developed by staff and the Parks Commission has been reviewed by the City of Lake Elmo Finance
Committee who recommended it be brought forward to the Planning Commission. MN State Statutes
views the Capital Improvement Plan as an element of the Comprehensive Plan. As a result, it needs to
be reviewed by the Planning Commission to make that determination in addition to holding a Public
Hearing.
At the Planning Commission meeting on November 28, 2016, the Planning Commission reviewed the
CIP document. Although some members had concerns about the plan for Reid Park, it was unanimously
agreed it was consistent with the City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan.

of $33,943,267. Through the process there were different recommendations from staff, Parks
Commission and Finance Committee with regards to projects for the Fire Department (land and a new
station) and Park Improvements in the existing parks. The City Council will need to review these items
and give specific direction on which recommendation they are approving.
Projects have three different statuses-Active, Pending and New Recommendations. In addition, to
approving the projects Council will be approving the status if each. New recommendation was used to
highlight new projects brought forward this year. Any projects that are new and approved in the plan
will transfer to the Active status.
OPTIONS:
1) Approve 2017-2021 CIP as presented
2) Amend the 2017-2021 CIP and then approve (for example remove projects or change status of
projects)
