcement, public awareness education, and other geometric
improvements.
The suitability of a particular SSM or ASM depends on various rail crossing factors like cost and geometric
constraints at crossings. Commonly proposed SSM treatments include four-quadrant vehicle gates which are
a highly effective measure but also have high associated costs. Another common SSM is the installation of
non-traversable medians which have a lower relative cost and are also effective in reducing risk. Non-
traversable medians, however, are sometimes not a preferred safety improvement because they can reduce
or eliminate access for existing driveways along the roadway. Another safety improvement includes
channelization delineators, which also have a low relative cost, but can have significant costs due to ongoing
maintenance.
During the diagnostic team's field review of the crossings, the feasibility and constructability of various
SSM/ASMs were evaluated. The quiet zone diagnostic meeting was also an opportunity to identify or discuss
other concerns or issues related to the crossing, such as safety, traffic operations, etc. The following sections
summarize the field review and assessment at each crossing. In addition to vehicular safety, participants
discussed pedestrian safety improvements, including lights, bells, gates, and channelization strategies that
could be implemented at crossings. These should be considered in quiet zones with high volumes of
pedestrian traffic. Bicycle and pedestrian safety in quiet zones are a significant safety concern for meeting
participants, especially where there are no audible or visual warnings or other safety issues that may warrant
pedestrian crossing improvements.

## DIAGNOSTIC MEETING CROSSING REVIEW
The following section includes the notes taken for each crossing during the diagnostic meetings on October
21
st
and December 16
th
, 2025. The notes include characteristics about each crossing, identified changes that
could made to improve crossing safety, and recommended improvements required to qualify to be part of a
quiet zone.
## Brunswick Ave South Pedestrian Crossing - 690988T (St. Louis Park)
This crossing meets the requirements of being part of a quiet zone because pedestrian crossings are not
required to have the prequalifying elements that public crossings are. This crossing does not have lights,
gates, or any warning detection system although lights are listed as present in the current inventory form.
This crossing has two tracks for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross, the CPKC line, and an industry track that
splits to the west on the south side of the crossing.
This crossing could be used as part of a future north south regional trail. The city also has long term plans
for converting the westbound industry track to a regional trail. The crossings have a single rubber panel for
the crossing which are in adequate condition.
The diagnostic team recommended widening the crossing to include two panels. The diagnostic team
discussed using stop signs rather than yield signs as the traffic control device at the crossing and decided
that stop signs should be used. The diagnostic team recommended keeping vegetation clear from the
crossing to maintain sight lines.
## Alabama Avenue – 854241 (St. Louis Park)
This crossing meets the requirements of being part of a quiet zone by having the prequalifying elements of
lights, gates, and Constant Warning Time detection. This crossing is equipped with four pairs of flashing
lights.
Alabama Avenue has 1,963 vehicles traversing the crossing each day and is 36 feet wide at the crossing with
parking on both sides of the street. There is a driveway within the gate area in both the northeast and
southwest quadrants. This is an alternative route for a future north/ south regional trail. The vehicle surface
at the crossing is in good condition and while the pedestrian surface is in good condition although ADA
compliant advanced warnings are missing at all quadrants.
The diagnostic meeting recommended clearing vegetation at the crossing to improve visibility, and to make
the crossing ADA compliant. The team discussed adding medians to the crossing, but because of the
driveways there would be no risk reduction benefit. The diagnostic team also discussed the FRA
recommendation for how far parking should be prohibited from crossings to maintain visibility. No risk
reduction treatment was mentioned as an option.
## Excelsior Boulevard - 854242E (St. Louis Park)
This crossing does not currently meet the requirements of being part of a quiet zone by having lights, gates,
and Constant Warning Time detection. The crossing has 12 pairs of lights with cantilevers but lacks CWT
detection system.
Excelsior Boulevard has 21,087 vehicles traversing the crossing each day and has two lanes in each direction
with an existing median the length of the block between the two lanes. Bunny’s, a popular bar and

City of Edina: Railroad Safety & Quiet Zone Assessment Page 6 of 29
northeast quadrant, a functioning gas station in the southwest quadrant and a multi-tenant office and retail
building in the southeast quadrant. All these businesses have driveways near the crossing. There is an
informal pedestrian path between Bunny’s entrance and the gas station about 70 feet north of the crossing,
but it is likely unused since the gas station closed. The vehicle and pedestrian crossing surfaces are in good
condition.
The diagnostic team mentioned adding fencing along the northern section of track between Bunny’s and the
gas station building but did not make a recommendation because the building is vacant and the path is
unlikely used. The team recommended the city investigate what the plans for the building are. If the building
is used as a gas station in the future, fencing should be considered. The diagnostic team acknowledged the
existing medians and noted that the city may take credit for the portion that has risk reduction value. The
team noted that with the current driveway configuration, little risk reduction safety improvements could be
made. No risk reduction treatment other than installing CWT detection system was mentioned as an option.
## W 41
st
Street - 854243L (St. Louis Park)
This crossing does not currently meet the minimum requirements of being part of a quiet zone by having
lights, gates, and Constant Warning Time detection. The crossing does not have any lights, gates, or CWT
detection system.
## W 41
st
Street has 775 vehicles traversing the crossing each day. The street is 26.5 feet wide on the east side
of the crossing and 24 feet wide about 100 feet west of the crossing. There is a driveway in the northeast
quadrant 77 feet from future gate arm locations. On the east side, the intersection with Zarthan Avenue S is
26 feet from the crossing. 41
st
Street has a significant downhill slope for eastbound traffic. There is a sidewalk
on the south side of the street without ADA compliant advanced warnings. During the meeting people were
clearing brush in the northeast quadrant and mentioned that a driveway to the retail and industrial building
on Excelsior Boulevard was going to be added there.
The diagnostic team recommended installing ADA compliant advanced warnings and clearing vegetation
near the crossing. The group highlighted that trees from a house in the southwest quadrant were blocking
the view of the eastbound stop sign. The group discussed closure or conversion to a pedestrian crossing as
an option for either this crossing or the crossing at W 42
nd
Street as both have very low volumes and require
expensive upgrades.
## W 42

system.
## W 42
nd
Street has 325 vehicles traversing the crossing each day. The street is 21 feet wide and does not have
sidewalks. The crossing is slightly humped and there was evidence of vehicles scraping the crossing surface.
On the southwest side of the crossing there is a driveway access to a small park 21 feet from future gate arm
locations. On the east side, the intersection with Zarthan Avenue S is 21 feet from the crossing.
The diagnostic team recommended clearing vegetation especially along the south side of the crossing. The
group discussed closure or conversion to a pedestrian crossing was mentioned as an option for either this
crossing or the crossing at W 41
st

## Brookside Avenue - 854245A (St. Louis Park)
This crossing meets the requirements of being part of a quiet zone by having lights, gates, and Constant
Warning Time detection. The crossing is equipped with four pairs of flashing lights.
Brookside Avenue has 1,162 vehicles traversing the crossing each day. There is an upcoming street project to
improve the street near this crossing. The project could include installing a sidewalk along the north side of
the street. Brookside Avenue currently only has a sidewalk on the south side of the street. There is a driveway
directly outside the gate arm area in the northeast quadrant and an alley in the southwest quadrant.
Trespassing was mentioned as an issue at this crossing as people walk along the bridge as a shortcut to
cross Minnehaha Creek instead of using Yosemite Ave S.
The diagnostic team recommended clearing vegetation on all sides of the crossing and to make the
pedestrian crossings ADA compliant. The team mentioned ASM medians as an option but recognized the
existing driveways would limit the risk reduction value.
## Yosemite Avenue - 854246G (St. Louis Park)
This crossing meets the minimum requirements of being part of a quiet zone by having lights, gates, and
Constant Warning Time detection. This crossing is equipped with five flashing lights.
Yosemite Avenue S has 4,075 vehicles traversing the crossing each day. The crossing is at the top of a hill
and at a curve in the street. The street has a sidewalk on the north side which does not have ADA compliant
advanced warnings. There is also a driveway in the southeast quadrant.
The group discussed the possibility of rerouting the driveway to connect to the private road just south of the
crossing or to close the private road and its crossing by routing those driveways to this driveway. Both
options had benefits and drawbacks, and the team did not conclude that either option would have a
significant safety benefit. The team also discussed adding medians to the crossing, but because of the slope
on the east side of the crossing and the curve on the west side, delineator posts should be added if that
option is pursued. Additionally, because of the existing driveway on the east side, a median on that side
would not have any risk reduction credit and would require the driveway to be right in right out. The team
recommended clearing vegetation near the crossing to improve sightlines and that no risk reduction
treatment was an option.
Private Road - 854247N
This crossing meets the requirements of being part of a quiet zone because private crossings are not
required to have the prequalifying elements that public crossings are. This crossing does not have lights,
gates, or any warning detection system.
The Private Road crossing has 15 vehicles traversing the crossing each day and is a humped gravel crossing
in poor condition. The signage is in poor condition and there is overgrown vegetation around the crossing.
As discussed in the Yosemite Avenue crossing summary, the diagnostic team discussed closing this crossing
and rerouting driveways to the driveway at the crossing is an option. The team discussed adding private
crossing signage and replacing the signs with new ones. The team also noted that because this is a private
crossing, nothing is required to be done.
The team noted that because this is a private crossing, nothing is required to be done.

Brookside Terrace - 854248V
This crossing does not currently meet the requirements of being part of a quiet zone by having lights, gates,
and Constant Warning Time detection. The crossing does not have any lights, gates, or CWT detection
system.
Brookside Terrace has 50 vehicles traversing the crossing each day. This crossing is a humped gravel crossing
that serves about a dozen homes on the east side of the crossing. The street makes an “L” shape and
connects to W 44th Street on the north side and Brookside Avenue on the south. The crossing seems to exist
largely for emergency vehicle access in and out of the area as the street is narrow and there is not enough
space to easily turn around.
The diagnostic team recommended following up with emergency responders to understand their needs at
the crossing. One member discussed the possibility of temporarily closing the crossing and making it only
available to emergency vehicles. The group also mentioned that the signage is in poor condition and that
vegetation should be cleared. The team noted that no risk reduction treatment was also an option.
## W 49
th
Street - 854249C
This crossing does not currently meet the requirements of being part of a quiet zone by having lights, gates,
and Constant Warning Time detection. The crossing does not have any lights, gates, or CWT detection
system.
## W 49
th
Street has 600 vehicles traversing the crossing each day. The crossing at W 49
th
Street is about 50 feet
east of the intersection with Brookside Avenue. On the east side of the crossing there are newer multifamily
buildings and single family homes. There is a sidewalk on the south side of the street that abruptly ends
before the crossing. There is an informal pedestrian path in the southwest quadrant that parallels the tracks
going up the hill to the commercial area there. There are trees and vegetation that limit the visibility at the
crossing. The stop and crossbuck signs are warned.
The diagnostic team determined that ASM medians could be possible at this crossing. It would be possible
to fit a 60-foot median on the east side and a 50-foot median on the west side of the crossing. The
diagnostic team recommended connecting the sidewalk to the sidewalk on Brookside Avenue. They also
recommended clearing vegetation and upgrading signs to improve maintain visibility.
## Public Works Access - 854250W
This crossing meets the requirements of being part of a quiet zone because private crossings are not
required to have the prequalifying elements that public crossings are. This crossing does not have lights,
gates, or CTW detection system.
The crossing has a public parking ramp on the west side of the crossing where a driveway connects south to
Eden Avenue. On the east side of the crossing is the former facility for the Public Works Department but is
now planned to be used for a mixed use development. There is a new pedestrian bridge that connects the
commercial area on the east side to Arcadia Avenue directly over the crossing. There is a commercial
business that has driveway access on the northwest quadrant of the crossing. It appears that new pavement
was recently laid to access the loading dock at the building.
This crossing is the last crossing in St. Louis Park’s proposed quiet zone. The Train Horn Rule formally
requires that a quiet zone does not end on a private crossing, but the FRA representative in the meeting
mentioned that they received directive that quiet zones can end at private crossings if the crossing is within
Page 66 of 401
City of Edina: Railroad Safety & Quiet Zone Assessment Page 9 of 29
a quarter mile of the last public crossing. Because this is a private crossing, no improvements need to be
made, but the group recommended that the new development in the southeast quadrant should not use this
access.
Hansen Road - 854251D
The Hansen Road crossing does not currently meet the requirements of being part of a quiet zone as the
crossing does not have gates, power-out indicators, or CWT detection. The crossing is currently equipped
with cantilever mounted flashing lights. Hansen Road has 2,170 vehicles traversing the crossing each day.
The crossing at Hansen Road is on the east side of Yancey Park just north of the intersection with W 56th
Street. The street has one lane in each direction with parking prohibited on both sides of the street. There is
a sidewalk on the west side of the street and on the south side of W 56th Street.
The diagnostic team recommended adding gates, CWT detection, and power-out indicators to the crossing.
The diagnostic team determined that either a third gate for westbound traffic on W 56th Street would be
needed or for W 56th Street to be closed to vehicle traffic as the intersection is too close to the crossing to
be safely managed with only two gates.
If W 56th Street were closed, the driveway for the house at the SE corner would need to be reconfigured to
reach the end of W 56th Street, not Hansen Road. For the northbound gate on Hansen Road, the diagnostic
team recommend placing the gate so the pedestrian crossing across Hansen Road would be south of the
gate arm. For the southbound gate on Hansen Road, the diagnostic team acknowledges that the gate arm
may need to block the sidewalk as there is limited space to reconfigure the sidewalk to be outside the gate
arm with the retaining wall.
Valley Lane - 854252K
The Valley Lane crossing does not currently meet the requirements of being part of a quiet zone as the
crossing does not have CWT detection. The crossing has four pairs of flashing lights and two roadway gates
but uses Motion Detection for train detection. Valley Lane has 4,775 vehicles traversing the crossing.
The crossing has one travel lane in each direction along with a sidewalk and parallel parking on the south
side of the street. The crossing is on top of a slight incline and on a curve, so visibility is reduced. The
roadway is wide enough for non-traversable medians if parking was prohibited. The diagnostic team
recommended upgrading the crossing to have CWT detection and clearing vegetation so signs are visible.
## Dewey Hill Road - 854253S
The Dewey Hill Road crossing does not currently meet the requirements of being part of a quiet zone as the
crossing does not have gates or CWT detection. Dewey Hill Road has 3,281 vehicles traversing the crossing
each day.
The crossing is in an industrial area of the city without any residential buildings immediately adjacent to the
crossing. There are commercial driveways in all four quadrants of the crossing. The rubber crossing was in
good condition. The diagnostic team recommended upgrading the crossings to have two quadrant gates
and CWT. The diagnostic team also mentioned non-traversable medians and wayside horns as possible
safety improvements. The medians would have to be reduced in length because of the driveways near the
crossing and may not be appropriate as the vehicles using the driveways could be too large to make turns
around the medians. Wayside horns may cause less disruption at this crossing compared to others as there
are not residential properties nearby.

