ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the revised Purchasing Policy dated January 4, 2017.
INTRODUCTION:
Historically, the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) has followed the same purchasing policy
used by the City of Edina. This item proposes to continue that practice. It is recommended that the updated
purchasing policy adopted by the City Council in January 2017 also be used by the Edina HRA.

There are multiple spending thresholds that trigger both statutory and policy requirements.
These are referred to as Purchase Levels. Table 1 below outlines the necessary process and
documentation for the different Purchase Levels, including what purchasers should do if a
purchase uses federal dollars. Purchasers should acquire all of the documentation and
authorization indicated for the applicable Purchase Level. The majority of purchases made by
the City will be a Purchase Level 1-4. However, if federal dollars are used for a purchase,
Purchase Level 5, the federal regulations preempt city policy and purchasers should refer to the
federal regulations for direction in the use of those funds. These funds may become available
through different mechanisms, such as Community Development Block Grants. Purchasers
must be confident in their funding source to ensure that they are following the correct
purchasing procedure. The Finance Department is available as a resource to help identify what
federal regulations apply to a purchase.

Purchases not within budget should be coded accurately within a department’s budget,
but the adjustments necessary to absorb that cost should also be described under
Budget Impact in the Purchase Evaluation. Recording the Budget Impact on the purchase
evaluation helps to document these instances as well as facilitate better budget
management throughout the City.
Possible Considerations for the Budget Impact of a purchase are:
What is the funding source for this purchase?
b. Environmental Impact
Consideration for the environmental impact of City purchases translates to a safer,
more sustainable, and healthier environment for Edina residents as well as for people
and animals in our larger community, region, and world. All purchases have an impact on
the environment; our goal is to manage that impact by mitigating negative impacts and
creating positive ones. Staff should consider the lifecycle impact for their purchases. Life
cycle impacts include the sourcing, manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal of a
product and represent the environmental resources consumed, emitted, or impacted by
a product. In addition, the Environmental Impact of a purchase could identify how a
purchase affects the City’s use of resources such as carbon, energy, water and waste.
Product life-cycle:
Environmental considerations can vary based on the type of purchase being considered.
Staff are encouraged to partner with the Edina Sustainability Coordinator in the
Administration Department to inform what considerations are appropriate for their
purchases.
Possible Considerations for the Environmental Impact of a purchase are:
Energy - Does this purchase and its use utilize more energy, same amount of
energy, or reduce energy? How much energy consumption or savings?
Water – Does this purchase and its use utilize more water, same amount of
water, or a reduction of water? How much water consumption or savings (in
gallon or acre-feet)?
Is this a replacement or a new product/service?
What are the costs related to managing and disposing of this product?

Water Energy Carbon Material Waste
Page | 5
Material Waste – Does this purchase and its use create more, same amount or a
reduction of waste? When we are done using it, where will this
product/material go?
Natural Resources – Is there an impact to other natural resources (wildlife
habitat, trees, soil, and/or air quality)?
Carbon – Is there a carbon footprint estimation for this item?
Certification(s) – Does this product have a certification from the approved list in
the environmental purchasing policy? What certification?
c. Community Impact
The ultimate purpose of all City purchasing is to benefit the Edina community. The
Community Impact of a purchase can reflect the impact that filling an organizational
need will have on the community, how a purchase impacts a specific demographic within
the Edina community or how the purchase affects the Edina community over time. The
City has a vested interested in allocating funding to equitably serve residents in the Edina
community. All expenditures of public funds are tied to a public purpose; the
Community Impact section on the Purchase Evaluation is a space for staff to articulate
how a purchase meets that purpose.
Possible Considerations for the Community Impact of a purchase are:
What are the human resources needed to manage and dispose of this purchase?
Does this purchase support a particular demographic in the community?
Does this purchase have a long term or short term impact on Edina residents?
Authorization Phase
The Authorization Phase is the final phase before purchase. The purchase authorization
workflow is outlined in Table 1. The City Manager acts as the City’s chief purchasing agent and
has the unilateral power to authorize or delegate authorization for purchases under $20,000.
Purchases under $10,000 may be made with a purchasing card (p-card) or invoice. Purchases
over $10,000 require both a Purchase Authorization and a Purchase Evaluation form. The City
Manager grants authority to Department Directors to manage department budget including
documentation for purchases that are included in the approved City Budget and to assign
department spending thresholds.
Purchases over $20,000 must be approved by City Council according to Minnesota Statute
412.691. The mayor must sign ordinances, contracts authorized by the council, and written
orders for payment of claims that have been audited and allowed by the council. These are
ministerial duties, and the mayor may not refuse to sign if the purpose, approval, and form are
legally correct and complete per Minnesota Statutes 412.191 and 412.201.
The Purchase Authorization form should advance through the authorization workflow.
Department directors, in partnership with the Finance Department, set spending thresholds for
purchasers within their departments. By doing so, department directors may delegate authority
Page | 6
to authorize purchases up to the set amount to employees. Purchasers are only allowed to
authorize funds from within their own department’s budget. In the instance of the need for
funds outside of one’s department budget, the purchaser should partner with an approved
purchasing agent from the necessary department/fund.
Once the final authorization has been granted, the purchaser should submit one copy of the
Purchase Authorization to the vendor for processing and retain a copy for attachment to the
invoice when it is returned to the purchaser.
Payment Phase
The Payment Phase reflects the purchasing process. Invoicing for purchases follows the
workflow defined by departments for their particular needs. Requests to alter invoicing
workflow should be directed to the Finance Department. All payments for purchases and
services must be made within 35 days according to Minnesota Statute 471.425.
All public work contracts over $100,000 require the City to obtain both a payment bond and a
performance bond per Minnesota Statute 574.26. Payment and performance bonds protect the
City as well as subcontractors and persons providing labor and materials. When a contract for
public work is let, the amount of the bonds needs to be equal to the contract price. If the
contract price increases due to change orders, unforeseen conditions, cost overruns or any
other reason after the contract is signed, the City has the option of increasing the amount of
the contractor’s bond. Consideration may be given for the percentage of the contract that is
complete in relation to the contractor’s bond and the increase in the contract price.
When assigning payment codes, purchasers should code according to the most accurate line
item associated with the purchase. In the instance of a particular line item exceeding the
budgeted amount, department directors are responsible for managing the allocation of funding
to other department line items to ensure that purchases do not put the department as a whole
over budget.
When an invoice over $10,000 is returned to the purchaser for coding, the purchaser will
upload the Purchase Evaluation and Purchase Authorization forms completed for that purchase
along with the invoice.

4416 Valley View Road – Status and Overview
Information / Background:
The City acquired the parcel at 4416 Valley View Road fifteen years ago. The parcel has remained
vacant since the former service station was demolished.
Last year, the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) issued a Request for Proposals
with the intention of enabling new development that is consistent with the recently adopted Small
Area Plan and returning the parcel to the tax rolls.
Two parties have shown considerable interest in the site. Each party could include the City-owned
parcel as part of a multi-parcel development that brings considerable reinvestment to Valley View
Road and Kellogg Avenue.
A closed session is tentatively scheduled on March 21st to discuss the possible sale of real estate.
This agenda item is presented in advance to answer questions regarding the process employed to
identify viable options. The recent actions are summarized in the following pages.
