program is to address changing program functions and needs and/or to improve service <br />delivery. These types of projects have limited impact on facility operating costs, as their <br />purpose is to upgrade or reconfigure space for more effective service delivery. This <br />category is organized into two program areas: <br />General Site and Facility Improvements; <br />ADA Renovations. <br />3. New Capital Facilities -Projects in this category typically provide for either new and/or <br />replacement facilities or are projects that expand existing facilities/services and are of <br />such a scale to warrant classification as stand-alone projects. Large-scale facility changes <br />that are needed to provide for community growth are found in this category of projects. <br />In most cases, new capital facilities will result in additional facility operating costs. <br />Where a new facility is replacing an existing building, the incremental cost of the new <br />facility is projected as a new or unfunded cost. These facility operating cost projections <br />include both routine facility maintenance (the cost of utilities, custodial services, <br />preventive maintenance and other activities needed to keep a building operating) and an <br />annualized amount of capital preservation that represents future costs that the City can <br />expect to incur for building preservation and rehabilitation. <br />The General Fund portion of the Preservation and Maintenance and the Site and Facility <br />Improvements categories will fund specific projects based on City Council policies and <br />direction, the Facility Condition Reports, and immediate maintenance priorities and needs. <br />Funding <br />As reflected in the Capital <br />Improvement Program (CIP) and <br />the City's Financial Goals and <br />Policies, the City Council's <br />broad direction is to preserve <br />existing capital assets as a cost- <br />effective way to avoid more <br />expensive rehabilitation or <br />replacement. Dedicated <br />revenues pay for maintenance of <br />most City infrastructure (e.g. the <br />airport, sewage treatment plant, <br />transportation system and <br />Public Buildings & Facilities Funding Sources <br />Six Year CIP Totals $22,530,000 for Funded Projects <br />~~' Atrium <br />Parking $2,400,000 $800,000 <br />$1,510,000 <br />General Fund <br />$17,720,000 <br />wastewater and stormwater systems). For the last several years, the City's General Fund has been <br />the primary source of funding for building and facility renovation. The General Capital Projects <br />Fund supports the repair of existing facilities and "catch-up" of deferred maintenance, and is <br />predominately allocated to Preservation and Maintenance and Site and Facility Improvements for <br />each year of the program. Of the total transfer from the General Fund, over 75 percent is <br />dedicated to facility-related capital preservation and maintenance projects Since General Fund <br />revenues have not kept up with service and capital requirements, the preservation of Public <br />Buildings and Facilities has been consistently underfunded. <br />City of Eugene 2008 - 2013 Capital Improvement Program <br />127 <br />
