What?

To meet the growing needs of our students, the Carlisle Board of Education is calling for a special election for the sale of up to $17

million in general obligation bonds to be held on April 3, 2018. This would cover the costs of the district’s Phase II Projects. Projects

include: construction of a new district indoor activities center, relocation and renovation of the high school art and industrial art class-

rooms, energy efficiency upgrades at the elementary school, district-wide upgrades for security and technology, and classroom furni-

ture to meet the needs of our 21st learners.

Bond referendum vote requires a 60 percent super-majority (plus one) “YES” vote to pass. If approved, construction on the district

indoor activities center would begin in the fall of 2018 with completion of all projects by the fall of 2021.

Why?

Since 2006 the district has grown by over 500 students in total enrollment serving 2,250 students this school year. As a direct result of

the growth of the district and the city of Carlisle, the district needs to expand and improve facilities to support growing school and

community programs.

Current facilities cannot support district-wide events such as high school graduation nor does the current gymnasium meet state crite-

ria to host post-season regional level events. District-wide upgrades necessary to restructure and equip our classrooms for 21st cen-

tury learners. Energy efficiency upgrades are also needed to provide better learning environments and reduce district energy costs.

Impact on School Tax Levy?

If voters approve the referendum, the passage will have a neutral impact on the school tax levy. The current tax levy already includes

the $4.05 Debt Service levy amount previously approved by district patrons. One of the district promises to the community is to be a

good steward of taxpayer dollars. Over the past eight years the school board has reduced the school tax levy by a total of $3.11. The

school tax levy is only a portion of your total property tax bill. The tables displays the history of the school tax levy.

Timeline

Ideally, construction will begin on the relocation and renovation of the high school art and industrial arts classrooms this summer. The

district indoor activities center would start early fall of 2018 with completion for fall of 2019. District-wide upgrades and energy

efficiency improvements to the elementary would begin in early 2020 with completion in the summer of 2021.

What Can You Do?

Encourage others to learn more about the Phase II Projects and to vote. Patrons have two opportunities to vote. Early Voting on

March 7th and Special Election on April 3rd at the Family Life Center in Carlisle. If you have questions, please contact

Superintendent Bryce Amos at [email protected] or call 515-989-3589.

PHASE II PROJECTS

BUILDING FOR OUR FUTURE

GENERAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q1. What exactly is the Carlisle School District proposing? A. The district is proposing a facility plan “Phase II Projects” that would address the district’s increased student enrollment, curriculum/instructional, and program needs which have an approximate total cost of $17 million. The funding would be through the issuance of general obligation bonds with additional funding from sales tax funds. The Phase II Projects include:

Indoor Activities Center with a seat capacity of 1800 for activities and graduation (current gym capacity is 1100). Facility includes new wrestling and fitness center, additional classroom space, and new booster club store built on the north side of the high school campus. ($14.5 million)

Renovation and relocation of the Industrial Tech and Art classrooms to the current high school building. ($700,000)

Energy efficiency improvements for Carlisle Elementary school to include new windows and

HVAC upgrades. ($550,000)

K-12 classroom furniture upgrades to support 21st century curriculum and instructional needs. ($650,000)

District wide security and technology improvements. ($600,000)

Q2. How will this affect my property taxes? A. This bond would be school tax levy neutral. Meaning there would be no impact on the school property tax levy. The bond for Phase II projects will be assigned to the debt service levy. The debt service levy is one part of the total school tax rate, which includes levies such as the General, PPEL, Management, and ISL Funds. Each of the levies independently increases or decreases annually, and when combined, form the overall school tax rate. Conservative projections for these levies, along with the debt service levy, show the bond for Phase II will not require an increase in the school district’s portion of the tax rate. Q3. How is the bond referendum approved? A. The bond requires a 60% super-majority “yes” vote in order to pass. Q4. Can this money be used for any other purpose? A. By law, the $17M can only be used for the purpose described on the ballot and nothing else. It cannot be used, for example, to fund teacher or staff salaries, benefits or other district expenses, which are typically covered by the General Fund. Q5. Why can’t the existing budget or other funds be used for the projects? A. Other funds – sales tax & PPEL – are being committed to the overall scope. General fund monies are used for the ongoing expenses (primarily salaries and benefits of teachers and staff) of the district. The scope of this proposed project is large enough that it requires the use of general obligation bonds in addition to those other funding sources.


Q6. Why a referendum? Who Can Vote? A. State law requires that voters approve general obligation bonds before they can be issued. Residents of the Carlisle Community School District may vote if they are registered and 18 years of age or older on Election Day. Q7. When is the special election? Where do I vote? A. Special election is scheduled for Tuesday, April 3. The district will also be holding a Satellite Absentee Voting Station on Wednesday, March 7 for early voting. Registered voters can vote at the Family Life Center located on School Street across from Carlisle Elementary School. Q8. Can I vote Absentee for the Special Election? A. Yes, if you are unavailable to vote on April 3, you can still have your vote count by requesting an Absentee Ballot. Q9. What is the Satellite Absentee Voting Station? A. There will be an opportunity for “early voting” for registered voters of the school district on Wednesday, March 7. Satellite voting provides in-person absentee voting at other places other than the auditor’s office. Voters must mark the absentee ballot at the satellite station and leave it with the officials. You cannot take the ballot home with you. Q10. When was the last bond referendum? A. The last bond referendum was in 2005 for $9M, voters passed the bond referendum with an 83% approval rate for the construction of Carlisle Middle School Q11. What happens if the bond referendum passes? What are the next step? A. The district’s architects will complete the final portions of the plans for the Indoor Activities Center for construction bids to go out in August of 2018, with construction to start in September of 2018 and completion in fall of 2019. Renovation of Industrial Tech classrooms will start in May of 2018 with completion planned for August of 2018. Other projects will start in the fall of 2019 and continue through the spring of 2021. Q12. What happens if the bond referendum fails? A. The Board of Education would likely assess and call for another bond referendum in six months. The majority of the Phase II projects would be delayed due to the amount of sales tax and PPEL funds currently available to the district. Q13. Will my taxes go down if the bond referendum fails? A. No. The district will maintain the $4.05 Debt Service as part of our school property tax levy rate. The district is using the debt service to pay down current bond debt. Q14. How many years will it take to pay off the bond? A. The proposed bond issue will be repaid over 20 years. Q15. What is a bond? A. The sale of bonds is a form of long-term financing that spreads the cost of major capital improvements over a number of years, much like a home mortgage. This method of financing also ensures both current and future users of the facility help pay for its construction.


Q16. How does our School Tax Rate compare to other Districts? A. For the current FY2018 school year, the District has the lowest property tax rate of local area school districts. The district as lowered the property tax rate a total of $3.11 over the past eight years. The chart below shows the property tax rates of local districts. If the bond passes, the District’s property tax rates would not increase since it is levy neutral. Q17. Why does the District need a new Gym? A. The current high school gymnasium was built in 1970 with a seat capacity of 1100. The facility throughout the years has had improvements with lighting, new floor and bleachers. Beyond school programming, the gymnasium also is used by most community youth athletic organizations and community groups. With the current and future growth of the community and district, the facility has reached its capacity. Due to capacity requirements, the district cannot hold post season wrestling tournaments, or host our own graduation ceremony. The current wrestling and fitness center have also reached their capacity to serve our students. The new indoor activities center will also have an indoor walking/running track to support the district’s growing track and cross country programs and provide access to our community “winter walkers”. Q18. If the bond referendum passes, what will happen to the current gym? A. The current gym will continue to be in use as the district’s auxiliary gym. The gym will be used to support district and community programming. The space is also designated for future school expansion of cafeteria and classrooms spaces. Q19. Is the district planning to provide more parking at the current high school? A. The district currently has 528 parking spaces on the district’s main campus (elementary & high school). We will lose approximately 61 spaces with the new construction. The district is actively pursuing other options for additional parking spaces. Q20. What about other facility improvements in the district? A. The district just recently completed Phase I Projects that provided the high school a variety of educational enhancements, including health and safety, maintenance, and energy efficiencies. The project also included a new Fine Arts Center providing increased performance spaces, new music storage, new music recording system, improved acoustics and increase storage space. The $4.95 million project was funded through the district’s PPEL funds.

