AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET AGENDA DATE: March 7, 2005 D EP AR TMENT: Water Utilities Howard Martin, Utilities 349-823 2 ~ ACM: SUBJECT Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction on street construction issues within the City of Denton. BACKGROUND City Council requested a discussion of the Denia Neighborhood and Austin Street construction projects. In addition council has recently received an update on public work:s inspection activities (Exhibit 1). Staff has combined a number of street construction topics to provide City Council an overview of the issues and activities that we are work:ing on to improve the quality of street infrastructure that the city will ultimately own and maintain. The following topics will be discussed: . Denia Area and Austin Street Construction Projects Inspection Process Street Failures Pavement Focus Group Discussion Sub grade Focus Group . . . . Denia Area The Denia Area project was actually a series of separate water and wastewater projects. The street crew follows these utility infrastructure proj ects and provides patching and/or complete reconstruction depending on the nature of the project and the condition of the street. The wastewater department was placed under an Administrative Order in January 2000 to reduce the amount of storm water and groundwater leak:ing into our wastewater collection system (Exhibit 2). This Administrative Order prescribed specific timelines and project completion dates. All major elements of the Administrative Order have been completed. Over the past 5 years $9,092,140 in wastewater system repairs have been completed to address the problems described in the Administrative Order. The Water Department has an on-going water line replacement program and provides in-house construction for smaller projects. A historical review of main break: data indicated that the Denia neighborhood warranted water line replacement based on the number of main break:s that we were experiencing on an annual basis. We have prepared a chronology of the events and a time line to better track: the activities associated with these projects (Exhibits 3 & 4). The concerns voiced by the citizens in the Denia Area and specifically Westwood Street, was the length of time that their street was under construction. A number of factors combined to delay the final completion of the construction work: in this area. The Water Department started construction on the Westwood waterline replacement on October 23,2003 and completed the project on December 30,2003. At approximately the same time, October 24, 2003, the bid process for the Hick:ory Creek: Basin Sanitary Sewer Replacements and Liners (HCBSSRL) project was initiated. The bid was approved by City Council on January 20,2004. Construction on the first Westwood sewer line repair began on March 15,2004, and was completed March 31,2004. It was determined in late February 2004, that the consultant (RJN) overlook:ed the needed sewer repairs on the south end of Westwood up to Parvin Street. This section of the sewer line on Westwood, could have been added to a separate CIP Project, the Parvin Sewer Line Replacement. However, since the Westwood Street from Dudley to Parvin had already been cut to install a water line, it was decided to proceed with the installation of the sewer line as well. The reason for this decision was so the street work:, when finished, would not be disturbed again in the near future, thus incurring more expense and inconvenience to the neighborhood. As the pressure from the neighborhood increased, it was imperative that we finish the construction activities on Westwood. The engineering department designed a plan, which would allow the work: on Westwood to be conducted separate from the Parvin Street project. The additional work: on Westwood sewer line was authorized on August 16,2004 and completed on October 5,2004. Street crews started work: on September 9,2004 and completed the work: on November 10,2004 In retrospect, sequencing these proj ects differently would have reduced the amount of time that the neighborhood would have been exposed to construction activity. Initiating the Westwood waterline project after the sanitary sewer work: was completed could have reduced construction time by approximately 5-6 months. Better coordination between Water, Wastewater and Engineering would have reduced the overall construction project time. What we were missing was an overall global oversight process, which would have look:ed at the technical, social, and political aspects of this type of project. A number of steps have been tak:en to improve the coordination of projects. Prior to initiating a proj ect, the various departments are interviewed by the engineering department to determine if there are any other related proj ects that are being considered in the area. Division Managers are required to sign off on the project document checkJist (Exhibit 5). Project Managers will be assigned to each proj ect. The recent organization changes with the Engineering Department reporting chain of command will improve the coordination and communication on these types of projects. In addition, we have improved our level of notification to stak:eholders. Residential areas will receive door hangers describing the project, construction timelines and the web site address where construction update may be found. With proj ects impacting retail businesses, we will provide written notification and plan to