Grading the Capital Budget Requests

Who passed? Who failed? Who are the brown-nosers (A+), those who did what they had to do to get by, and those who failed miserably and didn’t have any intention of following the rules.

OK – there were alot of numbers to review and some of them confusing and conflicting, so I did the best I could.  I expect there may be a mistake or two in here, so if you spot them, let me know!  From what I can tell, after looking at city budgets for 8 years, here’s how it shakes out/what’s interesting.  I noted what was in the budget for 2010 and in the small print, there is info about what is planned for the next 5 years.  Additionally, I color coded some numbers as follows.

Money authorized last year, not spent – I think there should be some sort of penalty for routinely asking for money that is not spent.

Money removed to meet Mayor’s target – these are the department suggestions to get to the 20% goal, but were still proposed.

Mayor’s target – the 20% reduction number

Money from other sources, i.e. not borrowed and therefore taxpayers don’t pay the interest.

The grading is as follows
A+ = under target
A = they had to come in on budget the first time, without additional proposals that would be cut
B = did come in on or under the target, but came up with proposals to hit the target or has other funds to pay for it
C = came close to target or within a couple hundred thousand dollars with proposed cuts
D = off target by millions, but tried or off by a little bit, but didn’t try
F = Didn’t even seem try

Some of my comments or items to pay attention to in red.  But I’m sure I will discover more comments as I have more time to review the numbers.  Finally, just let me say, I think the mayor’s instructions of a 20% reduction should have been more nuanced.  Some did well by dumb luck, others are ranked low, but have situations that might make the target a little unfair.

$19.5M for MMB/GE Parking Garage, $10M in 2011 and $9.5M in 2012

This project envisions a 600-stall City garage to be built on the current MMB site. It may be built in conjunction with a hotel and extend under Pinckney St into the current Gov East site. Planning will take place in 2010 costing $1.2M, with construction in 2011/12 costing $18.6M ($31K/space x 600, inc. land value). Phasing allows for the demolition of Gov East garage in 2012. The Gov East Garage is 51 years old and is nearing the end of its useful life. Maintenance costs are becoming increasingly high. The current maintenance schedule could keep the facility in operation until 2014. It is estimated that demolition costs for Gov East garage would cost $950K. The project assumes a mixed-use (ofc bldg) project on the current Gov East site.

$1.2M for fire equipment in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Equipment costs go up to $5M in 2013 and $8M in 2014.

This is a continuing program. The original fleet equipment replacement policy was developed in the mid 80’s. Beginning in 2008, Fleet Service has begun an extensive evaluation of the fleet equipment replacement schedule. The evaluation has included the likelihood of extending or shorting the expected life of some classifications of equipment. We have developed a new formula that will better forecast the estimated replacement costs that will include the anticipated engine and overall manufacturing price increases required to meet the new 2010 EPA regulations as well as the feasibility of purchasing equipment that will reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of the City’s Fleet.
This budget reduces the line item by 20% as requested. This reduction is deferred to the 2011 Capital Improvement Program. Reduction in the replacement of vehicles may increase vehicle out of service time and increase operating expense.

In 2013 and 2014 and  they are asking for $67M for a new building.  $31M in 2013 and $20M in 2014 and $16M in 2015.  

This project is for the initial Site Analysis requested by the mayor needed for the Expansion and Remodeling of the Transit Admin. and Operations  Offices, Maintenance and Bus Storage Facility.  The  budget in 2011 through 2015 will allow for the engineering and design costs (architect) necessary for the building expansion and improvements as determined by the Building Needs Analysis Study that was completed in 2005 and the commencement of the construction project. Eighty percent of the cost of these projects will be funded by Federal funds and the local share will come from general obligation debt.

Metro completed the Space Needs Analysis study in 2005. The next phase is developing design plans (architect) and engineering, as well as to perform a site analysis as requested by the Mayor. This is a safety and security issue since Metro is housing 71 buses beyond what the facility was designed to house. The new design will incorporate traffic flow and maintenance area enhancements that will better utilize available space. In addition, the new facility will allow for adequate space for Metro personnel to operate within the same facility, eliminating the need to lease additional office space. Metro’s ability to be a true Regional Transit Authority in the Madison/Dane County area is constrained by the current facility. Planning ahead 10 to 20 years, Metro should anticipate increased public transportation needs due to oil prices, energy scarcity, global warming, and other factors. In order for Metro to meet these needs, a larger facility is required. The Building Expansion/Remodel project are also in response to recommendations made by the Ad-Hoc Committee.

$40,000 for Rifles in 2011

Currently rifles (carbines) are assigned on a shared basis to patrol operations. Rifles are installed in all “patrol ready” fleet vehicles, and are deployed (on almost a daily basis) by officers, as dictated by the incident .  To accommodate the universal deployment of the rifles to patrol squad cars, a precision marksman generically “sights” each of these weapons.  Variations in the size of the officer, shape of the face, length of the arm and vision, results in serious issues with accuracy when a rifle is universally sighted.  This creates liability concerns, and has resulted in some officers lacking confidence in their ability to effectively utilize the weapon in an emergency. Thus, there is a need to transition to personally assigned rifles, sighted to the individual officer. Funds will be used to purchase rifles, and rifle accessories, to transition to individual assignments.

