Funding Strategy for Capital Improvement Plan
Funding Strategy Approach FUNDING TOTAL CAPITAL ALL OTHER NEEDED FROM IMPROVEMENT FUNDING PARK IMPACT PLAN SOURCES FEES
Other Funding Sources
Park Impact Fee 10-Year Projections
Capital Improvement and Funding Summary • *Sustainable Projects are TYPICALLY not eligible for PIF Funding/$600K already committed for Memorial Park ADA improvements • $5.3M PIF Balance
Project Prioritization Criteria • Immediate Projects – Projects needed due to health, safety, legal and/or ADA issues, as well as to protect the City’s current investment in facilities • Benefit-Driven Projects - Projects that meet the park land and amenity needs of the community, complete a partially-developed project and/or serve as a potential catalyst for economic development • Opportunity-Driven Projects - Projects that leverage resources and offer partnership opportunities, are located on a significant site and/or promote economic development opportunities • Financial Capacity - Assumes funding is available for both capital AND long- term O&M costs (we cannot not take on a project that we cannot afford to maintain)
Summary • 10 Year Capital Improvement Program o $179 M o $ 4.5M is “unfunded” (lifecycle replacement in existing parks) • Other Funding Sources – 83 % allocated to funding sources other than PIF based on the assumptions as presented • Park Impact Fee - assumes PIF remains the same for next 10 years • Measure N - Not factored into funding model • New Funding Sources - Does not consider a new, dedicated funding source for parks (i.e. lifecycle replacement)
CEQA Analysis
CEQA Analysis Summary • CEQA Analysis Required for Central Park Project Area • Three components of Central Park Project Area o Barge Canal Parkway Pedestrian/Bike Multi-use Trail and Bridge o Stone Lock Plaza Covered Event Structure o Sacramento River Parkway Sacramento Barge Canal Stone Lock River Parkway Parkway Plaza
