SHAKOPEE
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Jamie Polley, Parks, Recreation&Natural Resources Director
DATE: 12/02/2014
SUBJECT: Consultant Recommendations for Athletic Facilities and Improvements to the
Community Center(A)
Action Sought
The City Council is asked to approve the hiring of consultants to perform feasibility, financial and
architectural studies for proposed athletic facilities and improvements to the Community
Center, and direct the appropriate staff to enter into a contract with each consultant.
Background
On November 18, 2014 the City Council directed staff to hire consultants to perform financial,
feasibility and architectural studies for athletic facilities and improvements to the Community
Center with a budget up to $75,000. It also directed that options for up to $25 million in
City-provided funding be presented.
The components to be included in the scope of the feasibility study for the Community Center are:
1. 2nd Sheet of Ice
2. Turf Sports Dome or Field House
3. Enhanced Fitness Center
4. Indoor/Outdoor Aquatic Center
5. Indoor Playground
6. Flow of the building with additions
The City Council also directed staff to complete the feasibility studies as soon as possible, but to
take the time to do it correctly. A firm date was not set; however, it was the desire of a majority
of the Council to have the results presented to them in March or April of 2015.
Discussion
To complete the study of the proposed improvements thoroughly, staff feels that a consultant
specializing in recreational amenities and planning, and an architectural consultant should be
retained as was done in 2010. The recreational planning consultant would determine the need for
each component, as well as the projected operational costs and potential revenues. The
architectural consultant would provide a conceptual design of the facilities based on the needs
determined by the recreational planning consultant, estimate the capital cost of each component,
and assist the operational planning consultant with operating costs specific to the mechanical
systems of each component.
Staff did three telephone interviews of consultants specializing in recreation planning and
feasibilities studies. The three firms provided the City with proposals; based on the proposal,
experience specific to the amenities sought, experience in Minnesota, and the proposed fee, staff
is recommending Ballard*King and Associates, of Highlands Ranch, Colorado. It should be
noted that Ballard*King also completed a feasibility study for the City in 2004, as part of the 2005
Community Center Improvements referendum.
The architectural firm selection was challenging due to having both an ice and aquatics
components. Staff sought an architectural firm with extensive experience in both components.
The City received two proposals. Both firms have the experience with ice and aquatics, both are
reputable firms based in the Twin Cities area and both firms have worked very closely with the
recommended recreational planning consultant, Ballard*King. Staff is recommending the
architectural firm of 292 Design Group, of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
As part of the architectural study the firm will be asked to also look at the condition of the current
Ice Arena, determine if more than two sheets could be constructed on the Community Center
campus, and what the cost of two new sheets in a different location would be with the ability to
expand that facility in the future.
Staff is recommending the City's regular financial consultant, Springsted, Inc., be used to provide
funding options.
Social/Cultural
Staff recommends directing that a Request for Proposals be drafted to solicit proposals for a
consultant who would do a programming analysis of needs for the various social and cultural
users. These programming needs would be part of a Phase 1. Potentially, a later study could
examine possibilities for housing these tenants.
Budget Impact
The amount allocated to hire consultants to perform financial, feasibility and architectural studies
for athletic facilities and improvements to the Community Center was $75,000. The total cost to
retain Ballard*King ($18,500) and 292 Group ($22,500) totals $41,000 with an additional cost of
$8,500 if the City desires color renderings and building image designs. Work related to
Springsted, Inc will be related to debt issuance or the need for an expanded fee study. These costs
will be reflected in the future if these projects are undertaken. In addition, the total cost to conduct
the programming analysis of needs for the social/cultural portion of the project will be determined
with the solicitation of Request for Proposals.
Relationship to Vision
A. Keep Shakopee a safe and healthy community where residents can pursue active and quality
lifestyles.
