FY 2022 to FY 2026 Capital Plan:
Project
Request Project Project
Scoping Prioritization
Phase 1: Project Request:Annually each department will be part of the initial vetting of capital projects
and maintenance requests.
Projects at this phase are conceptual and require a minimal amount of information. Additional
information can be added to the project list as projects move through the process, but it is important to
note a project request must at a minimum include: a project scope, timing, and estimated cost of
development. Each department will be responsible for developing projects in consultation with their
recommending or governing committees, commissions, or board. These projects can be developed
year-round but are vetted in the annual capital planning process beginning in October of each year. The
City Council will receive a list of requests (capital and maintenance) by department for review. The
Council may choose to have a workshop in order to review the projects request list and provide
direction as to which projects move forward into project scoping.
Phase 2: Project Scoping: At the project scoping phase, departments will need to address/provide
additional project specific information including: project need, economic benefit, annual operation and
maintenance costs, replacement/depreciation cycle, potential for outside funding and any phasing or
sequencing that is required or could be considered. Projects should have a 5 to 7-year timeline for
construction or replacement, though projects with longer construction timelines, significant
development cost or existing infrastructure with planned replacement beyond the 5 to 7-year cycle may
be considered and/or calculated into the annual capital maintenance set-aside. In Early December,
projects that have this information will be taken to the public for review and comment. The public
comments will be included in the Council's review of the project development information.The Council
may choose to have a workshop in order to review the projects request list and provide direction as to
which projects move forward into project prioritization. The Council has prioritized Capital
Maintenance (the general upkeep and maintenance of existing city facilities) over capital projects(new
projects, facilities,or purchases).
Phase 3: Project Prioritization: Project prioritization is a fiscally constrained process. For purposes of
capital planning, the City will use the following annual funding guidelines for City funds (this does not
include dollars carried forward from a previous fiscal year,grants, or funds that pass through the City
budget from an outside source):
$1.26M for Capital Maintenance Set-Aside
$2.0M for Capital Projects(including restricted funds i.e. impact fees)
These thresholds may vary year to year based on economic climate and City Council directives.
The Council, in a workshop format,will review the public comments and recommendations to establish
a preliminary list of prioritized projects by fiscal year. Projects could include engineering and design
work, the development of construction plans, savings for future investments,and/or construction of a
physical project. The order and prioritization may be influenced by the ability to fund with local dollars,
the opportunity to leverage outside funds, emergencies, or other factors that the Council sees as
pertinent in a specific fiscal year. The Capital Project Program should mirror the next fiscal year's
appropriation but does not guarantee funding in a future year.
When constructing projects that will receive reimbursement post construction,the Council can direct
where reimbursements are to be placed within the City's budget and if they are to be earmarked for
another project. The Council, through the Capital Plan, may establish triggers for the commencement of
a project. These triggers/conditions may be fiscal or based on the completion of other
work/agreements.
The City Council will annually determine the appropriation of funds for both capital projects and capital
maintenance set-aside as part of the municipal budgeting process. The Capital plan is a guide, similar to
the comprehensive plan,the goal is to educate and engage our citizens on the fiscal constraints that the
City faces while also creating a process for project request and active engagement in the prioritization of
projects.
Annually, the Council will conduct a public hearing to adopt the capital plan and to allow the public to
comment on the final project list before adoption. Adoption of the Capital Plan should be timed to
coordinate with the annual budget appropriation each fall.
Draft OP Goals
July 15, 2021
Goal 1: Provide to the public a clear, realistic, and fiscally constrained 5-
year capital improvement plan.
• Prioritize maintenance and operation of existing infrastructure ahead of system expansion.
• Establish annual fiscal goals for saving/set asides to fund depreciation, replacement, and
planned construction.
• Ensure that projects are properly developed through the scoping process- project development,
planning, savings,then construction/purchase.
Goal 2: Establish a process for the development of public facility plans
that address existing services, deficiencies, and future needs.
• Ensure each City service has completed and maintains a facility inventory, 5+year master
facilities plan, and has an adopted level of service.
• Ensure all facilities comply with state and federal service regulations
• Establish implementable and enforceable level of service standards Ensure development does
not degrade the City's adopted level of service without proper mitigation.
Goal 3: Enhance the quality of life in the City of Eagle through the
planned provision of capital facilities and public services that are
provided either directly by the City or through coordination with other
public and private entities.
• Work with the community to determine community needs and desires for services.
• Prioritize maintenance of existing community investment ahead of expansion.
Goal 4: Provide needed capital facilities in an economic, efficient, and
equitable manner.
• Use the capital planning process to identify city needs (project and maintenance),funding
opportunities, and partnership opportunities that serve all the citizens of Eagle.
• Projects should be prioritized based on needs ahead of desires.
• Use the City's fiscal impact tool to help guide changes in land use to ensure both short term and
long tern fiscal sustainability(ability to fund infrastructure without the use of one-time fees).
Draft CIP Goals
July 15, 2021
Goal 5: Ensure that adequate public facilities and services for new
development is available or conditioned to be provided at the time of
final land use approval (Final Plat/Building Permit) to ensure that new
development will not lower the existing service levels within the City.
• Condition development to pay their proportionate share of capital cost and the cost for system
expansion Maintain, update, implement the City's development impact tool to evaluate the cost
and benefits of development on the City's capital plan and operations
• Educate the public and elected official about the fiscal impact of different types of land uses.
• Work to ensure that development does not degrade the adopted level of service for City
provided services-consider mitigation agreements, dedications, and other mechanisms to
ensure the equitable and consistent level of service.
Goal 6: Coordinate transportation improvement plans, programs, and
partnerships with ACHD & ITD to ensure the City's vision for future and
growth-related road projects are achievable.
• Identify and plan for opportunities for cooperation.
• Identify projects that will require a Cost-share agreement and plan appropriately for these
contributions.
