SUBJECT: Recorr�nended Revisions to Capital Allocation Policies
City Council will be reviewing the Planning Commission's recorr�nendations .
for revisions to St. Paul 's Capital Allocation Policies on Thursday,
January 4, 1979, at 10:00 A.M. in City Council Chambers.
The revisions recomnended by the Planning Commission are essentially the
same as those distributed on November 20, 1978 with the announcement of the
public meeting to hear input. The only additional modifications which were
made are:
1 . Add to Policy A the phrase "especially in those areas where
significant private investment is not currently occurring."
2. Include the years 1980 and 1981 in Policy R where they had
previously been recommended for deletion.
Copies of the policies adopted by City Council and relevant background
information will be distributed in January. Should you wish an additional
copy of the recommended policies at the present time, please call Tamsen
Aichinger of rrly staff at 298-4507.

CAPITAL ALIACATION POLICY -- RECOMMENDED REVISIONS
U Bond Financing:
1. The City will issue $6,500,000 in Capital Improvement Bonds in 1980.
When preparing the tentative Capital Improvement Program, �the maximum amount
of Capital Improvement Bonding and tax increment bonding for financing future
Xears' projects should not exceed $7,500,000 in 1981, $8,000,000 in 1982 and
$8,500,000 in 1983.
2. �;"!!.`-E�t*�-W3��-399tSC-��;69�;A89-�n-water-po��ntien-a3�ateatent-beads-�r�-�989-to- �
f�nar►ee-the-eeeend-pknse-ef-the-�he�nes-�a�e-seWer-pra3eet. Assuming the City
receives a grant for the second phase of the Thomas-Dale sewer project and
issues in 1979 the necessary Water Pollution Abatement Bonds to match the
grant, the maximum amount of WPA bonds to be issued in 1980 for the third
phase of the Thomas-Dale sewer project and storm water ponding projects is
$4,301,000. When preparing the tentative Capital Improvement Program, the
maximum amount of WPA bonds to be issued in 1981 for the fourth phase of the
Thomas-Dale sewer project and storm water ponding projects should not exceed
$3,520,000. After the completion of the Thomas-Dale sewer project, it is the
City's intention to finance sewer projects with fund sources other than Water
Pollution Abatement Bonds. ^
3. The City doe5 not intend to issue tax levy=supported bonds in 1980 for the
residential or commercial rehaYiilitation program, parking facilities, or
� urban renewal. At this time there is no anticipated need to sell rehab bonds
in the future years of the tentative Capital Improvement Program.
4. If tax increment bond-funded projects are developed, they must meet requirements
of Policy V "Tax Increment Financing Policy" before City Council will consider
issuing bonds. �

� _ 1 .0 SAINT PAUL CAPITAL ALLOCATION POLICY: 1980
The City of St. Paul 's annual capital improvement
budget and program is the result of a year-long process
called the Unified Capital Improvement Program and Budget
Process or UCIPBP. A set of capital allocation policies,
adopted by the St. Paul City Council , are used to guide
the recommendations and final decisions made through this
process.
I� 1978, twenty-two policies were adopted by City Council
for a three-year period: 1979, 1980, and 1981 . In
adopting policies for three years , it was understood that
there would be an annual review �o that appropriate
revisions could be made.
The policies which will be used in 1979 (resulting in a
budget and program for 1980) and a brief explanation of
key terms follow. The full document includes additional
chapters which present supporting information.
l.l DEFINITIONS AND TERMS The policies are divided into three categories: strategy
policies, implementation and development policies , and
budget and finance policies. Each category reflects a
separate level of policy.
Strategy policies set general direction for St. Paul.
Their rationale is based on citywide goals and a strategy
for reaching these goals adopted by City Council for the
three-year period.
Implementation and development policies focus more
specifically on the kinds of capital projects that will
be encouraged or discouraged given the limited resources
available to St. Paul for capital improvements.
Budget and finance policies address the various sources
of funds available to St. Paul for capital improvements,
when they will be used, and conditions that must be met
in order to use them. �
1 .1.1 TYPES OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Three terms which differentiate between broad types of
capital projects are used throughout the policies.
These terms are: service system, system support and
subsidy.
1
Most capital improvements fit into the service system
category. Service systems include the following
subsystems:
- Transportation: roads, bridges, curbing,
sidewalks, lighting, signals, signs, skyways,
parking
- Waste S stem: sanitary sewers, solid waste
faci ities, recycling facilities
- Water System-Supply and Removal : supply
distribution, storm sewers, ponds
- Safety: police stations , fire stations
- Leisure/Education/Culture/Environment: parks,
parkways, p aygrounds, recreation centers,
libraries, cultural centers , museums, trees,
special use facilities
System support activities improve the ability of the city
to deliver services. Examples of system support projects
include:
- headquarters and administrative offices
- training or educational facilities
- repair and maintenance facilities
- storage facilities
- communications facilities
- The final category, subsidy, reflects assistance given
to individuals or businesses as incentive for capital
improvements. Subsidey allocations include:
- loans
- grants
- acquisition and/or clearance
2
1 .1 .2 PRIORITY AREAS
Some of the policies refer to different types of
residential areas within St. Paul . The classification of
areas is based on the median income of each census tract
in comparison with the median income of the SMSA* and the
condition of the area as indicated in St. Paul 's
"Residential Improvement Strategy" . The result is as
follows:
Residential Improvement Category
Conservation Improvement
Median Income I & II I & II Improvement III
Less than 65%
of SMSA Other A Improvement III
65-79% of
SMSA Other B Improvement III'
80% or more
of SMSA Other C Improvement III
*Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area as defined by
the U. S. Department of the Census.
The policies also refer to "neighborhood revitalization".
This means coordination of a number of improvements in a
residential area in order to stimulate private investment
and, as a result, halt deterioration. Neighborhoods
suitable for such an effort are most likely to be found
within "A", "B", or Improvement III areas .
1 .2 THE POLICIES 1 .2.1 STRATEGY POLICIES
A It would be desirable for the City to take neighborhood
revitalization action aimed specifically at those areas
of deteriorated housing with the greatest potential for
attracting private reinvestment, especially in those
areas where significant private reinvestment is not
currently occurring.
B New allocation of both subsidy capital and capital for
service systems improvements in support of residential
and neighborhood improvement should follow this dis-
tribution:
3
% of Total Recommended
Residential % of Subsidy
Area Blocks Capital
A, B & Improvement III 30% 70-75%
All Other 70q 25-30%
C 1 .New service system capital improvements for neigh-
borhood betterment should support neighborhood
revitalization action aimed at those areas of
deteriorated housing with the greatest potential for
attracting private reinvestment (for example,
Identified Treatment Areas).
2•Furthermore, first priority for service system
improvements outside of areas chosen for neighbor-
hood revitalization should be in areas where the
poor condition of service systems can be demonstrated
to be depressing resale value of property or de-
terring maintenance investment of owners.
D 1. New allocations by the City of Saint Paul of both
subsidy capital and capital for service system
improvements in direct support of economic develop-
ment should emphasize complementing residential
revitalization (including District 77) as first
consideration.
2. Second consideration for city capital allocations in
direct support of economic development should be for
other commercial or retail reuse or revitalization,
including the downtown.
E (Not used)
F In order to assure a balanced approach to annual
capital allocation, total budget allocations and
tentative program commitments for new projects,
excluding special grants, costs born by other units
of government or the private sector and assessments
which are for a particular project, should approach
the following proportions:
q of Total
Category Available
Neighborhood Improvement 25-35%
Economic Development 20-30%
Citywide Service
Systems Improvement 35-45%
Support System Development 5-10%
4
G Not more than 20% of the monies budgeted each year,
excluding special grants, costs born by other units of
government or the private sector and assessments which
are for a particular project, should be for projects
in any one district.
LE EN N N ENT LICIE
H� The funding needs of capital improvement projects
which have received previous budget appropriations for
construction plans, acquisition and/or construction
phases, normally have priority over new projects.
I Generally, the City's service system will not be
expanded.
1. Within service system categories, rehabilitation of
the city's existing facilities takes priority over
the addition of facilities to the service system,
except where economy or efficiency factors or
planning considerations indicate that such rehabil-
itation is inadvisable.
2. Replacement of existing city service system
facilities takes priority over additions to the city's
system.
3. Additions to the city's service system take last
priority un1ess the addition brings the area where
it is located up to a standard of service which has
been officially adopted by the city as part of a plan
for the specific service system and budget policy
does not limit such funding. In such cases, the
addition of service system components has the same
priority as replacement of existing service systems.
J Generally, the City will budget acquisition funding
for new pro�ects under the following conditions:
1. Acquisition related to pr�vate development or reuse:
(housing or economic development) :
a. If there is a responsible developer with financing
comnitments in hand; and
b. If the proposed reuse is in conformance with
adopted city plans.
5
2.Acquisition related to public development or reuse:
a. If right-of-way or easements for service systems
are deemed necessary; or
b. If there are opportunities to complete parkland
assembly where parcels have been previously
identified for conversion to park use when they
become available; or
c. If the property being acquired has tax exempt
status and the proposed use has been clearly
identified and is consistent with adopted City
plans, policies, and priorities for capital
expenditure; or
d• If opportunities for special grant funding exist.
K Allocation of capital funds for economic development
proposals will be based on the merits of each proposal
and upon its ability to leverage private investment
dollars and obtain a return of increased property
taxes in accordance with the identified leverage and
return on investment guidelines.
1 .LEVERAGE GUIDELINES: Normal leveraging is 1 :6. In
ot er wor s, eac ollar the city provides for a
particular pro�ect should mean six capital dollars
committed by the developer. For example, the City
would normally anticipate providing no more than
$60,000 in public improvements to service systems
or in subsidy to a pro�ect valued at $360,000.
This ratio may go as low as 1 :3 if a given project
will have a major impact on a public goal . Examples
of such potentially worthwhile projects include:
a.Projects directly associated with neighborhood
revitalization efforts;
b.Projects which generate additional (not displace-
ment) employment within St. Paul ; and
c.Projects whose principal ob�ective is resource con-
servation or the development of alternative energy
sources.
2.�ETURN ON INVESTMENT GUIDELINES: Normal return on
nvestment s n ot er words, the city expects
to realize a direct return of 12� property taxes
for its participation in an economic development
project. If $75,000 in public improvements are
provided, tax receipts from the project should be
$9,000 per year more than they were before develop-
ment.
6
This return on investment may go as low as 4� if a
given project will have a major impact on a public
goal . Examples of such potentially worthwhile pro-
jects are given in 1 , above.
However, at a minimum, the tax ield from a roject
s ou cover the cost of any ad tional municipa
services required.
� L Tax abatement is discouraged as a development incentive.
However, it may be used to support projects that
• explicitly serve a public purpose. If used, abated
valuation in any year of the abatement period should
not be lower than the valuation of land and improve-
ments before the project is started increased at a 6%
rate compounded annually over the term of abatement.
M The selection of Identified Treatment Areas for neigh-
borhood revitalization will be made according to the
ITA guidelines adopted by the St. Paul City Council
as File Number 271322 on June 27, 1978. (Copies may
be obtained by calling 298-5586. )
N (Reserved for commercial revitalization policy. )
0 If the Downtown People Mover (DPM) is implemented, not
more than $6.0 million in City Capital Improvement
Bonds will be appropriated as cash to meet the 10%
City match which will be required by the federal grant.
P Diseased shade tree removal as a special allocation
will be concluded with the 1980 capital improvement
budget. Reforestation should continue at at least
5,000 trees per year throughout the 1980-1984 Capital
Improvement Program.
1Q Conditions for City participation in funding skyways :
1 .Funds will be budgeted only for skyway bridges that
are part of a firm package for development or
redevelopment of the benefitting buildings;
2,Normally, the City will fund only a portion of skyway
bridge construction. The developers and/or property
owners of benefitting buildings shall fund the entire
cost of skyway system construct�on within their
buildings;
3,The City will not participate in funding the
operation or maintenance of a skyway system unless
the City is the owner or developer of a benefitted
building.

