and sidewalks along CR 27, and the growth along CR 27 were noted. Residents are asking that this two-lane
segment be reconstructed and the County Board was requested to consider moving this project back to 2019
in the Transportation Improvement Program.

intersection of Connolly Parkway and CR 27 in Savage. Mr. Stock stated although signalization of this
intersection does not meet the criteria from a warrant study, residents perceive serious safety issues at the
intersection. Mr. Stock reported in 2017 the City of Savage will be resurfacing Connolly Parkway. With the
resurfacing project, the City of Savage is proposing the Citys coordination of the design and construction of
the signalization project with the costs related to the project funded by the City with the understanding that
when the intersection meets the warrants, the City would be reimbursed for the Countys share. Mr. Stock
asked the Board to consider this partnership and respond to the City within the next 30 days.
Considerable discussion followed regarding funding and timing of projects in the Transportation
Improvement Program, warrant studies, safety concerns, and the Transportation Sales Tax projects.
Consensus was to schedule a County Board workshop in January to review the Transportation Improvement
Program and invite the Savage City Officials and the Credit River Town Board to attend.

The purpose of this agenda item is to approve the Service Agreement with Beacon Interfaith Housing
Collaborative for the Families Moving Forward (FMF) Southwest Program.
The terms of this Agreement are effective January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. Total funding under
this Agreement shall not exceed $135,000. This funding will provide shelter and service coordination for
eligible Scott County residents. Families eligible for FMF meet the State of Minnesota definition for homeless,
a household lacking a fixed, adequate night time residence.
Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative has been operating the Families Moving Forward Southwest Program
in Scott and Carver Counties since May 2014. The FMF program provides safe overnight shelter for homeless
families at congregations throughout the community. Currently 22 congregations in the two Counties are
hosting families at 13 different locations. Congregations take turns weekly, opening their doors to families in
the evening providing a safe place to sleep, hot meals, and activities for the children. Families are transported
to a Program Center in Chaska, where school buses pick up children for school or HeadStart. During the day,
parents may go to work, meet with FMF staff, search for housing and jobs, meet for financial literacy class, do
laundry, make meals, and care for their children.
Families Moving Forward in Scott and Carver Counties serves four families, up to 16 individuals at any given
time. The goal for the FMF Program is to assist homeless families move to permanent, stable housing as
quickly as possible and to help families gain self-sufficiency. From May 1, 2014 through May 1, 2016, Families
Moving Forward provided shelter and services to 30 Scott County families. Of these 30 families, 77% have
moved into permanent housing with an average length of stay of 66 days.
$50,000 was budgeted in 2016 for Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative. Initially, for more than a year,
Families Moving Forward received space for day programming free of charge. For 2017, Beacon Interfaith
Housing Collaborative has requested an increase of $85,000 in funding for a total of $135,000 to cover
increased costs including rental of space for day programming. Scott County Commissioners have verbally
indicated support for this increase during the 2017 budget process.
Fiscal Impact:
Total funding under this Agreement shall not exceed $135,000 and is included in the 2017 Health and Human
Services budget. Approval of this Agreement is budget neutral.

The purpose of this agenda item is to adopt Resolution No. 2017-004; authorizing entering into a Maintenance
Agreement with Credit River Township for the segment of Lucerne Trail located in Credit River Township.
As a result of the reconstruction of County Highway (CH) 8 (CP 08-12), the County constructed an extension of
Lucerne Trail from existing Lucerne Trail to France Avenue. This alignment and extension reduced the
number of roadway accesses on CH 8 and created a frontage road with better roadway network connectivity.
On November 1, 2016, the County assigned the right-of-way for Lucerne Trail alignment extension to the
Township by Board Resolution 2016-185.
In accordance with Minnesota Statute 163.11, the County is required to provide maintenance on turnback
segments for two years on highways turned back to townships. The Maintenance Agreement provides
compensation in the amount of $9,500 for two years of maintenance for the Lucerne Trail extension segment
and was the Townships preference versus the County providing the maintenance with its own forces.
The Credit River Town Board will consider for approval the Maintenance Agreement at their January 9, 2017
meeting.
This Agreement will be effective upon execution.
Staff recommends approval of this Maintenance Agreement for the Lucerne Trail extension to the Township of
Credit River.