I. IntroductionStudy Purpose/ BackgroundThe Mayor and City Council of Carlisle, Iowa, aim to create a strategic plan for the community’s long term growth as the community begins to deplete its supply of developable land within its corporate limits. Part of that plan involves getting a better understanding of the most likely future development areas for residential, commercial, and industrial growth and potential city annexation outside the current municipal boundaries of the community, as well as a policy and growth management approach to incorporate rural developments that may choose to be voluntarily annexed into the community.

SEH Inc. was commissioned to assist the City of Carlisle in this study effort and prioritize planned growth in the community. The completed study was acknowledged as an interim resource and guide for growth planning until the City’s existing Comprehensive Plan, finalized in 2010, can be updated. The comprehensive planning update process is expected to begin in 2018.

Carlisle’s population growth has been steadily increasing in recent years and is projected to grow at a similar rate in the future. The table below indicates numerical and percent growth increases since 1970, and available forecasts to 2050.

*2050 7,518 8.9

* DMAMPO Mobilizing Tomorrow forecast

The table to the right indicates consistently planned growth for the next 30+ years, but likely within the existing, known city limits. The numeric growth comes from an economic model applied to the Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (DMAMPO) Long Range Transportation Plan entitled Mobilizing Tomorrow.

Carlisle’s Recent Growth HistoryDue to population increases, a greater demand for utility services and other factors, the City of Carlisle has physically expanded numerous times over the past 20 years, adding more than 600 acres of land in major/minor annexations to its municipal boundaries, as recorded by the Iowa Economic Development Administration for the Iowa Development Board.

II. Development Analysis Study Area Definition The proposed study area was developed using the City Council’s growth planning guidance and confirmed at a workshop held on July 31, 2017. This guidance was formed in part by the desire to develop logical extensions to the community, provide new access to areas that are currently landlocked or otherwise difficult to develop, and also help define future municipal corporate limits with bordering communities (i.e. City of Des Moines).

Figure 1 illustrated here and in full page size (Appendix A) shows the Carlisle Growth Management Study Area (“Study Area”). The Study Area may or may not include properties that could eventually be annexed within the City of Carlisle. Its limits generally include the existing City limits and IA 5 on the north, existing city limits on the east, land area approximately 0.5 mile south of Scotch Ridge Road on the south, and the City of Des Moines city limits /US 65 on the west. The Study Area totals 5,134 acres.

Figure 1. Growth Management Study Area

See a larger version of this figure on page 26 in Appendix A.

Page 3

Current Land Use Characteristics Current land use in the Study Area includes three predominant uses – rural agricultural, natural wooded/floodplains associated with North River, and rural residential properties. Much of the access to private properties in the Study Area is provided by Scotch Ridge Road, 140th Avenue, Iowa Highway 5 and US 65, and the street system associated with the locally-known “Briggs” neighborhood. Except for Scotch Ridge Road and State and US highways, the local roadway system is unimproved (gravel). Developed properties in the unincorporated area are connected to local wells and on-site septic sewer. Approximately 3,050 acres of the Study Area could be considered developable lands, of the total of 5,134 acres (approximately 41 percent). Approximately 59 percent of the study area includes properties associated with floodplains and wetlands, right-of-way, steep slopes (in excess of 12 percent), and protected historic forest. Figure 2 illustrates a high-level review of developable property in the Study Area.

Comprehensive Plan RecommendationsThe current Carlisle Comprehensive Plan, approved in March 2010, includes an Implementation chapter that describes the City’s planned approach to development, including policies and actions, including future annexations. The plan provides the following guidance in the Implementation chapter for managing future overall growth, with emphasis on residential, commercial and industrial, and annexation best practices. Figure 3 illustrates an image of the City’s Comprehensive Plan Implementation guidance.

III. Community Growth VisioningCommunity Visioning outreach was conducted during the study to assess interest in growth, potential annexations, and issues

and concerns from a variety of perspectives. In addition to the Carlisle Mayor and City Council, property owners in the Study

Area were queried, as were local government agencies and local developers who have previously worked in Carlisle or may

potentially develop properties in the future.

Carlisle Visioning WorkshopA Visioning workshop was held with the Carlisle Mayor and City Council on July 31, 2017. The purpose of the workshop was to introduce the City Council to the study scope, schedule, deliverables, and next steps. Through the Council’s participation, the workshop was also designed to

help set expectations of study outcomes. SEH introduced the workshop with a short presentation and led the Mayor and City Council through a Visioning exercise. The following workshop outcomes were recorded:

Carlisle Visioning Workshop Discussion

GROWTH IN 0-10 YEARS 10-20 YEARS 20+ YEARS

Potential Opportunities

• Potential for two Danamere Farms (Hubbell)- sized developments

• Potential for new development south of Highway 5 near 140th Street (commercial development – Klyne property)

• Property owners will choose Carlisle over other cities

• Develop in a linear stretch from Scotch Ridge to US 65

• Balance Residential and Commercial Growth

• Consider places for storefronts

• Development of the Scotch Ridge Road/ US 65 property for commercial/industrial development

Potential Challenges

• Costs to Carlisle for expanding public services (beyond infrastructure)

• Next area to develop (water tower site) may be difficult

• Can’t forget about redevelopment needs – Downtown, etc. – when considering how to attract new residents and businesses

• Increased taxes for residential properties

• Coordination with the City of Des Moines for needed infrastructure / municipal service agreements

Stakeholder Outreach and FeedbackPROPERTY OWNERS

There are more than 60 property owners identified in the Study Area, including government agencies. Of that total, 31 property owners were surveyed whose properties were deemed to be most developable and candidates for future annexations to the City of Carlisle within the Study Area limits. Property owners were sent a mail survey to gauge their short- and long-term interests in maintaining their properties in current practices (typically agricultural) or potentially selling and converting their properties to other uses and possibly being annexed into the City of Carlisle.

Of the total surveys distributed, 18 completed surveys were returned (approximately 58 percent), which is considered a reasonable return rate to record common responses and representation in the Study Area. Survey representation skewed mainly toward multiple property owners (usually husband and wife or business partnership) and sole proprietors.

A summary of the results follows in Figure 4. A letter addressed to property owners and the survey instrument are included in Appendix B of this report.

Figure 4. Study Area Property Owner Survey Results

Page 7

The returned property owner surveys indicate a general desire to maintain current farming practices but nearly half (and possibly more) would be interested in being annexed to the City of Carlisle if their current agricultural land uses and/or property taxes could be maintained or lowered.

Government AgenciesGovernment agencies, including those representing Study Owner property owners or the region as a whole, were contacted to gather opinions on the City of Carlisle’s growth desires and proposal to target its future growth in the Study Area. Agency contacts included the City of Des Moines, Warren County Board of Supervisors, the Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, Carlisle School District, and the Warren County Economic Development Corporation.

Discussions with these agencies centered on the city’s growth goal with the goals or missions of these agencies. Generally, urban development in appropriate areas with a long-range plan to accomplish it was viewed positively. A balance of sustainable urban growth with natural area preservation was viewed to be a positive step for the community and its location and “role” as a metro city capable of absorbing considerable planned growth in the Des Moines Metropolitan Area.

Development Community Six local and regional developers were also contacted with residential and commercial property development portfolios. These developers have initiated projects in Carlisle in the past or have expressed interest in developing within the community through brokers or regional agencies such as the Warren County Economic Development Corporation.

Responses from the development community was also generally positive, in that a long-range guidance tool filling a developable “gap” adjacent to the Des Moines highway “loop” such as this has not been proposed in the past. Extension of city utilities, particularly sewer service, was frequently mentioned, as was the need to reduce construction costs of new housing (in comparison to the remainder of the Metro Area) and also fill a need for more dense, affordable housing (i.e. “rooftops”). Providing potential new access from the Iowa 5/US 65 bypass was very well received as a potential catalyst to future commercial and industrial development in an area that is currently difficult to access. Providing a broader range of housing for an aging population was also mentioned, including assisted living and full care facilities. Developers cited the ability to deliver affordable lots, use of tax abatement as a catalyst, and promotion of appropriately-sized commercial developments for the community and southeastern Metro Area were as key factors in promoting new growth in the Study Area.

