HomeMy WebLinkAboutMemo - Mail Packet - 10/9/2018 - Memorandum From Lawrence Pollack Re: Councilmember Requests And Questions About The 2019 - 2020 City Managers Recommended Budget - Part 33 Attachment #1 contains the current indoor pickleball schedule that utilizes 50% of the open gym time at Northside and Senior Center. The open times on the schedule have other specific programs for other groups scheduled. 3) Request from Wade Troxell: Please describe where the City is with the integration of museums in our community. Response from Cheryl Donaldson (Museum of Discovery): To increase collaboration and integration there is a regional group of museum directors and administrators who meet quarterly at a Directors’ Round Table to share information and exchange ideas. We also frequently partner on specific projects and support one another’s mission and goals. Currently the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery (FCMoD) collaborates with other museums in Fort Collins: - Staff works with Poudre Landmarks Foundation (PLF) to coordinate PSD second grade students to visit both the Avery House and the Historic Heritage Courtyard at the Carnegie Center for Creativity. We have also worked with PLF in the past, to help train their volunteers on artifact collection management and the curation of artifacts. - FCMoD worked with the Museo de las Tres Colonias to provide joint programming for PSD students. The Museo recently went through some organizational changes and they are regrouping and recommitting to the mission of the Museo. The new Board of Directors of the Museo have recently been able to reopen the museum for limited hours. Once the Museo is ready to deepen their engagement with community, FCMoD will look for ways to support them in these efforts. - FCMoD partnered with CSU and the Global Village Museum to have Public History Graduate students research local stories about immigration through the FCMoD Local History Archive. The students’ research culminated with an exhibition at the Global Village Museum. These are just a few of the examples of how the Museum work with other museums in our City and region. In addition to this work and the Directors’ Round Table, the City’s pending cultural plan should address how community cultural organizations can work together and communicate more efficiently to serve the residents of Fort Collins better. The following are the current organizations and their contacts who participate in the Directors’ Round Table. Fort Collins representation includes: - Fort Collins Museum of Discovery - Cheryl Donaldson - Visual Art Program - Ellen Martin - Museum of Art Fort Collins - Lisa Hatchadoorian - Center for Fine Art Photography - Hamidah Glasgow - Global Village Museum - LaVon Blasi (recently left the organization; Gayle Warner is the new Director) - Poudre Landmarks Foundation (Avery House and Waterworks)- Jennifer Beccard 4 CSU representation includes: - Avenir Museum - Doreen Beard - Gregory Allicar Museum of Art - Lynn Boland - Student Art Exhibitions - Doug Sink Loveland representation includes: - Loveland Museum - Susan Ison - Artworks - Angela Brill - Firehouse Art - Beryl Durazo Greeley representation includes: - Greeley Museums - Dan Perry - UNC Galleries - Pamela Campanero Longmont representation includes: - Longmont Museum - Kim Manajek UOutcome: Economic Health 4) Request from Ross Cunniff: Metro District Support indicates it is funded by economic incentives even though the Offer references fee related revenue. Please indicate which type of funding is correct and update accordingly for the final budget document. Response from Josh Birks (Economic Health): Funding for the Metro District item comes directly from fees paid by Metro District applicants. The Economic Incentives funding source was referenced because the revenues from these fees are placed in a business unit to make accounting for and managing these revenues easier. 5) Request from Wade Troxell: Offer 41.1 What is the leverage ratio for the Industry Cluster program and what would be the specific uses of this funding in the 2019-20 Budget? Response from Josh Birks (Economic Health): The historic leverage ratio has been approximately $3 for every $1 of City investment. Please refer to Attachment #2 which is a memo detailing the plans for the Industry Cluster funds in 2019 and 2020. UOutcome: Environmental Health 6) Request from Ross Cunniff: Please explain the use of KFCG funding in Offer 86.5 Natural Areas - Planning and Special Projects. Response from John Stokes (Natural Areas): To clarify what was stated during the October 1 budget work session, the use of KFCG funding in that Offer is for the staff member dedicated to running the Nature in the City 5 Program. The reason for this is that the Community Capital Improvement Program (CCIP) tax revenue was not intended to fund staffing for voter approved CCIP projects. UOutcome: Transportation 7) Request from Gerry Horak: What Offers would be funded with other revenue sources like the State Transportation Tax Initiative? Response from Laurie Kadrich (PDT) and Mike Beckstead (Financial Services): Please refer to Attachment #3 which is a memo dated September 5, 2018 8) Request from Ross Cunniff: Electric buses cost more than CNG powered ones, but the operations and maintenance costs are significantly lower. What is the breakeven price for electric buses excluding start-up costs and required charging infrastructure? Response from Drew Books (Transfort): Two vendors have confirmed that the operating saving for electric vs. CNG buses is approximately $39,000 annually. Depending on the final cost of the bus and possible operating variables, staff estimates that the increased upfront cost of an electric bus could be recouped in as little as six years of operation. 