It includes a one-year recommendation for the Town's capital budget. The CIP is one of the mechanisms that implement the Town's General Plan. It allocates funds to programs specified in the General Plan, uses implementation of the General Plan in at least two of the project evaluation criteria, and its evaluation criteria are based on the goals established in the General Plan. FY 2001-02 C1 P The CIP is divided into four funds: the General Fund, the Public Transportation Fund, Highway Fund, and the Townwide Roadway Development Impact Fees Fund. Expenditures from the latter two funds are limited, respectively, to roadway/transportation items and roadway capacity improvements. The following is a summary of the funds and requests for the coming fiscal year. Chapter 4 covers this in greater detail. TABLE 1: SUMMARY OF FUNDS AVAILABLE AND FUNDS REQUESTED Fund Type Amount Amount Available Requested General $710,000 $1,327,000 Public Transportation $34,500 $34,500 Highway $965,000 $965,000 9 Y Townwide Roadway Development Impact Fees $6,708,000 $3,618,000 The TACp rioritized all the projects eligible for funding from the General Fund using the evaluation criteria (explained in detail in Chapter 3) and the projects were ranked in order of the points it received. The projects eligible for the Public Transportation Fund, Highway Fund, and Roadway Development Impact Fees were reviewed by the TAC but not ranked as there were sufficient funds for all related projects. The recommended funding for the General Fund is based on the evaluation scores assigned by the CIP Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC recommended that the following General Fund projects be funded: 1 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 TABLE 2: GENERAL FUND PROJECTS - FUNDED Proj. # Project Name Dept./ Ranking Town Division Funding GF2 Replace Prog Marked Patrol Vehicles PD Assumption $169,000 GF13 Gators (Replacement) PR Assumption 14,000 GF19 Replacement Vehicle BS Assumption 17,000 GF21 Office 97 to Office 2000 IS Assumption 27,000 GF22 Computer Replacement Program IS Assumption 51,000 GF1 Mobile Data Terminals PD 1,800 65,000 G F9 Prisoner Transport Van Court 1,435 26,000 GF10 Playground Shade Structure PR 1,010 25,000 GF15 Irrigation Upgrades-Dennis Weaver PR 1010 27,000 GF6 La Canada Access/Secured Parking PD 955 220,000 G F11 Park Furniture PR 765 15,000 GF3 Replace Prog Unmarked Admin Veh.

Specifically following issues were discussed: • Assumption Projects: There was a discussion whether the assumption projects like Police vehicles be removed from the CIP process, as they are always recommended for funding. However, the Committee decided to keep these projects part of the CIP process and the Committee may in future need to reassess the assumptions used in this process. • New Funding Sources: Due to the growing needs of the community, the Town does need to look into alternate funding sources for various projects. 2 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 • Public / Private Partnership: The Town needs to explore avenues whereby the projects could be funded with public/ private funding sources. • Lack of Understanding about Town: The TAC recommended that the Town needs to educate and inform its residents about the Town. There is a lack of understanding about various Town activities. • Project Ranking: TAO used negative ranking (-5 to + 5 points) this year to evaluate and 9 rank theJ ro'ects. TAC found this to be more effective than ranking projects from 0 to 10 P points as used in the previous years. • Naranja Town Site: It is anticipated that existing revenue sources will not be sufficient to fund any substantial development of the Naranja Town Site. Therefore, the Town should pursue additional revenue sources, supplementary to its existing local sales taxation structure, to fund the development of the site. Potential revenue sources that the Town may wish to pursue include additional sales tax collections generated from increased sales tax rates or the local sales taxation of goods and services currently not taxed, franchise fees on utilities, secondary property taxes as well as personal and corporate donations. Should it be determined that additional taxation is necessary, the citizens of the community should be educated and informed about the specifics of the proposal. The CIP TAC would volunteer to help promote the informational effort prior to a public vote. The Town may also wish to consider sunset provisions in conjunction with any potential taxation measures. ISSUES Capital projects funded for FY 2001-'02 are shown in Chapter 4 of this document. Projects for P fiscalY ears 2002-'03 through 2005-'06 are shown in Appendix B. General Fund projects proposed for the next four years total significantly more than the available funds. The Town needs to consider long term debt financing in order to implement projects such as Naranja Town Site and park development. The Highway Fund needs are expected to remain level over this four year span. Adequate revenues should be available to meet those needs. Although the Townwide Roadway Development Impact Fees needs are expected to increase to over $2 million in future years, the available funds are expected to be $4 million to $6 million. Efforts will continue to be made to leverage impact fee collections with federal and state roadway grant funding. 