WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: Mayor and Council Members FROM: Jim Dickinson, City Administrator SUBJECT: Open Space Referendum Discussion DATE: August 29, 2006 INTRODUCTION An Andover Council 2005-2006 goal is to explore open space preservation. Questions relative to open space were integrated into the recent community survey conducted by Decision Resources Inc. which indicated that there was strong support for the City to purchase open space for the purpose of preservation. The survey also indicated that residents would be supportive of an increase in property taxes to support open space preservation in the amount $20.60 on an annual basis. Council discussion over these results has lead to the potential consideration of an open space referendum as part of the November 2006 general election. In response to that discussion the Council created the "Open Space Task Force" on July 18, 2006 (refer to attached Council meeting minutes and Open Space Task Force member listing) to prepare a report for presentation to the Council on September 5, 2006. DISCUSSION The Open Space Task Force has meet four times over the month and has covered a lot of ground and at their last meeting have prepared a ballot question and a "Commonly Asked Questions" sheet for the Council's review (attached). The ballot question has been discussed at each meeting of the task force and has undergone review by the Trust For Public Land and the City's bond counsel. The "Commonly Asked Questions" sheet is a compilation of reference materials gathered through the task force's research and updated to meet the needs of the City of Andover. City Staff, City Administrator and City Planner, have assisted the task force along the way and have utilized the insight of bond counsel, Biggs & Morgan, and fiscal advisor, Ehlers & Associates, to assure that legal and fiscal requirements are met. The actual resolution that will be presented to the Council to approve ordering an open space ballot question is being prepared by Briggs & Morgan. The City Clerk has indicated that the deadline for a ballot question for the November 2006 general election would be September 15th. At that time the exact wording for the ballot question is needed. Also since the last meeting the Council has schedule before September 15th is September 5th, the Council will need to decide at the September 5th Council meeting whether or not an open space ballot question will be ordered. Update on Potential Open Space Referendum July 18, 2006 Page 2 of3 BUDGET AVAILABILITY The community survey cost was $13,750. The City did budget $20,000 for community survey related expenses, $6,250 is currently available to assist with incidental expenses if it is the Council's desire to pursue placing an open space referendum on the November 2006 general election. If additional budget is necessary, Finance would be able to provide suggested funding sources. ACTION REOUESTED The Council is requested to receive a presentation from the Open Space Task Force and City Staff, review and discuss the progress made, and provide direction on the next steps the Council would like to take.

UPDATE ON POTENTIAL OPEN SPACE REFERENDUM City Administrator Dickinson stated an Andover Council 2005-06 goal is to explore open space preservation. Questions relative to open space were integrated into the recent community survey conducted by Decision Resources, Inc., which indicated that there was strong support for the City to purchase open space for the purpose of preservation. The survey also indicated that residents would be supportive of an increase in property taxes to support open space preservation in the amount of $20.60 on an annual basis. Mr. Dickinson reviewed the staff report with the Council. Councilmember Trude thought this has been an important issue to the Mayor. She noted she drew up a resolution appointing members to a task force committee. The City Council hereby: 1. Authorizes the creation of an Open Space Task Force consisting of those persons whose names appear on the list as part of Packet Item 19 in the Council packet of July 18,2006, with the limitation that only one member per household may serve as a voting member. 2. Appoints Mayor Mike Gamache and Councilmember Mike Knight to represent the Council on this Task Force authorizing them to work with staff to organize the meetings, set the agendas and agree on the appointment of a Chair. 3. Directs the Open Space Task Force to prepare a report for presentation to the City Council on September 5, 2006, to answer the following question: "If Andover residents voted to increase their taxes in order to purchase $2 million of open space, what are the characteristics of the land that should be sought to be purchased with these funds?" 4. If the City Council votes to authorize a referendum be placed on the November ballot for the purchase of Open Space, the Task Force is authorized to prepare an article of information on the referendum for publication in the City newsletter and other media Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - July 18, 2006 Page 20 sources prior to the election. 5. The Open Space Task Force would be dissolved after completion of these tasks. 6. All meetings of the Open Space Task Force shall comply with the Open Meeting law, with notices posted, and other council members welcomed to attend. Motion by Trude, Seconded by Ortte!, to approve the proposed resolution. Councilmember Jacobson stated in general he did not oppose this except for item 3. He thought they need to defme what they mean and not just the characteristics of the land. They need to defme what they really mean by open space. Mr. Dickinson asked Decision Resources this question and when the survey question was asked it did not mean the development of "Ball fields or park specifics". The Council thought they need to define open space for the ballot. Councilmember Knight thought they need to lean heavily on the existing organizations out there. The Council discussed with staff what the committee should look at regarding open space. I~ omrioo unanllnow<ly. (RES.

Spending would be subject to an annual audit. Yes No BY VOTING 'YES' ON THIS BALLOT, YOU ARE VOTING FOR A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE. THIS PROPOSAL WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $8 PER YEAR FOR FIFTEEN YEARS FOR EACH $100,000 IN PROPERTY VALUE ON MOST PROPERTY TYPES. Commonly Asked Questions 1. What will the city accomplish with this dedicated funding? Andover will use the funds to acquire land from willing sellers for protection of water and air quality, preservation of wildlife habitat and natural amenities. 2. How will the city do this? The city will acquire land and/or enter into land preservation agreements to permanently protect natural areas. 3. Where would the lands be located? Land throughout the city will be eligible for consideration. 4. What can be accomplished with $2,000,000? An initial investment by Andover residents will open the door to matching funds from public agencies, nonprofit organizations and corporate sponsors. Preservation can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including the purchase of property, dedication of conservation easements, purchase or transfer of development rights and park dedication. By utilizing a combination of funding sources and methods, the amount of land that can be protected will be multiplied. 5. How long will these properties be protected? The land will be protected in perpetuity. 6. How much will property taxes increase to fund this program and for how long? A property owner will pay about $8 per year for each $100,000 of assessed property value for fifteen years. The annual tax impact is expected to decrease in future years due to growth in the city's tax base. 7. How will the city ensure the program is effective? A citizen advisory committee appointed by the City Council will review spending and expenditures will be audited annually. This information will be open to public review. . 8. Does the city have experience with similar projects? This year the city acquired more than 20 acres of natural habitat area and reached agreement to protect an additional 10 acres along the same wildlife corridor near Hanson Boulevard and 161 51 Avenue. The agreement includes a trail connection to the existing system along Hanson Boulevard. A restoration project in Kelsey Round Lake Park was also completed with funding from with the Department of Natural Resources and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The city is currently working with the DNR, Coon Creek Watershed Management District, Tree Trust and Anoka County Parks to restore native plants in wetlands along Coon Creek. With dedicated funding a city wide effort to preserve natural areas can be implemented. 9. What will the effect be on my property? Local and national research has shown that natural areas positively affect home values and consistently rank high on lists of home buyer preferences. 10. Are there natural areas remaining in Andover that need to be protected? Yes. Approximately 40% of the city remains undeveloped. However, The Metropolitan Council forecasts the city's population will grow to 39,000 people with the addition of as many as 4,000 new homes by the year 2020. There is presently an opportunity to preserve unique natural areas from development for the enjoyment of residents now and in the years to come. 11. Will all property owners be required to pay this tax? No, state law exempts agricultural land and seasonal property from taxes used to repay all referendum debt. 12. Why would a landowner want to participate in this program? This would be an option for landowners who don't want to see their land developed but want to protect it for the enjoyment of future generations.

