Building and Park Facilities <br /> The City maintains a wide range of public facilities, including neighborhood; community, and <br /> metropolitan parks, community centers and swimming pools, fire stations, government office <br /> buildings, parking structures, and the library. In all, the City must maintain and preserve <br /> more than 185 buildings and 97 parks in order for City government to effectively provide the <br /> ' services desired by Eugene citizens. <br /> ~ <br /> The City must also provide new and/or expanded facilities to meet the needs of a growing <br /> community. For instance, the Library, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department (ERGS) <br /> is currently in the process of evaluating their .mix and methods of delivering recreation <br /> services. Given the City's current financial picture, most new General Fund facility <br /> j development will depend on the willingness of citizens to provide additional resources to fund <br /> these improvements as demonstrated in the recent voter approval of both Library and Parks <br /> <br /> ~i and Open Space funding. <br /> ~ ~ <br /> Building and Park Facilities projects are derived from several adopted plans .and facility <br /> condition reports. These include the Parks and Recreation Plan, Public Safety Long Range <br /> Plan, Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Redeployment Plan, Urban Renewal Plan, <br /> the 1997 and 2001 Facility Condition Reports, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) <br /> Transition Plan, and a Parking Structure Architectural Study. <br /> The General Fund (derived predominately from property taxes) is the primary source of <br /> funding for Building Facilities projects. Dedicated Funds include the Atrium Fund {ATRIUM), <br /> Emergency Medical Services {EMS), and Parking Funds. Parks SDC's and bond measure funds <br /> are the primary source for funding acquisition and development of new parks. <br /> Project Categories <br /> Building and Park Facilities projects are described in one of three ways: <br /> 1. Facility Preservation and Maintenance -These projects preserve, maintain and repair <br /> systems associated with existing facilities. They allow facilities to achieve their useful <br /> life spans and to be maintained at a level required for effective service delivery to the <br /> public. <br /> This category is divided into five Preservation and Maintenance programs: <br /> • Health, Safety, and Welfare <br /> ~ • Primary Building Systems <br /> Secondary Building Systems <br /> Service Systems <br /> Site Renovation/Rehabilitation <br /> , City of Eugene 2002-20.07 Capital Improvement Program <br /> Page 24 <br /> _ _ _ _ <br /> <br />
