The CIP contains approximately $191 8 million in planned capital improvements over the next five years. The CIP is the planning tool that provides guidance in making infrastructure and capital improvements. The 2000-2004 CIP contains planned expenditures in the following areas: Wastewater Plant Expansion & Improvements $ 106 3 million Water & Sewer Improvements 25.6 million Street Improvements 19.0 million Vehicles & Equipment Replacements / Expansions 8 6 million Parks & Recreation Improvements 6 8 million Off -Street Parking Improvements 6 6 million Airport Improvements 3 5 million Bridge & Drainage Improvements 3 0 million Fire Safety Improvements 2 1 million Community Development Improvements 1 8 million Sidewalk Improvements 1 7 million Police Safety Improvements 1 4 million Solid Waste Improvements 0 8 million Other Capital Improvements 4 6 million The projected cost of constructing a new wastewater treatment plant and making improvements to the City s current wastewater collection system and the Paul Noland Wastewater Treatment Plant is incorporated in this capital improvement program at an estimated cost of $106.3 million. The process for completing the annual update of the City's Five -Year Capital Improvements Program began in June with the preparation of projected funding available and a packet distributed to in-house staff to be used in the submission of capital projects. Since that time, numerous staff r • • • meetings have been held concerning the proposed CIP to assist in fine tuning it. In addition, City Council committee meetings, Airport Board meetings, and Parks & Recreation Advisory Board meetings have been held to obtain comments on the proposed improvements. By adopting the CIP, the City Council is providing direction on what is considered the prioritized capital replacement and expansion needs of the City during the next five-year period. As a planning tool, the CIP may be updated and/or revised on an annual basis to reflect changing priorities, to renew existing priorities, and to revise cost estimates. The funding requests for the projects planned for 2000 will be incorporated in the 2000 budget to be submitted for City Council review and approval in November.

The City began this very important and successful annual CIP process in 1988 to provide a focused plan identifying the City's infrastructure and capital needs and identifying the funding to meet those needs. Below is a table that lists planned expenditures by project category for the 2000-2004 CIP and lists the actual funds expended for the past five years 1994-1998. It is significant to note that with all the challenges faced by the City over the past few years, we have fulfilled approximately $73 million in capital and infrastructure needs. The completed improvements and those currently planned for the next five years, will help meet the needs of our current and future citizens as more pressure is placed on the City's infrastructure and capital assets due to the growth of our City and the region. Project Category Proposed Actual 2000-2004 1994-1998 Water & Sewer Improvements Street & Transportation Improvements Vehicles & Equipment Replacement / Expansion Parks & Recreation Improvements Off -Street Parking Improvements Airport Improvements Bridge & Drainage Improvements Fire Safety Improvements Community Development Police Safety Improvements Library Book Purchases and Improvements Solid Waste Improvements Other Capital Improvements Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements/Expansion $ 24,817,000 20, 740, 000 8,690,000 6,850,000 6,564,000 3,486,000 3,042,000 2,121, 000 2,015,000 1,395,000 852,000 756,000 3,741,000 107,105, 000 $ 24,814,000 14,288,000 9,497,000 2,870,000 100,000 7,936,000 1,540,000 1,198,000 1,268,000 1,11 1,000 468.000 2,837,000 3,292,000 1,999,000 Total $ 192,174,000 $ 113 WEST MOUNTAIN 72701 501-521-7700 FAX 501-575-8257 73,218,000 The 2000-2004 CIP includes $192 million in planned capital improvements over the next five years or approximately $37.4 million more in projects than the 1999-2003 CIP contained. Most of the project additions are due to increased funding for a new wastewater treatment plant and improvements to the City's wastewater collection system ($39.5 million). In addition, there is increased funding in Community Development Improvements ($1.0 million) and Bridge & Drainage Improvements ($0.5 million). Other significant project category changes include reduced funding for Water & Sewer Improvements ($2.7 million), Airport Improvements ($5.7 million), Parks & Recreation Improvements ($0.6 million), Fire Safety Improvements ($0.5 million), and Vehicles & Equipment Replacement/Expansion ($0.3 million). The projects in this CIP are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis except for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion project, which is proposed to be funded by bonds supported by either water & sewer revenues or a special revenue. Finally, improvements adopted in this CIP for the Airport, Parks & Recreation, Water & Sewer, Street, and Bridge & Drainage improvements have been reviewed and recommended by the Airport Board, Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, and City Council Street and Water & Sewer Committees respectively.