City of Edina: Railroad Safety & Quiet Zone Assessment Page 10 of 29
## FRA RISK CALCULATOR
Using diagnostic team input, the next step in the quiet zone analysis was to evaluate the crossings using the
FRA’s online risk calculator. The FRA has made the calculator available to determine the risk reduction
benefits achieved by various Supplemental Safety Measures (SSMs). Because Alternative Safety Measures
(ASMs) are not pre-approved and have no established effectiveness rating, they cannot be evaluated using
the web calculator and must be calculated via an Excel spreadsheet. For the SSM improvements to be
considered effective, they must reduce or maintain the rail corridor’s Quiet Zone Risk Index (QZRI) to below
the Risk Index With Horns (RIWH) or the Nationwide Significant Risk Threshold (NSRT). The QZRI is the risk
to the motoring public after the corridor’s risk level is adjusted for the increased risk due to a lack of
locomotive horn sounding and the reduced risk due to the implementation of acceptable safety measures.
The RIWH is the level of risk that exists today when horns are sounded at every public crossing. The NSRT is
a measure of risk, calculated on a nationwide basis, which reflects the average level of risk to the motoring
public at public rail crossings equipped with vehicle gates and flashing lights, and at which the locomotive
horns are sounded. The NSRT, established by the FRA, is currently 15,488.

## QUIET ZONE SCENARIOS
The following scenarios outline the improvements recommended for each crossing and the associated costs
for a quiet zone to be established. The scenarios are broken into subzones, or smaller quiet zones with fewer
crossings which were identified based on distance between crossings that meet FRA quiet zone requirements
of being spaced more than ¼ mile from the next at-grade crossing. Establishing subzones allows the city to
make targeted safety improvements and establish quiet zones at certain crossings before every crossing has
been upgraded with the prerequisite infrastructure. Many of the crossings in St. Louis Park require upgrades
which the City of Edina cannot control. The southern three crossings are spread out, which allows the
crossings to be quiet zones individually or grouped together as shown in Table 2. Generally, it is not
advised to have only one crossing in a zone because of how risk is averaged across all crossings in a quiet
zone, but it can be done. A downside of a quiet zone with only one crossing is that the risk index may
increase to a level that makes a zone noncompliant if a crash takes place or traffic volumes at the crossing
increase significantly over time.

## Subzone A
Subzone A is a potential future quiet zone that includes 11 crossings shown in Figure 2. Four of the southern
crossings are in the City of Edina while the northern seven are in the City of St. Louis Park. If this subzone
were established, trains would not routinely use their horn from the southern Brunswick Avenue pedestrian
crossing in St. Louis Park to the Public Works Access crossing in the City of Edina. To create a subzone
including these crossings, both cities would need to make the necessary improvements before the zone
could be established. Potential ASM treatments were indentifeid at some crossings during the diagnostic
meeting so the cities can weigh the importance of addinal risk reduction credit when determining how to
move forward with implementation.
The City has budgeted $3,506,942 in the 2030 Capital Improvemetn Plan to make the nessesary
improvemetns at the the Brookside Terrace and 49
th
Street crossings. The budgeted amount is larger than
the estimated cost to account for year-over-year inflation until the year of construction, administrative costs,
and contingency.
## Implementation without ASM Improvements
Error! Reference source not found. below depicts the improvements needed to be made to the crossings
in Subzones A to be part of a quiet zone. In this scenario, the QZRI would be 4,004 which is below the NSRT,

shows the improvements needed to be made for the crossings in Subzones A along with ASM treatments
that slightly reduce the risk level. In this scenario, the QZRI would be 3,186 which is below the NSRT (15,488),
but still above the RIWH (2,401). The City could also construct the ASMs that were identified in the
diagnostic meeting but not take the risk reduction credit for them. Doing so would not extend the
implementation timeline of the quiet zone while still actualizing the safety improvement. This can be done
for any of the following subzone implementation plan with ASM improvements as the risk is low throughout
the corridor.

## Subzone B
Subzone B is a potential future quiet zone that includes a single crossing at Hansen Road shown in Figure 3.
If only this subzone was established, trains would not routinely use their horn for only this crossing. This
crossing is more complex than many of the other crossings in the City of Edina because of how W 56th
Street intersects with Hansen Road at the crossing. Additional modifications to the intersection are necessary
beyond implementing SSMs or ASMs to make the crossings safe without the routine use of a train horn.
These improvements were discussed previously on Page 10. No ASM treatments were discussed at this
crossing.
The City has budgeted $1,792,634 in the 2029 Capital Improvemetn Plan to make the nessesary
improvemetns at the the Hansen Road crossing. The budgeted amount is larger than the estimated cost to
account for year-over-year inflation until the year of construction, administrative costs, and contingency.

## Subzone C
Subzone C is a potential future quiet zone that includes a single crossing in the section of the city south of
Highway 62 at Valley Lane shown in Figure 4. If only this subzone was established, trains would not routinely
use their horn for only at this crossing. This crossing has lights and gates but does not have Constant
Warning Time detection. Often times whe n the railroad installs CWT, they also upgrade the lights and gates
at the same time. No ASM treatments were discussed at this crossing.
The City has budgeted $1,411,475 in the 2027 Capital Improvemetn Plan to make the nessesary
improvemetns at the Valley Lane crossing. The budgeted amount is larger than the estimated cost to
account for year-over-year inflation until the year of construction, administrative costs, and contingency.

## Subzone D
Subzone D is a potential future quiet zone that includes a single crossing at Dewey Hill Road in the industrial
part of the city north of Interstate 494 and west of Highway 100 shown in Figure 5. If only this subzone was
established, trains would not routinely use their horn for only at this crossing. Reduced length non-
traversable medians were discussed as an optional ASM treatment at the crossing but are not required to
establish the zone.
The City has budgeted $1,517,336 in the 2028 Capital Improvemetn Plan to make the nessesary
improvemetns at the the Dewey Hill Road crossing. The budgeted amount is larger than the estimated cost
to account for year-over-year inflation until the year of construction, administrative costs, and contingency.

## All Subzones
All Subzones is a potential future quiet zone that includes 14 crossings, with seven crossings in the City of
Edina and seven in the City of St. Louis Park, shown in Figure 6. If this subzone were established, trains
would not routinely use their horn from the southern Brunswick Avenue pedestrian crossing in St. Louis Park
through the entire the City of Edina. To create this quiet zone, both cities would need to make the necessary
improvements before the zone could be established or all subzones could be established and then the
subzones could be grouped together later to create the entire zone distributing risk across many crossings.
Potential ASM treatments were indentifeid at some crossings during the diagnostic meeting so both cities
can weigh the importance of additional risk reduction credit when determining how to move forward with
implementation.

## Subzone BCD
5Subzone BCD is a potential future quiet zone that includes the three subzones that are exclusive to the City
of Edina. If this subzone were established, trains would not routinely use their horn from Hansen Road to
Dewey Hill Road shown in Figure 7. To create this quiet zone, the city would need to make the necessary
improvements at each of the crossings before the zone could be established or all subzones could be
established and then the subzones could be grouped together later to create the entire zone distributing risk
across many crossings like described for the “All Subzones” quiet zone. Potential ASM treatments were
identified at some crossings during the diagnostic meeting so the city can weigh the importance of
additional risk reduction credit when determining how to move forward with implementation.
## Implementation without ASM Improvements
The city may want to pursue establishing a quiet zone for the crossing that it has full control over. Table 11
shows the improvements needed to do so. This zone would include three crossings with the QZRI being
5,098. This risk index is below the NSRT, but still above the RIWH (3,098).

## NEXT STEPS
The next steps the City should take is to decide on whether to pursue quiet zone. If the city were to decide
to pursue implementation, the quickest way for the City benefit from quieter crossings would be to first
establish a quiet zone at the Hansen Road, Valley Lane, and Dewey Hill Road crossings.
The QZRI of this quiet zone would be 5,098 which is above the RIWH, but well below the NSRT. While the
diagnostic team identified some recommendations that could slightly improve the safety of crossing by
constructing reduced length non-traversable medians the risk reduction credit from the medians would be
negligible, would not reduce the risk below the RIWH, and would extend the timeline of quiet zone
implementation. The City could construct the medians and not take credit for their risk reduction but know
that they do have some safety benefit outside of FRA risk calculation.
The City is aware of the necessary improvements and has budgeted funds to make the improvements in their
Capital Improvement Plan beginning in 2027.
The City should also coordinate with the City of St. Louis Park to understand their timeline for making
improvements at the crossings in Subzone A. Once both cities make the improvements for that subzone,
they can move forward with quiet zone establishment for the joint zone.
## Submit a Notice of Intent or Public Authority Application
Once the city decides to move forward with pursuing a quiet zone, the next step of implementing a quiet
zone is to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) or Public Authority Application (PAA). In the process of creating a
quiet zone, these documents serve as the formal way a city declares to the FRA, state, and railroad the city’s
intent to establish a quiet zone. It is a legally required document under 49 CFR Part 222 that transitions a
project from a local idea into a formal federal regulatory process.
A NOI is used for proposed quiet zones that use SSMs or no treatments. PAAs are used for proposed quiet
zones that use ASMs. PAA review process is much longer than the review process for NOI and can take up to
a year and a half to be approved.
The NOI essentially starts the 60-day clock. A city cannot establish a quiet zone until at least 60 days have
passed since sending the NOI. This ensures that railroads and state agencies have sufficient time to review
the safety plans and provide feedback. The NOI or PAA must send to a specific set of stakeholders including:
• All railroads operating over the crossings in the proposed zone
• The State agency responsible for highway and road safety
## • FRA
The NOI or PAA provides the technical "blueprint" for the proposed zone. It must include: A list of all DOT
Crossing Inventory numbers and street names involved. The time period of the restriction. A brief
explanation of the proposed safety improvements the City intends to install. Contact information for the
City’s designated Point of Contact.
Page 87 of 401
City of Edina: Railroad Safety & Quiet Zone Assessment Page 30 of 29
Filing a Noice of Intent or Public Authority Application is required before the City can file a Notice of
Establishment (NOE). The NOE is the final document that actually stops the horns. The NOE must explicitly
affirm that the NOI was sent and that all comments received during the 60-day period were addressed.
## Conclusion
The Quiet Zone Assessment for the City of Edina reviewed specific crossing characteristics to create a plan to
implement a quiet zone along the CPKC railroad. The analysis indicates that many of the crossings require
upgrades to meet the minimum requirements of the FRA, but the corridor is relatively safe requiring no risk
reduction treatments beyond having lights, gates, CWT, and power out indicators at every crossing. The City
is in good position to establish a quiet zone for the southern three crossings but will need to coordinate with
the City of St. Louis Park to implement a quiet zone throughout the entire city.
Ultimately, the decision on when to pursue will depend on the City's priorities, balancing the desire to
minimize train horn noise with budget constraints and community impacts. Further discussions with
stakeholders, including the FRA and CPKC, are recommended to finalize the quiet zone design and
implementation plan.

## Quiet Zone Overview
What is a Quiet Zone?
A designated section of railroad track where trains are not required to
routinely sound their horn at public highway-rail grade crossings
What is required for a Quiet Zone?
Zone needs to meet minimum safety thresholds
Every crossing needs:
flashing lights
gates
## Constant Warning Time
power out indicators
Page 91 of 401
## Crossings
Five public highway at-grade crossings and
two private at-grade crossings on CPKC
railway in Edina
Seven crossings in St. Louis Park would need
to be included in a quiet zone for all
crossings in Edina to be part of a quiet zone.
Few trains use railroad each day
Trains are traveling very slowly
Most crossings are very low risk for crashes
Page 92 of 401
## Diagnostic Meeting
``
In October and in December, representatives from
## CPKC, FRA, MnDOT, the City of Edina, the City of
St. Louis Park, and SRF went to each crossings.
The group determined what needed to be done at
each crossing to qualify to be part of a quiet zone
Determined other safety improvements that could
be made to each crossing that were not required
Page 93 of 401
## Diagnostic Meeting Continued
`
None of the public crossings in Edina meet the
minimum requirement of having flashing lights,
gates, and CWT.
Some crossings are spaced in a way that allow
for the establishment of separate QZs within
the city.

## Information / Background:
The Engineering Department received 208 traffic safety requests in 2025. Requests are received by
phone, mail, email and through the City’s website. 238 requests were reviewed and completed in 2025,
an increase of 91 requests from 2024; this includes 94 requests received before 2025. Each request may
require data collection and analysis by the Traffic Safety Coordinator prior to review by the Traffic
Safety Committee. Requests are assigned to one of five categories; Traffic Calming, Parking and Signage,
Intersection Control, Pedestrian Safety or Other (see Figure 1).
## Figure 1. Traffic Safety Requests Reviewed in 2025
After requests are reviewed by the Committee, they are categorized as A (recommended action), B
(recommended denial/no change) or C (recommend further study) items in traffic safety reports. Many
requests are handled solely by the Traffic Safety Coordinator; these are generally requests for increased
police enforcement or for matters governed by existing City policies (crosswalks, signage, traffic signals,
etc.). These are categorized as D items. Table 1 shows the full breakdown of requests reviewed in 2025.

## Item Number: 8.1 Department: Administration
## Item Activity: Action Prepared By: Sharon Allison, City Clerk
## Item Title: Bojae's Liquor License Suspension
## Action Requested:
Approve Bojae's 3-day liquor license suspension and $1,000 fine for their second liquor license offense
within 24 months.
## Information/Background:
On May 12, alcohol was sold to an under 21-year-old police decoy during an alcohol compliance check
by the Edina Police Department. This was Bojae's second offense within 24 months and the
presumptive civil penalty is a 3-day liquor license suspension and $1,000 fine. Per City Code, Chapter 4,
Alcoholic Beverage, Section 4-14-2, and in accordance with MN Statute 340A.415, the licensee must be
given the opportunity for a hearing.
Staff recommends Monday-Wednesday, June 22-24, for the 3-day suspension. Staff also recommends
that Bojae's decides how to notify their customers of the 3-day suspension, for example, by posting a
notice on entry door(s) and also where alcohol is in plain site of customers.
Additionally, five other liquor establishments were charged with their first offense within 24 months and
have opted to forgo a public hearing and pay the $500 fine.

