The City of Georgetown annually updates and adopts a five year Capital Improvements Project (CIP)
Schedule as part of the operating budget adoption process. The Capital Improvements Projects generally
consist of infrastructure and related construction and do not include small capital items such as furniture,
equipment and vehicles. The schedules consolidate the capital spending priorities for all operating
activities of the City. This includes general government activities, such as street and bridge construction,
park development, police, fire and recreation facilities; and enterprise activities, such as electric
transmission and distribution facilities, water treatment plants, towers, distribution and transmission
facilities, wastewater interception, collection systems, and treatment facilities, stormwater drainage
improvements and other requirements to provide services to the citizens.
The CIP Schedules are included as one 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
with anticipated projects and funding sources for the next five years.
CIP Funding:
Street improvements will be funded with Sun City SIP fee revenue, dedicated property taxes, and general
obligation debt, part of which was originally approved in the 1995/96 Annual Operating Plan. This general
obligation debt issue of approximately $4,800,000 will fund not only $2.9 million of street improvements,
but also fund General Capital projects such as the construction of the Sun City fire station and the purchase
of land for a new public safety facility.
The utility funds of the City will require approximately $4,000,000 in additional revenue bonds for the
development of the Customer Choice & Control (CCC) system (cost shared by Electric, Water and
Wastewater funds). Electric and Wastewater improvements relating to Sun City will be completed in
1996/97 with the remaining proceeds of the 1995 Series Revenue Bonds issued in May 1995 and the
1995A Series Revenue Bonds issued in August 1995. During 1996/97 the City will complete Stormwater
Drainage Improvements funded in August 1995 through General Certificates of Obligation. The City re-
enacted Water and Wastewater impact fees in January 1996 to pay for utility system expansion which will
reduce future debt issuances, but will not provide significant funds for the. next two budget years.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
ANNUAL OPERATING PLAN ELEMENT 1996/97 315
Project funding for 1996/97 CIP is as follows:
(1) Operating revenues and debt proceeds carried forward from prior years.
(2) Includes Capital Recovery Fees (SIP fees.)
(3) New debt only.
Effect on Operations:
Since capital projects result in assets which need continuing maintenance and care, operating budgets are
often affected. For most projects it is not easy to determine the ongoing operating costs. Most capital
projects have only incremental effects on annual operating budgets. The financial impact of any capital
improvement is included and noted in the affected department pages.

Budgeted improvements include major repair, improvements and renovation to parts of the existing system,
primarily within the northwest quadrant of the city, as well as to downtown areas. Two additional Street
Maintenance workers (total annual cost of $52,800) have been added in the Street Department to provide
rapid response to problems such as potholes and graffiti. This will allow existing Streets Department staff
to concentrate on larger maintenance and construction projects.

Budgeted improvements consist of maintenance of the existing electrical system along with various new
construction projects primarily related to the Sun City Georgetown service area. The rapid growth of the
electrical system requires the addition of three electric crewmen at a cost of $93,000 in 1996/97 in the
Electric Department.
The Glasscock Substation scheduled for 1997/98 will be operated by the Lower Colorado River Authority,
the City's wholesale provider, and will not have an impact on operating costs.
Customer Choice & Control (CCC). Substantial installation of the automated meter reading and electric
system analysis portions of this program will be complete during 1996/97. The savings realized from more
efficient load management in water and electric, staff reductions (2 of 4 meter readers will be transferred
to other departments in 1997/98), and more timely billing information, will offset debt service and system
maintenance costs. The system will "have paid for itself' by year seven or eight of the project.

Financial Impact:
Budgeted projects include maintenance and replacement of parts of the existing system as well as
additional service areas. These extensions of the wastewater system will not create the need for increased
personnel or significant new operating costs in 1996/97. Operating costs will increase due to the Pecan
Branch wastewater treatment plant that will be built in 1997/98. Additional staff will be needed to service
the system in 1997/98 or 1998/99.

Financial Impact:
Budgeted improvements are primarily maintenance and replacement of parts of the existing system.
Extensions of the water system will not create the need for increased personnel or significant new operating
costs. Improvements at the Lake Water Plant will postpone a large-scale, debt financed plant expansion
until 2000/01, thereby stabilizing water utility rates for the foreseeable future.
Customer Choice & Control (CCC). Substantial installation of the automated meter reading and electric
system analysis portions of this program will be complete during 1996/97. The savings realized from more
efficient load management in water and electric, staff reductions (2 of 4 meter readers will be transferred

maintenance costs. The system will "have paid for itself" by year seven or eight of the project.
