Mayor William H. Seay, Jr. Town Council Members Highland Park, Texas Mayor and Town Council: We
are pleased
to submit the Town's 2009-2010 Capital Improvement Plan ("CIP") as presented
herein.
Introduction This document cont¿ins the Town's plan for meeting its capiøl needs for the next five years and
establishes the foundation for meeting capital needs long into the future.
The development of this Capital Improvement Plan ("CIP") began in April, 2009. The initial step was to identifu projects for consideration and collect supporting information on estimated cost and scope for each. This step was completed in May, 2009. Because of the necessity of focusing staffs energies on managing the 2008-2009 Operating Budget during a period of decreased revenues over the last half of the 2009 fïscal year, no additional work on the development of the CIP was undert¿ken until October, 2009, when the compiled information was submitted to the Council for an initial review. Since that initial presentation, the Town Council and st¿ff have moved forward in quantiffing each project based on a common set of criteria that resulted in a ranking of the projects. The criteria used to evaluate each project are included on page 8. the task of responding to short and long-term capital needs. Capital planning is not a new concept for the Town. A five-year historical review of the Town's capiøl spending reflects a spending plan that is very similar in appearance to the proposed CIP spending plan.
A Capital Improvement Plan
is just that
- a plan. It is a blueprint towa¡ds accomplishing

In the early 1980's, the Town decided to fund its capital needs through a methodical,
approach, using current revenues and realized surpluses.
A "pay-as-you-go", or PAYGO, concept was implemented. The primary difference between the Town's historical capital spending plan and the proposed CIP is the formality of the process. Overall, the Town has completed some $25 million in capital projects (funded through the Capital Projects Fund only) over the last 15 years without incurring the first cent in debt.
In addition to the projects included in the previous chart, the Town has maintained two annual ongoing capital programs. These are the water and sanitary sewer replacemenlrehabilitation program and the street resurfacing and miscellaneous concrete program. These programs will continue as they have existed inclusive of their designated funding sources. The proposed CIP incorporates these existing programs into a full-scope capital plan. CIP Process The CIP shall be reviewed, updated and adopted on an annual basis in coordination with the annual operating budget. Along with their annual operating budget requests, Town departments will submit projects for consideration and inclusion in the CIP. These projects will then be reviewed by the staff collectively and quantified according to the established criteria and incorporated into the annual CIP for Council review and approval. The CIP funding plan for each subsequent fiscal year will be built within
the available resources.
All capital projects approved in conjunction with the approved CIP will be funded through the Capital
Projects Fund with such expenditures designated in a capital budget outlining the project number and project name. The first year of the CIP describes the capital budget proposed for the current hscal year.
The remaining four years represent a forecast of future capiøl needs that may be funded given sufficient resources.
Resources
The development of a formal CIP required that parameters, or practices, be established in order to retain the viability of the Plan. One such requirement is a minimum fund balance in the Capital Projects Fund of $2,000,000. Another parameter, as recommended by staff, is the aggregation of the various available resources into the existing Capital Projects Fund. This is accomplished by the movement of fund surpluses in the General Fund and Utility Fund into the Capital Projects Fund. A transfer of $3,000,000 from the Utility Fund to the Capital Projects Funds has already been approved by ordinance and the transfer of $1,200,000 in General Fund surplus is included for consideration along with the adoption of the CIP. A third, as mentioned previously, is the inclusion of the two existing capital programs and funding sources into the CIP. The Town will continue to explore the potential of public and private funding for projects. Dallas County has shown a willingness to assist in providing some funding toward street right-of-way improvements. There may also be other sources of funding through grants and private donations, particularly as we approach the Town's centennial celebration.
The following schedule reflects the funding sources for implementing the proposed five-year CIP:

The completion of the assessment process resulted in the prioritization of projects for funding consideration. The Town Council and staff held a work session in March, 2010, to review and discuss
the proposed CIP developed from this assessment process.
The following schedule reflects the spending plan that makes up the proposed CIP. The schedule presents both all identified and prioritized,capital projects that are apart of the CIP process regardless of funding status. The project costs shown are based on current estimates that will require updating in future year CIP presentations. The schedule also includes the two on-going capital

information on projects that are unfunded and subject to future consideration. Detail for the two annual programs is included on pages l0 & I l.
CIP Summary The staff believes that the proposed CIP is a fiscally sound plan that will set the tone of future capital project management. It is understood that this is a dynamic plan and process and, like the annual operating budget, will be continually managed. The proposed 2010 CIP, in summary, is as follows:

The Town has maintained a pay-as-you-go program for the replacement/rehabilitation of its aging water and sanitary sewer systems since the I 980's. The Town funds this program through current revenues for the sale of water and sanitary sewer services. The Utility Fund generates the resources which are tr¿nsferred to the Capital Projects Fund - Utility Infrastructure ("CPF-Utilities").