3 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 REPORT ORGANIZA TION This report starts with an introduction to the CIP, its policies and its assumptions. Some of the key terms are defined in the first section, but the reader should consult the Glossary Appendix A endix A for other unfamiliar terms. The second and third sections cover the process, the schedule, and the public information program followed by the criteria and weights used to evaluate projects. The fourth section, the financial section, covers the available funds and the recommended utilization of those funds for the next fiscal year. The fifth section covers the CIP implementation program including reports to the Council and the method used to evaluate projects and establish the recommended capital budget. I I 4 I Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 I. INTRODUCTION Providing infrastructure is a primary function of local government. Maintaining public safety, town services, parks and recreation facilities, an adequate transportation system, and the community's quality of life are all heavily dependent on how the Town handles infrastructure issues. PURPOSE The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) implements the Oro Valley General Plan by developing a prioritized schedule of short-range and long-range community capital needs, evaluating projects, and analyzing the community's ability and willingness to pay for them in the most cost effective way. The CIP is the method by which Oro Valley determines future infrastructure requirements and plans the financing of facilities and equipment to provide services over a five-year period. MISSION STATEMENT "To define five year capital improvement priorities and financial feasibility by creating a process and producing a document that responds to public desires, needs, and elements of the Town's General Plan." WHAT IS A CAPITAL PROJECT AND A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN? Capital Projects are those which: • cost over$10,000; • have an expected useful life of two years or more; and • become an asset of the Town. The only exceptions to this definition are police patrol units which may have a useful life of less than two years but will still be considered capital projects. A Capital Improvements Plan is a multi-year plan that projects spending for all anticipated capital projects for the Town. The Plan, programs by fiscal year, repair and replacement of existing infrastructure as well as the development of new facilities to accommodate both current needs and future growth. The CIP looks at competing needs, costs and potential funding sources. The CIP 5 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 process and plan resolves the choices about what to build or buy, where and when to build or buy it, and how much to spend on it. The CIP links the Town's planning and budgeting functions by providing a separate policy P Y document to address the Town's capital needs. It establishes the Capital Budget, which will be submitted as the capital outlay portion of the FY 2001-02 Town Budget. There are five basic components to the CIP: 1. Infrastructure inventory. 2. Needs assessment that identifies all needed and planned community infrastructure. 3. Financial analysis and determination of options and projected costs. 4. An infrastructure plan that programs infrastructure by year for a five-year period. 5. A capital budget for the first year of the CIP. POLICIES AND ASSUMPTIONS Over the years, the Town of Oro Valley has financed a substantial portion of capital improvements through operating revenue and use of reserves. The pay-as-you-go financial policy has been the Town's "modus operandi" in the past. The goal of the Oro Valley debt management policy is to maintain the Town's ability to incur present and future debt at the most beneficial interest rates in amounts needed for financing the CIP, without adversely affecting the Town's ability to finance essential community services. POLICY STATEMENTS • The Town will maintain, at a minimum, a contingency reserve that represents 25% of the combined annual expenditures of the General Fund and the Highway Fund. Contingency reserves in excess of the minimum may, at the discretion of the Council, be used to fund "one- time non-recurring" expenditures, including capital improvement plan items. • The Town will develop an annual budget whereby recurring Town revenues will be sufficient to support recurring operational expenditures with no use of the General Fund Contingency to support ongoing operational expenses. • The Town of Oro Valley shall allocate at least $1,000,000 annually out of available surplus 6 I Capital Improvements Plan FY 2401-'06 funds for capital projects. Surplus funds shall be considered all moneys accumulated from overestimated cost projections, unspent funds, or operational surpluses. Funds will be available only after the minimum fund balances have been preserved. • A five-year capital improvement plan will be developed and updated annually along with corresponding anticipated funding sources. • The Town shall open a separate CIP Capital Account. Barring an emergency, funds can be disbursed from this account only if the project has been through the CIP Evaluation Process. • The CIP Capital Account shall maintain a $50,000 emergency fund balance at all times. Should this emergency fund be