All of these areas, with the exception of Streets, 151are funded largely with property tax dollars. (Streets are funded primarily with State MSA 152money and interest from the approximately $13 million Street Replacement Fund.) 153 154These areas of unfinished capital funding represent an additional approximately $93 million in 155costs, out of the original $218 million identified in 2011. Of that, about $41 million, or about 15644%, is unfunded based on current funding sources in 2012. 157 158The pieces of the remaining unfunded amount are: 159About $17 million of a total of $47 million in costs for the Street Pavement Management 160Program (Street PMP). [37% unfunded] 161About $9.4 million of a total $28.5 million in costs for Park Facilities and PIP items 162[33% unfunded] 163About $7 million of Skating Center Facility needs [100% unfunded] 164About $4.6 million of a total $5.7 million in Information Technology, Central Services, 165and Admin Equipment costs [81% unfunded] 166About $1.2 million of $4.2 million in costs for the Pathway & Parking Lot Pavement 167Management Program (PPPMP) [29% unfunded] 168About $355,000 of Street Lighting replacement costs [100% unfunded] 169 170It is worth repeating here that these funding levels are based on optimized replacement schedules 171and lists of ongoing capital replacement needs, as reflected in the 2012-2031 Capital 172Improvement Plan. 173 174 The Rest of the Solution – 2012 Subcommittee Recommendations 175 176 177Part of the Solution: The Park Renewal Plan 178 179In terms of Pathways and Park Facilities, a significant part of the solution is already being 180implemented through the Park Renewal Plan. The next four years of the Park Facility CIP needs 181and Park Improvement Plan needs, as well as about $2 million in new pathway construction, are 182included in the Park Renewal Plan projects. 183 184 185The Rest of the Solution: 8 Years of Proposed Actions 186 187Generally, the proposals that follow will fund capital needs through either or both of 2 means: 188Repurposing existing property tax levy funds that are now collected for other purposes, and 189additional property tax levy funding. 190 191
