(612) 755-5100 SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING - MARCH 18, 1997 MI1TUTES A Special Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Jack McKelvey on March 18, 1997. 6:25 p.m.. at Oak View Middle School, 15400 Hanson Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmembers present: Dehn (arrived at 6:33 p.m.), Knight, Kunza Councilmember absent: Orttel Also present: Public Works Superintendent Frank Stone City Engineer Scott Erickson Others FINANCING OF STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Mr. Erickson presented options to finance the needed street reconstruction projects in the City. The Road Committee had discussed assessing the cost to the property owners, funding through the General Fund or a combination of the two. The Committee asked Staff to look at financing through the General Fund. Mr. Erickson reviewed a proposal to finance those projects with a one percent general fund levy increase for each year for either three, five or seven years plus capture seven percent of the tax capacity for increased valuation in the City. A three-year program would generate about $611,000; a five-year program would generate about $1.1 million and a seven-year program about $1.6 million. About $200,000 has been allocated for street reconstruction for 1997 from the PIR fund. (Councilmember Dehn arrived at this time, 6:33 p.m.) The Council looked at other variations, including a one percent tax increase with one-percent of the tax capacity for increased valuation. All acknowledged the need to be more aggressive in street maintenance. It was also noted that if TIF monies are generated from the sale of properties in the industrial area, that money can also be earmarked for these projects within the TIF district. . After further discussion, the Council generally agreed to a progralY, financed by a one percent tax levy and capturing one percent of the tax capacity for increased valuation for at least a five-year period. They cautioned, however, that it will also mean that other departments within the City will have less increases for awhile until this program is established. Mr. Erickson stated he will finalize a program for Council consideration. Staff was also asked to look at the possibility of improving the remaining unpaved roads in the City. MOTION by Kunza, Seconded by Dehn, to adjourn. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, 1-Absent (Orttel) vote. The meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m. ê Y\r\~'subm~~ \ ¡\.¡a~lla A. t ~ Recordi.ng' Secretary .. . . ~ . n CITY of ANDOVER 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. . ANDOVER. MINNESOTA 55304 .
