This program does not include acquisition or construction of new sites. <br /> .Projects include those that will help the City respond efficiently to changing service <br /> delivery requirements. This category is organized into two program areas: <br /> • General Site and Facility Improvements; <br /> • ADA Renovations. <br /> I <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 /> j such a scale to warrant classification asstand-alone projects. Large-scale facility changes <br /> that are needed to provide for community growth are found in this category of projects. <br /> i The allocations in the Preservation and Maintenance and the Site and Facility Improvements <br /> j categories will fund specific General Fund projects based on City Council policies and direction, <br /> .the Facility Condition Reports, and immediate maintenance priorities and needs. A number of <br /> projects in the New Capital Facilities category will be directly responsive to Growth <br /> Management Policy 19 (public safety). <br /> j Funded and Unfunded Programs <br /> Given the extent of unmet Public Building and Facilities needs, projects are separated into two <br /> j distinct programs: the Six-Year Funded Program and an Unfunded Program. The Six-Year <br /> Funded Program is comprised primarily of projects in Preservation and Maintenance, and Site <br /> and Facility Improvements. These projects have originated from long-range master plans and/or <br /> City'Council goals and policies, or have a high priority based on City operational needs. It <br /> i should be noted that the costs given for unfunded projects are only preliminary budget planning <br /> costs and are, for the most part, not based on detailed design cost estimates. <br /> Funding <br /> For the last several years, the City's General Fund has been the primary source of funding for <br /> building and facility renovation. Since General Fund revenues have not kept up with service and <br /> capital requirements, Public Building and Facilities has been consistently underfunded.. ~ ' <br /> f. <br /> In November 1999, the Budget Committee .adopted a new General Capital Budget strategy when. <br /> it a roved the General Fund's Six-Year Financial Forecast as the basis of the develo ment of <br /> Pp <br /> p <br /> the FY01 General Fund budget. The strategy to fund building repair and preservation includes <br /> implementation of three approaches: <br /> , <br /> 1. Budget $1.7 million in the FY01 General Capital Budget and increase the budgeted <br /> amount by $100,000 per year in successive years throughout the six-year forecast period; <br /> 2. Dedicate up to $900,000 in end-of--year General Fund balances to facilities maintenance; <br /> C <br /> City of Eugene 2004 - 2009 Capital Improvement Program ` ' <br /> Page 59 ~ 1 <br /> <br /> I <br /> <br />
