Projects that extend the useful life of a asset by at least 5 years with a threshold value of at least $25,000; for example the replacement of a major component of the asset such as roofs, HV AC systems, electrical systems, fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems that due to significant deterioration would constrain the remaining useful life of the asset, OR B. Projects that significantly reduce future maintenance cost over the remaining life of the asset in an amount that is greater than the renewal and replacement costs of the project. 2. The Mayor and Commission may authorize additional uses of the funds for unforeseen or unanticipated events affecting life, health, property or public safety subject to a five-sevenths (5/7) vote. 3. The Capital Renewal and Replacement Fund shall be funded annually, commencing in Fiscal Year 2004/05, through a transfer from the General Fund. 4.

Appropriation of project specific expenditures from the Capital Renewal and Replacement Fund shall be included in the City Manager's annual proposed budget based on an annual recommendation of the City Manager or his designee regarding range of asset life extended; identification of fully depreciated or deteriorated components of City assets; inventory requirements for large capital components of assets; or reduction in maintenance costs over the remaining life of the asset. 7.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANAL YSIS At the second Budget Hearing on September 28, 2004, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 2004-25697, establishing a Capital Renewal and Replacement fund for general fund assets and procedures for appropriation and use of funds. Through the Resolution, the Commission approved the appropriation of $80,000 for the replacement offloors at Fire Station No.'s 1 and 3. The balance of funds in the amount of $1,267,070 was placed in reserves and the Commission directed the Administration to provide the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee with additional criteria for project specific appropriations from the Capital Renewal and Replacement Fund. A proposed set of additional criteria was reviewed by the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee on December 14, 2004. At that meeting, the Committee instructed the administration to: o Summarize the criteria into three critical areas o Include a preamble/whereas clause pertaining to emergency use of funds o Provide a provision for emergency use of the funds February 23, 2005 Page 2 The attached resolution amending Resolution No. 2004-25697, establishing a Capital Renewal and Replacement fund, incorporates these items. On February 17, 2005, the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee approved the resolution. The criteria incorporated are: 1. The permanent Capital Renewal and Replacement Fund established to be used for capital projects that extend the useful life of the City's General Fund assets shall be limited to projects defined as follows: A. Projects that extend the useful life of a asset by at least 5 years with a threshold value of at least $25,000; for example the replacement of a major component of the asset such as roofs, HV AC systems, electrical systems, fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems that due to significant deterioration would constrain the remaining useful life of the asset OR B. Projects that significantly reduce future maintenance cost over the remaining life of the asset in an amount that is greater than the renewal and replacement costs of the project. 2. The Mayor and Commission may authorize additional uses of the funds for unforeseen or unanticipated events affecting life, health, property or public safety subject to a five- sevenths (5/7) vote. Concurrent with the establishment of a dedicated renewal and replacement reserve for general fund assets, the City is developing of a schedule of renewal, replacement, and routine maintenance requirements for the City's buildings, structures and facilities. Major tasks to develop this schedule include 1) inspecting the City's buildings, structures and facilities; 2) procuring Capital Planning and Management Solution software and inputting the inspection results; and 3) forecasting component requirements for the life of each asset. The City anticipates completing this process for 5 buildings this calendar year - City Hall, Old City Hall, Police, the 777 Building, and Carl Fisher Clubhouse/21st Street Auditorium). The process for the remaining facilities and structures is planned to be completed within the next 4 years. As the renewal and replacement requirements are identified for the major components, they will be incorporated into future year project lists for review by the Mayor and Commission during the budget process. Routine maintenance requirements identified will be addressed elsewhere. JMG\KGB 11
