TASK 2 Attend Liaison Group Meeting We will attend a liaison group meeting in which the various scenarios, land use categories, forecasts by FAZ. and other topics are discusses. We will be a resource at the meeting and be available to answer relevant questions and explain various approaches. Work Product: Presentation and Appropriate Supporting Material. TASK 3 Conduct CommuDity Level of Service and Cost and Revenue Factor Interviews In this task we will interview the community andlor school district providers in order to evaluate the level of service and cost and revenue factors which will be utilized in the analysis. The intent, reflecting. the case study-marginal cost approach, will be to include all general funded activities which will be affected by development. It is important to note that T A will not be asking the departments to calculate the future demands 1 to 20 years from now for each alternative. Rather we will interview the department and ascertain relevant factors and information to utilize. Our fiscal system designed for each community/school district will then calculate these demands. Our data collection will include capital cos~, operating and maintenance expenses affected by any capital facility changes, other operating expenses as well as all revenues. . In discussing capital facility needs with the Client, we will utilize one of two approaches. One approach will be direct entry of capital facility information, if it is known through the CIP that the facility will be constructed. and will partially or fully serve new growth. A second approach is for our fiscal impact system to calculate the need for n~w capital facilities as a function of the existing available capacity and the demands for service generated by the new development. Utilities, as well as roads, will be included if appropriate information is available from City sources on the City costs. ,- As part of this task we anticipate having some participation from Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates. 1beir engineering and cost analysis experience and information regarding infrastIUcmre in the Metro Council area is extensive. They will assist us regarding this topic as appropriate.

The draft will be sent to each community/school district for its "sign off'. After mutually agreed changes are made the final memorandum will be issued. 3 Tischler & Associates, Inc,