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: Jim Dickinson, City Administrator SUBJECT: 2007-2011 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Review DATE August 22, 2006 INTRODUCTION City Departments have prepared a proposed 2007-2011 CIP (attached) for the Council's review. Also attached are various rate analysis and cash flow projections used during the process. The proposed projects will be review with the Council at the meeting. Underlined items in the Staff report will be discussed in further detail at the meeting. DISCUSSION Bude:et Guidelines: The following are City Council's 2007 Budget Development guidelines (established by the City Council on May 2,2006) used by City Staff to prepare the proposed 2007-2011 CIP: 1) A commitment to maintain or reduce the City Tax Capacity Rate, utilizing recent market value growth to meet the needs of the organization and positioning the City for long-term competitiveness, staffing and capital requirements through sustainable revenue sources and operational efficiencies. 2) A commitment to review various revenue streams. including but not limited to tax levy. state aid. grants and special assessments. to adequately fund necessary City roadway improvements. 3) A fiscal goal that works toward establishing the General Fund balance for working capital at no less than 35% of planned 2007 General Fund expenditures. 4) A commitment to limit the 2007 debt levy to no more than 25% of the gross tax levy and a commitment to a detailed city debt analysis to take advantage of alternative financing consistent with the City's adopted Debt Policy. 5) A comprehensive review of the condition of capital equipment to ensure that the most cost- effective replacement schedule is followed. Equipment will be replaced on the basis of a cost benefit analvsis rather than a vear based replacement schedule. 1 6) A team approach that encourages strategic planning to meet immediate and long-term operational. staffing, infrastructure and facility needs. 7) A management philosophy that actively supports the implementation of Council policies and goals. and recognizes the need to be responsive to changing community conditions, concerns and demands in a cost effective manner. Current City of Andover Capital Improvement Policy: The following is the City of Andover adopted Capital Improvement Policy, which is part of the City of Andover Financial Policies: CITYOFANDOVERFmANC~Poucrns C. Capital Improvement Policy 1. A Capital Improvements Program (CIP) will be developed for a period of five years. As resources are available, the most current year of the CIP will be incorporated into the current year operating budget as the Capital Improvements Budget (Cm). The CIP will be reviewed and updated annually. Years two through five are for planning purposes only. 2. The City will maintain its physical assets in a manner, adequate to protect the City's capital investment and to minimize future maintenance and replacement costs. The City will provide for maintenance and replacement from current revenues where possible. 3. To be considered in the Capital Improvements Program a project must have an estimated cost of at least $5,000 in one of the calendar years of the project. Projects may not be combined to meet the minimum standard unless they are dependent upon each other. Items that are operating expense (such as maintenance agreements, personal computer software upgrades, etc.) will not be considered within the CIP. 5. Capital projects, which duplicate other public and/or private service, will not be considered. 6. The City will identitY the estimated costs and potential funding sources for each capital project prior to inclusion in the CIP. The operating costs to maintain capital projects shall be considered prior to the decision to undertake the capital projects. 7. Capital projects and/or capital asset purchases will receive a higher priority if they meet a majority of the following criteria: A. Mandatory project B. Maintenance project (approved replacement schedules) C. Improve efficiency D. Provide a new service E. Policy area project 2 F. Broad extent of usage G. Length of expected useful life H. Positive effect on operation and maintenance costs I. Availability of county/state/federal grants J. Elimination of hazards (improves public safety) K. Prior commitments L. Replacement due to disaster or loss 9. The CIP is to be presented by the Finance Director annually to the City Council for approval. Any substantive change to the CIP after approval must be approved by the City Council. Proposed 2007 Capital Proiects Levy: Capital Proiects Levy - The 2007 Budget number for the Capital Projects Levy is part of the 2007-2011 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) review process. . Road and Bridge - This levy is proposed for transportation programming related to maintaining City streets, roadways and pedestrian trails. This would be the fourth year that a portion of the Road & Bridge Fund is dedicated to pedestrian trail maintenance. This levy is also used for the City's seal coating and crack sealing programs and to street overlays and reconstructs. The 2007 Road and Bridge levv was calculated using an additional 1 % of captured net tax capacity based on Council direction. And while the policv for road assessments is not fully complete, the budget is designed to achieve the Council's goal of adequately funding necessary City roadway improvements. . Park Improvements - This levy is proposed as an annual appropriation to be used to underwrite a wide range of park improvement projects as recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission and approved by the City Council. This funding is intended to be a long-term supplemental source of capital funding for park projects that would be separately identified in the City's Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan. A 3% levv increase is proposed. . Capital EauipmentIProiects - Under the Capital Projects Levy, the levy proposed is designated to capital improvement/equipment project expenditures. Through this designation, the City, over time, will be able to build a fund reserve to avoid cash flow "spikes" and address a wide range of capital improvement needs such as facility maintenance projects under a more controlled spending environment. No increase will be proposed for this levy. which is currently approximately $210,000. Debt Service Levy: Annually the Finance Department conducts a detailed debt service analysis to monitor outstanding debt and to look for early debt retirement or refinancing opportunities that will yield interest expense saving to the City, that process is currently underway. The Debt Service levy will need to provide for (at a minimum) the following debt service payments: 3 . 2004A G.O. Capital Imp. Bonds . 2004 EDA Public Facility Bonds . 2005 G.O. Capital Imp. Bonds . 2005B G.O. Equipment Certificate . 2006B G.O. Equipment Certificate $365,051 $889,718 $126,305 $ 63,945 $188,475 There will also be an additional $200.000 added to the levY to accommodate a 2007 G.O. Equipment Certificate to purchase equipment that will be outlined in the 2007-2011 CIP. ACTION REOUESTED The Council is requested to review the 2007-2011 CIP and provide direction to staff.

This facility would be built to blend in with the rest of the City complex and not a sight distraction within the campus. Justification I At the present time the City purchases salt from Anoka County, which has been done since the City was first adopted. This puts us at the mercy of the county operations, causing situations such as what time someone will be there to load our trucks, do they have an adequate supply of salt needed at all times, We have had good working relations with the county, but they also would like to see us be able to store our own winter supply so they would be able to keep a larger supply of salt for county use, Cost savings is also a large part of having our own storage, We can purchase product at $10.00 to 15.00 per ton less, plus we wouldn't be paying a 15% administration fee for county personnel services.

It will be added to the north end of the present building and be the same in size, 100' x 250' with a 75' x 140' addition to the northwest side of the new vehicle storage garage for the vehicle maintenance shop. This building will be built with cement panels to match the present vehicle garage and would screen Public Works operations from the Community Center/YMCA as proposed in ajoint meeting with the Mayor and City Council. Justification 1 Due to the increase of vehicles, equipment and supplies now used by the City of Andover, this vehicle storage building and vehicle maintenance repair shop is badly needed. It is not cost effective to have vehicles or other equipment stored outside. Minnesota's four seasons are way too hard on them and it makes for a much cleaner operation. The vehicle maintenance repair shop has been needed for a long time. The area now used has doors that are not wide enough and work areas for the hydraulic hoist are way too small. Also with the amount of equipment now maintained by our staff in the area is much too small to run a completely safe operation.