IV. Conceptual Development PhasingUsing the aforementioned analyses and stakeholder guidance, an estimate to direct goals and phasing of proposed

development over time was developed. A conceptual land use plan was prepared along with an interconnecting street network

to provide the “framework” for a scenario that would enable a full-build out of the Study Area over a 40+ year analysis period.

Conceptual Land Use Plan Using guidance from the current Comprehensive Plan, a conceptual land use map was prepared to show a potential build-out of the developable and undevelopable areas in the Study Area. The conceptual land use plan illustrates a mix of residential, commercial and industrial, and reserve lands intended to help present a reasonable scenario to augment the timing of proposed development in the study area with potential candidate land uses. The actual future land use plan will be developed with an update of the City’s Comprehensive Plan, currently planned for 2018. Figure 5 illustrates conceptual future land uses and interconnecting streets. The conceptual future street system was overlain to indicate how access to developable parcels could be provided, and also indicate how streets could potentially interconnect over time as the Study Area is developed.

The potential future street system highlights include:

• Potential new local interchange access and connecting street network spaced between the current interchanges of Iowa Highway 5 and US 65. Figure 6 illustrates two alternative concepts for a future local service interchange that is properly spaced between the existing entrance and exit ramps of IA 5/US 65 in Carlisle and IA 5/US 65 in Des Moines. The purpose of a new local service interchange in this area would be to set future access in the area between the currently rural areas dividing the Cities of Carlisle and Des Moines, and in doing

so, provide for orderly growth and development with immediate highway access to IA 5 and US 65. It would be particularly helpful to identify this area as a priority for future access prior to its potential upgrade to Interstate Highway functional classification status in the future, which will require a more extensive interchange justification approval process.

• Use of an existing North River crossing (140th Avenue) to provide an upgraded interconnecting route between northern and southern development areas of the Study Area. This would minimize future impacts to the North River by concentrating on a single crossing, and also locate the crossing in a continuous north-south corridor aligned with the proposed interchange in the study area and in anticipated Des Moines growth areas north of IA 5/US 65.

• Use of existing Scotch Ridge Road as a “backbone” to tether new neighborhoods and future new commercial and industrial development. This roadway would be expected to carry larger volumes of traffic, and be a minor arterial connection between US 65 to the southwest, and IA 5 to the northeast, within the study area.

• Connection of streets in existing developments, including the “Briggs” neighborhood, to provide for long-term street connectivity with future developments that will occur adjacent to this neighborhood.

Considerations for Extension of City Services A number of studies have been completed to determine the effects of various types of development on a municipality’s cost outlays. These studies have consistently shown the net public costs resulting from low-density sprawl development are higher than those resulting from higher density developments of the same number of homes. In simple terms, it costs more to extend sewer and water service, to provide police and fire protection, to fund road repair, to send out school buses, and to provide refuse collection service when homes are spread out than when they are proximate to existing services and facilities.

In order to achieve compact, orderly and efficient urban growth, plans for the extension of municipal services into growth areas must be developed and implemented. In addition to identifying the services available and a plan to physically provide those services within a defined service area, it is also essential to both identify the party responsible for service extension and a method of financing the extension.

The services which are considered for extension into the future growth areas of the city are streets, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, police protection, fire protection and solid waste collection.

STREETS

for the specific function or combination of functions it is designed to serve. This functional classification system forms the basis for planning, designing, constructing, maintaining and operating the street system. For these reasons urban streets are generally designed and developed in a hierarchy comprised of the following types:

• Principal Arterials This is a major road or highway with moderate to high speeds and high traffic volumes. Major arterials provide access to the regional transportation network, and move traffic through and between cities and communities. Access to abutting lands is limited. Traffic volumes would typically exceed 15,000 vehicles per day. Examples in the Study Area are Iowa 5 and US 65.

• Minor Arterials A Minor Arterial is a major road with moderate speeds designed to collect or move traffic from one major part of the community to another or to move traffic to and from the major arterial system. Traffic volumes would generally range from 5,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day. An example in the Study Area’s conceptual land use plan is Scotch Ridge Road

• Collectors Collectors are secondary or intermediate level streets with moderate posted speeds and carry low to moderate traffic volumes. These streets collect local traffic from neighborhoods and carry it to adjacent neighborhoods or transfer the traffic to the arterial system. This type of street would typically serve a neighborhood or area with 150 or more dwellings and carry 1,000 to 5,000 vehicles per day. An example in the Study Area’s conceptual land use plan is 140th Avenue.

• Local Streets Local streets are minor streets intended to serve individual sites, buildings or lots, and provide access to residential neighborhoods. Local streets either feed into collectors or provide destination access off of collectors. An example in the Study Area’s conceptual land use plan of this type of street is Blue Street.

The transportation network within and around a community plays a significant role in its physical development and growth. This network of streets,

roads and highways should be coordinated to form a system that not only provides efficient internal circulation, but one that also facilitates through traffic. Since streets serve two basic functions, moving traffic and providing access to abutting lands, each street should be classified and designed

Page 12

SANITARY SEWER

A sanitary sewer system is a network of sewers used to collect the liquid wastes of a city for subsequent treatment. The location and capacity

of main sewer lines and treatment plants are a factor in determining both the density and location of development within a community. Generally, the design of main sewer lines and plant capacity is reflective of anticipated land uses and population projections of a predetermined “service” area. Sewage is generally collected by a gravity flow system, wherein sewer lines are laid out in a manner as to flow continually downhill. Where grades are insufficient to provide gravity flow, pressurized sewer collection systems or pumping of the sewage becomes necessary. Adding pump stations to the system correspondingly adds expense and maintenance and replacement needs and is generally discouraged. Pressurized sewer collection systems with privately maintained grinder pumps are becoming more

common where gravity sewer systems are not feasible. Carlisle’s Public Works Department currently maintains three sewer lift stations and a waste water treatment facility north of Iowa 5 in the developed portions of the community. A major sanitary sewer extension area was identified for the northwest portion of the community.

Providing adequate capacity for new sanitary sewer service distribution lines, lift stations, and treatment facility needs is a significant component of future analysis within the Study Area. Additional study will be needed to determine if the City’s current sanitary sewer basins have adequate capacity to service new growth. New service areas and potential agreements with neighboring communities may also need to be explored, including the Cities of Indianola and Des Moines, as well as the Des Moines Wastewater Reclamation Authority (WRA).

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT

Storm water runoff is the water flowing over the surface of the ground as a result of a rainfall or snow melt. The primary goal in the management

of storm water runoff is to minimize hazards to life and property. This is accomplished by using storm sewers, ditches, swales, ponds and treatment facilities to manage, collect and carry surface water to a natural water course or body of water in such a way as to prevent flooding and the resultant damage.

Stormwater utility planning will be needed to identify new drainage basins in the Study Area. The stormwater facilities within the Study Area are generally limited to ditch collection and conveyance and collection systems. As new city streets are constructed, and as existing streets are improved, storm drainage infrastructure will be installed or improved. Those

persons developing property have the responsibility to convey storm water from their property to an appropriate point of disposal. The quantity and rate of runoff from a developed piece of property should not exceed that which would occur had the property remained undeveloped. In instances where developing property cannot be drained to an appropriate point of disposal, storm water must be detained and handled on site.

The Clean Water Act regulations currently require storm water treatment for urban areas with populations in excess of 10,000, which the City of Carlisle will be moving toward as future annexations in the Study Area occur. It is expected that expanded storm water regulations will also apply to smaller communities in the near future.

Page 13

POTABLE WATER

Water for the Carlisle community is supplied by five wells with a capacity to serve a population of 8,900 persons (average daily demand of 890,000

gallons per day). Wells are currently located north of the North River. Two water towers with a combined capacity of 350,000 gallons per day provide storage. The Carlisle water treatment facility was constructed in the early 1970s and has a capacity to serve a population of approximately 4,800 persons, but has been recommended to be expanded with additional treatment capacity pressure filter installation.

