It was previously used as a K-9 transport system in a police squad vehicle and is compatible with the current make and model of the City's Code Enforcement vehicle.

Motion Type: Approve Background: Shakopee Engineering and Police Departments received complaints of on street parking along Disc Drive and Secretariat Drive obstructing sightlines during events at Mystic Lake Ampitheater. Police department staff recently observed the on street parking during an event and noted that vehicles were parking right up to and into the intersections. The parked vehicles made it difficult to navigate the roadways and created safety issues for drivers by obstructing views. Staff recommend implementing parking restrictions at key locations near the intersections to eliminate the sightline restrictions. The signage will help clearly communicate to drivers and event attendees where they are allowed to park and where they are not permitted to park. This will also make enforcement more clear for officers. The proposed layout of the parking restrictions is attached for reference. Recommendation: Approve the parking zone restrictions. Budget Impact: No parking signs are manufactured and installed by the Public Works Department at a cost of $291 per sign.

An evaluation was completed in 2023 to determine the scope and cost of this project. This project is essential in order to complete Huber Park and the Cultural Corridor project. Cost share funding and grant opportunities have been obtained from State Bonding and Federal Funds along with a grant from LCCMR and Watershed Based Implementation Funding. Additional funding opportunity will be applied for from various grants and sources. Justification Huber Park is one of the signature parks in the Parks Master Plan. This includes the recently completed playground, riverbank stabilization, cultural corridor and creation of a natural flooding area that will protect the main elements of the park. Eroded riverbank needs to be stabilized to protect the city's adjacent trunk sanitary sewer, repair erosion along the riverbank and at outlets, and to minimize future erosion (Minnesota River is impaired). The stabilized river banks will help create areas for the planned Art Plaza and Veterans Memorial.

This will provide public access to the MN River. In cooperation with Three Rivers Park System, there may be an opportunity for boat rentals that would exit the river on the Three River's Landing property. This park development will also allow for the preservation and reuse of the Schroeder House, the owner of the Shakopee Brick Company. The house will be used for a public purpose as part of the parks master plan. The city already owns the property to the west as part of Huber Park. Funding for the restoration of the house may come from the State Historic Preservation Grant program. The Marina is in the Rlverfront project and the grant is for the ramp in the Marina. Justification This is a very historic house and site and will also provide the public with access to the river. The use of the house as a potential event site will also provide the community with another option. The event portion would be likely run by a private operator with the city reserving use of the space for public meetings.

Motion Type: Simple Majority Background: As part of the last contract between the city and LELS Sergeants, there was a wage reopener for 2026 - the final year of the contract. The purpose of this was to ensure that there would not be a large pay jump between 2026 and 2027 in light of the city's commitment to paying the mid -point of our comparable cities and the changes occurring in law enforcement compensation. Upon reviewing both Patrol and Sergeant pay, we determined that Patrol compensation was in line with comparable cities and would not need an adjustment, but the Sergeants were approximately 3% off. This action is to bring Sergeants' pay to the mid -point. We will next look at the Captains' compensation per their union agreement as well. Recommendation: Approve.

SHAKOPEE Agenda Item: Prepared by: Reviewed by: Shakopee City Council 5.n August 18, 2026 Amend City Code Section 151.002 and 151.007 K related to the definition of cannabis cultivator and indoor cannabis cultivation and manufacturing uses in the Highway Business (B-1) zoning district. Michael Kerski, Planning and Development Director Michael Kerski, Planning & Development Director Action to be considered: Move for denial. Motion Type: Simple Majority Background: On December 17, 2024 the City Council approved Ordinance O2024-011 which amended City Code Section 151.002 by adding cannabis definitions and Section 151.007 K by adding cannabis use classifications. The ordinance was written so the use is either permitted (P) or not permitted (blank) by zoning district in the use table with superscript references for additional conditions of approval. In addition, any endorsement received from the state for a cannabis microbusiness, mezzobusiness, or medical cannabis combination business must also be permitted in the zoning district to be allowed. Rory Cummings, applicant for the code change, and Tom Madden, business partner, have received pre -approval from the State of Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) for a Cannabis Microbusiness license with a retail endorsement. They leased space at 491 Marschall Road and obtained the necessary building permit(s) to modify the space for a cannabis retail store in Fall 2025. They are still pending submittal of an application and receipt of the city of Shakopee Cannabis Retail Registration, completion of building and fire inspections, and issuance of the license from the OCM. Based on discussions with the applicant, staff understands they are experiencing difficulty obtaining sufficient product for retail sales. As a result, the applicant requested that the city consider three ordinance amendments to allow cultivating indoors and manufacturing cannabis products in their leased location. There would be no retail sales in Shakopee, but only a grow space, and the product would serve a retail location in 51 another city. The proposed changes were as follows: 1) Amend the definition of cannabis cultivator. Current Cannabis Cultivator definition: A business with a cannabis cultivator license, or cultivation endorsement from the State of Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management. Proposed Cannabis Cultivator definition (same as the City of Chaska): Cannabis cultivation means a cannabis business licensed to grow cannabis plants within the approved amount of space from seed or immature plant to mature plant, harvest cannabis flower from mature plant, package and label immature plants and seedlings and cannabis flower for sale to other cannabis businesses, transport cannabis flower to a cannabis manufacturer located on the same premises, and perform other actions approved by the OCM. Current definitions were intentionally written by the City Attorney's Office to refer to state rules and statutes as they describe what the license holder can do. Modifying the definition to outline what is allowed, instead of referring to the state required license for this specific definition, would result in this specific definition being in a dramatically different format than all of the other cannabis definitions and may result in confusion in the future if the language in the rules and statutes are amended and the city does not update its definition to specifically align. 2) Amend the use table to allow indoor cannabis cultivation up to 5,000 sq. ft. and cannabis manufacturing in the Highway Business (B-1) zoning district. City Code currently allows cultivation and manufacturing in the Light Industry (I-1) and Heavy Industry (1-2) zoning districts. These districts also allow for microbusinesses, mezzobusinesses, and medical cannabis combination businesses to have a limited retail component (15% of the operational area or 2,000 sq. ft. whichever is less). Amending the city code to allow indoor cultivation and/or manufacturing in a commercial zoning district would apply to all properties in the B-1 zoning district (not just the leased space). The intent of the B-1 zoning district is to offer goods and services directly to the ultimate consumer. Horticulture (not involving retail sales) and manufacturing uses are not permitted within the B-1 zoning district. Some B-1 properties are improved with residences and a majority of the B-1 properties abut residential zoning districts (including the subject property) which raises concerns including, but not limited to, compatibility with adjacent commercial businesses as well as compatibility with adjacent residential uses, odor, noise, and security. In addition, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the B-1 zoned properties as either Mixed Use Commercial Corridor or Mixed Use Commercial Center. The primary and secondary uses for these classifications are commercial, office, mixed uses, institutional, multifamily residential, parking, transit facilities, and public gathering spaces. Amending 52 the city code to allow industrial uses in the commercial classification would be in conflict with the comprehensive plan. 3) Amend superscript 61 a. of the Use Table to delete the language "each endorsement received or, when combined, must follow". Superscript 61 a. states "Cannabis microbusinesses, cannabis mezzobusinesses, and medical cannabis combination businesses may be zoned based on each endorsement received, or, when combined, must follow the designations for each license in the use table." This language was intentionally written by the City Attorney's Office to ensure that both the license type and any endorsement(s) received are permitted in a specific zoning district to be allowed. For example, an operator with a cannabis microbusiness license with a cannabis retail endorsement is permitted in the B-1 zoning district because both the license type (microbusiness) and the endorsement (cannabis retail) are permitted uses in City Code Section 151.007 K Use Table. However, an operator with a cannabis microbusiness license as well as a cannabis retail endorsement and a cannabis cultivation endorsement is not permitted as cannabis cultivation is not a permitted use in the B-1 zoning district. Removing the language as proposed would allow any microbusiness, mezzobusiness, or medical cannabis combination business to operate with any combination of endorsements in any district where that license type is allowed, regardless of whether the individual endorsement(s) are otherwise allowed. Staff and the Planning Commission recommends denial of the proposed ordinance amendments with the following findings: Cannabis cultivation and manufacturing uses are not in the spirit and intent of the Highway Business (B-1) zoning district. The B-1 zoning district includes both commercial and residential uses. Proximity of cannabis cultivation and manufacturing uses to non - cannabis related commercial businesses, abutting residential zoning districts as well as existing residential homes raises serious concerns including, but not limited to, odor, noise, and security. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the B-1 zoned properties as Mixed Use Commercial Corridor or Mixed Use Commercial Center, which does not allow industrial uses. Amending the city code to allow industrial uses would be in conflict with the comprehensive plan. Modifying the definition of cannabis cultivator to list what is allowed instead of referring to the state required license for this specific definition would result in this specific definition being in a dramatically different format than all of the other cannabis definitions and may result in confusion in the future if the language in the rules and 53 statutes are amended and not longer align with the city definition. Eliminating the requirement for all cannabis license types and endorsements to follow the designations in the use table would result in industrial uses (e.g. cultivation, manufacturing, testing facilities, wholesaler, etc.) operating in any district where the license type (e.g. microbusiness, mezzobusiness, medical cannabis combination business) is permitted which was not the intent of O2024-011. Recommendation: City Council move for denial of the requests by the applicant. Planning Commission also voted 5-0 against changing the code to allow manufacturing in the B-1 District. While appreciating the applicant's predicament, the change would violate the Comprehensive Plan and also could have negative impacts on surrounding neighborhoods.

The request was associated with a proposed cannabis microbusiness at 491 Marshall Road. Staff recommended denial, primarily because cultivation and manufacturing are industrial - type uses that are inconsistent with the intent of the B-1 commercial district and the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Staff also raised concerns about compatibility with nearby residential and commercial uses, odor, noise and security, and cautioned that changing the endorsement provisions could allow industrial cannabis activities in zoning districts where they were not otherwise intended. During the hearing, the applicants explained that they intended to operate a relatively small indoor grow, using filtration systems to control odor, and that cultivation was necessary because of the current shortage and high cost of cannabis product in Minnesota. They indicated that the Shakopee location would initially be used primarily to grow product to support their Minnetonka operation, with the possibility of eventually converting the Shakopee site to retail. Commissioners generally expressed sympathy for the applicants' situation but were concerned that the requested amendment would change the character of the B-1 district citywide rather than simply authorize one business. They emphasized that B-1 is intended primarily for retail and commercial activity, that the amendment could establish a precedent for cultivation and other industrial activities throughout B-1 areas, and that the Marshall Road property is near apartments, homes and a hotel. Action: Commissioner Robbins moved to recommend denial to the City Council of the ordinance amendments changing the cannabis cultivator definition and allowing indoor cannabis cultivation and manufacturing in the B-1 district. Commissioner Wieler seconded the motion. The Planning Commission voted unanimously, 5-0, to recommend denial 59 SHAKOPEE WILLA!