These would be an addition to the fleet Justification Currently the grass truck at St #2 is responding to all medical calls but is not equipped to handle all emergencies. Another smaller truck designated and equipped strictly for medical calls would be more efficient and economical, thus preserving the bigger grass rig and extending its useful life, Of the fire department responses, approximately 60% of the calls are now medical related, With the medical gear currently stored on the grass truck, the equipment is always getting wet or damaged by fire type responses, The goal of having one specific vehicle at each station designed for medical responses will help to keep the appropriate equipment in the right locations always available for medical calls, The proposed truck will have a fiberglass body with plenty of storage space so that we will also be able to store and transport hydraulic rescue equipment on the vehicle as needed. The grass trucks will last us longer as they will be used strictly for wildfires and transportation of hose and equipment from fire scenes. The medical gear and equipment will also be less likely to become contaminated by fire and have to be thrown away or cleaned before we have a chance to use it All three stations have a higher percentage of medical responses and it is important that we have the appropriate vehicles to erform the 'ob, Expenditures Vehicles 2007 40,000 40,000 2008 2009 2010 2011 Total 40,000 40,000 Total Funding Sources Equipment Bond 2007 40,000 40,000 2008 2009 2010 2011 Total 40,000 40,000 Total Operational Impact/Other I A smaller truck would be more efficient and economical and would also extend the useful life of the grass rig, By having a designated vehicle for medical responses, the fire department will be able to cany more of the appropriate medical equipment and not have to be concerned about contamination from grass fires or other types offrre incidents that we may respond to, The "medical" vehicles will also be kept in town and not in other cities as they may be now when called for mutual aid assistance for wildfires.

When future development to the west was to take place and a new trunk line was installed from the Anoka area, this station was then to be eliminated and the flows would be to a gravity system. We have been told this probably will not happen any time soon and we should consider the lift station as a permanent structure, This is the oldest lift station of the 9 currently in use, The controls and components to operate this unit are out dated and in need of replacement The controls would be upgraded to the same controls used at all the other stations. This particular station has the highest usage on a day to day basis along with the longest force main to reach the gravity system.

These trunk mains are flowing near capacity in some areas at the present time. By removing the sedimentation in these pipes the flow line will drop giving more room for additional flows, In turn this could put on hold the addition of the designated lift station to by pass certain areas for a year or more. Without the addition of this new PD Unit, the trunk lines could still be cleaned by blocking the flow in the main which will cause a backup in the system until the pipes are cleaned. This would be done in sections at a time to try and avoid a major backup into basements, This is not the best way to do the maintenance but would work with some risk. This type of unit can also clean flared end sections in back yards and sedimentation ponds within a reasonable distance, This would allow some areas to be cleaned without having to enter properties with equipment that will do some type of damage to yards saving money in yard restoration, Expenditures Equipment 2007 2008 300,000 300,000 2009 2010 2011 Total 300,000 300,000 Total Funding Sources Sanitary Sewer Fund 2007 2008 300,000 300,000 2009 2010 2011 Total 300,000 300,000 Total Operational Impact/Other I This truck will help save time with cleaning of the system.

It requires no set-up, The Radius Master comes with the 4 radii used by Minnesota Department of Transportation, Justification I When using our metal shear to cut sign blanks to size and reuse old blanks, the sharp comers must be cut to a specific radius, Currently, the comers are marked with the proper radius, put in a vise in the maintenance shop and grind the comers down with a hand held 4- I12n grinder. 1his process is time consuming, extremely' noisy and very hot particles are exposed to the skin, A full face shield is required, as well as ear protection. To special order sign blanks costs the city 2-3 times as much as our annual bid order that takes 6-10 weeks to receive. The cost of aluminum sign blanks has increased 100% in the last II months. The Radius Master is safe, clean, quiet and easy to use. There is no setup and clean up is minimal. The machine uses 8 sq it of floor space & operates on standard 110 electricity.

Medium Contact PW Superintendent Department Water Project # 07-48100-02 Project Name Sealing of Well #1 Description Well #1 would be sealed off from use by a licensed well contractor. Justification This well has not been used for sometime now. This particular well is 600 feet deep and is pumping a high volumne of sand when it was in operation, The well was designated as an emergency well about four years ago and was not used in this time frame. The formation of this well is very soft and would take a considerable amount of money to try and make it produce the water needed. There is no other aquifer in this area above the existing aquifer. It is also a well that is high in radium which is another reason not to use it It would be in the best interest of the city to seal it and use the water from the treatment facility to feed this area. Money would be best spent on making the water system one system rather than the two we are current! usin .

The only existing connection between the two parts of town is along Bunker Lake Boulevard. Looping of the system will allow treated water to be continuously supplied to all residents in town on the water system. It will also help alleviate the pressure variance that is experienced between the east and west sides of town. Coon Creek Boulevard is scheduled for reconstruction in 2008.

Staffhas noticed that during the high peaking months of May through September the water plant needs to backwash the filters on a daily basis. With the single reclaim tank now in operation the daily operations will run into a difficulty with backwashing filters as there is not enough room to handle the flows required to meet the needs. As the population continues to increase more of a demand is put on the system to function at a high rate of production. With an increase in tank size the operations can continue without much interuption when more room is required for backwashing of the filters.

The base was chosen to coincide with Legislative action to change property class rates at the same time that there were major cuts in LGA. The first chart shows the composite trend data for all NMMA cities without the City of Minneapolis included due to the significant difference in budget levels. When Minneapolis is included, the pattern is very similar but the degree of change is different. We will package this chart for discussions with legislative candidates and other appropriate outlets. The second chart is for your select city. Board Members are the only ones to get copies of this information and we will not share it with others without your consent. Use of this information is your choice. We recognize that each city has its own tax base make up, local culture and political discussion to deal with. We felt that there are so many possible ways to interpret the data that it should be done by those responsible for the decisions being reflected. In general, the charts show that LGA has been reduced significantly, property tax levies and homestead tax levies have risen noticeably and local business taxes have declined. We did not separate out the multi-family property tax data The composite data show that when adjusted for inflated costs of public services, as opposed to the Cost of Living Index, city revenue base is about 10% below the Pay 2002 level. The homestead tax trend is fueled both by the class rate changes as well as escalating home values. The business class tax drop reflects the rate change but does not include the statewide business tax currently levied by the State. For your information, we also generated a data base based on State Auditor's data that covers the 2000 -2004 budget years. CY 2005 data won't be available until later this year. In reviewing the results, it is clear that there are too many discrepancies and unexplainable changes to draw detailed conclusions. Examples include how capital expenditures are recorded, how debt service is set up (GO Levy vs. EDA Revenue Bonds), etc. Consequently, we will not be releasing that information to anyone. Please review the two charts and let me know if you have any questions. We'll get the best answers possible. If you share this information during your budget process or other public forums we would welcome your assessment as to the value added to your city.