used, Town Council shall reimburse the emergency fund at the next scheduled Council meeting. Requests to tap into the emergency fund will be screened by the Town Manager with Council approval necessary for disbursement. • The CIP Capital Account shall maintain an $25,000 balance for the completion of traffic signal projects when they are warranted. When this fund is used, Town Council shall allocate funds to reimburse the traffic signal fund as soon as possible. • If the Town determines that a funded project is not needed, the Town Council may allocate that money to another project on the approved CIP list. • Pay-as-you-go financing will be an integral part of the Oro Valley CIP. • Efforts will be made to maintain or improve the Town's bond rating. • Capital projects and improvement districts financed through the issuance of bonded debt will be financed for a period not to exceed the useful life of the project. • The Town shall consider forming improvement districts upon the request of residents based on public benefit, debt equity, and need. • All Town departments will investigate ways and strive to become more self-supporting. • The Town shall avoid utilizing lease purchase agreements to finance relatively small purchases, such as vehicles. • • The Town shall work aggressively with developers to help future development pay for itself. • Department Heads shall meet prior to the annual CIP Update Process to discuss the best use 40• of equipment and vehicle replacement program funds. These recommendations shall be 410 submitted to the TAC for review and discussion. •� • Using open lines of communication, departments shall consolidate purchases whenever • possible to maximize use of funds. � 7 r • • Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'08 • When purchasing equipment, department heads shall consider compatibility with equipment in other departments. • Project Sheets must be submitted by the deadline set each year by the TAC. If a project sheet is submitted after the deadline, the Town Manager and Department Head will evaluate the request and decide if it could not have been anticipated before the submittal deadline and if it is a critical need. If it meets these two criteria it will be forwarded to the CIP TAC for consideration. POLICY REGARDING "ROLLOVER" OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS The Town of Oro Valley recognizes that some capital projects require.a lengthy process to prepare bid specifications, interview contractors and suppliers, and execute the work. In some cases, a capital project may be approved for a fiscal year but a contract is not ready for completion by the end of that fiscal year. In these cases, department heads need assurances that such projects can "rollover" into the next fiscal year, due to the fact that CIP priorities for that year will have been established several months earlier. The Oro Valley Capital Improvements Plan permits the "rollover" of projects from one fiscal year to the next, under the following provisions: 1. Once a department head has determined that a project will not be awarded by the end of a fiscal year, that department head is responsible for requesting that the CIP be amended by the Town Council as part of the budget process for the coming fiscal year; 2. The department head must demonstrate that the budget funds are still available and may be retained for the following year without detrimental impacts on approved CIP projects for the coming fiscal year; and 3. Each project is allowed no more than one such rollover. CIP ASSUMPTIONS - FY 2001-'02 In addition to the above policy statements, the following assumptions were made in the development of the Oro Valley CIP. State shared sales tax, income tax, highway user and local transportation assistance revenue funds are estimated to increase by 45% due to the Town's population growth from the 2000 census. Local sales tax proceeds are estimated to increase by 5%to 7%. 8 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 IL CIP PROCESS This section covers the schedule and public input process used this year to complete the capital improvements plan. It included technical advisory committee (TAC), a consultant-moderator, and support staff to analyze community needs, do public outreach, and develop a prioritized CIP. The overall process was similar to that of previous years, except for an extensive public participation program this year. • TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETINGS The TAC is an integral part of the CIP process. It consists of citizens, a council representative, department representatives, board and commission representatives, and town staff. The TAC list that comprised of about 25 members including both voting and non-voting members is shown in the cover pages of this document. The TAC held several meetings to develop the CIP. The schedule and components of the CIP process that lasted over a period of six months are: September Prepare CIP Plan and set the process October Public Outreach, Project requests submitted by Dept. Heads November Evaluate public input, TAC reviews project requests and evaluation criteria December Council adopts goals and reviews request list January TAO prioritizes requests and recommends 2001-2002 CIP budget February CIP reviewed by Commission and adopted by Council The detailed CIP work plan is shown on Table 3.