Guideline: The guideline of the City of Shakopee's Tree Management Regulations is to regulate the planting, transplanting, maintenance, removal and protection of public trees and shrubs in the city in order to alleviate hazardous conditions which may result in injury to persons using the streets, sidewalks or other public property within the city. It is also a guideline to promote and enhance the beauty and general welfare of the city by protecting trees and shrubs from undesirable treatment, maintenance practice, planting and removal. Function: The general responsibility of the Public Works Department is to maintain trees and shrubs located on all public properties, including, but not limited to, boulevards, right-of- way, medians, alleys, parks, and other public facilities and spaces. This involves all phases of forestry work from planting through removal. These specifications are to serve as a standard for the planting and maintenance of all public trees by city employees and city contractors. However, contractors or private individuals may reference these specifications to perform forestry work. In abiding by and enforcing these specifications, the Public Works Department makes reasonable efforts towards the desired goal of maintaining a safe and aesthetically pleasing urban forest allowing it to provide the maximum benefit to the community. The Public Works Department must approve exceptions to these specifications. The Forestry Specifications Manual shall be adhered to at all times, but may be amended at any time that experience, new research, or laws indicate that improved methods or circumstances make it advisable. 1 6 3 Table of Contents Introduction Authority Guideline Function Tree Planting Standards Size Condition Planting Methods Location Easement Areas Sight Triangle Right -of -Way Spacing Recommended Street Trees Conditional Plantings Undesirable Street Trees Maintenance of Newly Planted Trees General Watering Mulching Pruning Fertilization Staking Wrapping Planting Guidelines General Restrictions to Planting Trees Reconstructed and Widened Streets New Subdivisions Unimproved Streets Pruning Standards General Pruning Cuts Crown Cleaning Crown Thinning Crown Raising Crown Reduction Clearance Pruning Tools Site Appearance and Clean -Up Topping Pruning of Oaks Treating Wounds Page 1 Page 4 Page 9 Page 10 Page 11 2 6 4 Tree Removal Guidelines General Control Areas Public Trees Private Trees Reforestation Stump Removal — Public Trees Page 14 Shakopee Tree and Shrub Maintenance Standards Page 15 General Boulevard Trees and Public Lands Duties of Private Property Owners Storm Damage Unauthorized Removals Miscellaneous Maintenance Practices Stump Removal Fertilization Cabling and Bracing Chemical Treatment Gopher State One and Local Utilities References Appendices A.

The minimum allowable size for shade trees is 1 3/4" caliper and 1 �/�" caliper for ornamental trees; however, larger or smaller sizes may be required to ensure survival for specific situations. Tree caliper shall be measured six inches above the ground to the nearest 1/4". Condition: Unless otherwise specified, all trees shall conform to the American Nursery and Landscape Association's American Standard for Nursery Stock, (Z60.1-2014 or as updated). Each tree chosen for planting shall be a high -quality, healthy tree with evidence of vigorous growth during the previous year. All trees shall have a comparatively straight, single trunk, well -developed leaders and crown, and the roots shall not only be characteristic of the species, cultivar or variety, but also exhibit evidence of proper nursery pruning practices. Ornamental trees may be multiple -stemmed if they can be pruned for adequate clearance. At the time of planting, all trees must have a full healthy crown, be free of mechanical injuries and display no other objectionable features that will affect the future form, health, and beauty of the tree. 4 6 6 Planting Methods: Planting a Bare Root Tree Bare root trees are usually available only in early spring. These trees are dug from nurseries in late fall, and all soil is removed from their roots. They are held in climate controlled coolers over winter and sold bare root in spring. Bare root trees typically have a 1 %2- to 2 - inch trunk diameter. While bare root trees can be very economical, they can be highly perishable and it is very important that the roots never be allowed to dry out. When planting many bare root trees (five to ten or more), they should be ordered from the nursery ahead of time and stored in the city's gravel bed (or similar) until they are planted. Bare root trees are usually available only for a short time in spring (usually at the end of April or beginning of May in this area) so there is little flexibility for planting which is available with containerized or balled and burlapped trees. See Figure 1 for details to plant a bare root tree. P -+ a•trr ':"1,O15 — use 2-3 apposing ses+lIes orm ndge of mil [a keep wafer pu1dled -over r, s. Figure 1. How to plant a bare root tree.

See the city standard detail for planting trees for additional details. 5 6 7 Planting a Container -Grown Tree Container -grown trees are sold in a variety of different sized pots. The pots may be plastic, paper mache, or wooden "bushel baskets." In some cases, the tree had been growing in the container since it was a seedling; in others, it was planted in the container as a bare root tree. These trees are available throughout the growing season, and can be held in the containers for quite some time, allowing for more flexibility in planting.

That root ball is wrapped in burlap and enclosed in a wire basket which is tied around the trunk. Balled and burlapped trees cost more than bare root stock, but they are typically available throughout the growing season. Larger diameter trees are usually sold this way rather than as bare root or containerized. The root ball of a balled and burlapped trees can dry out very easily, so when choosing a tree, make sure that it is well mulched and does not look dry or otherwise stressed, be certain to keep the root ball moist until it is planted and, if possible, remove the burlap.