Item Title: Ordinance 2026-9 Amendment Regarding Parking Requirements for the 50th & France
## District
## Action Requested:
Approve Ordinance 2026-09 amendment regarding parking requirements for the 50th & France
District, grant first reading and waive second reading.
## Information/Background:
Section 36-1312 of the Edina Zoning Ordinance allows commercial properties at 50th & France to rely on
the public ramps to satisfy their parking requirement up to a floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.0. FAR means the
gross floor area of a building divided by the lot area. Buildings that exceed an FAR of 1.0 must provide
additional parking for the square footage exceeding an FAR of 1.0. As a policy, Edina has allowed the
commercial properties at 50th & France to rely on the parking ramps to meet their parking
requirement up to an FAR of 1.0 since 1978. Since the parking is a resource that is shared by all property
owners in the district, this was a way to distribute the available parking in a way that was fair. This
practice was formally codified in 2022.
In the fall of 2025, a variance from this provision was requested at 5036 France Avenue to allow a
restaurant to expand up to an FAR of 1.2 without providing additional parking. The variance was
strongly supported by the community and, as a result, the City Council provided feedback to staff to
explore amending the parking requirement at 50th & France to allow other property owners in the
district the same opportunity. Staff have analyzed the parking data for the three ramps and the
potential for redevelopment in the district and are proposing an amendment to Section 36-1312 to
increase the amount of FAR allowed before additional parking is required from 1.0 to 1.25.
The ramps at 50th & France are equipped with technology to count the number of vehicles entering
and leaving the ramp. The technology is not perfect but provides an estimate of the utilization of the
ramps on any given day and at what time the peak demand occurred. Between the North Ramp,
Center Ramp, and South Ramp, there are 1069 parking stalls. Staff analyzed the parking utilization data
from March 2023 to March 2026 and found that on an average day, after subtracting the number of
spaces occupied at peak demand, there are still about 388 stalls available on an average day.

## TOTAL 1,069 681.3 63.7% 387.7
When the parking variance at 5036 France Avenue was being considered, staff analyzed the parking
availability specifically for Friday and Saturday evening since that was assumed to be the peak time
for the restaurant. That analysis found that there should be at least 327 spaces available on an
average Friday or Saturday evening.
For retail uses, the code requires 1 stall per 250 square feet, with a 10% reduction for areas served by
regular transit. If we assume this ratio, then the district could accommodate approximately 108,000
additional square feet of retail on an average day based on 388 stalls available. When the FAR
restriction was put into place back in 1978, a ratio of 1 stall per 312.5 square feet of commercial (3.2
spaces / 1,000 sf) was used to account for the mixed-use nature of the district given that the variety of
uses will have differing peak times. Using this ratio, the district could accommodate approximately
121,250 additional square feet of commercial. Given the improvements in transit to the area since 1978
and the emergence of e-bikes and ride-hailing services, even this ratio may be conservative.
Staff have analyzed the potential for redevelopment in the district. Attached to this report is a table
that shows the existing properties in the district, including their existing FAR and how much square
footage each could add to get to an FAR of 1.0, 1.25 and 1.5. If every property in the district added
commercial square footage up to an FAR of 1.25, this would equate to approximately 310,472 additional
square feet, which is more than can be accommodated by the existing parking capacity; however,
there are several reasons staff feel comfortable with the proposed code change.
1. Most properties are unlikely to expand. Staff identified several parcels that we believe are the
most unlikely to redevelop based on existing site conditions and their ability to expand (shaded
in gray on the table). After subtracting these sites, the amount of potential additional square
footage is reduced to from 310,472 to 222,268.
2. Of the 222,268 square feet, 101,842 square feet is attributed to the US Bank site at 4100 50th St W
and 63,581 square feet to the Lunds site at 3945 50th St W. Neither of these sites is likely to add
this much commercial square footage without adding additional parking because investors will
require proof of adequate parking and tend to be more conservative. The Nolan Mains project
added 139 parking stalls to the district when that development occurred. In the case of other
recent development proposals for the Opus headquarters at 5100 Eden Avenue and the Macy’s
furniture redevelopment 7235 France Avenue, both projects proposed more parking than
required by code.
3. All properties in the district are not going to redevelop at the same time and redevelopment of
any individual property will not use up all the remaining parking capacity. If there is major
redevelopment, the City can re-evaluate the amount of available parking and change the code
Page 123 of 401
again in the future.
No comments were received on Better Together Edina. The Edina Planning Commission considered
this item at their April 29, 2026 meeting and voted 8-0 (with one abstention) to recommend approval
of the ordinance as proposed.

To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Citizens of the City of Edina (City):
Minnesota statutes require that every city publish within six months of the close of each fiscal year a
complete set of audited financial statements. This report is published to fulfill that requirement for the
fiscal year ended December 31,2025.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information
presented in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established
for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective
is to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
BerganKDV LTD, a firm of licensed certified public accountants, has issued an unmodified (clean)
opinion on the City’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The independent
auditors’ report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors’ report
and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. The
MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
Profile of the City
The City of Edina is a fully developed first-ring suburb of Minneapolis. The City is home to a residential
population of 54,785 and also has strong daytime population with more than 67,000 jobs. The residential
population is slowly increasing and the employment conditions are stable. The City occupies a land area
of 16 square miles. The majority of the City consists of strong residential neighborhoods (60% of land
area). 15% of the City is used for commercial, industrial and public/semi-public uses. 21% of the City is
used for parks and open spaces. The balance of the land (4%) is used for roadways. Incorporated in 1888,
the City is empowered to levy a property tax on real property located within its boundaries.
The City has operated under the Council-Manager form of government since 1955. Policy-making and
legislative authority are vested in a City Council (Council) consisting of the Mayor and four other
members, all elected on a nonpartisan basis. The Council is responsible, among other things, for passing
ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring the City Manager. The City Manager
is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the Council, for overseeing the day-to-day
operations of the city government, and for appointing the heads of the various departments. Council
members serve four-year terms, with two Council members elected every two years. The Mayor also
serves a four-year term. The Council and Mayor are elected at large.
The City provides a full range of services, including police, fire and emergency medical services; the
construction and maintenance of highways, streets, and other infrastructure; water and sewer services and
recreational and cultural activities and events.
5
Page 141 of 401
The Council is required to adopt a final budget by no later than the close of the previous fiscal year. The
annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. The budget is
prepared by fund, function (e.g., public safety), and department (e.g., police). Department heads may use
resources within a department as they see fit. The City Manager may authorize transfers of budgeted
amounts between departments.
## Local Economy
The City currently enjoys a favorable economic environment and local indicators point to continued
stability. The region, while noted for a strong retail sector, enjoyed considerable re-development in recent
years. The re-development consisted of varied manufacturing, medical and high-tech base that adds to the
relative stability of the unemployment rate. Major industries with headquarters or divisions within the
government’s boundaries or in close proximity include medical services, retail operations and banking
services. Edina is home to over 67,000 jobs that are expected to remain stable over the coming years.
The City has become known for its quality residential housing stock and attractive neighborhoods. To
date, approximately 98% of the available housing stock is in place. Although the emphasis has changed over
the years from exclusively single-family housing to a more balanced mix of housing types, the City’s
concern for overall quality in residential development remains a top priority.
The City enjoys a AAA bond rating and a Aaa bond rating from Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s,
respectively.
## Long-Term Financial Planning
The Metropolitan Council requires all cities in the seven-county metropolitan area to have a
Comprehensive Plan and state law requires cities to update their plans every 10 years. The last plan was
adopted in 2020. The Comprehensive Plan guides development and redevelopment and addresses changes
likely to occur due to various social and market forces.
The City continues to focus on quality-of-life improvements throughout Edina. These efforts cover a
broad array of areas including protecting and improving the environment, revitalization of parks and
public areas, expanding recreational opportunities, addressing race and equity disparities, and increasing
communication between City representatives and the public.
The City is working closely with state government, federal government and neighboring communities to
improve the area’s state and county transportation network, which includes upgraded highways and well-
placed pathways. Funding for most of the transportation improvements will need to come from state,
county, and federal sources, with some minor portion supported by the local taxpayers.
## Relevant Financial Policies
The City has adopted a set of financial management policies that focus on long-term financial planning.
Policies cover areas such as cash and investments, the operating budget, revenue, fund balance, capital
outlay, and debt management.
Assignments for fund balances and compensated absences are all calculated as specified in the policies. In
addition, the City has $31,253,577 unassigned fund balance in the general fund. It is the policy of City
that, to the extent possible, such excess fund will typically be transferred to the Construction Fund to
support capital improvements. This amount is $6,337,486 above the goal range identified in the policy.

## Major Initiatives
The City is continually working to update our aging infrastructure. Our annually adopted six-year Capital
Improvement Plan includes spending and financing projections for these projects.
## Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Edina for its Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. This was the fifteenth
consecutive year that the government has achieved this prestigious award. To be awarded a Certificate of
Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized annual
comprehensive financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles
and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current annual
comprehensive financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements
and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the dedicated services of the Finance
Department staff. We would like to express our appreciation to all members of the department who
assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report. Credit also must be given to the Mayor and the
City Council for their unfailing support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the
management of the City’s finances.
Respectfully submitted,
## Nelly Chick-Brewer, Assistant Finance Director

## Independent Auditor's Report

## Edina, Minnesota
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
## Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Edina,
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the City of Edina's basic financial statements as listed in the Table of
Contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Edina, as of December 31, 2025,
and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the
year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
## Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City of Edina
and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements
relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
## Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City of
Edina's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date,
including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Page 149 of 401
14
## Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report
that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute
assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and
Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood
that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user
based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is
expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of
the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern
for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal
control related matters that we identified during the audit.
## Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
Management's Discussion and Analysis, which follows this report letter, and Required Supplementary
Information as listed in the Table of Contents be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the
basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in
an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited
procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of
inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We
do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any
assurance.
Page 150 of 401

## Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Edina's basic financial statements. The accompanying
supplementary information identified in the Table of Contents is presented for purposes of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the accompanying supplementary information is fairly stated,
in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
## Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other
information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic
financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements
do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance
thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and
the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement
of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
## Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
June 5, 2026, on our consideration of the City of Edina's internal control over financial reporting and
on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing,
and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Edina's internal control over
financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City of Edina's internal control over
financial reporting and compliance.

## Management's Discussion and Analysis
## Year Ended December 31,2025
As management of the City of Edina (the City), we offer readers of the City's financial statements
this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2025. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction
with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which precedes this
report.
## FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $437,332,256, resulting in a
positive net position. Of this amount, $75,631,751 represents unrestricted net position which
is available to support the City's ongoing operations and financial obligations in line with its
established fund designations and fiscal policies.
The City's total net position increased by $49,561,447 compared to the prior year. Of this
growth, $38,408,216 resulted from Governmental Activities, while $11,153,231 came from
Business-Type Activities.
• At the close of the 2025 fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $154,019,326, an increase of $2,898,230 from the prior year. The growth
was driven primarily by increases in the Housing and Redevelopment Authority fund of
$997,036, the construction fund of $14,283,714, and the general fund of $5,027,059, partially
offset by a decrease of $16,714,031 in the debt service fund and $695,548 in nonmajor
governmental funds.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the general fund was
$31,253,577, or 50% of total general fund expenditures.
• The City's total bonded debt increased by $2,421,000 during the current fiscal year from
$186,366,00 at the end of 2024 due to the debt issuance of General Obligation Bonds, Series
2025A in the amount of $22,345,000 & Series 2025B in the amount of $8,785,000, offset by
scheduled principal bond payments which included a $17,000,000 repayment of the 2022B
temporary CIP bonds.
## OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial
statements. The City's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide
financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This
report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
## Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of
the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.

## OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
## Government-Wide Financial Statements (Continued)
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's assets, deferred outflows of
resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between them reported
as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of
whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during
the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event
giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future
fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and
charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general
government, public safety, public works, and parks. The business-type activities of the City include
water, sewer, stormwater, recycling, liquor, aquatic center, golf course, arena, and community
activity centers.
## Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have
been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments,
uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements. All the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds,
proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
## Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide
financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and
outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end
of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financial
requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statement. By
doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City's near-term financial
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and change in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities.

## OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
## Governmental Funds (Continued)
The City maintains four individual major governmental funds. Information is presented separately in
the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund, Housing and Redevelopment
Authority fund, debt service fund, and the construction fund.
Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation.
Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds are provided in the form of
combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for all governmental and proprietary funds. A
budgetary comparison statement has been provided for all governmental funds to demonstrate
compliance with these budgets.
## Proprietary Funds
The City maintains five major enterprise funds and four internal service funds. Enterprise funds are
used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the governmental-wide
financial statements. The City's major enterprise funds are used to account for its utility, liquor,
aquatic center, golf, and arena operations.
Data from the other enterprise funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual
fund data for each of these nonmajor enterprise funds are provided in the form of combining
statements elsewhere in this report.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial
statements, only in more detail.
## Internal Service Funds
Internal service funds are used as an accounting device to accumulate and allocate costs internally
among the City's various functions. The City utilizes four internal service funds to account for
insurance and risk management activities, equipment operations, IT services, and facilities
management. These services have been allocated proportionately to governmental and business-type
activities in the government-wide financial statements.
## Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because
the resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs. The accounting
used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.
## Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data
provided in the government–wide and fund financial statements.

## OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
## Other Information
The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules referred to earlier in
connection with nonmajor governmental and enterprise funds, as well as internal service funds, are
presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Supplementary financial
information and the statistical section are the final two items presented.
## GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources by $437,332,256 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City's net position ($269,242,363 or 62%) reflects its investment in capital
assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those
assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens;
consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its
capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay
this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to
liquidate these liabilities.

## GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
## Governmental Activities
A portion of the City's net position ($92,458,142) represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position
($75,631,751) may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all of the
categories of net position reported, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate
governmental and business-type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.
There was an increase of $11,764,292 in unrestricted net position. This was mainly due to positive
operations.
The decreases in deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources relate to the
changes in the City's share of state pension plan amounts while the increase in long-term liabilities is
primarily attributable to newly issued debt, offset by regular scheduled payments on the City's
outstanding bonds.
As shown on the following page, the City's net position increased by $49,561,447 during the current
fiscal year. Factors contributing to this change are discussed in the next two sections.

## TotalBusiness-Type ActivitiesGovernmental Activities
Governmental activities increased the City's net position by $38,408,216, Key elements of the
increase are as follows.
• Property tax revenues increased by $4,417,097. The increase is primarily attributed to a 2.8%
increase in tax capacity and a 3.4% increase in the market value of real properties.
• Other taxes increased by $2,861,219 due to local sales tax. Local sales tax revenue increased
year-over-year despite the tax rate remaining unchanged. The increase is primarily due to
higher sales driven by increased consumer spending, inflationary price increases, and overall
economic expansion within the city.

## FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
## Governmental Funds
The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows,
and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing
requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a
government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $154,019,326, an increase of $2,898,230 in comparison with the prior year.
Approximately 20% of this total amount ($30,851,954) constitutes unassigned fund balance. The
remainder of the fund balance is 1) restricted by external creditors, grantors, laws, or regulations
($107,656,530) or 2) assigned by internal constraints ($15,331,967), or 3) nonspendable in the form of
prepaid items ($178,875).
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year,
unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $31,253,577. As a measure of the general fund's
liquidity, unassigned fund balance represents 50% of total general fund expenditures.
At December 31, 2025, the fund balance of the general fund was $35,964,970, an increase of 16.2%,
or $5,027,059, from the 2024 fund balance. Key factors related to this increase include:
• Overall, revenues increased $3,950,900, or 6.2%, from the prior year, increasing from
$63,301,756 to $67,252,656. Property tax revenue increased by $3,505,940 primarily due to
an increase in the tax levy. Property taxes are the main source of revenue for the general
fund and with fluctuations in other sources; these funds are more heavily relied upon.
Licenses and permits revenue increased $858,880 due to an increase in building permits and
rental licenses in 2025. All other categories stayed consistent with the prior years.
• General fund expenditures increased by $3,176,274, or 5.4%, from $58,959,511 to
$62,135,785. Public safety had the largest increase in expenditures of $3,059,663, or 10.3%,
as a result of filling vacant police and fire positions as well as non-capital costs related to the
fire station 2 project. General government expenditures decreased $947,879 due to the deed
grant repayment ending in 2024 as well as Lincoln and Londonderry Small Area Plan consulting
ending in 2024. Parks and recreation expenditures increased $705,294 as a result of hiring a
new facilities coordinator and a digital marking coordinator. There were also significantly
more part-time rink attendants and part-time maintenance hours paid in 2025. All other
categories stayed consistent with the prior years.
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority fund balance increased by $997,036 in the current fiscal
year due to payment for the Southdale redevelopment agreement.

## FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S FUNDS (CONTINUED)
## Governmental Funds (Continued)
The debt service fund has a total fund balance of $7,640,287, all of which is restricted for the
payment of debt service. The net decrease in fund balance during the current year in the debt
service fund was $16,714,031. The decrease was the result of $5,273,981 in general property taxes,
$996,250 in intergovernmental revenue, transfers in of $3,634,644, and premium of bonds of
$147,185, offset by $27,033,273 in debt service payments.
The construction fund balance increased by $14,283,714 in 2025. The increase was as a result of
$5,710,061 in general property taxes, $7,427,094 in general sales tax, $4,388,655 in special
assessments, $19,698,830 in intergovernmental revenue, $4,338,706 in investment income, and
$22,190,113 from new bonds issued, offset by $47,430,765 in construction expenditures.
## Proprietary Funds
The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide
financial statements, but in more detail.
Unrestricted net position of the utility fund at the end of the year amounted to $47,571,834. The
total growth in net position from current year operations was $10,818,920. Operating revenues in the
utilities fund increased by $2,447,959, or 7.7%, while expenses increased by $1,016,090, or 4.5% in
2025. The revenue increase was due to changes in rates and more water and sewer connection fees
in 2025. Expenses increased because of an increase in wastewater fees, the York Avenue pond
improvement, and annual storm inspections. This was an increase of $1,431,869 in the operating
income reported in 2024. The utility fund cash and investment balance increased $9,019,766 during
2025 while the unrestricted net position increased $5,479,886 during the same time period. The
utility fund cash and investments exceeded unrestricted net position due to unspent bond proceeds at
the end of the year related to capital projects.
Unrestricted net position of the liquor fund at the end of the year amounted to $236,114.
The liquor fund reported a decrease of $1,566,866, or 12.4%, in sales from prior year along with
decrease in costs of sales of 11.4% or $964,229. Operating expenses in the liquor fund decreased
$703,561 due to changes in cost of goods purchasing strategies. The liquor fund gross profit percentage
remained consistent to prior year. In 2025, the liquor fund cash and investment balance decreased
$788,474 while the unrestricted net position decreased $471,533. The liquor fund continues to
transfer profits back into other City funds, including the Art Center, the Braemar Arena, and the
Centennial Lakes funds. The liquor fund made transfers totaling $1,000,000 to these other funds in
2025. The transfers out were greater than operating income of $335,019 in 2025, leading to the
reduction of $594,899 in net position in the liquor fund in 2025.
Unrestricted net position of the aquatic center fund at the end of the year amounted to $967,875
and the restricted net position amounted to $1,241,704. In 2025, the aquatic center fund showed an
operating loss of $236,177. Even though there is an operating loss in 2025, there is an $81,199
improvement in the operating loss compared to the prior year. The aquatic center fund experienced
an increase in operating revenue of $25,564 as a result of more concession sales during the year. The
aquatic center fund operating expenses decreased $55,635 due to less repairs and maintenance.
In 2025, the aquatic center fund cash and investment balance decreased $364,946 while the
unrestricted net position increased $23,859.

## Proprietary Funds (Continued)
Unrestricted net position of the golf course fund at the end of the year amounted to $2,103,885, an
improvement of $560,842 from the prior year. In 2025, the fund showed an operating income of
$854,675. This is an increase of $348,848 in the operating income from the prior year. The golf
course fund experienced an increase in operating revenue of $36,899 as a result of early Spring
weather and a demand for outdoor golf. The golf course fund operating expenses decreased $311,949
due to negative pension expense as well as less uniform costs. The golf course fund cash and
investment balance increased $812,314 and the increase directly related to operating income.
Unrestricted net position of the arena fund at the end of the year amounted to a deficit of
($326,780), an increase in the deficit by $76,650 from the prior year. The arena fund had an
operating loss of $816,260, an improvement of $173,360 from the prior year. The arena fund had a
decrease in operating revenue of $40,608 due to a decrease in ice rentals as well as a decrease in
concession sales. The arena fund operating expenses increased $132,752 as a result of an increase in
repairs and maintenance. The arena fund cash and investment balance decreased $22,222. The
decrease largely related to operating loss, almost entirely offset by operating transfer in and utility
contribution in.

## ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
The City strives to provide an uncommonly high quality of life for our residents and businesses, and
the relatively healthy local economy helps to make this goal a reality. The unemployment rate in
Edina has remained under 4% (not seasonally adjusted) since mid-2013, which is below the state and
national levels. The City is home to Southdale Center, the nation's first fully enclosed climate-
controlled regional shopping mall, Fairview Southdale hospital, as well as several corporate
headquarters. In addition to its healthy economy, Edina is known for excellent public schools, as the
Edina school system has been consistently selected as one of the best in the country. Ninety-eight
percent of students graduate, with eighty-nine percent pursuing some sort of post-secondary
education.

## Market Value and Tax Capacity Annual Changes
## Market Value
## Tax Capacity
The City collects property taxes based on tax capacity, which roughly equals estimated market value
multiplied by class rates for different types of parcels (commercial, residential, etc.). Class rates are
set by state statute. Tax capacity for real estate increased 3.4% in 2024 for taxes payable in 2025
and remained positive for the eleventh consecutive year.
All these factors above were considered in preparing the City's budget for the 2025 fiscal year. The
City's adopted 2025 budget includes a property tax levy of $59,010,154 for all funds, an increase of
8.4% from the 2024 levy, with the increase being attributed to the scheduled increase to the street
reconstruction levy, which will eventually replace special assessments for road reconstruction. The
increased levies are also for the City's equipment replacement expenditures, HRA operating
expenditures, and general operating levy.

Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in the Statement
of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives as depreciation
expense:
Capital outlays

Depreciation/amortization expense
(11,785,984)

The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds,
while repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources
of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also,
governmental funds reported the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is
first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities:

between actual employer contributions and accrual basis pension costs is reflected in pension
expense:

## Notes to Basic Financial Statements
## NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Edina (the City) was incorporated in 1888 and operates under the state of Minnesota
Statutory Plan B form of government. The governing body consists of a five-member City Council
elected by voters of the City.
The financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America as applied to governmental units by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies.
## A. Reporting Entity
The City's financial reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government, (b) organizations for
which the primary government is financially accountable, and (c) other organizations for which the
nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion
would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The primary
government is financially accountable for the component unit if it appoints a voting majority of the
component unit's governing body and is able to impose its will on the component unit or there is a
potential for the component unit to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial
burdens on, the primary government.
As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the
financial statements of the reporting entity include those of the City of Edina (the primary
government) and its component units. The component unit discussed below is included in the City's
reporting entity because of the significance of its operational or financial relationships with the City.
## Component Unit
In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the
financial statements of the component unit have been included in the financial reporting entity
as a blended component unit.
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is an entity legally separate from the City.
However, for financial reporting purposes, the HRA is reported as if it were part of the City's
operations for two reasons. First, the HRA's governing body is substantively the same as the
governing body of the City. Specifically, the HRA board consists of five members, all of which are
City Council members. Second, management of the City has operational responsibility for the
HRA. Specifically, sales of bonds or other obligations of the HRA are approved by the City
Council; the HRA follows the budget process for City departments in accordance with City policy;
the annual HRA budget is approved by City Council; the HRA submits its plan for development and
redevelopment to the City Council for approval; lastly, the administrative structure and
management practices and policies of the HRA are approved by the City Council. The activity of
the HRA is reported in the Special Revenue Funds. Separate financial statements are not
prepared for the HRA.
## B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of
activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City. Governmental
activities, which normally are supported by taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other
nonexchange transactions, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a
significant extent on fees and charges for support.
Page 181 of 401
46
## City of Edina
## Notes to Basic Financial Statements
## NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
## B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function
or business-type activity are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or business-type activity. Program revenues include 1) charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges
provided by a given function or business-type activity and 2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or business
type activity. Taxes and other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary
funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate
columns in the fund financial statements. Aggregated information for the remaining nonmajor
governmental and enterprise funds is reported in a single column in the fund financial statements.
## C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial
statements. The City's only fiduciary fund type, custodial funds, are custodial in nature and use the
economic resources measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes
are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are
recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as
they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current
period.
For this purpose, the City considers all revenues, except reimbursement grants, to be available if
they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are
recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, other postemployment
benefits (OPEB), net pension liabilities, and claims and judgments are recorded only when payment
is due.
Property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services and interest
associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have
been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments
receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue
of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only
when cash is received by the City.

## NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – This fund is the government's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Housing and Redevelopment Authority Fund – This fund is used to account for
revenues from several sources (property taxes, bond proceeds, investment earnings, etc.) that
are restricted for housing and redevelopment.
Debt Service Fund – This fund accounts for the payment of principal and interest on General
Obligation, Permanent Improvement Revolving, and Public Project Revenue Bonds.
Capital Projects Construction Fund – This fund accounts for the various special assessment and
state aid projects throughout the City. This fund also provides financing for capital improvements
as restricted in the City's capital improvement budget.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Utilities Fund – This fund accounts for the provision of water, sewer, storm, and recycling
services to the City's residents.
Liquor Fund – This fund accounts for the operation of the City's three liquor stores.
Aquatic Center Fund – This fund accounts for the operation of the City's aquatic center.
Golf Course Fund – This fund accounts for the operation of the City's two golf courses and a golf
dome.
Arena Fund – This fund accounts for the operation of the City's ice arena.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds – The risk management, equipment operations, information technology, and
facilities management internal service funds account for costs of insurance and risk management
programs, equipment operations, IT services, and facilities management across all municipal
departments. Internal service funds operate in a manner similar to enterprise funds; however, it
provides services primarily to other departments within the City.
Custodial Funds – The Police Seizure, Public Safety Training Facility, and Minnesota Task Force 1
funds account for fees collected for other government agencies.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are transactions that would be treated as
revenues, expenditures or expenses if they involved external organizations, such as buying goods and
services or payments in lieu of taxes, are similarly treated when they involve other funds of the City
of Edina. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported
for the various functions concerned.

## City of Edina
## Notes to Basic Financial Statements
## NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods,
services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and
contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general
revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary Funds – These funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating
items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal
operating revenues of the City's enterprise funds and internal service fund are charges to customers
for sales and services. Operating expenses for the enterprise funds and internal service fund include
the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All
revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and
expenses.
Aggregated information for the internal service funds is reported in a single column in the
proprietary fund financial statements. These services have been allocated proportionately to
governmental and business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The cost of
these services is reported in the appropriate functional activity.
Depreciation expense is included in the direct expenses of each function. Interest on long-term debt
is considered an indirect expense and is reported separately on the Statement of Activities.
D. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position or Equity
1. Deposits and Investments
a. Cash and Investments
The cash balances of the City and its component unit are pooled and invested for the purpose
of increasing earnings through investment activities. The pool's investments are reported at
fair value at year-end, except for investments in external investment pools, which are stated
at amortized cost. The City has the ability and intent to hold its investments to maturity. The
individual funds' portions of the pool's fair value are presented as "Cash and investments."
Earnings from such investments are allocated to the respective funds on the basis of
applicable cash balance participation by each fund. The City provides temporary advances to
funds that have insufficient cash and investment balances by means of an advance from
another fund shown as interfund receivables in the advancing fund, and an interfund payable
in the fund with the deficit, until adequate resources are received. These interfund balances
are eliminated on the government-wide financial statements.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The hierarchy is
based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other
observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
Debt securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using evaluations
based on various market and industry inputs. The City does not have Level 3 investments.
See Note 2 for the City's recurring fair value measurements as of the current year-end.

1. Deposits and Investments (Continued)
## b. Restricted Cash and Investments
Restricted cash and investments represent bond proceeds held for specific purposes. Earnings
on these investments are allocated directly to these funds.
## c. Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid debt
instruments with an original maturity from the time of purchase by the City of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. The proprietary funds' portion in the government-wide cash
and investment management pool is considered to be cash equivalent.
2. Receivables and Payables
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods
provided or services rendered. Short-term interfund loans are classified as "due to/from other
funds." All short-term interfund receivables and payables at December 31, 2025 are planned to be
eliminated in 2026. Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and
business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal
balances."
Property taxes and special assessments receivables have been reported net of estimated
uncollectible accounts. Because utility bills are considered liens on property, no estimated
uncollectible amounts are established. Uncollectible amounts are not material for other
receivables and have not been reported.
## 3. Property Taxes
The City Council annually adopts a tax levy and certifies it to the County in December
(levy/assessment date) of each year for collection in the following year. The County is
responsible for billing and collecting all property taxes for itself, the City, the local School
District, and other taxing authorities. Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are recorded as
receivables by the City at that date. Real property taxes are payable (by property owners) on
May 15 and October 15 of each calendar year. Personal property taxes are payable by taxpayers
on February 28 and June 30 of each year. These taxes are collected by the County and remitted
to the City on or before July 7 and December 2 of the same year. Delinquent collections for
November and December are received the following January. The City has no ability to enforce
payment of property taxes by property owners. The County possesses this authority.
## a. Government-Wide Financial Statements
The City recognizes property tax revenue in the period for which the taxes were levied.
Uncollectible property taxes are not material and have not been reported.