2Q The City will consider budgeting funds for a site
pr�paration fund under the following conditions :
1. Funding is bud eted on a yearly basis with an initial
allocation of �50,000;
2.7he fund will only be used to prepare tax-forfeited
sites owned by the City or scattered si`�es formerTy
acquired by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
for clearance;
3•Site preparation will be undertaken only if a
developer has committed to buying the specific
parcel once it is prepared; and
4.No administra��:�� or operating cost� are paid from
the fund.
�.2.3 BUDGET POLICIES� ��~
R Given �he City`s fiscai constra�;,i,s it is desirahl� :to
allocate municipal capitai to projects in 1480 and 1981
which will not result jn a net increase in City
operating and maintenance responsibilities. At a
minimum, this means that:
1 .Essential facilities which can be financed and
operated by the City and another agency will 6e
given a high priority if they can be constru,cted and
operated at less cost than separate facilities.
2,Generally, there wi11 be no allocation of Eapital
for purchase or construction of facilities for
human services programs which are no� oper�ted b� �,he
City or for rehabilitation of human services fa�i�i-
ties which are not owned by the City in 1980, and
1981 . As an exception, those citywide facilit;ies
specifically provided for in NUD regulati.otis, as�
eiigible for Community Development B�ock,,:Grant�_funds
� may be considered. No CDBG monies will be,app.rq-, ,�
priate� to finance annual operation and main�enance
of human service facilities in 1980 and 19�1 .
3 ,New swimming pools will not be cons9dered for funding
in 1980 and 1981 .
,,�,E,
S The City wi11 annually budget for each pro��c�, �b��� .-v
only the estimated amount of money which .ca� rea�ona�iy
be expeCted to be expended within the budg�� yea�.�:
7he capital 9mprovement program will identif�r.fugds
required to complete the financing of a pro�ect ;j� P �,,
future years. This tentative commitment is sub3ect to
,
�
adoption by City Council of a Capital Improvement
Budget appropriation for the project.
T Determination of which fund source 9s most appropriate
_ for financing each of the City's budget priorities will
be made as follows:
1 .A11 street improvement projects on Municipal State
Aid, County Aid, or Minnesota Trunk Highway routes
will be considered for funding primarily with monies
allocated to the city specifically for those routes.
2.Capital improvements which are eligible for metro-
politan, State or Federal programs or private grants
should be so financed. CDBG and CIB monies may be
used to provide local matching funds, if appropriate.
3,Capital improvements which could be financed with
specific bonding authority may be so reco�nended if
City Council has indicated its intention to utilize
such authority;
4,Capital improvements and programs eligible for CDBG
funding will be so funded; and
S,Capital improvement which cannot be financed with
monies governed by paragraphs (1) through (4) will
be considered for CIB bond funding.
U Bond financing:
1,The C9ty will issue $6,500,000 in Capital Improve-
ment Bonds in 1980.
2 ,The City w111 issue $4,002,000 in water pollution
abatement bonds in 1980 to finance the second phase
of the Thomas-Dale sewer project.
3,The City does not intend to issue tax levy-supported
bonds in 1980 for the residential or comnercial
rehabilitation program, parking facilities, or
urban renewal .
' 4, If tax increment bond-funded pro�ects are developed,
they must meet requirements of Policy V "Tax
Increment Financing Policy" before City Council will
consider issuing bonds. ,

2.0 THE UNDERLYING RATIONALE FOR SAINT PAUL
CAPITAL ALLOCATION POLICY
Adopting a capital improvement budget is one of the
�os t important actions taken by city government.
Capital expenditures can have a significant effect on
the development or redevelopment of a city and its
neighborhoods. At the same time, legitimate capital
improvement needs invariably exceed the money available
to address them.
If a capital budget is going to meet the greatest needs
and have the most benefit for the �ity as a whole, a
method for determining the relative priority of projects
is required. Policies based on the goals and objectives
of a city help meet this requirement.
2.1 GOALS AND PRINCIPLES Two broad objectives form the basis for many of St.
Paul 's activities, including its capital expenditures.
City Council has adopted them as goals and Mayor Latimer
identified them as major objectives of his administration.
They are:
1 .To strengthen the city's neighborhoods in order to make
them better places to live; and
2.To strengthen the city's economic base in order to
provide jobs and services needed by residents of the city.
In addition, because capital improvement funds are
limited and because needs are great, the goals are
supplemented by three principles which relate specifically
to capital allocations:
1 .Critical needs which affect the basic protection of life,
health, or public safety take precedence over all other
capital expenditures;
2.Capital expenditures should be channeled to those areas
where there is the greatest opportunity for stimulating
private reinvestment and effecting measurable neighbor-
hood or economic improvement; and
3.Some capital funds should be made available to prevent
deterioration and blight in sound areas of the city and
to meet the need for improvements which benefit the
city as a whole.
2.2 IMPLEMENTATION OF GOALS In order to translate the goals and principles into
AND PRINCIPLES: IMPROVEMENT policies, the various types of projects which are typically
ACTIVITIES funded by the City as capital .improvements are divided into
three broad categories: improvements to service systems,
improvements to facilities which support the ability of
local government to offer services efficiently and effective-
ly, and subsidies for improvements to privately awned
property.
13
These three broad categories and examples of each .are
listed in Figure 1 . The subsidy and system support
categories are fairly limited. The service system
category is the largest of the three and is divided •
into subsystems.
The advantage of listing typical activities in this
manner is that it helps separate projects that are
directed toward individual or neighborhood needs from
those that serve a larger part of the comnunity or the
comnunity as a whole. Based on this differentiation,
the policy statements can identify appropriate activities
more concisely.
2.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF GOALS The second step in translating the goals and principles
AND PRINCIPLES: PRIORITY into policies is identification of those areas of the
AREAS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD city where there is the greatest opportunity to stimulate
IMPROVEMENT private reinvestment and effect measurable neighborhood
improvement. The role city government is able to play
must also be identified if policy is to provide �irection.
Many qualities contribute to strong, stable neighborhoods.
If the physical aspects are to enhance the stability of
a neighborhood, an adequate and steady level of time and
money is required. Providing these resources for main-
taining individual properties is the responsibility of
the owner. The City has responsibility for providing
adequate resources to those service systems which it owns
and operates.
However, in some cases property owners have been unable
to maintain their properties. Because the strength of
a city's neighborhoods and housing stock affects the
strength of the city as a whole, municipal assistance
to individual structures or areas which show some
deterioration may be justified.
2.3.1 HOUSING CONDITION/INCOME MAP
Given these premises, two factors are used to identify
those areas of the city that meet the intent of the goals
and principles: income and the condition of the housing
stock.
As a measure of income, the median family income of each
census tract is compared with the median family income of
the SMSA (Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area) and
divided into three categories: areas where the median
family income of the census tract is less than 65% of the
SMSA median family income, areas where it is between 65�
and 80% of the SMSA median family income, and areas where
it is 80% or more of the SMSA median family income. This
14
measure is the same as that required for expenditure of
Community Development Block Grant funds which must be
used primarily to benefit low and moderate income people.
Housing condition is based on St. Paul 's "Residential
Improvement Strategy". The "Residential Improvement
Strategy" , adopted as part of the city's comprehensive
plan in 1976, analyzes and classifies residential areas
of the city into five categories based on the percentage
of structures on each block which need major or minor
repairs . In addition to classifying areas, the
"Residential Improvement Strategy" establishes objectives
for each type of area and describes programs and
activities which could be used to conserve areas of
sound housing (conservation areas) , rehabilitate areas
of lightly deteriorated housing (Improvement I and II
areas) , and redevelop areas of badly deteriorated housing
(Improvement III areas) .
� of Structures
Needing Major % of Structures
Repair or Needing Minor
Beyond Repair Repairs Objectives
Conservation I 4 or less 4 or less Surveillance
Conservation II 4 or less 5 to 19 Intensive
Maintenance
Improvement I 5 to 19 20 to 81 Rehabilitation
Improvement II 20 to 39 80 or less Rehabilitation
and Neighbor-
hood Improve-
ment
Improvement III 40 or more 80 or less Major Neighbor-
hood Improve-
ment
The "Residential Improvement Strategy" reflects the position
of St. Paul government that the City' s capital allocation
decisions are important tactical moves for conserving and
maintaining the city's housing stock and that municipal
capital decisions can make a difference in neighborhood
confidence.
The result of combining these two factors is a housing
conditi�n/income map. The map shows where residential
improvements are most needed and where public assistance
may be necessary as impetus for either stabilization or
turnaround.