To allow for maintenance, minimize infrastructure damage and promote safety, trees shall be planted using the following guidelines. The Public Works Department may make exceptions to these guidelines when circumstances warrant and public safety is not threatened. 1. 50' from an approach corner 2. 35' from a non -approach corner 3. 20' from a street light 4. 10' from a driveway, utility pole, or fire hydrant 5. 10' from a Sanitary Sewer service, water main, or other underground utilities 6. 5' from a gas valve, water valve, or carriage walk 7. 3' from the curb Easement Areas: Pursuant to Section 90.16 of the City Code, no trees, shrubs or bushes are allowed to be planted or located within a city easement area, right-of-way or sight triangle. In the event that the city grants permission to locate a tree, shrub or bush in its easement area or on its property, the following standards shall apply: 1. No tree shrub or bush shall be planted or allowed to be located in city -owned or managed property or within a city conservation easement area, sight triangle or right-of-way without first obtaining a permit from the city. The permit application in Appendix E is available at City Hall or on the city's website: www.ShakopeeMN.gov. The permit must be reviewed and approved by the City's Public Works Department. 2. Under no circumstances will the city issue a permit to plant or allow a tree, shrub or bush in any sidewalk or trail easement. 3. Under no circumstances will the city issue a permit to plant or allow a tree to be placed directly on top of a water, sewer or other utility service line. The city will not issue a permit to plant or allow any trees, shrubs, or bushes to be placed within two feet of the side and rear of any utility transformers, cabinets, or hydrants, or within eight feet of the front of any utility transformers, cabinets, or hydrants. 4. Under no circumstances will the city issue a permit to plant or allow a tree to be placed within a lot's front drainage and utility easements, street side easements of corner lots, or maintenance access easements. The city may permit trees to be placed within a lot's side and rear lot line easements if the easements do not contain any underground utilities and the tree does not obstruct drainage. Sight Triangle: The city will not issue a permit to allow a tree, shrub or bush to be planted or located within a sight triangle, with the exception of low growing shrubs that are less than three feet high and trees that have branches that are able to be trimmed so that they are higher than nine feet from the ground. 8 7 0 Right -of -Way: The city will not allow trees to be planted in the city right-of-way without the approval of a Tree, Shrub and Bush Permit. Trees planted in the right-of-way without a permit will be removed. Spacing: Future maintenance problems can be minimized by careful and thoughtful placement of trees. Spacing of trees is a function of local site conditions, the species or cultivar used, and their mature height, spread and form. A safe minimum spacing between trees is a distance equal to the width of the species at maturity. All Shakopee trees shall be planted a minimum 30 feet from another tree. Recommended Street Trees: Appendix A contains the lists of tree species approved for planting in the city based upon their recommended planting sites. The list is subject to review to determine whether any species, cultivars or varieties should be added or removed from the list. The tree list is a recommendation but is subject to change based on availability of trees from suppliers. Only small -growing trees shall be planted under overhead secondary or primary electrical distribution lines. Trees planted to the side of power lines shall be carefully selected for mature habit to minimize future conflicts. Conditional Plantings: Conifers may be planted on city right-of-way provided the trunk is no closer than 14 feet to the back of the curb or 7 feet behind the existing public sidewalk. Also, it may not be closer than 35 feet from the non — approach corner of the intersection of two right-of-way lines and no closer than 20 feet to the edge of the nearest driveway. Undesirable Street Trees: Unacceptable species or their varieties as listed in Appendix B shall not be planted on city property, except in special locations where, because of characteristics of adaptability or landscape effect, they can be used advantageously. Their lack of suitability is based upon objectionable growth habits, fruiting habits, form, susceptibility to serious diseases, propensity to incur storm damage, and other limitations. The limitations listed for each tree or species are the more serious problems encountered locally. Maintenance of Newly Planted Trees General: Newly planted trees, shrubs and other plants require special maintenance for one or two growing seasons following planting. All maintenance practices shall follow approved Forestry standards. Watering: Watering bags should be utilized when available for newly planted trees that are planted by city employees. The recommended frequency of watering trees is one to two times per week in dry months for the first three years after planting. After three years, the need for watering is evaluated based on environmental conditions and monitoring. Mulching: It is recommended that when planting a tree that mulch is applied around the base of the tree. Mulch is to be maintained until the tree is established which is typically 5 years. Mulch helps a tree retain moisture, control weeds, moderates soil temperature, and gives a nice appearance to the landscape. Most any organic material can be used as mulch, including 9 7 1 shredded wood or bark, wood chips, pine needles, cocoa beans hulls, straw, ground corncobs, or any other available organic matter. To be effective, mulches should be applied so that when settled, the mulch is 3-4 inches deep. However, mulch should be pulled away from the trunk or stem of the tree. Mulch left against the tree's bark can cause moisture buildup which can rot the bark and cause severe injury to the tree. The "volcano" of mulch around a tree's trunk should be avoided, and instead a "donut" of mulch should be applied. If using organic mulches, do not use a landscape fabric or plastic. Inorganic materials often used as mulch, such as landscape rocks, may also be used. However, rocks tend to absorb heat during the day and release it at night, which can be stressful for plants. Also, a landscape plastic or fabric under the rocks will be needed to control weeds, which is not needed when using organic mulch. Pruning: No pruning should occur at the time of planting except to remove dead or broken branches. Unnecessary pruning at this time may reduce the amount of stored energy the plant holds and may stress the tree. The city is divided into multiple pruning zones to rotate through city-wide pruning. Young trees (10 years or less) are pruned once every three years, and mature trees (greater than 10 years) are pruned once every six years. Fertilization: Adequate quantities of the essential nutrient elements should be available after new root growth starts. Provision of good drainage and adequate soil moisture are far more important following planting than fertilization. Apply fertilizer sparingly and only to correct a specific deficiency. Since excessive fertilization can "burn" roots and stimulate crown growth faster than the roots can supply water, it is best to wait until the third year after planting to begin applications. Staking: Bare root trees are staked with a minimum of two stakes to help stabilize trees while they establish. Container and balled and burlapped trees are not staked unless monitoring identifies a need to help stabilize while the tree establishes. If it is necessary to stake a tree after planting use only broad, soft strapping and leave some play for the tree to sway in the wind. Do not use wire surrounded by a garden hose as this may cause serious damage to the trunk. All staking material should be removed within two years unless deemed necessary for continued stability. Please also note that not all trees require staking to stabilize the trees. Contact your local forester or arborist for advice. Wrapping: Tree guards should be utilized when available for the first three years of establishment of newly planted trees when they are planted in areas that would be prone to damage from mowing, snow and ice, rodents, and sun scald. Planting Guidelines General: The following standards shall apply to trees and shrubs in city owned property such as right-of-way and park and open space. In addition, the standards shall apply to private property trees during a state of emergency declared by the Mayor or City Council. Restrictions to Planting Trees: The following are general restrictions to planting trees within the City of Shakopee: 10 7 2 1. Have underground utilities located. 2. Do not plant trees within city owned property such as park and open space without prior written approval. These trees will become the property of the city. 3. Do not plant trees within city owned right-of-way without prior written approval. These trees will become the property of the city and may be removed as determined by the city. 4. Do not plant trees within drainage and utility easements without prior written approval. Future city improvement projects may require the removal of these trees. 5. Do not plant trees within Conservation Easements without prior written approval from the city. 6. Trees are to be planted a minimum of 5 feet from all property lines. The city recommends planting trees 10 feet from all property lines. Reconstructed and Widened Streets: When trees are removed in preparation for reconstruction or widening of any established street, new trees will be planted provided there is adequate space in the right-of-way to support tree growth. The expense of this planting shall be borne by the city and incorporated into the project. The Department of Public Works shall determine the amount, location and species of these trees. New Subdivisions: In the development of new subdivisions or commercial property, removal and planting of trees must meet the requirements of City Code Sections 151.112 and 151.113. Unimproved Streets: Trees shall not be planted in the right-of-way of unimproved streets or where no curb and gutter exists without approval from the Department of Public Works. Pruning Standards General: All pruning shall follow the USDA Forest Service's How to Prune Trees manual (see references) for the purpose of crown cleaning, crown thinning, crown raising, and structure development. Pruning shall improve the appearance of the trees and maintain the crown shape and symmetry typical of the species at its given size and age. Permission from the city is required before any pruning is done on city owned and maintained trees. Pruning Cuts: All final cuts shall be "collar cuts" made sufficiently close to the trunk or parent limb, without cutting into the branch collar or leaving a protruding stub, so that closure can readily begin under normal conditions. The face of the "collar cut" or wound area shall be circular in form. "Flush" cuts to the main stem behind the branch collar and that leave oval exposed wounds shall not be made. Cuts shall be clean and made such that all wound sides are even edged and do not leave "dog ear" ridges on one side or another. All limbs removed shall be cut in such a manner so as to prevent any ripping or tearing of the wood or bark on the parent or remaining stem. Large limbs shall be cut using the three - cut pruning method as shown in Figure 4. Limbs shall be brought to the ground as to prevent any damage to property, publicly or privately owned. 11 7 3 Dead branch branch bark ridge 11/ /\• 1�� branch collar First cut part way through the branch at A; then cut it off at B. Make the final cut at C. Live branch branch collar UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA EXTENSION SERVICE Figure 4 Proper Pruning Techniques — 3 Cut Method Crown Cleaning: Crown cleaning should remove all dead, dying, diseased, crowded, weakly attached and low -vigor branches. Interior crowding and crossed or rubbing branches should be pruned where practical so as not to leave large holes in the general form of the tree. Trunk suckers and water sprouts, especially where they are present below the bottom 1/2 of the tree, should also be removed as part of crown cleaning. Suckers and sprouts that add to the shape of the tree above 14 feet may remain in mature trees that may not have an optimum crown or shape. Crown Thinning: Crown thinning, primarily for hardwoods, is the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement throughout the crown of a tree. The intent is to maintain or develop a tree's structure and form. To avoid unnecessary stress and prevent excessive production of epicormic sprouts, no more than one -quarter of the living crown should be removed at a time. If it is necessary to remove more, it should be done over successive years. Branches with strong U-shaped angles of attachment should be retained. Branches with narrow, V-shaped angles of attachment often form included bark and should be removed. Included bark forms when two branches grow at sharply acute angles to one another, producing a wedge of inward -rolled bark between them. Included bark prevents strong attachment of branches, often causing a crack at the point below where the branches meet. Co -dominant stems that are approximately the same size and arise from the same position often form included bark. Removing some of the lateral branches from a co - dominant stem can reduce its growth enough to allow the other stem to become dominant. Lateral branches should be no more than one-half to three-quarters of the diameter of the stem at the point of attachment. Avoid producing "lion's tails," tufts of branches and foliage at the ends of branches, caused by removing all inner lateral branches and foliage. Lion's tails can result in sun -scalding, abundant epicormic sprouts, and weak branch structure and breakage. Branches that rub or cross another branch should be removed. Conifers that have branches in whorls and pyramidal crowns rarely need crown thinning except to restore a dominant leader. Occasionally, the leader of a tree may be damaged and multiple branches may become co -dominant. Select the strongest leader and remove competing branches to prevent the development of co -dominant stems. 12 7 4 Crown Raising: Crown raising is the practice of removing branches from the bottom of the crown of a tree to provide clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, buildings, lines of site, or to develop a clear stem for timber production. Also, removing lower branches on white pines can prevent blister rust. For street trees the minimum clearance is often specified by municipal ordinance. After pruning, the ratio of the living crown to total tree height should be at least two-thirds (e.g., a 12 m tree should have living branches on at least the upper 8 m). On young trees "temporary" branches may be retained along the stem to encourage taper and protect trees from vandalism and sun scald. Less vigorous shoots should be selected as temporary branches and should be about 10 to 15 cm apart along the stem. They should be pruned annually to slow their growth and should be removed eventually. Crown Reduction: Crown reduction pruning is most often used when a tree has grown too large for its permitted space. This method, sometimes called drop crotch pruning, is preferred to topping because it results in a more natural appearance, increases the time before pruning is needed again, and minimizes stress (see drop crotch cuts in the next section). Crown reduction pruning, a method of last resort, often results in large pruning wounds to stems that may lead to decay. This method should never be used on a tree with a pyramidal growth form. A better long term solution is to remove the tree and replace it with a tree that will not grow beyond the available space. Clearance Pruning: Clearance of houses and buildings should be such that branches are a minimum of 15 feet from rooftops. Trees and other vegetation shall be pruned to maintain a clear line of sight when approaching all traffic control devices and intersections. Tools: Proper tools such as hand pruners, pole saws, handsaws, and chain saws shall be used for each cut. The cutting edge of each tool shall be positioned to obtain a proper pruning cut so it will not cut, rip, or harm adjacent bark areas. At no time shall any person working in trees for pruning purposes, wear spurs or any other footwear, which, in the opinion of the Public Works Director or designate, may injure the tree being pruned. Site Appearance and Clean Up: Pruned limbs and branches temporarily placed in the right- of-way area shall be placed in such a manner as to eliminate any obstruction to motor vehicles and pedestrians. Site cleanup shall include removal of small twigs, chips, leaves and limbs from the street, curb, right-of-way, sidewalk, private lawns and driveways with the appropriate tools for the job. The site shall be returned to the same state it existed in prior to the pruning work. Under no circumstances shall any materials be allowed to lie in the right- of-way overnight. Topping: It is an unacceptable practice to top any public tree in the city and it is not recommended for any private tree. Topping is the indiscriminate cutting back of tree branches to stubs or lateral branches that are not large enough to assume the terminal role of growth. Property owners often feel that their trees have become too large for their property and feel the need to reduce the tree's height. Topping, however, is not a viable method of height reduction and will make a tree more hazardous in the long term by encouraging excessive growth and extensive decay. Topping trees for utility clearance purposes should not be the standard operating procedure. Pruning trees for line clearance is necessary and understandable. However, proper pruning cuts need to be made and only those limbs necessary for proper clearance should be 13 7 5 pruned. Trees located under utility lines that require excessive pruning or pruning needs beyond what is acceptable for proper pruning, should be considered for outright removal and replaced with a suitable tree species for under utility lines. Topping trees is not an acceptable method of pruning under any circumstances and should not be done to any tree or part of within city right-of-way, park, or open space. Trees damaged by storms or other causes, or trees under utility lines or other obstructions where other pruning practices are not practical may be exempt from City Code Section 151.113 at the determination of the Director of Public Works, or SPUC Utilities Manager or delegate. Pruning of Oaks: In an effort to minimize the spread of Oak Wilt (Ceratocystis fagacearurn), Shakopee City Code Section 151.113 states that the pruning of Oak trees or collateral damage to Oak trees from adjacent tree removal shall be avoided from April 1st thru July 31st which is the most susceptible period of infection, except by written permission of city personnel. Trees damaged by storms or other causes during this time may be treated with a nontoxic wound dressing. Final pruning cuts should be made in dormant season to remove stub with wound dressing. Treating Wounds: Tree sap, gums, and resins are the natural means by which trees combat invasion by pathogens. Although unsightly, sap flow from pruning wounds is not generally harmful; however, excessive "bleeding" can weaken trees. When oaks or elms are wounded during a critical time of year (usually spring for oaks, or throughout the growing season for elms) -- either from storms, other unforeseen mechanical wounds, or from necessary branch removals -- some type of wound dressing should be applied to the wound. Do this immediately after the wound is created. In most other instances, wound dressings are unnecessary, and may even be detrimental. Wound dressings will not stop decay or cure infectious diseases. They may actually interfere with the protective benefits of tree gums and resins, and prevent wound surfaces from closing as quickly as they might under natural conditions. The only benefit of wound dressings is to prevent introduction of pathogens in the specific cases of Dutch elm disease and oak wilt. Tree Removal Guidelines General: There are many factors that contribute to transforming a tree from an asset to a liability. They include: disease, infestation, decay, and mechanical damage, which can cause a tree to be structurally unsound, and therefore unsafe. It is the guideline of the city to base tree removals on safety related criteria and liability. As specified in the City of Shakopee ordinances, the only persons who may authorize the planting or removal of a city tree is the Public Works Director or designee. Any person who desires to remove any Tree on any parcel of land may be required to submit a Tree Preservation Plan to the city and must demonstrate that there are no feasible or prudent alternatives to removing any tree. Control Areas: In accordance with state law, the City of Shakopee has designated the populated areas of the city as the areas where the diseased tree and shade tree pest program will be strictly enforced. The control area consists of the developed areas of the city including any scattered subdivisions. 14 7 6 In areas outside of the control areas, the diseased tree and shade tree pest program will be strictly enforced by the city only in those areas within '/4 mile of non -farm homesteads. Public Trees: The city will remove trees located on public property which contain a shade tree disease or shade tree pest which cause the trees to die. The city will remove these trees as quickly as possible for trees that create hazards located on street boulevards and in city park areas. For trees that have died or fallen that do not create hazards in city open space areas will not be removed. Anyone finding a tree on public property which appears to be diseased or infested but which has not been marked for removal should report the tree to the city. Private Trees: See City Code Section 130.15 for the removal of trees with a shade tree disease or shade tree pest from private property. See Appendix D for the Shade Tree Disease or Pest Inspection Form. Reforestation: The city will, to the extent possible under the current budget and/or project plans, attempt to replace boulevard and park trees removed because of shade tree diseases or shade tree pests by planting new trees. Stump Removal — Public Trees: The city or contractor hired by the city will remove stumps of public trees along right-of-way, parks, or other public open spaces. The city will not remove or grind out stumps for private trees, but rather this is the property owner's responsibility. Shakopee Tree and Shrub Maintenance Standards General: The following standards shall apply to trees and shrubs in city owned property such as right-of-way and park and open space. In addition, the standards shall apply to private property trees during a state of emergency declared by the Mayor or City Council. Boulevard Trees and Public Lands: The City of Shakopee will maintain all boulevard trees and public trees so as to not cause a hazard by trimming branches, pruning, etc. Trees that create hazards are those that are blocking street signs, traffic control devices or street lighting or have low hanging branches that cause hazards to vehicles or trucks such as garbage trucks, snowplows, fire trucks, etc. The city will maintain and trim branches so that there is a minimum of a nine foot clearance over sidewalks and a fifteen foot clearance over streets and alleys. Duties of Private Property Owners: Any trees and shrubs that are located on private property, but overhang public rights -of -way such as alleys, sidewalks, trails, or streets, shall be trimmed to the same standards above by the city or by the property owner as required by the city per City Code Section 90.05. In no case will the city trim private trees that are not overhanging onto right-of-way, park or other public property. Storm Damage: Any public trees that are damaged by storms will be maintained by the city, including picking up any tree branches that were blown down. The city will, to the extent possible under the current budget, attempt to replace public trees removed because of storm damage. 15 7 7 Any private trees damaged or that have branches blown down due to a storm shall be maintained or disposed of by the property owner, unless the City Council or Mayor declares a state of emergency. In that case, the city will provide assistance in picking up and disposing of storm damaged trees and branches for a specific length of time as determined by the Public Works Director. In these instances, the following requirements should be adhered to: a. The property owner should notify the city at least three days in advance of trees/branches needing pick up. b. Large tree pieces must be cut to 6 feet in length or less. c. Branches must be piled as follows: 1. All stems at the same end. 2. Stems pointing in the same direction as the flow of traffic. 3. Laid on the ground parallel to the curb. d. Trees and branches must be placed next to the curb, or edge of the street (not in the street and if possible, not on the sidewalk). e. City crews will not enter private property to pick up trees or branches. Unauthorized Removals: See City Code Section 151.113 for information on unauthorized removals. Miscellaneous Maintenance Practices Stump Removal: The stumps of all removed trees shall be ground to a depth of at least eight inches (8") below the surrounding ground level. The excess stump chips shall be removed, the hole filled with clean topsoil, and the site graded and seeded. Watering of newly established grass will then be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. All costs associated with stump removal shall be borne by whoever bears the cost of tree removal. Fertilization: The city does not, in general, fertilize boulevard trees. A resident who wishes to fertilize the boulevard tree(s) adjacent to their property shall request written permission from the city. The Department of Public Works has the authority to approve or deny a fertilization request. All fertilization shall adhere to the American National Standards Institute's Standard Practices for Tree Care Operations — Fertilization (ANSI A 300 (Part 2). Cabling and Bracing: Tree support systems are used to provide supplemental support to leaders, individual branches, and /or entire trees by limiting their movement. When a tree has a structural defect or condition that poses a high risk of failure, a supplemental support system can often reduce the risk. However, not all potential hazards can be mitigated by their installation and cabling and bracing will be prohibited in boulevards. It is essential that each tree be carefully examined for risk of failure by a qualified arborist to ensure that the system 16 7 8 will achieve its objective of providing added support, without increasing the risk of tree failure. As a general rule, cables should be located above the crotch at a point approximately two- thirds (2/3) of the distance between the crotch and tops of the branch ends. Rust -resistant cables, thimbles and lags should be used and thimbles must be used in the eye splice in each end of the cable. Under no circumstances shall cable be wrapped around a branch. All cabling and bracing practices shall follow the American National Standards Institute's Standard Practices for Tree Care Operations — Support Systems, Cabling, Bracing, and Guying (ANSI A300 (Part 3)-2000) and the International Society of Arboriculture's companion publication Best Management Practices — Tree Support Systems: Cabling, Bracing, and Guying (2001). Chemical Treatment: The city, in general, limits the use of pesticides, fungicides and herbicides on its public trees. Applications may be done for the control of specific diseases or insects with the proper timing and materials to obtain the desired level of control. Suitable precautions shall be taken to protect and warn the public chemical treatment is being done. All application practices shall conform to the appropriate State and Federal regulations. A resident who wishes to apply chemical treatments to the boulevard tree(s) adjacent to their property shall request written permission from the city. The Department Public Works has the authority to approve or deny a chemical treatment application request. Residents applying for permission to apply chemical treatments must submit the following information: type of chemical, timing (weeks(s) to be applied), quantity to be used, application method, reason for chemical use and proof of a valid Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator License Number. Gopher State One and Local Utilities Upon issuance of a permit, a person planting an item shall have underground utilities located prior to digging or planting by calling Gopher State One at 651-454-0002 or online at www.gopherstateonecall.org. Proper marking of excavation sites prior to calling ensures that no resident, employee or utility are at risk from damage to unmarked utilities. Work within 18" of any underground utility requires hand digging to expose the facility and prevent unnecessary damage to utilities. Private utilities (i.e. irrigation, pet fences, private lighting etc.) located within the public right-of-way shall be marked by the adjacent property owner at their expense. The city cannot assume responsibility for any damage as a result of unmarked private utilities in the right-of-way. 17 7 9 References American National Standards Institute.

