end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Conduct a public hearing to receive comments regarding the County Manager’s Recommended 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget.
SUMMARY
The Dakota County CIP forecasts priorities and budgets for the capital needs of the County for the next five years. The CIP document is a planning tool, but expenditures presented in the first year will be consistent with the County’s 2025 Adopted CIP Budget.
By Resolution No. 24-480 (September 24, 2024), the County Board authorized staff to submit the draft CIP to cities and townships for comments. Dakota County sent a letter to the cities and townships requesting their comments by November 15, 2024. Comments on those letters are included in Attachment: 2025-2029 CIP Comments and Responses Summary. In addition, the County Board reviewed the draft 2025-2029 CIP on November 19, 2024, at the Physical Development Committee Meeting.
Minn. Stat. § 373.40, subd. 3, requires the County to conduct a public hearing prior to the adoption of the County Manager’s Recommended CIP. The CIP Public Hearing was scheduled by Resolution No. 23-497 (October 24, 2023) and was advertised on November 14 and November 21, 2024, in the Hastings Journal and the County’s Website.
