CREDIT RIVER ROAD PROJECT B. 150TH AND TH 13 PROJECT C. PROJECT FUNDING DISCUSSION: Introduction The purpose of this workshop is to present to the Council an update on the status of several projects as well as bonding for 2015 projects. History Yearly the City Council approves the Capital Improvement Plan which sets in motion the projects for the upcoming year and beyond. In some cases the projects involve other agencies and planning for those projects spans years in order to line up fund- ing. City Staff attempt to be conservative in calculating preliminary costs for the projects in the CIP. However as these projects develop and are studied, new information is encountered that can sometimes change project costs. Tonight we would like to share specific information relating to two projects and have a discussion on overall project funding. Current Circumstances Credit River Road The Credit River Road project builds two segments of Credit River Road adjacent to CSAH 21. The segment of Credit River Road between Franklin Trail and TH 13 may be impacted in the future when the CSAH 21 and TH 13 intersection is recon- structed. City staff has studied this area and will present design options with the City Council. The costs and impacts of these options will be discussed. We have been working with the county of late on this topic and there may be some information available to share from recent discussions. TH 13/ 150th Street On the regular City Council agenda is an item which discusses property acquisition for the TH 13 and 150th Street Project. Please review that report for more infor- mation. The discussion at the work session will be focused on the reasons for addi- tional property acquisition and increases in overall costs. Phone 952.447.9800/Fax 952.447.4245/www.cityofpriorlake.com Project Funding The above referenced projects and others listed below have a significant impact on the tax levy and approach the$10 million bank qualified bonding limits. Project fund- ing for all projects will be discussed to provide the Council with an overall financial picture for 2015 projects. Welcome Avenue (2013) On February 23, 2015, a closed executive session will be held to discuss the status of the two special assessment appeals and the potential financial impact. Final anal- ysis of the project costs and funding sources will be prepared and discussed, as well. Stemmer Ridge Costs have been incurred to prepare a feasibility report reflecting various options. The Council approved a contract which authorized up to about $95k to prepare this feasibility report. Project expenditures (excluding staff time) through 12/31/14 amount to $73k for this contract as well as a sanitary sewer extension permit. The Council will be considering a contract later this evening for the design, prepara- tion of plans and specifications, and construction observation for the Stemmer Ridge improvements in the amount of$496,800 in order that the special assessment pro- ject which the council has already approved may move forward. On a separate track, the City is also pursuing an agreement with the SMSC. The SMSC is working with Bolton Menk as their engineer. If the Stemmer Ridge Project proceeds as a City project, the City would bond ap- proximately $3.6 Million. Conclusion City Staff are looking for direction from the City Council regarding the Credit River Road alignment options as well as questions or comments with respect to project funding. FINANCIAL Estimated Bonding Needs for 2015 IMPACT: Attached is an estimate of the bonding requirements for projects in 2015. The origi- nal estimate that was prepared in conjunction with the 2015-2019 Capital Improve- ment Program was$10M. Based on updated figures and Council actions or direction on specific projects, the estimate has increased to $11.8M. The amounts could fur- ther change based on actual bids, cost of property acquisition, etc. On February 23, 2015, the Council will be considering the annual "Declaration of Intent to Bond" as part of the consent agenda. This will include the $11.8M plus the other projects that were originally included in the CIP. This preserves the City's op- tion to issue debt for these projects but in no way obligates the City to do so.
