LORI JOHNSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR
PHIL HALS, STREET/PARK SUPT.
TERRY MAURER, CITY ENGINEER
FROM: PATRICK D. KLAERS, CITY
ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: JANUARY 12, 1993
SUBJECT: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
WORKSESSION
A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) worksession is scheduled
for 6:00 p.m. on Monday, January 18, 1993, at the Elk River
City Hall Conference Room. The City Council and staff should
feel free to come dressed casually for this meeting and pizzas
will be provided for dinner. If individuals do not favor
pizza, and would prefer something on the order of a subway,
please notify me and such provisions can be arranged.
BACKGROUND
In 1990, the City Council had four meetings to develop the
draft Capital Improvement Program (see attachment with some PDK
notes). The plan has been kept in a draft form in order to
retain as much flexibility as possible. The 1990 CIP has
always been viewed as a guideline for capital improvements and
not something that was "cast in concrete" or inflexible. In
1991, the City Council met twice (January and February) to
update the 1990 CIP and to establish a "game plan" for 1991
improvement projects. For the 1992 CIP, the Council met once
in October, 1991 (budget meeting) and once in January to update
the CIP and to plan out the work projects for 1992. In effect,
the City Council minutes from 1991 and 1992 have functioned as
the updated informal CIP. This type of documentation has been
sufficient to provide guidelines on City Council priorities for
work projects. However, as it has been three years since the
draft CIP document has been put together, it is anticipated
that after discussions in 1993 the document will again be
redrafted and provided to the City Council for its
consideration.
ELK RIVER CIP OUTLINE
The CIP is generally a one year and five year work plan for
projects that need to be undertaken. Typically, there are a
lot of projects listed in the first few years of the five year
CIP and fewer projects listed in the later years. This is
because projects usually take more than one year to accomplish
and, in this manner, projects tend to "slide" into future years.

CIP Memo
January 12, 1993
Page 2
~ Also, when the CIP is developed, a number of projects are
listed as "pending". This classification is used when the
timing and financing for these projects are uncertain.
However, it is acknowledged that most of the projects on the
pending list are high to medium priorities for the City Council
and could happen at any time if the appropriate finances are
arranged and if the City Council determines that it is
necessary to move forward with the project. In general, the
"pending" list identifies future needs that should be evaluated
annually.
ELK RIVER STATUS
In Elk River there will always be more needs and desires for
projects than funds available to finance the projects. The
Council should note that 1990-1992 were very busy years. Funds
that were saved up by the City in the late 1980's were spent on
projects in 1990-92. It is a fact that there are not too many
funds available in 1993 for projects. This is especially true
as it relates to street projects. In 1993-94, the City may
again be in a mostly savings mode for high priority 1995-96-97
projects.
THE 1/18/93 MEETING
~
An important assignment for the staff for this January meeting
will be to provide an update on the status of ongoing projects
and also to provide information on projects that have been
previously discussed but not authorized. The main issues for
the City Council will be to add projects to the work schedule,
delete or change projects that remain from the 1990 CIP, and to
prioritize the work projects into a realistic timeframe. Many
new work projects have surfaced in the last eighteen months
that need to be incorporated into the CIP. This is appropriate
as there have also been many projects from the original 1990
CIP that have been completed.
The attached agenda is really a two meeting agenda (at least).
For this January meeting, I anticipate that agenda items 4.1.,
4.2., 4.3., and 4.4., will be about all that can be
accomplished. An elaboration of these agenda items looks
something like this:
- Review recent projects
- Review projects that are authorized or in the process of
being completed
Review annual projects that have been completed in 1992
and the financing of these annual projects
~
- Review the list of possible future projects that are known
from past discussions and begin assimilating the projects
into a year by year work plan based on priorities
.