meet personally with each business on the construction proj ect details. In addition, we will be look:ing at the potential for combining proj ects similar to the Denia Area construction into one proj ect and bidding the work: out. We estimate if this proj ect would have been bid out as a single proj ect, given the same weather constraints, the proj ect would have tak:en approximately 5-6 months. We have included total project costs for paving water and sewer (Exhibit 6). Austin Street The Austin Street Sewer line project involved replacing 3,300 feet of sewer line. A relatively small company and weather delays caused this proj ect to run longer than expected. During the proj ect, the contractor had to reinstall approximately 800 feet of sewer line that had been installed incorrectly. To expedite the completion of the paving repairs, the streets department moved in to start work: on Austin Street a month before the Utility contractor finished. The contractor had 100 days to complete the project he used 104 days. Austin Street is very narrow and when the paving crews moved in there was no room for park:ing. We started receiving complaints associated with this issue. The paving project involved the milling, relayment of 3,260 feet of asphalt pavement, repair of sidewalk:s, installation of ADA ramps and driveway approaches. Sub grade Focus Group The last area that we will discuss is the need for improvements associated with the specifications and standards dealing with subgrade and trenchlines. We would lik:e to bring together a focus group with expertise from TxDot (geotechnical engineer), Contractors, Developers and City staff to formulate criteria which will reduce the types of street failures which we have been experiencing. The focus group will mak:e recommendations on needed improvements with respect to geotechnical testing, quality control appropriate soil moisture content, compaction procedures etc. The nature and complexity of the soils in the City of Denton may require additional geotechnical analysis before and during a development project. OPTIONS N/A RECOMMENDA TIONS .

CURRENT INSPECTION PROCEDURES COD inspection procedures are currently similar to those used by other municipalities employing public work:s inspectors. With regard to pavement and the factors that affect paving quality, the current procedures are outlined herein. Ma terials Testing Prior to the beginning of construction on a proj ect, the City of Denton requires that soil proctors (samples) be tak:en. These tests are performed to determine dry density weight and optimum moisture content of the soils. Test results are used for the compaction tests run on project soils. Without proctor test results, the project inspector will not accept the compaction test results. Page 2 of 7 F or private development proj ects, developers are required to provide their own testing company and are responsible for all testing required by the city specification. The proj ect inspector attempts to monitor testing and a copy of all results are sent to the proj ect inspector for his file. For CIP proj ects, the City provides (contracts with) the testing company. Prior to the beginning of construction on the proj ect, testing needs are evaluated by the owning department and the Engineering Department's Project Manager and Inspections group. Once the scope of testing is established, normally by comparing the proj ect plans with the testing requirements in the specifications, an estimate of testing costs is proj ected, the owning department funding the proj ect is notified of the amount needed, and an additional purchase order is created to fund the testing. The testing is scheduled and monitored by the project inspector. All results are copied and k:ept in the inspector's file. Excavation Proj ect excavation normally involves the rough cut of the proj ect site or area (cuts and fills in public areas for example). The inspector monitors this process to ensure that proper testing is conducted in the fill areas. After the rough cut is complete, the inspector check:s that proper finish grade stak:ing is installed. The inspector then check:s the stak:ing versus the approved construction plans. The inspector then monitors site grading and verifies proper grade with the assistance of the contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the grading, the proj ect' s underground utilities are then installed. Installation of Utilities in Streets During the installation of below grade utilities, the inspector monitors the activity for procedures and materials used, including the compaction test performed by the testing company. The inspector attempts to mak:e sure the contractor uses the specified embedment for the type of utility being installed. Back:fill is placed and compacted in 12- inch lifts. The inspector check:s that proper testing procedures are performed at specified intervals. The inspector uses the test reports from the samples tak:en at the start of the project to check: the instruments used by the testing company. Back:fill is compacted to 95% of the proctor with an optimum moisture content of plus or minus 2%. The inspector reads the test result of the instrument used, and the testing company documents the results. A detailed testing summary is created and copied to the inspector for the project file. If testing results are negative (failed), the area is excavated, re-filled, compacted, and tested again. Installation of Street Sections After the