The City’s 2007 Water System Master Plan update recommended the installation of a new water treatment facility to serve current and future needs.

Determination of future water capacity, distribution, and storage needs will be required as the city grows in the Study Area. A future evaluation of these needs will also help diagnose current system issues (such as aging infrastructure), system reliability, and fire protection requirements.

ELECTRICAL SERVICES

The City of Carlisle currently provides electrical distribution services to residential and commercial business customers within much of the current

city limits. MidAmerican Energy provides services in the proposed Study Area. If the City chooses to continue to expand electrical distribution services, existing distribution system facility upgrades and equipment will need to be evaluated for service capacity.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Solid waste collection and disposal services are provided within the City by Metro Waste Authority.

The city contract provides for weekly residential pick-up of refuse while businesses receive, if needed, multiple pick-ups each week. The demand for solid waste collection is typically proportionate to the size of the community. Therefore, as the City of Carlisle accepts annexations, its solid waste service area will increase as well, including the capacities of facilities for recycling drop off locations and related collection and maintenance equipment storage.

Page 14

FIRE, RESCUE, AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE (EMS) PROTECTION

Fire and EMS protection is dependent upon the size and type of fire protection work force, availability of adequate water, type

of equipment, and the response time involved.

The current fire department, which is a combination of paid part time staff and volunteer personnel, serves a growing population in the City of Carlisle and the community’s fire service area, with fire, rescue, and emergency medical services.

The Carlisle Fire Department serves the City of Carlisle and a fire service protection area outside the current city limits. In order to furnish fire protection for property within the city and existing fire service area, Iowa law grants the department authority to provide adequate firefighting apparatus, equipment, housing and facilities. In addition, the Carlisle Fire Department has authority to request special fire district levies when necessary. Mutual aid between the Carlisle Fire Department and departments outside the Carlisle Fire Service Area provides that manpower and equipment can be requested by any of the departments if additional assistance is needed.

To provide fire and EMS service to developments that will be annexed from the Study Area may affect the City’s Insurance Services Office (ISO) insurance class rating. Currently, hydrant locations in the city could be considered adequate in most areas. Future annexations will require additional hydrants in all these areas and an improved water delivery system such as mains and adequate fire flows.

Additional paid firefighting personnel will also likely be required for future growth, not totally contingent upon annexations but by the increased growth, development, and increased emergency calls in both the city and rural areas.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

Police protection is one of the essential services that should be adequately and efficiently available to every citizen. The Carlisle Police Department,

headquartered in City Hall, services areas within the city limits with its current staff of seven; however, with agreement from the Warren County Sheriff’s Department for mutual assistance and upon their request and depending upon availability, the Carlisle Police Department will respond to calls for assistance outside of the City. In return, the Warren County Sheriff’s Department responds to calls for back-up and assistance within the City upon request.

At any given time the Carlisle Police Department is influenced by a larger population than the City’s current population. With its local labor force, the City of Carlisle has a “daytime” population and unincorporated areas around the community to serve as well as its current residents. These factors obviously impact the efficiency and effectiveness of the police force. Other factors that impact the department are the number, frequency and location of crimes and traffic incidents. As the city grows both physically and in terms of population, it will be necessary to staff and equip the police department accordingly.

PARKS AND RECREATION

The City of Carlisle has prepared plans for new park and recreation properties in and adjacent to the Study Area, some of which are under current

development, including Scotch Ridge Nature Park and trails connecting adjacent properties with a future extension to the Summerset Trail. Other plans in the Study Area will provide for future natural and active recreation activities in the North River Valley, including nature and water trails. Future parks and trails were not illustrated on the conceptual land use graphic (Figure 4), but will be needed in the Study Area to complement planned developments.

Page 15

Phasing Analysis and Potential TimelineUsing the outcome of the study workshop planning process conducted by the Carlisle Mayor and City Council, noted stakeholder input, and the aforementioned development considerations, a priority phasing graphic was prepared. The Study Area was divided into 10 growth regions, assigned based on geographic locations, natural and built environment boundaries, and accessibility to current infrastructure to augment service extensions and potential annexations. Each region could be considered a “planning area” that provide a geographic limit and priority to consider individual future annexations for the community. These regions were numbered and generally follow an east to west pattern of growth, according to the following potential years of development:

• Growth Areas 1, 2, and 3 – 0 to 10 years

• Growth Areas 4, 5, 6, and 7 – 10-20 years

• Growth Areas 8, 9, and 10 – 20+ years

Figure 9. Example Typical Water Distribution System Construction Costs

Sanitary sewer costs to consider for the Study Area will depend on topographic conditions for gravity flow, capacity of the current Carlisle wastewater treatment lagoons, and the ability of trunk sanitary sewer lines to connect to the Des Moines Wastewater Reclamation Authority (WRA) metropolitan systems. In addition, the City of Des Moines

has extended sanitary sewer service south of IA 5/US 65 and east of US 65/US 69, near the most northwestern limits of the Study Area. There may be potential for connection or service agreements with the City of Des Moines for future developments in this area that may eventually be annexed to the City of Carlisle.

Recommended Policies for Extending City ServicesGENERAL POLICIES

The following general guideline policies are recommended for all properties proposed to be developed and annexed into the City of Carlisle:

• It will be the responsibility of the developer or property owner to construct all water lines, reservoirs, pump stations, culverts, drainage systems, sewer systems, roadways, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, street lighting, and rights-of-way in accordance to the development review policy as well as the Subdivision Requirements of the City of Carlisle and the State Building Code Standards for Design and Construction. The infrastructure improvements should be of adequate size and design to accommodate the needs of the proposed development. In the event that a development creates impacts requiring off-site improvements, the City Council will determine whether the developer will wholly or partially bear the costs of improvements.

• The developer or property owner will be responsible for providing fire protection appurtenances and required

water flow pressures, to the satisfaction of the City Fire Chief, based on the use of land and the type of construction employed.

• Water systems and sewer systems will be designed in such a manner as to avoid the provision of booster pumps or lift stations if feasible. All proposed booster pump stations and lift stations will be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.

• Before a development beyond city limits is allowed to connect to a City-owned utility, an Agreement for Annexation and City Water/Sewer Services form will be properly filed with the City Attorney.

• Prior to receiving services, the developer or property owner annexing must initiate and secure rezoning to appropriate City of Carlisle zoning district and map requirements when necessary. If the City initiates an annexation, it will assume responsibility for needed zoning map amendments.

Page 18

RECOMMENDED POLICIES FOR EXTENSION OF INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES TO UNDEVELOPED AREAS

RECOMMENDED POLICIES FOR EXTENDING OR CONNECTING TO CITY SERVICES IN EXISTING DEVELOPED AREAS

Each proposed new development should be considered an integral part of the comprehensive services plan of the City. The following general

policies for extension of services to undeveloped areas within new or planned annexation limits are recommended:

• Any subdivision or development of property within the identified Study Area should be designed in accordance with the City’s “Standards for Design and Construction” or SUDAS standards, as appropriate and applicable.

• Any subdivision or development of land beyond the Carlisle city limits, but within Carlisle’s two-mile extraterritorial statutory review area, should receive review and comment by the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission and Development Standards Committee. For development outside its planning jurisdiction, the City should recommend to the Warren or Polk County Board of Supervisors that new development within the

As a general policy, properties within the service area with existing utilities and facilities will be required to upgrade those improvements to City

standards and specifications as a prerequisite to receiving City services or additional City utility services. In such situations, the following policies should apply:

• Prior to making the municipal service(s) available to an existing developed area within the service area, the City may require a report describing the following:

– The approximate year or period in which the existing area was developed.

– The location, size and condition of existing water lines or systems.

– The location and condition of, the existing sewer system, including the size, material and grades of all pipe.

– The size, location and legal purpose of all existing rights-of-way and easements.

– The surface type, condition and width of all roadways.

– The existing storm drainage into and out of the area.

identified growth area be in accordance with the City’s proposed growth management plans.

– If construction of an on-site sewerage system is being considered, the future drainage basin of the system should be identified and lines sized accordingly. The cost and construction of all sewerage systems are the responsibility of the developer or property owner. Under certain circumstances, the City Council will determine whether the City will participate in financing the oversizing of infrastructure.