Staff 10 i t Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'00 conductedpresentations resentations at homeowners association meetings, conducted a town-wide CIP input survey, presented CIP information at various community events, and updated Town's website topresent CIP information. All these components are explained in detail as follows: Community Outreach Workshops/Events Staff sent letters to all the homeowners associations (HOAs) in August informing them about the upcoming CIP. Staff also made presentations at the board meetings of various HOAs including p g Sun City Vistoso and Canada Hills associations and civic organizations including the Northwest Chamber of Commerce. In addition, staff attended community events with the CIP surveys like the GOVAC Jazz festival, GAIN event, and Kids concert at Town Hall. CIP on Town's Website This year staff worked on adding the CIP information on Town's Website. The CIP survey was added as a hot link on the Town's homepage. The CIP process was added on the web for the residents to understand this process. CIP Public Input Survey In addition to the presentations, Staff developed a CIP public input survey and mailed to all the residents of the Town via the Town of Oro Valley Water Department's October water bill. The survey was also distributed at various homeowners' meeting in the month of October and was posted on the web site of the Town. Staff received over 2000 completed surveys from the • public, which is about 20% return rate. 110 •S There were two main components of the survey. The first part was to find out in which project categories the residents would like to spend the Town funds. The residents were asked to assume if they had $100,000, then in which project categories would they like to spend the • • funds. The following eight different project categories were listed: Roadway projects, Improved lb service at Town Hall, Parks and Recreation projects, Library projects, Transit, Bicycle Lanes, Drainage, and Police cars. In addition, there was an `Other' category where the residents could list the category of their choice and assign funds. The copy of the survey is attached in the g Appendix E. 4P 11 • Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 The second part of the survey was to find out the specific project requests or any other comments from the residents. All the comments received from the HOAs and from residents were summarized and presented to the TAC at their November meeting. These comments are included in Appendix D of this document. The data from all the surveys was analyzed and is summarized in the table below. The average g was computed by dividing the total dollars in each category by the number of surveys. TABLE 4: DATA ANALYSIS Roadway Improved Parks & Town Transit Bicycle Drainage Police 4r Improveme Town Rec.

Project Categories Percent$ Roadway Improvements 36% Town Library 16% Parks & Recreation Facilities 12% Police Service and Cars 11% Drainage to reduce flooding 9% Bicycle Lanes 6% Transit Services 5% Improved Service at Town Hall 1% Comparing the average for different project categories, these categories were ranked in order of importance and are presented in Table 5. Residents chose to spend almost 36 percent of the 12 Imp I I Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 dollars in various types of roadway improvements. The next higher category was the Town library with 16 percent allocation of potential funds. Staff also developed a correlation matrix as shown in Table 6 below to get more insight into the community needs. The correlation index showed that there are two groups of residents in the community. One group of residents wants the Town to spend most of the funds on roadway improvements, as the roadway project category is negatively correlated with all other project categories. TABLE 6: CORRELATION MATRIX Roadway Service Parks Library Transit Bike Drainage Police Roadway 1.00 -0.11 -0.21 -0.23 -0.08 -0.04 0.02 -0.03 Service 1.00 0.24 Parks 1.00 0.35 0.32 Library 1.00 0.27 0.31 Transit 1.00 0.40 0.27 111P Bike 1.00 0.34 • Drainage 1.00 0.21 � Police 1.00 t The second group of residents would like the Town to provide more services in form of a library, bike lanes, parks and recreation services among others. This has been inferred by the positive 111 correlation between library, parks & recreation, transit and bike project categories. IP CIP Press Releases � Staff also sent out many timely press releases to inform the public about the CIP process. The CIP information was also printed on Town Page in the local newspaper. • •r • • � 13 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 1 • III. EVALUATION CRITERIA AND WEIGHTS • • One of the most important requirements for an effective selection process is the establishment of • clearly defined, pre-specified criteria upon which the assessment and subsequent selection of capital projects will be based. The evaluation criteria that reflect changes in the Town's priorities become the guidelines for the CIP decision making process. This was done early in the process to allow objective decisions to be made subsequently. The evaluation criteria were selected on the following basis: 1. They refer to issues so important to local governments that ignoring them could have serious consequences. 2. They refer to items generally measurable in one form or other. 3. They are realistic. 