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: Jim Dickinson, City Administrator SUBJECT: Follow Up Information DATE: August 29,2006 At the August 22nd Council workshop, there was a request by the Council to have more information distributed on the Motor Vehicle Sales Tax (MVST) Constitutional Amendment that will be on the November 7th ballot. I have attached a North Metro Mayors Association document that should assist each Councilmember. If you would like additional information, do not hesitate in contacting me. NMMA Transportation Policy Position: TRANSPORTATION BACKGROUND; The 2005 Legislature adopted a transportation funding bill that would have provided significant increases in funding for roads, highways and transit services in Minnesota. The 2006 Legislature again considered funding increases but failed to reach consensus in the Conference Committee. Consequently, the only immediate opportunity to increase funds for roads, highways and transit services is support for the adoption of the Motor Vehicle Sales Tax (MVST) Constitutional Amendment that will be on the November 7 ballot. The NMMA Board Members are hopeful that candidates for Governor and the Legislature will address the escalating transportation funding gap during the General Election campaign process and then follow through during the 2007 Session. The gas tax, or, "fuel user fee", has not changed from the current rate of 20 cents per gallon since fall of 1988 when gas sold at an average of about $1.00 per gallon. If the same rate of tax as a percent of purchase price. 20.0%, prevailed at today's price of about $3.00 per gallon, the fuel user fee would be 60 cents, or a 200% increase that would generate an additional $1.3 Billion per year to repair and improve Minnesota's deteriorating transportation infrastructure and level of service. CURRENT POLICY POSITION: The NMMA Board of Directors recommends that the Governor and Legislature collaborate in the development and passage of a transportation funding package early in the 2007 Session so as to avoid late session failure to reach agreement. Agreement is urgently needed to address needs of city and county roads as well as the state roads that they supplement. Further, a long term financing strategy for transit infrastructure and services is needed to meet mobility needs of our work force, handicapped travelers and increasing numbers of senior citizens. Towards this end, the NMMA offers the following documents as resources and a framework for debate: · "Transportation Principles" that should guide decision making, including, o Reliance on increased user fees o Provide certainty of funding o Prudent Fiscal Management · "Principles Commentary" that provides additional ideas for consideration and rationale for recommended actions, · "Transportation Fact Sheet" documenting the severity of the trunk highway system funding gap based on 2005 estimates that predate recent annual increases in highway construction costs due to inflation, · A "Conceptual Funding Plan" offering a mix of fund sources for consideration that can serve as a menu of choices and framework for analysis and debate on the options available.

NORTH METRO MAYORS ASSOCIATION TRANSPORTATION PRINCIPLES FOR CONSIDERATION BY CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE--2006 ELECTION CAMPAIGNS OVERVIEW The North Metro Mayors Association members believe that significant new revenues are needed for Minnesota's transportation system. We have fallen behind prudent investment schedules and are suffering safety, congestion, economic and quality of life impacts as a result. Our future well being demands that we invest now to enhance our future ability to sustain our growing population and our economic base that provides jobs and wealth to us all. The problems created by chronic underinvestment in transportation are well known and have been well documented in reports and media coverage. There were serious proposals under consideration in the 2005 Legislature from the Governor, the Association of Minnesota Counties, the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, the Minnesota Transportation Alliance and individual Legislators. These organizations and leaders should be congratulated for their efforts that raised awareness of the need for significant new funding and for providing specific solutions to the funding dilemma. Unfortunately, the funding bill agreed to by the Legislature did not meet with the Governor's approval. . In the end, the 2006 Legislature failed to. reach agreement on transportation funding. Our challenge now is to craft a plan that can receive bipartisan support in the Legislature as well as the concurrence of the Governor in the 2007 Session. Toward that end, the NMMA puts forth for consideration the attached PRINCIPLES that should guide the crafting of the increased transportation funding legislation.

