document used by the City to identify capital improvement
projects and coordinate the financing and timing of the
projects.
• CIP funding is annually appropriated, coinciding with the City
Budget process
• A capital project is defined as new, replacement of, or
improvements to infrastructure (buildings, roads, parks, water
and sewer lines, etc) or vehicles which have a minimum life
expectancy of five years and a minimum cost of $25,000

ANNUAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020
Adopted: XX XX, 2018

 City Council and Boulder City Residents,

I am pleased to present the Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Years 2020 – 2024.

The CIP is the culmination of an annual process of capital needs assessment and prioritization
completed as part of Boulder City’s Asset Management Program. This five-year CIP identifies
a $203 million plan for investment in the community’s infrastructure needs, including our city
streets, parks, golf courses, and utilities, and represents Boulder City’s commitment to providing
high quality and reliable service into the future. The funding level of $33.9 million for FY2020 is
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

$20 million more than the amount included in last year’s financial plan. This is due to changes
in how our plan is prepared and what improvements to include. In prior years’ plans, street proj-
ects and airport projects were not included. Those two categories are responsible for the large
increase in year over year spending.
The historical funding for Fiscal Years
(FY) 2018 through 2019 and forecasted
funding for FY 2020 through 2024 are
presented in the chart to the right. As
in prior CIP’s, the vast majority of the
FY2020-2024 CIP is dedicated to the
rehabilitation of existing infrastructure
or system enhancements. The CIP in-
cludes nearly $14 million for the recon-
struction of Boulder City Parkway, $26
million for significant airport improve-
ments (including an air traffic control
tower), over $2M to make customer
service and employee safety improvements at City Hall and our City Shops. Other significant
projects include repairs to our two public golf courses, improvements to our parks and recreation
facilities, and replacing vehicles in our aging fleet.

The City’s utility infrastructure will have almost $78 million invested in improvements to our
electric, water, wastewater and landfill operations. These improvements include replacing the
transmission poles from our primary tap into the national grid, completion of the conversion from
a 4kV system to a 12kV system, and upgrades to the Waste Water Treatment Plan Headworks.
Long-term projects such as our water and sewer mains replacement program during street re-
construction projects will continue.

As with many five-year plans, there are also projects that have not been funded. Several are
dependent upon other projects occurring first, while others are at a funding level that is unattain-
able under our current funding sources. Your City Staff will continue to seek alternate funding
sources for our infrastructure needs to maximize the value of our public dollars.

We believe that the level of investment presented in this CIP

leaves Boulder City well-positioned to remain the sustainable,
responsible, and environmentally focused organization that our
community deserves and has come to expect.

Alfonso Noyola, ICMA-CM

 What’s New with this Effort?
Another year, another Capital Improvement Plan. Same process and format as before, right?

Well, actually no. In an effort to be more transparent to both our governing body and our
citizenry, this Capital Improvement Plan is different. How? With this effort, a formal Executive
Summary (this document) has been prepared. The preparation effort began on July 1st
whereas in prior years it would start in October. The overall Capital Improvement Plan includes

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

references to key documents - such as our Asset Management Plan and our Vehicle and
Equipment Replacement Process. The Plan itself provides higher level of detail for each project,
including a map of the proposed project location, funding sources, and anticipated timeline
for completion. In addition to the traditional five-year funding plan, this effort also provides a
detailed spreadsheet showing where the funding originates for each project.

The preparation process has been changed as well. In past efforts, City Staff would prepare
the Plan and present it to the City Council for adoption at a December City Council Meeting.
The process has been modified to include the City Council much earlier in the effort through
workshops. These workshops provide an opportunity for the Council to provide meaningful input
as well as the public.

It is not intended to say that previous Capital Improvement Plans were done incorrectly. This
new process is part of an overall effort by the City to become more transparent in our operations
and decision making.

 Capital Improvement Plan
The City of Boulder City’s Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”) establishes, prioritizes, and plans
funding for projects to improve existing and develop new infrastructure and facilities. A CIP
promotes better use of the City’s limited financial resources, reduces costs, and assist in the
coordination of public and private development. The City’s CIP is a five-year roadmap, which
identifies the major expenses over and above routine annual operating expenses. While the
CIP serves as a long-range plan, it is reviewed and revised annually. Priorities may be changed
due to funding opportunities or circumstances that cause a more rapid deterioration of an asset.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

There usually is not enough money available to do all of the proposed projects, so the CIP also
serves to inform citizens of the infrastructure needs that are not currently being met. The first
year’s projects in a CIP become that year’s Capital Budget. In some cities, the Capital Budget is
approved and published separately from the Operating Budget. In other cities, including Boulder
City, the Capital Budget is developed separately from the Operating Budget but incorporated
into the Operating Budget, showing all of the capital and operating expenses combined.
As a basic tool to document anticipated capital projects, the CIP includes “unfunded” projects
which have been identified, but specific solutions and funding have not necessarily been
determined.