installation of utilities, the inspector check:s that grades are re-established to the rough state established previously. Stak:ing is then check:ed to mak:e sure that any stak:es disturbed during the utility work: are re-established. Page 3 of 7 Street sections are cut to 0.10::!: feet of the cut on the stak:ing. A string line is pulled from curb to curb to check: clearances at the centerline and at the quarter points of the street section. At this point in the proj ect, the soils testing company performs a lime series to determine the proper treatment for the soils in the subgrade. This test determines the plasticity index (PI) of the soil. High PI soils of 13 or above require lime treatment, and soils with a PI below 13 require cement treatment. From these tests the lab is able to determine how much lime or cement is required to stabilize the soil. The test also determines the percent of lime or cement per square yard of surface. Lime or cement is delivered by the ton to the job site in slurry (wet) form. The inspector uses the P .1. test results to calculate the spread rate per truck: for proper distribution. The processing of the soil and applicable treatment material is monitored to ensure that proper gradation is achieved (using a #7 sieve, the inspector mak:es sure that 70% of the sample material will pass through it) and then monitored for uniformity throughout the section being stabilized. The sub-grade is then compacted and reshaped back: to proper grade. The chemical process is allowed 72 hours for completion. After 72 hours, lime stabilized subgrade is re-mixed and check:ed for gradation and moisture content and then compacted and re-shaped to the correct grade. After 72 hours, cement treated sub grade is simply check:ed once again for final grade. Asphalt Streets At this point on asphalt streets, the curb and gutter is installed. The inspector uses the same grade stak:es previously established to check: the grade of the forms set up for the curb section. All junction boxes, manholes, valve boxes and any other appurtenances in the pavement are check:ed for proper grade through the use of a string line. During curb and gutter installation, lime stabilized sub grade is monitored for moisture content and the presence of fractures. Proper moisture must be maintained by watering, or the contractor may need to apply a seal coat. The sub-grade could become damaged if it is allowed to dry out or if heavy traffic is allowed to cross it. If damage occurs, the affected section must be re-mixed with the proper moisture content and re-graded. The surface coarse is then applied. Asphalt must meet the standard reference specifications for the type of asphalt used. Each truck: delivered must have a tick:et that lists the design and weight. Samples are typically tested at the plant to ensure that the proper mix is being achieved. Temperature is a major factor when placing asphalt and is check:ed at the truck: and in the lay down machine. Compaction is check:ed by tests and by creating a roller pattern that will achieve a uniform layer and density. The inspector monitors the contractor as he performs depth check:s to the asphalt being placed. The asphalt probe is set at the proper depth at the rear of the lay down machine. The inspector monitors a test section as the contractor and testing company establishes a roller pattern for compaction. Once the roller pattern is established, the inspector monitors compaction to ensure Page 4 of 7 that proper procedures are followed so that a uniform layer and density is achieved. Concrete Streets On concrete streets, curb sections are poured monolithic with the pavement (at the same time as the paving). The contractor must have a concrete batch design from the supplier approved for conformance with City specifications. Each truck: delivered must have a tick:et that includes batch design, amount delivered, amount of water added, and time it was mixed at the plant. During placement, the inspector monitors the testing company when cylinders (samples) are tak:en. The inspector will mak:e sure the proper amounts of cylinders are tak:en and are stored correctly. Cylinders are tested after set periods of time (7 and 28 days) to determine the cured strength of the concrete. The inspector also monitors the depth check:s tak:en by the contractor just behind the lay down machine as concrete is being placed. Follow-up Inspections It is the City's current practice to visually inspect pavement for signs of abnormal deterioration prior to expiration of the maintenance period. The current maintenance period (warranty) provided by the contractor is two years. Prior to adoption of the Denton Development code, the maintenance period was one year. The contractor provides a maintenance bond to cover the cost of any repairs needed within the maintenance period; however, in most instances the contractor will simply mak:e the repairs themselves. Staffing Levels and Experience Currently, the Engineering Department's public work:s inspection staff is made up of 6 inspectors (one of which is on active military duty) and a supervisor. These individuals in general have on average of over 10 years of inspection experience and additionally have over 10 years of actual construction experience. The existing training program consists mainly of "on-the-job" training; however, this practical experience is supplemented by Texas A&M Extension Service (TEES) courses. TEES Construction Inspection series consists of 