Requested Action
The City Council, if concur, move to approve the following recommendations:
1. Hire Ballard*King and Associates to perform a feasibility, planning, and operations study of
the athletics facilities and improvements to the Community Center;
2. Hire the Architectural Consultant of 292 Design Group to complete the feasibility and
architectural studies for said improvements;
3. Hire Springsted, Inc. to determine funding options for the City portion of the projects'
financing;
4. Direct staff to enter into contracts for the above; and
5. Direct staff to issue RFP's for programming analysis of cultural and social facility needs.

Feasibility Study for Proposed Shakopee
Arts, Culture and Social Service Center
PHASE 1
A consultant (with or without architectural expertise)would be hired to meet directly with a wide
variety of potential stakeholders and partners and present back to the City, in an organized and easy-to-
understand report:
1. A comprehensive list of groups and organizations in the community that are in need of physical
space and interested in potentially partnering with the City on this project.
2. An analysis of the space needs and wants of each of those groups or organizations;to include
the amount of space,type of space, access and security needs, etc.
3. An analysis of the financial resources or potential resources that the identified partners could
likely bring to the project.
The consultant would also be tasked with researching other arts, culture and social service centers in
Minnesota that are municipally owned or operated, in whole or part. Are there models out there that
we can borrow from? Lessons to be learned from those that have gone before us?
PHASE 2
What portion of the identified needs can be accommodated within the Central Family building? What
remodeling would be needed up front? In the future?At what cost? Are there other existing buildings
in town that could be repurposed for this use that would better match the identified needs or do so at a
lower cost?
This phase will require the contracting of an architect, if not already done in phase 1.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Julie Linnihan, Finance Director
City of Shakopee, Minnesota
FROM: Paul Steinman, Vice President
DATE: November 26, 2014
SUBJECT: Role of Municipal Advisor in Analyzing Community Facility Needs
At your request this memo will help to address Springsted's role as Municipal Advisor as Shakopee processes its
community facility needs.
In most cases the role of the Municipal Advisor early on is to interface with other consultants, i.e. architects,engineers,
etc.as they take the initial steps to assess your facility needs,help discuss site selection for various different uses, and
produce conceptual plans and preliminary costing. Springsted would be providing information as requested to assist
the other consultants during the initial phases of this process.
As long as the fundamental (statutory) questions about financing have been addressed, it isn't until much later in a
public process such as this that your Municipal Advisor will typically be taking an active role. The fundamental questions
facing communities as they consider the overall facility and community investment project include:
• How do we pay for the facilities we are considering building?
o Capital
o Operational
• Does the City use existing funds or debt?
• Can the City develop new fees or charges to offset the capital and operational costs of the facilities?
• What is the impact of these different approaches on the taxpayers?
o Using existing funds for facilities may impact what was originally intended for the use of such
funds.
o New debt will likely have a levy impact.
• What is an acceptable impact and how might the impact be minimized?
• Can future growth and increased market value be expected to minimize taxpayer
impact, and to what degree?
• How do other stakeholders buy in to the projects, and to what realistic degree can they participate?
o School
o County
o Hockey Association
o Other organizations

The following options have been used in similar facility financing in Minnesota in a number of different communities:
• Cash from existing City funds
• Referendum bonds(vote required)
• EDA Lease revenue bonds(does EDA structure allow this option?)
o General Obligation—least cost financing
o Without General Obligation—higher cost(interest rate)financing
• Tax abatement bonds—can be issued without a referendum
o Impact to taxpayer is identical to referendum bonds
o Tax levy is the only source of repayment
• New revenues?
o Cost Recovery Fee study
• Utilities are charged a fee based upon the City's cost of allowing the utilities to operate
within the public right of way.
What is being proposed does not at this stage appear to be outside the use of any, or a combination, of the financing
options above. As we move forward in this process,we can provide additional information with regard to any of these
options.
Other than the Cost Recovery Fee study,Springsted's fee for services related to a potential financing would be included
in the issuance cost of bonds. There may be a fee associated with work to the extent that it does not result in the
issuance of bonds but an estimate is not possible to define at this point in the process.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
DATE: 12/02/2014
SUBJECT: City-wide Telephone Survey
Introduction
At it's meeting on December 2nd, the City Council should discuss the questions for a City-wide
telephone survey to gauge attitude and opinions about City services. This will be done in a
workshop setting.
