Alternate Projects This project list is for projects to be able to swap in the event primary projects are dropped. Project No. RCP-18: Paying for Future Infrastructure Needs (Development Fee Study) Approximately every five (5) years, the City updates its infrastructure plans and sources of funding. We desire to balance our vision and goals while remaining competitive with our peer communities. This project will provide an opportunity to research area development fees for new development and compare to peer communities. • How do different types of development compare to peer communities in terms of local rates and charges? • Should we be looking at different ways to pay for planned infrastructure? • Should we be looking at innovative ways to reduce costs? Project No. RCP-19: Sustaining Team (Employee Development Plan) As with many employers, recruiting and retaining talented professionals is an important aspect of our human resource strategy. This project aims to create an employee development plan, and is also an initiative of our Strategic Plan. • What core values do we expect of our employees? • What training and development opportunities should we be providing? • What professional development and volunteer opportunities should we be encouraging? • What are common steps and advancement opportunities for our team members? Project No. RCP-20: Protecting Future: Remembering Today (Highway 10 Official Map Update) The City is on its third generation of a plan for Highway 10 improvements. As part of this planning processes, land use controls have been put into place to protect future public need from costly investment that would need to be removed at a future date. Unfortunately, the uncertain timing of Highway 10 improvements creates a difficult situations for corridor stakeholders. Stakeholders have commented that these protections make it difficult to invest or sell. The City desires to clarify future vision and timing, and striking a balance between corridor preservation and interim economic realities. • Are there other tools other than an Official Map to consider? • Is there a better way to communicate the intent and benefit of corridor preservation? • Are there other types of support the community could provide to allow for reasonable use of the property until such time the area is needed for public purpose? Project No. RCP-21: Sustaining our Legacy (Historic Town Hall Plan) The historic Ramsey Town Hall is situated on Trunk Highway 47. It was utilized as Town Hall up until the late 1970s, at which time the community outgrew the facility. The structure has been placed on the historic registry, but has become squeezed by surrounding improvements. The facility currently sits empty. For decades, the community has been attempting to create a plan for the future of this facility.