10 to 12 courses that are 8 or 16 hours long each. Inspectors typically attend one or two of these courses per year (workJoad and budget allowing) until they complete the series. Possible Design and Process Modifications Staff is currently work:ing to update the existing standard details, criteria manuals and specifications. In addition, staff has work:ed with a consultant, Freeman-Millican, that recently moderated a focus group to discuss what the City's policies should be with regard to concrete versus asphalt pavement. Staff is currently reviewing a draft of the consultant's conclusions and is moving forward with a proposal from Freeman-Millican Page 5 of 7 to design both asphalt and concrete street sections for all street classifications in the City based on an equal set of parameters. Staff has identified a number of issues that could be considered if a higher level of public work:s inspection is desired: Additional Personnel Inspectors currently manage multiple jobs simultaneously, requiring them to drive from job to job during the course of the day and limiting the amount of time they can spend overseeing anyone job. Some contractors tend to tak:e less care when an inspector is not present. Data is being developed to clarify the amount of time per proj ect that an inspector is allowed by this workJoad, but in the past the time spent per project per day was estimated at 15 minutes. Purchase of Equipment . Coring Machine to check pavement thickness prior to accepting the improvements - At one time, the use of this equipment was common practice; however, it has not been done in many years as the existing coring machine is no longer operable and inspectors have had less time per job in recent years. Nuclear Density Machine to check densities - One of the main reasons for pavement failure can be attributed to poor ditch line compaction. Testing company technicians can easily create a specific outcome by intentionally or inadvertently mak:ing minor calibration changes on their nuclear density machines. This phenomenon has historically been thought to be a more common occurrence when the developer's contractor employs the testing lab. In the event the City provided inspectors the ability to conduct density testing, training and certification would be required. . Updating Standard Details, Manuals and Specifications Some areas within the current specifications are vague with regard to testing procedures and construction methods. In addition, conflicts exist in various places between the standard specifications, the Code, the criteria manuals and the standard details. As discussed, Staff is work:ing to eliminate these conflicts. Modified Procedures . City to provide testing as needed - Currently the city provides (pays for) material testing on CIP projects only; however, on development projects, the developer's contractors provide testing. Testing companies hired by a developer or the developer's contractor are responsible to their client. The City previously provided all testing for development proj ects, but for Page 6 of 7 . liability and budget reasons that responsibility was transferred to the developer. The City could reinstitute the procedure of providing testing services for all proj ects, or a compromise could be established by providing the inspector a budget and the ability to secure testing services for a second opinion (dual samples) or to simply spot check: as needed to ensure that the contractor's test results are accurate, sufficient and unbiased. Require paving contractors to use "Trimmers" on sub grade - This requirement would help to ensure that the profile of the subgrade is consistent providing a more uniform pavement depth. Require paving contractors to provide ground penetrating radar (GPR) data prior to project acceptance - This requirement would provide non-destructive documentation with regard to pavement depths prior to project acceptance. Establish and require a standard pattern or frequency of core samples taken by the contractor prior to project acceptance - This requirement would provide a means of documenting adequate and consistent pavement depths. It is a much less expensive and more common method than GPR; however, it is less accurate on an overall basis and is destructive to the pavement. Provide a procedure and standard protocol in the event documentation shows deficiencies in pavement thickness or quality - This requirement establishes a lrnown consequence to a contractor and an incentive to install the pavement correctly the first time. This process could be included in updated specifications or spelled out in the criteria manual. Miscellaneous improvements to overall process 0 Work: to ensure that final development plans received at the preconstruction conference are adequate, accurate, complete and identical to that which was approved at P&Z or through the DRC process. 0 Properly inform developers of all necessary steps. Developers should not be passed on to preconstruction if all previous requirements have not been met. In addition, political pressure and premature starts tend to complicate issues during construction. 0 Have three-way contacts with an Exhibit A showing subtotals so that Inspections doesn't have to try to break: out the various types of construction. 0 Staff attending pre-construction meetings should review project plans in advance rather than during the meetings (the first item under this subcategory should help to ensure that this has happened). . . . .

