October 11, 2000 To: Steve Sarkozy, City Manager Introduction Enclosed is a draft of the Preliminary Capital Improvement Program for the 5-year period of2001-2005. The current proposed year (200 I) is contained within the proposed 200 I operating budget. The years of 2002-2005 are the best estimates as viewed by City staff with input from the Council, various commissions and other city workgroups. In a number of cases the items may have a bit of a wish list in them and do require further analysis prior to coming to the Council for approvals. There may also be projects we may have missed and should be included. The Capital Improvement Plan, with exception of the proposed 2001, is for planning purposes only and the compilation of improvements and equipment does not constitute an approval by Council or an authorization to implement. The 200 I year is part of the proposed budget and once approval by the Council; the implementation process may begin on those designated improvements and equipment procurement Purpose of Plan The intent of preparing a 5- Year Capital Improvement Program meets a number of objectives: . It identifies both short-term and long-term operating and capital needs of the city. . The plan enables the City to manage growth and redevelopment without putting taxpayers at risk as well as identifying specific needs which may need referendum approval. . A framework is provided for replacing city assets such as streets, public buildings, utilities and parks. . Enables the council to visualize the competing needs in a context of the financial options which may exist. Hil!:hlil!:hts This draft provides for total improvements of $74,152,000 and equipment replacement of$7,165,975 over the 5-year period. The estimated total of both improvements and equipment replacement of $81 ,317,975 is $12,428,272 less than the current 5-year projected period of 2000-2004. The major difference is in the projected building replacement estimates. This Report estimate reflects a less ambitious program of facilities replacement than what was discussed last year. Key elements within the proposed improvements include a continuing effort in maintaining the city streets, storm system, parks and other basic infrastructure. Community Development efforts include a major re-development effort in the Twin Lakes area of the City. A substantial portion of the funding for this will depend on grants from either the State or Federal sources. The past 3 years has seen Park development of nearly $8 million. This report provides for completion of some of those projects as well as additional potential referendum-based improvements such as the activity center replacement. The Centre City program of improvement in general governmental buildings especially for improved public safety space, is also outlined this report at a somewhat modest level of$5.6 million. This improvement would also need to be referendum-based. Conclusion We will be prepared to discuss this proposed plan, as well as any additional ideas or suggestions the Council may have at the October 16, 2000 work session.
