Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: December 19, 2005 10F Frank Boyles, City Manager AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE STAFF TO PROCEED WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF VARIOUS PROJECTS CONTEMPLATED IN THE 2006 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. DISCUSSION: Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is to adopt a resolution to initiate various capital projects contained in the 2006 Capital Improvement Program. Historv Each year the City updates the Capital Improvement Program which is the City's five-year capital project planning tool. In order to initiate the anticipated projects, the council typically receives a report the preceding December which discusses the feasibility of each project. Since none of the 2006 projects contemplate special assessments (except Frost Point Circle if the Council ultimately elects to proceed with this project), the staff is preparing this report for your consideration pursuant to your December 5 direction. Current Circumstances There are significant projects contemplated for initiation in 2006. Below is a summary of each, the proposed funding source and the next project step for which the staff is requesting authorization: Lift Station Renovation The city has in excess of 35 lift stations. Numerous of these stations are in poor repair. Over the past few years, we have standardized lift station components and refurbished about a dozen stations. In 2006, two lift stations are scheduled for repair. In January, we will ask the City Council for authority to design and prepare plans and specifications for bidding. The $180,000 cost of this program is derived from the trunk fund. New Well The domestic water chapter of the City's comprehensive plan identifies the need to add one new well per year for nine years to meet current and future water needs. Two wells are being developed in 2005 and another is planned for 2006. As part of the 2006 process, we must model well impacts upon the Savage Fen over the next decade. This modeling is the next step in the project process. The $735,000 for the new well is from the utility fund. www.cityofpriorlake.com I\COUNCiI\ACNRPTS\2005\ 121 DO:'\PRggJ:~52.9t47~4Zjb / Fax 952.447.4245 Water Treatment/StoraQe Facility As the City has grown, we have received increasing feedback about brown water concerns. The 2006 Capitallmproyement Plan and the domestic water chapter of our comprehensive plan call for the plant. The City has a site in Brooksville Hills. The next step in this project is the preparation of a report to the Council outlining the proposed process and timeline for the water treatment plant. Included in this report will be a recommendation for the city Councilmember participation on the Building Committee and the method for determining whether a construction manager or owner's representative should be used. The anticipated project cost is $13 million which would be financed through water revenue bonds paid by water rates which have already been adjusted with this project in mind. County Road 82 Scott County is contemplating making County Road 82 a four-lane divided highway from CR 21 to CR 17 in 2006. This project is identified as a need in both the City and County comprehensive plans to adequately address traffic levels. The total project is estimated to be $17 million. Prior Lake's portion is $3.34 million. We hope the SMSC will be contributing $1.75 million to the effort as well. In the first quarter of 2006 we expect to have a cost-sharing agreement for Council consideration. This project is paid through various sources, including property tax levy, enterprise funds and trunk funds. Outlet Channel The Prior Lake - Spring Lake Watershed is contemplating the first phase of the channel improvement project (through Jeffers Pond) in 2006. This project will increase the capacity of the outlet channel from Prior Lake and "harden" the channel to protect it from erosion. The 2006 phase is estimated by the watershed at $600,000. The City's share is $50,000. These funds are derived from the trunk fund. The watershed may recommend an additional two segments in 2006 depending upon their agreements. The Capital Improvement Program contains a total of $300,000 for all phases of the project. Fire Station Years ago, the City conducted a fire station location study. The study concluded that at least two stations were going to be necessary due to the configuration of our community and development patterns we have observed. The study indicated that the location of the station should be at approximately Carriage Hill Road and CR 21. Accordingly, we worked with the developer of Jeffers Pond to receive a site. The developer agreed to donate a site sufficient to house an 8,000 square foot fire station in the commercial portion of this Planned Unit Development. Since the commercial portion of the site has not yet been platted, the first step is to plat a lot within the commercial area for this purpose. Staff has discussed this with Wensmann representatives and they are amenable to proceeding in this fashion. The next step in this project is to proceed to plat the lot needed for the fire station and to identify the timeline and process for proceeding. The Capitallmproyement Program identifies the funding source for the $1.5 million project as General Obligation Capital Improvement Bonds. 2 ISSUES: FINANCIAL IMPACT: ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDED MOTION: Conclusion The Council should determine the extent to which it wishes to proceed with these projects and confirm funding sources by adoption of the attached resolution. The purpose of this agenda item is to receive direction about whether the Council desires to take the next step on each of these projects. There are no financial impacts of adopting the resolution as it does not commit the Council to the projects. 1. Adopt the attached resolution direction the staff to initiate the next step with respect to each project. 2. Take no action. Alternative #1. 21D05 16200 Eagle Creek Avenue S.E.
