<br />, <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />June 17, 1999 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator <br /> <br />Terrance Post, City Accountant 4D <br /> <br />2000 Budget Meeting No.2 - Year 2000 CIP/Other Matters <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />The year 2000 Budget calendar indicates a budget discussion regarding next year capital items to <br />occur at the June 21, 1999 Council Worksession. The purpose of this memorandum is to <br />facilitate such discussion. Staff has focused only on 1999 and proposed 2000 capital items for <br />this meeting. The proposed five-year, 2000 - 2004 capital plan will be presented at the July 19, <br />1999 budget meeting. <br /> <br />1999 Capital Budl!et Plan Issues <br />Attached Schedule A summarizes 1999 capital budget plans. Overview comments on remaining <br />issues follow: <br /> <br />. 1. The operating assumption is that the City will incur no construction costs for the new City <br />Hall project in 1999. Previously, it was assumed that the majority of the construction activity <br />would take place in 1999. <br /> <br />2. It was previously assumed that general planning costs for a new maintenance garage facility <br />would occur in 1999. Now it is assumed that the bulk of this planning will occur in 2000. <br /> <br />3. It was previously assumed that the monument sign at the Lexington Avenue/Highway 96 <br />intersection would be installed in 1999. Now it is assumed that both the monument signs at <br />this and the West Round Lake RoadlHighway 96 intersection location will be constructed in <br />2000. <br /> <br />4. Staff is still evaluating the merits of installing a security fence around the maintenance <br />garage at 1440 Highway 96 if there are definite plans to vacate the premises in the short term. <br /> <br />5. By action taken by Council in early 1999, the West Round Lake Road, Phase II <br />reconstruction project was postponed pending development activity occurring at the extreme <br />southern end of the Gateway Business District. Council also directed staff to carry over the <br />budgeted General Fund ($151,000) and Surface Water Management Utility funding <br />($184,200) until such time as the project proceeds. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />6. The 1999 BRW-prepared "Drainage Report" identified two (2) maintenance issues to resolve <br />this year - McClung Drive and Siems Court. Staff believes that the Siems Court drainage <br />problems are more effectively resolved as part of a street reconstruction project. <br />