The purpose of this agenda item is to summarize the closed Board session on December 20, 2017
during which County Administrator Gary Sheltons 2016 performance was evaluated and the setting
of his 2017 salary was discussed.
It is the policy of Scott County that fair and equitable compensation shall be provided to employees
for services rendered and employees shall be provided competitive rewards for achievement.
On December 20, 2016 the Board met in closed session to review and evaluate Mr. Sheltons 2016
job performance. Mr. Shelton provided an overview of his efforts and progress made toward goals
and outcomes as articulated and established in strategies and priorities set by the County Board
during the prior years evaluation process.
The 2016 focus areas were Fiscal Sustainability, Economic Development, Intergovernmental
Relations, and Maintaining a Productive Work Culture. The discussion under each area was as
follows:
1.
Fiscal Sustainability
As in past evaluations it was noted that the Countys fiscal condition is very sound and both
the Board and the Administrator recognize and are pleased with this condition. Notables
included improved fund balance and maintenance of an AAA Bond Rating. Under Mr.
Sheltons leadership Scott County has emerged as a leader in practices for budget
forecasting and modeling and other organizations watch what we are doing and seek to
adopt our practices. Introducing the Board to use of Priority-Based Budgeting (PBB) tools
and discussions was set as part of the expectations for the 2016 performance period.
While progress was made on this endeavor it will remain a goal for 2017. With plans for
the Boards integration with PBB starting in January, Mr. Shelton believes PBB will flourish.
2.
Economic Development
Scott County has made great strides in this area through multiple collaborative efforts with the
Scott County Association for Leadership and Efficiency (SCALE). Ongoing activities include
First Stop Shop, Economic Gardening, and initiatives with Greater MSP and also include policy
enhancements to enable proper development of these areas. Under Mr. Shelton, Scott County
has developed a fiber asset, programs to encourage and support business growth, and taken
steps to continue mobility and access improvement through innovative use of transportation
dollars.
3.
Intergovernmental Relations
The County strives to maintain positive, respectful, and productive working relationships with
all organizations, people, and entities with which it conducts business. Mr. Shelton recognizes
the value of partnerships and the need to work together toward shared outcomes. We
continue to have success in unique collaborations like equipment sharing, joint prosecution, a
shared law enforcement information system, fiber networking, and absentee voting. Over time
and with the increasing turnover due to retirements, the make-up of many collaborative
committees and groups is changing. There will be a need in 2017 to focus on developing
relationships among and between staff and elected officials, merging existing and new
perspectives on matters important to us all. The Board asked Mr. Shelton to make this a
priority among his 2017 efforts.
4.
Maintaining a Productive Work Culture

Scott County is recognized for its service-oriented work culture. In the 2016 Citizen Survey,
Scott County ranked among the very best for ratings on staff knowledge, courtesy, and
professionalism. Mr. Shelton recognized our tremendous staff and he has placed importance
on positive and productive relations with union and non-union employee alike. Citing the
successful settlement of 8 of 10 labor contracts before the end of the year, Mr. Shelton points
to our commitment to connecting with staff through ongoing employee information meetings,
retaining open door practices, promoting transparency through active Labor Management and
Insurance Committees, and simply valuing multiple perspectives in our decision-making
process as reasons for our engaging culture. As with any large organization, there are pockets
where more focus and concerted effort may be needed, and in 2017 Mr. Shelton will be
particularly cognizant to make time for those areas.
Overall comments were that Mr. Shelton is doing a good job as County Administrator in a complex
public-sector organization. Mr. Shelton was asked to continue in his Chief Executive Officer role in
the direction we have been headed. It was noted that with two new Board members in 2017, Mr.
Shelton will want and need to spend some time understanding their perspectives and priorities.
Areas of particular emphasis for Mr. Sheltons focus in 2017 included:
Highlighting and summarizing information about the multi-faceted Economic Development
efforts that have occurred and are being worked on;
Developing relationships and strengthening partnerships with new staff in area agencies and
organizations;
Engaging Board members in PBB philosophy and practices;
Maintaining organizational efficiency efforts with the goal of keeping taxes low;
