City Manager's Office .City of Eugene 777 Pearl Street, Room 105 Eugene, Oregon 97401-2793 (541) 687-5010 City Manager's Message (541) 687-5414 Fax (541) 687-5045 TDD November 25, 1996 To the Citizens of Eugene: The City of Eugene's Draft Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal Years 1998-2003 is attached for your review. The City uses the CIP as a planning mechanism to ensure a logical approach to land acquisition, construction of facilities and maintenance of assets necessary to provide a safe and efficient delivery of City services. The CIP is now updated every other year, and reflects a six-year planning period; particular emphasis is placed on the first two years of the cycle. The CIP's current format includes funding rationales and a detailed discussion of unfunded projects. In addition, information regarding two- and six-year funded projects is consolidated and follows each program section. Neighborhood needs requests are incorporated in the CIP in both the Overview text (Table 2 summarizes requests made during the last two years) and in Appendix 1 (a detailed list of requests by neighborhood group). Funding sources for CIP projects are from either the General Fund (derived from local property taxes) or Dedicated Funds. Examples of dedicated funding include the State gasoline tax ' (Road Fund projects), assessments to benefitting properties (Assessment Fund), charges on new building and development activity for impacts on public systems (System Development Fund projects), revenues from the Federal Aviation Administration (Municipal Airport Fund projects) '' ' and funding from other jurisdictions or special grants (Federal, State, or County). City building and park facilities are generally maintained through funds budgeted in the General Fund. In 1995, the City Council agreed to budget $1.9 million for buildings, facilities and site improvements, $1.254 million of which is dedicated to capital preservation and maintenance of buildings. The City relies on the 1995 Facility Condition Report and City Council direction to assess and prioritize preservation and maintenance projects: Passage of Ballot Measure 47 will require the City Council to review and adjust the City's operating and capital budgets to deal with the reduction in property tax revenue. Since the CIP, after its adoption, is used as the basis for the next year's capital budget, the Council will -- need to consider major changes to the General Fund projects in the CIP. These projects can be found in the Building and Park Facilities portion of the document.
