PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Conduct a public hearing to receive comments regarding the County Manager’s Recommended 2022-2026 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 its first year will be consistent with the County’s 2022 Adopted CIP Budget.
The General Government and Policy Committee of the Whole reviewed the 2022-2026 County Manager’s Recommended CIP Budget on September 7, 2021; and by Resolution No. 21-464 (September 21, 2021), the County Board authorized staff to submit the draft CIP budget to cities and townships for final review. Dakota County sent a letter to the cities and townships requesting their comments by October 29, 2021. Comments that were received and the County’s responses to those comments are included in the Attachment: 2022-2026 CIP Comments and Responses Summary. In addition, the County Board held a budget workshop on the draft CIP on November 3, 2021.
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. 20-510 (October 20, 2020) and was advertised on November 12 and November 19, 2021, in the Dakota County Tribune and on the County’s Website.
