Council Meeting: Prepared By: March 12, 2015 Brad Martens Topic: Action Required: Downtown Utility and Street Improvement Discussion Project Update Summary: One of the City's goals for 2014 was to develop a draft plan to complete the TIF project. The TIF project refers to a downtown utility and street improvement project to reconstruct the road and install water and sanitary sewer infrastructure in downtown Corcoran. An engineering report was reviewed at the August 14, 2014 City Council meeting that included information on the proposed project. Ultimately the City Council approved a motion to order the feasibility study to begin the project. The plan was presented to the City Council at the December 11, 2014 meeting. The Council directed staff to hold an informational meeting with affected property owners which was held on January 29, 2015. Staff provided an update at the February 12, 2015 meeting and outlined the next steps. It was requested that staff bring back a financial overview at the March 12, 2015 meeting to get the new Councilmembers up to speed on the project. The preferred option is to install new sanitary sewer and water infrastructure below a reconstructed street. The improvements needed include a trunk system which serves the area and adjacent area, and a lateral system which only serves the individual properties. The larger trunk system is paid by fees required at time of use, the lateral costs need to be funded by other sources. The project costs for the lateral system are estimated below: Water /Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure $1,900,123 Street Reconstruction $1,219,107 Total $3,119,230 The other sources identified to fund the project include the following: • TIF funds o The funds budgeted for the project are $1,100,000. The actual number could be as high as $1,400,000 however we will not have a firm number until the audit is completed. The amount of $1,100,000 will be used for the purposes of this report. Assessments to benefiting properties o The City has received a letter with an opinion on the likely benefit to property owners receiving service. • New street as well as water and sanitary sewer services: $20,000- $30,000 (31 properties) • New water and sanitary sewer services only: $10,000 - $15,000 (11 properties) For the purposes of this report the high end of the opinion will be used. Page 2 The proposed project revenues for the lateral system are estimated below: TIF Funds $1,100,000 Assessment Revenue $1,095,000 Total $2,195,000 Using these numbers the project has a financial gap of $924,230* Project Cost $3,119,230 Project Revenue $2,195,000 Gap $ - 924,230 *This gap assumes a TIF Fund value of $1,100,000; the value could be has high as $1,400,000 In order for the project to move forward the financial gap must be eliminated. A few options to achieve this are below: • Reduce the scope of the project: • Staff has briefly discussed options for reducing the scope of the project but has not put much time into the discussion as it would incur additional costs. Anecdotally, staff does not feel there is a great deal of ability to lower the project costs but could complete the exercise if directed. • A less expensive option was identified and presented to the Council at the December 11, 2014 meeting to place utilities in the ditches instead of under the street. Unfortunately, using the same financial assumptions as above the gap would be $1,187,411; the project costs are lower however the benefit is also lower due to a new street not being constructed which lowers assessments. • Assess benefiting properties at a higher rate: • In order to assess benefitting properties at a higher rate the City would need the properties to sign a waiver of their right to appeal the assessment. This is due to the assessment being higher than the benefit. Staff is aware of several properties that would be willing to do this but does not have a full picture of the likelihood of success. • Funding the full gap solely by increasing the assessment would require an additional assessment of $22,005 per property. • Subsidize the project with general tax dollars • The City could issue debt to pay for the project gap. A 20 year bond would require an annual payment of $65,000 a year. • Staff looked into the possibility of additional taxable market value paying for the bonds and found the following information: • If on day one following the completion of the project, the taxable market value increased the amount of the benefit, the additional annual taxes paid by the 42 properties would be $10,000 a year. • In order to cover a $65,000 bond payment by an increase in taxable market value, the total value of the 42 properties would need to increase by $7,000,000. If you divide that amount equally between the 42 properties, each property would need to increase its taxable market value by $166,000. • Increase the size of the project to involve more properties o The scope of the project could be increased to include more properties