9.A. - Page 3 <br /> total $3,250,000. FY 2012-13 funding includes $250,000 in interest payment savings <br /> due to SBSA's successful utilization of the State Revolving Fund to finance their capital <br /> improvements which saved on interest payments. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> Staff evaluated and analyzed the proposed CIP budget from the perspective of project <br /> delivery, including timing of project phases. Where appropriate, amounts for the project <br /> planning or design phases are shown in different fiscal years within the Five Year Plan. <br /> Additionally, programs are evaluated from the perspective of adjoining or related <br /> projects, as appropriate. For example, ongoing infrastructure maintenance may be <br /> timed to coincide with new development, to minimize disruption. As a result, these <br /> ongoing program expenditures may be less linear than in prior years. Also, more <br /> emphasis is placed on funding projects that are ready for construction. This helps <br /> ensure that funds are utilized in a timely manner while also reducing the need to <br /> accumulate funds and carry balances forward from year to year. <br /> In FY 2013-14 through FY 2016-17, projects are included for which funding is <br /> anticipated but not yet confirmed. Anticipated funding includes potential cost sharing, <br /> bond financing, and fees provided by private developers. This anticipated funding is <br /> included in the projected revenue subtotal, and is then subtracted from the net fund <br /> balance. In the absence of these outside funding sources, those projects would either <br /> be moved to subsequent years, or redefined to fit within available funds, or cancelled. <br /> Council has directed staff to explore opportunities for increased operational efficiency <br /> citywide, including automation and space reconfiguration. CIP funds are being <br /> programmed for these technological needs and facility improvements. <br /> Technoloqy and Software Automation: <br /> Staff recently completed CIP projects to provide web-based registration and <br /> reservations, and to automate staff report routing and meeting agenda <br /> preparation. <br /> Currently, annual CIP allocations include $125,000 (up from $25,000 last year) to <br /> support communication and technology programs, $100,000 to support the <br /> Geographic Information System, and $110,000 to replace the City's computer <br /> servers. Existing CIP fund balances include $1,680,000 to support the ongoing <br /> upgrade and automation of the City's financial system including applications used <br /> for human resources management, utility billing, payroll, budget and other <br /> functions. Pending further analysis, other technological improvements may be <br /> funded from this account including centralized document control/storage, <br /> conversion of staff and public computers to virtual terminals, mobile application <br /> for repair request, and a fleet vehicle fuel management system. <br /> Facility Improvements and Tenant Improvements: <br /> Currently, the annual CIP allocations provide $25,000 to support minor office <br /> renovation activity, $25,000 for miscellaneous facility upgrades, $175,000 for the <br /> re-painting of Red Morton Community Center and other miscellaneous interior <br /> painting, $75,000 for the re-carpeting of City Hall office areas and the Main <br />