4. They permit at least some degree of objectivity in ratings. aly 5. Most importantly, in their generic form, they represent criteria applicable to a wide variety of capital projects. • •EVALUATION CRITERION • TAC selected seven criteria, as described in the following pages, for use in the formation of the Capital Improvements Plan. Every project is evaluated against the same criteria. This ensures the most objective process possible and leads to consistent decision making. The criteria are discussed in detail below: I. PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE • Does the project improve or specifically address the health, safety, and welfare in the community? • Does the project specifically address a pressing and growing need? Examples: street improvements often affect safety, landscaping and open space often affect welfare, etc. II. SUPPORTS STATED COMMUNITY GOALS • Does the project help implement policies in the General Plan or other adopted plan? 14 � Capital improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 • ■ Will the project positively affect the environment? And/or help the town deal with an environmental issue/problem/mandate? • Is the project a part of or consistent with an articulated, acceptable mid-short or long- range program? I WP • Does the request implement some or all of the recommendations of a previous study? ■ Has the project been specifically identified by the public in previous community forums, 11 surveys, etc.? ■ Has the project consistently been included in previous CIPs? +� III. FISCAL IMPACT • • Does the project have a positive impact on town revenues? • Does the request bring in additional outside funds in some proportion? • Is the project realistic from a financial standpoint? (Consider direct costs as well as � ongoing and additional costs such as those to provide temporary services during implementation of the project.) • Are funds already dedicated or available for the project? qi • Is the project an efficiency improvement project (see Glossary)? This criterion refers to any costs required to complete the project — costs after completion of the project are O&M costs. 411 IV. IMPACT ON SERVICE LEVELS • Does the project bring the town up to a required service level? w • Does the project improve service levels? Service levels are established levels or standards of service that the Town provides its citizens. 11, 4111 atV. IMPACT ON OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE • Does the project have a positive impact on the Town's Operation and Maintenance (O&M) budget? • Is the project an efficiency improvement project? • Is this a low-maintenance project? • Does the Town have the ability (staff,funds, etc.)to support this in O&M? This criterion refers to internal operations after project completion versus services to the • public service levels. 11. 15 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 VI. LEGAL RAMIFI CA TIONS ■ Does the project decrease the town's exposure to liability actions? ■ Does the project meet or address local regulations. VII. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS/COORDINATION ■ Does this project coordinate well with other projects underway? ■ Can the project be effectively coordinated with other projects (for instance water and/or sewer line repairs done in conjunction with roadwork)? ■ Will all prerequisite projects be complete before this project is scheduled? ■ Is the project timely or does it provide a critical "window" of opportunity? ■ Does this project create minimal disruption or inconvenience to the public? This criterion refers to the coordination of projects not interdepartmental / intergovernmental staff coordination—those are more likely to be efficiency improvements. CRITERIA WEIGHTS Since some criteria are associated with more critical operations of the Town, therefore each criterion has been assigned "Weighting Points". For instance, "Public Health, Safety, and Welfare" criteria have a greater emphasis, therefore 95 weighting points were assigned to it. On the other hand "Relationship to Other Projects/Coordination" criteria has been assigned 65 weighting points. The following Table lists the criteria and the weight assigned to them.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2001-`02 The purpose of this chapter is to present the Town of Oro Valley CIP for the next five fiscal years. � It presents the next fiscal year's capital budget in detail. The funding for the next four years is provided in Appendix B. FY 2001-`02 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM FUNDING •• Available Funds • �► Funding for projects included in the Town's CIP is derived from a variety of sources, including � the General Fund, the Public Transportation Fund, the Highway Fund, and the Townwide • Roadway Development Impact Fees Fund. Primary revenue sources of the General Fund • include local sales taxes, state shared income and sales taxes, County auto lieu tax collections, • state and federal grants, and license and permit fees. Expenditures of the General Fund may be made for all municipal purposes. Primary revenue sources of the Highway Fund include state shared fuels taxes and federal di VA grants. Expenditures from this fund are legally limited to roadway and transportation related • items. Roadway development impact fees are collected at the issuance of a building permit on the construction of all single family and multi-family residential units. Expenditures may only be made for roadway system capacity improvements. at Funding in the amount of $5,080,000 for the construction of a Town library is included in the FY • 2000-'01 budget. Construction will most likely begin in FY 2001-`02. • Current revenues are insufficient to fund all of the submitted project requests. In developing the CIP, a comprehensive review of all available financial resources was made. The following options were considered when analyzing potential funding sources for CIP Projects: 1. Pay-as-you-go out of current revenues. 2. Borrowing, which could include issuance of bonds. 