SUBJECT:
COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS REGARDING G,O. BOND PROJECTS
At the July 23rd Commission Workshop, a PowerPoint Presentation was made regarding community
expectations for Capital Improvement Projects versus the funding available to complete projects.
The principal point of the presentation was that there is a misalignment between community
expectations and the actual funds available to pay for capital construction projects. Community
expectations for capital construction appear to be significantly higher than the City's funding and
complete said projects.
During the discussion, information was reviewed which indicated that on average neighborhoods
were funded at $116.00 per linear foot for G.O. Bond related capital improvements. What was
possible to actually build for $116/ft. was discussed. At this level of funding, improvements are
minimal. Expectations of the community for G.O. Bond related capital improvements appear to be
in the range of $400.00 per linear foot. It was discussed that as part of the community review
process in each neighborhood, choices would have to be made as to the allocation of funds particular
to that neighborhood.
As a general rule, the greatest level of concern occurs in the G.O. Bond funded projects while the
water and sewer and stormwater projects are better able to address priority needs. In both the water
and sewer and stormwater projects, a master plan was completed which formed the basis of funding
decisions made by the Commission and the community. In the G. O. Bond project areas, community
expectations were created as part of a wish list process with no connection back to budget or master
plan for prioritization of projects.
The City has formed the Capital Improve ent Project Office in an effort to help instill a level of
discipline into the construction process that will assist in delivering a consistent message, a
coordinated product and appropriate m agement of the limited resources we have for capital
projects.
A Capital Project Planning Process has been developed which will also assist in developing a
consensus in the community on design of capital projects. In this process, each neighborhood will
have an opportunity to discuss the improvements that can be constructed within the available funds
and these choices will ultimately be reviewed by the G.O. Bond Oversight Committee and finally
by the City Commission. It is imperative as we move forward to construction, that the City
Commission's review and approval of projects be seen as the end of community input and design,
so that we can actually move projects into the construction phase without undue delay.
Several ofthese issues which should be expected by the Commission were also addressed such as
neighborhoods seeking additional funding or reprioritization of funding and the possibility that
consensus may not be reached within neighborhoods depending upon the participants at community
meetings.
