MEMBERS PRESENT: Reinert, Neal, Kuether, Elliott, Bergeson MEMBERS ABSENT: None OTHERS PRESENT: R. Schumacher, Al Ross 1. Capital Facility Study, John Bergeson Mr. Bergeson presented the October 1994 City of Lino Lakes Facilities Study Update for the Council's consideration. He explained that the Winsor/Faricy study conducted in 1989 was updated, with additional potential sites identified for city facilities. Mr. Bergeson said it was apparent the city needs more space, and sites are becoming scarce. Mr. Bergeson outlined the important points in the update: 1. Winsor/Faricy projected the population to reach 14,000 by 2004. The city has already reached 13,000. The city's growth was double the projection. 2. The Winsor/Faricy study compared the average amount of staff of municipalities the size of Lino Lakes with the amount of space per employee and projected the city currently needs 74,742 square feet, and will need 81,950 square feet by 2004. The city currently has 19,771 existing square feet. Assistant City Administrator Dan Tesch coordinated the update of the Winsor/Faricy study and based his assumptions on a fully developed city with a population of 25,000 by the year 2009. With those assumptions the city will conservatively need 61,681 square feet of facility space by 1999, and 68,295 square feet by 2009. 3. The Winsor/Faricy study recommended three sites: a) the existing Main Street site; b) the Lino Industrial site; and c) Birch Street and Highway 49. The updated study includes: a) Lake Drive south of I -35W; b) Birch Street and Centerville Road; c) I -35E corridor; d) Ash Street Sports Complex; and e) Lake Drive north of 1-35W.