3. Certificates of participation, paid back by town revenues. • t 19 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 • • V. IMPLEMENTATION • The success of a plan or a planning process is measured by the success of its implementation. To • • effectively implement the CIP the following program was developed. • GENERAL GUIDELINES Adoption .. The Oro Valley CIP five year program capital budget shall be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and adopted by the Town Council. Upon adoption, the Oro Valley CIP will be published and widely distributed. The Oro Valley CIP will be annually updated, reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission, and adopted by the Town Council by March of each year. Capital Budget The capital budget will be used in developing the annual Town budget. The CIP will be the foundation for each year's capital expenditures. Quarterly Reports Department Heads are responsible for preparing quarterly reports on the status of capital projects in the first year capital budget. The reports shall be made to the Town Manager and the Finance Director shall document the status. The Town Manager shall make a report to the Town Council quarterly or more often if deemed necessary, on the status of the CIP. Technical Advisory Committee The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which is composed of citizens, a utility representative, a s Council representative, department representatives, board and commission representatives, • citizens, and town staff shall reconvene at least three months prior to the adoption of the CIP each year. The purpose of the TAC will be to identify new capital projects to be added to the CIP, review and/or modify evaluation criteria, evaluate CIP projects, and produce an updated CIP. The Town of Oro Valley may want to use an outside facilitator each year during the project evaluation process to ensure objectivity and consistency in ranking of the projects. (See Implementation of the Decision Making Matrix below for more detail) 28 Capita! Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 Public Involvement Citizen involvement is an important element of the plan. This involvement could entail participation at Town Hall meetings, community surveys, public hearings, focus group meetings, membership on the TAC, newspaper articles, etc. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DECISION MAKING MATRIX The Decision-Making Matrix is composed of the evaluation criteria and the weights. It is used to rank all projects, excluding assumption projects, for the next fiscal year. This is done by assigning points to each project against each criterion on a scale of -5 to 5, with 5 being the most favorable rating. The TAC assigns the points. The scores are then multiplied by the weight of the criterion � and the results are totaled to yield a total score for each project. The projects are then ranked, • highest to lowest, by funding category, according to their total ratings. They are funded in order of SP rank until there are no more projected capital funds available. • The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) works as a team to evaluate and rank the projects. • • They first determine if a project is an assumption project per the definition. Then, if it is not, they rate it using the decision matrix. All decisions are made by a consensus of the TAC. The following Alp is the process for carrying out this phase of the CIP: or f Step 1: Re-visit the Evaluation Criteria The TAC shall meet to discuss the Evaluation Criteria. At this meeting, it will be decided if the criteria used the previous year are still appropriate to the Town's current situation. Influences from both inside the Town and from external forces could necessitate the elimination, change, or addition of evaluation criteria. is op After the Evaluation Criteria are agreed upon, the TAO must then analyze the Numerical Weighting Factor given to each criterion. It is the purpose of this factor to prioritize the Evaluation Criteria in order of importance. Factors such as, citizen's changing attitudes and/or governmental mandates may lead to changes in the Numerical Weighting Factors. 46. � When the TAC has agreed upon the Evaluation Criteria and their appropriate Numerical • Weightings, any changes must be presented to the Town Council for approval before the process 1114 29 • r • Capital Improvements Plan FY 2007-'06 can proceed. Presenters to the Council should be prepared to justify recommended changes. Step 2: Project Requests Submittal Project Sheets will be submitted by Department Heads to the TAC for evaluation on a standard form (shown in Appendix F) provided by staff. Additionally, any projects that were submitted in a previous year(s) and are still considered to be needed should be updated and re-submitted. Any changes to the status of the project (e.g., a new funding source found or a change in departmental priority) should be included on the Project Sheets to ensure proper evaluation. Department Heads are encouraged throughout the year to aggressively pursue new avenues to enhance the feasibility of projects. Project Sheets must contain the following information to be considered for evaluation: 1. Project name and department. 2. Description of the project and why it is necessary. 3. Time line of the proposed project. 4. Project budget tied into the time line. 5. Potential and/or existing funding sources: Include an evaluation on the feasibility of • contracting out the work versus purchasing equipment and doing it in-house. In larger project costs like parks, include the costs of support equipment. 6. Projected operating and maintenance costs of the capital item and support equipment. 