3. Property Taxes (Continued)
## b. Governmental Fund Financial Statements
The City recognizes property tax revenue when it becomes both measurable and available to
finance expenditures of the current period. In practice, current and delinquent taxes and
state credits received by the City in July, December, and January are recognized as revenue
for the current year. Taxes collected by the County by December 31 (remitted to the City the
following January) and taxes and credits not received at the year-end are classified as
delinquent and due from County taxes receivable. The portion of delinquent taxes not
collected by the City in January are fully offset by deferred inflows of resources because they
are not available to finance current expenditures.
## 4. Special Assessments
Special assessments are levied against benefited properties for the cost or a portion of the cost of
special assessment improvement projects in accordance with state statutes. These assessments
are collectible by the City over a term of years usually consistent with the term of the related
bond issue. Collection of annual installments (including interest) is handled by the County Auditor
in the same manner as property taxes. Property owners are allowed to (and often do) prepay
future installments without interest or prepayment penalties.
Once a special assessment roll is adopted, the amount attributed to each parcel is a lien upon
that property until full payment is made or the amount is determined to be excessive by the City
Council or court action. If special assessments are allowed to go delinquent, the property is
subject to tax forfeit sale. Pursuant to state statutes, a property shall be subject to a tax forfeit
sale after three years unless it is homesteaded, agricultural, or seasonal recreational land in
which event the property is subject to such sale after five years.
## a. Government-Wide Financial Statements
The City recognizes special assessment revenue in the period that the assessment roll was
adopted by the City Council. Uncollectible special assessments are not material and have not
been reported.

delinquent special assessments received by the City are recognized as revenue for the current
year. Special assessments that are collected by the County by December 31 (remitted to the
City the following January) are also recognized as revenue for the current year. All remaining
delinquent, deferred, and special deferred assessments receivable in governmental funds are
completely offset by deferred inflows of resources. The following is a breakdown of special
assessments receivable at December 31, 2025:

Inventories of the proprietary funds are stated at cost and are recorded as expenses when
consumed rather than when purchased. All inventories use the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method.
## 6. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements and are
recorded as expenditures or expenses when consumed.
## 7. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, buildings, improvements, equipment, parks,
infrastructure assets (roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), and intangible assets such as
easements, are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in
the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are also reported in the proprietary
fund financial statements but not in the governmental fund financial statements.

7. Capital Assets (Continued)
Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more
than $25,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. Assets
in the aggregate of over $50,000 will be recognized as a capital asset even if the per unit value is
under $25,000. Easements with a value of $100,000 or more and a useful life of over one year will
be recognized as a capital asset. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated
acquisition value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do
not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Infrastructure assets include all of the City's assets since inception.
Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Capital assets that are not depreciated include land, easements, and construction in progress.
Right-to-use lease assets are initially measured at the present value of payments expected to be
made during the lease term, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease
commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized
in a systematic and rational manner over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the
underlying asset.
SBITA assets are initially measured as the sum of the present value of payments expected to be
made during the subscription term, payments associated with the SBITA contract made to the
SBITA vendor at the commencement of the subscription term, when applicable, and capitalizable
implementation costs, less any SBITA vendor incentives received form the SBITA vendor at the
commencement of the SBITA term. SBITA assets are amortized in a systematic and rational
manner over the shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT assets.

(Continued)
8. Leases
The City determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases are included in lease
receivables and deferred inflows of resources in the statements of net position and fund financial
statements.
Lease receivables represent the City's claim to receive lease payments over the lease term, as
specified in the contract, in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Lease receivables are
recognized at commencement date based on the present value of expected lease payments over
the lease term, reduced by any provision for estimated uncollectible amounts. Interest revenue is
recognized ratably over the contract term.
Deferred inflows of resources related to leases are recognized at the commencement date based
on the initial measurement of the lease receivable, plus any payments received from the lessee
at or before the commencement of the lease term that relate to future periods, less any lease
incentives paid to, or on behalf of, the lessee at or before the commencement of the lease term.
The deferred inflows related to leases are recognized as lease revenue in a systematic and
rational manner over the lease term.
The City determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases are included in lease assets
and lease liabilities in the statements of net position.
## 9. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay
benefits. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund
financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they
have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. In accordance
with the provisions of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
no liability is recorded for nonvesting accumulating rights to receive sick pay benefits. However,
a liability is recognized in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements for
that portion of accumulating sick leave benefits that is vested as severance pay or is more likely
than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means.
According to City policy, vested sick leave benefits are liquidated into a health care savings plan
upon separation.
## 10. State-Wide Pension Plans
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and
pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees
Retirement Association (PERA) and additions to/deductions from the PERA's fiduciary net position
have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the PERA except that the PERA's
fiscal year-end is June 30. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized as of employer
payroll paid dates and benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in
accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Pension liabilities are liquidated by various governmental funds based on where the
corresponding employees' salaries are allocated.

(Continued)
## 11. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement
of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the
bond using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond
premium or discount. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond
premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face
amount of debt issued plus any premium received is reported as other financing sources.
Discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not
withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
## 12. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section
for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows
of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will
not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The City has two
items which qualifies for reporting in this category.
Deferred outflows of resources related to pensions and OPEB are reported in the government-
wide and enterprise funds statement of net position. These deferred outflows result from
differences between expected and actual experience, changes of assumptions, differences
between projected and actual investment earnings, changes in proportion, and contributions to
the plan subsequent to the measurement date and before the end of the reporting period. These
amounts are deferred and amortized as required under pension and OPEB standards.
In addition to liabilities, statements of financial position or balance sheets will sometimes report
a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element
represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods and so will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has four items which
qualify for reporting in this category.
Unavailable revenue is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental
funds report unavailable revenue from three sources: property taxes, special assessments, and
amounts due from other governments. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow
of resources in the period the amounts become available.
Deferred inflows of resources related to leases are reported in the government-wide and fund
financial statements. These deferred inflows represent future revenues related to long-term
lease receivables.
Deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and OPEB are reported in the government-wide
and enterprise fund statement of net position. These deferred inflows result from differences
between expected and actual experience, changes of assumptions, and the difference between
projected and actual investment earnings, and are amortized as required under pension and OPEB
standards.

(Continued)
## 13. Interfund Transactions
Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues, expenditures, or expenses.
Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/ expenses initially made
from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in
the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed.
Interfund loans are reported as an interfund loan receivable or payable which offsets the
movement of cash between funds. All other interfund transactions are reported as transfers and
are eliminated to the extent possible on the government-wide statements.
## 14. Fund Balance Classification
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications that
disclose constraints for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications are as
follows:
Nonspendable – Consists of amounts that are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items,
inventory, and other long-term assets.
Restricted – Consists of amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by
creditors, grantors, or contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed – Consists of internally imposed constraints that are established by resolution of
the City Council. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the
City Council removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action it
employed to previously commit those amounts.
Assigned – Consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints consist of amounts
intended to be used by the City for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be
classified as restricted or committed. In the general fund, assigned amounts represent
intended uses established by the City Council. In the fund balance policy, authority to assign
amounts for specific purposes is limited to the City Council.
Unassigned – The residual classification for the general fund which also reflects negative
residual amounts in other funds.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to
first use restricted resources, then use unrestricted resources as needed.
When committed, assigned, or unassigned resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to
use resources in the following order: 1) committed, 2) assigned, and 3) unassigned.

(Continued)
## 15. Net Position
In the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, net position represents the
difference between assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of
resources. Net position is displayed in three components:
Net Investment in Capital Assets – Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation,
reduced by the outstanding balance of any long-term debt used to build or acquire the capital
assets.
Restricted Net Position – Consists of net position restricted when there are limitations
imposed on their use through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or
regulations of other governments.
Unrestricted Net Position – All other net position that do not meet the definition of
"restricted" or "net investment in capital assets."
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to
first use restricted resources and then use unrestricted resources as they are needed.
16. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates that affect
amounts reported in the financial statements during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from such estimates.
## NOTE 2 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
## A. Deposits
In accordance with applicable Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at depository banks
authorized by the City Council, including checking accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of
deposit.
The following is considered the most significant risk associated with deposits:
Custodial Credit Risk: In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the
City's deposits may be lost.
Minnesota Statutes require that all deposits be protected by federal deposit insurance, corporate
surety bond, or collateral. The market value of collateral pledged must equal 110% of the deposits
not covered by federal deposit insurance or corporate surety bonds. Authorized collateral includes
treasury bills, notes, and bonds; issues of U.S. government agencies; general obligations rated "A" or
better; revenue obligations rated "AA" or better; irrevocable standard letters of credit issued by the
Federal Home Loan Bank; and certificates of deposit. Minnesota Statutes require that securities
pledged as collateral be held in safekeeping in a restricted account at the Federal Reserve Bank or in
an account at a trust department of a commercial bank or other financial institution that is not
owned or controlled by the financial institution furnishing the collateral. The City's investment policy
does not contain further restrictions on the types of collateral required.

## City of Edina
## Notes to Basic Financial Statements
## NOTE 2 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
## A. Deposits (Continued)
At year-end, the carrying amount of the City's deposits was $220,783 while the balance on the bank
records was $69,436. At December 31, 2025, all of the City's deposits were properly collateralized in
accordance with state statutes.
## B. Investments
Investments are subject to various risks, the following of which are considered the most significant:
Custodial Credit Risk: This is the risk that in the event of a failure of the counterparty to an
investment transaction (typically a broker-dealer) the City would not be able to recover the value
of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City's
investment policy specifically addresses custodial credit risk, requiring the City to limit its
exposure by purchasing insured or registered investments, or by the control of who holds the
securities.
Credit Risk: This is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill
its obligations. Minnesota Statutes limit the City's investments to direct obligations or obligations
guaranteed by the United States or its agencies; shares of investment companies registered under
the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 that receive the highest credit rating, are rated in
one of the two highest rating categories by a statistical rating agency, and all of the investments
have a final maturity of thirteen months or less; general obligations rated "AA" or better; general
obligations of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency rated "A" or better; bankers' acceptances of
United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System; commercial paper
issued by United States corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries, rated of the highest quality
category by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies, and maturing in 270 days or less;
Guaranteed Investment Contracts guaranteed by a United States commercial bank, domestic
branch of a foreign bank, or a United States insurance company, and with a credit quality in one
of the top two highest categories; repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements and securities
lending agreements with financial institutions qualified as a "depository" by the government
entity, with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System with capitalization exceeding
$10,000,000, that are a primary reporting dealer in U.S. government securities to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, or certain Minnesota securities broker-dealers. The City's investment
policies specifically address credit risk, further limiting the City's exposure to credit risk by
requiring that all state and local government obligations to be rated "AA" or better by a national
rating agency.
Concentration Risk: This is the risk associated with investing a significant portion of the City's
investment (considered 5% or more) in the securities of a single issuer, excluding U.S. guaranteed
investments (such as Treasuries), investment pools, and mutual funds. The City's investment
policies specifically address the City's desire to limit concentration risk, but do not set specific
guidelines for measurement of this risk. At year-end, there were no required disclosures for
concentration risk.

## NOTE 2 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
## B. Investments (Continued)
Interest Rate Risk: This is the risk of potential variability in the fair value of fixed rate
investment resulting in changes in interest rates (the longer the period for which an interest rate
is fixed, the greater the risk). The City's investment policies specifically address the City's desire
to limit interest rate risk, but do not set specific guidelines for measurement of this risk.

## NOTE 8 – PENSION PLANS
The City participates in various pension plans. Total pension expense for the year ended
December 31, 2025 was $2,481,814. The components of pension expense are noted in the following
plan summaries.
The General Fund and Utility Funds typically liquidate the liability related to the pensions.
## Public Employees' Retirement Association
## A. Plan Description
The City participates in the following cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans
administered by PERA. PERA's defined benefit pension plans are established and administered in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes Chapters 353, 353D, 353E, 353G, and 356. Minnesota Statutes
Chapter 356 defines each plan's financial reporting requirements. PERA's defined benefit pension
plans are tax qualified plans under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

## City of Edina
## Notes to Basic Financial Statements
## NOTE 8 – PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)
## Public Employees' Retirement Association (Continued)
## A. Plan Description (Continued)
## General Employees Retirement Plan
Membership in the General Plan includes employees of counties, cities, townships, schools in non-
certified positions, and other governmental entities whose revenues are derived from taxation, fees,
or assessments. Plan membership is required for any employee who is expected to earn more than
$425 in a month, unless the employee meets exclusion criteria.
## Public Employees Police and Fire Plan
Membership in the Police and Fire Plan includes full-time, licensed police officers and firefighters
who meet the membership criteria defined in Minnesota Statutes § 353.64 and who are not earning
service credit in any other PERA retirement plan or a local relief association for the same service.
Employers can provide Police and Fire Plan coverage for part-time positions and certain other public
safety positions by submitting a resolution adopted by the City's governing body. The resolution must
state that the position meets plan requirements.
## B. Benefits Provided
PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by state
statute and can only be modified by the state Legislature. Vested, terminated employees who are
entitled to benefits, but are not receiving them yet, are bound by the provisions in effect at the time
they last terminated their public service. When a member is vested, they have earned enough
service credit to receive a lifetime monthly benefit after leaving public service and reaching an
eligible retirement age. Members who retire at or over their Social Security full retirement age with
at least one year of service qualify for a retirement benefit.
## General Employees Plan Benefits
General Employees Plan requires three years of service to vest. Benefits are based on a member's
highest average salary for any 5 successive years of allowable service, age, and years of credit at
termination of service. Two methods are used to compute benefits for General Plan members.
Members hired prior to July 1, 1989, receive the higher of Step or Level formulas. Only the Level
formula is used for members hired after June 30, 1989. Under the Step formula, General Plan
members receive 1.2% of the highest average salary for each of the first 10 years of service and 1.7%
for each additional year. Under the Level formula, General Plan members receive 1.7% of the highest
average salary for all years of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full retirement
benefit is available when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65.
Members can receive a reduced requirement benefit as early as age 55 if they have three or more
years of service. Early retirement benefits are reduced by .25% for each month under age 65.
Members with 30 or more years of service can retire at any age with a reduction of .25% for each
month the member is younger than age 62. The Level formula allows General Plan members to
receive a full retirement benefit at age 65 if they were first hired before July 1, 1989 or at age 66 if
they were hired on or after July 1, 1989. Early retirement begins at age 55 with an actuarial
reduction applied to the benefit.