– It is the responsibility of the developer or property owner to have designed and constructed water mains and lines of adequate size to provide the required flows for the intended land use and fire protection.

• It is the responsibility of the developer or property owner to provide all required infrastructure improvements, as well as rights-of-way and easements.

The report should also include the estimated costs associated with correcting the deficiencies and bringing the utility or improvement to City standards. The City may require such a report to be prepared by a professional engineer, with the cost of the report borne by the developer or property owner.

If the property is to be annexed, the City’s annexation ordinance or resolution will specifically state the method and timeframe for bringing the existing conditions into compliance with City standards, and will identify the parties responsible for the improvements.

If City services are to be extended without concurrent annexation, the property owner should sign an Agreement for Annexation and City Sewer/Water Service. The agreement shall be recorded with the County Clerk and Recorder’s Office. The property owner should also sign, and the City record, a waiver of the right to protest participation in and the formation of any special improvement district that may be formed to improve the existing services, utilities, streets or other improvements.

Page 19

GUIDELINES FOR LIFE CYCLE COSTS OF FUTURE PLANNED INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE STUDY AREA

For the purpose of setting aside adequate

funds to replace components of the Study Area

infrastructure that are annexed to the City of

Carlisle, the following guidelines are provided as estimated

life of each of the components:

STRUCTURES 30 years

PIPELINES 50-100 years

STATIONARY EQUIPMENT (motors, pumps, conveyors, etc.) 10 years

ASPHALT SURFACES: • Local Streets • Collector Streets • Arterial

20 years 15 years 10 years

The amount to be set aside each year for the replacement of municipal infrastructure components will be the cost of construction, if new, or the total estimated replacement cost divided by the remaining- number of years of the life of the component.

It should be the responsibility of the developer or property owner to extend all roadways and utilities from the existing City facilities to the site of development in accordance with all City standards and specifications or provide appropriate easements. It shall further be the responsibility of the developer or property owner to construct all streets and utilities to the furthest boundary of the property to be developed in order to facilitate future development.

The ability of the City to increase existing utility line capacities to meet the demands of growth is dependent upon the availability of funding. If the City’s ability to finance the necessary enlargement cannot keep pace with development, or if the improvements schedule does not mesh with that of the developer, it should be the responsibility of the developer to finance and construct City-approved alterations to the existing infrastructure sufficient to accommodate the development. In the event of this occurrence, it is recommended that the developer may possibly be reimbursed by the City through utility service connection fees for his/her development, provided the reimbursement doesn’t exceed the cost, including interest, of the improvements to the existing City system, nor does it exceed the value of the connection fees collected from the specific development.

If the developer bears the costs of extending services and/or utilities, a Developer’s Extension Agreement could be applied between the developer and the City. This agreement, often with terms of not to exceed ten (10) years, allows the

developer to recoup costs associated with the extension of services or utilities by charging future entities wishing to connect to or use the extended service or utility a “Latecomer’s Fee.” A Developer’s Extension Agreement sets forth the specific parcels which could benefit from the extension (those within a described “design area”) and specify the amount to be assessed to each parcel. The specific parcels and assessments to be included in the Developer’s Extension Agreement would be subject to approval by the City Council.

The late-coming customer could pay the extender a pro-rata share of the extension costs, including design and inspection fees. The pro-rata share may be based on lot area, front footage, or other means agreeable to both the City Council and the developer which is equitable to both parties as well as future customers.

If the City requires the customer or developer extending a sewer or water line to install a larger size than that required by City standards for a particular project, the City Council will determine whether the City will participate in financing the oversizing of infrastructure.

The City should also reserve the right to further extend sewer or water mains installed by the preceding developer or property owner without paying compensation. The City should also reserve the right to charge future sewer or water utility users beyond those areas identified in the Developer’s Extension Agreement, if applicable, for their pro-rated share of the City’s cost for the oversizing of the line. This won’t exclude the developer’s right to collect service line connection fees within the limits of a Developer’s Extension Agreement. In the case of water lines, the pro-rata cost will be based on the domestic capacity plus fire flow capacity existing at the point of extension as opposed to the domestic plus fire flow capacities required by the development.

Financing the construction of new streets in a proposed development, or the upgrading of streets in an existing developed area, is recommended to be accomplished in one, or a combination of, the following methods:

• In an undeveloped area, the developer should be required to provide all necessary right-of-way, or additional right-of-way, if less than adequate right-of-way exists.

• The developer should be required to bear the cost of constructing all improvements within the right-of-way in accordance with City’s Standards for Design and Construction, and the City of Carlisle Subdivision Regulations.

Page 20

• Through the formation of a Special Improvement District (S.I.D.).

• Federal or State grant or loan funds.

• Available State fuel tax funds.

Connection and user fees for properties located outside the City limits for sewer and water services should be charged in accordance with rates, charges and tariffs as may be adopted by ordinance or resolution by the City Council.

As new City streets are constructed, and as existing streets are improved, storm drainage infrastructure should also

be installed or improved to City standards. It should be the responsibility of the developer to convey storm water from their property to an appropriate point of disposal. The quantity and rate of runoff from a developed parcel cannot exceed that which would occur had the property remained undeveloped.

For the purposes of fire, police, and all general government services, the tax burden for these services shall be shared by all city taxpayers.

VI. Study Findings and ConclusionsThe following statement summarize key findings from the study.

1. Carlisle’s population is projected to grow at a steady pace, at a slightly higher rate of growth over the next 30 years in comparison to the past. This is due in part to the updated demographic forecasts provided by the DMAMPO regional economic model’s assignment of future growth for the entire Des Moines Metro Area, and Carlisle’s close proximity to other fast-growing or developing/redeveloping areas within 30 minutes travel time of the community.

2. An official land absorption analysis by type of use has not been completed for this assignment, but it is assumed for the purposes of this study that projected population totals likely cannot be accommodated within the current Carlisle city limits.

3. Approximately 41 percent of the Study Area is considered to be developable, without natural environment constraints or property ownership or use restrictions.

4. According to the City’s Current Comprehensive Plan, it is not inconsistent with the plan’s policies and recommendations to plan for future growth if the needs warrant and the community is in a position to act responsibly on those needs.

5. The City of Carlisle supports a Vision for staged growth over the next 20+ years, but recognizes there are challenges to be addressed along the way:

a. More than half of the responses from property owners surveyed indicated a general preference to maintain current farming practices, either by themselves or by others and future generations.

b. Regional government agencies support the notion of planned growth in Carlisle, but cost participation and resource sharing is unknown and will require further exploration.

c. Developers generally support long-range growth planning in Carlisle, but also want “rooftops” (housing) before other types of higher tax revenue generating properties, along with higher-density, more affordable housing and lower development costs more comparable to other metro area cities.

6. New local interchange access from IA 5/US 65 can be safely designed and accommodated between existing interchanges to help provide for new private property access and orderly land development near the highway.

7. Municipal sanitary sewer and water service extensions in the planned growth area will add demands on existing facilities over time, including water and wastewater treatment facilities, sewage lift and water pumping stations, stormwater management systems, and associated infrastructure.

8. Similarly, existing city or contracted services, including solid waste and recycling collection, Fire/EMS, law enforcement, and park and recreation area needs will require independent evaluations to assess impacts of long-range growth and expansion of these facilities and services. These evaluations will need to include new employee salary and benefit costs, capital purchases and leased equipment, maintenance expenses, legal fees and insurance, etc.

9. Dividing the Study Area into 10 growth phasing focus areas will allow the City to follow a plan and concentrate resources over a period of time, and help guide the process to initiate voluntary and involuntary annexation proceedings.

Page 21

VII. Recommended Action StepsFrom the Growth Management Study findings, the following short- and long-term action steps are recommended:

SHORT TERM (0 - 5 YEARS) � Broaden the Visioning exercise from the Growth

Management Study and consider completing a Strategic Planning Exercise to create value statements on how it wants to position itself for and guide new growth in the community.

� Initiate an update to the Carlisle Comprehensive Plan, last edited, amended and approved in 2010. The update should include a focus on planned growth and address appropriate growth management issues from this study.

