ISSUE STATEMENT
This item is a request for the City Council to conduct a public hearing on the draft Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) for fiscal years 2014 through 2019 (FY 2014-2019). This public
hearing is an opportunity for members of the public and other stakeholders to provide their input
on the capital projects included in the draft CIP.
BACKGROUND
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a planning document that forecasts the City's capital
needs over a six-year period based on various City-adopted, long-range plans, goals and policies.
The FY 2014-2019 CIP for the Airport, Parks and Open Space, Public Buildings and Facilities,
Stormwater, Transportation and Wastewater totals approximately $329.9 million, of which $177.1
million is funded and $152.8 million is unfunded. The Financial Summaries section of the CIP
document contains tables summarizing all CIP projects, a six-year funding summary, and maps
indicating the geographic location of funded CIP projects.
The primary goals of the CIP are to:
• Provide a balanced program for capital improvements given anticipated funding revenues over
a six-year planning period;
• Illustrate unmet capital needs based on anticipated funding levels, and;
• Provide a plan for capital improvements which can be used in preparing the Capital Budget for
the coming two fiscal years.
Capital projects are generally large-scale endeavors in terms of cost, size and benefit to the
community. The underlying strategy of the CIP is to plan for land acquisition, construction, and
major preservation of public facilities necessary for the safe and efficient provision of services. A
critical element of a balanced CIP is the provision of funds to preserve or enhance existing
facilities and provide new assets that will aid response to service needs and community growth.
Funded Projects
Projects with funding identified or funding secured in this CIP total approximately $177.1 million.
Approximately $69.6 million of anticipated spending on Transportation projects represents the
S:\CMO\2013 Council Agendas\M130225\S1302253.doc
largest portion of the CIP. The Pavement Preservation Program projects account for $67.3 million
of the Transportation projects.
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.
The 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.