A CIP can be a very dynamic document. In Boulder City, the CIP is revised every year. When
new priorities come up, and new needs arise, a project that may not have appeared at all in
a previous CIP could suddenly become the highest priority in the next year’s CIP. Thus, it is
important for the reader to understand that the City Council is not committing funding for any
projects beyond the first year.

Projects scheduled in the four years after 2020 are included in the CIP to show what the
Council’s priorities are at the present time. Barring unforeseen circumstances or events, this
plan shows what the Council would like to accomplish from 2020 through 2025. The list of
projects will change from year to year, and the FY21 five-year plan may have different priorities.

Capital outlays differ from annual operating expenses. They are typically large in size and
irregular in frequency and involve the construction of assets that last for decades. The effects
of major capital decisions tend to be longer lasting than annual operating and maintenance
decisions and require somewhat different planning and budgeting methods.

The Process 
The CIP is the result of an ongoing infrastructure
planning process. The CIP incorporates information and
analysis from our Strategic Asset Management Plan to
identify those city facilities and infrastructure that are in
need of improvement, upgrades or expansion.

Planning for the five-year CIP period provides the

flexibility to take advantage of opportunities for capital
investments. The 2020-2025 CIP is developed through
compliance with adopted policies and master plans, the
public, professional staff, and elected and appointed City
officials. The Draft CIP is made available to the public for
review and then adopted by the City Council.

4 DRAFT 42
 The Process (continued)
The CIP incorporates information and analyses gathered and incorporated into the Boulder
City Asset Management Program and other planning efforts. Projects are developed using
the guiding principles described in the asset management program’s Rehabilitation and
Replacement Forecast Model, risk prioritization models, and numerous other planning tools.
These projects are then prioritized using a CIP Prioritization Model.

ASSUMPTIONS

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

The fundemental assumptions for these demand forecasts include the following:
1. The Boulder City service area will remain unchanged.
2. The regulatory environment will remain similar to current conditions. Changes in
regulation will allow sufficient time to implement changes to our asset management
program.
3. Future cost projections are escalated at an annual rate of 5%.

Who develops the CIP?

The annual process of developing and implementing a capital improvement program is quite
extensive and involves the participation of many people. Their diligence and cooperation are
crucial to this document’s success and quality. The City’s Finance Department takes the lead
in coordinating the development of the CIP and relies heavily on participation by the City’s
various departments and divisions. The Departments and divisions identify the projects to be
considered in the CIP; complete the project forms describing the projects and detailing the
costs; coordinate with each other on projects that involve more than one department or division;
and coordinate with other agencies, if applicable.

Boulder City Council

The City Council holds a workshop in the fall to review the draft CIP document. The City Council
then holds a public meeting to discuss, make any changes and adopt the CIP every December.
The adopted CIP is incorporated into the development of the Operating Budget process the
following spring.

How is the CIP developed?

Development of the CIP is a complex and lengthy process because of the enormous amount of
information and coordination involved. The process is outlined briefly, as follows:
• A CIP Kickoff meeting is held in July for all City staff who will be involved in identifying
and submitting projects.
• The departments complete CIP project forms and submit them to the Finance
Department in July.
• Meetings are held with each submitting department to review the funding proposals
and resolve any questions. The Finance Department makes any necessary revisions
and prepares a draft of all materials, which are reviewed and ranked by the prioritizing
committee in August.
• The Finance Department prepares the proposed CIP document for review by the City
Manager.
• The Finance Department prepares the proposed CIP document incorporating revisions
by the City Manager. Staff makes a presentation on the proposed CIP to City Council at
a workshop in the fall. The City Council reviews the CIP and directs staff to make any
changes they feel are necessary. From time to time, a second City Council workshop
may be held. Following the workshop(s), staff prepares the final draft of the CIP, and the
City Council holds a public hearing in December and adopts the CIP.

DRAFT 5 43
 Funding
FUNDING MECHANISMS
CIP projects are paid using multiple resources maintained by the City or through grant funding
agreements. The fund(s) from which projects are financed depends on the type of project, each
funds’ financial condition, and each funds’ source of revenues. For example, construction of a
new taxiway at the City’s Municipal Airport would primarily be paid for by the Federal Aviation
Administration, with a small portion paid directly from the Airport’s Enterprise Fund.

