A super majority (4/5) is needed to approve the resolution. History The City uses the Five Year Capital Improvement Program and its Pavement Man- agement program to plan its infrastructure improvements and the financing for capital improvements. The 2016 Improvement Project proposes to reconstruct the street and upgrade utilities on Manitou Road, Black Oak Road, Hidden Pond Trail, Raspberry Ridge Road, and Timberglade Circle. The proposed project also in- cludes bituminous overlay of Appaloosa Trail and Highland Court. At its August 24, 2015 meeting the City Council adopted Resolution 15-137 authorizing staff to prepare a Feasibility Report for the 2016 Improvement Project as outlined in the CIP. The M.S. Chapter 429 process applies to all projects that will be financed in whole or part through special assessments or bond proceeds. The Manitou Road and Raspberry Ridge neighborhoods are considered in the re- port and includes improvements to Kopps Bay Addition, Kopps Bay Second Addi- tion, Mary Margaret 1st Addition, Raspberry Ridge Addition, Raspberry Ridge 1st Addition, Raspberry Ridge 2nd Addition, and Raspberry Ridge 3rd Addition located in Sections 26 & 25, Township 115, Range 22. These properties were platted and developed from 1950’s to 1990’s. A map of the project area (Exhibit 1) is included in the Feasibility Report. The proposed improvements include street reconstruc- tion or reclamation, storm sewer, storm water quality, sanitary sewer, watermain, concrete curb and gutter, and appurtenant work. On November 23, 2015, the City Council accepted the Feasbility Report, sched- uled the public hearing, and directed staff to evaluate two additional options for cost savings. The two additional options were evaluated by Staff and presented to City Council at the December 14, 2015 Council Workshop. Both options included improve- ments to Manitou Road, lining of the 15” RCP sanitary sewer, and different options addressing the larger watermain pipes within the Raspberry Ridge Neighborhood. 2 Option “C” proposes to use open cut replacement for the 16” watermain and re- construction of the street sections that contains the 16” watermain pipes. This op- tion would assess for street reconstruction per the assessment policy. Option “D” proposes to use trenchless technology (lining) to rehabilitate the existing 16” wa- termain and no reconstruction of the existing streets within the Raspberry Ridge Neighborhood. After discussion of all the options, the Council directed staff to pro- ceed with Option D. Current Circumstances The properties deemed to specially benefit from the improvements, in most cases the properties abutting the streets located in the project area, are subject to as- sessment. Each of the affected property owners have been notified in accordance with the statute regarding tonight’s Public Hearing. A Public Informational Meeting was held on December 16, 2015 to provide the property owners an opportunity to discuss the project in an informal setting prior to the Public Hearing. Meeting notices were sent to all properties located on Manitou Road as well as those within the Raspberry Ridge Neighborhood. Staff provided an update on the additional options, proposed improvements, project costs, esti- mated assessments and answered general questions regarding the project. Conclusion City Staff is prepared to discuss each of the concerns presented at the Public Hearing. If the Council deems the issues that have been brought up need to be addressed in the project plans and specifications, direction could be given to staff. The purpose of this Public Hearing is to determine project elements or whether the project should move forward at all. Completion of plans and specifications is the next step and will provide greater information about expected project cost and, therefore, the assessments associated with the improvements. Once the plans and specifications are completed, they will be submitted to the City Council for ap- proval and authorization to advertise for bids. The Council could decide not to continue with the project upon receipt of bids. A separate Assessment Hearing will be conducted following review of the proposed assessments by the City Coun- cil’s Assessment Review Committee. In summary, the project is feasible from an engineering and economic standpoint. If the project is approved, City staff will continue to work on completion of plans and specifications. ISSUES: The Assessment Review Workgroup met on October 20th, 2015, and recommended that the Feasibility Report review the two options shown, the assessment map, as- sessment method, and other report details. The Assessment Review Workgroup also recommended that the Assessment Policy be amended to clarify assessment for reclamation / rehabilitation. Since the Assessment Review Workgroup meeting, two additional options have been evaluated further and presented to the City Council. Direction to proceed with Option D will impact the assessment map and estimated assessment amount as it would eliminate reconstruction of the streets within the Raspberry Ridge Neighbor- hood. The estimated assessment amount is shown in the funding table below. 3 As part of the second informational meeting, below are some of the key items that were brought up and discussed at the meeting: Street lights Residential street lights are proposed for the project and will be installed per the City’s guidelines. Support for street lights were mixed, with some approving the proposal while others did not want street lights installed. Street Alignment Generally, streets in older neighborhoods are not centered within the the public right-of-way. For reconstruction projects, the City has made efforts to center the street within the right-of-way where it is practical and if existing topography allows. This method creates equity for the properties on each side of the street. A number of residents voiced their disapproval of this methodology and stated that they would like the street to stay in the same alignment. If the street is left in its current location, there are areas where the street encroaches onto private property. Assessment Rate Residents shared their concern that the assessment rate was high and they are hoping for lower assessments once the bids have been received. They also voiced their concern with econonmy of scale and that higher assessments were due to the Raspberry Ridge Neighborhood being removed from the project. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The 2016 Improvement Project is proposed to be financed by Special Assess- ments, tax levy, Sewer Fund, Water Fund, and Water Quality Fund. Funding sources for various options are shown in the Feasibility Report. It should be noted that each option utilizes different funding sources based on the improvement types. The funding of each option and the corresponding estimated amounts are shown in the table below. Please note that staff is moving forward with Option D unless through the Public Hearing process this option is amended. 2016 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT - FUNDING Funding Source Option A Option B Option C Option D Ad Valorem $1,622,069 $1,353,644 $1,223,927 $761,681 Assessment (40%) $1,018,685 $839,887 $815,951 $507,787 Utility Fund – Sewer $1,064,812 $1,005,319 $1,052,195 $1,020,630 Utility Fund – Water $1,190,050 $1,861,240 $1,006,418 $1,169,900 Water Quality Fund $27,908 $29,962 $24,978 $12,193 Assessment (Per Unit) – Reclamation $6,533 Assessment (Per Unit) – Reconstruction $10,395 $10,873 $10,597 $11,039 Total $4,923,524 $5,090,052 $4,123,469 $3,472,191 4 As part of the 2016 Budget process the staff shared with the city council the pro- jected 2017 tax impacts for debt service from projects the city council approves and completes in 2016. If the city council elects to move forward with this pro- ject as proposed in Option D then the estimated debt service levy impact will be 0.9% after you factor in bonding costs. While the staff supports this project to assure that we maintain city infrastructure, the council should be aware that ac- tion to approve this project begins to establish the tax levy you will consider later this year. Earlier tonight the city council conducted a work session on bonding, sewer and water rates. This discussion will impact the 2016 Improvement Project as well as future improvement projects. If the city council did not reach a conclusion at the work session with regard to bonding and utility rates, it may be worthwhile to con- duct this public hearing and either close the public portion of the hearing or con- tinue the hearing to a future meeting pending a review and recommendation from the Special Assessment Work Group with respect to these topics and how they should be addressed as part of the financing of this project. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Conduct the public hearing and either close the public portion of the hearing or continue the hearing pending a recommendation from the Special Assessment Work Group with respect to bonding and utility rates. 2. Approve a Resolution by 4/5 vote ordering the 2016 Improvement Project. 3. Deny this item for a specific reason and provide staff with direction. 4. Table this item until some date in the future.
