I. BACKGROUND Tischler & Associates, Inc. (T A) is under contract with the Metropolitan Council to conduct fiscal impact studies of eight communities. For this assignment T A will use the case study- marginal cost approach to analyze the fiscal impacts of the eight cities in the Metro area. The eight cities serving as prototypes include two developing cities (Cottage Grove and Shakopee), g~ng cities (Coon Rapids and Apple Valley), two fully developed cities (Rose vi lie and osevi e), as well as Minneapolis and St. Paul. As part of the study, two growth scenarios will be analyzed for each city. The results of the analyses will help provide the Council with a better idea of the fiscal impacts associated with new development in the suburban areas versus the fiscal impacts of redevelopment and reinvestment in the central cities and fully developed communities. The results will also be beneficial for each of the participating cities. The city-specific reports will serve as stand-alone documents containing valuable information to assist with growth and finance related policy decisions at the local level. The study analyzes capital costs, operating costs, and revenues associated with providing public services under each scenario. The first step of the case study-marginal cost approach is to conduct on-site departmental interviews and review budget and other relevant documents to determine current service levels and capacities, and associated costs and revenues. TlUs.LOS !eport for the City of Roseville contains the cost and revenue projection assumptions used to _ develop the customized FlSCALS system for the CIty. Both resi,dential and nonresidential land uses will be projected. Refer to Section ill for details on the land uses and projection scenarios. Once the model is complete based on the data contained in this report, it will be run, and the results will be analyzed. Both a growth scenario analysis as well as a prototype analysis will be conducted. The growth scenario analysis evaluates the overall fiscal impacts of the two growth scenarios of all land uses combined to the y~ 202([ whereas the prototype analysis evaluates the independe"nt fiscal impacts of each land use._ - 1 .%,~ ~~ .