Parts less than 4 inches in diameter 2. Parts from 4 to 20 inches in diameter 3. Parts greater than 20 inches in diameter PROBABILITY OF TARGET IMPACT: 1-3 points 1.Occasional Use: - Low use roads and park trails; parking lots adjacent to low use areas; natural areas such as woods or riparian zones; transition areas with limited public use; industrial areas. 2.Intermediate Use: - Moderate to low use school playgrounds, parks, and picnic areas; parking lots adjacent to moderate use areas; secondary roads (neighborhoods) and park trails within moderate to high use areas; and dispersed campgrounds. 3.Frequent Use: - Emergency access routes, medical and emergency facilities and shelters, and handicap access areas; high use school playgrounds, parks, and picnic areas; bus stops; visitor centers, shelters, and park administrative buildings and residences; main thoroughfares and congested intersections in high use areas; parking lots adjacent to high use areas; interpretive signs, kiosks; scenic vistas; and campsites (particularly drive-in). OTHER RISK FACTORS: 0-2 points - This category can be used if professional judgment suggests the need to increase the risk rating. - It is especially helpful to use when tree species growth characteristics become a factor in risk rating. For example, some tree species have growth patterns that make them more vulnerable to certain defects such as weak branch unions (silver maple) and branching shedding (beech). - It can also be used if the tree is likely to fail before the next scheduled risk inspection.

Guideline: The guideline of the City of Shakopee's Tree Management Regulations is to regulate the planting, transplanting, maintenance, removal and protection of public trees and shrubs in the city in order to alleviate hazardous conditions which may result in injury to persons using the streets, sidewalks or other public property within the city. It is also a guideline to promote and enhance the beauty and general welfare of the city by protecting trees and shrubs from undesirable treatment, maintenance practice, planting and removal. Function: The general responsibility of the Public Works Department is to maintain trees and shrubs located on all public properties, including, but not limited to, boulevards, right-of- way, medians, alleys, parks, and other public facilities and spaces. This involves all phases of forestry work from planting through removal. These specifications are to serve as a standard for the planting and maintenance of all public trees by city employees and city contractors. However, contractors or private individuals may reference these specifications to perform forestry work. In abiding by and enforcing these specifications, the Public Works Department makes reasonable efforts towards the desired goal of maintaining a safe and aesthetically pleasing urban forest allowing it to provide the maximum benefit to the community. The Public Works Department must approve exceptions to these specifications. The Forestry Specifications Manual shall be adhered to at all times, but may be amended at any time that experience, new research, or laws indicate that improved methods or circumstances make it advisable. 1 9 2 Table of Contents Introduction Authority Guideline Function Tree Planting Standards Size Condition Planting Methods Location Easement Areas Sight Triangle Right -of -Way Spacing Recommended Street Trees Conditional Plantings Undesirable Street Trees Maintenance of Newly Planted Trees General Watering Mulching Pruning Fertilization Staking Wrapping Planting Guidelines General Restrictions to Planting Trees Reconstructed and Widened Streets New Subdivisions Unimproved Streets Pruning Standards General Pruning Cuts Crown Cleaning Crown Thinning Crown Raising Crown Reduction Clearance Pruning Tools Site Appearance and Clean -Up Topping Pruning of Oaks Treating Wounds Page 1 Page 4 Page 9 Page 10 Page 11 2 9 3 Tree Removal Guidelines General Control Areas Public Trees Private Trees Reforestation Stump Removal — Public Trees Page 14 Shakopee Tree and Shrub Maintenance Standards Page 15 General Boulevard Trees and Public Lands Duties of Private Property Owners Storm Damage Unauthorized Removals Miscellaneous Maintenance Practices Stump Removal Fertilization Cabling and Bracing Chemical Treatment Gopher State One and Local Utilities References Appendices A.