BACKGROUND At the July 20, 2004, Council Work: Session Meeting, the City Council held a discussion concerning a February 5, 2005, Capital Improvement Bond Election. The Council instructed staff to proceed with the process necessary to create a special 50-member Citizens Advisory Committee. At the August 3, 2004 Council Meeting, each Council Member was ask:ed to appoint seven (7) citizens to the Advisory Committee. The entire Council selected Mark: Burroughs to chair the Committee. Mr. Burroughs chose Randy Robinson as co-chair. The Committee held its first meeting on August 30,2004. They organized into seven groups to begin gathering data. The groups appointed their own chairs and met with the following entities: City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, Chambers of Commerce, Universities and DISD, the County Commissioners, citizens, and City staff. After this information-gathering phase was completed, the Committee reorganized into three project teams: Community Development, Park:s and Recreation, and Transportation. Each Team presented their teams' recommended proj ects to the whole Committee. After considering all of the information, the Committee voted to recommend proj ects for a capital improvement bond election for February 5, 2005. The Committee presented their recommendation at the Joint City CouncillPlanning and Zoning Commission Public Hearing on October 20, 2004. The Planning and Zoning Commission then voted to recommend the Committee recommendation to the City Council. The City Council discussed the recommendations and held a public hearing at the November 2, 2004 Council meeting. The Council discussed the structuring of the proposed Capital Improvement Program and ballot at the November 9, 2004 Council Work: Session. On November 16, 2004, the Council passed an ordinance calling an election to be held on February 5, 2005. The election was held and the City Council adopted an ordinance canvassing the election returns on February 16, 2005. Agenda Information Sheet March 7,2005 Page 2 ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT See attached schedule. FISCAL INFORMATION The Capital Improvement Bond Election totaled $42.4 million and was held on February 5, 2005. EXHIBITS Bond Election Brochures Election Results Proposed Five- Year Capital Improvement Program Respectfully submitted: Kathy DuBose Assistant City Manager What is being proposed? On February 5,2005, all registered voters in the City of Denton will have an opportunity to decide whether a $42.4 million capital improvement program (CIP) should be approved. This important election includes three main categories of improvements: transporta- tion, public buildings, and the park system. How were projects selected to be included in this CIP bond election? The process took many months. The Denton City Council appointed 50 citizens to a Citizen CI P Advisory Committee. After working with city staff and soliciting input from the general public, neighbor- hoods, community groups, local universities, Denton ISO, and chambers of commerce, the Citizen CIP Advisory Committee recommended to City Council what projects would be included in the bond election. How will the CIP bond program affect my property tax? If the bond program is approved, up to a four-cent property tax rate increase per $100 evaluation may be necessary over the course of the next five years.

We have responded to 14 important questions to provide information on issues related to the bond program. Many of these questions were asked by members of the City Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the Citizen CI P Advisory Committee during the formulation and review of the recommended program. Several public meetings and hearings have been held, and after almost six months of intense plan- ning and study, all of these groups have approved the three propositions and all of the projects that are included to help address existing needs. Changes in Denton's projected growth rate of eight percent would enable us to complete the five-year CI P earlier or require the City Council to lengthen the program, if necessary. Please study the facts carefully and vote on all three propositions on February 5, 2005.

QUEST/ON 4: How will the CI P be financed? If the voters approve the propositions, general obligation bonds will be sold, and the proceeds of the bond sales will be used to finance the projects. Traditionally, the citizens have been asked to support bond issues for capital improvements about every five years. This program is scheduled for a five- year build-out and is virtually the only method available to keep pace with our capital needs. QUEST/ON 5: Will the $42.4 million be spent all at once? No, the $42.4 million will be spent over the anticipated five-year life of the CI P. A portion of the authorized bonds will be sold each year. QUEST/ON 6: How will the CI P bond program affect my property tax? If the bond program is approved, up to a four-cent property tax rate increase per $100 evaluation may be necessary over the course of the next five years. QUEST/ON 7: How can we be sure that the money will be used for its intended purposes if the propositions are approved? The City Council will establish a bond oversight committee of Denton citizens. This group is typically appointed from the members of the Citizen CI P Advisory Committee because of their familiarity with the projects. This group usually remains in place for the entire life of the program. QUEST/ON 8: How will residential and arterial streets be chosen for construction? Residential and arterials streets will be chosen for improvements and construction based on the 2003 Pavement Management Survey. This survey helped the City of Denton analyze the condition of streets in Denton and establish priorities for improvements. Funding is allotted for streets on a "worst first" basis. QUEST/ON 9: Will the city pay the total cost of improvements on transportation projects? No. Several of the projects, such as the Fort Worth Drive railroad bridge and the Mayhill Road engineering and right of way projects, include just a small portion of the funding needed to make these improvements happen. The overall bond projects could bring in over $53 million in additional funding from federal, state, county, and private sources. QUEST/ON 10: Why do we need to purchase park land now? Based on the city's current population, there is a 200-plus acre shortage in community and citywide parks. These are parks like North Lakes and Evers that provide the majority of athletic facilities to youth. Youth baseball, soccer, and softball organizations project that their numbers will most likely double in the next ten years, creating a significant shortage of field space. Buying the land now, before land prices increase further, should be more economical for the city in the long run, and allow for the development of youth athletic facilities in the next ten years. QUEST/ON 11: Why can't we pay for citywide parks out of the Park Land Dedication and Development fees? These fees are to fund neighborhood park development only, like Avondale and Joe Skiles, and must be spent within a one-half mile radius of where the fees were collected. QUEST/ON 12: Why is additional Senior Center space needed? The Denton Parks and Recreation Master Plan indicates a need to provide more recreation programming space for the growing senior age population. Currently the Senior Center at Civic Center Park is out of space to accommodate new programs and additional users. Over 74,000 senior visits are tracked at the facility each year and this number grows by about three percent annually. QUEST/ON 13: Why do we need more library space and additional parking? Operational since December 1995, the South Branch Library circulates 35 percent of the total circulation of the Denton Public Library System. The library barely has room to accommodate patrons and staff and is now full to capacity, with no additional floor space for reading tables and chairs, shelving for books and materials, or computer workstations for children and adults. A critical need to expand the South Branch Library was recommended in the 1999 library master plan. QUEST/ON 14: Whom can I contact if I have more questions about the CIP bond program?

No appraisal/property tax caps . Restructured timing of projects for the five-year CIP . Revised associated O&M impact . Restructured debt from level principal to equal debt payments . Tax rate increase of 2cþ beginning 2007-08 Certificate of Obligation Projects 2005 - 06 Multi-Modal Station . This funding will be applied to two different but related projects that are part of a proposed Public Transportation Service Plan for the City. The 05-06 outlay of $1.4 million will be applied towards the initial property acquisition for two proposed multi-modal transportation stations for the southern retail/medical district and downtown. The $2.5 million for 06-07 is identified for additional land acquisition. Runway Extension . The funds identified for the runway extension will be applied to the land acquisition, engineering and construction phases of the TxDOT approved Runway Extension project. The initial $700,000 will be used as grant match to complete land acquisition, design phase and construction. City Hall East Renovation . As the Police Department grows, the demand for additional space has and will continue to increase. Currently, there is approximately 6,000 square feet in the east end of City Hall East that is available for expansion. This funding will be used to renovate this unimproved area for use by the Police Department as needs dictate. HV AC Replacement Program . The HV AC Replacement Program has been suspended since 2002. Due to the extensive costs of potential repair and/or maintenance of HV AC systems, we begin to replace deferred units in 05-06. 