Background
On September 2nd, the City Council approved the hiring of the Morris Leatherman Company to
perform a City-wide telephone survey of residents. The intent is to gauge overall perceptions
about a variety of topics. Background information is contained, as well as a draft of questions
that relate to Shakopee.
Peter Leatherman of the company will be in attendance, and will lead the discussion of which the
questions, and which to add and which to omit. He will also talk about the timing of when the
actual survey will be performed, and when results will be ready for the City.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill,City Administrator
DATE: 09/02/2014
SUBJECT: City-wide Survey Discussion
Action Sought
For the Council to give direction to staff to hire the Morris Leatherman Company to perform a City-wide telephone
residential survey regarding municipal services.
Background
One of the directives that was given to the City Administrator for 2014 was to"establish and monitor measurable
goals for each City department."
While components of that can be done for individual departments,to establish an overall residents' perception of
municipal service levels, it is recommended that a City-wide survey be undertaken. From a performance
measurement standpoint,it would establish a"baseline"from which to work to improve the view of the levels of
service from the City.
The Morris Leatherman Company(M-L)is well-known in the Twin Cities area for performing statistically-valid
telephone surveys on behalf of city governments and school districts. Area entities that have used M-L include the
Cities of Prior Lake, Savage,Minnetonka,Burnsville,Eden Prairie,Eagan,Lakeville,and Chaska. The company
has also done surveys for the Farmington and Shakopee School Districts. It performed a survey for Shakopee
regarding the Community Center in the late-1990's.
The representative from M-L stated that regularly-scheduled surveys are important for policy makers to accurately
gauge the tenor of the community. He noted that elected officials typically hear from strong supporters of a specific
project, and also from people who are particularly adverse to tax increases. However,he said that 50-60%of the
people are somewhere in the middle. He felt that it was important for policy makers to have accurate information
from which to determine where to place their resources,both in terms of efforts,and funding.
Attached is a sample of some of the questions which are typically asked of a city's residents. He said that the
survey instrument would be tailored for our particular situation. M-L would meet first with stakeholders, including
elected officials, staff,and other community representatives,to establish the topics for which inquiries would
be made. Because this is the first general survey for Shakopee, it's probable that a larger than typical number of
questions would need to be asked. For Shakopee right now,it might be particularly timely to inquire about
opinions for recreation--a second sheet of ice, indoor swimming pool,artificial turf fields, and the like. Questions
could be structured so that the support for various types of funding could be weighed.
Most alternatives to one-on-one interviews, such as on-line opinion polling,are typically not as accurate.
Beginning to end, it is estimated that 90 days'time would be needed. Therefore,the base results could be received
before the end of the year.
Recommendation
I recommend that the City hire Morris Leatherman to conduct a survey of Shakopee residents to gauge community
perception and support for municipal projects and services.
Until the full scope is determined,I further recommend authorizing the maximum estimated expenditure of
$22,000;if the questions can be pared down,the cost would be reduced accordingly.
Budget Impact
As shown in the attached proposal,the cost of the project varies by the number of questions asked,and by the
degree of accuracy desired. Four-hundred telephone interviews for a city of our size will yield an accuracy rate of
+1-5%. Increasing the sample to 600 calls increases the accuracy rate to+1-4%. It should be noted that 35-45%of
the calls are made to cell phones,and so people without land-lines are accurately represented as well.
Overall,the cost would range from a low of$13,000(basic survey)to$22,000. Again,as this would be the initial
survey,I recommend budgeting at the high end of that range.
The costs of this survey would be charged to the City Council budget.
If the Council chooses to go ahead,a follow-up survey would not necessarily need to be done annually,although
some cities do that. M-L stated that more typical cycle is every two to four years,with cities of faster rates of
growth often opting for the every other year alternative.
Relationship To Visioning
This supports Goal B, "Positively manage the challenges and opportunities presented by growth, development and
change.
Requested Action
If the Council concurs, it should,by motion,direct Staff to hire the Morris Leatherman Company to perform a
telephone survey regarding municipal services and projects,at a cost not to exceed$22,000.
