VE REPORTS JZP This item is back on the agenda for discussion and consider ion for approval. It consists of two separate items. 1) Approval of a loan application to the Metropolitan Council for a Planning Assistance Loan(s) for the completion of the Comprehensive Guide Plan and to provide funding for city staff and consultants to complete certain tasks regarding planning on the Airport Planning Process. 2) Consideration of the addition of a planner for city staff who would provide additional support in all aspects of our planning program and more importantly on the completion of the Comprehensive Guide Plan, the Airport Planning Process and major projects we are processing through development and/or permitting. The 1992 starting base salary for the planner position would be $27,491. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve A RESOLUTION REQUESTING LOCAL PLANNING ASSISTANCE LOANS From the Metropolitan Council and to authorize staff to begin the process of hiring a planner. COUNCIL ACTION: �iiy of Rosemount PHONE (612) 423-4411 2875 - 145th Street West, Rosemount, Minnesota MAYOR FAX (612) 423-5203 Mailing Address: Vernon Napper P. O. Box 510, Rosemount, Minnesota 55068-0510 COUNCILMEMBERS Sheila Klassen John Oxborough Harry Willcox Dennis Wippermann ADMINISTRATOR TO: Mayor Napper Stephan Jilk Council Members Klassen, Oxborough, ill x Wippermann FROM: Stephan Jilk, City Administrator DATE: November 15, 1991 RE: Metropolitan Council Planning Assistance Loan Planning Hiring On November 5, you were presented with information regarding work that is needed to be completed on the Comprehensive Guide Plan and further work which should be completed on the Airport Planning Process. These work tasks would be divided between city staff and consultants. To carry out these work tasks, carry on everyday planning assignments and deal with special projects such as the Koch Refining Expansion and Dakota County Waste to Energy project is impossible with present staff. For reasons stated in my memo of November 4, I am recommending that we proceed to amend the contract with Hoisington Group Inc. to complete the Comprehensive Guide Plan, consider the hiring of a staff planner and the application for planning assistance loan from the Metropolitan Council. Since November 5th Lisa Freese has had continued discussion with Metropolitan Council staff and has reviewed the potential work which can be completed with the assistance of a new staff planner in the work program presented to you on November 5th. Lisa is recommending (see attached memo) that the assistance loan be separated into one for the completion of the Guide Plan and one for work on the Airport Planning Process. The loan(s), if approved, would provide part of the funding for the hiring of a planner, payment of consultant fees and the miscellaneous expenses outlined in the memo of November 4th. This loan would of course have to be repaid, at no interest cost, within a three year period. The other source of funding would have to come from city funds. In the memo of November 4th we had suggested that $25,887 could be made available from several sources. We had suggested that in 1992 we would still need an additional $3,280 from the 1992 operating budget to fund this process. 6verylkinq s (Pouring `Ul b Rosemounlll C' IOOYl�[CY[IPO p[VN In continuing effort to provide sufficient funds to this effort without jeopardizing other operations we determined other funds could be drawn from excess building permit income. In September when Ron Wasmund received your approval to hire an additional contract inspector to conduct inspections on the large Koch project we projected that even after expending money for this contract inspector we could have an excess of $25,000 from that project. It is my recommendation that those funds also be utilized. In addition we expect, and have budgeted for, that $5,000 will be paid, at a minimum, by Dakota County for city staff time on planning issues for their project This would provide a total of $55,887 for revenue to support the hiring of the planner and pay back the loan from the Metropolitan Council to complete the remaining tasks done by consultants. The funding available and expense would appear as follows if we proceed with the completion of all work tasks assigned by Lisa in her memo and the hiring of a planner: Expenditures Year 1 Planner $32,000 (1992) Consult. 33,800 & Misc. Totals $65,800 Year 2 Planner $32,000 (1993) Loan Pay 17,000 Totals $49,000 Year 3 Planner $32,000 (1994) Loan Pay 17,000 Totals $49,000 Year 4 Planner $32,000 (1995) Loan Pay 17,000 Totals $49,000 Additional Budget + Revenue Needs (available) Loan $52,500 (other available revenue $55,887) $108,387 (42,587) Carry Over 42,587 $ 42,587 + 6,413 + 49,000 + 49,000 The continuation of use of a full time staff planner in years 3 and 4 would have to be evaluated at that time Additional projects such as RECOMP and additional Koch projects could provide needed funding also. Funding as we've outlined it for this planning need will insure support for the completion of the Guide Plan and ongoing support for other projects as we have outlined. Without this support we will be unable to meet these needs. I request your consideration of these items and ask your approval of them. - 2 - �iiy of Rosemount PHONE (612) 423-4411 2875 - 145th Street West, Rosemount, Minnesota MAYOR FAX (612) 423-5203 Mailing Address: Vernon Napper P.

Freese, Director of Planning DATE: November 15, 1991 SUBJ: Planning Assistance Loan Application Since presenting the original loan application to the City Council on November 5, 1991, the Metropolitan Council staff has suggested that the City make a separate application for the Comprehensive Guide Plan and the Airport Planning Process. In part, this suggestion was made because the Metropolitan Council tabled action on Dakota County's and Empire Township's loan requests. Both of these loan requests were explicitly tied to the airport issue. The Metropolitan Council tabled action on these requests until the Dakota County Search Area is officially designated as the final search area and until Metropolitan Council staff, the Metropolitan Airports Commission and the local communities affected either by airport expansion or relocation meet to discuss the decision making process and financial resources needed by those groups to support the process. The general consensus of the Metropolitan Council was that such resources should be provided, but the need and financing options should be looked at more comprehensively prior to making commitments to use the Planning Assistance Loan Fund for this purpose. Based on the Metropolitan Council's action on these other loan requests and my discussions with Council staff, I would recommend that the City apply for the loan as two separate applications. I am fairly confident that the Comprehensive Guide Plan loan would be approved, but the airport loan could be tabled; and, I fear that if we make it a joint application the entire loan could get tabled until the airport decision making/funding issues are resolved. If only the loan for the Comprehensive Guide Plan were approved, the City would still be able to hire the staff planner. With the addition of a planner, the City would be able to take a more active role in the airport process, as well. While the Planning Department could not meet the level of participation anticipated if both loans were approved, considerable efforts could be made in the airport process. With a full time planner, the City would be in a favorable position to handle regulatory requirements of the airport designation and to fairly actively monitor and participate in the airport process. 6verylkings Coming 21,6 CJ\osemounl.11 Metropolitan Council Planning Assistance Loan November 15, 1991 Page Two Without the addition of a planner, the department participation in the airport planning process would be extremely limited and would have considerable impact on the timely completion of other departmental tasks. As well, the Comprehensive Guide Plan cost will increase because we will need to look to consultants to complete some of the items that I anticipated would be completed by Planning staff. The cost of the Comprehensive Guide Plan could increase by another $25,000. So, from this perspective, I see authorizing the planner position as a prudent fiscal decision. At the meeting on Tuesday, I would be most happy to elaborate on the work program and funding needs. Thank you for your consideration.
