6 <br /> <br />Parks Projects <br /> <br />There are currently 35 items on the Parks CIP, most of which is replacement of existing park <br />equipment and facilities. These items were reviewed by the Parks Commission in June and <br />recommended for approval. All projects are currently funded by the Park Dedication Fund, <br />which we expect to be fully-funded for the next 10 years. However, those projections are based <br />on existing development trends and can change significantly depending on what occurs in the <br />housing market.. <br /> <br />Some of the projects are labeled simply “New Park Pavillion” without a location. This denotes a <br />plan to replace one pavilion per year, with the actual location being determined by condition and <br />need. <br /> <br />Attached Reports – <br />• Parks – Summary <br />• Parks – Detail <br />• Park Dedication Fund (404) – Funding Sources & Uses <br /> <br />Infrastructure Projects <br /> <br />This subset of projects includes Street, Water, Sewer & Stormwater Projects. <br /> <br />At the July 11, 2024 City Council Workshop, City Engineer Jack Griffin presented an updated <br />Pavement Management Plan that outlined the planned Street Reconstructions. This plan has <br />since been updated internally as new information is received and assumptions changed. <br /> <br />Street reconstruction projects are planned tentatively for the next 10 years. The final timing of <br />projects is dependent on street condition, project costs, available funding, and other factors. <br />“Street Improvement Projects” are typically done by neighborhood and a portion of the project is <br />assessed to homeowners for a 15-year period. It is these projects that will sometimes have a <br />segment in both Street and Water, as discussed earlier. <br /> <br />Other street projects include collector streets that serve more of the city as a whole and may not <br />have as many assessments, or County-led projects with a required City contribution. <br /> <br />The list of Utility (Water, Sewer, and Stormwater) projects includes a mix of repairs or <br />replacements of existing facilities, expansion or new facilities to address growth and/or PFAS <br />pollution, and contributions to developments to ensure proper sizing of new infrastructure. <br /> <br />Of note in Water projects is the cost of new Treatment Plants. It is currently expected that these <br />facilities will be fully-funded by the MPCA with the 3M Settlement Funds. So, of the <br />approximately $74 million in water projects, over $50 million will come from Grants/Donations. <br />Also of note, and related to those settlement funds, are projects that had been adopted in past <br />years, but are now marked as “Future” because MPCA funding for those projects is no longer <br />expected. These projects may not occur, or if they do, they may be largely funded by Special <br />Assessments. We have left them in the plan as we await additional information. <br /> <br />Attached Reports –
