CONSIDER APPROVAL OF 1994-1998 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM AND SUPPORTIVE REVENUE FEE INCREASES
SEPTEMBER 20, 1993
The City Council has now conducted a workshop on the proposed
1994-1998 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and a public information
meeting. The minutes of the public information meeting are attached as
part of this agenda packet plus a priority listing of county road projects
and a cost summary for those projects tentatively scheduled for 1994.
The information meeting did not generate a significant number of
comments with respect to the proposed CIP.
The Council inquired about the property tax impact which the Capital
Improvement Program may have. The impact varies from year to year. A
cumulative property tax cost total of approximately $600.00, would be
generated during the course of the five year CIP plan, assuming all
projects become reality.
In 1994 there are six proposed City projects and two County projects that
are scheduled which require tax levy support. For a complete listing of the
proposed 1994 projects see attached "Project Cost Summary 1994". The
aggregate amount of these levies total $1,615,000.00 which would result
in an annual property tax levy of $212,000.00 for a bond period of 10
years. This would would represent a property tax increase of nearly 7%
($39.37) upon the average $110,000 Prior Lake home in 1995.
The 1994 project description, project cost, the associated City project levy
and property tax impact is identified as follows:
Project Description Project Cost Project Levy Tax Impact
Memorial Restrooms $50,000 $50,000 $1.22
Sand Point Entrance $75,000 $75,000 $1.83
Seal Coating $150,000 $150,000 $3.66
Ridgemont $300,000 $150,000 $3.66
CSAH 18 Upgrade $500,000 $100,000 $2.44
Prior South Overlay $500,000 $200,000 $4.88
Northwood Road $720,000 $160,000 $3.90
CSAH 44 Upgrade $1,680,000 $730,000 $17.78
TOTALS $3,975,000 $1,615,000 $39.37
The City Council should critically review the proposed 1994 projects
included in the CIP. Those programs which are not deemed to be of high
priority should be eliminated now so that they do not generate public

concern or staff effort and expense just to be dropped following the public
hearing. Eliminating or delaying projects which the Council deems to be a
lower priority will reduce the property tax burden on the public.
After reviewing the proposed projects, the Council should consider the
following fee increases which are considered necessary to provide an
adequate revenue stream:
Current Proposed AMM Survey
Revenue Fee Charge Charge Average
1. Collector Street Fee
Bldg. Permit Fee $250.00 $350.00 n/a
Acreage Charge $700.00 $1200.00 n/a
2. SAC & WAC Charge
Bldg. Permit Fee $700.00 $900.00 $1380.00
Acreage Charge $2750.00 $3000.00 $3500.00
3. Water Tower Charge
Bldg. Permit Fee $500.00 $600.00 n/a
4. Park SupportfTrail Fee
Bldg. Permit Fee $350.00 $650.00 $815.00
The AMM figure is derived upon various composite averages, utilizing
representative growth communities of Chanhassen, Eagan, Eden Prairie,
Lakeville, Plymouth and Savage. Shakopee was also used in the SAC &
WAC survey results.
The initial collector street fee inception (10/12/92) was approved by the
Council with the understanding that it was not sufficient to provide
adequate funding for the total cost of the collector street system, and that
graduated increases would be necessary. Originally it was projected that
a $1950 acreage charge would be required. This proposed increase to
$1200 per acre plus the $100 incremental increase on the building permit
will make up some of that distance.
The Council's final action on this agenda item should determine final
priority for the proposed County projects in order that the staff can "lobby"
for their support on an hierarchical order. This request was made by the
County because of their concern that municipalities may sometimes
"change their priorities" during the course of the year. This will help the
County in finalizing their Capital Improvement plans as well.
ISSUES:
The revenue sources above are the basis for a significant portion of City
expenditures associated with collector road construction, trunk system
improvements and park trailways within the community. Such cost are a
direct spinoff of growth and as a result, funding should be heavily
dependent on the development activity responsible for these capital
outlays.
All fee increases subject to collection at time of building permit application
should be deferred until January 1, 1994. The reason is that Building
Official Gary Staber notifies all of our area builders of the various fee
amounts including MWCC charges prior to the beginning of the new year.

Also, it has not been usual and customary practice for the Council to
adopt midyear adjustments
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are available:
1. Following discussion of the CIP authorize its approval, direct
the revision of revenue policies and establish a priority with
respect to County policies.
2. Defer consideration of any or all of these matters for specific
reasons.
RECOMMENDATION: Alternative #1
ACTION REQUIRED: Adopt three distinct motions:
a. Approve the proposed 1994-1998 Capital Improvement
Program as is or as amended.
b. Approve the fee increases as outlined and direct Staff to
incorporate these new amounts in ordinance form
where appropriate and make the necessary revisions
within the City's assessment projects
c. Establish priorities for County Road Improvement
Projects.
