City of Live OakReport to City Council

Meeting Date: November 4, 2020

Title: Capital Improvement Plan Update

Contact Information: (Joe Aguilar, Finance Director)

Background: Since 2015, the City has prepared a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) on aperiodic basis that serves as a planning tool for potential capital projects.Attached is a PowerPoint Presentation that summarizes key parts of the CIP.No action needs to be taken for this agenda item for any individual project.Budget appropriations for active projects have already been approved throughthe adoption of each fiscal budget.

The purpose of this agenda item is to solicit input from the elected CityCouncil on capital projects beyond fiscal year 2020-21. The CIP sortsprojects into four major categories:

* Streets and Trails* General Projects (parks, buildings, public safety, etc.)* Sewer System* Water System

The funding sources listed note financial sources that are reasonable to be inplace by the year the project will begin. Every year new housing occurs, theCity receives annual allocations from the State (gas tax) and Sacramento AreaCouncil of Governments (LTP road money) and other pending grantapplications. The funding sources are not stagnant, but ever changing.

Foremost, the CIP is a planning tool. No commitments for projects are madeuntil the City completes another budget approval or the City Councilapproves another budget amendment. There is no action requested for the CIPother than discussion.

Fiscal Impacts: None.

Recommendation: Discuss and file.

provides major funding for street projects

Sewer Maintenance: next 5 years of maintenance items expected use up about half of cash reserves

Water Maintenance: must evaluate cash demands to do all identified items at this time

Park Maintenance: General Fund has just enough operating budget room to handle existing parks

19

ConclusionIn FY 20-21 and beyond the City will see . . . .

Continued improvement of the City’s transportation infrastructure

Continued improvement of the City’s water sources and delivery system

Improved and more efficient sewer treatment and collection system

Ever improving park and recreational facilities for quality community life