We believe that the best source of that new revenue should be the users of the system. Resolving all of the policy issues that complicate this debate at one time is a daunting task. Purity in purpose may not be achievable in the immediate future, but we should debate the options with fundamental Principles as a basis for conversation. We suggest that three Principles should fonn the basis of beginning that conversation: 1. RELIANCE ON INCREASED USER FEES 2. CERTAINTY OF FUNDING 3. PRUDENT FISCAL MANAGEMENT I RELIANCE ON INCREASED USER FEES TO FUND HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS: I . CONTRIBUTION PROPORTIONAL TO BURDEN IMPOSED We believe that it is fair and appropriate that users of the transportation system pay for the burdens that they impose on society and other users. To suggest otherwise is to argue for cross subsidization of one user to another. It is not always clear what constitutes a 'fair' fee contribution, and society as a whole benefits from an efficient transportation system. For example, each citizen benefits from lower priced, higher quality foods derived from use of an efficient road system whether they use the road personally or not. Likewise, there is societal value in providing effective transit services for people without auto availability. In considering how to balance costs and burdens imposed, it is convenient to think in tenns of other 'utility' systems. In public water supply utility tenns, there are two basic cost factors: 1) Water Opportunity Costs, and, 2) Water Use Costs The Opportunity Cost is a fixed cost that ensures that the pumps and pipes are in place and water is available when a user needs it. The Use Cost is a variable cost that is detennined by how much water is used. One option to consider for highway user fees would suggest that vehicle registration and MVST revenues should cover the availability cost while fuel user fees should cover the variable operating costs. Given the difficulty in calculating costs and burdens, immediate action is recommended to gradually increase vehicle registration fees, fuel user fees as well as 100% dedication of MVST revenues. Further, the Legislature should review the costs of transportation system construction and operation to detennine if a different mix of revenue sources is appropriate. · TRANSPARENCY OF RELATIONSHIP We believe that the majority of consumers are willing to pay a fair fee for their use of a service as long as there is a clear relationship between use cost paid. The use of "Opt-In Tolling" on 1-394 is a clear example of direct linkage of payment to user choices made. However, for most motorists, use of credit cards for payments for fuel at the pump insulates the user from direct cost impact of driving both by delaying the cash transfer and by mixing the fuel cost with other card based purchases. Most road users understand that fuel use is a measure actual miles driven. Perhaps not surprisingly, many do not know that fuel user fee revenues are constitutionally dedicated to "highway purposes". Further, there is some qualification as to what is deemed a highway purpose. The Govemor and MnlDOT should lead efforts to clarify fund source and use information. Future transportation user fee increases should be accompanied by a clear statement of what the funds will be used for and how and why the choice of rates and sources was made. · GENERATIONAL EQUITY We believe that the transportation system should be funded on a "Pay as You Go" basis with restrained use of borrowing. An entire generation of new drivers in Minnesota has not experienced a user fee rate increase. In real dollar terms they are paying only about 60% of the fuel user fee set in 1988. Real reductions were made in vehicle registration fees in 2000. In other words, current users are not paying at a rate that should have been adjusted incrementally over the past 18 years just to keep the buying power constant. To a degree, borrowing funds via bonding to pay for current investments is a wise choice if the benefits gained and costs avoided by advancing projects out weigh the costs of the loan. To the extent that bonding is used to catch up to deferred costs, future users are being asked to pay for costs that were passed on from one generation of users to another. We also need to consider policy options such as: 'What is an appropriate level of debt service that we can justify for bonding without losing future generations' choice flexibility"? Given the amount of past use of bonding for highway improvements, we suggest that future borrowing costs should be paid by directly increasing current user fees to cover the debt payment Further, the Legislature should establish a highway bonding limit policy, comparable to limits on General Fund bonding, so that future bonding program decisions can be made more rationally and without the political rancor that has been evident in recent debates. CERTAINTY OF FUNDING FOR TRANSIT & HIGHWAYS: The current shortage of funds for highways and transit investments has created an unsustainable program delivery challenge. Use of available funds to preserve what has been built is a necessary choice but it leaves little hope for those looking at unmet needs to improve the system. Consequently, there are increasing efforts to go "around the system" to influence priorities and schedules. Expanding project scope and cost inflation is a frequent issue but should be anticipated. Frequently problems are not identified until more intensive design 2 work or site exploration has occurred just due to the nature of the planning and design process. Delays and changed conditions mean that anticipated improvements may not arrive when planned. As our funding gap. has deepened, costs of steel and concrete have escalated, further exacerbating the problem. Communities and businesses follow a tortured path without certainty that funds will be available for implementation, further complicating the best public involvement process and creating lack of trust needed to succeed. A more dependable funding stream must be assured to provide credibility in the project development process. In order for streamlining efforts to effectively reduce the overburden of unnecessary tasks and processes, more work is needed eartier in the project definition stage. In order for that eartier work to occur, adequate resources and staff expertise must be maintained to drive the process. The result will be fewer, surprises found later in the process. In short, our programming process should maximize the match of expectations for improvements with the certainty of delivery. . LEGISLATIVE ACTION YS. REFERENDA REQUIREMENTS In our representative form of government we elect office holders to make decisions on our behalf. We elect people that we trust will make good decisions. We are obligated to share opinions and information on choices to be made with those representatives, recognizing the complexity of the decision. If trust is not sustained, we have opportunities in future elections to change our choice of representative. In addition to this consideration, submitting needed funding increases to a referendum adds uncertainty and delay to the delivery of improvements. Deferring increases in funding until after a November ballot risks: a. Rejection of needed revenue increases and lost investment opportunities ' b. More years of inflation costs added to projects ready to go. c. More years delay in the receipt of benefits in safety, congestion and environmental impact gained from improvements. . TRANSFER OF MOTOR VEHICLE SALES TAX REVENUE FROM THE GENERAL FUND Legislative action to transfer 100% of the share of MVST funds currently retained in the General Fund is recommended for approval on November 7,2006. This transfer is appropriate in that: , . a. The action would provide some certain funds immediately on a secure schedule. b. The MVST revenues can be considered transportation user fees that most payers assume are for that purpose c. If the Legislature and Governor believe that a Constitutional Amendment is needed to avoid 'raiding' by a future Legislature, the issue can be left on the 2006 ballot for ratification of the 2006 Session decision. I It is appropriate to note that if the MVST transfer is approved, the transportation funding problem will not be solved. The new revenue available to MnlDOT will 3 only fill about 5% of the funding gap in the Metro area trunk highway system. More steps must follow in the 2007 Session. · RELIANCE ON UNCERTAIN FEDERAL FUNDING Congress was many months late in passing SAFETEA-LU, the latest federal funding reauthorization bill for transportation. Minnesota lost over $150 Million in federal revenues due to the lateness of the new bill. Appropriations will apparently be only 85% of the authorized funding levels and earmarking has complicated the matching with state funds. It is apparent that there will not be significant increases in future federal user fees to