9) Request from Ross Cunniff: Please summarize the current level of ADA bus stop improvements and how that changes in the 2019-20 Budget. Please also include information about the recent grant award. Response from Drew Books (Transfort): • Transfort currently receives $100,000 annually in CCIP funding for bus stop improvements. In addition, KFCG funding was dedicated to bus stop improvements, $308,801 in 2017 and $306,076 in 2018. During the current BFO cycle, staff was asked to break out KFCG as it relates to bus stop improvements. Currently, the ballot mandated CCIP funding ($100,000) is above the line of the City Manager’s recommended budget and the KFCG that has previously been used for bus stop improvements is below the line (2019 - $361,890, 2020 - $364,730). • With Transfort’s goal of making 100% of bus stops ADA compliant by 2026, Transfort staff actively pursued additional grant funding to supplement the ADA Bus Stop Improvement Program. On September 25, 2018, FTA announced the winners of the Bus and Bus Facilities Infrastructure Investment program (https://www.transit.dot.gov/about/news/us-department- transportation-announces-3662-million-grants-modernize-and-improve-america). Transfort was awarded $1.5 million of federal funds for additional ADA bus stop improvements and bus stop amenities and infrastructure. Transfort plans to leverage the remaining 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 CCIP funding for the 20% local match required for this grant. • The transit system is currently 65% ADA compliant. The new grant allows Transfort to make twice the investment in bus stops in 2019 and 2020 as we did in 2017 and 2018, plus the 6 accompanying amenities (shelters, benches, bike racks, trash and recycle receptacles). This will bring the transit system stops from 65% to 80% ADA compliant. 10) Request from Gerry Horak: Please rewrite Offer 45.1 Transit Local Fixed Route Network so that it includes the cost and description of Offer 45.5 Transfort 365 Service. Offer 45.5 should then be withdrawn as Offer 45.1 will indicate Transfort is operating in the new model of 365 day service. Response from Drew Books (Transfort): These Offers will be combined into a single Offer in the final biennial budget; the new Offer summary will be as follows: Funding this offer will provide fixed route transit service within the City of Fort Collins and regional service. This offer is a request for Transfort to continue to provide the following transportation options for the City's community; transit service throughout the City along 22 routes, that include the MAX, FLEX (Regional service to Loveland/Longmont/Boulder), Around the Horn, Gold, and 18 local routes. This offer also includes continued Transfort 365 Service (Sundays and holidays) at the current level funded in 2017 and 2018. Six routes (MAX, 2, 3, 8, 14, and 16) currently operate on Sundays and holidays. This proposal will pay for salaries and benefits, feet maintenance, fuel, insurance, uniforms, support services & including a contractual transit planner position. Anticipated levels of ridership are more than 4 million trips per year. Over the last year, fixed route ridership has increased by 6% and from 2013 to 2016 transit ridership in Fort Collins increased by 78%. This offer also addresses support services such as: road supervision, dispatching/scheduling, customer service, facility maintenance, utility costs, service development and public outreach, administrative staffing, communication expenses (telephone, wireless etc.), passenger safety and code enforcement, supplies, and liability insurance. Funding for this offer will come from a variety of sources: • Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 grants (~$5M) • State funding from FASTER (~$400k) • Advertising fees from buses and bus shelters (~$300K) • Fare and pass revenue and grant funding from the Bohemian Foundation (that allows the youth population to travel free of charge on all routes), (~$600k) • An Agreement with Colorado State University and the Associated Students of Colorado State University to provide enhanced transit services to campus and surrounding areas (~$2M), • The General Fund or other City sources (~$9M). FUNDING: 2019: 17,857,590 2020: 18,262,354 7 UOutcome: High Performing Government 11) Request from Ross Cunniff: What are driving the cost increases in the City Manager's Office and in Sustainability Services compared to the 2017-18 Budget? Response from Wendy Bricher (City Manager’s