AGENDA ITEM 5 A <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Mary Kay Wyland <br />DATE: 1/6/99 <br />TOPIC: Reallocation of Interim MUSA Reserve -1999 (simple majority vote) <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City Council will recall a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, approved by the <br />Metropolitan Council in 1996, that allocated the distribution of 150 acres of <br />Interim MUSA Reserve on properties south and east of the Regional Park within <br />sewer districts 1,4, and 6. At that time it was anticipated that it would take three <br />years for completion of the City's updated Comprehensive Plan and 50 acres of <br />Interim MUSA Reserve was to be allocated per year During 1996, only 11.51 <br />acres were used, therefore, in June of 1997, the City Council amended the policy <br />on the allocation of interim MUSA Reserve to allow 70.28 acres for use during <br />1997 and 70.28 acres for 1998. In actuality, only 55.72 acres were used in 1997 <br />and 29.41 acres in 1998 leaving a current balance of 53.36 acres. Staff would <br />ask that the City Council again amend the policy on Interim MUSA Reserve <br />Allocation to allow use of the remaining 53.36 as needed during 1999. Attached <br />for Council information is an accounting of the MUSA Reserve to date. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Amend Policy on Interim MUSA Reserve to allow use of remaining 53.36 <br />acres during 1999. <br />2. Return to staff for further consideration. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option 1 <br />