7. Projected cost savings due to increased efficiency, decreased maintenance, etc. Project sheets will be reviewed by a subcommittee of the TAC and support staff to ensure that they are acceptable prior to presentation to the CIP TAC. Project Sheets must be submitted by 10, the deadline set each year by the TAC. If a project sheet is submitted after the deadline, the • Town Manager and Department Head will evaluate the request and decide if it could not have • been anticipated for the submittal deadline and if it is a critical need. If it meets these two criteria it will be forwarded to the CIP TAC for consideration. Step 3: Determining the Capital Budget The Town Finance Director shall determine the amount of funds that can be placed in the CIP Capital Account for the pending year. Funding for additional projects can only be allocated after all projects currently underway are accounted for. 30 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 Step 4: Evaluation of Projects by the Technical Advisory Committee The TAC shall evaluate all Project requests. Each Project will receive a score from —5 to 5 in relation to each of the evaluation criteria. The projects will then be given a numerical total (the sum of the criteria weights times the scores) and placed in order of priority on a report of projects by funding category.cate o . This prioritized list will show the fund requests by funding category for each of the five fiscal years in the plan. Step 5: Creation of Next Fiscal Year's Capital Budget After the projects have been prioritized and reports distributed to the TAC, a meeting will be held to determine the next Fiscal Year's Capital Budget. This budget will recommend which projects should be funded in the next year. The following steps must be taken to evaluate and finance the projects: 1. All Assumption Projects must be funded first and deducted from the appropriate Capital Budget fund. 2. If there are more funds available for Capital Projects, the TAC must then use the CIP Prioritized Projects List to determine which project(s) should be funded. 3. The highest priority project on the prioritized project list for the next fiscal year must then be identified. These questions need to be asked: • Are there other projects rated higher that will be competing for the same funding source in later years? • If so, should this money be banked for these projects instead of being spent on this year's top priority? • Does another project need to be completed as a precursor to a higher-rated project in the future? • Is there a financing alternative that could be used to fund this project and thereby release funds for other lower rated projects? If it is determined that the year's top priority project is financially feasible and will not jeopardize the ability to fund future projects that are rated higher, the Project may be included in the Capital Budget of that year. 31 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 If the funds remain at this point, the second highest rated Project from the prioritized project list shall be examined in the same fashion. This procedure shall continue until all of next year's Capital Funds have been exhausted or banked to fund future projects, or all projects have been funded. If there are not sufficient funds for the next ranked project but there are funds remaining, those funds are to be placed as carry-over, non-project-specific, in the next fiscal year's budget. Step 6: Disposition of Unfunded Projects There may be lower-ranked projects that do not make it into the Annual Capital Budget. These Projects may be updated and re-submitted for the next year, or subsequent years, when the TAC Evaluation Process begins for the next Fiscal Year. These projects also may be funded later in the next fiscal year if additional funds become available. Step 7: Implementation of the CIP throughout the Fiscal Year The CIP TAC acknowledges that they are working with estimates of project costs and funds available. Therefore the TAC will meet mid-way through each fiscal year to review the status of currently funded projects and recommend any necessary changes. Step 8: Amend the CIP with the budget adopted by the Town Council The final adopted budget will be used to amend the CIP. The monies required to amend the CIP will be funded from the approved CIP budget (by replacing other, funded projects or from the Council Contingency fund. Step 9: Annual Review of the Capital Improvements Plan The CIP process is repeated annually to develop a capital budget for next fiscal year and a plan for the subsequent four years. 32 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 APPENDICES APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY OF TERMS The following is a Glossary of Terms to be used in reviewing the Oro Valley Capital Improvement Plan. The terms are used throughout the document and are important in the infrastructure planning process. Assumption projects - Projects that are deemed absolutely essential to the operation of the Town, ongoing operating capital purchases that replace existing equipment outlined by the departmental equipment replacement program, projects that have designated funding for all or a majority of the project and replacement of vehicles pursuant to standard operating procedure #34. These projects will receive priority funding from the CIP Capital Account and will not go through the project evaluation procedure. Bond - A written promise to pay (debt) a specified sum of money (called principal or face value) at a specified future date (called the maturity date[s]) along with periodic interest paid at a specified percentage of the principal (interest rate). Bonds are typically used for long-term debt. Capital Account/Budget - The capital budget is the approved fiscal commitment to develop capital projects within the current fiscal year. It appears in the annual financial plan. Capital Improvement Plan - The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a comprehensive, five-year plan of capital projects that identifies priorities as to need, method of financing, cost, and associated revenues. The plan is a guide for identifying current and future fiscal year requirements and becomes the basis for determining the annual capital budget. The CIP is reviewed, updated and annually adopted by the Town Council. Capital improvement policies - Locally accepted policies that identify the amount of funds to be expended annually through budget and borrowing as well as terms and conditions for obligating those funds. These policies also outline how the Town does business in dealing with infrastructure planning. 