Office & Sustainability Services): As shown on the Expenses by Area table on page 20 of the Recommended Budget, the City Manager’s Office budget grew from $2.35M to 2.71M, or about 15%, between 2018 and 2019. The delta of $357k is primarily due to Offer 87.1 which is moving the Office of Emergency Management from Poudre Fire Authority to the City Manager’s Office. For Offer 44.1 Sustainability Services Admin - The increase in the Sustainability Services Admin budget (Offer # 44.1) is primarily due to an existing Senior Financial Analyst now funded 100% SSA, previously funded 50% by the Utilities Light and Power Fund, due to shifting work demands to support more SSA and organization-wide programs. However, the net gain in the offer is only $27,809, or 5.8% ($482,457 in 2018 vs $510,266 in 2019) due to additional reductions in non-personnel costs. 12) Request from Ross Cunniff: Offer 50.1 What is driving the 25% increase in Fleet Rental costs compared to the 2017-18 Budget? Please also describe what the City is doing to reduce vehicle miles traveled? Response from Tracy Ochsner (Operation Services): The 25% increase in 50.1 Fleet Maintenance, Fueling and Rentals is attributed to the vehicle and equipment lease purchase payments for current ongoing obligations which were moved into this Offer. In previous budget cycles, these existing obligations were separate Offers. By combining the offers this cycle, it increases offer 50.1 by 28% in 2019 and 20% in 2020. These obligations total $2.885 million and $2.22 million respectively. If you remove these obligations, the total budget on 50.1 is 4.3% lower in 2019 and 1.3% higher in 2020 compared to 2018. Please see the chart below: In reference to what the City is doing to reduce vehicles miles traveled and fuel reduction, here are some current initiatives: - District Park Maintenance shops to reduce driving across town - GPS systems for route optimization - Mobile fueling so construction equipment can stay on-site - Anti-idling policy and idle reduction technology - Provide departments detailed interactive reports showing miles driven, fuel usage, carbon emissions and CAP goal progress. - Purchase the most fuel efficient vehicle for the job application 8 - The City has 67 electric vehicles: o 21 Sedans o 42 Parks Utility Vehicles o 2 Push Mowers o 2 Large Riding Mowers - We have 66 hybrids vehicles - Purchase crew cabs to accommodate carpooling to jobsites. 13) Request from Ross Cunniff: Why is Offer 50.8 ENHANCEMENT: Fleet Vehicle and Equipment Replacements increased 50% over 2018? Response from Tracy Ochsner (Operation Services): This offer includes expenses to pay the leasing company principle and interest for new vehicles. In addition, it also includes the expenses that are in each department budget to make these (rental) payments to the Fleet Fund. In other words, the true expenses in this offer are 50% of the offer amount. This change in accounting was the result of a Tabor review and recommendation from the City Attorney’s office. URequests not specific to an Outcome 14) Request from Ross Cunniff: Please provide a list of Council requests for 2019-20 Offers that are not funded and include the reasoning of why those Offers were not included in the Recommended Budget. Response from Mike Beckstead (Financial Services): Please refer to Attachment #4 for the requested detail. Please note that the Offer, as submitted, may include a scope that is broader than the specific Council request. It is also important to note that BFO Teams generally do not know which Offers may have been requested by Councilmembers. This is done to help ensure an ‘even playing field’ as the BFO Teams evaluate all Offers submitted to their Outcome. This requested information has not been requested in the past and was not collected during the final decisions of what to recommend for funding. As such, some responses only indicate ‘lack of available funding.’ 15) Request from Ross Cunniff: Please provide a list of Offers funded in the Recommended Budget that displays the portion funded by the General Fund. Response from Mike Beckstead (Financial Services): Please refer to Attachment #5 which displays all Offers that include some level of funding from the General Fund that is truly discretionary; specifically, General Fund ongoing revenue, one-time revenue and reserves. 16) Request from Mike Beckstead: Please provide a list of the remaining unanswered Council questions about the 2019-20 Recommended Budget. Response from Lawrence Pollack (Budget): The remaining unanswered questions that staff is currently working on are as follows: 9 Councilmember Request or question Cunniff Please provide a summary of the Offers that have used one-time funding for ongoing expenses Horak How long will it take to replace the current gas-powered lawn and garden equipment and what would be required to influence our contractors, who work on areas like medians, to lower the City's overall ozone impact? Overbeck / Martinez Please explain how the City is attempting to tap into the State of Colorado Volkswagon settlement funding and include a flow chart of how that funding is being dispersed.

