10-year Plan period

• Responsive to data collected and feedback received
• Consistent with other planning efforts
• 5% cost escalator applied for each year

Funding Strategy for Capital Improvement Plan

Funding Strategy Approach

TOTAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN ALL OTHER FUNDING SOURCES FUNDING NEEDED FROM PARK IMPACT FEES

Other Funding Sources

Park Impact Fee 10-Year Projections

Capital Improvement and Funding Summary

• *Sustainable Projects are TYPICALLY not eligible for PIF Funding/$600K already

committed for Memorial Park ADA improvements

• $5.3M PIF Balance

Project Prioritization Criteria

• Immediate Projects – Projects needed due to health, safety, legal and/or

ADA issues, as well as to protect the City’s current investment in facilities

• Benefit-Driven Projects - Projects that meet the park land and amenity

needs of the community, complete a partially-developed project and/or serve as a potential catalyst for economic development

• Opportunity-Driven Projects - Projects that leverage resources and offer

partnership opportunities, are located on a significant site and/or promote economic development opportunities

• Financial Capacity - Assumes funding is available for both capital AND long-

term O&M costs (we cannot not take on a project that we cannot afford to maintain)

Summary

• 10 Year Capital Improvement Program
• $179 M
• $ 4.5M is “unfunded” (lifecycle replacement in existing parks)
• Other Funding Sources – 83% allocated to funding sources other than PIF

based on the assumptions as presented

• Park Impact Fee - assumes PIF remains the same for next 10 years
• Measure N - Not factored into funding model
• New Funding Sources - Does not consider a new, dedicated funding source

for parks (i.e. lifecycle replacement)

CEQA Analysis

CEQA Analysis Summary

• CEQA Analysis Required for Central Park Project Area
• Three components of Central Park Project Area
• Barge Canal Parkway Pedestrian/Bike Multi-use Trail and Bridge
• Stone Lock Plaza Covered Event Structure
• Sacramento River Parkway

Barge Canal Parkway Stone Lock Plaza Sacramento River Parkway

CEQA Analysis Summary

• CEQA Analysis not completed for Sacramento River Parkway as this

component is not yet defined enough to evaluate.

• CEQA CONCLUSION: The proposed Central Park Projects are within the

scope of the West Sacramento GP 2035 EIR, and no new or substantially more adverse impacts would occur through implementation of the proposed Plan.

Parks Maintenance Analysis

Parks Maintenance Summary

• Best Practice maintenance standards in place
• Staff lacks capacity to implement maintenance standards fully
• Need exists for 3.2 FTEs
• Parks Annual Operating Budget = $2,083,358
• Park Operating Budget per Capita = $39.30
• National Average Park Operating Budget per Capita= $46.94
• Underfunded by approximately $400,000 annually
• Implementation of Work Order Management System to track costs and

to improve effectiveness and efficiencies of the Division.