33 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 Capital Projects - Projects that cost over $10,000, have an expected useful life of two years or more, and become an asset of the Town. The only exceptions to this definition are police patrol units, which may have a useful life of less than two years but will still be considered capital projects. Certificate of Participation (COP) - Obligation of a public entity based on a lease or installment sale agreement. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) - Arizona Department of Commerce grants to communities that can be used for a wide range of activities including infrastructure, housing rehabilitation, economic development, planning and public services. Exact activity must principally benefit low or moderate-income persons, prevent or eliminate slums or blight, or meet other urgent community needs. Credit ratings - An independent rating service's evaluation of the credit worthiness of notes and bonds. Ratings influence the cost of borrowing. Debt - Funds owed as a result of borrowing. Debt financing -The financial policy of borrowing capital to develop a public facility and pay off the debt over a set number of years. Debt service - The amount of funds needed to pay principal and interest on outstanding bonds for a given year or series of years. Development Impact Fee Ordinance (DIFO) - A town ordinance that requires a monetary charge on development to recoup a proportionate share of the public capital costs required to accommodate that development with necessary public facilities. Discretionary revenues - Revenues that are not obligated for particular expenditures. Efficiency Improvement Projects - Projects that provide a positive cost/benefit ratio through the improvement of efficiencies. Specifically, they will have less than a three-year payback and their life span will be greater than their payback period. To qualify for this designation, a project's 34 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 i benefits must be quantified. Financial analysis -A study of the cash flow and financial capabilities of a jurisdiction to determine � its funding capacity and fiscal health. � Fiscal Year(FY)-The Town's business year beginning July 1st and running through June 30th. 1 a • General Obligation (G.O.)

Revenue for the fund is derived from gasoline tax, truck weight • O fees, and various license fees imposed on motor vehicles. Infrastructure - Public support structures such as roads, street lighting, and water lines/facilities. Impact fees - Monetary payments made by builders or developers to defray the public costs of providing infrastructure to a development. • • Improvement District - An area of the community where infrastructure improvements have been made and are being paid for by the citizens who directly benefit from the improvements over a period of years. Lease payment-The rent or service fee paid for the use of a facility. • • 35 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'06 Lease-purchase - This method of financing allows the Town to construct or acquire property and pay for it over a period of time by installment payments rather than an outright purchase. The time payments include an interest charge that is typically reduced because the recipient does not have to pay income tax on the interest. Long-term debt- Borrowed funding with a maturity of at least one-year. Local Transportation Assistance Fund (LTAF)- Funds generated from the Arizona State Lottery and are earmarked for transportation purposes to towns and cities in Arizona. The LTAF is distributed to cities based on the percentage of population. Matching requirements - The Town's contribution to a project or function required by a funding source as the basis for the funder's contribution. Matching requirements are frequently imposed as a proportionate share of the overall contribution. Operating budget - The planned expenditure of funds, excluding capital expenditures, for operations (e.g., salaries, routine maintenance, and supplies). Operational Capital - Funding made available for the overall day-to-day operations of the Town, such as lease-purchase programs for Police Department vehicles.

Rated projects - Projects that are rated by the Decision-Making Matrix procedure and placed in their prioritized order. Revenue bonds - A bond payable solely from revenues derived from tolls, charges, or rents paid by users of a facility constructed with the proceeds of the bond issue. For example, parking fees often pay off a bond used to construct parking facilities. Service levels -The amount or standard of service Oro Valley provides to its citizens. Special assessment districts - Charges assessed against properties in a limited area in exchange for special benefits conferred by a public improvement in the same section of the community. Special taxes - Usually voter-approved taxes whose revenues are designated for a particular project. Strategic planning - The planning process used to capitalize on currently optimum needs and opportunities. Taxable bonds - Municipal bonds whose interest earnings are subject to federal income taxation under the Internal Revenue Code. Tax base -A community's total property, resources, and wealth subject to taxation. Tax-exempt financing - The financing of a project through the use of bonds that exempts bondholders from taxes on interest earned from the bonds. Transfer payment - Gifts of money from one government entity to another, typically from the federal or state government to a local government. 37 Capital Improvements Plan FY 2001-'08 User charge -A fee imposed on facility or service users for upkeep and operations.