– Through Comprehensive Plan stakeholder outreach activities, continue to engage landowners in meaningful discussions about the City’s long tern plans for growth and future development.

� Maintain a record of property owners that are interested in annexation and contact information, and also plan to check back with others to determine if interests/plans may have changed.

� Continue working with the Warren County Economic Development Corporation to attract new business opportunities and investment interests in the community.

– Consider contracting for services, or hiring a part-time or full-time City staff person to focus on economic development coordination duties for the community.

� Coordinate growth planning activities with adjacent jurisdictions and State agencies,

including Warren and Polk Counties, the City of Des Moines, Iowa DOT, and Iowa DNR. Initiate discussions with these jurisdictions related to infrastructure or other public facility/service cost sharing participation.

� Evaluate development review processes and research other Metro area communities to determine policies and procedures that may benefit from changes to encourage development. Work to gradually change and implement any modifications.

LONG TERM (5 – 10+ YEARS) � Plan and provide capital improvement budget

funding for future infrastructure funding, including master plans for a water system study, sanitary sewer, and stormwater management in association with planned growth.

� Work with the DMAMPO and Iowa DOT to advance the project development process for a new local service interchange on Iowa 5/US 65. This would include securing interest from project partners, determining access change conformity, and completion of additional studies and funding to advance the design, land acquisition, and construction of the project.

� Reevaluate the results of the priority phasing schedule identified in this study and determine if modifications are needed based on new information, and implement.

To Whom It May Concern:

The City of Carlisle is currently conducting a planning process to study the long-term feasibility of sustained growth for our community.

We are partnering with planning consultants from Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) to conduct this Growth Management Study which will help city leaders plan for the future and continue the exciting progress Carlisle has seen in recent years.

Part of this planning process includes learning more about the parcels of land outside Carlisle’s current city limits which may present opportunities for future development and/or incorporation into the City of Carlisle. To help us conduct this research, we invite you to complete the enclosed questionnaire to help us better understand the ownership, history, and future plans for the parcel(s) of land you own. For your reference, we have included a map to illustrate the long-term conceptual growth area which is being studied as a part of the current planning process.

If you prefer, you may also respond to the questionnaire by email or phone – please contact Lucas Casey with SEH at [email protected] or 515-608-6004 (please leave a message with your name and phone number and Lucas will return your call). As always, you are free to contact me or City Administrator Andy Lent if you have questions about the Growth Feasibility Study or other Carlisle-related matters.

Thank you for any information you are able to provide as we do our best to plan responsibly for our community’s future. And please know, you are a valued member of the Carlisle community – we look forward to opportunities to work together in the future.

Sincerely,

Ruth Randleman Mayor

Study Finding and Conclusions, Cont.

Challenges to growth:Responding landowners seem to be content “as is”Carlisle’s future growth is supported regionally - but

with unknown cost participation and resource sharing

Developers want more “rooftops”, higher density development, and lower development costs

Study Finding and Conclusions, Cont.

A new Highway 65/5 interchange would help provide orderly development in a prime location

Utility extensions will require evaluations of capacity, distribution, and storage facilities

Additional evaluations needed – park and recreation, city/contracted services for solid waste, fire/EMS, law enforcement, etc.

10 growth areas can guide your priorities to developers

Recommended Action Steps – Short Term

Move from Vision to Strategic PlanningUpdate the Carlisle Comprehensive PlanMaintain a record of interested property owners

and check back over time to see if others are interested in selling or developing

Hire dedicated economic development resourcesCoordinate planned growth with neighboring

jurisdictions and interested agenciesConsider modifying development review

processes to make costs more competitive with other Metro cities

Recommended Action Steps – Long Term

CIP budgeting for special studies to determine need for future capital improvements

Form partnerships with Iowa DOT, DMAMPO, Polk County, and others to develop a new US 65/IA 5 Interchange and associated local roadway improvements

Make the study sustainable – revisit it and modify as needed over time

OLD AND NEW BUSINESS & POSSIBLE ACTION Mayor Pro-Tem Goodhue opened the public hearing at 6:56 pm, a Public Hearing on the City of Carlisle FY2018-19 Budget. Lent and Becker noted that no written or oral comments were submitted. Norm Metcalf, Norwalk resident and former Carlisle citizen, inquired about the Local Option Sales Tax and if the unincorporated areas passed the tax how it would affect the amount the city uses for Public Safety. Lent replied if passed, the city would have to levy for a portion of the bond note that paid for the fire station addition and vehicles. He has shared this information with Council. Metcalf also asked about the backfill and Lent replied that the city could lose around $48,000 if they lost the backfill and that he shared this information with Council earlier. Lent noted that no changes in the FY2019 budget would be needed for the FY2019 budget if either of these situations take place. Motion by Van Ryswyk, seconded by McCulloch to close the public hearing at 7:04 pm. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. Motion by Hammerand, seconded by Doughty to approve Resolution 2018031201, A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR FY 2018-19. Ayes: Hammerand, Doughty, Van Ryswyk. Nays: Goodhue, McCulloch. Motion passed. Mayor Pro-Tem Goodhue opened the public hearing at 7:06 pm, A Public Hearing on School Street, Phase 1 Special Assessments. Lent noted that no formal written or oral comments were submitted. Andrew Burke from Snyder and Associates spoke to Council regarding the School Street project. He gave a brief overview and noted that the Council made revisions to the design. Originally sidewalks were five foot wide, set back from the curb. With changes the sidewalks will be four feet wide at the back of the curb which did reduce a few assessments and adjusted some of the driveway quantities which reduced some of those assessment costs as well. The design is 95 percent done so the next process is the public hearings with the assessments and continue with final design. He explained they will get information out to the contractors late March with bid letting on 12 April 2018. Jon Lins, 605 School Street submitted written comments to Council. Motion by Hammerand, seconded by Van Ryswyk to receive and file paperwork. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. Lins asked Council if he could make the sump pump connection through their contractor while the trench was open rather than wait until after the project and the sidewalk is replaced. Burke replied that it depends on the staging of the construction. Burke noted that it would not be through the city project and they would have to work with the property owner. There was continued discussion from Council regarding the sump pump hook up and the location for future connections. Lins asked how the assessment would go onto the taxes and Lent explained that the homeowner will get a notice from the city that the homeowner could pay without interest in 30 days or the amount could be spread out over ten years with interest 2% over the bond note. Kathy Thompson spoke on behalf of her mother Phyllis Mann, 720 School Street. Thompson explained that her mother has a back-flow preventer and questioned why she would need a sump pump connection. Council explained that the back-flow deals with sanitary sewer and the sump pump deals with storm water and that there was not a connection between the two. Thompson noted that her mother does not have issues with water in her basement and questioned why they would need a sump pump. There was continued discussion regarding homes that do not have water issues in their basements and if they were required to put in the sump pump connection. John Peno, 700 School Street expressed concerns why he has to put in a sump pump connection as he has never had water in his basement. Peno asked if there would be rebar in the sidewalk and Burke replied that there would be no rebar and that non-reinforcement was standard. Council asked Burke if there was a disadvantage to not having citizens connect if they did not have a sump pump. Burke noted that if they

