<br />by industry categories. Case study participants will be asked to confinn that the allocations are <br />reasonable, at least for the purpose of the study. <br /> <br />Check in with liaison group. Hold second meeting with liaison group to go over scenarios, land use <br />categories, case study communities, proposed nonfiscal impact study areas and the allocated forecasts. <br />This is an important time for outside input, prior to the consultant going into the field with assumptions in <br />place. The consultant will provide support for the meeting. <br /> <br />Field Work: <br /> <br />Conduct community interviews and prepare "level of service" papers. The consultant will conduct in- <br />depth interviews with municipal staff of case study communities and gather data on costs, revenue <br />sources and level of services provided. The data will include all funded activities that are affected by <br />development. The data will also include capital costs, as well as operating and maintenance expenses and <br />revenues. The consultant will prepare a level of service paper for each jurisdiction. The communities are <br />not being asked to calculate future demands-the fiscal impact model will do this. Case study <br />communities will be asked to confinn that the level of service paper describes reasonable assumptions <br />about service levels, costs and revenues and that the data are accurate. <br /> <br />.Conduct nonfiscal impact analysis. Council staff will design and conduct nonfiscal impact studies in <br />topic areas determined earlier. <br /> <br />Check in with liaison group. The consultant will review level of service papers with the liaison group. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact Model Development and Analysis-Case Studies: <br /> <br />Prepare fiscal impact model and fiscal impact report. Based on interviews and level of service paper. In <br />the fiscal impact report the consultant will discuss the reasons for the annualized expenditures as well as <br />revenues to the c.ommunities by type of service and by type of land use. The revenues will include all <br />revenue sources, and the costs will include both operating expenses and capital costs. Therefore the <br />community will understand the magnitude of any net costs that exist for the different land uses under the <br />two alternatives. The consultant will present fiscal impact reports to liaison group and the Metropolitan <br />Council. <br /> <br />Regional Fiscal Impact Analysis: <br /> <br />Prepare regional fiscal impact assessment. Council staff will work with the consultant to apply case study <br />fiscal impact findings for land use prototypes to communities across the region to estimate overall fiscal <br />impact of growth scenarios. Council staff will prepare a paper discussing policy implications of findings. <br />The consultant wil1 provide technical review of findings and critique of recommendations. <br /> <br />Expected Results: <br /> <br />. Level of service benchmarks for each type of jurisdiction. <br />. Fiscal impact analysis for each sample community and both sample school districts. <br />. Fiscal impact analysis of land use prototypes for application on a broader scale. <br />. Application and analysis of impacts and prototypes to region as a whole. <br />. Analysis of nonfiscal impacts of growth. <br />. Review of impact-of growth development patterns on sustainable development: <br /> <br />to <br />