2.3.2 CLASSIFICATI N F PRIORITY AREAS
Assistance should go to areas where there is the greatest
opportunity for strengthening and stabilizing the neigh-
borhood. Two types of areas where municipal investment
is likely to have the greatest impact can be identified.
The first of these are called "fringe° areas .
Fringe areas are characterized by housing that is basically
sound but in need of some repairs . While some private
resources are available, they usually are not sufficient
to stabilize the area and preserve the housing stock.
Fringe areas are defined as lightly or moderately deterio-
rated areas where most of the residents have a median
family income which is less than 80� of the SMSA median
family income. These areas are labeled "A" and "B" on
the map. Ar.eas labeled "C" are similar in housing
condition and also require attention , but the higher
level of private resources mean that a lower level of
public incentives should be required.
Identification of the second type of area is more complex.
Throughout St. Paul there are areas where the housing is
deteriorated but also quite substantial . Concentrated
attention to these areas would serve to improve the
irrr�nnediate neighborhood and provide impetus for improve-
ments in surrounding blocks. Very often residents of
these areas are low or moderate income.
In order to bring about improvement, a large corr�nitment
of public resources may be necessary. However, once
initiated, private investment is likely to take over and
provide the resources necessary for stabilizing the
neighborhood over the long term. Such a commitment is
referred to as "neighborhood revitalization. " Neighbor-
hood revitalization implies a concentration of capital
improvements , along with other types of city services,
in a relatively small area as a means for inducing and
securing private investment in the area.
Neither the "Residential Improvement Strategy" nor the
map identify specific areas' which would be suitable for
neighborhood revitalization. Given the corr�nitment of
time and money required of the City and the neighborhood,
it is appropriate that areas be selected carefully and
that activities be carefully planned by residents them-
selves. Generally, these areas will be located within
"A" , "B", or Improvement III areas and will meet the
criteria adopted by City Council for the Identified
Treatment Area Program.
18
Other geographical areas also require attention. However,
they_ do not represent similar opportunities for improve-
ment based on public incentives because they are either
sound or, if deteriorated, would require extensive public
expenditure for acquisition, clearance, and redevelopment
before they could be made attractive for private invest-
ment. Given very limited resources, it was decided that
for the near future St. Paul 's primary efforts should be
focused in those areas where significant improvement will
not require large-scale redevelopment and on completing
existing redevelopment projects.
`L.4 IMPLEMENTATION OF GOALS The intent of economic development activity is twofold:
AN D PRINCIPLES: THE CITY'S to increase the number of jobs and income for city resi-
ROLE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT dents and to expand the city's tax base so that reliance
on any one source is minimized. Specific steps to bring
about these changes include broadening the city's
industrial base; strengthening the downtown as a retail ,
commercial, convention and industrial center; strengthening
community commercial and retail centers; and promoting
local neighborhood economic development opportunities.
Public economic development activities in St. Paul consist
of a wide range of activities and incentives. They include
public improvements to support development; subsidy in the
form of land acquisition or preparation, tax abatement,
or special types of financing assistance; and the use of
municipal police powers, legislative authority, persuasive
pawers and technical assistance to neutralize stumbling
blocks to development.
These economic development tools are used by the City of
St. Paul and the Port Authority of St. Paul to achieve
shared economic development objectives. These objectives
are set by the City Council which approves Port Authority
bond issues and has two positions on the Authority Board.
Economic development actions of the Port Authority are
overseen and coordinated with those of the city by the
P1ayor through the Division of Economic Development of the
Department of Planning and Economic Dev�lopment.
In the past, the Port Authority has addressed itself
principally to industrial park development with some ex-
ceptions (assistance to United Hospitals, Inc. , Control
Data Corporation, and the Amtrak Station). The City, on
the other hand, has strongly promoted and assisted
downtown and neighborhood economic development. Recently,
the Port Authority has taken a somewhat larger role in
downtown development.
19
Expanding the Port Authority's role in downtown redevelop-
ment could be consistent with City Council economic
development strategy and objectives. With policy guidance
and planning from the City, the Authority could undertake
the acquisition, clearance, and preparation of land when
there is developer comnitment and generate
capital for development of such land through sale of�
revenue bonds.
This would reduce the need for city capital generated
through sale of general obligation bonds. It is the
City's intention to finance revitalization of downtown
with less reliance on general obligation bonds while
pursuing other forms of public financing to leverage
private funds. It would also permit St. Paul to expand
its economic development activities in areas other than
downtown. Economic development strategy for St. Paul
must carry commitment to a continuing level of downtown
revitalization. However, the City should geographically
broaden its economic stimulation and development efforts
to place gradually increasing emphasis on use of its
funds for development projects which: (1 ) more closely
ally with neighborhood revitalizat9on; and (2) promote
reuse or revitalization of existing comnercial or retai.l
areas.
Certain types of projects in downtown will continue to
require initial investment from the City to improve
their redevelopment potential. For example, service
systems improvements which cannot reasonably be made
part of a redevelopment project would continue to be
made by the City. But, as the downtown attracts more
developer activity, less municipal subsidy capital should
be needed to maintain reinvestment momentum.
If the Port Authority is to continue to expand its role
in dawntown redevelopment, an overall economic develop-
ment strategy must be developed by City Council and
followed by both the City and the Port Authority. Some
city financing tools , particularly those not available
to the Port Authority, may have to be used for project
preparation in downtown redevelopment. Tax increment
financing and development district bonding could also be
pressed into service for funding proposals under some
circumstances. But the Port Authority's revenue bonding
capability would provide most future funding for both
industrial development and downtown redevelopment.
20
2.5 IMPLEMENTATION OF Both•of St. Pau s goa s must e pursued if t e city is
GOALS AND PRINCIPLES: to remain a good place to live. There must also be
CITYWIDE BALANCE balance among geographical areas of the city. While
priorities must be set, each area of St. Paul is depend-
ent on other areas and priorities must not lead to
concentration in one or two areas while the rest of the
city is neglected.
Citywide needs must also be addressed so that improvements
which benefit a part of the city rest on a sound base.
This means that facilities which allow efficient delivery
of city services must be adequate.
It also means that service system improvements which serve
the city as a whole must be adequate if the more localized
parts are to be effective. As an example, it would not be
appropriate for St. Paul to improve streets which serve
residents of a small area and neglect the major streets
which lead to that neighborhood as well as a number of
other neighborhoods.
As a result, four categories of benefit must be addressed:
- Neighborhood improvement
- Economic development
- Citywide service systems , and
- Su�port systems.
In order to achieve balance between geographic areas of
the city and between levels of benefit, guidelines for
the proportion of available resources which should go to
different areas and different levels are set. The
guidelines reflect St. Paul 's rationale for capital
expenditure supplemented by an analysis of past budgets
and the knowledge gained through each annual budget
process. In this way, the City 's goals can be addressed
as well as changing needs and situations within the city.
21
3.0 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES IN FISCAL PERSPECTIVE
St. Paul 's annual budget has two major sections : an
operating budget and a capital improvement budget.
Although treated separately, each of these two budgets
can have an impact on the other. As a result, the
relationships between the two must be considered as
part of sound budgeting practice.
Most of the income received by a city is used to support
the operation of city services and maintenance of the
equipment and buildings required by these services.
Salaries, fringe benefits, supplies, utility costs, and
routine maintenance are all part of the operating budget.
Usually an operating expense will fall into one of the
following three categories:
l.operating and maintenance expenses to continue
existing government services which are provided
directly or under contract;
2.operating and maintenance expenses for new or expanded
services; or
3.operating and maintenance expenses associated with
additional public facilities .
Capital improvements are long-term, physical improvements.
Typically, a capital improvement is a one-time expendi-
ture with a life expectancy of at least three years.
Capital expenditures also fall into one of three categories:
l.the cost of significantly upgrading or replacing an
outmoded municipal facility;
2.the cost of adding a new municipal facility; or
3.the cost of providing incentives to the private sector
to encourage physical improvements or development.
3. 1 TYPES OF CAPITAL There are a number of types of funds available to St. Paul
IMPROVEMENT FUNDS for capital improvements. These include bonds, grants
and aids from other levels of government, and local funds
supported by property taxes, user charges or assessments.
In addition, the costs of some projects are shared with
other units of government and occasionally a private
business or foundation will give the city a grant for a
specific project.
The allowable uses of the fund sources can vary considerably.
Limitations on the use may relate to the purpose of the
project (to benefit low and moderate income people, for
example) , the type of project (streets, sewers) , specific
locations (MSA streets or County Aid streets), or a
23
FIGURE 3: TYPES OF CAP�TAL FUNDS AND THEIR USES
FUND TYPE NSE
Bonds
Capital Improvement Bonds Any capttal expenditure. Capital Improvement Bond funds are dollars
(Chapter 234, Laws of borrowed by the city which are repaid from a levy on property.
Minnesota, 1976)
Auto Parking Facilities Act Parking facilities. Parking Facilities eond funds are general
(Minnesota Statute 459.14) obligation bonds exclusively for acquisition of land or construction
of automobile parking places, They are repald through levies, assess-
ments, or revenue of the facility.
Tax Increment Bonds Economic deve1opment. Tax Increment Bond funds are dollars borrowed
to finance redevetopment of specified parcels of 1and. These bonds
ape repaid through lncreased property taxes resulting from redevelop-
ment of the parcels,
Developmemt District Bonds Economic development. Development Distrlct Bond funds are dollars
borrowed to finance redevelopment of a specified tract of land
designated as a development distrlct. These bonds are repaid through
increased property taxes resulting from redevelopment in the district.
Water Pollution Abatement Pollution control through construction of sewage and storniwater
Bonds (Minnesota Statute facilities. General obligation bonds repaid from a levy on property.

Revenue Bonds My capital profect which will generate revenue.
Citv of Sa1nt Paul: Revenue bonds issued by the city are repaid solely
from revenues generated through the facility constructed with bond
proceeds. For example, in 1980 the city wi11 consider issuing sewer
revenue bonds to construct a storm sewer which removes lake water
oyerflow from the sewage system. The bonds will be repaid from
savings realized through reduced sewage treatment costs.
Port Authorit of Saint Paul: The Port Authority may issue revenue
on s repa so ey rom revenues generated by facilities constructed
with bond proceeds. Authority revenue bonds are sold to construct
industrial facilities or comnercial developments.

specific project (Urban Mass Transportation Administration
Demons trati on Gran t).
The budgetary implications of fund sources also vary.
Bonds are a form of indebtedness and must be repaid by
the City. Depending on the type of bond, citywide property
taxes, property taxes resulting from the project, assess-
ments, or revenue from the project may be used to pay off
this debt.
Grants and aids from, other levels of government generally
do not require repayment. Some grants do require that
the City match the amount of the grant with a specific
percentage of the total cost of the project or projects.
Finally, some local funds are routinely set aside from
property taxes or user charges to be used for capital
improvements to specific service systems.
�
3.2 FISCAL CONSTRAINTS In addition to the limited uses of some fund sources, the
capital improvements which can be undertaken by St. Paul
are limited, quite simply, by the amount of money which
is available. The yearly requests for capital improve-
ments far exceed the dollars available to finance them.
Several factors serve to compound the limits faced by
St. Paul. The first of these is, of course, rapidly
increasing costs which are not matched by increasing
revenues. This affects all of the City's budget and makes
it all the more important that the impact of a capital
improvement on the operating budget be seriously consider-
ed.
The second factor is increased reliance of the City on
grants and aids from other levels of government. Between
1970 and 1976 St. Paul 's total revenues rose from $126.2
million to $213.8 million. But property tax revenues
collected by the City were actually less in 1976 than in
1970. Grants and aids, on the other hand, have been
increasing both in dollars and as a percentage of
St. Paul 's total revenues.
Grants and aids are welcomed by St. Paul as a means
for providing local improvements and services without in-
creasing reliance on property or real estate taxes. These
. funds also help free money with fewer constraints to meet
important needs. It is important to remember, though,
that capital allocations must reflect the mandated purpose
of the funds.
Conversely, the third limitat�on faced by St. Paul is
decreasing aid. A major source funding for capital projects
has been the federal Community Development Block Grant
program. These funds are being severely curtailed and, in
26
1980, St. Paul anticipates receiving approximately half
of what it did during the first three years of the
program. St. Paul 's annual entitlement during 1975, 1976
and 1977 was $18,835,000. Its 1980 entitlement is pro-
jected to be approximately $9.7 million.
The final constraint faced annually is the commitment by
the City to complete ongoing projects before new projects
are initiated. When this commitment is combined with a
decreasing budget and increasing costs, the ability of
the City to initiate new projects is very limited. For
example, the tentative program comrnitments approved as
part of the 1979 capital improvement budget for Community
Development Block Grant funds totalled $9.6 million,
- leaving less than $100,000 of the anticipated $9.7
million entitlement for new projects. The tentative
commitments for capital improvement bonds exceed $6.0
million and St. Paul 's bonding limit is set at $6.5 million.
Although both the commitments and the revenue projections
are tentative, these figures give a sense of the difficult
decisions which must be faced annually.

� 4.0 UNIFIED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
AND BUDGET PROCESS (UCIPBP)
Review of adopted policies is only the first step in
St. Paul 's annual Unified Capital Improvement Program
and Budget Process (UCIPBP). Once the policies have
been reviewed and appropriate revisions adopted by City
Council , proposals for capital improvements are submitted
and an extensive review process begins.
The UCIPBP w as originally established as a method for
allocating capital improvement bond funds. The process
has been enlarged over the years to include all federal ,
state and local funds for capital expenditures. The
various bodies with responsibility for reviewing the
proposals and making recomnendations represent all areas
of the city and a wide range of expertise and knowledge.
The primary review body is the St. Paul Long-Range Capital
Improvement Budget (CIB) Comnittee. Three task forces
assist the CIB Committee by reviewing proposals thoroughly
and ranking them on the basis of a pre-determined rating
sheet. The CIB Cor�nittee then incorporates the recomnenda-
tions of the Task Forces into an annual budget and submits
a formal recor�nendation to the Mayor and City Council.
In addition to the CIB Committee and the task forces,
proposals are reviewed by dis trict councils or neighbor-
hood organizations, city operating departments, and the
St. Paul Planning Comnission. The input from these
groups is incorporated into the rating sheet which helps
assure that all considerations are adequately reflected.
The complete process, beginning with the development of
policies through final adoption of the annual budget by
Ci ty Counci 1 , i s di agrarr�ned in Fi gure 4. Fi gure 5 pre-
sents the 1979 UCIPBP calendar which will result in a
capital improvement budget for 1980.

• 5.0 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION
The effectiveness of policy depends entirely on whether
or not pro�ects and the capital improvement budget as a
whole conform with the policies . City Council estab-
lishes the policies and has responsibility for adopting
the annual capital improvement budget. Thus, final
responsibility and authority for implementing policy
rests with City Council .
During the review process, responsibility for monitoring
the policies is shared by the CIB Committee, the Planning
Commission and the Budget Section of the Mayor's Office.
Figure 6 indicates where the responsibility for moni-
toring the implementation of each policy lies in the
project review and budget recommendation process .