help fill our funding gap. Consequently, future programming should be supported by a strong state fund commitment sufficient to meet basic operating and construction program needs. Federal funds should be used to accelerate critical projects in the base program. · MINIMAL RELIANCE ON UNCERTAIN PRIVATE FUNDING Mn!DOTs MnPASS Study results indicate that there are no potential tolling projects in the Twin Cities area that will generate sufficient revenues to justify 100% private sector financing. Indications are that the most encouraging project would generate only 25% of the revenues needed to cash flow. The remaining funds would have to come from the public sector. How those funds would be sourced is uncertain. How many and when funds would be needed is unknown at this time. We suggest that we not rely on those funds to influence our choices today. Rather, we should continue to seek opportunities in the future and consider those projects when they are found viable. · ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE 'EFFICIENCIES' THAT CAN YIELD FUNDS FOR NEW PROJECTS The Pawlenty Administration has made significant reductions in the Mn!DOT administrative and management ranks over the past biennium. Additional cuts are anticipated in the 2007-2008 Budget to be submitted to the Legislature in January. Streamlining actions have been taken along with design! build and other management strategies to reduce overhead costs. The results of these actions are positive. These savings are not reflected in national statistics that were used in 2005 to suggest greater efficiencies can result in transfer of revenues to construction projects. However, we need to be certain that we maintain the level of professional expertise needed to develop and deliver the program that we ask for. We must maintain the infrastructure already in place. We suggest that the Legislature ask that a "Peer Review" of Mn/DOT operations, budgets and policies by respected transportation professionals be conducted to ensure that organizational capacity is maintained at the appropriate level for future program delivery. It might also be of value to review the structural organization of highway and transit service planning and delivery in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Do we need seven Regional Rail Authorities in addition to the Metropolitan Council? Should the 'Twin Cities' transportation planning area be extended beyond the 8 County Mn/DOT Metro District boundaries? Are the highest priority projects being scheduled for funding on a statewide basis? 4 We suggest that these questions deserve consideration. In the mean time, we should not bank our future on additional savings until we conduct an audit of costs and benefits that could be achieved and the legislative and administrative actions that must be made to enable those changes to occur. PRUDENT FISCAL MANAGEMENT: "PAY AS YOU GO" MnlDOT has estimated that the i gap in funding needed to meet established performance standards through the year 2030 is $24 Billion statewide, with a shortage of $21 Billion in the Metro Area. We should not respond to this challenge simply and by only raising new revenues immediately. We need to take a more thoughtful view of how much of the gap needs to be filled and how quickly to generate the most effective retum on our increased investment , . PHASE IN REVENUE INCREASES The delivery of highway and transitway projects is a long and complicated process. Public involvement and environmental analyses are crucial parts of the process. Greatly accelerating implementation of critical projects must not come at the full cost of abandoning these commitments. While there are several MnlDOT projects in "Advanced Design" stages almost ready to go, is it is possible to ramp up to a full flow of recommended new funding immediately? Is our construction industry able to gear up quickly after recent hard times? How soon can priority projects be brought on line and what investments in planning and project development are needed to get there. We also are concemed that key transit system additions to the Hiawatha Line are controversial and not fully designed. These concems suggest we need to more accurately determine how much new funding is needed in the next few years while accounting for likely cost inflation and scope adjustment that are inevitable to accommodate community needs and to avoid unwise 'comer cutting'. . PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR HIGH PRIORITY MEGA PROJECTS The lack of adequate funds for highways and capital investments in transit has not been fully met by recent bonding and advanced federal fund use. There are several critical bottleneck, beltway and Inter Regional Corridor projects remaining in the near term 'mega project' category. These projects require large amounts of money over short periods of time. Funding these projects from the regular program would leave very few smaller projects funded for the foreseeable future. Judicious use of bonding, as suggested above, removes these projects from the programming process and removes major headaches from the system operation. , . PROVIDE EARLY NEW FUNDING FOR TRANSIT, CITIES AND COUNTIES The Metro Council has identified a system of transit ways that should be built by 2030 to meet future mobility needs. MnlDOT has assumed that these transit services would be available when making their need forecasts. Reliance on bonding for the state program has not providing increased funding for city and county roads needed to supplement the state arterials. In fact, funding problems at Mn/DOT have led to increased demands for city and county contributions to project costs. As new funding is brought online, emphasis should be placed on addressing the funding needs of transit providers, cities and counties. U:\NMMA\2006 Session\Transportation\NMMA PRINCIPLES Commentary 2007.doc 5 NMMA TRANSPORTATION FACT SHEET UNMET NEEDS - 2008-2030 MnlDOT developed performance standards for the Minnesota Trunk Highway System and analyzed the current status of each route. Based on their review, the current funding stream was found to be significantly deficient in meeting needs for improvements. Moreover, a significant portion of the anticipated unmet funding needs, based on current fund distribution policies, was derived from Metropolitan Area roadways. The following table summarizes MnlDOT's findings. The 'Funding Gap' equals $1.048 per year on average ($23.9B I 23 years). This estimate does not include funding shortfalls for transit or for City, Township and County roads needed to complement M' ta' h' h t mneso s Ig way sys em. STATEWIDE METRO METRO SHARE FUND NEEDS 2008-2030 $38.1 B $27B 70.9% CURRENT REVENUE STREAM $14.5 B $6.5B 44.8% FUNDING GAP $23.9 B $20.6 B 86.2% MVST CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT The Constitutional Amendment on the November 2006 General Election ballot proposes to dedicate 100% of the Motor Vehicle Sales Tax revenues to transportation purposes compared to the current 54% dedication in state law. If approved in November, the transfer will be phased in over a five year period, giving the Legislature time to adjust the General Fund Budget. MnlDOT estimates that the new revenue to the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund (HUTDF) would grow from $37.5 M in 2008 to $187.3 M in 2012 and each year there after. The portion going to the state trunk highway system would increase from $22.1 M to $110.3 M in 2012. This represents 10.6% of the estimated annual statewide funding gap for trunk highways and 5.5% of the Metro gap at current distribution rates. The Amendment provides that at least 40% of the transferred funds would be dedicated to public transit uses, mostly in the Metropolitan Area. At this rate transit funding would increase from $22.5 M in 2008 to $122.1 M in 2012 and each year beyond. For comparison, the Metropolitan Council has estimated that the capital costs to add transit ways and increase bus use for just the Tier I routes in their 2030 Transportation Policy Plan by 2020 are $665M - $1.2458 plus an additional $22 M for operating costs each year. In summary, the MVST transfer would provide approximately $1.33 8 in new transit revenues through 2020, about enough to implement the proposed Tier I transit services. MnlDOT assumed that the Tier I and Tier II services will be in place when they prepared their 2030 forecasts noted above. OTHER MVST FACTOIDS · Minnesota cities would share $3.2 M in additional MVST funds in 2008 for MSA streets · Minnesota cities would share $16.1 M in additional MVST funds in 2012 and beyond. · NMMA area cities would share about $4.5 M in MVST funds in 2012 for MSA streets · Minneapolis would receive about $1.9 M in additional MVST funds in 2012. · Minnesota cities are responsible for more lane miles of city streets (31.608 miles) not eligible for MSA funding than MnlDOT has on the state freeway and highway system (29,024 miles).