A summary of all projects that are scheduled to be funded as well as a schedule of all unfunded
projects is included in the Projects for FY20-24 section of this document.

TOTAL FUNDING SOURCES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020

The pie charts on pages 7 and 9 help us visualize the impact each funding source has on the overall
CIP budget. The source definitions below are broken into two categories - the overall funding source
pie, and All Other Funding Sources.

Funding Source Pie Charts

Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (“RTC”) ($16,230,000)
The RTC provides grants to local entities for transportation projects. Boulder City has used RTC
funds for street reconstruction projects, street maintenance, and traffic light management. The RTC
represents the largest of all sources, providing 48% of all funding for the FY20 CIP.

FAA and Airport ($2,840,000)

The Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant money can only be used for Airport Infrastructure. All
FAA funded projects are required to be matched from local airport funds. The current required match
is 6.25% of the project budget. The FAA/Airport resource is the third largest funding source for the
FY20 CIP project list.

FUNDING
Other Funding Sources ( Total all other funding sources: $14,830,500)
The list below covers all remaining funding sources for the FY20 CIP Project List. These 14 funding
sources provide 43% of the funding for the FY20 CIP Project List. The funding sources are listed in
alphabetical order on the following pages:

DRAFT 7 45
 Capital Improvement Fund ($4,490,000)
The Capital Improvement Fund obtains its revenues from land sale proceeds (100%) and lease
revenues (20%). All expenditures from the Capital Improvement Fund must be approved by the
voters.

Voters have authorized the following expenditures from the Capital Improvement Fund for capi-
tal projects:
• 2015 – up to $1M per year for maintaining and improving City facilities and infrastructure
• 2014 – land sale on the southeast corner of Bristlecone Drive and Adams Boulevard (known
as Tract 349, more recently named “Boulder Hills Estates”) with proceeds to be used for
repairs and improvements to the City’s utility infrastructure.
• 2014 – up to $500K annually for seven (7) years for City utility infrastructure needs
• 2010 – voters approved the land sale of approximately 45 acres of City-owned land known
as Tract 350, located adjacent to and east of the Boulder Creek Golf Club for residential
development and commercial development with the proceeds to be used as follows:
• 10% for public safety capital needs
• Remaining proceeds to be used to pay other capital debt obligations of the City

Cemetery ($50,000)
A restricted funding source, the Cemetery fund covers administration, operating, construction,
and maintenance to the Municipal Cemetery.

Clark County Regional Flood Control District (“RFC”) ($200,000)

For over two decades, the City has participated with Clark Country Regional Flood Control
District (CCRFCD) in the construction and maintenance of flood control facilities shown in
Boulder City’s Flood Control Master Plan.

Congestion Management Air Quality Funds (“CMAQ”) ($120,000)

CMAQ funds are a restricted funding source, and are obtained with the assistance from the
RTC. They are to be used to help reduce congestion and air quality through transportation
projects.

General Fund ($2,625,500)

General fund revenues are derived from consolidated tax returned from the State, land leases,
and other sources. Funds are utilized to cover operating costs for Police, Fire, Public Works,
Parks and Recreation, City Hall, Courts, and all other non-enterprise funded government ser-
vices.
FUNDING

Municipal Court Assessment Fund ($80,000)

A restricted funding source, the Court Assessment Fund generates its revenues through assess-
ments attached to each court action. The Court Assessment Fund is used to make improve-
ments to the Court House and facilities to ensure a safe environment for the employees, visitors,
and defendants.

Municipal Golf Course Surcharge Fund ($220,000)

A restricted funding source, the golf surcharge fund is utilized to make improvements to the
municipal golf course. For each round played, a fee of $1.50 is added to this fund. As monies
accumulate, the fund is used for major projects. It is not uncommon that this fund is not used for
each CIP cycle so that revenues can accumulate for a major project.

8 DRAFT 46
RDA Long-Term Utility Capital Improvement Fund ($0)
A restricted funding source, the Long-Term Utility Capital Improvement fund was created to aid
in the improvement of public utilities that serve the RDA Plan Area. The fund receives annual
allocations by the RDA Board each budget year for an application to eligible projects as may be
identified from time to time.

Residential Construction Tax ($50,000)

A restricted funding source, the Residential Construction Tax fund is a locally administered fund
that receives its revenues from new building permits for residential development. The fund was
created pursuant to NRS, and can only be used to fund park and recreation improvements to
serve our community.