The minimum allowable size for shade trees is 1 3/4" caliper and 1 �/�" caliper for ornamental trees; however, larger or smaller sizes may be required to ensure survival for specific situations. Tree caliper shall be measured six inches above the ground to the nearest 1/4". Condition: Unless otherwise specified, all trees shall conform to the American Nursery and Landscape Association's American Standard for Nursery Stock, (Z60.1-2014 or as updated). Each tree chosen for planting shall be a high -quality, healthy tree with evidence of vigorous growth during the previous year. All trees shall have a comparatively straight, single trunk, well -developed leaders and crown, and the roots shall not only be characteristic of the species, cultivar or variety, but also exhibit evidence of proper nursery pruning practices. Ornamental trees may be multiple -stemmed if they can be pruned for adequate clearance. At the time of planting, all trees must have a full healthy crown, be free of mechanical injuries and display no other objectionable features that will affect the future form, health, and beauty of the tree. 4 9 5 Planting Methods: Planting a Bare Root Tree Bare root trees are usually available only in early spring. These trees are dug from nurseries in late fall, and all soil is removed from their roots. They are held in climate controlled coolers over winter and sold bare root in spring. Bare root trees typically have a 1 %2- to 2 - inch trunk diameter. While bare root trees can be very economical, they can be highly perishable and it is very important that the roots never be allowed to dry out. When planting many bare root trees (five to ten or more), they should be ordered from the nursery ahead of time and stored in the city's gravel bed (or similar) until they are planted. Bare root trees are usually available only for a short time in spring (usually at the end of April or beginning of May in this area) so there is little flexibility for planting which is available with containerized or balled and burlapped trees. See Figure 1 for details to plant a bare root tree. P -+ a•trr ':"1,O15 — use 2-3 apposing ses+lIes orm ndge of mil [a keep wafer pu1dled -over r, s. Figure 1. How to plant a bare root tree.

See the city standard detail for planting trees for additional details. 5 9 6 Planting a Container -Grown Tree Container -grown trees are sold in a variety of different sized pots. The pots may be plastic, paper mache, or wooden "bushel baskets." In some cases, the tree had been growing in the container since it was a seedling; in others, it was planted in the container as a bare root tree. These trees are available throughout the growing season, and can be held in the containers for quite some time, allowing for more flexibility in planting.

See city standard detail for planting trees for additional details. 6 9 7 Planting a Balled and Burlapped Tree Balled and burlapped trees are trees that are dug with the soil around the roots (root ball) intact. That root ball is wrapped in burlap and enclosed in a wire basket which is tied around the trunk. Balled and burlapped trees cost more than bare root stock, but they are typically available throughout the growing season. Larger diameter trees are usually sold this way rather than as bare root or containerized. The root ball of a balled and burlapped trees can dry out very easily, so when choosing a tree, make sure that it is well mulched and does not look dry or otherwise stressed, be certain to keep the root ball moist until it is planted and, if possible, remove the burlap.

See city standard detail for planting trees for additional details. 7 9 8 Location: All street trees shall be planted midway between the curb and sidewalk (or where the sidewalk would be if there is no sidewalk), unless in the opinion of the Public Works Department, there is sufficient reason to plant the trees off -center. To allow for maintenance, minimize infrastructure damage and promote safety, trees shall be planted using the following guidelines. The Public Works Department may make exceptions to these guidelines when circumstances warrant and public safety is not threatened. 1. 50' from an approach corner 2. 35' from a non -approach corner 3. 20' from a street light 4. 10' from a driveway, utility pole, or fire hydrant 5. 10' from a Sanitary Sewer service, water main, or other underground utilities 6. 5' from a gas valve, water valve, or carriage walk 7. 3' from the curb Easement Areas: Pursuant to Section 90.16 of the City Code, no trees, shrubs or bushes are allowed to be planted or located within a city easement area, right-of-way or sight triangle. In the event that the city grants permission to locate a tree, shrub or bush in its easement area or on its property, the following standards shall apply: 1. No tree shrub or bush shall be planted or allowed to be located in city -owned or managed property or within a city conservation easement area, sight triangle or right-of-way without first obtaining a permit from the city. The permit application in Appendix E is available at City Hall or on the city's website: www.ShakopeeMN.gov. The permit must be reviewed and approved by the City's Public Works Department. 2. Under no circumstances will the city issue a permit to plant or allow a tree, shrub or bush in any sidewalk or trail easement. 3. Under no circumstances will the city issue a permit to plant or allow a tree to be placed directly on top of a water, sewer or other utility service line. The city will not issue a permit to plant or allow any trees, shrubs, or bushes to be placed within two feet of the side and rear of any utility transformers, cabinets, or hydrants, or within eight feet of the front of any utility transformers, cabinets, or hydrants. 4. Under no circumstances will the city issue a permit to plant or allow a tree to be placed within a lot's front drainage and utility easements, street side easements of corner lots, or maintenance access easements. The city may permit trees to be placed within a lot's side and rear lot line easements if the easements do not contain any underground utilities and the tree does not obstruct drainage. Sight Triangle: The city will not issue a permit to allow a tree, shrub or bush to be planted or located within a sight triangle, with the exception of low growing shrubs that are less than three feet high and trees that have branches that are able to be trimmed so that they are higher than nine feet from the ground. 8 9 9 Right -of -Way: The city will not allow trees to be planted in the city right-of-way without the approval of a Tree, Shrub and Bush Permit. Trees planted in the right-of-way without a permit will be removed. Spacing: Future maintenance problems can be minimized by careful and thoughtful placement of trees. Spacing of trees is a function of local site conditions, the species or cultivar used, and their mature height, spread and form. A safe minimum spacing between trees is a distance equal to the width of the species at maturity. All Shakopee trees shall be planted a minimum 30 feet from another tree. Recommended Street Trees: Appendix A contains the lists of tree species approved for planting in the city based upon their recommended planting sites. The list is subject to review to determine whether any species, cultivars or varieties should be added or removed from the list. The tree list is a recommendation but is subject to change based on availability of trees from suppliers. Only small -growing trees shall be planted under overhead secondary or primary electrical distribution lines. Trees planted to the side of power lines shall be carefully selected for mature habit to minimize future conflicts. Conditional Plantings: Conifers may be planted on city right-of-way provided the trunk is no closer than 14 feet to the back of the curb or 7 feet behind the existing public sidewalk. Also, it may not be closer than 35 feet from the non — approach corner of the intersection of two right-of-way lines and no closer than 20 feet to the edge of the nearest driveway. Undesirable Street Trees: Unacceptable species or their varieties as listed in Appendix B shall not be planted on city property, except in special locations where, because of characteristics of adaptability or landscape effect, they can be used advantageously. Their lack of suitability is based upon objectionable growth habits, fruiting habits, form, susceptibility to serious diseases, propensity to incur storm damage, and other limitations. The limitations listed for each tree or species are the more serious problems encountered locally. Maintenance of Newly Planted Trees General: Newly planted trees, shrubs and other plants require special maintenance for one or two growing seasons following planting. All maintenance practices shall follow approved Forestry standards. Watering: Watering bags should be utilized when available for newly planted trees that are planted by city employees. The recommended frequency of watering trees is one to two times per week in dry months for the first three years after planting. After three years, the need for watering is evaluated based on environmental conditions and monitoring. Mulching: It is recommended that when planting a tree that mulch is applied around the base of the tree. Mulch is to be maintained until the tree is established which is typically 5 years. Mulch helps a tree retain moisture, control weeds, moderates soil temperature, and gives a nice appearance to the landscape. Most any organic material can be used as mulch, including 9 10 0 shredded wood or bark, wood chips, pine needles, cocoa beans hulls, straw, ground corncobs, or any other available organic matter. To be effective, mulches should be applied so that when settled, the mulch is 3-4 inches deep. However, mulch should be pulled away from the trunk or stem of the tree. Mulch left against the tree's bark can cause moisture buildup which can rot the bark and cause severe injury to the tree. The "volcano" of mulch around a tree's trunk should be avoided, and instead a "donut" of mulch should be applied. If using organic mulches, do not use a landscape fabric or plastic. Inorganic materials often used as mulch, such as landscape rocks, may also be used. However, rocks tend to absorb heat during the day and release it at night, which can be stressful for plants. Also, a landscape plastic or fabric under the rocks will be needed to control weeds, which is not needed when using organic mulch. Pruning: No pruning should occur at the time of planting except to remove dead or broken branches. Unnecessary pruning at this time may reduce the amount of stored energy the plant holds and may stress the tree. The city is divided into multiple pruning zones to rotate through city-wide pruning. Young trees (10 years or less) are pruned once every three years, and mature trees (greater than 10 years) are pruned once every six years. Fertilization: Adequate quantities of the essential nutrient elements should be available after new root growth starts. Provision of good drainage and adequate soil moisture are far more important following planting than fertilization. Apply fertilizer sparingly and only to correct a specific deficiency. Since excessive fertilization can "burn" roots and stimulate crown growth faster than the roots can supply water, it is best to wait until the third year after planting to begin applications. Staking: Bare root trees are staked with a minimum of two stakes to help stabilize trees while they establish. Container and balled and burlapped trees are not staked unless monitoring identifies a need to help stabilize while the tree establishes. If it is necessary to stake a tree after planting use only broad, soft strapping and leave some play for the tree to sway in the wind. Do not use wire surrounded by a garden hose as this may cause serious damage to the trunk. All staking material should be removed within two years unless deemed necessary for continued stability. Please also note that not all trees require staking to stabilize the trees. Contact your local forester or arborist for advice. Wrapping: Tree guards should be utilized when available for the first three years of establishment of newly planted trees when they are planted in areas that would be prone to damage from mowing, snow and ice, rodents, and sun scald. Planting Guidelines General: The following standards shall apply to trees and shrubs in city owned property such as right-of-way and park and open space. In addition, the standards shall apply to private property trees during a state of emergency declared by the Mayor or City Council. Restrictions to Planting Trees: The following are general restrictions to planting trees within the City of Shakopee: 10 10 1 1. Have underground utilities located. 2. Do not plant trees within city owned property such as park and open space without prior written approval. These trees will become the property of the city. 3. Do not plant trees within city owned right-of-way without prior written approval. These trees will become the property of the city and may be removed as determined by the city. 4. Do not plant trees within drainage and utility easements without prior written approval. Future city improvement projects may require the removal of these trees. 5. Do not plant trees within Conservation Easements without prior written approval from the city. 6. Trees are to be planted a minimum of 5 feet from all property lines. The city recommends planting trees 10 feet from all property lines. Reconstructed and Widened Streets: When trees are removed in preparation for reconstruction or widening of any established street, new trees will be planted provided there is adequate space in the right-of-way to support tree growth. The expense of this planting shall be borne by the city and incorporated into the project. The Department of Public Works shall determine the amount, location and species of these trees. New Subdivisions: In the development of new subdivisions or commercial property, removal and planting of trees must meet the requirements of City Code Sections 151.112 and 151.113. Unimproved Streets: Trees shall not be planted in the right-of-way of unimproved streets or where no curb and gutter exists without approval from the Department of Public Works. Pruning Standards General: All pruning shall follow the USDA Forest Service's How to Prune Trees manual (see references) for the purpose of crown cleaning, crown thinning, crown raising, and structure development. Pruning shall improve the appearance of the trees and maintain the crown shape and symmetry typical of the species at its given size and age. Permission from the city is required before any pruning is done on city owned and maintained trees. Pruning Cuts: All final cuts shall be "collar cuts" made sufficiently close to the trunk or parent limb, without cutting into the branch collar or leaving a protruding stub, so that closure can readily begin under normal conditions. The face of the "collar cut" or wound area shall be circular in form. "Flush" cuts to the main stem behind the branch collar and that leave oval exposed wounds shall not be made. Cuts shall be clean and made such that all wound sides are even edged and do not leave "dog ear" ridges on one side or another. All limbs removed shall be cut in such a manner so as to prevent any ripping or tearing of the wood or bark on the parent or remaining stem. Large limbs shall be cut using the three - cut pruning method as shown in Figure 4. Limbs shall be brought to the ground as to prevent any damage to property, publicly or privately owned. 11 10 2 Dead branch branch bark ridge 11/ /\• 1�� branch collar First cut part way through the branch at A; then cut it off at B.

Live branch branch collar UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA EXTENSION sgreacc Figure 4 Proper Pruning Techniques — 3 Cut Method Crown Cleaning: Crown cleaning should remove all dead, dying, diseased, crowded, weakly attached and low -vigor branches. Interior crowding and crossed or rubbing branches should be pruned where practical so as not to leave large holes in the general form of the tree. Trunk suckers and water sprouts, especially where they are present below the bottom 1/2 of the tree, should also be removed as part of crown cleaning. Suckers and sprouts that add to the shape of the tree above 14 feet may remain in mature trees that may not have an optimum crown or shape. Crown Thinning: Crown thinning, primarily for hardwoods, is the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement throughout the crown of a tree. The intent is to maintain or develop a tree's structure and form. To avoid unnecessary stress and prevent excessive production of epicormic sprouts, no more than one -quarter of the living crown should be removed at a time. If it is necessary to remove more, it should be done over successive years. Branches with strong U-shaped angles of attachment should be retained. Branches with narrow, V-shaped angles of attachment often form included bark and should be removed. Included bark forms when two branches grow at sharply acute angles to one another, producing a wedge of inward -rolled bark between them. Included bark prevents strong attachment of branches, often causing a crack at the point below where the branches meet. Co -dominant stems that are approximately the same size and arise from the same position often form included bark. Removing some of the lateral branches from a co - dominant stem can reduce its growth enough to allow the other stem to become dominant. Lateral branches should be no more than one-half to three-quarters of the diameter of the stem at the point of attachment. Avoid producing "lion's tails," tufts of branches and foliage at the ends of branches, caused by removing all inner lateral branches and foliage. Lion's tails can result in sun -scalding, abundant epicormic sprouts, and weak branch structure and breakage. Branches that rub or cross another branch should be removed. Conifers that have branches in whorls and pyramidal crowns rarely need crown thinning except to restore a dominant leader. Occasionally, the leader of a tree may be damaged and multiple branches may become co -dominant. Select the strongest leader and remove competing branches to prevent the development of co -dominant stems. 12 10 3 Crown Raising: Crown raising is the practice of removing branches from the bottom of the crown of a tree to provide clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, buildings, lines of site, or to develop a clear stem for timber production. Also, removing lower branches on white pines can prevent blister rust. For street trees the minimum clearance is often specified by municipal ordinance. After pruning, the ratio of the living crown to total tree height should be at least two-thirds (e.g., a 12 m tree should have living branches on at least the upper 8 m). On young trees "temporary" branches may be retained along the stem to encourage taper and protect trees from vandalism and sun scald. Less vigorous shoots should be selected as temporary branches and should be about 10 to 15 cm apart along the stem. They should be pruned annually to slow their growth and should be removed eventually. Crown Reduction: Crown reduction pruning is most often used when a tree has grown too large for its permitted space. This method, sometimes called drop crotch pruning, is preferred to topping because it results in a more natural appearance, increases the time before pruning is needed again, and minimizes stress (see drop crotch cuts in the next section). Crown reduction pruning, a method of last resort, often results in large pruning wounds to stems that may lead to decay. This method should never be used on a tree with a pyramidal growth form. A better long term solution is to remove the tree and replace it with a tree that will not grow beyond the available space. Clearance Pruning: Clearance of houses and buildings should be such that branches are a minimum of 15 feet from rooftops. Trees and other vegetation shall be pruned to maintain a clear line of sight when approaching all traffic control devices and intersections. Tools: Proper tools such as hand pruners, pole saws, handsaws, and chain saws shall be used for each cut. The cutting edge of each tool shall be positioned to obtain a proper pruning cut so it will not cut, rip, or harm adjacent bark areas. At no time shall any person working in trees for pruning purposes, wear spurs or any other footwear, which, in the opinion of the Public Works Director or designate, may injure the tree being pruned. Site Appearance and Clean Up: Pruned limbs and branches temporarily placed in the right- of-way area shall be placed in such a manner as to eliminate any obstruction to motor vehicles and pedestrians. Site cleanup shall include removal of small twigs, chips, leaves and limbs from the street, curb, right-of-way, sidewalk, private lawns and driveways with the appropriate tools for the job. The site shall be returned to the same state it existed in prior to the pruning work. Under no circumstances shall any materials be allowed to lie in the right- of-way overnight. Topping: It is an unacceptable practice to top any public tree in the city and it is not recommended for any private tree. Topping is the indiscriminate cutting back of tree branches to stubs or lateral branches that are not large enough to assume the terminal role of growth. Property owners often feel that their trees have become too large for their property and feel the need to reduce the tree's height. Topping, however, is not a viable method of height reduction and will make a tree more hazardous in the long term by encouraging excessive growth and extensive decay. Topping trees for utility clearance purposes should not be the standard operating procedure. Pruning trees for line clearance is necessary and understandable. However, proper pruning cuts need to be made and only those limbs necessary for proper clearance should be 13 10 4 pruned. Trees located under utility lines that require excessive pruning or pruning needs beyond what is acceptable for proper pruning, should be considered for outright removal and replaced with a suitable tree species for under utility lines. Topping trees is not an acceptable method of pruning under any circumstances and should not be done to any tree or part of within city right-of-way, park, or open space. Trees damaged by storms or other causes, or trees under utility lines or other obstructions where other pruning practices are not practical may be exempt from City Code Section 151.113 at the determination of the Director of Public Works, or SPUC Utilities Manager or delegate. Pruning of Oaks: In an effort to minimize the spread of Oak Wilt (Ceratocystis fagacearurn), Shakopee City Code Section 151.113 states that the pruning of Oak trees or collateral damage to Oak trees from adjacent tree removal shall be avoided from April 1st thru July 31st which is the most susceptible period of infection, except by written permission of city personnel. Trees damaged by storms or other causes during this time may be treated with a nontoxic wound dressing. Final pruning cuts should be made in dormant season to remove stub with wound dressing. Treating Wounds: Tree sap, gums, and resins are the natural means by which trees combat invasion by pathogens. Although unsightly, sap flow from pruning wounds is not generally harmful; however, excessive "bleeding" can weaken trees. When oaks or elms are wounded during a critical time of year (usually spring for oaks, or throughout the growing season for elms) -- either from storms, other unforeseen mechanical wounds, or from necessary branch removals -- some type of wound dressing should be applied to the wound. Do this immediately after the wound is created. In most other instances, wound dressings are unnecessary, and may even be detrimental. Wound dressings will not stop decay or cure infectious diseases. They may actually interfere with the protective benefits of tree gums and resins, and prevent wound surfaces from closing as quickly as they might under natural conditions. The only benefit of wound dressings is to prevent introduction of pathogens in the specific cases of Dutch elm disease and oak wilt. Tree Removal Guidelines General: There are many factors that contribute to transforming a tree from an asset to a liability. They include: disease, infestation, decay, and mechanical damage, which can cause a tree to be structurally unsound, and therefore unsafe. It is the guideline of the city to base tree removals on safety related criteria and liability. As specified in the City of Shakopee ordinances, the only persons who may authorize the planting or removal of a city tree is the Public Works Director or designee. Any person who desires to remove any Tree on any parcel of land may be required to submit a Tree Preservation Plan to the city and must demonstrate that there are no feasible or prudent alternatives to removing any tree. Control Areas: In accordance with state law, the City of Shakopee has designated the populated areas of the city as the areas where the diseased tree and shade tree pest program will be strictly enforced. The control area consists of the developed areas of the city including any scattered subdivisions. 14 10 5 In areas outside of the control areas, the diseased tree and shade tree pest program will be strictly enforced by the city only in those areas within '/4 mile of non -farm homesteads. Public Trees: The city will remove trees located on public property which contain a shade tree disease or shade tree pest which cause the trees to die. The city will remove these trees as quickly as possible for trees that create hazards located on street boulevards and in city park areas. For trees that have died or fallen that do not create hazards in city open space areas will not be removed. Anyone finding a tree on public property which appears to be diseased or infested but which has not been marked for removal should report the tree to the city. Private Trees: See City Code Section 130.15 for the removal of trees with a shade tree disease or shade tree pest from private property. See Appendix D for the Shade Tree Disease or Pest Inspection Form. Reforestation: The city will, to the extent possible under the current budget and/or project plans, attempt to replace boulevard and park trees removed because of shade tree diseases or shade tree pests by planting new trees. Stump Removal — Public Trees: The city or contractor hired by the city will remove stumps of public trees along right-of-way, parks, or other public open spaces. The city will not remove or grind out stumps for private trees, but rather this is the property owner's responsibility. Shakopee Tree and Shrub Maintenance Standards General: The following standards shall apply to trees and shrubs in city owned property such as right-of-way and park and open space. In addition, the standards shall apply to private property trees during a state of emergency declared by the Mayor or City Council. Boulevard Trees and Public Lands: The City of Shakopee will maintain all boulevard trees and public trees so as to not cause a hazard by trimming branches, pruning, etc. Trees that create hazards are those that are blocking street signs, traffic control devices or street lighting or have low hanging branches that cause hazards to vehicles or trucks such as garbage trucks, snowplows, fire trucks, etc. The city will maintain and trim branches so that there is a minimum of a nine foot clearance over sidewalks and a fifteen foot clearance over streets and alleys. Duties of Private Property Owners: Any trees and shrubs that are located on private property, but overhang public rights -of -way such as alleys, sidewalks, trails, or streets, shall be trimmed to the same standards above by the city or by the property owner as required by the city per City Code Section 90.05. In no case will the city trim private trees that are not overhanging onto right-of-way, park or other public property. Storm Damage: Any public trees that are damaged by storms will be maintained by the city, including picking up any tree branches that were blown down. The city will, to the extent possible under the current budget, attempt to replace public trees removed because of storm damage. 15 10 6 Any private trees damaged or that have branches blown down due to a storm shall be maintained or disposed of by the property owner, unless the City Council or Mayor declares a state of emergency. In that case, the city will provide assistance in picking up and disposing of storm damaged trees and branches for a specific length of time as determined by the Public Works Director. In these instances, the following requirements should be adhered to: a. The property owner should notify the city at least three days in advance of trees/branches needing pick up. b. Large tree pieces must be cut to 6 feet in length or less. c. Branches must be piled as follows: 1. All stems at the same end. 2. Stems pointing in the same direction as the flow of traffic. 3. Laid on the ground parallel to the curb. d. Trees and branches must be placed next to the curb, or edge of the street (not in the street and if possible, not on the sidewalk). e. City crews will not enter private property to pick up trees or branches. Unauthorized Removals: See City Code Section 151.113 for information on unauthorized removals. Miscellaneous Maintenance Practices Stump Removal: The stumps of all removed trees shall be ground to a depth of at least eight inches (8") below the surrounding ground level. The excess stump chips shall be removed, the hole filled with clean topsoil, and the site graded and seeded. Watering of newly established grass will then be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. All costs associated with stump removal shall be borne by whoever bears the cost of tree removal. Fertilization: The city does not, in general, fertilize boulevard trees. A resident who wishes to fertilize the boulevard tree(s) adjacent to their property shall request written permission from the city. The Department of Public Works has the authority to approve or deny a fertilization request. All fertilization shall adhere to the American National Standards Institute's Standard Practices for Tree Care Operations — Fertilization (ANSI A 300 (Part 2). Cabling and Bracing: Tree support systems are used to provide supplemental support to leaders, individual branches, and /or entire trees by limiting their movement. When a tree has a structural defect or condition that poses a high risk of failure, a supplemental support system can often reduce the risk. However, not all potential hazards can be mitigated by their installation and cabling and bracing will be prohibited in boulevards. It is essential that each tree be carefully examined for risk of failure by a qualified arborist to ensure that the system 16 10 7 will achieve its objective of providing added support, without increasing the risk of tree failure. As a general rule, cables should be located above the crotch at a point approximately two- thirds (2/3) of the distance between the crotch and tops of the branch ends. Rust -resistant cables, thimbles and lags should be used and thimbles must be used in the eye splice in each end of the cable. Under no circumstances shall cable be wrapped around a branch. All cabling and bracing practices shall follow the American National Standards Institute's Standard Practices for Tree Care Operations — Support Systems, Cabling, Bracing, and Guying (ANSI A300 (Part 3)-2000) and the International Society of Arboriculture's companion publication Best Management Practices — Tree Support Systems: Cabling, Bracing, and Guying (2001). Chemical Treatment: The city, in general, limits the use of pesticides, fungicides and herbicides on its public trees. Applications may be done for the control of specific diseases or insects with the proper timing and materials to obtain the desired level of control. Suitable precautions shall be taken to protect and warn the public chemical treatment is being done. All application practices shall conform to the appropriate State and Federal regulations. A resident who wishes to apply chemical treatments to the boulevard tree(s) adjacent to their property shall request written permission from the city. The Department Public Works has the authority to approve or deny a chemical treatment application request. Residents applying for permission to apply chemical treatments must submit the following information: type of chemical, timing (weeks(s) to be applied), quantity to be used, application method, reason for chemical use and proof of a valid Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator License Number. Gopher State One and Local Utilities Upon issuance of a permit, a person planting an item shall have underground utilities located prior to digging or planting by calling Gopher State One at 651-454-0002 or online at www.gopherstateonecall.org. Proper marking of excavation sites prior to calling ensures that no resident, employee or utility are at risk from damage to unmarked utilities. Work within 18" of any underground utility requires hand digging to expose the facility and prevent unnecessary damage to utilities. Private utilities (i.e. irrigation, pet fences, private lighting etc.) located within the public right-of-way shall be marked by the adjacent property owner at their expense. The city cannot assume responsibility for any damage as a result of unmarked private utilities in the right-of-way. 17 10 8 References American National Standards Institute.

