RE: Joint City Council/Downtown Committee/CDC Agenda
DATE: October 19, 1988
INTRODUCTION•
On September 27, 1988 the Shakopee City Council agreed to
schedule a joint meeting with the Downtown Committee and
Community Development Commission. The meeting will be held in
the First Minnesota Bank meeting room at 7: 00 P.M. on Tuesday,
October 25, 1988.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the joint meeting is to discuss community
issues and develop a plan of action for the Community Development
Commission and Downtown Committee. Shown in Exhibit #1 is an
agenda for the meeting.
As a result of Council's discussion regarding the status of
the Downtown Committee, I have attahced the memo that I sent to
City Council for their review on September 6, 1988. (See Exhibit
#2) This information may be useful in assisting discussion on
this issue. The purpose of the memo was to evaluate whether or
not the Downtown Committee has completed their mission. Shown in
Exhibit #3 is a copy of Resolution #2810 which was approved by
City Council on October 6, 1987. The purpose of the resolution
was to confirm the City's commitment to the Downtown
Revitalization and Land Use Plan provided therein until the
adoption of an updated Downtown Revitalization Plan.
Additionally the resolution provided that all development
requests that acquire within the downtown area and that are
seeking public money or deviation from the Downtown
Revitalization Plan be referred to the Downtown Ad Hoc Committee
for review and comment.
ACTION REOUESTED•
Discuss community issues and develop a plan of action for

1) Develop a plan that accomodates thru traffic while not
detracting from the existing retail core and enhancing future
development opportunities.
2) Improve 2nd. Avenue as a retail street.
3) Develop an organized shared-parking concept in order to
minimize the land area used for parking and better utilize
existing street system.
In our review of attachment #4, we also find that many of
the objectives have not been met. Following are three objectives
that staff would classify as major items deserving of further
consideration:
1) Accomodate at least one 100 additional multi-family housing
unit development.
2) capture tourist traffic.
3) Accomodate thru-traffic while not detracting from the
existing retail core and enhance development.
On March 3, 1988 the Shakopee City Council unanimously
approved the CDC One Year Work Plan. Staff would like to note
that the following items were listed in the one year work plan of
the City and delegated to the Downtown Committee:
1) Develop and secure Request for Proposals from developers
interested in the development of the Southern half of Block
#4 in Downtown Shakopee. (City Hall Block)
2) Initiate an analysis of Huber Park and the possibility of
converting it to commercial use as part of a larger river
front development.
3) Prepare a Request For Proposal Package that would attract
developers to Downtown. The proposal should be site specific
and should define the level of City assistance if any, to the
developer with the best proposal. The request for proposal
specifications should be formally approved by City Council.
4) Discuss securing the assistance of a consultant to prepare a
Market Analysis for Downtown Shakopee.
The complete One Year Work Plan is shown in attachment #5
for Councils' information.
If the City Council feels that the remaining objectives can
be accomplished by a Committee other than the Downtown Committee,
following are several courses of action for Council's
consideration:
1) The membership size of the CDC could be expanded and the
remaining objectives could be delegated to this
Commission for further review and analysis.

MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Administrative Assistant
RE: Evaluation of Downtown Committee
DATE: August 29, 1988
INTRODUCTION•
The Shakopee City Council has directed staff to evaluate
whether or not there is a need to maintain the Downtown Committee
in its' present format.
BACKGROUND:
On several occasions discussion has taken place on the
merits of maintaining the Downtown Committee as an advisory body.
Debate has taken place on whether or not the Committee has
officially completed its, mission as set forth by City
Resolution.
In April of 1981 the Downtown Committee was created (by City
Council Resolution #1822) as a subcommittee of the Industrial
Commercial Commission. (Now Community Development Commission)
It's mission as set forth in Resolution #1822 was to prepare and
recommend a Downtown Economic Development strategy to the
Industrial Commercial Commission (ICC) and the City Council.
(See attachment #1)
In 1983 Resolution #2112 expanded the membership of the
Committee from 11 to 20 members. This was done to permit the
involvement of a greater number of people who would be directly
affected by the Downtown Redevelopment Project. (See attachment
#2)
In 1984 the Downtown Revitalization Concept Plan was
completed and adopted by City Council. At that time, Resolution
42217 resolved that the Ad Hoc Downtown Committee be directed to
continue its' efforts towards the revitalization of the downtown
by seeking means to implement said concept plan. (See attachment
#3)
In order for us to determine if the Downtown Committee has
completed its' mission as set forth in Resolution 42217, we must
review the goals and objectives as set forth in the Downtown
Revitalization Concept Plan. (See attachment #4) In the left
hand column of attachment #4, staff has attempted to list the
status of each of the goals and objectives listed.
In our analysis of the goals and objectives, (Attachment #4)
we find that several of the goals and objectives have been met
including the following three major objectives:
2) Split the yet completed objectives between the HRA and
the Community Development Commission.
3) Have the remaining duties picked-up by an independent
merchants association that has no formal City tie.
4) If the City Council believes that the incomplete items
could best be accomplished by the Downtown Committee, the
Council could simply move to maintain the status quo
until such time that the remaining goals and objectives
have been completed.
ALTERNATIVES-
1. Transfer the remaining objectives to the Community
Development Commission and expand it's membership size from
six to nine members.
2 . Split the remaining objectives between the Community
Development Commission and the HRA.
3 . Maintain the status quo.
4. Have the remaining goals and objectives picked-up by an
independent merchants association with no formal ties to the
City.
5. Recommend that the CDC review this issue and make a
recommendation to City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss the pro's and con's of this issue and make a
recommendation accordingly.
ACTION REONESTED:
Make a motion regarding the status of the Downtown
Committee.

MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John K. Anderson, City Administrator
RE: Recruitment of New City Administrator (Supplemental
Memo)
DATE: October 21, 1988 i
Introduction
The Shakopee City Council, at its October 18, 1988 meeting,
requested that I obtain more information about the cost of an
interim Administrator and the cost of selected services from a
professional executive search firm.
Estimates Obtained
Interim Administrator:
1. I spoke with Bill Radio and he provided the estimate of
$5, 000 per month based upon working eight days a month (two
day a week) and attending all Council meetings.
2. I spoke with Orville Johnson and he recommended $200-225 per
day based upon the current Administrator's hourly rate x 8
hours. For Shakopee that would be $206. 32 so the $200 rate
would be realistic. At two days per week including Council
meetings (eight days) his fee would be $1600. 00 per month.
If Orville worked three days per week this would equal
$2400. 00 per month for an estimated two to three months.
Executive Recruitment Services:
1. I spoke with Jim Brimeyer from Sathe & Associates, Inc. and
he stated that he could provide services outlined in his
proposal under Step No. 1 drafting the profiles and Step No.
2 initial screening with one initial confidential phone
contact with the 10-15 candidates for $3, 000. 00. He
estimated that this would take 80-90 hours of his time with
the bulk of the time focusing on Step No. 1. The total fee
for Steps No. 1-8 would be about $9, 500. 00 (20% of the
advertised top salary) .
Summary
I believe the City Council had a good, but limited, discussion
about using an interim Administrator and/or an executive search
at its October 18th meeting. I believe that those preliminary
discussions began to illustrate that there may be some merit to
obtaining assistance in one or both areas. I have also placed a
call to Orville Johnson to discuss the possibility of his
assisting our Personnel Coordinator with candidate screening
should the City Council choose not to use an executive search
consultant at all.
