5 - Replacement pages for CIP NotebookMEMORANDUM TO: Planning Board FROM: Jean Gatza DATE: July 20, 2001 SUBJECT: Replacement pages for the Capital Improvements Program Notebook Please replace Attachment A, Highlights of the 2002-2007 CIP by Fund, with the attached pages. Errors in the dollar amounts have been corrected, Attachment ~ HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2002-2007 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM BY FUND The 2002 Capital Improvements Progr~m includes proposed funding of $48,277,270 for 66 projects. The entire six year CIP includes proposed funding of $193,322,205 for 117 projects. The 2002 CIP budget constitutes 25 % of the 6 year projection. GENERAL FUND The general fund pays for new facilities and additions or alteratians to existing facilities which are not related to Ctty growth (i.e. level of service improvements and existing needs) as scheduled in various departmentQs Master Plans. The money for this fund comes from many different sources and is allocated for capital projects that meet city goals and are not growth related. The departments which usually draw from the general fund for CIP projects are: FAM, Fire, Po[ice, Library, Information Technology, and Housing and Human Services For the year 2002, no capital projects are planned for the General Fund. There aze several reasons for this void: • Projects related to the maintenance & renovation of existing buildings are now funded from a separate fund that is financed out of the General Fund. • Capital improvements in several General Fund service areas ue being funded out of earmazked revenue: • The Police Records System is being financed out of the Public Safety Fund. • The development & renovation of parks and recreation facilities is being financed out of the .25% Sales/Use Tax Parks and Recreation Fund. ~ • Several large computer and software projects have been completed over the past several years, thus negating the need to fund new computer related capital projects in the year 2002. • Pending Library projects cannot move forward until a funding source is available for related operating costs and the General Pund capital contribution. • The revenue picture continues to be tight. Further, there is some uncertainty regarding the negative revenue impact of the F1atIrons Crossing Mall scheduled to open in the fall of 2001. Therefore, the current budget emphasis in the General Fund continues to be augtnenting reserves and financial sustainability rather than adding new services and/or facilities. DEDICATED FUNDS CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND (CDN~ (Previously ca[led the Development Excise Tax or DETj Funding for CDF projects is from the assessment of Development Excise Ta.res on new development. The proposed 2002-2007 Capital Development Fund (CDF) CIP is $1,882,000 - 1% of the six year projection. Five projects are scheduled for funding in 2002 for a total of $132,000. These proposed projects constitute less than 1% of the 2002 CIP. ~ Major Issues and Projects: Funding is proposed in 2002 for Additional Municinal Snace. This will be directed toward ~ a space analysis for the Civic Campus. The Facilities & Asset Master Plan, accepted in 1998, identified the need for funding small facility projects related to growth at the discretion of the FAM Manager. $30,000 from the DET fund is proposed for miscellaneous facility DET Projects. Past uses of the money have included the remodel of the Uni-Hill Police Annex, the Municipal Building west plaza. No projects have been identified to date far the 2002 funding. The Facilities & Asset Master Plan identified the need for the creation of small plazas, pocket parks and other municipal spaces related to new development. $20,000 from CDF funding is proposed yeazly for nublic plaza space. The intent of the appropriation is for the city to capture opportunities to create small public spaces in conjunction with private development of sites. Past uses of the money have included the west side of the municipal building and the landscaped area in front of the teahouse. FACILITY RENOVATION AND REPLACEMENT FUND Funding for Facility Renovation and Rep7acement Fund projects is from a contribution by the General Fund equal to I% of the current replacement value of General Fund facilities and from restricted fund departments as annual contributions to the fund. The proposed 2002-2007 Facility Renovation and Replacement Fund CIP is $2,490,000 - 1% of the six yeaz projection. $370,000 is allocated in 2002 for 3 projects. These projects make up I% of the 2002 CIP. ~ Major Issues and Projects: • Remodel Fire Station #2 - This fire station was, located at 2225 Baseline Road was built ut 1958 and is in need of modernization. This project will remodel the interior of the facility and provide a noise mitigation system to reduce noise levels caused by the high volume of traffic along Baseline. Provide Additional Municipal Space - Departments/Divisions needing additional space include: Fire/Administration, Police, Public WorksBuilding Services, and Library. This project will include a space analysis and program plan for existing facilities. It will also include renovating existing buildings to accommodate new uses. PUBLIC SAFETY BALLOT FUND The Public Safety Ballot Fund is a combination sades and property tar that was passed in 1997 to fund public safety improvements. No projects in the Public Safety Ballot Fund are proposed for capital funding in 2002-2007. OPEN SPACE FUND The proposed 2002-2007 Open Space Fund CIP is $12,900,000 - 7% of the six year projection. These projects total $2,150,000 for 2002, constituting 4% of the CIP for 2002. ~ ~ Major Issues and Projects: • The proposed Open Space 2002 CIP continues the funding levels during the period 2002- 2007, for A~uisitions and Trails rehabilitation. construction, and major maintenance. The Water Riehts Proeram will primarily focus on water acquisitions in the Coal Creek azea. The water rights acquisition program provides funding to purchase additional water shares from private owners or other City agencies for use on Open Space for agricultural and environmental purposes as water becomes available. The Mineral Rights Proeram will provide funding to purchase underlying mineral interests from private owners as they become available on the real estate market. Many of these interests in minerals, gas, oil, and aggregates were severed from the lands previously purchased by Open Space and could cause future management dilemmas. PARKS & RECREATION FUNDS - Parks & Recreation Department funding comes from various sources includingfees, developntent excise taxes, ballot issue bonds, lottery fund monies, etc. The various funds are specific regarding allowed uses and many projects receive fundingfrom more than one funding source. Capital projects are funded from the Permanent Parks and Recreation Fund, the 1995 Ballot Fund and the Lottery fund. Capital projects for 2002 have $4,722,770 proposed - 10% of the 2002 CIP. Parks & Recreation projects for the 6 year CIP have $19,358,705 proposed for funding, constituting . 10% of the 6 year CIP. Major Issues and Projects: Some funding has been reallocated from the Foothills Communi~ Park and fund balance to assist in funding the 2001-2002 renovation and expansion of the North Boulder Recreation Center. This funding reallocation will result in some delay to the phased development of the community park. The CIP proposal for neiehborhood/nocket park development would fund ongoing design and development of several existing undeveloped parksites per year. Parks & Recreation Advisory Board prioritizes pazks to be developed based on citizen need and staff input. Most of the funding for 2002 will be used for design and development of the Blue Sky Hill Pocket Park at Bluff and 22nd. The balance remaining in the general park development category has no specific site identified at this time. If those funds are not used for a project in 2002, thay will be combined with funds identified in 2002 to fund upcoming project needs. Some examples include: Sinton, Elks, Boulder Valley Village (19th & Violet), Aurora 7 playground, Bear Creek Park playground, Stazio Ballfield playground and Pleasant View playground. Funding is proposed in 2002 for infrastructure development for the Drive In Theater neiehborhood parksite. ~ TRANSPORTATION FUND AND TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT FUND Funding for city transportation projects comes from several different sources. The transportation Fund is primarily supported by the dedicated sales tar, Htghway Users Tax, County Road and ~ Bridge fund, and State Highway Maintenance and Landscape Funds. The proposed 2002-2007 Transportation Fund CIP is $36,235,500 - 19% of the six-year projection. Sixteen projects are proposed for funding in 2002 for a total of $10,223,500. These projects constitute 21% of the 2002 citywide CIP. Funding for city transportation development projects come from the Transportation Excise Tax. Growth related projects are funded from this fund. The proposed 2002-2007 Transportation Development Fund CIP is $7,321,000 - 4% of the city-wide six year projection. Three projects are scheduled for funding in 2002 for a total of $1,579,000. These projects constitute 3% of the 2002 citywide CIP. Major Issues and Projects: Pedestrian Svstem Imulementation - The budget associated with the pedestrian mode focuses in three areas, sidewalk repair/replacement funding, pedestrian/motorist rights and responsibilities in crosswalks, and providing adequate pedestrian crossing facilities. CIP funding for facility enhancements (missing links and crossing treatments) includes a total of $2,779,404 for 2002. Bicycle ~stem Implementation - The bicycle system CIP includes developing and testing facility enhancements such as bicycle crossings of roadways and access/egress locations that make bicycling a more attractive mode of travel. It also includes completing missing links and other facility enhancements on a faster track. The Bikeways Facilities Enhancement capital progranunatic budget includes a total of $2,027,092 for 2002 directed towards these improvements. • Transit Svstem Implementation - The transit component of the CIP focuses on creating super-stops, intermodal centers and building toward complimentary bus and rail-based regional transit facilities. The 2002 CIP includes $484,359 towards this effort. Roadwav Svstem - The roadway program maintains and appropriately enhances our infrastructure through intersection improvements, street reconstruction and street resurfacing projects providing a usable, efficient and safe street