WATER RESOURCES UPDATE November 2005 TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager FROM: Lori Haak, Water Resources Coordinator DATE: November 30, 2005 SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE Yosemite Neighborhood The preliminary storm water assessment for the Yosemite/West 63rd Street neighborhood is complete. The results of the assessment were passed along to Bolton and Menk, who will be the consultant for the remainder of the project. Public Input and Involvement Four of six SWMP update task force meetings have been held. One or two more meetings (seven or eight total) may be necessary to achieve all the goals set for the task force. Staff will run any additional meetings to stay on budget. The technical committee, composed of federal, state and local government personnel, will be having their first meeting on December 1, 2005. Overall Progress and Funding Staff met with Ron Leaf from SEH on November 16 regarding the Surface Water Management Plan Update storm water infrastructure inventory. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the status of the project and about the areas where the numbers have exceeded estimates and therefore the costs exceeded contract amounts. The original estimate, included in the City’s Request for Proposals, for numbers of wetlands inventoried was 400. At present, SEH has inventoried 420 wetlands, 20 more than anticipated. The cost per wetland from SEH's original proposal was approximately $105. Using that figure would result in an additional $2,100 for that task. The original estimate, included in the City’s Request for Proposals, for numbers of storm water structures inventoried was 4,500. Since the City’s 1994 SWMP did not include a structure inventory, an estimate was developed using miles of street or city size (in square miles) and the number of structures in cities with inventories (Burnsville and Eden Prairie). As of November 16, SEH had inventoried approximately 5,650 structures. They anticipate the total number being in the 6,100 to 6,500 range. This is Water Resources Update November 30, 2005 1,600 to 2,000 more than originally estimated. The cost per structure from SEH's original proposal was approximately $24 per structure. However, about 1/3 of the total structures are located on private property, in parking lots or other places that were difficult to access with survey equipment during standard business hours. SEH indicated that they plan to request an additional 50% for those structures ($36 per structure). Using $36 per structure for 2,000 structures would result in an additional $72,000 for that task. (Currently, SEH estimates that their overall cost for the entire inventory has actually been about $46 per structure.) Because two anticipated 2005 projects (Curry Farms Creek Drainageway Project and Frontier Trail Beachlot Ponding Project (LL-P7.5)) were not undertaken in 2005, the Surface Water Management Plan fund line item for consulting (720-4300) is capable of funding additional costs. To date, $128,096 of the budgeted $820,000 has been expended. With the outstanding costs from the original contract added to this amount, the total anticipated expenditures for the year (not including any changes to the SWMP update contract) are approximately $400,000. Again, all estimates are preliminary. Staff has requested a letter from SEH with the final numbers and the justification of any and all overages so the contract amendment can be brought to the Council for their review and approval. Staff anticipates receipt of such a letter no later than December 31. LAKE RILEY BASIC WATER MANAGEMENT PROJECT In December 2002, the cities of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie petitioned the Riley- Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District (RPBCWD) to undertake the water quality improvements outlined in the Use Attainability Analyses (UAAs) for Rice Marsh Lake and Lake Riley. This involves the construction and expansion of several storm water ponds within the Rice Marsh Lake and Lake Riley subwatersheds in both Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. Several of the ponds that were anticipated in the UAAs will be constructed with the TH 212 project. The remaining ponds will be constructed or expanded as part of this RPBCWD project. The RPBCWD will be funding 100% of the design, construction and project management costs for the project (estimated at $2,000,000). The cities of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie will be responsible for 75% of all costs for land acquisition. Currently, most of the improvements proposed in Chanhassen are on public property. However, the RPBCWD has had appraisals conducted for two properties over which the City will obtain easements. The total estimated costs for the easements are $160,000. This means the City is responsible for approximately $120,000. The 2005 CIP includes $100,000 for the Lake Riley/Rice Marsh Lake Improvements (Project #SWMP-020); the 2006 CIP includes $75,000. G:\ENG\Lori\Administration\1105 CC Update.doc MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor City Council FROM: Greg Sticha, Finance Director DATE: December 1, 2005 SUBJ: Truth in Taxation Hearing The city budget for 2006 represents little change from the 2005 budget. I have included my memo from the November 28, 2005 council work session in which we discussed the 2006 budget and CIP in detail. HIGHLIGHTS Total budgeted expenditures in the general fund increase from $8,308,420 to $8,900,100. Of this $591,680 increase, $285,000 is a use of general fund reserves to be transferred to the debt service levy of the 1998A Park GO Bonds. Of the remaining increase, $225,650 (74%) is for increased wages and benefits to general fund employees, $20,000 for an increase in the police services contract with Carver County, and a $61,000 increase for estimated additional fuel and heating costs. These three items represent $305,650 (99.6%) of the increase in the general fund budget. The total levy for the City, including the general fund levy, a levy for the capital replacement fund, a small levy for sealcoating, and all debt service levies, went from $9,454,911 in 2005 to $9,354,890, which is an $84,864 or .8% decrease in total levies from the prior year. The effect this levy has on a $400,000 home in Chanhassen is about a $22.60 or a 1.6% decrease from the prior year. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council hold the public hearing for Truth-in- Taxation on December 5, receive public input regarding the tax levy and budget, close the public hearing, and adopt the proposed tax levy on December 12.
