Attachment G 14. Bettman On page 138 there is $590K secured for Parking Garage Elevator CS-Facilities upgrades to the Over Park and Hult (not broken out separately.) I remember the Overpark elevator being rebuilt and it wasn’t that long ago. Why should it need such expensive “upgrade” so soon? The $590,000 elevator project is for the Overpark, Hult, and Parcade garages. In addition to the newer elevator and stair tower at the Overpark, there are six other elevators in these three facilities. The average age of these facilities is over 25 years and repair/replacement parts are becoming more difficult to acquire. These upgrades are recommended by the Elevator Modernization Report in an effort to anticipate and avoid breakdowns. 15. Bettman Many project categories have increased by hundreds of thousands, CS-Facilities like Primary Building Systems by 356 K, Secondary Building Systems by 69K, etc. Where is the increase in the capital budget coming from? Is it an increase in the Capital (transfer) contribution? Yes, the overall increase in these projects reflects the annual $100,000 increase in the General Fund Capital Budget, as described on page 126 of the CIP. This annual increase is allocated among the General Fund CIP projects, including the Site Renovations and Rehabilitation project listed in the Parks and Open Space section of the CIP. 16. Bettman There are many millions grouped in capital project categories and sub CS-Facilities categories, i.e. General Site and Facility Improvements 1.7, Health Safety and Welfare 3.9, Primary Building Systems 5.9, Secondary Bldg systems 1.2, Building Service Systems4.2. These are in addition to the many upgrades, maintenance and preservation projects specifically listed. Is there a list of planned projects for this money that we can look at? Is this a rolling fund? These amounts represent the Public Building and Facilities General Fund Capital Improvement Program for these types of building preservation projects. These funds are dedicated to repairing and preserving the City's 111 General Fund-supported buildings, while the other named projects fund preservation of non-General Fund buildings. The General Funds in each of these "Preservation and Maintenance" and "Site and Facility Improvements" sub-categories are tracked separately and allocated to specific projects during the fiscal year, based on the Facility Condition Report (FCR) and on emerging deficiencies that need more immediate attention. The 2004 FCR documented $16.2 million in existing deficiencies, and $12.7 million in deficiencies emerging within 5 years. This $28.9 million in expected needs compares with a total of $19.9 million in General Fund resources included in the draft CIP. The next update of the Facility Condition Report will be done in FY08. The Executive Summary of the 2004 Facility Condition Report can be read at the Facility Management Division's web site, and the full report with detailed information on the specific deficiencies of each building is available at the Library, City Manager's Office or the Facility Management Division office. 17. Bettman There is 3 million allocated to Services for New Development. Will CS-Facilities that money be spent on projects that enhance capacity that are identified in the CIP? Is the SDC money shifted to pay for infrastructure associated with a development project not identified as a community priority?
