CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Utility Projects
Three large vales and one new valve will be installed in 2018/2019 in the City’s water system. The
replacement and installation of these large water valves will improve circulation, enhance water
quality, reduce water shut-off times for repair, and greatly reduce the amount of water loss during
water main breaks or construction mishaps saving the City expense in the purchase of wholesale
water.
In 2018/2019, the City will be continuing efforts to replace aging water and sewer infrastructure at
several locations for the purpose of maintaining high standards for water quality and increasing
system capacity. Many of these locations due to age require significant maintenance costs which
will be greatly reduced through these replacements.
In 2018/2019, the City will be replacing a sizeable portion of sewer manholes that are classified as
in poor or very poor condition. These replacements will help reduce annual expense costs for
sewer treatment due to a reduction in drainage from storms at these locations into the sewer
system.
Facility Projects
The Permanent Records building’s roof will be replaced and a building envelope seal will be
performed in 2018/2019. This replacement is anticipated to reduce maintenance costs for this
facility.
Fire Stations #1 and #2 will have the roof top HVAC units replaced in 2018/2019. These
replacements will help these locations maintain proper climate control, reduce maintenance cost,
and improve efficiency in electrical consumption.
Major Capital Equipment
Several significant pieces of equipment are included in the Adopted budget this year for
replacement, including a Vac-Con Truck, Distributor Truck, Dump Truck, and Pothole Patcher.
The majority of these units have exceeded their useful life and have begun to increase in
maintenance cost and repair time to upkeep. Replacement of these units will help improve
operational efficiency and reduce annual maintenance costs associated with these vehicles.