CIP Memo
January 12, 1993
Page 3
- Add new projects to the schedule for CIP years one through
five (1993-97)
- Review the list of "pending" projects and change and add
to this list
Establish an overview of Council priorities for projects
As outlined by the agenda, all of the above work for the first
meeting is planned to be completed without an extensive
discussion on available finances. Also, limited information on
the expenses for each project will be available for this
meeting. These two pieces of the puzzle are anticipated to be
put in place at the second meeting which will the lead to a
reevaluation of the CIP that is "penciled-in" during the first
meeting.
(An exception to this schedule may be to discuss the TIF 1/3
projected balance in 1997 and the need for a water tower. TIF
1/3 financed the 1984-85 water tower project.)
FOLLOW UP MEETING(S)
At the second meeting in February, it is anticipated that the
Council will review all the available finances for the CIP.
For each reserve fund that the City has available, it is
anticipated that we will review the estimated 1/93 balance, add
any expenditures that are scheduled to take place in 1993, and
include any known revenues that will be received in 1993.
Following this step we will then formulate a 1/94 balance and
add any anticipated revenues for the next few years. This will
provide us with a foundation of what is available to finance
capital improvements. We will also list the eligible or
possible uses for each fund. This exercise will allow for a
project to show up in a few different funding categories and
allow the City to develop a "cafeteria plan" for financing
improvements.
Once all of the available finances have been identified at the
second meeting, then we will go back to the CIP priority list
identified at the end of the first meeting, elaborate on this
list as appropriate, and establish/reestablish dollar
estimates/ranges for the projects. The CIP will then be more
formally developed as the Council attempts to match the
projects to the available dollars. The goal is to end up with a
one year (1993-94) CIP, a five year CIP (1993-98), and a list
of "pending" projects which will be annually evaluated.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT WORK PROGRAM
Based on a review of the projects by the City Council and
available finances for each project, plus a discussion on
priority and timing of each project, the City Council has
developed a Capital Improvement Work Program. The following
pages are a year by year summary of activities for the City to
undertake in order to accomplish the previously defined goals
and objectives (review of the projects). The work plan for
each given year is subject to significant change. The work
program for year 1991 obviously depends on how much of the work
plan projected for 1990 is accomplished. Projects tend to
slide from one year to another and many projects take more than
one year to complete. Additionally, unforeseen expenditures
are ~ometimes required that are not known when the plan is put
together. Annual review of the work program should help keep
the plan up to date, accurate and a working document that can
be implemented.
There is an individual work plan provided for each of the next
few years and then a number of projects are grouped in the five
to ten year category. These five to ten year category projects
can be placed into a work plan for any year based on City
council priorities and available funding during the annual
review of the ClP. Very few projects are planned for 1993 or
1994 based on experience which tells us that the 1990, 1991 and
1992 work plans are ambitious, and as such, some of the
projects will "slide" into 1993 or 1994.

173rd Railroad Crossinq
Staff was instructed to work with MnDOT regarding the
installation of this railroad crossing along with two other
railroad crossings. It is anticipated that 173rd railroad
crossing would have to be financed by the City while the other
two railroad crossings would be financed by other governmental
agencies. The anticipated cost of this project is
approximately $125,000 and would come from the City MSA Fund.
Actual construction of the project would not be a City
responsibility. Planning is required now in order for the
project to take place no later than 1991.
dDYI~
Sidewalk Replacement
Staff was instructed to continue the effort started in 1989
regarding the improvement or removal of old sidewalks in the
core village area. The development and approval of a sidewalk
plan is required by the City Council. The City's participation
in the sidewalk replacement project would come from the Capital
Projects Fund in an amount not to exceed $30,000.

Westwood Addition
This project calls for street, water, storm sewer and sanitary
sewer improvements. The majority of the project would be
assessed to benefitted property owners. Staff was instructed
to update the 1985 feasibility study on this project in later
1990 and plan for the project to take place in 1991.
"Dam" Bridqe
Staff was instructed to continue current efforts to receive
Federal financing for this project. Preliminary work has been
completed by the City Engineer. Once financing is approved,
plans and specifications can be developed. Construction is
anticipated in approximately 1992. The majority of the
financing for this project would be non-City monies.
193rd Siqnal
The City Engineer is to work with MnDOT to ensure that this
project takes place in either 1991 or 1992. MnDOT has
indicated its willingness to the City to install this signal.
The City's share for this project is approximately $30,000 and
would come from the MSA fund.
Railroad Drive and 3rd Avenue
Staff was instructed to do preliminary work on this project in
anticipation of the improvement project taking place in 1992.
This project will take place in a commercial district on the \ '~.
north side of the railroad tracks. As no benefitted property
owners lie between the street and railroad tracks, a
significant amount of City MSA funding is necessary.
Additional beautification projects would need to be planned
into this project. Extensive engineering work is anticipated
in 1991.
Dodqe Avenue and 5th Street
Staff was instructed to review this project in a preliminary /
fashion. Some engineering field work may be conducted in
1990. The City will wait until it receives a valid petition
from the affected property owners along Dodge Avenue prior to
proceeding with this project. The City's maximum share for
Dodge Avenue is anticipated to be $100,000 and the City will
examine use of MSA Funds. The scope of the 5th Street project
is uncertain at this time and could be a relatively minor
project or an extensive road and utility improvement project.
Limited funds have been set aside for the 5th Street part of
this improvement project.