1.0 SAINT PAUL CAPITAL ALLOCATION POLICY: 1980
The City of St. Paul 's annual capital improvement
budget and program is the result of a year-long process
called the Unified Capital Improvement Program and Budget
Process or UCIPBP. A set of capital allocation policies,
adopted by the St. Paul City Council , are used to gu' e
the recor�nendations and final decisions made throu this
process.
I� 1978, twenty-two policies were adopted by C'ty Council
for a three-year period: 1979, 1980, and 19 . In
dopting policies for three years , it was u derstood that
ere would be an annual review so ±hat a ropriate
r isions could be made.
The olicies which will be used in 197 (resulting in a
budg t and program for 1980) and a br ef explanation of
key t ms follow. The full documen includes additional
chapte which present supporting ' formation.
1.1 DEFINITIONS AND TERMS The polic'es are divided into ree categories: strategy
policies, 'mplementation and velopment policies , and
budget and inance policies. Each category reflects a
separate le 1 of policy.
Strategy poli 'es set ge ral direction for St. Paul.
Their rational is base on citywide goals and a strategy
for reaching the e goa adopted by City Council for the
three-year perio
Implementation and evelopment policies focus more
specifically on e inds of capital projects that will
be encouraged or dis uraged given the limited resources
available to S . Paul or capital improvements.
Budget and f nance polic'es address the various sources
of funds a ilable to St. Paul for capital improvements,
when they will be used, an conditions that must be met
in order to use them. �
,.
1 .1, � TYPES OF CAPITAL IMPROV ENTS
Th ee terms which differentiate between broad types of
c pital projects are used throu out the policies.
hese terms are: service system, system support and
subsidy.
1 �
�.
Most capital improvements fit into the service system
category. Service systems include the following
s ubsystems:
- Transportation: roads, bridges, curbing,
sidewalks, lighting, signals, signs, skyways,
parking ;
- Was�te --S���s-tem: sanitary sewers, solid was e
aci itTT' ies, recycling facilities
- ater S stem-Su 1 and Removal : sup ly
d tribution, storm sewers, ponds
- Safe : police stations , fire st tions
- Leisur Education/Culture/Envir nment: parks,
parkway p aygrounds, recrea on centers,
libraries cultural centers, useums, trees,
special us facilities
System support acti ities impro the ability of the city
to deliver services. Examples f system support projects
include:
- headquarters and a i strative offices
- training or educatio 1 facilities
- repair and maintenan facilities
- storage facilities
- communications fac litie
� The final category, su sidy, refl ts assistance given
to individuals or bus ' esses as in ntive for capital
improvements. Subsi y allocations 'nclude:
- loans
- grants
- acquisition nd/or clearance
,

1 .1 .2 PRIORITY AREAS
Some of the policies refer to different types of
residential areas within St. Paul . The classifi tion of
areas is based on the median income of each cen us tract
in comparison with the median income of the S A* and the
condition of the area as indicated in St. Pa 's
"Residential Improvement Strategy" . The r ult is as
follows:
Residential Im rovement Ca e or
Conservation Improvem t
Median Income I & II I & Improvement III
ess than 65%
o SMSA Other A Improvement III
65- % of
SMSA Other B Improvement III'
80% or re
of SMSA Other C Improvement III
*Standard Met opolitan Statistical Area as defined by
the U. S. Depa tment f the Census.
The policies als r er to "neighborhood revitalization".
This means coor inati n of a number of improvements in a
residential ar a in or r to stimulate private investment
and, as a res lt, halt terioration. Neighborhoods
suitable for such an effo t are most likely to be found
within "A" "B", or Improv ent III areas .
1 .2 THE POLICIES 1 .2.1 S TEGY POLICIES
A It uld be desirable for th City to take neighborhood
re italization action aimed s cifically at those areas
o deteriorated housing with t greatest potential for
ttracting private reinvestment, especially in those
areas where significant private investment is not
currently occurring.
New allocation of both subsidy capit 1 and capital for
service systems improvements in suppo t of residential
and neighborhood improvement should fo low this dis-
' tribution:
3
� of Total Recommended
Residential % of Subsidy
Area Blocks Capital
A, B & Improvement III 30% 70-75%
All Other 70q 25-30%
C 1 .New service system capital improvements f neigh-
borhood betterment should support neighb rhood
revitalization action aimed at those ar as of
deteriorated housing with the greates potential for
attracting private reinvestment (for example,
dentified Treatment Areas).
2•Fu thermore, first priority for s rvice system
imp vements outside of areas c sen for neighbor-
hood evitalization should be ' areas where the
poor c ndition of service sys ms can be demonstrated
to be d ressing resale valu of property or de-
terring intenance investm t of owners.
D 1.PJew alloca 'ons by the Ci y of Saint Paul of both
subsidy capi al and capi al for service system
improvements 'n direct upport of economic develop-
ment should em asize omplementing residential
revitalization 'nclu ing District 17) as first
consideration.
2. Second considerati for city capital allocations in
direct support of c omic development should be for
other commercial r re ail reuse or revitalization,
including the d ntown.
E (Not used)
F In order to as ure a balanced pproach to annual
capital alloc tion, total budge allocations and
tentative pr gram commitments fo new projects,
excluding s cial grants, costs b rn by other units
of governm t or the private secto and assessments
which are or a particular project, should approach
the follo ing proportions:
% of tal
Cate or Availa le
Neighborhood Improvement 25-35%
Economic Development 20-30�
Citywide Service
Systems Improvement 35-45%
Support System Development 5-10%
4
G Not more than 20% of the monies budgeted each ar,
excluding special grants, costs born by othe units of
government or the private sector and asses ents which
are for a particular project, shou1d be r projects
in any one district.
. . E N I N N EL EN LICIE
H The f�anding needs of capital i rovement projects
which have received previous dget appropriations for
construction plans, acquisit'on and/or construction
phases, normally have prior ty over new projects.
. I nerally, the City's se vice system will not be
ex anded.
1. Wi in service sys em categories, rehabilitation of
the ity's exist' g facilities takes priority over
the a dition of acilities to the service system,
except here e onomy or efficiency factors or
plannin con derations indicate that such rehabil-
itation i ' advisable.
2, Replacem t f existing city service system
facilit' s ta es priority over additions to the city's
system
3, Add' ions to the ity's service system take last
pr'ority unless t addition brings the area where
i is located up to a standard of service which has
een officially adop ed by the city as part of a plan
for the specific serv'ce system and budget policy
does not limit suc� fu ding. In such cases, the
addition of service sys m components has the same
priority as replacement o existing service systems.
J Generally, the City will budg t acquisition fund�ng
for new projects under the fol wing conditions:
1. Acquisition related to prfivate evelopment or reuse:
(housing or economic development :
a. If there is a responsible develop r with financing
comnitments in hand; and
b. If the proposed reuse is in conform ce with
adopted city plans.
5
2.Acquisition related to public development or reuse:
a. If right-of-way or easements for service systems
are deemed necessary; or
b. If there are opportunities to complete parkland
assembly where parcels have been ��eviously
identified for conversion to par use when they
ecome available; or
c. the property being acquired as tax exempt
st us and the proposed use s been clearly
iden ified and is consisten with adopted City
plans, policies, and prior ies for capital
expendi ure; or
--d=If oppor nities for sp cial grant funding exist.
K Allocation of c pital fun for economic development
proposals will b based the merits of each proposal
and upon its abil y to everage private investment
dollars and obtain r urn of increased property
taxes in accordance h the identified leverage and
return on investment uidelines.
1.LEVERAGE GUIDELI S: ormal leveraging is 1 :6. In
ot er wor s, ea olla the city provides for a
particular pro ct shoul mean six capital dollars
committed by e develope . For example, the City
would normall anticipate oviding no more than
$60,000 in p blic improveme s to service systems
or in subsi y to a pro�ect va ued at $360,000.
This rati may go as low as l : if a given project
will hav a major impact on a pu lic goal . Examples
of such otentially worthwhile pr 'ects include:
a.Proj ts directly associated with eighborhood
revi alization efforts;
b.Pro'ects which generate additional ot displace-
men ) employment within St. Paul ; an
c.Pr jects whose principal objective is resource con-
se vation or the development of altern tive energy
s rces.
2.RET RN ON INVESTMENT GUIDELINES: Normal re urn on
in estment is o, n ot er words, the cit expects
to realize a direct return of 12� property ta es
fo its participation in an economic developm t
pro ect. If $75,000 jn public improvements ar
provided, tax receipts from the project should e
$9,000 per year more than they were before develop-
ment.
6
This return on investment may go as low as 4� ' a
given project will have a ma�or impact on a lic
goal . Examples of such potentially worth le pro-
jects are given in 1, above.
However, at a minimum, the tax ield rom a roject
s ou cover the cost of an ad t na mun c a
services requ red.
Tax abatement is discouraged as development incentive.
However, it may be used to supp t projects that
plicitly serve a pu61ic purp se. If used, abated
v luation in any year of the batement period should
no be lower than the valua on of 1and and jmprove-
ment before the pro�ect 1 started increased at a 6�
rate ompounded annualYy ver the term of abatement.
M The sel tion of Ident fied Treatment Areas for neigh-
borhood vitalizati will be made according to the
ITA guidel nes adop d by the St. Paul City Council
as File Num r 271 22 on June 27, 1978. (Copies may
be obtained c ling 298-5586.)
N (Reserved for r�nercial rev�talization policy. )
0 If the Down wn P ple Mover (OPM) is implemented, not
more than .0 mil on in C�ty Capital Improvement
Bonds wil be appro iated as cash to meet the 10%
City ma h which will be required by the federal grant.
P Disea ed shade tree re val as a special allocation
will e concluded with t e 1980 capital improvement
bu et. Reforestation sh ld contjnue at at least
, 5 00 trees per year throu out the 1980-1984 Capital
provement Program.
1Q Conditions for City participat on in funding skyways :
l .Funds will be budgeted only fo skyway bridges that
are part of a firm package for velopment or
redevelopment of the benefitting uildings;
�� 2,Normally, the City will fund only a ortion of skyway
! bridge construction. The developers nd/or property
owners of benefltting buildings shall und the entire
cost of skyway system construction with n their
buildings;
3,The City will not participate in funding t e
operation or maintenance of a skyway system unless
the City is the owner or developer of a benefitted
building.
7
2Q The City will consider budgeting funds �or a site
preparation fund under the following c nditions :
1. Funding is bud eted on a yearly b is with an initial
allocation of �50,000;
2.The fund will only be used to repare tax-forfeited
sites owned by the City or s ttered sites formerly
acquired by the Housing and edevelopment Authority
or clearance;
3•Si e preparation will be undertaken only if a
dev oper has committed ta buying the specific
parce once it is prep red; and
4.No admi istrative or perating costs are paid from
the fund.
.2.3 BUDGET P LI ES
R Given the City' f scal constraints it is desirable to
allocate municip capital to projects in 1980 and 1981
which will not r s lt in a net increase in City
operating and m int nance responsibilities. At a
minimum, this ans at:
1 ,Essential f cilities hich can be financed and

2.0 THE UNDERLYING RATIONALE FOR SAINT PAUL
CAPITAL ALLOCATION POLICY
Adopting a capital improvement budget is one of the
�nos t important actions taken by city government.
Capital expenditures can have a significant effect
the development or redevelopment of a city and it
neighborhoods. At the same time, legitimate ca tal
improvement needs invariably exceed the money vailable
to address them.
If a capital budget is going to meet the eatest needs
and have the most benefit for the city a a whole, a
method for determining the relative pri rity of projects
is required. Policies based on the g ls and objectives
of a city help meet this requirement
2.1 GOALS AND PRINCIPLES o broad objectives form the ba s for many of St.
Pa 1 's activities, including it capital expenditures.
Cit Council has adopted them s goals and Mayor Latimer
iden ified them as major obj tives of his administration.
They re:
1.To st engthen the city' neighborhoods in order to make
them bet er places to li e; and
2.To stre then the ci 's economic base in order to
provide jo and serv' es needed by residents of the city.
In addition, ecaus capital improvement funds are
limited and b aus needs are great, the goals are
supplemented b t ree principles which relate specifically
to capital allo tions:
1 .Critical nee s ich affect the basic protection of life,
health, or p lic s fety take precedence over all other
capital exp ditures-
2.Capital penditure should be channeled to those areas
where ther is the gre test opportunity for stimulating
private r investment an effecting measurable neighbor-
hood or conomic improve ent; and
3.Some apital funds shou d be made available to prevent
deteri ration and blight i sound areas of the city and
to me t the need for improv ments which benefit the
city as a whole.
2.2 IMPLEMENTATION OF GOALS In order to translate the goals nd principles into
AND PRINCIPLES: IMPROVEMENT p licies, the various types of p jects which are typically
ACTIVITIES f nded by the City as capital .imp vements are divided into
hree broad categories : improvemen s to service systems,
improvements to facilities which sup rt the ability of
local government to offer services ef 'ciently and effective-
ly, and subsidies for improvements to pi�ivately owned
property.
13
These three broad categories and examples of each .are
listed in Figure 1 . The subsidy and system support
categories are fairly limited. The service system
ategory is the largest of the three and is divided •
i to s ubsys tems.
The dvantage of listing typical ac vities in this
manne is that it helps separate p jects that are
direct toward individual or nei borhood needs from
those t t serve a larger part the comnunity or the
community as a whole. Based o this differentiation,
the policy tatements can ide ify appropriate activities
more concise
2.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF GOALS The second step 'n transl ing the goals and principles
AND PRINCIPLES: PRIORITY into policies is 'dentif'cation of those areas of the
AREAS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD �ity where there i the reatest opportunity to stimulate
IMPROVEMENT private reinvestmen a effect measurable neighborhood
improvement. The rol city government is able to play
must also be identifi if policy is to provide �irection.
Many qualities cont ibut to strong, stable neighborhoods.
If the physical as cts ar to enhance the stability of
a neighborhood, a adequat and steady level of time and
money is require . Providin these resources for main-
taining individu 1 properties 's the responsibility of
the owner. The City has respon ibility for providing
adequate resou ces to those ser 'ce systems which it owns
and operates.
Nowever, in ome cases property own rs have been unable
to maintain their properties. Becau e the strength of
a city's n ighborhoods and housing st k affects the
strength the city as a whole, munic al assistance
to indivi ual structures or areas which how some
deterior tion may be justified.
2.3.1 OUSING CONDITION/INCOME MAP
Given these premises, two factors are used t identify
thos areas of the city that meet the intent f the goals
and rinciples: income and the condition of t e housing
sto k.
As a measure of income, the median family income f each
c nsus tract is compared with the median family i ome of
t e SMSA (Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area) d
divided into three categories: areas where the med an
family income of the census tract is less than 65% o the
SMSA median family income, areas where it is between '65%
and 80� of the SMSA median family income, and areas where
it is 80� or more of the SMSA median family income. This

measure is the same as that required for expenditure of
Corrununity Development Block Grant funds which must be
used primarily to benefit low and moderate income people.
ousing condition is based on St. Paul 's "Residential
provement Strategy". The "Residential Improvement
S ategy" , adopted as part of the city's compr,,ehensive
pla in 1976, analy�zes and classifies reside ial areas
of t e city into five categories based on e percentage
of st uctures on each block which need m ar or minor
repair . In addition to classifying ar as, the �
"Reside tial Improvement Strategy" es blishes objectives
for each ype of area and describes rograms and
activitie which could be used to nserve areas of
sound housi g (conservation areas , rehabilitate areas
of lightly teriorated housing Improvement I and II
areas) , and r develop areas of adly deteriorated housing