## Notes to Basic Financial Statements
## NOTE 8 – PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)
## Public Employees' Retirement Association (Continued)
## B. Benefits Provided (Continued)
## General Employees Plan Benefits (Continued)
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The postretirement increase is
equal to 50% of the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) announced by the SSA, with a minimum increase
of at least 1% and a maximum of 1.5%. The 2025 annual increase was 1.25%. Recipients that have
been receiving the annuity or benefit for at least a full year as of the June 30 before the effective
date of the increase will receive the full increase. Recipients receiving the annuity or benefit for at
least one month but less than a full year as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase
will receive a reduced prorated increase.
## Police and Fire Plan Benefits
Benefits for the Police and Fire Plan members hired before July 1, 2010, are vested after three years
of service. Members hired on or after July 1, 2010, are 50% vested after five years of service and
100% vested after 10 years. After five years, vesting increase by 10% each full year of service until
members are 100% vested after 10 years. Police and Fire Plan members receive 3% of highest average
salary for all years of service. Police and Fire Plan members receive a full retirement benefit when
they are 55 and vested, or when their age plus their years of service equals 90 or greater if they
were first hired before July 1, 1989. Early retirement starts at age 50, and early retirement benefits
are reduced by 0.417% each month members are younger than age 55.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The post-retirement increase is
fixed at 1%. Recipients that have been receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 36 months as of
the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive the full increase. Recipients
receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 25 months but less than 36 months as of the June 30
before the effective date of the increase will receive a reduced prorated increase.
## C. Contributions
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353, 353E, 353G, and 356 set the rates for employer and employee
contributions. Contribution rates can only be modified by the state Legislature.

The State of Minnesota contributed $18 million to the Police and Fire Fund in the plan fiscal year
ended June 30, 2025. The contribution consisted of $9 million in direct state aid that meets the
definition of a special funding situation and $9 million in supplemental state aid that does not meet
the definition of a special funding situation. The $9 million direct state aid was paid on
October 1, 2024. The direct state aid payment will increase by $17.7 million, which was paid on
October 1, 2025. Thereafter, by October 1 of each year, the State will pay $26.7 million to the Police
and Fire Fund until the fund is 110% funded for a minimum of three consecutive years (on an
actuarial value of assets basis). The $9 million in supplemental state aid will continue until the fund
and the State Patrol Plan (administered by the Minnesota State Retirement System) are 100% funded
for three consecutive years (on an actuarial value of assets basis). The State of Minnesota's
proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the City totaled $353,175.

## E. Long-Term Expected Return on Investment
The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the
reasonableness on a regular basis of the long-term expected rate of return using a building-block
method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future rates of return are developed for each
major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce an expected long-term rate of return by
weighting the expected future rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. The target
allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are
summarized in the following table:

## F. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The total pension liability for each of the cost-sharing defined benefit plans was determined by an
actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2025, using the entry-age normal actuarial cost method. The long-
term rate of return on pension plan investments used to determine the total liability is 7.0%. The
7.0% assumption is based on a review of inflation and investments return assumptions from a number
of national investment consulting firms. The review provided a range of investment return rates
considered reasonable by the actuary. An investment return of 7.0% is within that range.
Inflation is assumed to be 2.25% for the General Employees Plan and 2.25% for the Police and Fire
Plan. Benefit increases after retirement are assumed to be 1.5% for the General Employees Plan and
1% for the Police and Fire Plan.
Salary growth assumptions in the General Employees Plan range in annual increments from 11.5%
after one year of service to 3.0% after 27 years of service. In the Police and Fire Plan, salary growth
assumptions range in annual increments from 10.75% after one year of service to 3.0% after 23 years
of service.
Mortality rates for the General Employees Plan are based on the Pub-2010 General Employee
Mortality Table. Mortality rates for the Police and Fire Plan are based on the Pub-2010 Public Safety
Employee Mortality tables. The tables are adjusted slightly to fit PERA's experience.
Actuarial assumptions for the General Employees Plan are reviewed every four years. The General
Employees Plan was last reviewed in 2022. The assumption changes were adopted by the Board and
became effective with the July 1, 2023, actuarial valuation. The Police and Fire Plan was reviewed in
2024. The assumption changes were adopted by the board and became effective with the
July 1, 2025, actuarial valuation.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2025:
## General Employees Fund
## Changes in Actuarial Assumptions
• The combined service annuity loading factors increased from 15% to 19% for vested
terminated members and from 3% to 44% for non-vested, terminated members. The assumed
post-retirement benefit increase changed from 1.25% to 1.5%.
## Changes in Plan Provisions
• The post-retirement benefit increase formula changed to 100% of the Social Security annual
increase, between 1% and 1.75%, beginning January 1, 2026. If the funded ratio (on a market
value of assets basis) is less than 85% for the last two consecutive annual valuations or is less
than 80% in the most recent actuarial valuation, the maximum is reduced to 1.5%. Previously,
the benefit increase was 50% of the Social Security annual increase, between 1% and 1.5%.
• The 1% additional employer contribution is eliminated when the plan reaches 98% funded status
(on an actuarial value of assets basis); this contribution was previously scheduled to stop when
the plan reached 100% funded status.

## G. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2025 was 7.0%. The projection of
cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from Plan members and
employers will be made at rates set in Minnesota Statutes. Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary
net positions of the General Employees and Police and Fire Plans were projected to be available to
make all projected future benefit payments of current Plan members. Therefore, the long-term
expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit
payments to determine the total pension liability.

## Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (Defined Contribution Plan)
Board members of the City are covered by the DCP, a multiemployer deferred compensation plan
administered by PERA. The DCP is a tax qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the IRC and all
contributions by or on behalf of employees are tax deferred until time of withdrawal. Plan benefits
depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings, less administrative
expense. Minnesota Statues, Chapter 353D.03, specifies plan provisions, including the employee and
employer contribution rates for those qualified personnel who elect to participate. An eligible
elected official who decides to participate contributes 5.0% of salary which is matched by the
elected official's employer. For ambulance service personnel, employer contributions are determined
by the employer, and for salaried employees must be a fixed percentage of salary.

## Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (Defined Contribution Plan)
The defined contribution plan consists of individual accounts paying a lump-sum benefit. Plan
benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings, less
administrative expenses; therefore, there is no future liability to the City. Minnesota Statutes
Chapter 353D and 356, specifies plan provisions, including the employee and employer contribution
rates for those qualified personnel who elect to participate. An eligible elected official who decides
to participate contributes 5% of salary which is matched by the elected official's employer. For
ambulance service personnel, employer contributions are determined by the employer, and for
salaried employees must be a fixed percent of salary. Employer contributions for volunteer personnel
may be a unit value for each call or period of alert duty.
Employees who are paid for their services may elect to make member contributions in an amount not
to exceed the employer share. Employer and employee contributions are combined and used to
purchase shares in one or more of the seven accounts of the Minnesota Supplemental Investment
Fund. For administering the plan, PERA receives 2% of employer contributions and twenty-five
hundredths of 1% (.25%) of the assets in each member's account annually.
Pension expense for the year is equal to the contributions made. Total contributions made by the
City during fiscal year 2025 were:

## NOTE 9 – MULTIEMPLOYER DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
City employees belonging to International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) are participants in a
multiemployer defined benefit pension plan Central Pension Fund of the International Union of
Operating Engineers and Participating Employers (CRF) administered by the board of trustees of the
Central Pension Fund. The plan is a cost-sharing pension plan that is not a state or local
governmental pension plan, is used to provide defined benefit pensions both to employers that are
not state or local governmental employers, and has no predominant state or local government
employer. The plan issues a publicly available financial report located on their website at
www.cpfiuoe.org.
The City has 60 employees who are covered by the pension plan. The plan provides benefits such as
monthly retirement income, special and early retirement benefits, postretirement surviving spouse
benefits, and disability benefits. The CPF is a supplemental Pension Fund authorized by Minnesota
Statutes § 356.24, subdivision 1(9). The CPF Plan of Benefits and the Agreement and Declaration of
Trust will serve as the governing documents.

## City of Edina
## Notes to Basic Financial Statements
## NOTE 9 – MULTIEMPLOYER DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED)
The City's contributions to the plan are pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement with the IUOE
which will expire December 31, 2026. The required contribution rate is $1.25 per hour, which is
applied to all compensated hours, and capped at $5,000 per year. Total employer contributions for
the year ended December 31, 2025, were $139,333. With regard to withdrawal from the pension
plan, the parties agree that the amount that would otherwise be paid in salary or wages will be
contributed instead to the CPF as pretax employer contributions.
## NOTE 10 – POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE PLAN
## A. Plan Description
The City provides postemployment insurance benefits to certain eligible employees through its OPEB
Plan, a single-employer defined benefit plan administered by the City. All post-employment benefits
are based on contractual agreements with employee groups. Eligibility for these benefits is based on
years of service and/or minimum age requirements. These contractual agreements do not include
any specific contribution or funding requirements. The plan does not issue a publicly available
financial report. No plan assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of
GASB Statement No. 75.
## B. Benefits Provided
All retirees of the City upon retirement have the option under state law to continue their medical
insurance coverage through the City from the time of retirement until the employee reaches the age
of eligibility for Medicare. For members of all employee groups, the retiree must pay the full
premium to continue coverage for medical and dental insurance.
The City is legally required to include any retirees for whom it provides health insurance coverage in
the same insurance pool as its active employees, whether the premiums are paid by the city or the
retiree. Consequently, participating retirees are considered to receive a secondary benefit known as
an "implicit rate subsidy". This benefit relates to the assumption that the retiree is receiving a more
favorable premium rate than they would otherwise be able to obtain if purchasing insurance on their
own, due to being included in the same pool with the City's younger and statistically healthier active
employees.
For police officers and firefighters disabled in the line-of-duty, Minnesota Statues require the City to
continue payment of the employer's contribution toward health coverage for the police officer or
firefighter and their spouse, if the spouse was covered at the time of disability, until age 65.
## C. Contributions
The required contribution is based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements, with
additional amounts to prefund benefits as determined periodically by the City. The City's current
year required pay-as-you-go contributions to finance the benefits described in the previous section
totaled $189,374. Total OPEB liability will be paid by the general fund and enterprise funds.

otherwise specified:
## Discount Rate
4.08%
Salary increases including inflation
Based on the PERA Plan in which the
employee is a participant.
Healthcare cost trend increases
7.45% for FY2024, gradually decreasing over
ten years to an ultimate rate of 4.0% in
FY2043 and later years.
Mortality assumption
PERA Coordinated: Rates from the most
recent PERA experience study from
July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2022.
PERA Police and Fire: Rates from the most
recent PERA experience study from
July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2023.
Key Methods and Assumptions Used in Valuation of Total OPEB Liability
The actuarial assumptions used in the latest valuation were based on those used to value pension
liabilities for Minnesota city employees. The state pension plans base their assumptions on periodic
experience studies. Economic assumptions are based on input from a variety of published sources of
historical and projected future financial data. Each assumption was reviewed for reasonableness with
the source information as well as for consistency with the other economic assumptions.
Since the plan is not funded by an irrevocable trust, the discount rate is equal to the 20-year
municipal bond yield rate of 4.08%, which was set by considering published rate information for 20-
year high quality, tax exempt, general obligation municipal bonds as of the measurement date. The
City discount rate used in the prior measurement date was 3.77%.
Mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 mortality tables adjusted for white collar and mortality
improvements using projection scale MP-2018, from a base year of 2014 for GERF members and MP-
2018, from a base year of 2006 for PEPFF members.

## C. Federal and State Funds
The City receives financial assistance from federal and state governmental agencies in the form of
grants. The disbursement of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance with
the terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and is subject to audit by the grantor
agencies. Any disallowed claims resulting from such audits could become a liability of the applicable
fund. However, in the opinion of management, any such disallowed claims will not have a material
effect on any of the financial statements of the individual fund types included herein or on the
overall financial position of the City at December 31, 2025.
## D. Tax Increment Districts
The City's tax increment districts are subject to review by the state of Minnesota Office of the State
Auditor (OSA). Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a liability of the
applicable fund. Management is not aware of any instances of noncompliance which would have
material effect on the financial statements.

## Nonmajor Governmental Funds
## Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for specific revenues that are restricted to expenditures
for particular purposes. The following are nonmajor special revenue funds:
## Community Development Block Grant Fund
This fund was established to account for funds received under Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974.
## Police Fund
This fund was established to account for funds received for specific purposes within the police
department, including E-911 and Forfeiture funds.
## Braemar Memorial Fund
This fund was established to account for funds donated to the City for the purpose of enhancing the
Braemar golf course with equipment and amenities that might not otherwise be affordable or viewed
as necessity to the golf course.
## Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety Fund
This fund was established to account for funds received from gas and electric franchise fees to be
used for pedestrian and cyclist improvements included in future street reconstruction projects.
## Conservation and Sustainability Fund
This fund was established to account for funds received from gas and electric franchise fees to be
used for initiatives focused on conservation and sustainability.
## Opioid Settlement Fund
This fund was established to account for funds that will be received over the next 18 years for the
City's share of national settlement agreements with several pharmaceutical companies related to
opioid selling and distribution. These funds are restricted to be used for opioid epidemic response
activities.
## Public Safety Fund
This fund was established to account for the 2023 Omnibus tax bill that included $210 million in one-
time public safety aid to cities across the state. Unlike local government aid, this aid cannot be used
for general purposes but instead must be used to "provide public safety". The City received
$2,344,327 on December 26, 2023.

a
Property in the City is assessed annually. Assessed value is equal to market value, although taxable value may be different, as shown.
The City receives reports from Hennepin County showing total market value, but not separated by property classification.
b
This value is estimated by the City Finance Department by taking City taxes as a rate of estimated market value (rate per $1,000 of
assessed value). The property tax system in Minnesota uses a tax capacity system whereby each parcel is assigned a tax capacity
based on taxable value and class. In Minnesota, local taxes are usually expressed as a percentage of this calculated tax capacity
(see column titled "City Tax Capacity Rate"). Therefore, this rate is only theoretical and shown for comparative purposes only.

Report on Matters Identified as a Result of
## the Audit of the Basic Financial Statements
## Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
## City of Edina
## Edina, Minnesota
In planning and performing our audit of the basic financial statements of the governmental activities,
business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
City of Edina, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable
to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General
of the United States, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting (internal
control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the
purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding
paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies
may exist that have not been identified. In addition, because of inherent limitations in internal
control, including the possibility of management override of controls, misstatements due to error, or
fraud may occur and not be detected by such controls. However, as discussed below, we identified a
certain deficiency in internal control that we consider to be a material weakness.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City's basic financial statements will not
be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A reasonable possibility exists when the
likelihood of an event occurring is either reasonably possible or probable as defined as follows:
• Reasonably possible. The chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote
but less than likely.
• Probable. The future event or events are likely to occur.
The material weakness identified is stated within this letter.
The City's written response to the material weakness identified in our audit has not been subjected
to audit procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we
express no opinion on it.