1 / 3 2006 - 07 Public Safety Training Facility . The Public Safety Training Center will be comprised of four primary functions: fire tower/burn building, firearms range, classrooms and a driving track. It will be the centralized training center for both the Denton Fire Department and Police Department, as well as, a regional Public Safety Training Facility through local colleges and universities for firefighter, paramedic and police officer recruit classes. Multi-Modal Station . This funding will be applied to two different but related projects that are part of a proposed Public Transportation Service Plan for the City. The 05-06 outlay of $1.4 million will be applied towards the initial property acquisition for two proposed multi-modal transportation stations for the southern retail/medical district and downtown. The $2.5 million for 06-07 is identified for additional land acquisition. Roof Replacement Program . In 06-07, we begin to replace previously deferred roofs for City facilities. 2007 - 08 Public Safety Radio Antenna . This funding will provide for a major upgrade of the 800Mhz Public Safety Radio system, to include the acquisition of property and the addition of a second antenna tower, simulcasting all transmissions and installation of necessary upgrades to support enhanced and improved communications, as well as, radio systems interoperability. Replace Fire Engine . The Fire Department is in need of replacing a fire engine purchased in 1988. This piece of equipment has reached the end of its useful life as a front line unit and upon replacement will be transitioned to reserve status. 2008 - 09 Airport Western Development . Major infrastructure improvements, such as constructing the tower and terminal, realignment of the taxiway, expansion of existing aircraft aprons and extension of the runway are currently completed, in progress or scheduled for construction. This funding will provide the grant match opportunities to provide the additional 2/3 infrastructure, as identified in the Airport Master Plan, necessary for future expansion of the airport in the southeast area of the air field. The improvements include land purchase, public access taxiways, roads and drainage improvements. Replace Fire Engine . The Fire Department is in need of replacing a fire engine purchased in 1993. This piece of equipment has reached the end of its useful life as a front line unit and upon replacement will be transitioned to reserve status. Replace Fire Quint . The Fire Department is in need of replacing a fire quint purchased in 1996. A quint is a fire engine equipped with an aerial device and additional ladders. This piece of equipment has reached the end of its useful life as a front line unit and upon replacement will be transitioned to reserve status as a ladder truck to improve our insurance rating. Flooring Replacement Program . In 08-09, we begin to replace previously deferred flooring in City facilities. HV AC Replacement Program . We continue the scheduled replacement of HV AC systems in City facilities. Roof Replacement Program . This funding is for the continuation of our Roof Replacement Program. 3/3 PROPOSED FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ASSOCIATED O&M COSTS 2005-06 Projected 2006-07 Proposed 2007 -08 Proposed 2008-09 Proposed 2009-10 Proposed Fire Station 7 - Quint Co. personnel 995,000 1 ,024,850 1 ,055,596 1,087,263 1 , 119,881 -O&M 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 225,000 - Ambulance Co. 875,000 900,000 900,000 Emily Fowler Renovation O&M 49,301 50,780 52,303 53,873 55,489 Emily Fowler personnel 385,049 396,600 408,498 420,753 433,376 Airport Terminal 22,560 23,237 23,934 24,652 25,391 Parks Operation & Maintenance 32,000 144,000 361,000 387,000 South Branch Library Expansion 209,462 215,746 222,218 228,885 Runway Extension 7,000 27,000 27,810 28,644 CH E Renovation 30,000 30,900 31,827 32,782 Public Safety Training Facility 830,000 854,900 880,547 Senior Center Expansion 43,899 45,216 46,572 Public Safety Radio Antenna Total for CIP O&M $ 1,651,910 $ 1,973,929 $ 3,906,876 $ 4,229,512 $ 4,363,568 Shift 1 1/2 cents from Debt to O&M rate beginning 2005-06 $ 708,741 $ 765,440 $ 826,676 $ 892,810 $ 964,234 PROPOSED TAX RATES Debt Service rate O&M rate Total Tax Rate 2004-05 0.19887 0.39928 0.59815 2005-06 0.18387 0.41428 0.59815 2006-07 0.18387 0.41428 0.59815 2007 -08 0.20387 0.41428 0.61815 2008-09 0.20387 0.41428 0.61815 2009-10 0.20387 0.41428 0.61815