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: Jim Dickinson, City Administrator SUBJECT: Follow Up Information DATE: August 29, 2006 At the August 22nd Council workshop, there was a request by the Council to have more information distributed on the Motor Vehicle Sales Tax (MVST) Constitutional Amendment that will be on the November ih ballot. I have attached a North Metro Mayors Association document that should assist each Councilmember. If you would like additional information, do not hesitate in contacting me. NMMA Transportation Policy Position: TRANSPORTATION BACKGROUND: The 2005 Legislature adopted a transportation funding bill that would have provided significant increases in funding for roads, highways and transit services in Minnesota. The 2006 Legislature again considered funding increases but failed to reach consensus in the Conference Committee. Consequently, the only immediate opportunity to increase funds for roads, highways and transit services is support for the adoption of the Motor Vehicle Sales Tax (MVST) Constitutional Amendment that will be on the November 7 ballot. The NMMA Board Members are hopeful that candidates for Governor and the Legislature will address the escalating transportation funding gap during the General Election campaign process and then follow through during the 2007 Session. The gas tax, or, "fuel user fee", has not changed from the current rate of 20 cents per gallon since fall of 1988 when gas sold at an average of about $1.00 per gallon. If the same rate of tax as a percent of purchase price, 20.0%, prevailed at today's price of about $3.00 per gallon, the fuel user fee would be 60 cents, or a 200% increase that would generate an additional $1.3 Billion per year to repair and improve Minnesota's deteriorating transportation infrastructure and level of service. CURRENT POLICY POSITION: The NMMA Board of Directors recommends that the Governor and Legislature collaborate in the development and passage of a transportation funding package early in the 2007 Session so as to avoid late session failure to reach agreement. Agreement is urgently needed to address needs of city and county roads as well as the state roads that they supplement. Further, a long term financing strategy for transit infrastructure and services is needed to meet mobility needs of our work force, handicapped travelers and increasing numbers of senior citizens. Towards this end, the NMMA offers the fOllowing documents as resources and a framework for debate: · "Transportation Principles" that should guide decision making, including, o Reliance on increased user fees o Provide certainty of funding o Prudent Fiscal Management · "Principles Commentary" that provides additional ideas for consideration and rationale for recommended actions, · "Transportation Fact Sheet" documenting the severity of the trunk highway system funding gap based on 2005 estimates that predate recent annual increases in highway construction costs due to inflation, · A "Conceptual Funding Plan" offering a mix of fund sources for consideration that can serve as a menu of choices and framework for analysis and debate on the options available.

NORTH METRO MAYORS ASSOCIATION TRANSPORTATION PRINCIPLES FOR CONSIDERATION BY CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE-2006 ELECTION CAMPAIGNS OVERVIEW The North Metro Mayors Association members believe that significant new revenues are needed for Minnesota's transportation system. We have fallen behind prudent investment schedules and are suffering safety, congestion, economic and quality of life impacts as a result. Our future well being demands that we invest now to enhance our future ability to sustain our growing population and our economic base that provides jobs and wealth to us all. The problems created by chronic underinvestment in transportation are well known and have been well documented in reports and media coverage. There were serious proposals under consideration in the 2005 Legislature from the Governor, the Association of Minnesota Counties, the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, the Minnesota Transportation Alliance and individual Legislators. These organizations and leaders should be congratulated for their efforts that raised awareness of the need for significant new funding and for providing specific solutions to the funding dilemma. Unfortunately, the funding bill agreed to by the Legislature did not meet with the Governor's approval. In the end, the 2006 Legislature failed to. reach agreement on transportation funding. Our challenge now is to craft a plan that can receive bipartisan support in the Legislature as well as the concurrence of the Governor in the 2007 Session. Toward that end, the NMMA puts forth for consideration the attached PRINCIPLES that should guide the crafting of the increased transportation funding legislation.

