SUBJECT: 1997-2001 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
With this letter, i respectfully submit the 1997-2001 Capital
Improvement Plan. This five-year planning document represents the
combined efforts of city staff, advisory commissions, citizens,
and the City Council.
The Capital Improvement Plan is a five-year forecast of project
needs in the City of Hopkins. It is intended to alert the Council
and citizens to the major capital needs on the horizon. The first
year of the plan becomes an adopted capital budget and relates
almost completely to the operating budget which is approved on a
yearly basis. The remaining four years represent an estimate of
project needs and funding capabilities of the city. In previous
plans an explanation of five-year equipment needs was also
included. This year's plan does not include proposed equipment
purchases. A document relating specifically to equipment
replacement needs has been developed into a separate document.
The Capital Improvement Plan is intended to serve as a planning
tool and is therefore structured to present a meaningful,
long-range perspective of the city's capital programming needs.
At the same time, sufficient project detail is provided to enable
those who review the information to make informed decisions on the
programming of projects over the next several years.
Please use the information provided to formulate plans, projects,
and questions. The Capital Improvement Plan can serve the
community best by provoking thoughts and actions.
This document was developed by the City Manager's Office with the
assistance of all city departments.
I wish to thank all those involved in the development of the
Capital Improvement Plan, and especially Steve Stadler, Public
Works Director; Jim Gessele, Engineering Supervisor; Jim Kerrigan,
Planning and Economic Development Director; John Schedler, Finance
Director; Nancy Anderson, Planner; and Bish Johnson,
Administrative Assistant, for their hard work and dedication.

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The Capital Improvement Plan is a flexible plan based upon
long-range physical planning and financial projections, which
schedules the major public improvements that may be incurred by
the City over the next five years. Flexibility of the Capital
Improvement Plan is established through annual review, and
revision if necessary. The annual review assures that the program
will become a continuing part of the budgetary process and that it
will be consistent with changing demands as well as changing
patterns in cost and financial resources. Funds are appropriated
only for the first year of the program, which is then included in
the annual budget.
The Capital Improvement Plan serves as a tool for implementing
certain aspects of the City's comprehensive plan, therefore, the
program describes the overall objectives of City development, the
relationship between projects with respect to timing and need, and
the City's fiscal capabilities.
The Capital Improvement Plan can help assure:
1. A systematic approach to planning and initiating capital
projects affording the opportunity to plan the location,
timing, and financing of needed public improvements;
2 . The development of a realistic program of capital spending
within the City's projected fiscal capability to finance such
projects, avoiding sharp change in the tax levy or bonded
indebtedness;
3 . The coordination of public and private improvement projects
permitting adequate time for design and engineering to
eliminate duplication of effort and expense;
4 . The expenditure of public funds that are compatible with the
City' s adopted Comprehensive Plan;
5. That the public is kept informed of the proposed future
projects and expenditures;
6. That private investors are aware of the City's long-range
development program so that they may guide their development
in a way that is compatible with the City's program;
7. Aid in achieving federal and/or state participation by
providing the necessary planning and lead time necessary for a
successful application in addition to meeting prerequisites
needed for certain federal and state grants.

CIP SOURCES OF FUNDING
In order to fund the anticipated Capital Improvements, the City
must draw upon a variety of sources. Many of these sources have a
specific or "dedicated" purpose (i.e. , the water utility fund will
finance water main installation but not a street overlay) .
Therefore, it is important to identify the uses and limitations of
the various revenue sources.
CURRENT REVENUES - GENERAL FUND (C.R.)
This represents funding from current year revenue collections in
the General Fund which support operations and capital outlay
expenditures. Revenue sources include property tax levies, state
aid payments, and various permit and license fees. This source of
funding is generally used only for operations and small capital
purchases.
GENERAL FUND RESERVES (G.R. )
Reserves of the general fund are the funds remaining after
subtracting cash flow and emergency amounts from the City's cash
balance, sometimes referred to as "fund balance" . The use of
General Fund Reserves is not recommended for Capital Improvements
without significant staff and Council review.
CABLE TELEVISION FUND (C.T. )
This funding source consists of franchise fees received from
Paragon Cable TV, in excess of the amounts earmarked for the
access programming and commission budgets. Expenditures are
limited to cable-related facilities, or must have a cable related
purpose.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND (E.D. )
This funding source was established by the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and the City of Hopkins, to provide
funding for the purpose of promoting development and redevelopment
within the City. The Economic Development fund is a revolving
fund administered by the HRA, intended to provide an ongoing
funding source used to reduce or extend the long term debt
involved with development and redevelopment activities. The HRA
reviews all proposed uses of this fund on an individual basis.
13
REAL ESTATE SALES FUND (R.E. )
This funding source consists primarily of funds built up from the
sale of city owned property. To date, the fund has been used for
building improvements. Because the sale of both general City
property and park/recreation property are accumulated into this
fund, earmarking a portion for recreational purposes may be
justified.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT (S.A.)
A number of projects may be realistically financed using Special
Assessment to pay the ultimate cost. Almost any project can
potentially be financed using the assessment process. In each
case it is necessary to make a determination that the assessed
property will benefit by the amount of the assessment.
The cost of street reconstruction is shared 70% by the property
owner and 30% by the City. Concurrent improvement costs to the
utility systems are assumed by the respective utility funds.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (T.F. )
This funding source results from the tax value of new development
that is "incrementally" greater than the existing tax value.
Typically, bonds are sold based on the assumption that the higher
tax receipts will retire the bonds. However, the use of TIF funds
through a "pay as you go" method has become more common. This
type of funding can be used for public improvements within a
redevelopment district to support the goals of redevelopment,
specifically the elimination of blighted conditions. Approval of
the Hopkins HRA should be anticipated prior to the commitment of
these funds. The use of these funds are strictly regulated by
State law.
SANITARY SEWER FUNDS (S.F. )
Sanitary sewer funds consist of revenue generated from charges
made for sewage disposal. The cost of operations plus system
(capital) improvements determine the ultimate charge levied for
the service provided.
WATER FUNDS (W.F. )
Water funds consist of revenue generated from the sale of water.
The cost of operations plus system (capital) improvements
determine the ultimate charge levied for the service provided.

need to be rehabilitated in conjunction with street reconstruction. The numbers assume
the City funding 100% of major storm sewer, water main, and sanitary sewer construction/
reconstruction. These costs are to be used in conjunction with street reconstruction
costs shown on ST-1.
CURRENT STATUS/PROJECTED SCHEDULE:
