I I. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: August 23, 1996 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM: Terrance Post, City Accountant @ I SUBJECT: Integration of 1997 PMP W orkplan with 1997 Proposed Budget Backl!:round I The 1997 Proposed Budget presented to the Council at the August 19,1996 Worksession assumed a level of General Fund Pavement Management Program (PMP) funding at $185,000. This funding level assumption was developed using recent history levels ($150,000) and I earmarking the proposed 1.95 percent net levy increase ($35,000) toward this program. The proposed expenditure level was not built up from aggregating costs of specific street improvements. I At the same Worksession, City Engineer Stonehouse presented a five year PMP plan which .. identified specific street improvements by year. Issue I Can the proposed 1997 PMP work plan be funded by current budget levels? Discussion I 1. The recommended sealcoat, overlay and non-MSA reconstruction streets would cause a $7,000 increase in General Fund Street Maintenance Department (PMP) expenditures to $192,000. It is expected that this increase can largely be offset by incrementally higher I property tax collections (i.e assuming a 2.9 percent instead of a 3.0 percent delinquency rate). I 2. The proposed reconstruction of Colleen Avenue at a project cost of $304,000 is feasible only ifthis street is added to the MSA system such that it qualifies for MSA Construction funding. It is expected that 40 percent of non-assessable costs ($121,600) would utilize . State Aid rather than General Fund funding. Please note the attached 8/22/96 revision of the 1997 CIP Plan. I 3. Although, not specifically related to 1997 PMP projects, the proposed $50,000 expenditure in the Surface Water Management Fund for the Grey Fox/Red Fox frontage I road 509 project has been deleted from the 1997 CIP. It is not judged to be cost effective to do the storm water phase of the project independent of street improvements. The I- recommendation is to defer this SWM work until the PMP portion is planned (currently the year 2000). .
