City Council:
The proposed Capital Program for Fiscal Years 2020-2024 is hereby submitted. The Capital
Program is a plan prepared annually to provide for physical development within the- City of
Beaumont. The City Charter requires the submission of the Capital Program to Council
three (3) months prior to the final date for submission of the budget, which is August 15th
of each year. The Program is adopted with the annual operating budget.
Generally, a capital improvement has the following characteristics: relatively high monetary
value (at least $100,000), long life (will last at least 10 years), and results in either the
creation of a capital asset, or the revitalization of one. Capital assets are resources owned
by the City which have monetary value, long-term character and will be held or used.
3 Examples are land, buildings, and improvements to land other than buildings. Included
within the above definition are the following specific items: purchase, improvement and
development of land; construction of new facilities for the delivery of City services;
remodeling of existing facilities; and the planning/engineering costs related to specific
improvements of the type listed above.
The Capital Program includes a listing of all Public Works, General Improvements and
Water and Sewer improvement projects along with project descriptions and cost estimates.
Public Works includes street and storm water drainage projects; General Improvements
include general municipal buildings and facility improvements. Water and Sewer includes
all projects related to water and sewer infrastructure.
Projects are classified in two phases: design or construction, or projects for
consideration. A project classified in the design or construction phase is currently under
design or construction or is projected to be within the recommended time schedule.
Projects classified as for consideration includes projects that will be considered in the
future as funding becomes available. Some projects in this category have been designed
or have some costs incurred such as the acquisition of rights -of -way or real property.
EXHIBIT"A"
All available, funding sources are considered including Certificates of Obligation, grant
funding from various agencies, Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, other financing methods
and available cash.
The City normally issues Certificates of Obligation (CO's) on an as needed basis, to provide
sufficient cash flow for active Public Works and General Improvement projects.
The City routinely issues Water Revenue Bonds for Water and Sewer projects on an as
needed basis. This type of bond is serviced utilizing revenues from water and sewer
customers.
Through projects in the Capital Program, the City of Beaumont strives to enhance the quality
of life for its residents. This plan represents our best effort to identify projects that provide
the greatest benefit to the citizens of Beaumont.
Respectfully Submitted,
Kyle Hayes
City Manager
