,. 612-3386838 HOISINGTON KOEGLER . 314 P02 OCT 07 '98 12:54 L e 3. Redevelopment Plans-$25,000-$50,OOO for each general area . Scattered sites along Highway 10 and the Industrial Park areas: A redevelopment plan would include a financial assessment, market analysis, site designs and architectural guidelines and review process, assessment of infrastructure needs and improvements and environmental reviews. 4. GIS development-$15,000-$20,OOO for a computer and plotter, GIS software, data and training for two staff. . Development of Geographic Information System is an implementation strategy that will support a variety of activities in the Community Development Department. The basic activity is for computer mapping. However, it also can serve as a tool for permit tracking, private septic system inspections, assessing, public notices for zoning and as the system progresses it can be much more useful. Consulting fees would likely be minimal on this project. All of these projects depend on the desired level of public participation through public meetings, focus groups, task force, open house or some other means. They also depend on the desired level of detail in the plan and how much staff time can be committed to the project. Other costs/sources of revenue to consider are staff or consultant time to put together grant proposals (DTED, Livable Communities Demonstration Account, Tax Base Revitalization Account, CDBG, etc...) Although these are usually good sources of funding, a grant application must be put together to acquire the funds and this can take anywhere from 10 hours to 100 hours of staff time depending upon the complexity of the grant. I hope this gives you a general idea for your budgeting purposes. CC: Fred Hoisington