did decide to hook up later they would have to remove the sidewalks and excavate to install the connection and the homeowner would have to pay for all work done. Barbara Bishop, 825 School Street told Council that she appreciates them listening to her. She did express concerns about putting in a sump pump connection because she has never had issues with water in her basement. Council continued to discuss the sump pump hook ups and who would be eligible. Burke explained to Council that the Notice to Bidders will go out on 26 March 2018 and that everything needs to be finalized by then. Council noted that they would move forward with the plan and those without sump pumps will not be assessed and those with sump pumps will be required to put in a connection. Stuyvesant will create an ordinance with appropriate language regarding hooking up sump pumps. Motion by Hammerand, seconded by McCulloch to close the public hearing at 7:46 pm. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote Motion by Van Ryswyk, seconded by McCulloch to approve Resolution 2018031202, A RESOLUTION WITH RESPECT TO THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY PROPOSED FOR THE SCHOOL STREET IMPROVEMENTS - PHASE 1 FROM HIGHWAY 5 FRONTAGE ROAD TO N. 5TH STREET. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote Motion by Van Ryswyk, seconded by McCulloch to approve Resolution 2018031203, A RESOLUTION DIRECTING PREPARATION OF DETAILED PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, FORM OF CONTRACT AND NOTICE TO BIDDERS ON THE SCHOOL STREET IMPROVEMENTS - PHASE 1 FROM HIGHWAY 5 FRONTAGE ROAD TO N. 5TH STREET. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. Burke explained that City code requires an ordinance to establish the grade along School Street. Motion by Goodhue, Seconded by McCulloch to Approve the First Reading and wave the second and third reading of ORDINANCE 749 ESTABLISHING THE GRADE OF THE SCHOOL STREET IMPROVEMENTS, PHASE 1 PROJECT BEGINNING AT THE FRONTAGE ROAD TO WEST 5TH STREET, CITY OF CARLISLE, WARREN COUNTY, IOWA. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. Lent explained that the cities of Indianola, Norwalk and Carlisle are entering into a Memorandum of Understanding with Warren County to set a cost of $90 per arrestee for the county to transport and house the arrestee outside of the county. The cost will cover the transport and first night of housing. Council discussed making changes to the Resolution to reflect that the transport and housing charges are only effective during the time that the county does not have a jail. Motion by McCulloch, seconded by Doughty to approve Resolution 2018031205, A RESOLUTION APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARLISLE, IOWA AND WARREN COUNTY, IOWA with changes to reflect that transport and housing charges are only effective during the time the county does not have a jail. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote Motion by Goodhue, seconded by Van Ryswyk to approve SETTING TIME AND PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PURPOSE OF SOLICITING WRITTEN AND ORAL COMMENTS ON THE CITY’S PROPOSED SECOND AMMENDMENT TO FISCAL YEAR 2017-2018 BUDGET on 9 April, 2018 at 6:30 pm. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote

Lent explained to Council that Anthony Rhinehart’s change from line employee to Operator in Charge give him highest seniority in the water/wastewater department besides the Public Works Superintendent. Motion by Van Ryswyk, seconded by Hammerand to approve Increase in Pay for Anthony Rhinehart to $18.70 per Hour Effective 11 March 2018. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR

Motion by Goodhue seconded by Van Ryswyk to remove from Table and Consider to Receive and File the FY2017 Audit. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. Mayor Pro-Tem Goodhue spoke on behalf of Mayor Merrifield in his absence. Merrifield noted that it states in the audit that they acknowledge the answers given to the auditor that they are viable answers and it just acknowledges that an answer was given and accepted. Merrifield noted that it does not make it right. Merrifield also questioned why the city had items brought up this year that were mentioned last year. The auditor noted that the city gave viable answers previously and questioned why the items showed up again. Merrifield also questioned the comment on the credit card charges. Stuyvesant noted that he called the State Auditor’s office regarding the segregation of duties and that the report specifically mentioned Friends of the Library, Library Foundation, Carlisle Fire Enterprise and the Police Auxiliary and that it appears that these groups are entities of the City. Stuyvesant clarified with the auditor that they are stand-alone organizations with their own finances and that the city has no control over their finances. Stuyvesant also spoke to the auditor about the comments concerning Councilmember Goodhue and Sandridge Farms. Stuyvesant told the auditor that Goodhue abstains from any vote concerning Sandridge Farms and let Council know that his parents own the company and his siblings are connected with the business. Motion by Hammerand, seconded by Van Ryswyk to Receive and File the FY2017 Audit. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote

Lent explained that the Local Option Sales Tax passed in the Polk County side of Carlisle by a vote of 5-3 and that Carlisle will receive around $28,000.00. Public Works interviewed three people for the water/wastewater position and should have the position filled on March 26. The Police department held interviews for the clerical position and will likely do a second interview with the top three or four. The last police officer position would be filled in April. Lent noted that the Electric and street light installation in Scotch Ridge are on target for May 1.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS

Merrifield requested that a council member attend the MAC meeting in his place Tuesday morning on the 13th. McCulloch volunteered to attend.

Hammerand discussed the sump pump connections and noted that he doesn’t want to burden homeowner’s unnecessarily. Stuyvesant mentioned that he will work on the Ordinance to read that it would pertain to connections during projects. Hammerand asked for feed-back from Council on the charts and statistics that were received from the library.

Doughty noted concern regarding the sump-pump connections and that there could be a possible price jump from contractors if the city requires some to install and others to not. Doughty also mentioned that

Cory Allison received the 2018 Assistant Elementary Principal of the Year Award. Doughty spoke with clients that are considering moving to Carlisle vs. South East Polk because of that.

Goodhue noted that he will attend the Des Moines Greater Partnership trip to Washington, D.C on May 9-11.

McCulloch mentioned that a person approached him regarding the Local Option Sales Tax passing in Carlisle and that they had concerns for businesses. McCulloch also mentioned the removal of trees in the right-of-ways by the bypass north of Carlisle.

Financial Statements For the Period Ended

January 31, 2018

Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska Financial Statements

January 31, 2018 Table of Contents Page Balance Sheets 1 Statement of Revenues and Expenses – Actual vs. Budget 2 Statement of Revenues and Expenses – Actual vs. Prior Year 3 Statements of Cash Flows 4 Charts of Selected Financial Results 5 MEAN Overall Financial Results: Net revenue/(loss) in January was $1,332,000 compared to a budget of $161,000 for a positive variance of $1,171,000. A positive variance in Net Nonoperating Revenues/(Expenses) of $32,000 consisting primarily of increased investment return contributed to the positive net revenue variance. See below for further explanation of operating variances. Operating Revenues – Operating revenues for January were $12.3M compared to a budget of $11.2M, 10.5% greater than budget. Revenues from Participant energy sales were greater than budgeted by $0.3M. Energy sales revenues from non-participants were greater than budgeted by $0.9M. More MWh’s were sold in the East and the West due to favorable market conditions. Electric Energy Costs – Total electric energy costs for January were $9.0M compared to a budget of $8.8M, 2.4% greater than budget. Purchased Power expenses for January were nearly identical to budget at $6.6M. Significant components of purchased power expense include:

Contracted Purchases MWhs purchased from contracted resources were less than budget by 2.2% primarily due to decreased

MWh generation from WEC 2. The overall $/MWh was less than budget by 3.7%. The combination of these factors decreased contracted purchases costs.

o The decrease in WEC 2 MWh generation led to a direct decrease in fuel costs. Due to timing of capital projects capital additions was under budget. In addition, WEC 2 debt service was under budget due to released funds from the debt service reserve fund.

o Fairbury’s committed facility was decommissioned in February 2017 leading to savings in capacity payments. This variance from budget will continue throughout the fiscal year.

These costs were slightly offset by the following: o WEC 2 O&M expenses were greater than budget due to boiler plant maintenance. o NPPD bills on a budgeted calendar year. Costs for CNS were greater than budget in January due

to NPPD’s 2018 budget being higher than anticipated. This variance will continue for the remainder of 2017-2018. NPPD does the same billing methodology for GGS and Ainsworth, however, the cost increase anticipated with those resources were close to budget.

o Increased wind MWh generation led to a direct increase in contracted energy expense.

Market Activity Energy needs of Participants were greater than budget as noted above. This led to the total MWhs

purchased for load in the RTO markets to also be greater than budget. $/MWh was greater than budget in both MISO & SPP. This resulted in a net increase in total costs for purchases for load compared to budget.

o MISO MWhs purchased were greater than budget at a greater $/MWh for higher costs. o SPP MWhs purchased were greater than budget at a greater $/MWh for higher costs.

Market MWh purchased in MISO were greater than budget and at a greater $/MWh as a result of market conditions resulting in an increase in expenses over budget. Market MWh purchased in SPP were greater than budget and at a greater $/MWh resulting in an increase in expenses over budget. Overall, this contributed to the increase in sales to non-participants noted above.

Market MWh purchased in the West were greater than budget at a lower $/MWh resulting in a decrease in expenses over budget.