$1M Vehicle Storage Facility in 2012

$10M Added District Stations $4.8M in 2013 and $5.2M in 2015

Anticipating and preparing for the needs and safety of the citizens of Madison is essential to ensuring a high quality of life within our community.  Community facilities are important in providing direct contact with the people and neighborhoods that utilize the services.  In fact, the City of Madison Comprehensive Plan includes goals, objectives and policies that provide the framework for community facilities, outlining the need for community-based policing strategies that include integration of new police district stations into neighborhoods, and ensuring the strategic location of facilities to provide effective service.  As the city continues to grow, including annexing portions of the Town of Madison and Town of Blooming Grove, current facilities will be unable to maintain the level of service and response time needed to enhance community partnerships in public safety.   This proposal is for additional stations to serve the Northwest and Northeast sections of the city.

The MPD has long striven to recruit, hire and train a diverse workforce to provide the highest quality, professional police service.  This process includes conducting an internal Preservice Academy to ensure that all recruit officers are sufficiently trained in a community policing model that promotes problem-solving, community involvement, proactive policing and all technical aspects of police services.   After 14 years, the collaboration with MATC drew to a close due to the lack of options at the start of the Academy.  To avoid ongoing issues related to lack of space, shortcomings in technology and lack of control over a training facility, the Department is proposing a training facility that will meet the various needs of the MPD, including an in-door range.  This facility could be used by  all City agencies for training, and by the MPD for external paid trainings.

This future project is to further remodel the MMB including window and HVAC replacement. This project would include some interior work on the 2nd floor and would also address the significant energy issues through incorporating new lighting, electrical upgrades, and plumbing fixtures. This project is scheduled for 2013.

$17M for office space

This project is to replace office space for City employees in the MMB. The assumptions for this project are that we build new 60,000 sq/ft building and that the cost of construction is $250 sq/ft. This also assumes that there are no land costs as the City and the Parking Utility may be able to swap land. This also assumes building some parking for City Fleet. The design for this project is scheduled for 2012 with construction beginning in 2013.  If the MMB is converted to a hotel, there will be a need to build new office space for City staff.

New Central Library $28,300,000 ($3,135,000)
Library Technology Improvements $43,200

Notes of interest for next 5 years:

South Madison Library – $450,000 of this request is reauthorized from 2009. When the budget for this mixed-use project (with Urban League of Greater Madison and Planned Parenthood) was set up, it was based on an estimate of the cost to purchase the building shell. The final agreement for that purchase was $102,000 higher than estimated. Furthermore, the build-out costs are higher than expected than when this project was originally envisioned. Note: This $275,000 overage will be reduced by $100,000 if the City receives requested stimulus money for this energy efficiency project. There could also be a reduction if the contractor bids for build-out come in lower than expected. Addition of Supervisor (100%) Librarian III position for this much larger branch.

Central Library – At the time of the submission of this budget, it is unknown what the Council decision will be regarding a new Central Library, or a re-hab of the current building. Until that decision is made, we’ve left the project in the budget as submitted in 2009.

Technology Improvements – At its June 2009 meeting, the Library Board approved a plan to allocate previously approved capital project funds to support current much-needed technology upgrades affecting all library sites, as follows: Project #810589 — $80,000 (Library Technology Improvements 2008) has been borrowed. Project # 810629 — $100,000 funded for Pinney Branch improvements in 2009, plus an additional request in 2010 for $54,000 for the same project. The $54,000 2010 project was reduced by 20%, as required, and has been combined with the other two projects into one project, # 810589, totalling $223,200.

This total of $223,200 would be used for nine wide-ranging technology improvement projects that will improve services, as follows: 1) Purchase a second Optical Disc Repair System to repair damaged DVDs and CDs @ $8,068. 2) Purchase two express checks for the new South Madison Branch @ $35,000. 3) Re-outfit the print shop with current equipment @ $50,000. 4) Construct a new parallel high-speed information network to serve all MPL locations @ $25,000. 5) Purchase mobile computing devices (laptops, netbooks) to check out to patrons for in-library use. 6) Install digital signage at South Madison and Sequoya Branch Libraries, similar to current system already operating at Lakeview Branch Library @ $30,000. 7) Expand early literacy stations (already sucessfully operating at Meadowridge & Sequoya) to South Madison and Pinney Branches @ $22,690. 8) Install color printers at 7 branch libraries @ $21,000. 9) Increase the desktop computing capability at Hawthorne (add four PC’s) and Pinney (add five PC’s) @ $12,446.

Funds from this project would be used to purchase mobile computing devices that our patrons could check out for in-library use. This would greatly increase the amount of computing available to the public without requiring extensive furniture modifications or additions. Funds would also be used to install digital signage at the new South Madison and Sequoya branches, which would be similar to the system already operating successfully at Lakeview. Studies indicate that patrons engage with this signage more than static or printed signage. This will also help to reduce the paper needed to print signs and brochures, and the cost of that printing.
