<br />The preliminary cost estimate list for the proposed public improvements is included in <br />Attachment A. The list was not included in the draft Guiding Plan so as not to imply that the <br />costs or the individual line items in the list have been approved. The purpose of the preliminary <br />cost list is to show how the $2 million cost estimate was calculated and that the estimated cost <br />was based on realistic and reasonable numbers. The City Engineer and Finance Director <br />reviewed the list and did not object to the numbers that were used. Additional engineering and <br />review of each item will be needed prior to any approvals; however, the $2 million estimate will <br />be helpful in the overall review and budgeting process. <br /> <br />The public improvements still rely on a number of factors including a more complete evaluation <br />of the costs, working with Ramsey County, and going through the budgeting and financing <br />process with Council. The public improvements in this Plan would be similar to the pavement <br />management program (PMP) process. The City orders a feasibility/engineering study and <br />evaluates financing, budgeting, timelines, engineering, etc. As part of the engineering review, <br />the City would also want to evaluate the underground utilities, which was not part of the scope of <br />this project. <br /> <br />Remainin2: Schedule and Next Steps <br /> <br />The remaining schedule for this project is as follows: <br /> <br />· November 5, 2008 - Planning Commission reviews Design Standards Ordinance <br />Amendments for the B2 Zone <br />· November 24, 2008 - City Council reviews and approves the Design Standards <br />Ordinance Amendments for the B2 Zone <br />· December 5, 2008 - B2 District Moratorium Expires <br />· Continue implementation discussion, planning, and budgeting <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Recommend accepting the "Master Plan for the New Lake Johanna Boulevard." <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />A.
