Voting yes Voting no ESTABLISHING OF POLICY REGARDING THE FINANCING OF PUBLIC UTILITIES (SANITARY SEWER AND WATER) STORM SEWER AND STREETS IN B-l, I-l, AND R-1 AREAS: I I i I I I I I I I I I Council discussed several years ago methods of financing the streets of I-l, B-1 and R-1 zoned areas. However, it was decided at that time to table the discussion and wait until sanitary sewer became imminent to Ramsey. Con- sequently, we are fast approaching the time when sanitary sewer will be in the City of Ramsey. In view of the above, we should be establishing a policy now in regards to how we proposed to finance public utilities, storm sewers and streets. It is very. important that we do have a good sound policy in regards to this issue as you are talking about a big financial undertaking. Council may want to send this to the Economic Development Commission. One or the other of the following should .be accomplished by them: a) Council may appoiht an Ad Hoc Committee consisting of City Council members, EDC members and City Staff to develop a rough draft on the above issue. b) Council should develop a proposed policY for financing of public utilities (sanitary sewer and water), storm sewers and streets in the B-l, I-1 and R-1 areas and submit thi~ to~he EDC~for their '~ review ~and comments. The difference here is you have prepared the basic proposed plan and they are 0nly reviewing and commenting on it. c) Have the EDC develop a proposed policy for financing of public utilities (sanitary sewer and water), storm sewers and streets in the B-l, I-1 and R-1 areas and submit it to Council for approval. The drawback to this approach is the EDC may take a faster approach to development than you would. Your action will be to decide what you want to do in regards to this issue. I would assume you will use select Staff to proceed with subparagraphs a or b above. However, you may want to send it straight to the EDC to be developed. In that case, you would proceed with subparagraph a above. The following proposed motion is hereby submitted for your consideration:
