<br />CIP Discussion <br />8/16/2007 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />the Water Tanker to 2008. Based on our initial research on this truck replacement we are <br />recommending an increase of $20,000. The new anticipated cost for this vehicle is $125,000. <br />This cost increase is based on increased costs for steel and federal emissions changes that took <br />effect in 2007. When staff provided the 2007 estimate the truck manufacturers did not know <br />what increases this change would have. The total cost for this replacement could be reduced <br />with the sale or trade of the current vehicle. <br /> <br />Emergencv Vehicle Preemption (EVP): The EVP project is a larger Ramsey County project. This <br />project is a joint project with Ramsey County and the Cities of Arden Hills, Little Canada, <br />Shoreview, and Vadnais Heights. Ramsey County has not had the time to proceed with this <br />project. It is still Ramsey County's desire to complete this project in 2007; however, discussions <br />with the County have indicated that the project may become a 2008 project. <br /> <br />Storm Pond Maintenance Projects: Staff is in the process of developing a storm pond <br />maintenance program to meet the requirements of the MS4/SWPPP requirements. After the plan <br />is developed this is a project that will be ongoing, with an increased budget for the fIrst two to <br />three years, until the program is fully implemented. <br /> <br />2008 Proiects <br /> <br />Inflow and InfIltration (I & I): Staff will continue to evaluate what needs to be done to reduce <br />1&1 and proceed accordingly. City Council authorized Bonestroo to complete an I & I study for <br />the City in 2007. We will be developing future mitigation projects based on the results of this <br />study. This mitigation work could include manhole repairs (sealing and raising), sanitary sewer <br />pipe lining, and sump pump inspections/disconnections. Funding source: Sanitary Sewer Fund. <br /> <br />Equipment: Included in the 2008 CIP is the replacement of the 1994 S-IO Pickup truck. This <br />vehicle is assigned to City Hall and is primarily used by the Code Enforcement Inspector. While <br />the mileage on this vehicle is still rather low we have placed it in the 2008 CIP as a place holder <br />should it suffer any major repair needs. lt is our intention to not replace this vehicle until 2009 <br />when we have a better idea of our vehicle needs and use patterns as the TCAAP project <br />progresses. Also as stated above, it is most likely that the Tanker replacement payment will <br />occur in 2008. Attached is the most current version ofthe Capital Equipment Listing Worksheet, <br />which is our working document for equipment replacement in future years. <br /> <br />Technology/OffIce Equipment: We are anticipating a fIve year replacement schedule for <br />computer work stations. This replacement schedule is recommended by the Roseville IT staff to <br />keep all front line work stations current with software and network capabilities. We are <br />estimating a $10,000 annual cost to implement this plan. This will be reviewed each year as <br />Plinters and other offIce machines may add to the costs. 2008 planned replacements would <br />include five work station computers and one lap top computer, as well as a new mid sized copy <br />machine for the Public Works Garage. Total estimated costs for 2008 are $14,000. <br />
