Needed capital improvements are identified through system models, repair and maintenance records, and growth. The City uses a team approach to prioritizing capital improvement projects, whereby City staff from all operational areas provide input and ideas relating to each project and its effect on operations, such as: Fire and Police Services staff provides insight into a project’s impact on emergency traffic responses, public lighting issues and other public safety concerns. Planning & Development staff gives direction regarding new development and the infrastructure needs relating to this growth. Other utility departments, such as the Transportation Department, Electric Department and Water Services Department exchange information regarding each project and coordinated timing of many of the related projects in an effort to create less inconvenience for the citizens affected. The timeline for the CIP planning process is outlined below: By using this team approach, the City develops cooperation among the departments, identifies potential problem areas, and prioritizes financing issues. The Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) generally consists of infrastructure and related construction and do not include small capital items such as furniture, equipment and vehicles. Significant maintenance projects, such as street repairs are not included in the capital project schedules. These maintenance type projects are not capitalized as a fixed asset and are always cash funded; therefore, they are considered operational in nature and are included in the departmental operating budget. The CIP schedules consolidate the capital spending priorities for all operating activities of the City, including all governmental and enterprise activities that provide services to the citizens of Georgetown. The CIP Schedules are included as part of the annual operating budget. The first year of the list becomes the capital budget for the approved budget year. The following pages outline the CIP Schedule for each activity and include anticipated projects, current year project location and sources of funding.

Some of the additional responsibilities of the Street Department include traffic control, emergency response operations, special events, and assistance in code enforcement. Daily responsibilities include inspection of roadways for sign repair, pavement management and removal of sight obstructions. Transportation Services has experienced a growth in demand for maintenance and rehabilitation of the City’s roadway system. The Street Department Capital Improvement Budget includes maintenance and rehabilitation of the City’s roadway system and support of new transportation construction projects. Funding for maintenance and rehabilitation from the City’s General Fund is approximately $875,000 annually. Street Maintenance Sales Tax In November 2002, voters passed a quarter- cent sales tax increase that became effective April 1, 2003. Proceeds from the new tax can only be used to make improvements to streets in existence at the time of the election and cannot be used for construction of new streets. Revenues from this tax equal approximately $2 million per year for maintenance and rehabilitation of City streets. The tax was reauthorized by voters in November 2010; the tax will be brought back to the voters for reauthorization in November 2014. This presentation assumes the quarter-cent sales tax will pass in November. Adjustments to this budget and projects will be made accordingly, if the tax is not reauthorized. Georgetown Transportation Enhancement Corporation In May 2001, voters approved a 4B half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements that provide economic benefit to the community. The 4B is known as the Georgetown Transportation Enhancement Corporation (GTEC). GTEC approves projects funded through this sales tax. Overall Transportation Improvement Plan The City adopted its Transportation Plan (OTP) to guide the City’s growth and development, a revision to the OTP is currently underway. It is through this plan that 2 DR A F T future road construction is projected. As part of this process, GTAB recommends potential projects to GTEC and the GTEC board approves its annual Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) which includes projects identified in the City’s overall Transportation Plan that meet the GTEC eligibility requirements. The TIP is a five-year projection and is updated annually with year one being the annual GTEC budget this is approved by the City Council. The GTEC budget is not included in this CIP document. The OTP is reviewed by GTAB which makes recommendations to the City Council. In November 2008, voters authorized $46 million of General Obligation debt to be issued for road improvements. This CIP budget does not currently include improvements authorized in the bond. Historic Downtown In the past few years, several rehabilitation and maintenance projects have focused on the Historic Downtown Square Area. The City will continue efforts to maintain and rehabilitate Historic Georgetown, as well as keep pace with the growth of our community. GASB 34 – Modified Approach The Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 34 allows for an alternative to depreciation expense for certain infrastructure, termed the modified approach. The following conditions must be met:  The government manages the eligible assets using an asset management system to: o Keep an up-to-date asset inventory, o Perform condition assessments and report the results on a measurement scale, and o Estimate the annual amount to maintain and preserve the eligible infrastructure assets at the condition level established and disclosed by the government  The government must document that the eligible assets are being preserved approximately at or above the condition level established and disclosed by the government. The City completed its inventory and implemented its pavement management information system in February 2005. The initial assessment rated Georgetown’s street condition as “good” with a 90 pavement condition index. The Council has directed staff to incorporate a policy to maintain a minimum average PCI of 85. Current funding should adequately fund that level of PCI within Georgetown for near future. The PCI for fiscal year 2011 was 87.7. Growth factors, including the construction of major roads, such as Inner Loop, could impact that condition over time. This system will be monitored closely and reviewed in detail again in late 2014. The proposed CIP includes funding for an update of the Pavement Management System in 2015. 3 DR A F T 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 Total (Thousands of dollars) Projected Annual Project Cost $3,570$3,625$3,775$3,900$4,050$18,920 Sources of Funding Street Maintenance Sales Tax $2,625$2,750$2,900$3,025$3,175$14,475 General Fund & Other $945$875$875$875$875$4,445 City of Georgetown, Texas Transportation Capital Improvement Program 2014/15 to 2018/19 ThecapitalbudgetincludesmajorrehabilitationoftheCity'sroadwaysystems.InNovember2002,votersfirstapprovedaquartercent salestaxformaintenanceofexistingCitystreets.Thissalestaxrevenueprovidesthemajorityoffundingforstreetrehabiliation projects.Thequartercentsalestaxmustbereauthorizedbythevoterseveryfouryears,itwillneedtobereauthorizedinNovember 2014.

Arterials are usually built to a higher standard to accommodate a high volume of residential and truck traffic. The heavy vehicles and high volumes on these roads can cause and exponential rate of deterioration when pavement scores begin to fall below acceptable levels. A higher priority is placed on this classification when evaluating scores for the funds to be spent here for treatment and maintenance.

Some of the additional responsibilities of the Stormwater Drainage Utility are assisting other Divisions in City code enforcement. Daily responsibilities include drainage and flood control when needed, right-of-way mowing and cleaning, street sign maintenance and street cleaning operations. The Stormwater Drainage Utility has been focusing on meeting the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Phase II regulations and requirements regarding stormwater control in municipalities. In 2015, the City expects to continue efforts to meet the forthcoming stormwater control mandates. The 2014/15 Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes projects aimed at improving stormwater drainage, erosion control and the compilation of stormwater assets. The Smith Branch buy-outs are a three year program to buy-out 16 homes in San Jose and Quail Valley neighborhoods. 12 DR A F T 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 Total (Thousands of dollars) Projected Annual Project Cost $3,015$400$400$2,550$400$6,765 Debt Issuance Cost $90$0$0$90$0$180 Sources of Funding Operating Revenue $800$400$400$640$400$2,640 Utility Revenue Debt $2,305$0$0$2,000$0$4,305 City of Georgetown, Texas Stormwater Capital Improvement Program 2014/15 to 2018/19 TheCitywillbedeterminingasourceofrevenuetofundtheEPAPhaseIIregulations,theRegionalStormwaterPlan,and otherrequirementsregardingstormwatercontrolwithinmunicipalities.Themostlikelyrevenuesourceisthrougha combination of stormwater fees and developer fees paid in-lieu of onsite detention.
