Mr. Kraft reviewed the 1990 census data on population, households, and employment as well as the projections for 2000, 2010, and 2020 in the City' s comprehensive plan and from the Metropolitan Council . He explained that the City Council has completed a draft comprehensive plan which was submitted to Metropolitan Council but which has not yet been approved. He identified the types of land uses desired in certain areas of the City and where the metropolitan urban sewer service area (MUSA) line is located. He explained that the City requires a 2 1/2 acre minimum lot size in the rural area which is not in conformance with the Metropolitan Council (Met Council) . Mr. Kraft (with the use of two maps) showed two possible growth plans depicting where the City would like to see development occur in the years 2000, 2010, 2020, and 2040 . The City Council has not made a decision on where development will occur. Development patterns will impact the schools . Mr. Kraft explained that the City is currently negotiation with Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) regarding the extension of the sewer interceptor from Chaska to the Blue Lake Treatment Center which will be located along the Shakopee Bypass . This proposed route will result in less trunk sewer construction by the City and will result in a cost savings . He identified some elements that are being discussed in the negotiations : ie : paving ramps to the bypass, location of the MUSA line. He stated that these will affect the pattern of development and where schools will be needed as well as a 2nd fire station and other municipal facilities . Mayor Laurent stated that thoughts and ideas from the school board are welcome . Because development will impact the schools, input is desired from the school district .

Mr. Ostlund explained that new information is now available as a result of a data base containing information on property taxes paid, property values and income for both outstate taxpayers and tax payers within the metro area. He passed out a handout which compared the average property taxes paid by an outstate homeowner compared to a metro homeowner making between $20, 000 to $30, 000 . He stated that an outstate homeowner makes between $50, 000 to $75, 000/year and pays on the average $767 in property taxes compared to a metro homeowner who makes between $20, 000 to $30, 000/year and pays $897 in property taxes . Mr. Ostlund stated that outstate taxpayers communities receive more state aid than communities of metro taxpayers. He said that the equity issue needs to be addressed as well as the tax equity. Mr. Ostlund stated that two-thirds of the sales tax and income tax are generated in the urban area while only one-third remains there, the other one-third is sent by the State to out state Minnesota. He also indicated that the metro area and that the metro area has one-half of the primary and secondary school enrollment . He said that most people are not aware of the differences in taxation. MUTUAL LOBBYING EFFORTS. Ms . Wendt suggested that Ms. Lynch carry the information on inequity of taxation to the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM) to raise some interest in lobbying the legislature for equity in taxation. Mr. Ebner stated that at an Association of Metropolitan School Districts (AMSD) meeting last week there were 30 districts expressing the same concerns that we are. He stated that we need to unify. He stated that AMSD will be hiring a lobbyist to focus on two or three issues . SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION There was a brief discussion on the construction of sidewalks, what the city policy is and what the school district needs are for the safety of students walking to school . Mr. Ostlund stated that it is desirous to complete the sidewalks on Lewis and Holmes in the 900 block or at least on one of these streets leading to the High School . He stated that the School District needs to identify where sidewalks would be helpful and that they will be looking at other pedestrian routes in the future. He said that busing costs could be kept down if there are more properly located sidewalks . Mayor Laurent asked the School District to identify the areas where sidewalks are desired. Official Proceedings of the October 25, 1993 Shakopee City Council Page -3- COMMUNITY CENTER Mr. Kraft reported that there is a group in the community who is working on promoting the construction of a community center. He said that another referendum could not be held until six months have passed since the last referendum. Mayor Laurent explained that there is a group of people discussing the community center and trying to identify the reasons why the last referendum did not pass. They are also talking about what direction to go. He said that the group supports an ice facility with a community center. He said that the group is broad based. BASEBALL FIELDS Mr. Ostlund updated the City Council on the improvements being made South of the High School . He explained that there are four or five ball diamonds included in the school plan but he doesn' t know when they will be developed. He explained that one ball field will be lost as a result of the construction at Sweeney School and that all three ball fields will be retained at Pearson School . Discussion followed on the need for the School District and the City to work together on meeting community recreational needs . Ms . Wendt explained that there are traffic problems occurring at Sweeney School because of the construction and that a request will be forthcoming to the City Council . Mayor Laurent expressed appreciation for everyone being able to get together to discuss issues of mutual concern. He thanked Ms . Wendt for initiation the meeting and concluded that the goal of the City Council is to continue to work with the School Board in a productive manner.