The Residential Improvement Strategy ' reflects the position
of t. Paul government that the City' s capital allocation
d isions are important tactical moves or conserving and
intaining the city's housing stock an that municipal
apital decisions can make a difference i neighborhood
confidence.
The result of combining these two factors i a housing
conditi�n/income map. The map shows where r sidential
improvements are most needed and where publi assistance
may be necessary as impetus for either stabil ation or
turnaround.

2.3.2 CLASSIFICATI N F PRIORITY ARE S
Assistance should go to areas where there is the eatest
portunity for strengthening and stabilizing th neigh-
b hood. Two types of areas where municipal in estment
is ikely to have the greatest impact can be i entified.
The irst of these are called "fringe" areas
Fringe reas are characterized by housing at is basically
sound bu in need of some repairs. While some private
resources are available, they usually ar not sufficient
to stabili e the area and preserve the ousing stock.
Fringe area are defined as lightly or moderately deterio-
rated areas ere most of the reside s F�ave a median
family income hich is less than 80% of the SMSA median
family income. These areas are lab led "A" and "B" on
the map. Areas abeled "C" are si ilar in housing
condition and als require attent on , but the higher
level of private r sources mean hat a lawer level of
public incentives s ould be req ired.
Identification of the econd ype of area is more complex.
Throughout St. Paul th e ar areas where the housing is
deteriorated but also qu'te substantial . Concentrated
attention to these areas uld serve to improve the
irr�nediate neighborhood an rovide impetus for improve-
ments in surrounding blo s Very often residents of
these areas are low or der te income.
In order to bring abo improv ent, a large corrnnitment
of public resources y be neces ary. Nowever, once
initiated, private i vestment is ikely to take over and
provide the resour s necessary fo stabilizing the
neighborhood over he long term. S ch a cormnitment is
referred to as "n ighborhood revital ation. " Neighbor-
hood revitalizat on implies a concent tion of capital
improvements , ong with other types o city services,
in a relativel small area as a means f inducing and
securing priv te investment in the area.
Neither th "Residential Improvement Strate " nor the
map ident' y specific areas which would be s itable for
neighbor od revitalization. Given the cormm ment of
time an money required of the City and the ne'ghborhood,
it is ppropriate that areas be selected caref ly and
that ctivities be carefully planned by residen them-
selv s. Generally, these areas will be located 'thin
"A" "B", or Improvement III areas and will meet e
crit ria adopted by City Council for the Identifi
Treatment Area Program.
18
\
�� Other geographical areas also require attention. owever,
they_ do not represent similar opportunities for i prove-
ment based on public incentives because they ar either
sound or, if deteriorated, would require exten ve public
expenditure for acquisition, clearance, and r development
before they could be made attractive for pri ate invest-
�ment. Given very limited resources, it was decided that
� the near future St. Paul 's primary eff rts should be
f used in those areas where significant mprovement will
not�require large-scale redevelopment a on completing
exis�ing redevelopment projects.

2.4 IMPLEMENTATION OF GOALS The inten of economic developmen activity is twofold:
AN D PRINCIPLES: THE CITY'S to increas the number of jobs a d income for city resi-
RULE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT dents and t expand the city's ax base so that reliance
on any one s rce is minimize . Specific steps to bring
about these c nges include roadening the city's
industrial base• strengthen ng the down town as a retail ,
commercial, conve tion and ndustrial center; strengthening
community commerc'al and etail centers; and promoting
local neighborhood con mic development opportunities.
Public economic deve pment activities in St. Paul consist
of a wide range of ct'vities and incentives . They include
public improvemen to upport development; subsidy in the
form of land ac isition r preparation, tax abatement,
or special typ of finan 'ng assistance; and the use of
municipal pol ' e powers, le islative authority, persuasive
powers and t chnical assista ce to neutralize stu�ling
blocks to velopment.
These e nomic development tool are used by the City of
St. Pa and the Port Authority f St. Paul to achieve
shar economic development objec 'ves. These objectives
are et by the City Council which a roves Port Authority
bo d issues and has two positions on the Authority Board.
onomic development actions of the P t Authority are
overseen and coordinated with those of he city by the
P1ayor through the Division of Economic D �elopment of the
Department of Planning and Economic Dev�lo�ment.
In the past, the Port Authority has addresse itself
principally to industrial park development wit some ex-
ceptions (assistance to United Hospitals, Inc. , �ntrol
Data Corporation, and the Amtrak Station). The City, on
the other hand, has strongly promoted and assisted
downtown and neighborhood economic development. Recently,
the Port Authority has taken a somewhat larger role in
downtown development.
19
Expanding the Port Authority's role in down n redevelop-
� ment could be consistent with City Council conomic
deve�opment strategy and objectives. Wit policy guidance
and planning from the City, the Authorit could undertake
the acquisition, clearance, and prepara ion of land when
there is developer commitment and gen ate
pital for development of such land rough sale of�
re enue bonds.
This ould reduce the need for cit capital generated
throug sale of general obligatio bonds. It is the
City's tention to finance revi lization of downtown
with less reliance on general o igation bonds while
pursuing o er forms of public inancing to leverage
private fun . It would also ermit St. Paul to expand
its economic evelopment acti ities in areas other than
dawntown. Eco mic developm nt strategy for St. Paul
must carry comm ment to a ontinuing level of downtown
revitalization. owever, e City should geographically
broaden its econom stim ation and development efforts
to place gradually i cre ing emphasis on use of its
funds for development r jects which: (1 ) more closely
ally with neighborhood evitalization; and (2) promote
reuse or revitalizatio f existing comnercial or retail
areas.
Certain types of pr 'ects in owntown will continue to
require initial inv stment fro the City to improve
their redevelopmen potential. or example, service
systems improveme ts which canno reasonably be made
part of a redeve opment project w ld continue to be
made by the Cit . But, as the down own attracts more
developer acti 'ty, less municipal s bsidy capital should
be needed to intain reinvestment mo ntum.
If the Port uthority is to continue to xpand its role
in downtown edevelopment, an overall eco omic develop-
ment strat y must be developed by City Co ncil and
followed b both the City and the Port Auth rity. Some
city fina cing tools, particularly those not available
to the P t Authority, may have to be used fo project
preparat on in dawntown redevelopment. Tax in ement
financi g and development district bonding coul also be
pressed into service for funding proposals under ome
circums ances. But the P�rt Authority's revenue onding
capabil ty would provide most future funding for b th
industrial development and downtown redevelopment.
20
2.5 IMPLEMENTATI N OF Both•of St. Pau s goa s must be pursued if the city is
GOALS ANO PRINCIP ES: to remain a good place to live. There must also be
CITYWIDE BALANCE balance among geographical areas of the city. Wh' e
priorities must be set, each area of St. Paul i depend-
ent on other areas and priorities must not le to
concentration in one or two areas while the est of the
city is neglected.
Citywide needs must also be addressed s that improvements
which benefit a part of the city rest n a sound base.
This means that facilities which all efficient delivery
of city services must be adequate.
also means that service system improvements which serve
t city as a whole must be adeq ate if the more localized
pa s are to be effective. As n example, it would not be
app priate for St. Paul to im rove streets which serve
resi nts of a small area and neglect the major streets
which ead to that neighborh od as well as a number of
other n ighborhoods.
As a res t, four categor'es of benefit must be addressed:
- Nei hborhood im rovement
- Econ mic devel pment
- City 'de servi ce systems , and
- Su�por sys ms.
In order to achi balance between geographic areas of
the city and bet n levels of benefit, guidelines for
the proportion f ailable resources which should go to
different area and ifferent levels are set. The
guidelines r lect S Paul 's rationale for capital
expenditure upplement d by an analysis of past budgets
and the kn ledge gaine through each annual budget
process. In this way, t e City's goals can be addressed
as well s changing needs nd situations within the city.

3.0 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES IN FISCAL PERSPECTIVE
St. Paul 's annual budget has two major sectio . an
operating budget and a capital improvement dget.
Although treated separately, each of these wo budgets
can have an impact on the other. As a re ult, the
relationships between the two must be co sidered as
part of sound budgeting practice.
Most of the income received by a city is used to support
the operation of city services and intenance of the
equipment and buildings required by these services.
laries, fringe benefits, supplie , utility costs, and
ro tine maintenance are all part f the operating budget.
Usu ly an operating expense wil fall into one of the
follo ing three categories:
l.opera ing and maintenance e enses to continue
existing overnment services hich are provided
directly o under contract;
2.operating nd maintenanc expenses for new or expanded
services; or
3.operating and ain ten ce expenses associated with
additional publi faci ties .
Capital improvement re long-term, physical improvements.
Typically, a capita improvement is a one-time expendi-
ture with a life e e tancy of at least three years.
Capital expenditu s a o fall into one of three categories:
l.the cost of s 'gnificant upgrading or replacing an
outmoded munic' al facilit •
2.the cost o adding a new m icipal facility; or
3.the cost of providing in.centi es to the private sector
to encour ge physical improvemen s or development.
3. 1 TYPES OF CAPITAL There re a number of types of funds available to St. Paul
IMPROVEMENT FUNDS for apital improvements. These incl de bonds, grants
and aids from other levels of governme t, and local funds
s ported by property taxes, user charg or assessments.
addition, the costs of some projects a e shared with
other units of government and occasionally a private
business or foundation will give the city a rant for a
specific project.
The allowable uses of the fund sources can vary considerably.
/ Limitations on the use may relate to the purpose of the
project (to benefit low and moderate income peopl for
! example), the type of project (streets, sewers) , s cific
locations (MSA streets or County Aid streets), or a

m ts, or revenue from the project may be u ed t pay off
thi debt. �
Grants and aids from, other levels of go ernment generally
do not equire repayment. Some grants do require that
the City tch the amount of the gran with a specific
percentage of the total cost of the roject or projects.
Finally, so local funds are routi ely set aside from
property taxe or user charges to e used for capital
improvements t specific service ystems.
3.2 FISCAL CONSTRAINTS In addition to� the imited use of some fund sources, the
capital improvements which ca be undertaken by St. Paul
are limited, quite si ly, b the amount of money which
is available. The yea y r quests for capital improve-
ments far exceed the dol a available to finance them.
Several factors serve to pound the limits faced by
St. Paul. The first of he is, of course, rapidly
increasing costs which re n matched by increasing
revenues. This affect all o the City's budget and makes
it all the more impor ant that he impact of a capital
improvement on the o rating bu et be seriously consider-
ed.
The second factor s increased reli nce of the City on
grants and aids f om other levels o government. Between
1970 and 1976 St. Paul 's total revenu s rose from $126.2
million to $213. million. But proper tax revenues
collected by th City were actually les in 1976 than in
1970. Grants a d aids, on the other han have been
increasing bo in dollars and as a perc tage of
St. Paul 's t al revenues.
Grants and aids are welcomed by St. Paul as means
for provi ing local improvements and services without in-
creasing eliance on property or real estate t xes. These
, funds al o help free money with fewer constrain s to meet
importa t needs. It is important to remember, ough,
that c ital allocations must reflect the mandat purpose
of the funds.
Conv sely, the third limitat�an faced by St. Paul 's
decr asing aid. A major source funding for capital rojects
has een the federal Community Development Block Grant
pro ram. These funds are being severely curtailed and, in
26
' 1980, St. Paul anticipates receiving approximately half
of what it did during the first three years of the
program. St. Paul 's annual entitlement during 1 75, 1976
and 1977 was $18,835,000. Its 1980 entitlemen is pro-
, � jected to be approximately $9.7 million.
The final constraint faced annually is th cor�nitment by
the City to complete ongoing projects b ore new projects
re initiated. When this commitment i corr�ined with a
creasing budget and increasing cos , the ability of
th City to initiate new projects i very limited. For
exa le, the tentative program co itments approved as
part f the 1979 capital improve nt budget for Community
Devel ment Block Grant funds t alled $9.6 million,
leavin less than $100,000 of e anticipated $9.7
million ntitlement for new p ojects. The tentative
commitmen s for capital impr vement bonds exceed $6.0
million an St. Paul 's bon ng limit is set at $6.5 million.
Although bo h the commitm ts and the revenue projections
are tentativ , these fig res give a sense of the difficult
decisions whi h must be faced annually.