We believe that the best source of that new revenue should be the users of the system. Resolving all of the policy issues that complicate this debate at one time is a daunting task. Purity in purpose may not be achievable in the immediate future, but we should debate the options with fundamental Principles as a basis for conversation. We suggest that three Principles should form the basis of beginning that conversation: 1. RELIANCE ON INCREASED USER FEES 2. CERTAINTY OF FUNDING 3. PRUDENT FISCAL MANAGEMENT RELIANCE ON INCREASED USER FEES TO FUND HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS: · CONTRIBUTION PROPORTIONAL TO BURDEN IMPOSED We believe that it is fair and appropriate that users of the transportation system pay for the burdens that they impose on society and other users. To suggest otherwise is to argue for cross subsidization of one user to another. It is not always clear what constitutes a 'fair' fee contribution, and society as a whole benefits from an efficient transportation system. For example, each citizen benefits from lower priced, higher quality foods derived from use of an efficient road system whether they use the road personally or not. Likewise, there is societal value in providing effective transit services for people without auto availability . In considering how to balance costs and burdens imposed, it is convenient to think in terms of other 'utility' systems. In public water supply utility terms, there are two basic cost factors: 1) Water Opportunity Costs, and, 2) Water Use Costs The Opportunity Cost is a fixed cost that ensures that the pumps and pipes are in place and water is available when a user needs it. The Use Cost is a variable cost that is determined by how much water is used. One option to consider for highway user fees would suggest that vehicle registration and MVST revenues should cover the availability cost while fuel user fees should cover the variable operating costs. Given the difficulty in calculating costs and burdens, immediate action is recommended to gradually increase vehicle registration fees, fuel user fees as well as 100% dedication of MVST revenues. Further, the Legislature should review the costs of transportation system construction and operation to determine if a different mix of revenue sources is appropriate. · TRANSPARENCY OF RELATIONSHIP We believe that the majority of consumers are willing to pay a fair fee for their use of a service as long as there is a clear relationship between use cost paid. The use of "Opt-In Tolling" on 1-394 is a clear example of direct linkage of payment to user choices made. However, for most motorists, use of credit cards for payments for fuel at the pump insulates the user from direct cost impact of driving both by delaying the cash transfer and by mixing the fuel cost with other card based purchases. Most road users understand that fuel use is a measure actual miles driven. Perhaps not surprisingly, many do not know that fuel user fee revenues are constitutionally dedicated to "highway purposes". Further, there is some qualification as to what is deemed a highway purpose. The Governor and MnlDOT should lead efforts to clarify fund source and use information. Future transportation user fee increases should be accompanied by a clear statement of what the funds will be used for and how and why the choice of rates and sources was made. · GENERATIONAL EQUITY We believe that the transportation system should be funded on a "Pay as You Go" basis with restrained use of borrowing. An entire generation of new drivers in Minnesota has not experienced a user fee rate increase. In real dollar terms they are paying only about 60% of the fuel user fee set in 1988. Real reductions were made in vehicle registration fees in 2000. In other words, current users are not paying at a rate that should have been adjusted incrementally over the past 18 years just to keep the buying power constant. To a degree, borrowing funds via bonding to pay for current investments is a wise choice if the benefits gained and costs avoided by advancing projects out weigh the costs of the loan. To the extent that bonding is used to catch up to deferred costs, future users are being asked to pay for costs that were passed on from one generation of users to another. We also need to consider policy options such as: 'What is an appropriate level of debt service that we can justify for bonding without losing future generations' choice flexibility"? Given the amount of past use of bonding for highway improvements, we suggest that future borrowing costs should be paid by directly increasing current user fees to cover the debt payment. Further, the Legislature should establish a highway bonding limit policy, comparable to limits on General Fund bonding, so that future bonding program decisions can be made more rationally and without the political rancor that has been evident in recent debates. CERTAINTY OF FUNDING FOR TRANSIT & HIGHWAYS: The current shortage of funds for highways and transit investments has created an unsustainable program delivery challenge. Use of available funds to preserve what has been built is a necessary choice but it leaves little hope for those looking at unmet needs to improve the system. Consequently, there are increasing efforts to go "around the system" to influence priorities and schedules. Expanding project scope and cost inflation is a frequent issue but should be anticipated. Frequently problems are not identified until more intensive design 2 work or site exploration has occurred just due to the nature of the planning and design process. Delays and changed conditions mean that anticipated improvements may not arrive when planned. As our funding gap has deepened, costs of steel and concrete have escalated, further exacerbating the problem. Communities and businesses follow a tortured path without certainty that funds will be available for implementation, further complicating the best public involvement process and creating lack of trust needed to succeed. A more dependable funding stream must be assured to provide credibility in the project development process. In order for streamlining efforts to effectively reduce the overburden of unnecessary tasks and processes, more work is needed earlier in the project definition stage. In order for that earlier work to occur, adequate resources and staff expertise must be maintained to drive the process. The result will be fewer. surprises found later in the process. In short, our programming process should maximize the match of expectations for improvements with the certainty of delivery. · LEGISLATIVE ACTION V5. REFERENDA REQUIREMENTS In our representative form of government we elect office holders to make decisions on our behalf. We elect people that we trust will make good decisions. We are obligated to share opinions and information on choices to be made with those representatives, recognizing the complexity of the decision. If trust is not sustained, we have opportunities in future elections to change our choice of representative. In addition to this consideration, submitting needed funding increases to a referendum adds uncertainty and delay to the delivery of improvements. Deferring increases in funding until after a November ballot risks: a. Rejection of needed revenue increases and lost investment opportunities b. More years of inflation costs added to projects ready to go. c. More years delay in the receipt of benefits in safety, congestion and environmental impact gained from improvements. · TRANSFER OF MOTOR VEHICLE SALES TAX REVENUE FROM THE GENERAL FUND Legislative action to transfer 100% of the share of MVST funds currently retained in the General Fund is recommended for approval on November 7,2006. This transfer is appropriate in that: a. The action would provide some certain funds immediately on a secure schedule. b. The MVST revenues can be considered transportation user fees that most payers assume are for that purpose c. If the Legislature and Governor believe that a Constitutional Amendment is needed to avoid 'raiding' by a future Legislature, the issue can be left on the 2006 ballot for ratification of the 2006 Session decision. It is appropriate to note that if the MVST transfer is approved, the transportation funding problem will not be solved. The new revenue available to Mn/DOT will 3 only fill about 5% of the funding gap in the Metro area trunk highway system. More steps must follow in the 2007 Session. · RELIANCE ON UNCERTAIN FEDERAL FUNDING Congress was many months late in passing SAFETEA-LU, the latest federal funding reauthorization bill for transportation. Minnesota lost over $150 Million in federal revenues due to the lateness of the new bill. Appropriations will apparently be only 85% of the authorized funding levels and earmarking has complicated the matching with state funds. It is apparent that there will not be significant increases in future federal user fees to help fill our funding gap. Consequently, future programming should be supported by a strong state fund commitment sufficient to meet basic operating and construction program needs. Federal funds should be used to accelerate critical projects in the base program. · MINIMAL RELIANCE ON UNCERTAIN PRIVATE FUNDING Mn!DOT's MnPASS Study results indicate that there are no potential tolling projects in the Twin Cities area that will generate sufficient revenues to justify 100% private sector financing. Indications are that the most encouraging project would generate only 25% of the revenues needed to cash flow. The remaining funds would have to come from the public sector. How those funds would be sourced is uncertain. How many and when funds would be needed is unknown at this time. We suggest that we not rely on those funds to influence our choices today. Rather, we should continue to seek opportunities in the future and consider those projects when they are found viable. · ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE 'EFFICIENCIES' THAT CAN YIELD FUNDS FOR NEW PROJECTS The Pawlenty Administration has made significant reductions in the Mn/DOT administrative and management ranks over the past biennium. Additional cuts are anticipated in the 2007-2008 Budget to be submitted to the Legislature in January. Streamlining actions have been taken along with design! build and other management strategies to reduce overhead costs. The results of these actions are positive. These savings are not reflected in national statistics that were used in 2005 to suggest greater efficiencies can result in transfer of revenues to construction projects. However, we need to be certain that we maintain the level of professional expertise needed to develop and deliver the program that we ask for. We must maintain the infrastructure already in place. We suggest that the Legislature ask that a 'Peer Review" of Mn!DOT operations, budgets and policies by respected transportation professionals be conducted to ensure that organizational capacity is maintained at the appropriate level for future program delivery. It might also be of value to review the structural organization of highway and transit service planning and delivery in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Do we need seven Regional Rail Authorities in addition to the Metropolitan Council? Should the 'Twin Cities' transportation planning area be extended beyond the 8 County Mn/DOT Metro District boundaries? Are the highest priority projects being scheduled for funding on a statewide basis? 4 We suggest that these questions. deserve consideration. In the mean time, we should not bank our future on additional savings until we conduct an audit of costs and benefits that could be achieved and the legislative and administrative actions that must be made to enable those changes to occur. PRUDENT FISCAL MANAGEMENT: "PAY AS YOU GO" Mn/DOT has estimated that the gap in funding needed to meet established performance standards through the year 2030 is $24 Billion statewide, with a shortage of $21 Billion in the Metro Area. We should not respond to this challenge simply and by only raising new revenues immediately. We need to take a more thoughtful view of how much of the gap needs to be filled and how quickly to generate the most effective return on our increased investment · PHASE IN REVENUE INCREASES The delivery of highway and transitway projects is a long and complicated process. Public involvement and environmental analyses are crucial parts of the process. Greatly accelerating implementation of critical projects must not come at the full cost of abandoning these commitments. While there are several Mn/DOT projects in "Advanced Design" stages almost ready to go, is it is possible to ramp up to a full flow of recommended new funding immediately? Is our construction industry able to gear up quickly after recent hard times? How soon can priority projects be brought on line and what investments in planning and project development are needed to get there. We also are concerned that key transit system additions to the Hiawatha Line are controversial and not fully designed. These concerns suggest we need to more accurately determine how much new funding is needed in the next few years while accounting for likely cost inflation and scope adjustment that are inevitable to accommodate community needs and to avoid unwise 'corner cutting'. . PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR HIGH PRIORITY MEGA PROJECTS The lack. of adequate funds for highways and capital investments in transit has not been fully met by recent bonding and advanced federal fund use. There are several critical bottleneck, beltway and Inter Regional Corridor projects remaining in the near term 'mega project' category. These projects require large amounts of money over short periods of time. Funding these projects from the regular program would leave very few smaller projects funded for the foreseeable future. Judicious use of bonding, as suggested above, removes these projects from the programming process and removes major headaches from the system operation. . PROVIDE EARLY NEW FUNDING FOR TRANSIT, CITIES AND COUNTIES The Metro Council has identified a system of transit ways that should be built by 2030 to meet future mobility needs. Mn/DOT has assumed that these transit services would be available when making their need forecasts. Reliance on bonding for the state program has not providing increased funding for city and county roads needed to supplement the state arterials. In fact, funding problems at Mn/DOT have led to increased demands for city and county contributions to project costs. As new funding is brought online, emphasis should be placed on addressing the funding needs of transit providers, cities and counties. U:INMMA\2006 Session\TransportationlNMMA PRINCIPLES Commentary 2007.doc 5 NMMA TRANSPORTATION FACT SHEET UNMET NEEDS - 2008-2030 MnlDOT developed performance standards for the Minnesota Trunk Highway System and analyzed the current status of each route. Based on their review, the current funding stream was found to be significantly deficient in meeting needs for improvements. Moreover, a significant portion' of the anticipated unmet funding needs, based on current fund distribution policies, was derived from Metropolitan Area roadways. The following table summarizes Mn/DOT's findings. The 'Funding Gap' equals $1.048 per year on average ($23.9B 123 years). This estimate does not include funding shortfalls for transit or for City, Township and County roads needed to complement Mi t I h. h t nneso a s Ilgl way sys em. STATEWIDE METRO METRO SHARE FUND NEEDS 2008-2030 $38.1 B $27 B 70.9% CURRENT REVENUE STREAM $14.5 B $6.5 B 44.8% FUNDING GAP $23.9 B $20.6 B 86.2% MVST CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT The Constitutional Amendment on the November 2006 General Election ballot proposes to dedicate 100% of the Motor Vehicle Sales Tax revenues to transportation purposes compared to the current 54% dedication in state law. If approved in November, the transfer will be phased in over a five year period, giving the Legislature time to adjust the General Fund Budget. Mn/DOT estimates that the new revenue to the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund (HUTDF) would grow from $37.5 M in 2008 to $187.3 M in 2012 and each year there after. The portion going to the state trunk highway system would increase from $22.1 M to $110.3 M in 2012. This represents 10.6% of the estimated annual statewide funding gap for trunk highways and 5.5% of the Metro gap at current distribution rates. The Amendment provides that at least 40% of the transferred funds would be dedicated to public transit uses, mostly in the Metropolitan Area. At this rate transit funding would increase from $22.5 M in 2008 to $122.1 M in 2012 and each year beyond. For comparison, the Metropolitan Council has estimated that the capital costs to add transit ways and increase bus use for just the Tier I routes in their 2030 Transportation Policy Plan by 2020 are $665M - $1.2458 plus an additional $22 M for operating costs each year. In summary, the MVST transfer would provide approximately $1.33 8 in new transit revenues through 2020, about enough to implement the proposed Tier I transit services. Mn/DOT assumed that the Tier I and Tier II services will be in place when they prepared their 2030 forecasts noted above. OTHER MVST FACTOIDS · Minnesota cities would share $3.2 M in additional MVST funds in 2008 for MSA streets · Minnesota cities would share $16.1 M in additional MVST funds in 2012 and beyond. · NMMA area cities would share about $4.5 M in MVST funds in 2012 for MSA streets · Minneapolis would receive about $1.9 M in additional MVST funds in 2012. · Minnesota cities are responsible for more lane miles of city streets (31.608 miles) not eligible for MSA funding than MnlDOT has on the state freeway and highway system (29,024 miles).
