FROM:CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATIVE
SERVICES
DATE:JANUARY 19, 1999 CMR:431:99
SUBJECT:1998-99 YEAR-END CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
PROJECTS STATUS REPORT
This is an informational report and no Council action is required.
BACKGROUND
This report provides the Finance Committee with information on the status of the City’s
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects as of the end of the fiscal year 1998-99. In the
attached matrix (Attachment A), all City departments have submitted information on their
projects and commented on any issues which might cause a change in the scope or timing of
the projects. Information in this report is intended to keep Council abreast of progress on all
CIP projects that were open at the beginning of the 1998-99 fiscal year and on those projects
that were added or completed during the same fiscal year.
DISCUSSION
The attached matrix categorizes CIP projects into minor projects (projects which can be
completed within a one-year period) and multi-year projects (projects which have multi-year
budgets and/or complex implementation schedules with identifiable phases). The project
¯ status portion of the matrix identifies the phase the project was in at fiscal year-end.
Information on phases is intended to give Council a perspective on how much progress was
made on a project. Three distinct phases are utilized, as follows:

o Development of a master plan
o Definition of a project scope
o Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report
o Hiring a design consultant
o Completion of project design
o Soliciting bids or proposals
o Acquisition of major equipment
o Installation
o Implementation of a project
The comment section of the matrix provides COuncil with information clarifying the status
of certain projects.
In the attached matrix, projects are listed by department for the General Fund and by fund
for the Enterprise &nd Internal Service Funds. Within each department or fund, the projects
are ordered by project number, which includes the year of Council approval (year of approval
is shown by the second two digits of the 5-digit project number or the first two digits of a 4-
digit project number). The matrix also includes information on the tofal or accumulated
budget for projects, the remaining budget as of the beginning of the fiscal year, the fiscal year
expenditures through June 30, 1999, including commitments (encumbrances).
The matrix does not include "continuous" projects. These projects, such as water meter
replacement, have no definitive beginning or end dates and receive ongoing funding to reflect
continuing replacement cycles or commitments. During fiscal year 1998-99, progress was
made on all of the City’s "continuous". projects (Attachment B).
At year-end, all completed CIP’s (after settlement of encumbrances) and CIP’s where no
activity is planned in the near future were closed and the remaining balances transferred to
the Budget Stabilization Reserve for General Fund projects; to Retained Earnings for Internal
Service Funds; and for Utility Fund projects, to the appropriate Rate Stabilization Reserves.