The accompanying memorandum also includes financial analysis provided as a basis for discussion.
The matters discussed herein were considered by us during our audit and they do not modify the
opinion expressed in our Independent Auditor's Report dated June 5, 2026, on such statements.
The purpose of this communication, which is an integral part of our audit, is to describe for the
Members of the City Council and management and others within the City and state oversight agencies
the scope of our testing of internal control and the results of that testing. Accordingly, this
communication is not intended to be and should not be used for any other purpose.

## Material Weakness
## Prior Period Restatement
During the audit, a prior period restatement was required to adjust beginning net position and fund
balance to correct an error in the prior period financial statements related to the HIA loan receivable
balance that was overstated as of December 31, 2024. This could adversely affect the City's ability to
present financial statements that are free of material misstatement.

We have audited the basic financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2025. Professional standards require that we advise you of the
following matters related to our audit.
## Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit
As communicated in our engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional
standards, is to form and express opinions about whether the basic financial statements prepared by
management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the basic
financial statements does not relieve you or management of its respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the basic financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit of the basic financial statements includes consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the
internal control of the City solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to
provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our
professional judgement, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting
process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other
matters to communicate to you.
Generally accepted accounting principles provide for certain Required Supplementary Information
(RSI) to supplement the basic financial statements. Our responsibility with respect to the RSI, which
supplements the basic financial statements, is to apply certain limited procedures in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards. However, the RSI was not audited and, because the
limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any
assurance, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
Our responsibility for the supplementary information accompanying the basic financial statements,
as described by professional standards, is to evaluate the presentation of the supplementary
information in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole and to report on whether the
supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial
statements as a whole.
Our responsibility with respect to the other information in documents containing the audited basic
financial statements and auditor's report does not extend beyond the basic financial information
identified in the report. We have no responsibility for determining whether this other information is
properly stated. This other information was not audited, and we do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on it.

## Our Responsibility in Relation to Government Auditing Standards
As communicated in our engagement letter, part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether
the basic financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the City's
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements,
noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of basic
financial statement amounts. However, the objective of our tests was not to provide an opinion on
compliance with such provisions.
## Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated
to you.
## Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence
The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, our firm, and our network firms have
complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.
## Significant Risks
We addressed the following significant risks of material misstatement identified in our planning
procedures:
• Management Override of Controls – Management override of internal control is considered a
risk in substantially all engagements as management may be incentivized to produce better
results.
• Misappropriation of Assets – If duties cannot be appropriately segregated, there is a risk of
unauthorized disbursements being made by the City. In addition, generally this results in less
review taking place as transactions are recorded in the financial statements.
• Improper Revenue Recognition – Revenue recognition is considered a fraud risk on
substantially all engagements as it generally has a significant impact on the results of the
government's operations. In addition, complexities exist surrounding the calculation and
recording of various revenue sources.
• Pension Valuation – Net Pension Liability, Deferred Outflows of Resources Related to Pensions,
and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions are generally material to the financial
statements and involve significant estimates.
• OPEB Valuation – Total OPEB Liability, Deferred Outflows of Resources Related to OPEB, and
Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB are generally material to the financial
statements and involve significant estimates.
• Lease Valuation – Lease receivable and related deferred inflows of resources are material to
the financial statements and involve significant estimates.
• Lease Valuation – Lease liability and right-to-use assets are material to the financial
statements and involve significant estimates.
## Qualitative Aspects of the City's Significant Accounting Practices
## Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of
the significant accounting policies adopted by the City is included in the notes to the basic financial
statements. There have been no initial selection of accounting policies and no changes to significant
accounting policies or their application during 2025. No matters have come to our attention that
would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account
for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in
controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.

## Significant Accounting Estimates and Related Disclosures
Accounting estimates and related disclosures are an integral part of the basic financial statements
prepared by management and are based on management's current judgements. Those judgements
are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions
about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their
significance to the basic financial statements and because of the possibility that future events
affecting them may differ markedly from management's current judgements. The most sensitive
estimates affecting the basic financial statements relate to:
Total Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) Liability, Deferred Outflows of Resources Related
to OPEB and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB – These balances are based on an
actuarial study using the estimates of future obligations of the City for post employment
benefits.
Net Pension Liability, Deferred Outflows of Resources Related to Pensions and Deferred Inflows of
Resources Related to Pensions – These balances are based on an allocation by the pension plans
using estimates based on contributions.
Lease Receivable, Deferred Inflows of Resources, Lease Liability and Right-to-Use Lease Assets –
These balances are based on estimates and judgments determined by the City related to the
discount rate, lease term, and lease payments.
Subscription Liability and Right-to-Use Subscription Assets – These balances are based on
estimates and judgments determined by the City related to the discount rate, subscription term,
and subscription payments.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the accounting estimates and
determined that they are reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole
and in relation to the applicable opinion units.
## Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain basic financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly
sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The basic financial statement
disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
## Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance
of the audit.
## Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For the purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known
and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial,
and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards
require us to also communicate the effects of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on
the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the basic financial
statements taken as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. Management did not identify, and we
did not notify them of any uncorrected financial statement misstatements.

## Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements (Continued)
In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected
misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit
procedures. None of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by
management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.
## Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a
matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or
auditing matter, which could be significant to the City's basic financial statements or the auditor's
report. No such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
## Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the
management representation letter.
## Management's Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters. Management has informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no
consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.
## Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the City, we generally discuss a variety of
matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, significant events
or transactions that occurred during the year, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the City,
and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of the
matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the City's auditor.
## Other Information Included in Annual Reports
Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for other information, whether
financial or nonfinancial, included in the City's annual reports, does not extend beyond the
information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to
corroborate such other information.
We applied certain limited procedures to the RSI that supplements the basic financial statements.
Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the
basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on the RSI.
With respect to the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements, we made
certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content and methods of preparing the
information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior
period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial
statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying
accounting records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial
statements themselves.

## Other Information Included in Annual Reports (Continued)
Our responsibility also includes communicating to you any information which we believe is a material
misstatement of fact. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information,
or its manner of presentation, is materially inconsistent with the information, or manner of its
presentation, appearing in the basic financial statements.

## Utilities Operations
The following graph illustrates the current operations of the Utilities Fund for the past five years.
Operating income is shown with and without depreciation below.
Operating revenue increased $2,447,959, or 7.7%, from 2024 due to an increase in rates and
consumption. Operating expenses increased by $1,016,090 or 4.5%. The increase is mainly due to an
increase in sewer rates to Met Council, the York Ave pond improvement, and annual storm
inspections. The net effect of the increased revenues and expenses is an operating income of
$10,818,920. This was an increase of $1,431,869 in the operating income reported in 2024.
Enterprise funds may be used to account for any activity in which a fee is charged. It is not required
to have the fee support the entire activity; however, the basic premise in establishing an enterprise
fund is that the activity will be operated similar to a business. Therefore, it is expected the
enterprise fund would at least be able to meet its obligations currently and into the future.

Accounting Standard Update – GASB Statement No. 103 – Financial Reporting Model
## Improvements
The objective of this Statement is to improve key components of the financial reporting model to
enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making and assessing
a government's accountability. This Statement also addresses certain application issues.
This Statement addresses 5 areas of the financial statements (1) Management's Discussion and
Analysis (MD&A), (2) Unusual or Infrequent Items, (3) Presentation of the Proprietary Fund Statement
of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position, (4) Major Component Unit Information,
and (5) Budgetary Comparison Information.
This Statement continues the requirement that the MD&A precede the basic financial statements as
part of the Required Supplementary Information (RSI). This Statement requires that the information
presented in MD&A be limited to the related topics discussed in five sections: (1) Overview of the
Financial Statements, (2) Financial Summary, (3) Detailed Analyses, (4) Significant Capital Asset and
Long-Term Financing Activity, and (5) Currently Known Facts, Decisions, or Conditions. The
Statement stresses that detailed analyses should explain why balances and results of operations
changed, rather than stating amounts and "boilerplate" discussions.
This Statement describes unusual or infrequent items as transactions and other events that are either
unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence. Furthermore, governments are required to display the
inflows and outflows related to each unusual or infrequent item separately as the last presented
flow(s) of resources prior to the net change in resource flows in the government-wide, governmental
fund, and proprietary fund statements of resource flows.
This Statement requires that the proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in
fund net position continue to distinguish between operating and nonoperating revenues and
expenses. The Statement provides clarification regarding operating and nonoperating revenues and
expenses. Also, this Statement requires that a subtotal for operating income (loss) and noncapital
subsidies be presented before reporting other nonoperating revenues and expenses.
This Statement requires governments to present each major component unit separately in the
reporting entity's statement of net position and statement of activities if it does not reduce the
readability of the statements. If the readability of those statements would be reduced, combining
statements of major component units should be presented after the fund financial statements.
This Statement requires governments to present budgetary comparison information using a single
method of communication - RSI. Governments also are required to present (1) variances between
original and final budget amounts and (2) variances between final budget and actual amounts. An
explanation of significant variances is required to be presented in notes to RSI.
GASB Statement No. 103 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025. Earlier
application is encouraged.

Accounting Standard Update – GASB Statement No. 104 – Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets
The objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential
information about certain types of capital assets.
This Statement requires certain types of capital assets continue to be disclosed separately in the
capital assets note disclosures including presentation of capital assets by major class and separate
disclosure of lease assets, subscription assets, and intangible right-to-use assets.
This Statement requires additional disclosures for capital assets held for sale. A capital asset is held
for sale if (a) the government has decided to pursue the sale of the capital asset and (b) it is
probable that the sale will be finalized within one year of the financial statement date.
Governments should disclose (1) the ending balance of capital assets held for sale, with separate
disclosure for historical cost and accumulated depreciation by major class of asset, and (2) the
carrying amount of debt for which the capital assets held for sale are pledged as collateral for each
major class of asset.
GASB Statement No. 104 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025. Earlier
application is encouraged.

and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of
## Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with
## Government Auditing Standards
## Independent Auditor's Report
## Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
## City of Edina
## Edina, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards),
the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Edina, Minnesota as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2025,
and the related notes to financial statements, which collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
June 5, 2026.
## Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal
control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the City's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough
to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of
this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We did identify certain deficiencies in internal
control, described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses on Internal Control that
we consider to be a material weakness as audit finding 2025-001.
Page 330 of 401
## Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free
from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
## City's Response to Finding
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City's
response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings
and Responses on Internal Control. The City's response was not subjected to the other auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion
on the response.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
City's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City of Edina, Minnesota as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025,
and the related notes to financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 5, 2026.
In connection with our audit, we noted that the City failed to comply with provisions of the claims
and disbursements of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities, promulgated by the
State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 6.65, insofar as they relate to accounting matters as
described in the Schedule of Findings and Responses on Internal Control as item 2025-002. Also, in
connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City
failed to comply with the provisions of the contracting – bid laws, depositories of public funds and
public investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, miscellaneous provisions, and tax
increment financing sections of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide, insofar as they relate
to accounting matters.
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City's
response to the legal compliance finding identified in our audit and described in the accompanying
Schedule of Findings and Responses on Internal Control. The City's response was not subjected to the
other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we
express no opinion on the response.
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of compliance and the results
of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not
suitable for any other purpose.

## City of Edina
Schedule of Findings and Responses on Internal Control and Legal Compliance
## CURRENT YEAR INTERNAL CONTROL FINDING:
## Audit Finding 2025-001
## Criteria:
Internal control that supports the City's ability to initiate record, process and report financial data
consistent with the assertions of management in the financial statements requires adequate
segregation of accounting duties.
## Condition:
During the audit, a prior period restatement was required to adjust beginning net position and fund
balance to correct an error in the prior period financial statements related to the HIA loan receivable
balance that was overstated as of December 31, 2024. This could adversely affect the City's ability to
present financial statements that are free of material misstatement.
## Context:
This finding impacts the internal control for all significant accounting functions.
## Cause:
The review of revenue balances, activity, and related financial statement presentation did not
identify an error that resulted in a prior period restatement.
## Effect or Potential Effect:
Internal controls affected the City's ability to initiate, record, process, and report financial data
consistent with the assertions of management in the basic financial statements as a prior period
restatement was required. Financial information could contain inaccurate information if
reconciliations are not reviewed timely.
## Recommendation:
We recommend management review all accounts closely at year-end to detect and correct
misstatements of balances.
## Views of Responsible Officials:
The City will review the financial statement closing and reporting process and improve internal
controls over financial reporting to better identify material misstatements.

## PRIOR YEAR INTERNAL CONTROL FINDING:
## Audit Finding 2024-001
During the course of our 2024 engagement, we proposed material audit adjustments that would not
have been identified as a result of the City's existing internal control system and, therefore, could
have resulted in material misstatements of the City's financial statements.
In order to ensure financial statements were free from material misstatement, audit adjustments
were required to adjust revenues, due from other governments and deferred inflows of resources
related to municipal state aid.
During the course of our 2025 engagement, no material adjustments were needed.

Schedule of Findings and Responses on Internal Control and Legal Compliance
## CURRENT AND PRIOR YEAR LEGAL COMPLIANCE FINDING:
## Audit Finding 2025-002
## Criteria:
Minnesota Statute § 471.425 requires municipalities to pay each vendor obligation according to the
terms of the contract, or if no contract terms apply, within the standard payment period, which is
defined as within 35 days from the date of the receipt for municipalities which have regularly
scheduled board meetings at least once a month.
## Condition:
We noted two invoices in our testing sample that were not paid by the City within the standard
payment period, as defined by Minnesota Statutes.
## Context:
Two of the twenty-five disbursements we selected for testing were not in compliance with Minnesota
Statue § 471.425.
## Cause:
The vendor did not provide the necessary tax identification information, W9, in a timely manner,
which caused a delay in processing the payment.
## Effect or Potential Effect:
The City was not in compliance with state statutes related to payment of local government bills.
## Recommendation:
We recommend the City work with all departments to ensure invoices are remitted to the finance
department for prompt payments.
## Views of Responsible Officials:
The City will work with all departments to ensure invoices are remitted to the finance department
for prompt payment.

## Action Requested:
Approve Resolution 2026-31 awarding the sale of $9,315,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2026A.
## Information/Background:
The issuance of the City's General Obligation Bonds, Series 2016A has two purposes:
• $3.3 million for the street reconstruction project of the Prospect Knolls A, C, and D; Parklawn and
72nd Street Sanitary expansion improvement projects. Payable from assessments over a 15-
year term.
• $6.4 million for water, sanitary sewer and stormwater costs of the street reconstruction projects
and various other utility capital improvements. Payable from the three utility fund revenues
over a 10-year term.
Bids will be received and tabulated by the City's financial advisor, Ehlers & Associates, Inc., on Tuesday,
June 16, and the results presented to the City Council that evening.
The City requested bond ratings from both Moody's and S&P. Both agencies assigned "AAA" rating to
this issuance. Credit strengths highlighted as "exceptionally strong" include:
• Affluent and robust economic base
• Very strong resident income ratio (slightly above 150% of the national median)
• Ongoing commercial and residential redevelopment that continues to grow the tax base
A credit challenge mentioned by S&P is moderate leverage likely to grow further because of
outstanding capital needs. Both S&P's and Moody's credit reports are available upon request.
A final resolution will be provided June 16th once the bond sale has been completed.