The value of the unfunded projects list has increased from $55.7 million in the 1999-2003 CIP to $72.2 million for the 2000-2004 CIP. The increase in unfunded projects is primarily attributed to the addition of the New Central Library Building project. Conclusion The CIP is a planning tool for infrastructure and other capital improvements which prioritizes projects and schedules them for completion as soon as practical. The City advocates a primarily pay- as-you-go policy. This policy requires difficult decisions to be made regarding the timing and scope of capital improvements. Some projects simply have to wait. The CIP is a five year plan that may be updated and / or revised on an annual basis to reflect changing priorities, to renew existing priorities, and to revise cost estimates. The funding requests for the projects planned for 2000 will be incorporated in the 2000 budget submitted for Council approval in November, 1999. Finally, let me express my sincere thanks to the members of City staff, the City Council, various committees, and the community for the significant effort and input that has helped to shape this document. Respectfully submitted, Fred B. Hanna Mayor VI • • • • • • CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM DIRECTIONAL INFORMATION Introduction The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) for the City of Fayetteville examines the infrastructure and capital needs of the City for the next five years. The CIP maybe reviewed and updated on an annual basis to reflect the changing needs of the community and changes in available monies for financing capital projects. The City's philosophy concerning the use of the CIP is that it should be considered as a financial planning tool that lists the City's capital improvement projects, places the projects in a priority order, and schedules the projects for funding and implementation. The CIP should be further considered as a major policy tool for the Mayor and City Council. Financing The City finances capital improvements on essentially a pay as you go basis utilizing revenue from the 1% City sales tax adopted in 1993, the 1% Parks Development (Hotel, Motel, Restaurant) sales tax adopted in 1996, and operating revenues from the Airport, Shop, Water & Sewer, and Solid Waste funds. Based on a resolution approved by the City Council, prior to the passage of the sales tax, a minimum of 75% of the sales tax revenues will be used to assist in funding capital projects. In addition, long-term debt is considered and utilized only when the City faces a project that is of such importance and sufficient financial magnitude as to warrant a bond issue. The CIP is not a financing document in and of itself. Rather, the CIP is utilized as a planning document that places projects in the annual budget whereby funds are appropriated for them by the City Council. Prior to actual initiation of project work, required contracts are presented to the Mayor or City Council, as appropriate, for final approval of expending funds. What Protects Are in the CIP Projects and their cumulative component areas totaling $10,000 or more should be included in the CIP. Projects costing less than $5,000 are not considered capital and are funded through program operating budgets. Projects that cost between $5,000- 10,000 are handled through the budget process. Attempts will be made to fund these capital items through operating funds. Projects in the CIP can include: • obligations for labor and materials and contractors involved in completing a project, • acquisition of land or structures, • engineering or architectural services, professional studies, or other administrative costs, • expenses for City vehicles and equipment, and • renovating or expanding City facilities, grounds, or equipment. VII Project Cost Determination All projects are first costed in current or 1999 dollars. Then a determination of the year the project is expected to start is made. Finally, determination of the projected cost of the improvement is made by referring to the "Project Cost Table" that provides the inflation multiplier to be used for the project in the anticipated year. Priority Selection of Projects The adopted CIP will rely on priorities defined by the Mayor, City Council, Community, and City staff. As always, cnteria such as government imposed mandates, usefulness to the community, and impact on operational expenses will be reviewed in establishing priorities. A priority ranking is assigned to each project by year and by funding source. Projects for which no funding is projected to be available will be placed on an "Unfunded Projects List", which will identify the cost of the project in 1999 dollars. This list identifies the project as being viable, but one for which no funding is presently available. Unfunded projects may be funded if actual revenue is above projected revenue, if costs on funded projects is below budget, or if another funding source is identified. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Airport Board, City Council Street Committee, and City Council Water & Sewer Committee meetings have been held to obtain committee and public input and guidance regarding parks, streets, bridge and drainage improvements, and water and sewer improvements planned for the next five years. Impact on Operations Cost The majority of the projects planned in the CIP will have a minor impact on operational budgets. Most of the projects planned over the next five years replace high maintenance water lines, sewer lines and street segments. Performing reconstruction of these items will free up maintenance budgets to address areas that currently have a lesser priority. There are a few projects that will have a significant impact on operational budgets. The most significant of these projects are listed below: • Vehicles & Equipment: The vehicles and equipment planned for 2000 in the Shop Fund will cost user divisions approximately $141,000 annually. The user divisions are charged monthly replacement and maintenance charges. These charges help to escrow funds for replacement units when the vehicle has become obsolete or is no longer suited for service. • The In -House Pavement Improvements Project will reduce maintenance costs for each street that is overlaid. In addition, this project is projected to save the City more than $100,000 annually over contract pricing for the same work. • The TCA Cable Building Renovation Project will increase operational costs by $35,000 annually for additional utility and janitorial expenses. VIII • • • • • • Organization of the Capital Improvements Program Document The document is organized into three (3) primary sections as follows: Introduction/Summary This section contains the transmittal letter from the Mayor, a CIP overview, and several summary schedules which explain the resources and uses for the CIP. The most detailed schedule is the Comprehensive Detail, which lists the individual projects, their funding sources, and the year in which they are planned to be initiated. II. Project Details by Funding Source This section of the document is actually found in six separate tabs, which are broken into the primary sources for the projects. The six tabs are as follows: (1) Airport Fund, (2) Parks Development Fund, (3) Sales Tax Capital Improvements Fund, (4) Shop Fund, (5) Water & Sewer Fund, and (6) Other Funds. Each section includes a priority listing of projects by project type and by year The priority listing for each year will be denote with an asterisk (*) if the project is a continuing project from the prior year. In addition, a project detail is included for all projects. This detail will provide specific information about each project including: the project title, funding source(s), year(s) the project is scheduled, a project description and justification, project status, and the impact of the project on operations. A visual aid is included for the project if appropriate and available. lll Unfunded Projects This section of the document contains all of the projects which are outside of the five year plan. The CIP document compilation process involves a review of all projects and resources during each update. Every attempt is made to identify as many current and anticipated projects as possible. Resources available are then matched up with as many project requests as possible. Unfortunately, there continue to be significantly more project requests than resources available. This has resulted in an extensive Unfunded Projects List totaling almost $72.2 million. All projects on this list are considered to be viable projects for which no current funding exists. Capital Improvement Policy The CIP is approached as a valuable tool to be used in the development of responsible and progressive financial planning. The program is developed in accordance within the financial policies of the City. The policies and the CIP form the basis for making various annual capital budget decisions and support the City's continued commitment to sound, long range financial planning and direction. The City's official Capital Improvement Policy is as follows: IX
