INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT 196 ROSEMOUNT-APPLE VALLEY-EAGAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT 196 ROSEMOUNT-APPLE VALLEY-EAGAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Public Schools is proposing a single question bond referendum on November 3, 2015 authorizing a 10 year capital projects levy to fund technology-related upgrades and the issuance of $130,000,000 in bonds to fund facility improvement projects. The capital project levy would raise $5,000,000 on the Payable 2016 levy. The annual levy amount for the following nine years would be computed by multiplying 3.23% times the preceding year’s NTC and would be authorized to be certified annually. The estimated total cost of the projects to be funded over the ten year period is $50,000,000. The school board is aware that capital projects levy proceeds are only authorized to fund projects eligible under Minn. Stat. § 126C.10, subd. 14. Some of the proposed technology-related projects include: • individual learning devices • ITV classroom maintenance • software, licenses and maintenance agreements • technology staffing • network infrastructure The total cost of the proposed facility improvement projects, including bond is $130,000,000. The largest single project component is a new 83,000 square foot elementary school to be built in the south-central portion of the school district. Other proposed projects include: elementary additions and renovations, additions to Rosemount High School, additions and renovations at multiple attendance centers for dedicated STEM programming and security upgrades throughout the district. The school board believes the proposed projects are in the best interest of the district. The projects would be scheduled for completion in the 2016 - 2018 calendar years. Cost estimates by project type/location are as follows: Elementary Additions o Cedar Park 6,600 Square Feet $2,065,000 o Diamond Path 5,200 Square Feet $2,370,000 o Glacier Hills 2,200 Square Feet $865,000 o Echo Park TBD $2,500,000 o Oak Ridge TBD $2,500,000 o Parkview 4,900 Square Feet $1,520,000 o Other -TBD 9,735 Square Feet $3,025,000 $14,845,000 Elementary Renovations o Parkview 15,000 Square Feet $3,002,500 o Diamond Path 15,000 Square Feet $3,002,500 $6,005,000 New Elementary School o New Construction 83,000 Square Feet $25,564,000 o Land $4,200,000 $29,764,000 Rosemount Hieh School Additions o Music Space 4,000 Square Feet $3,120,000 o Circulation / Entry Areas 8,000 Square Feet $3,757,000 $6,877,000 STEM Pathways Schools o Construction (Cedar Park, Valley MS, Apple Valley HS) o Renovations (5 Middle Schools) o FF&E Districtwide o Security Equipment o Secure Entrance Upgrades o Reconfigure / Expand Parking Lots o Bond Funded Technology Improvements o Bond Issuance Costs

Stat. § 123B.53, Subd. 3, if the bond schedule is approved. The amount of debt service equalization aid, if any, the district receives is determined annually and is dependent upon property wealth, student population, and other statutory requirements.

EUREKA TOWNSHIP DAKOTA COUNTY STATE OF MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 2015-02 SOLAR MORATORIUM AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A TWELVE (12) MONTH MORATORIUM WITHIN THE TOWN ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS, SOLAR ENERGY FARMS AND FOR THEIR INSTALLATION USE IN THE TOWN OF EUREKA PURSUANT TO MINN. STAT. 462355. The Board of Supervisors of the Town of Eureka, Dakota County, Minnesota does hereby ordain: SECTION 1. FINDINGS. PURPOSE AND INTENT 1.01 Findings. Recent advances in Solar Energy Technology have resulted in a new generation of Solar Systems. These new Solar System Technology Services may require locations throughout the Town. These systems may be located on buildings, vacant land and other similar locations. Commercial Solar Energy System Service Providers are expected to pursue solar sites within the Town and these efforts are expected to include requests to construct new Solar Energy Systems. There is concern that current town ordinances do not adequately address issues relating to these systems. These issues include the appropri-
ate locations for these systems and the conditions under which they may be allowed within the Town, including structural and construction requirements, co-locations, setbacks, and height limitations. 1.2 Purpose. There is a need to study these and other issues to determine what regulatory controls may need to be adopted to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The Town Planning Commission has been directed to conduct studies regarding Solar Energy and Solar Energy Systems, but additional time is required for this purpose before proposals for amendments to the town zoning regulations can be prepared and considered at a public hearing. 1.3 Intent. The Town Board finds, therefore, that a moratorium is required in order to protect the planning process and to prevent the construction or enlargement of systems and the use and development of lands within the Town for such systems pending the completion of necessary studies and the consideration and implementation of new regulations on that subject. At the present time it is expected that the necessary study and implementation can be completed within a six (6) month period. SECTION 2. MORATORIUM ESTABLISHMENT. Scope definition of “Solar Energy System” 2.01 Establishment. In accordance with the findings set forth in the preamble of this Ordinance and pursuant to the authority of Minn. Stat. 462.355 (subd. 4) there is hereby established a moratorium on the construction, erection, placement, reconstruction, enlargement or expansion of Solar Energy Systems within the Town and on the development and use of the property for such purposes. During the period of the moratorium, application for final site and building plan approval, building permits, and other permits and approvals related to such solar work shall not be accepted by the Town. Neither the Planning Commission nor the Town Board shall consider or grant approval of any application required for such work and no building permits for such work shall be issued. SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS. 3.01. Definitions. For the purpose of the moratorium the term “Solar” shall pertain to all of the following: A. Rooftop or other Architectural-Integrated Solar Energy Systems: Systems which are accessory to the principal land use, designed to supply energy for the principal use. B. Ground-Mount Solar Energy Systems: Systems which are accessory to the principal use and design to supply energy for the principal use. C. Community Solar Energy Systems (Solar Gardens/CSES): Roof or Ground-Mount CSES’s designed to supply energy for offsite users on the distribution grid (but not for export to the wholesale market or connection to the electric transmission grid). D. Solar Farms: Ground-Mount Solar Energy Arrays which are the principal use on the property, which are designed for providing energy to off-site users or export to the wholesale market. SECTION 4. APPLICABILITY. 4.01 Applicability. This moratorium shall be applicable to property throughout the Town. SECTION 5. EXCEPTIONS. 5.01. Exceptions. This moratorium shall not apply to the following: 1. The lawful use of existing Solar Energy Systems or the lawful erection of Solar Panels on such existing Solar Energy Systems. 2. The repair and/or maintenance of any existing Solar Energy System provided that such work does not enlarge or expand that tower. 3. Working on a Solar Energy System necessary to preserve health, safety, life of property in the face of an emergency, and 4. Solar Energy Systems work that has received all necessary permits and approvals from the Town prior to the effective date of this Ordinance. 5. A Solar Energy System whose generating capacity does not exceed eight kilovolts and is designed for residential use. Each residential structure shall be limited to one Solar Energy System(s) whose collective generating capacity shall not exceed eight kilovolts. SECTION 6. PENALTIES. 6.01. Penalties. Any person, corporation or other entity that constructs, erects, places, reconstructs, enlarges or expands a Solar Energy System in violation of this Ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be subject to any additional legal or equitable remedies available to the Town. SECTION 7. EFFECTIVE PATE. 7.01. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect upon its adoption (September 14, 2015) and publication (September 24, 2015) and shall be effective for twelve (12) months from its effective date and shall expire at that time unless further extended or repealed at an earlier date.
