Home Browse Search

Airport is the second largest category with $39.5 million in proposed projects. Terminal Building Expansion accounts for $11.4 million in this category. Other significant projects include Concourse C Addition, Automated Car Wash Facility, Access Road Improvements and Taxiway Rehabilitation. Public Buildings and Facilities projects include significant improvements during the CIP period totaling $30.3 million. Projects include preservation and maintenance of existing City facilities and future phases of the City Hall project. The Stormwater system is planning to invest $14.8 million on improvements in this CIP. The FY 2014-19 CIP includes continuation of drywell removal, various streambank and outfall stabilization projects, restoration and enhancement of the wetlands in West Eugene, and ongoing stream corridor acquisition. The City’s Wastewater system is scheduled to spend $13.9 million on capital projects in the next six years. Included in these improvements is $12.8 million to preserve and rehabilitate the aging wastewater system, decrease inflow and infiltration and address increased wet weather flows. Parks and Open Space section of the draft CIP contains $9.1 million in funded projects. Parks preservation and maintenance and neighborhood and community park acquisition are the two largest projects in the category. The vast majority of funding for the CIP projects comes from sources that are restricted to a particular use, such as the 2008 and 2012 Street Bonds, FAA funding for airport projects, wastewater and stormwater charges, local motor vehicle fuel tax, system development charges (SDC), airport passenger facility charges, and other restricted sources. Out of $177.1 million in funded CIP projects, $23.1 million, or 13 percent of the total, comes from the General Capital Projects Fund, which derives most of its revenue from the annual interfund transfer from the City’s General Fund. The recommended use of this transfer in the draft FY 2014-2019 CIP is facilities and parks capital preservation projects. Unfunded Projects Also included in the CIP are projects totaling $152.8 million for which funding has not been identified. The Transportation category includes $66.3 million of these unfunded projects, primarily funding for the Pavement Preservation Program project backlog and Franklin Boulevard multiway improvements. The Public Buildings and Facilities category includes $57 million in unfunded projects, Stormwater - $15.9 million, and Parks and Open Space category - $9.9 million in unfunded projects. CIP Development and Review Process In the fall of even-numbered years, City staff compiles the draft CIP using input and requests from a variety of sources, including adopted City policies and plans, neighborhood groups, individual citizens, and other stakeholders. The draft CIP document was made available on the City’s web site in January of 2013. Information about the draft FY 2014-19 CIP was also sent electronically to interested citizens via the City S:\CMO\2013 Council Agendas\M130311\S1303114.doc
