Infrastructure Discussion EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Work Session Meeting: March 5, 2019 AGENDA ITEM: Infrastructure Discussion AGENDA SECTION: Discussion PREPARED BY: Brian Erickson, City Engineer / PW Dir. Kim Lindquist, Community Dev. Dir. AGENDA NO. 2.b. ATTACHMENTS: Infrastructure Spreadsheet, Infrastructure Maps, Available Residential Map APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion Item SUMMARY Staff wanted to take the opportunity to discuss future infrastructure needs within the city. There are a variety of different issues arising due to the amount of development occurring in the western portion of the City, what may occur in the central portion of the community (UMore) and the need to plan for future growth in the east. Some of the questions relate to financing of the needed infrastructure, some of the questions relate to timing for installation, and others relate to properties outside of the service area which impact the ability of the City to provide desired infrastructure. Staff would like to review each of the projects so the Council is aware of anticipated projects and rough timeframes. Previously mentioned at a Council work session, as residential development ramps up, there is less utility-served land available for growth. The ability to facilitate development in the eastern portion of the City, the next identified area for new residential development, will require significant investment as utilities are not available for anticipated future demand. Local utilities are typically financed as part of development. In other words, local roads are paid by the developer when neighborhood are constructed. Utilities are extended into individual neighborhoods and are also paid for by the developer. Any regional infrastructure, infrastructure that benefits properties beyond the “neighborhood” is paid for by the City through the Water, Sewer, or Stormwater Core funds (i.e. savings). Core funds are received from development by applying a specific rate on a per acre basis. Aside from regional trunk facilities, core funds are used for regional infrastructure such as water towers, wells, lift stations, and regional stormwater ponds. Unfortunately, there is not a “core fund” for road construction and therefore road construction cost for larger regional, yet locally owned, roads are paid for by the City through various means. Rosemount uses Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds, assessments, the Street CIP fund, and at times grants for potential financing sources when roads not wholly paid for by a developer. Much of the funding found in the street CIP is used for the local pavement management projects and therefore other roadway construction or cost sharing with the County or State may be assessed to benefiting property owners. 2 The following lists the current core fund balances. These fluctuate depending upon the amount of development as well as the timing of large expenditures. More recently, the city has used cash to pay for some infrastructure projects, such as well regional utilities within Akron Avenue. However, this is the type of expenditure that could also qualify for bonding. Depending upon the timing of future infrastructure projects, bonding may be necessary or projects could be delayed since cash reserves would not cover all anticipated costs. As mentioned previously, the core funds are replenished through payment of area charges which are paid during the development process. Water Core Fund $1,538,124 Sewer Core Fund $4,882,210 Storm Core Fund $3,401,876 CONCLUSION Staff would like to introduce to the Council upcoming infrastructure needs to assist the City to continue growing at a deliberate, reasonable rate. As part of the conversation there are different issues associated with several of the projects staff would like to discuss with the Council for direction. Upcoming Major Roadway and Utility Infrastructure Projects Road Projects Project Date Cost Estimate Funding Source Notes/Issues 1 Akron Avenue plus utilities 2019 $1.7M Road = Street CIP Utilities = Core Funds City Cost Share of estimated $6.6M total project 2 Biscayne Avenue Extension Pavement to Hwy 46, plus utilities 2020 $4.2M U of MN pays 1/2 Assess other 1/2 Agreement with University of pay 1/2 of street costs. Is University aware that half is larger than the old estimate? The other side would be assessed per ee Schedule: $110/ft 3 Connemara Trail Extension-1/4 mile 2020 $1.2 M Assessments or other agreement for Economic Development Deferred assessment for Commercial development at Akron?
