PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Conduct a public hearing to receive comments regarding the County Manager’s Recommended 2023-2027 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 2023 Adopted CIP Budget.
Staff provided an overview of the 2023-2027 Draft CIP to the General Government and Policy (GGP) Committee of the Whole on October 4, 2022, and provided additional information at the October 11, 2022, Physical Development Committee (PDC) meeting. By Resolution No. 22-451 (October 18, 2022), the County Board authorized staff to submit the draft CIP to cities and townships for comment. Dakota County sent a letter to the cities and townships requesting their comments by November 18, 2022. Comments that were received to those letters are included in the attachment 2023-2027 CIP Comments and Responses Summary. In addition, the County Board held a budget workshop on the draft CIP on November 17, 2022.
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. 22-368 (September 6, 2022) and was advertised on November 11 and November 18, 2022, in the Dakota County Tribune and on the County’s Website.