Staff analyzed revenues, expenditure information and initiatives to prepare a budget and levy for your consideration. From providing fun recreation programs and beautiful parks to ensuring safe neighborhoods, providing high -quality services enhance and protects people's lives. Responsible fiscal management also builds the foundation for the city to run smoothly and provide effective, innovative programs and services while keeping in mind ways to evolve to meet future expectations and demands. Decisions are made with the future in mind to ensure the city's ongoing ability to provide high quality services at a reasonable price. Levy Request & Impact It's important to note that we are in the early stages of budget development. Staff continues to adjust the budget as new information is received. To provide greater transparency and clarity, the 2027 operational budget narrative separates the Fire Department's transition to 24/7 staffing from the operations across all other city departments. This separation, provided in the budget memo, helps clearly delineate the strategic investment in fire services from the incremental budget cost from the various other services provided by the city. Fire Department In 2026, the City of Shakopee fully achieved its operational goal of transitioning from a hybrid/volunteer response model to full-time, 24/7 coverage across both city -owned fire stations. This modernization ensures timely, around -the -clock emergency response for all of our residents, visitors, businesses and industrial properties. Key accomplishments and community outcomes: ✓ Station #2 Dedicated Coverage: Fire Station #2 is permanently staffed for the first time with full-time personnel on site around the clock, significantly reducing response times in the southern and western response areas. ✓ Improved Emergency Response Times: Eliminating off -duty call-back delays ensures immediate response, directly benefitting life safety and property protection during critical incident windows. 122 ✓ Enhanced Command & Operations Safety: The strategic reorganization established three Battalion Chiefs and three Captains from existing positions, bringing dedicated supervisory oversight, structured incident command and enhanced response to active emergency scenes. ✓ Federal Grant Leverage: The city successfully secured $2.63 million in federal funding through the Department of Homeland Security's Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant. This grant subsidized the baseline hiring of 12 new full-time firefighters hired in March 2026. The SAFER Grant award is distributed across three years (March 2026 to March 2029) and requires a progressive local match (25% in Year 1, 25% in Year 2, and 65% in Year 3). The City Council approved a budget amendment to utilize available fund balance to cover the initial 2026 city share, the 2027 budget integrates the second -year grant match and localized operational costs into the ongoing levy. In addition to the 12 grant -related positions, City Council authorized three additional full-time firefighters to complete necessary station shift schedules. A significant portion of these costs were offset with the reduction in part-time personnel. The 2027 Fire Department budget accounts for cost -of -living adjustments, anticipated market -rate adjustments for union contracts, related fringe and benefits, operating costs related to staffing an additional building, and a proposed dedicated vehicle for the Battalion Chief. The impact on the 2027 budget and levy is as follows.