School Street/County Road #1 Intersection
Staff was instructed to proceed with this project in 1990.
This project will take a coordinated effort between the City,
School District, Municipal Utilities Department and County.
Traffic counts have been taken and a feasibility report
resolution has been approved by the City Council. The City
expense for this project is anticipated to be less than
$25,000. This project would be financed through the Street
Reserve Fund financed by the Landfill monies. Due to the
extensive coordination between governmental agencies for this
project, it must be acknowledged that this project may not be
completed until 1991. Additionally, County Road #1 may see
additional sidewalk and storm sewer improvements which may need
to be coordinated with this project.
Tax Forfeited Properties
Main Street/Hiqhwav 169 Intersection
As development proposals are received staff was instructed to
take into consideration future safety improvements at this
intersection. Such safety improvements may include the
expansion of Main Street which will require the purchase of
additional right-of-way and working with MnDOT regarding
realignment of the signals. City finances for this project
would come from the MSA Fund.
Street Overlay and Seal Coatinq Projects
Staff was instructed to evaluate the condition of the City
streets and to present information regarding needed overlays
and seal coating areas in early 1990. Most of these
improvements would be financed through the City General Fund.
Some assessment of overlay projects may take place depending
upon the need and direction from the City Council.

East or West Hiqhwav 10 Utilities
Land use planning studies are anticipated to be received and
approved by the City Council in 1990 for planned development in
these two areas. A decision to extend utilities into one area
or the other is anticipated in later 1990. Planning for the
project will take place in 1991 and actual construction may
begin in 1992.
Fillmore Street
Staff was instructed to try to delay this project until at
least 1992~or 1993 if possible. A feasibility study has been
completed. This study would need to be updated and reevaluated
depending upon the design standards desired for this road by
the City Council. To reconstruct only Fillmore Street (and not
173rd) to MSA Standards would cost approximately $200,000. The
City has received approximately $15,000 in impact fees for this
project and could assess out another approximately $15,000 for
this project. It is possible that, as Fillmore Street and
173rd is a MSA route, that Fillmore gets reconstructed in one
year and 173rd get reconstructed the following year; therefore,
creating a 2 year construction schedule.
Annual Eauipment Purchases and Lease/Purchase Payments
The City spends approximately $340,000 per year on purchase of
smaller equipment items and payment of lease/purchase plans.
Items purchased include police cars, emergency preparedness
sirens, copy machines, administration vehicles, street and park
trucks, park mowers, street building lease/purchase plan, City
Hall lease/purchase plan and Woodland Trails purchase
agreement; This amount annually is received through taxes and
.this amount is anticipated to remain steady for the next five
years.
Smaller Park Improvements
The City annually uses approximately S25,000 of park dedication
funds for minor parkland purchases or improvements of existing
parks. Expenditure of funds are recommended by the Park and
Recreation Commission to the City Council.
Railroad Trail
Staff was instructed to work with the Park and Recreation
Commission on development and improvement of the recently
purchased railroad trail. The development in 1990 would be
financed through the Capital Project Fund ($15,000).
Bituminous surface on the trail is not anticipated for this
amount of money.

Purchase of Sanitarv Sewer Prooertv
Staff was instructed to attempt to purchase adequate land for
the long term future use by the Waste Water Treatment Plant.
The land is needed in order to "spread the sewer sludge" that
is accumulated at the treatment plant. An outright purchase or
a purchase calling for annual payments is acceptable. Funding
for the project would be from the Waste Water Treatment Plant
Reserves.
Old Citv Hall

The City Engineer will have to ensure that this construction
project, which started in 1989, gets completed. Remaining
completion cost of the project is $150,000. Financing for this
project will come from MSA monies.
Communitv Center Task Force (tC iF')
Staff was instructed to continue to work with this Task Force
in order for a recommendation to be received by the City
Council regarding the need for a community center. Following
the recommendation of the Task Force, staff would await City
Council direction on how to proceed in accomplishing the
recommendations from the Task Force.

1991 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT WORK PROGRAM
173rd Railroad Crossinq
Plans should be approved prior to 1991 for this project. City
financing for this project will come from the MSA Fund.
Construction is anticipated in 1991. No City role is
anticipated in the construction project.
Sidewalk Replacement
If this project was not completed in 1990, then the project(s)
would need to be finalized in 1991. All of the older sidewalk
sections in the core village of the City should be evaluated
and appropriate action taken.
School Street Sidewalk
If construction of a School Street sidewalk (and" maybe County
Road #1 sidewalk) project is not authorized by the City Council
in 1990, then such action could take place in 1991. This
project would be mainly an assessment to benefitted property
owner project.
. Waco Street
Efforts should continue by the staff to move this project
forward for construction in 1994. If right-of-way property for
the project has not been purchased, such action should be taken
in 1991 by the City. The City Engineer should finalize