## Planning
Guide Plan designation: OR, Office Residential
Zoning: PID, Planned Industrial
## Issues/Considerations:
## Rezoning
As demonstrated below there is a mixture of zoning districts on this portion of 76
th
Street. The property to
the east is a multifamily residential PUD; to the south is property zoned PID but consist of an Edina Fire
Station and LA fitness (similar to a commercial use, but allowing in PID); and to the west is a bank zoned PID
(banks are also allowed in a commercial zoning district). The proposed use would be consistent with the
existing uses on the block.
Per Section 36-216 of the City Code, the Commission may recommend approval by the council based upon,
but not limited to, the factors below.
Is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides
this site for OR, Office Residential land uses. The following page describes the land use, development
character and density. Limited retail is considered a secondary use.
## Site
Page 371 of 401
## Categories Description, Land Uses Development Character
and Guidelines
## Density
and
## Intensity
## OR
## Office Residential
Transitional areas along major thoroughfares
or between higher intensity districts and
residential
districts. Many existing highway-oriented
commercial areas are
anticipated to transition to this more mixed-
use character.
Primary uses are offices, attached or
multifamily housing. Secondary uses:
Limited retail and service uses (not including
“big box" retail), limited
industrial (fully enclosed),
institutional uses, parks and open space.
Upgrade existing streetscape and
building appearance, improve
pedestrian and transit environment.
Encourage structured parking and
open space linkages where feasible;
emphasize the enhancement of the
pedestrian environment.
20 – 75 residential
dwelling units/acre
The Salvation Army is not a big‑box retailer. It is a non‑profit charitable organization that operates thrift
stores rather than large‑format retail superstores.
Will not be detrimental to properties surrounding the tract.
The site plan and building would not change. The existing building would be utilized as well as the existing
parking lot. Landscaping will be added to enhance the site. There are several uses in the area that are
somewhat similar to retail, including a bank to the west and a health club to the south.
Will not result in an overly intensive land use.
The building size would remain the same, a large portion would be used for storage and drop off. The
parking requirements would be met. A traffic and parking study was done by Stantec and concludes that
the existing roadways would support the project, and there would be enough parking. (See page 7-1 in the
attached traffic study.) The proposed secondhand store and donation drop off would generate less traffic
than the existing LA fitness located across the street.
Will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards.
Traffic study was done by Stantec and concludes that the existing roadways can support the project. (See
attached traffic study.)
Conforms to the provisions of this section and other applicable provisions of this Code.
Assuming the change to the Zoning Ordinance to allow the proposed use, the project would conform to
the PCD-2 ordinance standards. The side yard setback is an existing condition.
Page 372 of 401
Provides a proper relationship between the proposed improvements, existing structures, open space
and natural features.
There would be no building alteration or change in the parking lot. There will be added landscaping to
enhance the appearance of the site.
Zoning Ordinance Amendment. Per Sec. 36-608 (47) of the Edina Zoning Ordinance
“Secondhand stores, not exceeding 2,500 square feet of gross floor area, but excluding pawn shops”
are a permitted use in the PCD 1-3, Planned Commercial Zoning districts.
The applicant is proposing a Zoning Ordinance Amendment that would allow secondhand stores to
exceed 2,500 square feet in size in the PCD-Planned Commercial District. Below is the proposed
amendment; it would apply to all PCD Zoning Districts.
Section 1. Chapter 36, Article VIII, Division 8, Sec. 36-608 is hereby amended as follows:
Sec. 36-608. - Principal uses in the PCD-1 subdistrict.
(47) Secondhand stores, not exceeding 2,500 square feet of gross floor area, but excluding pawn shops.
Staff supports the ordinance amendment; secondhand stores, like Salvation Army or Goodwill, function
the same as any other retail use.
Staff conducted contacted Eden Prairie, St. Louis Park, Richfield and Bloomington. All allow secondhand
stores in their commercial zoning districts. They do not differentiate new vs. secondhand retail. Eden
Prairie allows retail in an industrial zone with a PUD with limited retail square feet. Edina is the only
city among our neighboring border cities that limit square feet and call out secondhand stores as a
distinct retail category.

## Parking
Based on the City Code requirement, Section 36-1311, the proposed parking spaces meet City Code. An
18,425 square foot retail store with a 9,434 square foot warehouse would require 79 parking stalls. The
existing site provides 80 parking stalls. The parking study concludes that 54 parking stalls would be
adequate.
## Site Circulation/Access/Traffic
Primary access to the proposed development would be off 76
th
Street. No changes are proposed from the
existing conditions. Stantec conducted a traffic study. The study concludes that the proposal can be
supported by the existing roadways. (See attached traffic study.)
## Landscaping
Based on the perimeter of the site, 32 overstory trees would be required. The proposed plans show 32
existing and proposed overstory trees on site. A full complement of understory shrubs and bushes are
also proposed.

## Living Streets/Multi-Modal Consideration
Sec. 36-1274. - Sidewalks, trails and bicycle facilities.
(a) In order to promote and provide safe and effective sidewalks and trails in the City and encourage the use of
bicycles for recreation and transportation, the following improvements are required, as a condition of
approval, on developments requiring the approval of a final development plan or the issuance of a conditional
use permit pursuant to article V of this chapter:
(1) It is the policy of the City to require the construction of sidewalks and trails wherever feasible so as to
encourage pedestrian and bicycle connectivity throughout the City. Therefore, developments shall
provide sidewalks and trails which adjoin the applicant's property:
a. In locations shown on the City's sidewalk and trail plan; and
b. In other locations where the council finds that the provision of such sidewalks and trails enhance
public access to mass transit facilities or connections to other existing or planned sidewalks, trails or
public facilities.
(2) Developments shall provide sidewalks between building entrances and sidewalks or trails which exist
or which will be constructed pursuant to this section.
(3) Developments shall provide direct sidewalk and trail connections with adjoining properties where
appropriate.
(4) Developments must provide direct sidewalk and trail connections to transit stations or transit stops
adjoining the property.
(5) Design standards for sidewalks and trails shall be prescribed by the engineer.
(6) Nonresidential developments having an off-street automobile parking requirement of 20 or more
spaces must provide off-street bicycle parking spaces where bicycles may be parked and secured from
theft by their owners. The minimum number of bicycle parking spaces required shall be five percent
of the automobile parking space requirement. The design and placement of bicycle parking spaces and
bicycle racks used to secure bicycles shall be subject to the approval of the city engineer. Whenever
possible, bicycle parking spaces shall be located within 50 feet of a public entrance to a principal
building.
(b) The expense of the improvements set forth in subsection (a) of this section shall be borne by the applicant.
The City’s Comprehensive Plan identifies a new sidewalk on the north side of 76
th
## Street. Therefore, a
boulevard-style sidewalk should be installed on the site. This shall be made a condition of approval.

## Item Title: Ordinance 2026-10 Amendment Regarding Reasonable Accommodations
## Action Requested:
Grant first reading of the Ordinance Amendment.
## Information/Background:
The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and Federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) require cities to ensure
individuals who have disabilities have equal access to housing and city programs or services. The ADA
requires equal access to city-provided programs, services, or property. The FHA applies to equal
opportunity to use and enjoy housing. Courts have interpreted the FHA to require consideration of
accommodation from zoning requirements if that may afford the individual the opportunity to live in a
residential dwelling.
If a specific disability-related barrier prevents an individual from achieving either of these goals, the
individual is permitted under the applicable federal law to request accommodation to address the
barrier they face. They may request a waiver or modification of city regulations, policies, services,
programs, or procedures, including zoning and housing regulations. Federal law sets the standard for
evaluating these requests and cities are not required to grant requests for reasonable
accommodation if they do not meet legal standards. However, federal law does not contain specific
instructions for how a city must process these requests. The purpose of this ordinance is to establish a
formal process for handling accommodation requests according to federal legal standards. This will
provide clarity to the public regarding how individuals may submit a reasonable accommodation
request.

## Ordinance 2026-10 Amendment Regarding Reasonable
## Accommodations
## The City Council of Edina, Minnesota Ordains:
Section 1. Chapter 2 - ADMINISTRATION of the Edina City Code is hereby amended to add a new Article
XI to read as follows:
## Article XI – REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION
Sec. 2-796. - Policy and intent.
The city has authority and a legitimate interest to impose regulations, policies, and procedures
protecting the public health, safety, and welfare, including regulating the use of land and
housing within its boundaries, and to establish programs and services beneficial to its
community. It is the policy and intent of the city to ensure that persons with disabilities have a
process by which to seek reasonable accommodation when programs or services may not be
equally accessible to them or when the application of city regulations, policies, or procedures
may not allow fair and equal access to housing pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act
and the Federal Fair Housing Act, including any amendments to such Acts.
Sec. 2-797. - Definitions.
The following words, terms, and phrases, when used in this article, shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
Disability means those disabilities or handicaps [PA1] which are recognized under the
Americans with Disabilities Act or the Federal Fair Housing Act, including amendments to such
Acts, as applicable.
Person means an individual with a disability.
Reasonable accommodation means a waiver or modification to the city’s regulations, policies,
services, programs, or procedures, including zoning and housing regulations, that is reasonable
and necessary to allow a person to have equal opportunity to use and enjoy housing and city
programs and services without fundamentally altering the nature of the city’s regulations,
policies, services, programs, or procedures or otherwise imposing an undue financial or
administrative burden on the city.
Sec. 2-798. - Process.
a. Application. A person or their authorized representative, or an organization, company,
corporation, or other legal entity providing or owning housing for the benefit of a person(s)
may apply for a reasonable accommodation on an application form provided by the city.
Forms must be submitted to the City Community Development Director. The application
Page 397 of 401
shall include a detailed explanation of the specific modification or waiver sought and how
that modification or waiver is both reasonable and necessary to provide a person with a
qualifying disability with equal access or use of city programs or services, or fair and equal
access to the specific housing available to the person, as applicable. If there is a request to
exceed any City zoning regulations, the application shall include an updated survey per City
Policy for surveys. The applicant should address the factors outlined in part (b) of this
section. If the request requires additional city reviews or approvals, the applicant shall file
the reasonable accommodation request concurrently with those other applications.
b. City Review. Withing 15 business days of receiving an application, city staff, in consultation
with the city attorney, shall determine whether an application is complete or if additional
information is needed, contact the applicant for such information before deeming such
application complete. Within sixty (60) days of receipt of a completed application, City shall
mail to the applicant a decision granting or denying the accommodation requested, or
granting an alternative reasonable accommodation, based on the following factors:
1. Whether there is a qualifying disability under the applicable federal law;
2. Whether the request is necessary to allow the person equal opportunity to use and
enjoy a dwelling or live in a particular residential neighborhood as individuals without
disabilities, or to allow a person equal access and use of city programs or services as
individuals without disabilities, as applicable;
3. Whether the request is reasonable in scope and nature considering:
i. Whether the request would constitute a fundamental alteration of the nature
of a city’s regulations, policies, services, programs, or procedures applicable to
the request, including as to the request’s impact on surrounding uses;
ii. Whether the request would impose an undue financial or administration
burden on the city;
iii. Any alternatives that may meet the need of the person without causing undue
financial or administrative burden on the city or a fundamental alteration of
the city’s regulations, policies, services, programs, or procedures applicable to
the request; and
4. Any other information that may have bearing on the request, as determined by the
city in compliance with applicable law. Applicants may supplement their application
with additional information bearing on the request at any time before the City issues
its written decision.
c. Written Decision. The City’s decision shall be in writing and include notice of the right to
appeal the decision pursuant to part (d) of this section. The decision shall be mailed to the
applicant and, if a zoning-related decision, mailed to all owners of property immediately
adjacent to the property that is the subject of the request a maximum of 10 days following
the decision.
Page 398 of 401
d. Conditions. A granted reasonable accommodation does not run with the land unless the city
identifies in its written decision that the accommodation would be physically integrated into
the residential structure such that it cannot be easily removed or altered. If a future owner or
occupant desires to keep a reasonable accommodation not running with the land, they
must apply to the city under part (a) of this section. The city may also require in its written
decision that the applicant record a covenant agreeing to comply with certain conditions
related to the factors for approval for a reasonable accommodation granted with respect to
the use of real property.
e. Appeal. An applicant or immediately adjacent property owner receiving notice of a
reasonable accommodation decision may appeal to the city council by submitting a written
request setting forth fully the grounds for appeal to the City Community Development
Director within 10 days after the decision is mailed to the aggrieved party. The City Council
will hold a public hearing within sixty (60) days of receiving a written request for appeal to
reconsider the decision based on the factors outlined in part (b) of this section. The
applicant and the appealing party may present testimony or evidence at this hearing.
f. No Fees. No fees shall be charged for an application for a reasonable accommodation or an
appeal thereof.
g. Noncompliance. Failure to apply for a reasonable accommodation prior to initiating any use
of property that is in violation of city code does not preclude the city from taking any
criminal or civil action to enforce such violations of city code. [PA2] The City Community
Development Director may also at any time revoke or modify a granted reasonable
accommodation if any of the conditions of such accommodation are violated. Revocation
or modification of a granted reasonable accommodation is appealable within 10 days after
notice of revocation or modification as set forth in part (e) of this section.
Section 2. Effective date. This ordinance becomes effective immediately upon its passage and
publication.

## Item Report
June 16, 2026
## City Council
## Item Number: 10.1 Department: Public Works
## Item Activity: Information Prepared By: Andrew Scipioni, Transportation Planner
## Item Title: Advisory Communication: Wooddale Avenue Bike Lane Project
## Action Requested:
None.
## Information/Background:
Approved by the Transportation Commission May 28, 2026
## Approved Work Plan Item: No Council Charge: N/A
## Recommendation:
Wooddale Avenue is a major north-south corridor and presents an opportunity to invest in our
community’s bike network. Council has and will hear concerns about the overlay options provided by
staff. The ETC would like to provide our support of the project and an important consideration when
moving forward. Specifically, the ETC recommends that Council adopt a protected bike lane, which
includes both a vertical and horizontal separation element. In particular, the section between
Wooddale Lane and W 56th Street sees the highest traffic and is the most important to protect. This
protected bike lane aspect of the project is critical to increase ridership, enhance safety, and ensure
the project meets its full potential.
Items not on the approved work plan: Council action is rarely taken mid-year for items not on the
current approved work plan. Action is only taken if Council chooses to discuss the Advisory
Communication at the Council meeting and provides specific direction through a Council vote.
Commissions are encouraged to submit new initiative proposals through the annual work plan
process.