Revenues (excluding Fire) The city is projecting an overall net increase of $343,300 in non -property tax revenues for the 2027 budget. A summary of revenue changes are as follows with explanations below: Description Change Rental housing $180,000 Right of way permits (offset with contracted services) 150,000 Interest income (General fund) 100,000 Engineering fees (offset with contracted services) 90,000 Shakopee Public Utilities pilot fee 65,000 Restaurant lease (SandVenture) 42,000 Grade fees (offset with contracted services) 40,000 Municipal State Aid (MSA) maintenance funds 34,000 Other (net adjustments) 44,300 Restaurant licenses and inspections (offset with inspector wages and benefits) (122,000) Building permit revenues (280,000) Change in Revenues $343,300 Rental housing, right of way, engineering and grading revenues have been adjusted based on actual revenues over the past couple of years. The right of way, engineering and grading revenues are offset by increased contractual services costs in the engineering department as these revenues are collected to pay for the cost of third -party inspections and oversight. The city has not yet been granted delegation from the state, which is required to complete the health and safety inspection of our hotels and restaurants. As a result, the restaurant licenses and inspections revenue along with the cost of the position has been removed from the budget. Building permits have been strong over the past few years, the building permit forecast assumes that we continue to see residential units added in 2027, but less activity from commercial developments resulting in a net decrease of $280,000. Transfers to the General Fund Transfers from other city funds to the General Fund help pay for operating costs. Description Public safety fund (patrol officer reimbursement) I $100,000 Self-insurance fund 350,000 2026 2027 I Change $ - $(100,000) 300,000 (50,000 Sewer/storm water (allocation of admin overhead) 400,000 400,000 - EDA (allocation of admin overhead) 50,000 50,000 - Change in transfers $(150,000) 125 Staff recommends utilizing $300,000 of fund balance from the city's self-insurance fund to offset costs associated with an increase in the employer share of health insurance premiums (this is a decrease of $50,000 from was used for the 2026 budget). The city continues to explore a potential implementation of a Scott County health insurance pool, a partnership with Scott County and other local partners. The original funding of $600,000 was set -aside initially in 2017 when the city began exploring self-insurance options. Expenditures (excluding Fire) A number of factors will impact the cost of operations in next year's budget. The expenditures have been further categorized in this section as wages and benefits, operational (on -going) expenditures, rent (equipment and capital replacement) and one-time adjustments. Wages and benefits Description Cost of living adjustment — 3% $574,690 Health Insurance — 16.3% estimate 328,090 Recreation part-time 70,340 Sergeants (market rate adjustment) 47,000 Other (step changes, benefit election changes, etc) (81,820) Election judges (non -election year) Health inspector Workers compensation — reduced rates Change Change in wages & benefits (94,120) (120,900) (160,680) $562,600 Wages and benefits account for nearly 70% of the City's General Fund costs. The City has five unions (Patrol, Sergeants, Captains, Fire and Public Works). The 2027 budget has been built with the assumption that the unions and non-union wages will see an equivalent 3.0 percent cost of living adjustment. At this point, the health insurance premium amounts for 2027 are unknown. The preliminary 2027 budget currently includes an increase in health insurance premiums of 16.3 percent, based on data used as the city explored a health insurance pool with Scott County and other local partners. Reductions to the wage budget include election judges (non -election year), health inspector costs as the position will remain vacant until the city receives delegation from the state for inspections, and workers compensation as rates have seen a decrease over the past two years. There are currently no proposed new positions in the 2027 budget. 126 Operational Expenditure Changes Adjustments to operating budgets that are anticipated to continue into future years are shown below. These include contractual and utility increases. Description ROW — professional services Change $150,000 Engineering — professional services 100,000 Software 72,290 Property insurance 34,800 Street — street light replacements, signs & striping 30,000 Utilities (electric/water/gas) 28,900 Community Center/Ice Arena RTU Maintenance 20,000 Other (net) 149,420 Removal of prior year additional contingency (135,100) Change in operational expenses $450,310 As mentioned in the revenue section, engineering professional services are offset with revenues related to right of way and engineering fees. The City has contracted with third party engineering firms to provide these inspection and oversight services. Software includes contractual increases along software that was previously purchased using tribal funds that are now being incorporated as on -going costs of the police department. The "other" category is the lump sum of all other changes across the departments (excluding fire), there were no individual change to line items exceeding $15,000. The City has typically budgeted $100,00 as a contingency line item, last year's budgeted included an additional $85,100 for unknowns related to fire staffing. The 2027 budget sets the contingency at $50,000 (a reduction of $135,100). Rent Changes The city utilizes internal services funds to accumulate funds for the purchase or replacement of city equipment and facilities. The funding sources are annual rents (internal charges) to the appropriate departments. a Description 1 Equipment Rent 1 Building Rent Park Facilities Rent Change Fire Allocation i Net $40,000 27,600 50,000 $32,800 I $7,200 4,500 0 23,100 50,000 Information Technology Rent 9,100 20,900 (11,800) Change in internal rent charges $126,700 $58,200 $68,500 The equipment rent increase is both a result of new equipment being added to the schedule as well as increases in year over year costs of vehicles and equipment. A 20 -year equipment replacement schedule is included in the 5 -year Capital Improvement Plan that identifies all equipment, useful lives, replacement years and costs. 127 Building rents are set with the intention that they would provide the funding for major maintenance projects (roofs, boilers, hvac, etc.), but not fully fund building replacement or new construction. The rent increase is both the result of projects related to the aging of city buildings and inflationary costs of those projects. The annual cost for the various internal service funds are calculated based on estimated useful life or scheduled replacement dates. The amounts for 2027 have been further adjusted (decreased) based on current balances. Allocations to the fire department represent about 46% of the total increase as the result of added equipment and personnel (technology rent). One-time Adjustments The General Fund up and down swings are typically moderated through the use of internal rent charges. However, a few one-time adjustments have been included in this budget. These costs will not be recurring in the future and will be removed from the 2028 budget. Description Change Code Enforcement vehicle $59,000 Building Inspector — electric vehicle 55,600 Comprehensive Plan (2nd year allocation of $100k plus $50k for transportation plan) Road Materials/Salt (one-time inventory reduction from 2026) 50,000 Log Cabin — tables and chair replacements 50,000 Change in one-time costs 10,000 $224,600 Additional Request for Consideration The following additional item has not been included in the 2027 Preliminary Budget but will be presented for City Council consideration. Description Full-time Public Works employee Amount $104,500 Public Works is requesting an additional employee to assist with maintaining streets, utilities, parks, stormwater systems and public facilities. The position would be split with the sanitary and sewer utilities, limiting the property levy to 50% of the full cost. The city continues to experience growth, resulting in a significant increase in the workload for the Public Works Department. Shakopee has added considerable lane miles, new subdivisions, trail segments, municipal facilities and expanded utility infrastructure. Despite the growing inventory, staffing levels within Public Works have not increased at a proportional rate. Capital Project Funds Staff and city council have reviewed the 2027-2031 CIP and projects programmed for 2027. The CIP identifies $30.4 million in projects for 2027. The creation and update of a multi -year capital plan allows the city to plan for its current and long-term needs. Project areas within the CIP include buildings, equipment replacement, information technology, parks, street, sanitary 128 sewer and storm drainage. The CIP is a published as a separate document and include appendixes for a 15 -year CIP, 20 -year equipment replacement schedule and a long-term financial plan. Economic Development Authority The Shakopee EDA has the statutory authority to levy a small percentage (up to 0.0185%) of the city's taxable market value, which for 2027 would be a maximum of $1,598,946. The EDA and City Council can set the levy at any amount up to this cap. The EDA levy is identified on property tax statements as a separate local tax outside of the city's general property tax. For 2027, the preliminary request is for an EDA levy of $550,000 (no change). Additional funding is provided through a contribution of percent of revenues from the Shakopee Public Utilities Commission. The EDA serves as the landlord for the main level business tenants at River City Centre. The EDA currently owns the land and the CDA owns the building. The activity (lease revenue and expenditures) is accounted for in a separate fund of the EDA. Taxable Market Value The city's taxable market value is $8.98 billion, which is an increase of $333 million (4.3%) from last year. Residential saw the largest increase in market value (5.7%). New construction accounted for 43.3% of the increase in taxable market value.

The city typically receives the final amounts at the end of August. The total net tax capacity of the city is estimated at $92,953,556 compared to $89,527,644 in 2026, which is an increase of $3,425,912 (3.8%). 130 The gross tax capacity is adjusted for the increase in tax capacity of properties within tax increment financing districts. The tax increment adjustment of $5.3 million represents 4.5 percent of gross tax capacity. The net increase is primarily related to a portion of Shakopee Flats and Canterbury Commons being added. It is important to note that these developments would not have occurred without the use of tax increment financing. The value and tax capacity of these districts are added to the city's tax roll upon the decertification of these districts. The gross tax capacity is also adjusted for the fiscal disparities program which is unique to the seven -county metro area and is further explained in the diagram below: CONTRIBUTION TO SHARED POOL Equals 40% of growth in commercial, industrial, and public utility property tax base since 1971 SHARED POOL OF TAX 00, BASE FOR METRO AREA DISTRIBUTION FROM SHARED POOL Based on population and market value of all property per person compared to average market value per person for metro area The city's estimated contribution to the program is $19.5 million in tax capacity. The estimated distribution amount has not yet been determined for 2027. The city of Shakopee was the 4`h highest net contributor to the program in 2026 at $11.7 million (10.0%) of tax capacity. City Tax Rates The tax levy and market value estimates are expected to have an impact on the city's tax rate, slightly increasing from 28.94 percent to an estimated 30.49 percent. This calculation will change, as the city received updates valuation numbers and the fiscal disparities distribution amount. 37% 35% 33% 31% 29% 27% Historical City Tax Rates 37.21% 34.94% 33.98% 32.10% 30.49% 32.11% 28.59% 28.94% 27.40% 27.77% 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 estimated *2027 estimate will be adjusted as market values and budget information is updated 131 Median Value Home The value of the median value home has increased from $361,300 to $375,300 over the past year. This is an increase of $14,000 (3.9%). The following chart provides information on the median value home and city property taxes paid since 2021. The orange bar and amounts on the left axis represent the median value home. $400,000 $350,000 $300,000 $250,000 $200,000 $150,000 $100,000 $50,000 $ $1,200 $1,000 $600 — $200 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 • Annual aty Taxes $877 $973 $909 $932 $1,005 $1,106 ■ Estimated Market Value $284,700 $346,500 $338,400 $350,700 $361,300 $375,300 As the budget stands currently, for the median value home this equates to an increase of $101 or (10.0 percent) annually in property taxes. Absent any change in value, homeowners can expect a tax increase of $54 or about 5.4 percent (taking into consideration the proposed tax rate). Enterprise Funds The city operates two public utility funds Sewer and Surface Water. These funds operate on their own ability to generate revenues and receive no property tax support. The Sewer fund provides for the collection and conveyance of wastewater through a system of mains and lift stations. Sewage is treated by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services, whose contracted services account for approximately 80 percent of the fund's operating expenditures. The Surface Water fund maintains the surface water system for the city, which includes 140 miles of storm sewer and 224 ponds. The City's sewer billings include a city usage rate, a city fixed rate, and Metropolitan Council disposal rate. The surface water charge is based on acreage with residential paying a monthly charge equivalent to 1/3 of an acre. Staff will be proposing rate increases, in the range of one to three percent) for each fund to keep pace with operational costs and maintain the current 132 balances of those funds. For a typical residential user, this would amount to approximately $14.40 annually for sewer charges and $1 annually in surface water charges. Shakopee is below comparable and surrounding cities when it comes to a cost comparison of city property taxes, sanitary sewer and storm water charges. The following chart provides the 2026 annual cost of services for a $350,000 value home (slightly below the median value home in Shakopee) and 5,000 gallons of water usage a month. A $350,000 home in Shakopee saw a decrease from the previous year as a result of the expanded market value exclusion and minimal tax rate, sewer and storm fee adjustments. $2,500 $2,250 $2,000 $1,750 $1,500 $1,2_50 $1,000 S750 $500 $250 5- 2026 Annual Cost of Services for Comparable & Surrounding Cities ($350,000 home - 5,000 gallons/month) S1,990 51,853 S1,858 S1,864 S1,562 S1,296 i S1,570 �.
