AGENDA #6f
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Summary of Manager’s Recommended 2000-2005 Capital Improvements Program
DATE: June 26, 2000
Attached is a resolution that would adopt the 2000-2005 Capital Improvements Program.
Background
¨ The Capital Improvements Program identifies five-year capital facilities needs, exclusive of road projects funded by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and transit projects. It also proposes a one-year budget for spending the Town’s capital improvements funds.
¨ This year's program also includes long-range projects beyond the scope of the five-year program as the foundation of our work to prepare a fifteen-year capital improvements program. This list of long-range projects will appear in the final print version of the Capital Improvements Program.
¨ The process of developing the 2000-2005 Capital Improvements Program began with a public forum on January 25, 2000.
¨ The Council held a public forum on March 29 to receive citizen comments on the Preliminary Report on the 2000-2005 Capital Improvements Program. Town advisory boards reviewed the Preliminary Report during the month following this public forum.
¨ On April 24, the Manager’s Recommended 2000-2005 Capital Improvements Program was submitted to the Council.
¨ A public hearing was held on the Manager’s Recommended 2000-2005 Capital Improvements Program on May 10.
¨ The Council received comments from the Town advisory boards on the 2000-2005 Capital Improvements Program at its budget work session on May 17, 2000.
¨ We have added lease payment purchase of Infrared Rescue Cameras to the Capital Repair and Maintenance Fund. This project is to be funded jointly by the Town, the University of North Carolina, and UNC Hospitals. In the first year, the Town will contribute $12,500, and will receive $30,000 and $20,000 from the University and Hospital, respectively. Since the first-year payment will be only $28,000, we have created a reserve account in the amount of $34,500 to be used towards future payments.
Program Summary
The Manager’s Recommended 2000-2005 Capital Improvements Program considers citizen comments at the public forums and the Council’s discussions in their budget work sessions.
¨ We recommend that $811,000 be allocated toward capital projects in the 2000-01 fiscal year. The total amount of funding recommended in this five-year period through the capital improvements fund is $4,329,000.
¨ This year’s Capital Improvements Program includes funds reappropriated from previous fiscal years. The total recommended reappropriation for 2000-01 is $371,000.
¨ Total funds proposed for capital projects, from all funding sources, over the five-year period are $19,082,000. Funding sources for these projects include the capital improvements fund, bond funds (Phase II and III), grant funds, and other sources of funding such as gifts or special purpose funds.
¨ The proposed bond funding table incorporates changes in the scheduling of the 1996 bond fund projects, as approved by the Council on September 7, 1997, as revised through January 2000.
RECOMMENDATION
Manager’s Recommendation: That the Council approve the recommended five-year capital program, as shown in the attached three tables, and adopt the attached resolution approving the 2000-2001 Capital Improvements Program funding amounts for new appropriations and reappropriations.
