City of Ramsey. The study was a series of financial projections and assumptions supplied by the City that allowed Springsted to perform an analysis that indicated the impact of growth and the exception of revenues generate from the growth. The study focused on a time period between 1999 and 2005. It was determined after the study was presented that the study should have been extended to include the de-certification of Tax Increment Financing District No. 6, which is expected to be completed in the year 2006. Additionally, recent discussions of a City Hall expansion project, which would require substantial financing, would require further study of long-range revenue projections. Staff requested a quote from Juran & Moody for a fiscal impact analysis and received a proposal in February. Financing for the fiscal impact analysis would come from the Professional Services line item of the 2001 Budget of Administrative Services. The proposed fee for the completion of the study is $6,000. Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if the study included development that would occur west of Ramsey Boulevard during that period of time. Mayor Gamec replied that the study does not affect anything past Ramsey Boulevard. Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to contract with Juran & Moody to perform a fiscal impact analysis of projected revenues for the period of 2002 through 2006. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Zimmerman, Anderson, and Kurak. Voting No: None. Mayor Gamec recessed the regular City Council meeting at 9:12 p.m. Mayor Gamec called the regular City Council meeting back to order at 9:20 p.m. Case//8: Well House//3 Land Acquisitions City Attorney Goodrich stated that the City needs to acquire an access and easement to Well No. 5. The Council discussed the issue during a Closed meeting and recommended an alternate route. Staff has reviewed that alternate route and wanted to discuss it with the Council. City Engineer Olson stated that it was a good suggestion that Well //5 be connected to the existing system to the east on the future Sunwood Drive, however, there are several issues that relate to that connection and the reasons that staff was recommending staying with the alignment that would go to the north to C.R. #116 are as follows: ~ 1) Detailed alignment planning for Sunwood Drive is premature. Land use patterns are only conceptual at this stage and storm water capacity needs are unknown making it difficult to design Sunwood Drive around a storm water ponding system as illustrated in the current concept. The smart growth study will identify a more specific land use pattern and enable City Council/April 10, 2001 Page 16 of 18
