Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />One of the implementation strategies of the Rice Street <br />Development Guide is to "Make organizational changes to encourage <br />implementation of the development guide ". (A copy of the details <br />involving this implementation step is attached for your review.) <br />As you will note, the primary consideration of this step is <br />defining services needed to be provided by consulting firms to <br />assist us with the implementation of the guide. To that end, I <br />will list the other implementation steps and provide a brief <br />discussion on the services needed to accomplish each. They are <br />as follows: <br />1. Promote the redevelopment of Market Place. <br />Ehlers & Associates, Inc., serving as our fiscal <br />advisors, will provide the financial analysis necessary <br />for this step. They will be working in conjunction <br />with City staff. Briggs & Morgan will be involved in <br />formulating a development agreement should the letter <br />of understanding be consummated. Costs associated with <br />this action would be part of the overall financing plan <br />for the district. <br />Recommendation: Current staff structure and consulting <br />arrangements are in place to address this item. <br />2. Use Development Guide to shape the plans for the <br />reconstruction of Little Canada Road. <br />Ramsey County is making a determination as to the <br />status of current right -of -way and roadway alignment. <br />They have also prepared cost estimates for <br />configuration options for us to consider. Ramsey <br />County will set their financial participation based on <br />existing policies. It will then be up the City to <br />determine what enhancements should be made to the <br />roadway at our expense. Therefore, we need to define <br />PPAGE 24 <br />
