Minutes 09-11-00(2)MINUTES OF SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WORKSHOP MEETING FISCAL YEAR 2001 - 2005 HELD IN THE LIBRARY PROGRAM ROOM, BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11,2000 AT 5:30 P.M. PRESENT: ALSO PRESENT: Gerald Broening, Mayor Ron Weiland, Vice Mayor Bruce Black, Commissioner Charlie Fisher, Commissioner ABSENT: William Sherman, Mayor Pro Tem Kurt Bressner, City Manager Dale Sugerman, Assistant City Manager Sue Kruse, City Clerk Diane Reese, Finance Manager Bill Bingham, Fire Chief Marshall Gage, Police Chief John Wildner, Parks Director Wally Majors, Acting Recreation Director Mr. Kurt Bressner, City Manager, moderated the workshop and opened the meeting at 5:30 P.M. Mr. Bressner stated that the meeting was celled for the Commissioners to go over the list of capital projects discussed in summary form at the previous week's meeting. He recapped the previous meeting by saying the Commission had decided conceptually to proceed with a Florida League of Cities program for a $10 Million issue with a 20-year payback period and an early pay-off provision. In addition, the Commission will proceed with the development of an MSTU funding program, recognizing that the actual revenues would not be available from this source until Fiscal 2001-02 due to Ordinance requirements and research necessary. Future revenue sources such as a referendum General Obligation Bond will be held until the City Commission reviews the progress on the first group of projects. Mr. Bressner gave the Commissioners new spreadsheets, which included some new revenue streams that were discussed and identified. The bad news was that many of the revenue streams were not available in the first year but later on, sometimes as late as year 4 or 5 of the capital improvement cycle. He stated that for purposes of discussion, he had left the debt service for the bond issue alone at $1.3 Million only because if the Commission wanted to reserve its option to prepay that loan, the money had to be collected anyway and put aside. The primary purpose of the meeting was for the Commissioners to register their choices for the capital improvement projects, classifying their priority as "A" or "B". Mr. Bressner asked the Commissioners to evaluate the projects considering the overall importance of the project to each Commissioner and to the community in terms of the availability of the revenues available to pay for that project in the next year, the readiness of the project, and also whether or not that project was currently underway. He asked the Commission to look at three projects which had dollars allocated from the Visions 20-20 revenue Meeting Minutes Capital Improvement Program Workshop Boynton Beach, Florida September 11, 2000 stream. These funds are reserved but optional so if the Commission wanted to release those funds for some other purpose, they could do so. The last element of the review would be that, recognizing a lot of the projects were big ticket items, and while they may have money to get started, funds could be allocated for planning to determine site plans, location, space needs analysis and so forth. The Commissioners chose to review the projects as a group and give their priority ratings out loud, with opportunity for brief discussion. Mr. Sugerman was recruited to record the results of the priority rankings given by the Commissioners. The Commissioners voiced their choices (A or B) on each item. In some cases, after further discussion, the Commissioner's original choices were changed. Mr. Bressner thanked the Commissioners for their hard work in reviewing and setting priorities. A list of the final tabulations is attached to the original minutes in the City Clerk's office. After the Commissioners had given their ranking choices, 35 non-utility and 9 utility projects were selected to be done in Fiscal Year 2000-01. Of these, a number of the larger projects such as Fire Stations, Parks, Public Safety and Library facilities had planning funds allocated to refine the need, location, revenues and costs for these facilities. A contingency reserve was set aside for new projects or to help re-allocate funds, as needed. The meeting ended at 6:30 p.m. ATTEST: Recording Secretary (one tape) CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH Vice Mayor Commissioner Commissioner 2 Bressner, Kurt ~ubject: Hawkins, Wilfred; Sugerman, Dale; Greene, Quintus; Gage, Marshall; Bingham, William; Bingham, William; Cherof, James; Lee, Arthur; Segal, Wayne; Farace, Virginia; Guidry, John; Kruse, Sue; Magazine, Chuck; Reese, Diane; Majors, Wally; Roberts, Christine; Sciortino, Joe; Wallace, Peter; Wildner, John; DeCarlo, Dan Costello, Joyce; Moats, Valorie; Weise, Carisse; Byrne, Nancy Final Draft CIP Plan Allocation for FY 2000-01 On Monday night the City Commission concluded their review of the CIP program budget document that was prepared by City staff in cooperation with residents who attended a series of community meetings this past summer. The list of projects and the timing of same were reviewed by the Commission. In addition to those projects included in the original CIP booklet, I added a number of other initiatives and efforts that were part of the City agenda. These included projects underway and those for which allocations had been previously approved via Visions 20/20. The next step was to apply revenues to the formula and try to smooth out the delivery of the projects as much as possible. Last Thursday, the City Commission reviewed the overall list and the revenue stream. Several important decisions emerged through hard work by the Commission: 1. That the City would proceed to borrow up to $10 million for the construction of capital projects via either the State League program or a private placed bank loan. The payback period selected was for 20 years with an option to pre-pay the loan earlier. 2. The City would develop a program to establish and implement an MSTU for fire and park facilities. Given the complexity of establishing the MSTU's the planning work for the establishment would take place in the next fiscal year with actual collection in 2001-02. 3. The City would not, proceed with referendum General Obligation Bonds until a track record of completion of the first roup of projects had been established. his week the City Commission met again to go over the final list of projects. The following decisions were reached: 35 non-utility and 9 utility projects were selected to proceed for FY 2000-01. Of these, a number of the larger projects ch as Fire Stations, Parks, Public Safety and Library facilities had planning funds allocated to refine the need, location, [~venues and costs for these facilities. 2. Several recurring projects were included in the list including a street maintenance ($250,000) and a sidewalk replacement/construction fund $70,000.) 3. A contingency reserve was set aside for new projects or to help re-allocate funds, as needed. I have attached a spreadsheet that details the projects that were selected and the revenue streams. I appreciate the work that the City Staff completed to make this CIP plan a reality and I know that you appreciate the hard work of the City Commission to review and set priorities.
