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.

A Capital Improvement Plan is just that - a plan. It is a blueprint towa¡ds accomplishing

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.

In the early 1980's, the Town decided to fund its capital needs through a methodical, consistent
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:

Expenditures
Capital projects are defined as major, non-recurring expenditures exceeding $50,000 that improve the
Town's physical assets. Capital projects are further delineated in the following categories:
o Facilities
o Parks
o Public Safety
o Public Works
o Storm & Surface Water
o Streets
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

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:

$ 6.936.676 $ 5,976,676

$ 10.826.974 $ 4,055,720 $ 4,116,790 $ 3,576,790

$ 9,994,556 $ s,976,676 $ s,472,676

Conclusion
We wish to thank the Mayor, each Council Member and each Town Department Head for their
invaluable assistance in the development of this formal CIP and resulting capital plan for 2009-2010.

An annual program of resurfacing asphalt road surfaces throughout the Town based upon surface and road bæe conditions and the
replacement of adjoining concrete surfaces (sid ewalk, curb & gutter, inverts and approaches). Although all fund ing for this program is
managed through the Capital Projects Fund's ROW ("CPF-ROW') subfund, the source of funding for the annual street resurfacing prognm
is from a transfer from the Utility Fund based upon a 5% street rental fee charged on goss r€venues forwateç sanitary sewer and solid
waste coleection and disposal services, The miscellaneous concrete element is funded from an annual transfer from the General Fund from
curent revenues. Program expenditures and resources are projected to be used in conjunction with the Beverly Drive Rehabilitation Project
in FY 201 l.
