Costs Capital Costs Table 3 provides cost estimates for the PROS facility Improvements Identified in Table 1. These Include: capita! costs for all projects, maintenance and operations costs for Priority One improvements, and growth allocation percentages for purposes of calculating system development charges (sdc's). Developing new capital projects will have a significant impact on the City's parks and open space maintenance budget and wilt also require budgeting for capital preseNation and replacement costs In 'the longer term. It is Important that the City allocate sufficient maintenance furidlng to protect maintain and eventually replace new capital investments. In addition to the maintenance costs of new projects, this plan recommends that a minimum per unit maintenance budget be developed based on a detailed maintenance management plan for each park type. This analysis will ftkely result in a need for additional maintenance funding for existing porks for two reasons. First for natural oreas, the rates could include fundfng to improve habitat. Second, for areas that hove structures, the rates could include the capitol replacement cost of the structures. Growth allocation percentages allow the City to determine how much of the Indlviduot prOject costs can be attributed to population growth. These figures are used to calculate system development charges. Non-Capitol Costs Table 4 provides cost estimates for non-capitol priority one programs and projects identified in Table 2. Costs estimates include the following categories: stafftng, matertals, and other. A staffing FTE (full time equivafent) is indicated where opproprlate. Of the costs listed, stafffng estimates are annual costs' based on 0 yearly salary, plus benefits. Materials and other costs are typically one time costs. All costs are in 2004 dollars and do not factor In anticipated revenues. CUy of Eugene PROS Project Lisf 5