such as south to Larkin Road and other areas. This would add more costs but also add more properties to assess. Page 3 • Combination o A combination of any of the above is also a possibility. As part of this putting this report together, staff was asked to bring forward a list of other potential projects should this project not be feasible. The following is a possible list that would need further review to find how feasible each one is. • Utility preparation for northeast Corcoran • Project Scope: ■ Design and purchase utility easement from new interceptor towards the CR 30 /CR 116 intersection to spur investment in areas zoned commercial, mixed use, business park, and light industrial. • Project timeline • Complete design work and begin negotiations in 2015 • Purchase easement by July 2016 • Interceptor to be completed by summer 2016 • Utility preparation for southwest Corcoran • Project Scope ■ Design and purchase utility easement to prepare for Met Council service extension up CR 19 to Loretto to spur investment in areas zoned commercial and light industrial. • Project timeline • Complete design work and begin negotiations in 2015 • Purchase easement by July 2016 • Met Council anticipates availability to Loretto in 2020 • Industrial Park • Project Scope • Acquire acreage for a new industrial park near the downtown area • Requires re- zoning and re- guiding land • Funds do not exist to install infrastructure (street /utilities) • Project timeline • Search for possible land available for purchase and seek purchase agreement by end of 2015 • Re- zone /re -guide in 2016 and complete purchase • Shop around for buyers with revenue used to subsidize infrastructure improvements • Prepare City Owned Parcel for Development • Project Scope ■ The City owns approximately 20 developable acres south of City Hall. This project would plan and improve the area with utilities and infrastructure to prepare for future development (senior living). • Project Timeline • Design and approvals by early 2016 • Construction of infrastructure by end of 2016 Page 4 • Fiber extension to areas in Corcoran to promote development o Currently fiber is fairly close to where future development would likely occur. This fiber could be extended to those areas. • Turn Back Funds Through County — City receives $350,00 (estimate) with no strings o Project Scope ■ Contribute Toward Reserve Gap • Requires contribution of $450,000 to reach 35% unrestricted fund balance o Commit $350,000 ■ Establish fund to cover payouts (unfunded liability) • $100,000 Should the TIF funds be re- directed away from the downtown project, the likelihood of future success of this project is extremely unlikely. The last communication with the affected parties was at the January 29, 2015 meeting. Staff recommends moving forward with surveying the properties about their support of a higher assessment as planned. Staff would then bring this information back in April so the Council could discuss next steps for the project. Financial /Budget: Costs related to this project are currently being paid by the TIF Fund. Alignment with Values: This item relates to the following adopted values: EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver quality services in a highly professional, cost - effective, and friendly manner. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds is essential for citizen confidence in government. Options: 1. Continue moving forward with the plan to survey affected parties. 2. Change course. Recommendation: Continue moving forward with the plan to survey affected parties. Council Action: Discuss the staff report. Attachments: N/A STAFF REPORT Agenda Item 10a. Council Meeting: Prepared By: March 12, 2015 Brad Martens Topic: Action Required: 2015 Water and Sanitary Sewer Fee Approval Schedule Amendment Summary: On January 8, 2015 the City of Corcoran approved a fee schedule for the water and sanitary sewer utility. The fee schedule included several pass through fees which the City must reimburse the City of Maple Grove per the approved agreement. At a Maple Grove City Council meeting in late January, the City of Maple Grove approved an updated fee schedule for their utility system. The City of Corcoran must amend its fee schedule to reflect the changes made by the City of Maple Grove. Staff did attempt to anticipate these changes by having several conversations in advance of approving the Corcoran fee schedule. Staff will refine this process to avoid similar amendments in the future. Financial /Budget: Fees are necessary to cover the costs of the water and sanitary sewer funds. These funds are enterprise in nature and not tied to the general fund. Alignment with Values: This item relates to the following adopted values: EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver quality services in a highly professional, cost - effective, and friendly manner. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds is essential for citizen confidence in government. Options: 1.