Utility Funds (Electric, Water, Sewer, Landfill) ($5,460,000)

Utility fund revenues are derived predominantly from the ratepayers. Funds are utilized to cover
operating costs to keep all utilities functioning, purchase wholesale utilities, and to fund necessary
capital projects to replace old infrastructure prior to failure. If there is funding remaining in any
given year, it goes to reserve accounts with the goal of achieving the balances established by the
City Council for rate stabilization and capital projects.

Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund (“VERF”)($1,535,000)

A restricted funding source, the Vehicle, and Equipment Replacement Fund is a dedicated
funding source to pay for the replacement of all city vehicles and major pieces of equipment.
VERF is the owner of all city vehicles and equipment. The VERF is funded through annual lease

FUNDING

DRAFT 9 47
 Project Selection Criteria
What is the general philosophy behind the funding decisions?
For most projects, the City follows a pay-as-you-go philosophy. If the money is not available in
current receipts and fund balance to pay for a proposed project, then the project is not done.
The largest projects – such as a new community swimming pool - tend to be funded via a
combination of available fund balance and debt.

How are projects selected for funding?

Each project is evaluated by assigning points for consistency with the City’s adopted Strategic
Plan and priority matrix. The Strategic Asset Management Plan and the Vehicle Replacement
Plan are used as reference documents. Below are the criteria used for the point assignments.

Rating Criteria for Capital Improvement Projects

Highest totals are intended to be the highest priorities. Exempt from rankings are those projects
with dedicated funding sources that cannot be used for any other purpose (i.e., RTC funds for
street projects, Airport projects that are selected by Federal Agencies, etc).

Point Value Criteria Strategic Plan Goals

10 Project is required due to a change in • Communication
federal or state safety regulation • Brand Image
10 Removes imminent threat to public • Mobility
health and/or safety • Infrastructure
7 Project is required due to a change in • Asset Management
federal or state regulatory requirement • Financial Stewardship
5 Eligible for Matching Funds for limited • Sustainability
time • Economic Development
5 Alleviates substandard conditions or • Public Safety
deficiencies
5 Adds capacity
4 Provides economic development
incentive or opportunities
4 Improves the quality of municipal
service delivery
3 Improves the quality of a municipal
facility i.e., replacement of dead grass
in a park, etc
FUNDING

2 Reduces long term operating costs

1 Reduces short term operating costs
1 Meets a goal/strategy specified in the
adopted Strategic Plan. 1 point for
every instance. See to the right for
goal headings

Other Factors
There are instances where a project was ranked high in total points but not funded. Reasons for
not funding a project can include: Insufficient funding in the foreseeable future and project cannot
be phased, other projects must be completed prior to this project being funded, site for project not
yet identified, or may be ranked high locally but funding agency has higher priorities.

Example: The replacement swimming pool complex site has not yet been identified. As it *may*
be located on the site of the current pool, it affects other projects at that same site (the replace-
ment bathroom and new tennis courts). If the pool is located at a different site, the bathroom
project can move forward but the tennis court project is no longer necessary.

 Several Key Projects
The following are several (but not all) key projects slated for Fiscal Year 2020.

Complete Street Reconstruction for Boulder City Parkway

With design and funding secured during FY18, the project is ready to begin. Likely to start in 3rd
quarter of FY 19, this project will completely reconstruct the pavement, sidewalks and landscape
features for Boulder City Parkway from the Veterans stoplight through the Buchanan intersec-
tion. This project is funded 100% through the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern
Nevada.

School Zone Crosswalk Renovation

KEY PROJECTS

Recent changes in Federal Law governing school zone crosswalk markings require that Boulder
City renovate our crosswalk markings. The prior markings were installed as part of a pilot pro-
gram to evaluate the effectiveness of alternating markings. The federal government determined
that consistent markings are the best practice to improve safety of pedestrians and easier to see
by vehicles. This project is funded 100% through the City’s General Fund.

City Hall Customer Service Renovation
All City facilities are currently under review for possible improvements for employee safety and
customer service improvements. As the primary location for our customers to visit, City Hall is
likely to be the first of several locations to be renovated to be more customer friendly while also
improving employee safety.

KEY PROJECTS
City Utilities Improvements
A best practice for maintaing underground utilities is to reconstruct aging infrastructure concur-
rently with a street reconstruction project. For example, during FY19, the City reconstructed
Arizona Street, and as part of that project the City replaced the electrical and water mains and
where needed the service connections. The City will continue this best practice for the five year
plan.