4.0 UNIFIED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
AND BUDGET PROCESS (UCIPBP)
\
�
Review of adopted policies is only the fir t step in
St. Paul 's annual Unified Capital Improv ent Program
and Budget Process (UCIPBP). Once the olicies have
been reviewed and appropriate revision adopted by City
Council , proposals for capital improv ments are submitted
and an extensive review process begi s.
The UCIPBP w as originally establis ed as a method for
llocating capital improvement bo funds. The process
h been enlarged over the years o include all federal ,
st te and local funds for capit expenditures. The
var us bodies with responsibi ty for reviewing the
prop als and making recommen tions represent all areas
of th city and a wide range of expertise and knowledge.
The pri ry review body is he St. Paul Long-Range Capital
Improvem t Budget (CIB) mnittee. Three task forces
assist th CIB Committee y reviewing proposals thoroughly
and rankin them on the asis of a pre-determined rating
sheet. The IB Commit e then incorporates the recomnenda-
tions of the ask For s into an annual budget and submits
a formal reco endat' n to the Mayor and City Council.
In addition to t e IB Committee and the task forces,
proposals are rev' ed by district councils or neighbor-
hood organization city operating departments, and the
St. Paul Plannin C mnission. The input from these
groups is incor orat into the rating sheet which helps
assure that al consi rations are adequately reflected.
The complete process, be inning with the development of
policies th ough final a ption of the annual budget by
Ci ty Counc' , is diagrarrane in Fi gure 4. Fi gure 5 pre-
sents the 979 UCIPBP calen ar which will result in a
capital ' provement budget f r 1980.

�
The City af St. Paul 's annual capital improvement
;� budget and program is the result of a year-long process
called the Unified Capital Improvement Program and Budget
Process or UCIPBP. A set of capital allocation policies,
� adopted by the St. Paul City Council , are used to guide
the recommendations and final decisions made through this
process.
� I� 1978, twenty-two policies were adopted by City Council
for a three-year period: 1979, 1980, and 1981 . In
adopting policies for three years , it was understood that
� there would be an annual review s� �hat appropriate
revisions could be made.
� The policies which will be used in 1979 (resulting in a
budget and program for 1980) and a brief explanation of
� key terms follow. The full document includes additional
chapters which present supporting information.
�
•..� .
1 . 1 DEFIPJITIONS AND TERMS The policies are divided into three categories: strategy
�., policies, implementation and development policies , and
budget and finance policies. Each category reflects a
separate level of policy.
� Strategy policies set general direction for St. Paul.
. Their rationale is based on citywide goals and a strategy
for reaching these goals adopted by City Council for the
� three-year period.
Implementation and development policies focus more
� specifically on the kinds of capital projects that will
� be encouraged or discouraged given the limited resources
available to St. Paul for capital improvements.
� Budget and finance policies address the various sources
of funds available to St. Paul for capital improvements,
when they will be used, and conditions that must be met
� in order to use them.
' 1 .1 .1 TYPES OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
�{' Three terms which differentiate between broad types of
capital projects are used throughout the policies .
These terms are: service system, system support and
� subsidy.
�
�
�
1
�� �
I�
Most capital improvements fit into the service system �
category. Service systems include the following sub-
systems:
- Trans ortation: roads brid es curbin �'
P � 9 � 9�
' sidewalks , lighting, signals , signs,
skyways, parking, automated transit systems �
- 4Jaste System: sanitary sewers , solid waste
facilities , recycling facilities �
- Water System-Supply and Removal : supply
distribution , storm sewers , ponds
- Safet : police stations, fire stations �
-�
- Leisure/Education/Culture/Environment: �
parks, parkways, p aygrounds, recreation
centers , libraries , cultural centers,
museums, trees , special use facilities �
- Social Care: multi-service centers, day care �w
centers , residential care facilities, health
centers �
System support activities improve the ability of the
city to deliver services. Examples of system support �
projects include:
= headquarters and administrative offices �
- training or educational facilities
repair and maintenance facilities
- storage facilities
- communications facilities �
The final category, subsidy, reflects assistance given
to individuals or businesses as incentive for capital �
improvements. Subsidy allocations include:
- loans
- grants �
- acquisition and/or clearance
�
��
�
2 �
r�
�
�
�s
:� 1 .1 .2 PRIORITY AREAS
Some of the policies refer to different types of
residential areas within St. Paul . The classification of
� areas is based on the median income of each census tract
- in comparison with the median income of the SMSA* and the
condition of the area as indicated in St. Paul 's
� "Residential Improvement Strategy" . The result is as
follows:
� Residential Improvement Category
Conservation Improvement
, . Median Income I & II I & II Improvement III
� Less than 65%
of SMSA Other A Improvement III
,' 65-79% of
- SMSA Other B Ir�provement III
� �0% or more
� of SMSA Other C Improvement III
� *Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area as defined by
the U. S. Department of the Census.
�
� The policies also refer to "neighborhood revitalization".
� This means coordination of a number of improvements in a
�- residential area in order to stimulate private investment
and, as a result, halt deterioration. Neighborhoods
suitable for such an effort are most likely to be found
�,, within "A" , "B", or Improvement III areas .
� 1 .2 THE POLICIES 1 .2.1 STRATEGY POLICIES
A It would be desirable for the City to take neighborhood
revitalization action aimed specifically at those areas
� of deteriorated housing with the greatest potential for
attracting private reinvestment,- especially in those
areas where significant private reinvestment is not
�` currently occurring.
B New allocation of both subsidy capital and capital for
service systems improvements in support of residential
� and neighborhood improvement should follow this dis-
tribution:
�
� 3 �
i
�
�
� � of Total Recommended
Residential % of Subsidy -
Area Blocks Capital �
A, B & Improvement III 30% 70-75�
All Other 70� 25-30% �
C 1 .New service system capital improvements for neigh- �
borhood betterment should support neighborhood
revitaiization action aimed at those areas of =
deteriorated housing with the greatest potential for
attracting private reinvestment (for example, �
Identified Treatment Areas).
2•Furthermore, first priority for service system �
improvements outside of areas chosen for neighbor-
hood revitalization should be in areas where the
poor condition of service systems can be demonstrated �
to be depressing resale value of property or de-
terring maintenance investment by owners. -
D 1.New allocations by the City of Saint Paul of both
subsidy capital and capital for service system ,
improvements in direct support of economic develop-
ment should emphasize complementing residential
revitalization (including District 17) as first �
consideration.
2• Second consideration for city capital allocations in �
direct support of economic development should be for --
other commercial or retail reuse or revitalization,
including the downtown. �
E (Not used) �
F In order to assure a balanced approach to annual �
capital allocation, total budget allocations and �'
tentative program commitments for new projects, �--
excluding special grants, costs born by other units �
of government or the private sector and assessments
which are for a particular project, should approach
the following proportions: �
� of Total
Category Available
Neighborhood Improvement 25-35�
�
Economic Development 20-30%
Citywide Service � �
Systems Improvement 35-45%
Support System Development 5-10%
1
� ,
4 �
�
�
� C Not more than 20% of the monies budgeted each year,
excluding special grants , costs born by other units
of government or the private sector and assessments
which are for a particular project, should be for
� projects in any one district.
� 1 .2.2 IMPLEMEN�f�T'ION AND DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
H The funding needs of capital improvement projects
which have received previous budget appropriations
� for construction plans, acquisition and/or construction
phases narmally have priority over new projects.
I Generally, the City's service system will not be
� expanded.
l .Within service system categories, rehabilitation of
� the City's existing facilities takes priority over
the addition of facilities to the service system,
except where economy or efficiency factors or planning
�� considerations indicate that such rehabilitation is
inadvisable.
2.Replacement of existing city service system facilities
Itakes priority over additions to the city's system.
�
3.Additions to the city's service system take last
� � priority unless the addition brings the area where it
is located up to a standard of service which has been
- officially adopted by the city as part of a plan for
� the specific service system and budget policy does
not limit such funding. In such cases, the addition
� of service system components has the same priority as
replacement of existing service system components .
� J Generally, the City will cansider budgeting acquisition
funding for new projects under the following conditions :
� 1 .Acquisition related to private development or reuse:
(housing or economic development) :
�, a. If there is a responsible developer with
- financing commitments in hand; and
_ b.If the proposed reuse is in conformance
, with adopted city plans.
�
�
�
5
,�
�
�
2:Acquisition related to public development or reuse: �
a. If right-of-way or easements for service systems
are deemed necessary; or �
b. If there are opportunities to complete parkland
assembly where parcels have been previously
identified for conversion to park use when they .�
become available; or ,
c. If the property being acquired has tax exempt
status and the proposed use has been clearly
identified and is consistent with adopted City �
plans, policies, and priorities for capital �
expenditure; or
d. If opportunities for special grant funding exist. —
K Allocation of ca ital funds for economic development �
P
proposals will be based on the merits of each proposal _
and upon its ability to leverage private investment �
dollars and obtain a return of increased property
taxes in accordance with the identified leverage and
return on investment guidelines.
1 .LEVERAGE GUIDELINES: Normal leveraging is 1 :6. In
�
ot er wor s , eac ollar the city provides for a
particular pro�ect should mean six capital dollars
committed b the develo er. For exam le, the- City �
Y P P
would normally anticipate providing no more than
$60,000 in public improvements to service systems �
or in subsidy to a project valued at $360,000.
This ratio may go as low as 1 :3 if a given project �
will have a major impact on a public goal . Examples ,
of such potentially worthwhile projects include: �
a.Projects directly associated with neighborhood �
revitalization efforts ;
b.Projects which generate additional (not displace-
ment) employment within St. Paul ; and ,�
c.Prajects whose principal objective is resource con-
servation or the development of alternative energy
sources. ��
2.RETURN ON INVESTMENT GUIDELINES: Normal return on -
nvestment s o. n ot er words, the city expects
to realize a direct return of 12% property taxes �
for its participation in an economic development _
project. If $75,000 in public improvements are
provided, tax receipts from the project should be ��
$9,000 per year more than they were before develop- '��
ment. `"
�
6 �
�
'
� r i m ma a 1 a 4 if a
This eturn on nvest ent y go s ow s %
_ given project will have a major impact on a public
� goal . Examples of such potentially worthwhile pro-
_ jects are given in 1, above.
� However, at a minimum, the tax ield from a roject
s ou cover the cost of any add t onal municipa
services required.
� L Tax abatement is discouraged as a development incentive.
_ However, it may be used to support projects that
explicitly serve a public purpose. If used, abated
� valuation in any year of the abatement period should
not be lower than the valuation of land and improve-
ments before the pro�ect is started increased at a 6%
� rate compounded annually over the term of abatement.
M The selection of Identified Treatment Areas for neigh-
borhood revitalization wjll be made according to the
� ITA guidelines adopted by the St. Paul City Council
as File Number 271322 on June 27, 1978. (Copies may
be obtained by calling 298-5586. )
� N (Reserved for corr�nercial revitalization policy. )
0 If the Downtown People Mover (DPM) is implemented, not
� more than $6.0 million in City Capital Improvement
- Bonds will be appropriated as cash to meet the 10%
City match which will be required by the federal grant.
� P Diseased shade tree removal as a special allocation
will be concluded with the 1980 capital improvement
� budget. Reforestation should continue at at least
5,000 trees per year throughout the 1980-1984 Capital
� Improvement Program.
� 1Q Conditions for City participation in funding skyways :
1 ,Funds will be budgeted only for skyway bridges that
■ are part of a firm package for development or
j redevelopment of the benefitting buildings ;
� 2,Normally, the City will fund only a portion of skyway
bridge construction. The developers and/or property
owners of benefitting buildings shall fund the entire
cost of skyway system construction within their
� buildings;
3,The City will not participate in funding the
operation or maintenance of a skyway system unless
� the City is the owner or developer of a benefitted
building.
� �
�
�
2Q The City will consider budgeting funds for a site �
preparation fund under the following conditions :
1. Funding is bud eted on a yearly basis with an initial �
allocation of �50,000;
2.The fund will only be used to prepare tax-forfeited
, sites owned by the City or scattered sites formerly �
� acquired by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
for clearance;
3.Site preparation will be undertaken only if a �
developer has committed to buying the specific
parcel once it is prepared; and �
4.No administrative or operating costs are paid from
the fund. �
2.2.3 BUDGET P U C ES
R Given the City`s fiscal constraints it is desirable to
allocate municipal capital to projects in 1980 ,,
which will not result in a net increase in City
operatjng and maintenance responsibilities. At a �
minimum, this means that:
1 .Essehtial facilities which can be financed and
operated by the City and another agency will be
given a high priority if they can be constructed and �
operated at less cost than separate facilities. _
2.Generally, there will be no allocation of capital j,
for purchase or construction of facilities for
human services programs which are not operated �
by the City or for rehabilitation of human services
facilities which are not owned by the City in 1980. -
As an exception, those citywide facilities specifi-
cally provided for in HUD regulations as eligible �
for Community Development Block Grant funds may be _
considered. No CDBG monies will be appropriated to
finance annual, operation and maintenance of human �
service facilities in 1980.
3,New sw�rruning pools will not be considered for funding
i n 1�980. j
S The City will annually budget for each project phase
only the estimated amount of money which can reasonably
be expected to be expended within the budget year. ,
The capital improvement program will identify funds �
required to complete the financing of a pro�ect in �
future years. This tentative comm9tment is subject to
8 �
�
,
� adoption by City Council of a C�pital Improvement
Budget appropriation for �he project.
� T Determination of which fund source is most appropriate
for financing each of the City's budget priorities will
� be made as follows:
1 .A11 street improvement projects on Municipal State
Aid, County Aid, or Minnesota Trunk Highway routes
� will be considered for funding primarily with monies
allocated to the city specifically for those routes.
2.Capital improvements which are eligible for metro-
� politan, State or Federal programs or private grants
should be so financed. CDBG and CIB monies may be
used to provide local ma+ching funds,. if appropriate.
� 3,Capital improvements which could be financed with
specific bonding authority may be so recommended if
� City Council has indicated its intention to utilize
such authority;
; 4.Capital improvements and programs eligible for CDBG
funding will be so funded; and
5,Capital improvement which cannot be financed with
� monies governed by paragraphs (1 ) through (4) will
be considered for CIB bond funding.
� U Bond Financing:
1.The City will issue $6,500,000 in Capital Improvement
� Bonds in 1980. When preparing the tentative Capital
Improvement Program, the maximum amount of Capital
Improvement Bonding and tax increment bonding for �
financing future years' projects should not exceed
� $7,500,000 in 1981 , $8,000,000 in 1982 and $8,500,000
in 1983.
� 2.Assuming the City receives a grant for the second
phase of the Thomas-Dale sewer project and issues in
1979 the necessary Water Pollution Abatement Bonds
to match the grant, the maximum amount of WPA bonds
'� to be issued in 1980 for the third phase of the
Thomas-Dale sewer project and storm water ponding
� projects is $4,301 ,000. When preparing the tenta-
� tive Capital Improvement Program, the maximum amount
of WPA bonds to be issued in 1981 for the fourth
� phase of the Thomas-Dale sewer project and storm
� water ponding projects should not exceed $3,520,000.
�
� 9
�
after the completion of the Thorr�s-Dale sewer project,
it is the City's intention to finance sewer projects �
with fund sources other than Water Pollution Abate-
ment Bonds. �
3.The City does not intenG te issue tax levy-supported �
bonds in 1980 for the residential or commercial re- -
habilitation program, parking facilities, or urban
renewal. At this time there is no anticipated need �
to sell tax levy-supported bonds for the residential _
rehabilitation program for the years 19E1 and 1982. _
4. If tax increment bond-funded projects are developed, �
they must meet requirements of Policy V "Tax Increment
Financing Policy" before City Council will consider �
issuing bonds.
1f Tax increment financing:
i.Revenue Projections by Consultant: Revenue pro,ectiors �
for all tax increment proposals should be analyzed by
a private financial consultant rather than a bond �
consultant.
2.Debt Service From Bond Sale Proceeds : Debt service ,
for all tax increment projects will be paid from
bond proceeds for no more than the first three years
of project implementation when no tax increm�snt� or _
cther project revenues are generated. �
3.Other Costs Funded From Bond Sale Proceeds: All c:osts
relating to any tax increment proposals should be �
funded with bond proceeds and included in the justi-
fication of each proposal. These costs include,
but are not limited to: design, acquisition and
relocation, construction, bond consultant, bond �
counsel , financial consultant and staff time.
4.Conditions to be fulfilled for tax increment bond �
financing: _
a.There must be a clear statement of public purpose; �
b.All state requirements must be met;
c.The prospective developer must have financing �
available; and
d.There must be a written contract among the developer, �
the city and any involved public authorities. The
contract must identify, among other things, esti-
mates for all� anticipated cos ts related to the �
development estimates for annual operating and
maintenance costs associated with the completed
project, and who is responsible for meeting each
of these cos ts. �
�

� 5.Use of tax increment bond sale proceeds in accordance
with written financial plan: Tax increment bond
� monies shall be expended only in accordance with the
�terms identified in the financial plan, unless other-

'L.0 THE UNDERLYING RATIONALE FOR SAINT PAUL
� CAPITAL ALLOCATION POLICY
� Adopting a capital improvement budget is one of the
mos t i rriportant acti ons taken by ci ty government.
Capital expenditures can have a significant effect on
� the development or redevelopment of a city and its
neighborhoods. At the same time, legitimate capital
improvement needs invariably exceed the money available
� to address them.
If a capital budget is going to meet the greatest needs
and have the most benefit for the city as a whole, a
� method for determining the relative priority of projects
is required. Policies based on the goals and objectives
of a city help meet this requirement.
�
2.1 GOALS AND PRINCIPLES Two broad objectives form the basis for many of St.
Paul 's activities, including its capital expenditures.
� City Council has adopted them as goals and Mayor Latimer
identified them as major objectives of his administration.
They are:
� l.To strengthen the city's neighborhoods in order to make
them better places to live; and
� 2.To strengthen the city's economic base in order to
provi de j obs and servi ces needed by resi dents of the ci ty.
In addition, because capital improvement funds are
� limited and because needs are great, the goals are
supplemented by three principles which relate specifically
to capital allocations:
� 1 .Critical needs which affect the basic protection of life,
health, or public safety take precedence over all other
capital expenditures;
� 2.Capital expenditures should be channeled to those areas
where there is the .greatest opportunity for stimulating
� private reinvestment and effecting measurable neighbor-
� hood or economic improvement; and
3.Sorr� capital funds should be made available to prevent
deterioration and blight in sound areas of the city and
� to meet the need for improvements which benefit the
city as a whole.
� 2.2 IMPLEMENTATION OF GOALS In order to translate the goals and principles into
AND PRIPdCIPLES: IMPROVEMENT policies, the various types of projects which are typically
ACTIVITIES funded by the City as capital improvements are divided into
�, three broad categories: improvements to service systems,
improvements to facilities which support the ability of
local government to offer services efficiently and effective-
1 ly, and subsidies for improvements to privately awned
property.
'� 13
�
These three broad categories and examples of each are �
listed in Figure 1 . The subsidy and system support
categories are fairly limited. The service system �
category is the largest of the three and is divided
into subsystems.
The advantage of listing typical activities in this �
manner is that it helps separate projects that are
directed toward individual or neighborhood needs from
those that serve a larger part of the comnunity or the �
community as a whole. Based on this differentiation,
the policy statements can identify appropriate activities
more concisely. �
2.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF GOALS The second step in translating the goals and principles
AND PRINCIPLES: PRIORITY into policies is identification of those areas of the �
AREAS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD city where there is the greatest opportunity to stimulate
IMPROVEMENT private reinvestment and effect measurable neighborhood
improvement. The role city government is able to play �
must also be identified if policy is to provide uirECtion.
Many qualities contribute to strong, stable neighborhoods. �
If the physical aspects are to enhance the stability of
a neighborhood, an adequate and steady level of time and
money is required. Providing these resources for main-
taining individual properties is the responsibility of �
the owner. The City has responsibility for providing
adequate resources to those service systems which it owns
and operates. �
Nowever, in some cases property owners have been unable
to maintain their properties. Because the strength of �
a city's neighborhoods and housing stock affects the
strength of the city as a whole, municipal assistance
to individual structures or areas which show some
deterioration may be justified. �
2.3. 1 HOUSING CONDITION/INCOME MAP �
Given these premises, two factors are used to identify
those areas of the city that meet the intent of the goals
and principles: income and the condition of the housing �
stock.
As a measure of income, the median family income of each
census tract is compared with the median family income of �
the SMSA (Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area) and
divided into three categories: areas where the median
• family income of the census tract is less than 65% of the �
SMSA median family income, areas where it is between 65%
and 80% of the SN�A median family income, and areas where
it is 80% or more of the SMSA median family income. This

Con�munity Development alock Grant funds which must be
used primarily to benefit low and moderate income people. �
Housing condition is based on St. Paul 's "Residential
Improvement Strategy". The "Residential Improvement �
Strategy" , adopted as part of the city's comprehensive
plan in 1976, analy�z�s and classifies residential areas
of the city into five categories based on the percentage
of structures on each block which need major or minor �`
repairs . In addition to classifying areas, the
"Residential Improvement Strategy" establishes objectives
for each type of area and describes programs and �
activities which could be used to conserve areas of
sound housing (conservation areas) , rehabilitate areas
of lightly deteriorated housing (Improvement I and II
areas) , and redevelop areas of badly deteriorated housina �
(Improvement III areas) .

The "Residential Improvement Strategy" reflects the position �
of St. Paul government that the City' s capital allocation
decisions are important tactical moves for conserving and
maintaining the city's housing stock and that municipal �
capital decisions can make a difference in neighborhood
confidence.
The result of combining these two factors is a housing �
condition/income map. The map shows where residential
improvements are most needed and where public assistance �
may be necessary as impetus for either stabilization or
turnaround.

2.3.2 CLASSIFICATION OF PRIORITY AREAS
Assistance should go to areas where there is the greatest �
opportunity for strengthening and stabilizing the neigh-
borhood. Two types of areas where municipal investment
is likely to have the greatest impact can be identified.
The first of these are called "fringe" areas. �
Fringe areas are characterized by housing that is basically
sound but in need of some repairs . While some private �
resources are available, they usually are not sufficient
to stabilize the area and preserve the houSing stock.
Fringe areas are defined as lightly or moderately deterio- �
rated areas where most of the residents have a median
family income which is less than 80% of the SMSA median
family income. These areas are labeled "A" and "B" on �
the map. Areas labeled "C" are similar in housing
condition and also require attention , but the higher
level of private resources mean that a lower level of
public incentives should be required. �
Identification of the second type of area is more complex.
Throughout St. Paul there are areas where the housing is �
deteriorated but also quite substantial . Concentrated
attention to these areas would serve to improve the
irrnnnediate neighborhood and provide impetus for improve- �
ments in surrounding blocks. Very often residents of
these areas are low or moderate income.
In order to bring about improvement, a large commitment �
of public resources may be necessary. However, once
initiated, private investment is likely to take over and
provide the resources necessary for stabilizin� the �
neighborhood over the l ong term. Such a corr�ni tment is
referred to as "neighborhood revitalization. " Neighbor-
hood revitalization implies a concentration of capital
improvements , along with other types of city services, �
in a relatively small area as a means for inducing and
securing private investment in the area.
Neither the "Residential Improvement Strategy" nor the �
map identify specific areas which would be suitable for
neighborhood revitalization. Given the corrnnitment of �
time and money required of the City and the neighborhood,
it is appropriate that areas be selected carefully and
that activities be carefully planned by residents them-
selves. Generally, these areas will be located within �
"A", "B", or Improvement II� areas and will meet the
criteria adopted by City Council for the Identified
Treatment Area Program. �
�
18
�
�
�
Other geoqraphical areas also require attention . However,
� they _do not represent similar opportunities for improve-
ment based on public incentives because they are either
sound or, if deteriorated, would require extensive public
� expenditure for acquisition, clearance, and redevelopment
before they could be made attractive for private invest-
ment. Given very limited resources, it was decided that
for the near future St. Paul 's primary efforts should be
� focused in those area� where significant improvement will
not require large-scale redevelopment and on completin�
existing redevelopment projects.
�
2.4 IMPLEMENTATION OF GOALS The intent of economic development activity is twofold :
� AN D PRINCIPLES: THE CITY'S to increase the number of jobs and income for city resi-
RULE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT dents and to expand the city's tax base so that reliance
on any one source is minimized. Specific steps to bring
� � about these changes include broadening the city's
industrial base; strengthening the down town as a retail ,
commercial, convention and industrial center; strengthening
� community commercial and retail centers; and promoting
local neighborhood economic development opportunities.
� Public economic development activities in St. Paul consist
of a wide range of activities and incentives. They include
public improvements to support development; subsidy in the
form of land acquisition or preparation, tax abatement,
� or special types of financing assistance; and the use of
municipal police powers, legislative authority, persuasive
powers and technical assistance to neutralize stumbling
� blocks to development.
These economic development tools are used by the City of
� St. Paul and the Port Authority of St. Paul to achieve
shared economic development objectives. These objectives
are set by the City Council which approves Port Authority
bond issues and has two positions on the Authority Board.
� Economic development actions of the Port Authority are
overseen and coordinated with those of the city by the
Playor through the Division of Economic Development of the
� Department of Planning and Economic Development.
In the past, the Port Authority has addressed itself
� principally to industrial park development with some ex-
ceptions (assistance to United Hospitals, Inc. , Control
Data Corporation, and the Amtrak Station). The City, on
the other hand, has strongly promoted and assisted
� downtown and neighborhood economic development. Recently,
the Port Authority has taken a somewhat larger role in
downtown development.
�
� 19
�
Ex andin the Port Authority's role in downtown redevelop- ■
P 9
ment could be consistent with City Council economic
development strategy and objectives. With policy guidance �
and planning from the City, the Authority could undertake
the� acquisition, clearance, and preparation of land when
there is developer corr�nitment and generate �
capital for development of such land through sale of
revenue bonds.
This would reduce the need for city capital generated �
through sale of general obligation bonds: It is the
City's intention to finance revitalization of downtown
with less reliance on general obligation bonds while �
pursuing other forms of public financing to leverage
� private funds. It would also ��err�it St. Paul to expand
its economic development activities in areas other than �
� downtown. Economic development strategy for St. Paul
must carry commitment to a continuing level of downtown
revitalization. However, the City should geographically
broaden its economic stimulation and development efforts �
to place gradually increasing emphasis on use of its
funds for development projects which: (1 ) more closely
ally with neighborhood revitalization; and (2) promote �
reuse or revitalization of existing comnercial or retail
areas.
Certain types of projects in downtown will continue to �
require initial investment from the City to improve
their redevelopment potential. For example, service
systems improvements which cannot reasonably be made �
part of a redevelopment project would continue to be
made by the City. But, as the downtown attracts more
developer activity, less municipal subsidy capital should �
be needed to maintain reinvestment momentum.
If the Port Authority is to continue to expand its role �
in downtown redevelopment, an overall economic develop-
ment strategy must be developed by City Council and
followed by both the City and the Port A�uthority. Some
city financing tools, particularly those not available �
to the Port Authority, may have to be used for project
preparation in downtown redevelopment. Tax increment
financing and development district bondi;ng could also be �
pressed into service for funding proposals under same
circumstances. But the Port Authority's revenue bonding
capability would provide most future funding for both
industrial development and downtown redevelopment. �

� 2.5 IMPLE��IENTATION OF Both -of St. Pau s goals must be pursued if the city is
GOALS AND PRIP�CIPLES: to remain a good place to live. There must also be
CITYWIDE BALANCE balance among geographical areas of the city. While
� priorities must be set, each area of St. Paul is depend-
ent on other areas and priorities must not lead to
concentration in one or two areas while the rest of the
� city is neglected.
Citywide needs must also be addressed so that �mprovements
which benefit a part of the city rest on a sound base.
� This means that facilities which allow efficient delivery
of city services must be adequate.
It also means that service system improvements which serve
�� the city as a whole must be adequate if the more localized
parts are to be effective. As an example, it would not be
appropriate for St. Paul to improve streets which serve
� residents of a small area and neglect the major streets
which lead to that neighborhood as well as a number of
other neighborhoods.
� As a result, four categories of benefit must be addressed:
� - Neighborhood improvement
- Economic development
- Citywide service systems , and
- Su��crt systems.
� In order to achieve balance between geographic areas of
the city and between levels of benefit, guidelines for
� the proportion of available resources which should go to
different areas and different levels are set. The
guidelines reflect St. Paul 's rationale for capital
, � expenditure supplemented by an analysis of past budgets
and the knowledge gained through each annual budget .
process. In this way, the City's goals can be addressed
as well as changing needs and situations within the city.

3.0 CRPITAL EXPENDITURES IN FISCAL PERSPECTIVE
�
j St. Paul 's annual budget has two major sections : an
operating budget and a capital improvement budget.
Although treated separately, each of these two budgets
can have an impact on the other. As a result, the
,� relationships between the two must be considered as
part of sound budgeting practice. -
� Most of the income received by a city is used to support
the operation of city services and maintenance of the
equipment and buildings required by these services.
� Salaries, fringe benefits, supplies, utility costs, and
routine maintenance are all part of the operating budget.
Usually an operating expense will fall into one of the
( following three categories:
I � �
l.operating and maintenance expenses to continue
existing government services which are provided
� directly or under contract;
2.operating and maintenance expenses for new or expanded
� services; or
3.operating and maintenance expenses associated with
additional public facilities.
1 Ca ital improvements are long-term, physical improvements.
P
Typically, a capital improvement is a one-time expendi-
� ture with a life expectancy of at least three years.
Capital expenditures also fall into one of three categories:
� l.the cost of significan tly upgrading or replacing an
outmoded municipal facility;
2.the cost of adding a new municipal facility; or
� 3.the cost of providing incentives to the private sector
to encourage physical improvements or development.
,
3. TYPES OF CAPITAL There are a number of types of funds available to St. Paul
� IMPROVEMENT FUNDS for capital improvements. These include bonds, grants
and aids from other levels of government, and local funds
supported by property taxes, user charges or assessments.
In addition, the costs of some projects are shared with
� other units of government and occasionally a private
business or foundation will give the city a grant for a
specific project.
� The allowable uses of the fund sources can vary considerably.
Limitations on the use may relate to the purpose of the
project (to benefit low and moderate income people, for
� example), the type of project (streets, sewers) , specific
locations (MSA streets or County Aid streets), or a

specific project (Urban Mass Transportation Administration �
Demons trati on Gran t).
The budgetary implications of fund sources also vary. 1
Bonds are a form of indebtedness and must be repaid by
the City. Depending on the type of bond, citywide property
taxes, property taxes resulting from the project, assess- �
ments, or revenue from the project may be used to pay off
. this debt.
Grants and aids from• other levels of government generally �
do not require repayment. Some grants do require that
the City match the amount of the grant with a specific
percentage of the total cost of the project or projects. �
Finally, some local funds are routinely set aside from
property taxes or user charges to be used for capital
improvements to specific service systems. �
,
3.2 FISCAL CONSTRAINTS In addition to the limited uses of some fund sources, the
capital improvements which can be undertaken by St. Paul �
are limited, quite simply, by the amount of money which
is available. The yearly requests for capital improve-
ments far ezceed the dollars available to finance them. �
Several factors serve to compound the limits faced by
St. Paul. The first of these is, of course, rapidly �
increasing costs which are not matched by increasing
revenues. This affects all of the City's budget and makes
it all the more important that the impact of a capital �
improvement on the operating budget be seriously consider-
ed.
The second factor is increased reliance of the City on �
grants and aids from other levels of government. Between
1970 and 1976 St. Paul 's total revenues rose from $126.2
million to $213.8 million. But property tax revenues '
collected by the City were actually less in 1976 than in
1970. Grants and aids, on the other hand, have been
increasing both in dollars and as a percentage of
St. Paul 's total revenues. �
Grants and aids are welcomed by St. Paul as a means �
for providing local improvements and services without in-
creasing reliance on property or real estate taxes. These
funds also help free money with fewer constraints to meet �
important needs. It is important to remember, though,
that capital allocations must reflect the mandated purpose
of the funds. �
Conversely, the third limitat�an faced by St. Paul is
decreasing aid. A major source funding for capital projects
has been the federal Community Development Block Grant �
program. These funds are being severely curtailed and, in
26 �
�
1 .
� 198U, St. Paul anticipates receiving approximately half
of what it did during the first three years of the
program. St. Paul 's annual entitlement during 1975, 1976
� and 1977 was $18,835,000. Its 1980 entitlement is pro-
jected to be approximately $9.7 million.
The final constraint faced annually is the commitment by
� the City to complete ongoing projects before new projects
are initiated. When this commitment is combined with a
decreasing budget and increasing costs, the ability of
' the City to initiate new projects is very limited. For
example, the tentative program corr�nitments approved as
part of the 1979 capital improvement budget for Conttnunity
Development Block Grant funds totalled $9.6 million,
� leaving less than $100,000 of the anticipated $9.7
million entitlement for new projects. The tentative
commitments for capital improvement bonds exceed $6.0
� million and St. Paul 's bonding limit is set at $6.5 million.
Although both the commitments and the revenue projections
are tentative, these figures give a sense of the difficult
� decisions which must be faced annually.

AND BUDGET PROCESS (UCIPBP)
�
, Review cf adopted policies is only the first step in
St. Paul 's annual Unified Capital Improvement Program
and Budget Process (UCIPBP). Once the policies have
� been reviewed and appropriate revisions adopted by City
Council , proposals for capital improvements are submitted
and an extensive review process begins.
, The UCIPBP was originally established as a method for
allocating capital improvement bond funds. The process
has been enlarged over the years to include all federal ,
� state and local funds for capital expenditures. The
various bodies with responsibility for reviewing the
proposals and making recommendations represent all areas
� of the city and a wide range of expertise and knowledge.
The primary review body is the St. Paul Long-Range Capital
� Improvement Budget (CIB) Committee. Three task forces
assist the CI8 Corr�nittee by reviewing proposals thoroughly
and ranking them on the basis of a pre-determined ratin�
sheet. The CIB Corr�nnittee then incorporates the recommenda-
� tions of the Tas k Forces into an annual budget and submits
a formal recommendation to the Mayor and City Council .
� In addition to the CIB Committee and the task forces,
proposals are reviewed by dis trict councils or neighbor-
hood organizations, city operating departments, and the
' St. Paul Planning Comnission. The input from these
groups is incorporated into the rating sheet which helps
assure that all considerations are adequately reflected.
� The complete process, beginning with the development of
policies through final adoption of the annual budget by
Ci ty Counci 1 , i s diagramned in Fi gure 4. Fi gure 5 pre-
' sents the 1979 UCIPBP calendar which will result in a
capital improvement budget for 1980.

1 5.0 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION
1
The effectiveness of policy depends entirely on whether
� or not pro�ect.s and the capital improvement budget as a
whole conform with the policies . City Council estab-
lishes the policies and has responsibility for adopting
the annual capital improvement budget. Thus, final
� responsibility and authority for implementing policy
rests with City Council .
' During the review process, responsibility for monitorina
the policies is shared by the CIB Committee, the Plannin�
Commission and the Budget Section of the Mayor's Office.
� Figure 6 indicates where the responsibility for moni-
toring the implementation of each policy lies in the
project review and budget recommendation process .