Council Meeting: Prepared By: March 12, 2015 Matt Gottschalk, Director of Public Safety Topic: Action Required: Police Lieutenant Appointment Approval of Lieutenant Appointment Summary: Since I joined the City team in December of 2014 Administrator Martens and I have had numerous discussions regarding the future structure and operations of the Police Department. The primary focus of the discussions was to determine how we can operate in the most cost effective way possible while still meeting service needs and maintaining a structure that facilitates potential growth without the need for reorganization. On 02/20/15 Police Lieutenant John Hamilton submitted his notice of resignation and retirement to staff. During the City Council meeting on 02/26/15 his notice was accepted. Administrator Martens and I evaluated what this means to the department operationally and how it aligns with budgetary constraints, staffing concerns, and efficient operations. We found that many of the tasks handled by the Lieutenant position necessitated an exempt employee not served by the existing bargaining unit (which is also how the position is currently structured). Some of these duties include: scheduling, internal investigations, personnel management, and budgeting responsibilities. In evaluating the position as it exists with Lieutenant Hamilton we found that certain duties, including Information Technologies (IT), would not be managed by a future Police Department Lieutenant and yet other duties could transition to the Director of Public Safety. With this information we rewrote the job description for the Police Lieutenant in a manner that served the department operationally and was in alignment with the City of Corcoran Values Statement. Administrator Martens had the new job description graded by George Gmach and found that the appropriate pay grade for the amended position was Grade 15 as opposed to the current Grade 17 rating. The position remains crucial to maintaining a functional department and is primarily accountable for daily operations. In addition to the above mentioned duties the Lieutenant is responsible for assuming command of the department in absence of the Chief, providing leadership to subordinates, evaluating part -time employees, facilitating employee development, coordinating department technology, providing emergency shift coverage, developing and enforcing department policies, assigning tasks, monitoring work flow, and conflict resolution. Extensive discussion was had about the best way to fill the position. We identified that the only internal candidate that qualified for the position was Corporal Ryan Burns. We compared Corporal Burns' qualifications and performance record to what we anticipated Staff Report—March 12, 2015 Council Meeting Page 2 Prepared by Director Gottschalk from the candidate pool. After breaking down the position and requirements we came to the determination that Corporal Burns was an excellent candidate for the position. In addition to meeting the qualifications and a proven record of success, we believe that his experience with the city and intimate knowledge of departmental operations could not be rivaled by an external candidate. Based on these circumstances, City Administrator Martens and I are recommending that the City of Corcoran appoint Corporal Burns to the Police Lieutenant position. If Corporal Burns is appointed to the Lieutenant position we do not intend to immediately fill the Corporal position. Some of Corporal Burns' duties would follow into the restructured Lieutenant position and the remaining would be distributed among the patrol officers. In order to fill the patrol schedule gap left by the vacated Corporal position we intend to recommend hiring one patrol officer, see agenda item 11 b. for details. Financial /Budget: The appointment as described would result in adjusting the pay grade for the Lieutenant position and replacing the vacant Corporal position with a patrol officer; both future net cost savings to the city. Adjusting the Lieutenant from pay grade 17 to 15 results in approximately $7,000 in savings annually. By not filling the Corporal position the city saves approximately $4,000 annually. IT responsibilities estimated at approximately $5,000 annually would need to be absorbed elsewhere in the city resulting in a future estimated annual net savings of $6,000. Transitional costs including training time between the outgoing Lieutenant and newly appointed Lieutenant, covering vacated shifts, new officer training (item 11 b.), and the reassignment of IT duties would negate the cost savings for the current budget year (2015). These assumptions include the hiring of one Police Officer to maintain existing staff levels. The retirement of Lieutenant Hamilton as received on 02/26/15 results in an unfunded liability of approximately $30,305 in severance benefits regardless of any council action. Alignment with Values: This item relates to the following adopted values: EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver quality services in a highly professional, cost - effective, and friendly manner. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds is essential for citizen confidence in government. PROFESSIONALISM We believe that continuous improvement is the mark of professionalism and are committed to applying this principle to the services we offer and the development of our employees.