network for bikes, buses and motor vehicles. The 2002 CIP includes $6,001,245 for these improvements. Transportation Demand Manasement - The TDM program is funded entirely from the operating budget. Mitigation - Mitigation programs focus on miti~ating the negative impact of transportation by mitigating traffic speed and noise. The 2002 CIP includes $260,400 for these improvements. MUNICIPAL AIRPORT FiTND The 2002-2007 Municipal Airport CIP is on hold pending the update of the 1994 Boulder Municipal Airport Master Plan. The timing for the update process is dependent on FAA airport improvement program funding availability, which should be available in 2002 or 2003. Completion of the Airport Master Plan is then anticipated for 2003 or 2004. ~ ~ UTILITIES FUNDS Fundingfor the city's Utilities capital improvement projects is derivedfrom genera! utiliry fees and special external agency grants. The primary revenue sources are Plant Investment Fees (PIFs) from new customers, monthly water sales to customers, and hydroelectric sales to Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCO). Water sales are relatively stable and track the overall growth of the service area. WATER UTII.ITY FUND The proposed 2002-2007 Water Utility Fund CIP is $47,575,000 - 25% of the six year projection. Sixteen projects are proposed for funding in 2002 for a total of $8,200,000, These projects make up 17% of the 2002 CIP. Major Issues and Projects: • Continued emphasis on the rehabilitation and improvement of the city's existing water system infrastructure continues, especially in the area of the city's deteriorated water distribution system. Many rehabilitation projects are proposed to address these problems, including the Goss Grove Distribution System Rehabilitation, which is proposed for funding in 2002 and the Whittier Neighborhood Distribution System Rehabilitation, proposed for funding in 2003. • Water from the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (Colorado Big-Thompson project) is anticipated to play an increasingly important role in the City's overall water system deliveries. For this reason several projects have been identified to assure the ~ reliability of the water quality and delivery from the Boulder reservoir Water treatment Plant. The capacity expansion of the Boulder Reservoir Water Treatment Plant has been once again delayed due to the anticipated reduction in peak water demand projections as a result of the city's commitment to a more aggressive water conservation program. These efforts may preclude the need for an expansion project, Significant repairs to the Barker water system, recently acquired by the City from Public Service Company of Colorado, are needed. Repairs to this water system are necessary to assure safe and reliable water deliveries to the Betasso Water Treatment Plant. (WTP). WASTEWATER UTILITY FUND The proposed 2002-2007 Wastewater Utility Fund CIP is $35,760,000 - 18% of the six year projection. Six projects are scheduled for Wastewater Utility Fund funding in 2002 for a total of $5,100,000. These projects make up 11 % of the 2002 CIP. Biosolids Comoosting - The city is currently involved in a joint study with Westem Disposal regarding the feasibility of a composting facility. If feasible, a Class A biosolids compost facility may be constructed or managed through some type of'partnership' contract. This project provides funds for the planning, design and construction of a biosolids composting facility. ~ • In accordance with the recent intergovernmental agreement with the City of Lafayette, funding is proposed to relocate the wastewater treatment plan's effluent outfall pipe downstream of 75`" Street. FLOOD CONTROL UTILITY FUND The proposed 2002-2007 Flood Control Utility Fund CIP is $22,000,000 - 11% of the six year projection. Three projects aze scheduled for Flood Control Utility Fund funding in 2002 (and an allocation of $150,000 to Tributary Greenways) for a total of $8,000,000. These projects make up 17% ofthe 2002 CLP. As in the past several years, the majority of funds in the Flood Control Utility CIP have been allocated to major drainage way i~rovements for Goose Creek - 30th Street to Folsom Street and Elmer's Two-Mile Creek between Goose Creek and Valmont Road. Work is underway from 30th Street through the Branding Iron Mobile Home Park. The funding proposed in 2002 would complete the project along Goose Creek through the Mapleton Mobile Home Park. Funding proposed for 2003 would complete improvement along Elmer's Two-Mile Creek between the Boulder White-Rocks Ditch to Valmont Road. Money is budgeted for potential flood mitigation improvements along Fourmile Can~ Creek. Recommendations concerning improvements are anticipated in the near future as part of the on-going master planning process. CAGID BONDS ~ The proposed 2002-2007 CAGID CIP is $7,800,000 - 4% of the six year projection. The one project scheduled for CAGID Bond funding in 2002 makes up 16% of the 2002 CIP. Construction of an underground parking structure on the CAGID owned surface parking lot at the ~ corner of 9th & Walnut is proposed for continued funding in the 2002 CIP. CAGID will finance its portion of the underground parking structure through general obligation bonds. A ballot for these bonds passed in November 1998. $7,800,000 is proposed for 2002. ~