Generation sales revenues received, which partially offset energy expense of related generation, were significantly greater than budget.

o MISO units (WSEC4, WSEC4 Assignment and Louisa) net generated more MWhs than budget and $/MWh received were greater than budget. Overall, this led to an increase in MISO generation sales revenues received compared to budget.

o SPP Market (IM) units (WEC1, PPGA WEC2, PPGA WEC2 Assignment and Wessington Springs) net generated less MWhs than budget but $/MWh received were greater than budget. This resulted in an increase in SPP generation sales revenues received compared to budget.

o SPP Market (BL) units (LRS Unit 1, NPPD CNS, NPPD GGS and NPPD wind facilities) net generated less MWhs than budget but $/MWh received were greater than budget for a net increase in generation sales revenues received compared to budget.

Production expenses for January were nearly identical to budget at $1.7M. Significant components of production expense include:

Produced MWhs generated from owned resources were 1.0% greater than budget but $/MWh was 4.4% less than budget.

o Wygen I fuel costs were less than budget due to decreased MWh generation and coal costs are less than anticipated.

o WSEC O&M was greater than budget due to increased boiler plant and electric plant maintenance.

Transmission expenses for January were $780,000 compared to a budget of $527,000, 48.0% greater than budget. Significant variances include:

NITS – Increased costs for WAPA LAPT NITS due to transition to MEAN acting as a transmission agent for a Participant.

Point-to-Point – Long Term expenses were greater than budget due to costs related to transmission paths between SPP and MISO that were renewed. This variance will continue for the remainder of 2017-2018.

Point-to-Point – Short Term expenses vary from budget due to market conditions and availability of the Sidney tie. Availability of the Sidney tie allowed for greater usage of the Sidney tie in January compared to budget resulting in additional costs.

Transmission in Dispute – Transmission costs related to an ongoing transmission dispute are being recorded as an expense while the dispute is in litigation resulting in additional costs compared to budget.

Other - A credit was received from WAPA related to the months the Wind Project at Kimball was inoperable.

Operating Income/(Loss) – January operating income/(loss) was $1,897,000 compared to a budget of $759,000 for a positive variance of $1,138,000.

Legislative and Regulatory Updates

Week #10 March 19, 2018

In the News…

It was a tumultuous week at the Capitol. On Monday morning around 10:00 a video was published in Iowa Starting Line, a progressive political blog, that showed Majority Leader Bill Dix kissing a lobbyist at the Waveland Tap in Des Moines. This video set off a firestorm in Iowa and was picked up by the national and even international news outlets. This video in addition to Dix’ handling of the $1.75 million sexual harassment lawsuit against the Senate Republican caucus was too much for him to overcome. Dix resigned his Leadership post and his Senate seat effective at 2:00 Monday afternoon and all traces of him were gone from his desk on the floor and his office by that time.

On Wednesday, the Senate Republicans elected new leaders. Senator Jack Whitver, former Senate President, was elected Majority Leader and Charles Schneider was elected Senate President. Schneider is also Chair of the Appropriations Committee and is said to be remaining in that position until the end of session. Senator Amy Sinclair was elected Senate Majority Whip.

The Governor set the special election for Dix’ Senate seat for April 10. Democratic candidate, Tracy Freese had filed to run against Dix this Fall so has been out and about in the district for several months already. The Republican candidate will be former Representative Annette Sweeney.

Friday March 16 was the deadline for filing papers to run for reelection in 2018. The following current legislators are NOT running for reelection:

o 12 House Republicans: Chip Baltimore, Clel Baudler, Kristi Hagar, Dave Heaton, Greg Heartsill, Chuck Holz, Dawn Pettengill, Ken Rizer, Larry Sheets, Rob Taylor, Guy VanderLinden and Ralph Watts. The House has 59 Republicans right now –20% of the House R’s have decided not to run again.

o 4 House Democrats Abby Finkenauer (running for Congress), Jerry Kearns, Helen Miller, and Todd Taylor (running for Senate)

o 2 Senate Republicans Rick Bertrand and Mark Chelgren o 3 Senate Democrats Bob Dvorsky, Wally Horn and Matt McCoy

Legislative Update

Utility Bills

SF 2311 - Omnibus Energy bill. On Thursday, the House Commerce Committee amended SF 2311 and passed it out of Committee on a partisan vote. The amendment removes the troubling energy efficiency opt-out provisions, including the large industrial opt-out. It caps IOU EE spending at 2%. NMPP Energy is FOR the bill.

SF 2235/HF 2394– Defines critical infrastructure to include electric, gas, water, wastewater, and telecommunications and creates a new Class B felony for a person to intentionally sabotage such infrastructure. NMPP Energy is FOR these bills Taxes

SF 2383 – Senate Tax Plan. The Senate’s $1B Tax Plan is not expected to move forward in the House. Although it is likely that parts of the bill will be incorporated into the final tax agreement.

P a g e | 2

HSB 671 - House Plan/Governors Tax Bill. This bill lowers income tax rates by $1.7 billion by 2023. The bill has been voted out of subcommittee. Next step is House Ways and Means, subcommittee Chair is Peter Cownie.

Bills Affecting Cities

SF 2081 – Phase-out property tax reimbursement - backfill. This bill would take 1/3 of the backfill for the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. The bill would phase out city property tax reimbursement by 1/3 beginning July 2018, 2/3 beginning July 2019 and by July 1, 2020 will be completely repealed. The total appropriation for the backfill in 2017 was around $154 million.

HSB 678 – House version of Backfill Phase-out. A bill was filed in House Appropriations to reduce the backfill amount over the next four years until it stabilizes in FY 2022 at $25million per year thereafter. The first reduction would occur in FY 19 and would be a 1/3 percent loss to cities.

SF 2155 – Allows additional investment time for cities who have excess operating funds. Voted out of House State Government this week.

HF 2369 – Changes election dates from 4 dates per year for local option sales tax and bond referendums to only one election date – the date of the general election in November. Passed Senate State Government.

BILLS that DIED in the Second Funnel:

SF 2380 - Requires the state building code commissioner to adopt new energy code standards by July 1, 2018 that are based on the international energy code, 2018 edition - although the Council can modify the requirements.

BILLS to the Governor: HF 2307 – A bill that Iowa American Water offered to allow them the ability to do advance rate-making when acquiring a city water or wastewater utility. IAMU worked out an agreed-to amendment that creates a process for sale of any city utility.

Regulatory Update IAC-2018-1511 – Interstate Power and Light filed its 2017 Alternate Energy Production Annual Report Iowa Administrative Code 199— 15.11(3), requires the filing of an annual report listing nameplate megawatt capacity and associated monthly megawatt-hours purchased from and associated dollars paid to alternate energy production facilities. IAC-2018-1517 – Interstate Power and Light filed its 2017 Annual Green Pricing Report. 199 IAC 15.17(4) requires rate-regulated utilities to submit an extensive annual filing detailing renewable energy information. RPU-2017-0001 – IPL Rate Increase. On February 15, OCA filed a Motion for Rehearing or Reconsideration of IUB’s Final Decision granting IPL a $130 million rate increase. OCA alleged that the Board erred in approving the settled revenue requirement because it was calculated using a 35% federal corporate income tax rate instead of the 21% tax rate which is now in effect. OCA alleges that if the Board does not recognize current federal tax law when setting rates, IPL’s customers will be substantially overcharged.

P a g e | 3

On Friday March 16, the Board filed an Order Denying OCA’s motion basically stating that IPL is required to file additional information in Docket No. INU-2018-0001 regarding federal tax changes. “[T]he Board does not intend to preclude consideration of any issues relating to how IPL will propose to return the benefits of the [tax] Act to its customers.… IPL is required to file with the Board a proposal addressing how it will provide the benefits of the 2018 federal tax rate reduction. That proposal is expected to include an associated tariff. The Board anticipates that if IPL files a tariff, it would be suspended and docketed for review by the Board and comment by OCA and other parties. That will be the vehicle for consideration of issues relating to IPL’s proposed method of returning the benefits of tax reform to customers, including how the refunds are calculated and allocated. Consequently, the Board will deny OCA’s Motion for Rehearing.” At p. 12. MEAN Legislators:
