Members of City Council
Subject: Capital Program - 1995 Five Year Plan
The City Charter requires a five year Capital Program be submitted annually for consideration by
City Council. The plan includes a general summary and listing of all improvements, accompanied
by corresponding project necessity statements and costs estimates. The attached document
represents the proposed program for five years beginning with 1995.
The Council has conducted a public hearing and needs to adopt the Capital Improvement Program
in order to make specific project allocations. Expenditure authorizations and funding mechanisms
will occur during the five-year period as contracts are awarded.
OVERVIEW OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING
Local government has the important responsibility of ensuring that buildings, streets, parks, and
drainage systems are maintained and improved for their community and future use. Sound
planning and fiscal commitment can ensure that major replacement costs are avoided and that the
infrastructure quality remains suitable to support business and private investment in the community.
A common mechanism used by local officials to manage this responsibility is the Capital
Improvement Program (CIP), a plan for short- and long-range physical development.
One benefit of the Capital Improvement Program is that it allows for project evaluation at a
comprehensive level. It also provides financial information necessary to carefully plan and
anticipate changes in tax structure, user fees and bonded indebtedness.
The CIP process allows annual program updates to incorporate changing community priorities and
financing strategies, which require careful consideration. An important determination is whether a.
particular project will enhance the viability of the economic base and provide quality-of-life
amenities for its citizens.

the issuance of the Series 1992 $13.3M Public Improvement Bonds. $17.OM in future general
obligation debt will be required during the next five years to complete the projects approved in this
CIP. The debt will be issued in increments as required to fund construction in process.

discussed as follows:
Public Works Projects
The 1995 Five Year Plan includes the addition of Concord Road as an authorized public works
improvement project. The currently approved public works improvement projects total $18.OM and
are either under contract with work in progress or the City is committed to provide matching funds
for State participation projects The addition of Concord Road will increase that total to $25.OM. A
discussion of each project is as follows:

specifically classified as a demonstration project. The entire project, estimated at $6.2M, provides
for the purchase of right-of-way (ROW) and utility relocation for the widening of Major Drive from

Hwy 105 to Hwy 124. TxDOT will fully fund and manage the construction phrase at an estimated
cost of $2.2M. The remaining $4.OM in estimated costs are for ROW acquisition and utility
relocation that must occur prior to the construction phrase and are the City/State participation
aspect of the project. The State will be responsible for 80% or $3.2M of this cost, leaving the City
responsible for 20%, or $800,000. This project is in the early stages with no costs currently
expended. Right-of-way acquisition is expected to begin in fiscal year 1995.
West Lucas - will provide for reconstruction of W. Lucas into a four lane arterial roadway from
Phelan to Folsom streets. This project was a participation project with TxDOT. However, due to
time constraints on TxDOT, the state funds will be transferred to the Liberty/Laurel Overpass

Liberty/Laurel - this project will allow for rehabilitation of Liberty and Laurel streets from Forrest to
11th street to include two lanes of traffic and the extension of both streets to Phelan Boulevard,
with an overpass at I11-10. The first phase of this project, Forrest to 11th, is 100% City funded and
must be completed before the Liberty/Laurel Overpass phase can be started, which is mandated by
contractual obligation with TxDOT. The overpass is a participation project with TxDOT and provides
for extension of Liberty and Laurel streets from 11th to Phelan Blvd., with grade separation at
IH-10. Total project costs for both phases is estimated at $16M with TxDOT funding $7M of that,

$815,000 toward the purchase of right-of-way to be continued into fiscal year 1995.