BOTTOM-LINE: The Economic Health Office (EHO) believes that the Industry Cluster program provides valuable investment in the Fort Collins economy. However, the program has existed in substantially the same form for over six years. EHO believes it is time to re-evaluate the program. Therefore, EHO proposes pausing the program in 2019 to develop an updated strategy which includes exploring a regional approach with additional matching funders. This pause, as well as, strategic redeployment of funds will allow the program funding to achieve several Council adopted priorities, including:  Economic Health Focus – Workforce (Talent Development)  Economic Health Focus – Business Retention & Expansion (Business Engagement)  Small Business Visibility (Small Business Support) REDEPLOYMENT PROPOSAL: The City Manager’s recommended budget includes the following redeployment of funds historically used to support the development of Industry Clusters to achieve the following objectives in 2019/2020.  Industry Clusters – U2019 ($25,000)U fund an update to the industry cluster strategy – explore a regional approach with additional matching funders using outside facilitation; U2020 ($120,000)U fund $100,000 into a renewed industry cluster program (objectives would be aligned with City as a Platform &/or Smart Cities strategy) and $20,000 for program administration; the new strategy might include funding partnerships with other entities (e.g., CSU, Counties, other Cities) to replace Cities redeployed funds. Attachment #2  Talent Development – U2019 ($15,000)U support talent portal and resource directory as identified in the Talent 2.0 report published by the Chamber and developed through a partnership of Larimer County Workforce, City of Loveland, City of Fort Collins, Town of Windsor, Loveland Chamber, and One NoCo; U2020 ($33,500)U on-going support of portal and directory ($3,500) and invest in educational alignment such as curriculum development in partnership with other entities (another strategy identified in Talent 2.0) and talent investments aligned with Industry Cluster strategy ($30,000).  Small Business Support – U2019 ($98,500)U combine funding with dollars from Platte River Power Authority to create a loan loss reserve fund, or similar credit enhancement instrument, to enable a revolving loan fund targeting “under banked” constituencies, such as minority-, low- income-, women, and veteran-owned businesses. This investment should support a $1.0 million revolving loan fund.  Business Engagement – U2019 ($35,000)U develop curriculum for customer service training for City employees in partnership with ASCEND at CSU; U2020 ($20,000)U develop new engagement tools and outreach methods. Both programs will continue the process of improving the City’s coordinated approach to serving and engaging the business customer.  SBDC – U2019 & 2020 ($26,500)U shift remaining General Fund support of the Larimer County Small Business Development Center to KFCG – total funding remains at $40,000 annually.

Mike Beckstead, Chief Financial Olticer y'f{g This is a response to inquiries from Councilmembers reqardino how the pendinq statewide ballot initiative. referenced as lnitiative #153, reqardinq transportation fundinq. would impact the Citv's transportation resources and activities. Bottom Line: Ballot lnitiative #153, il passed would increase sales tax statewide O.627o tor 20 years to fund transportation projects. Funding would be allocated to state, county and municipal organizations Fort Collins anticipates an estimated $5M of annual funding starting in 2019 plus the potential of an additional $2M per year from a competitive process locused on multimodal projects. Eligible expenditures include planning, design, construction, repair, maintenance, equipment, operations and administration of streets and transit related projects. Staff has identified priorities that Council could fund using the projected new revenue in three areas; 1) near term priorities of unf unded 2O19I2O2O budget oflers, 2) Transit servlce exp€nsion, and Si nign prioriiy Capital lmprovement Plan projects. The three lists are intended to illustrate the pioie'ctr ne* irnding can be used for and provide council initial opportunities to be considered' int tnr"" areas are-in priority order and the projects in each section are ranked high to low. Transportation Fundinq lnitiative #153 Summarv Ballot lnitiative #153, if passed, would increase sales tax statewide o.62"k Ic( 20 years to fund transportation projects. Funding lor #153 would be divided as follows: . 45"/o to the State highwaY fund Attachment #3 Cit lins The municipal share ol the sales tax increase would provide Fort Collins an estimated $5M a year starting in 2019 and total approximately $150M over 20 years. The details of the multimodal funding distribution are less defined, but it seems likely that Fort Collins could receive approximately $2M annually for multimodal projects distributed on a competitive basis that would require a local match. Eligible expenditures detailed within lhe ballot measure include: Construction, engineering, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, equipment, acquisition ol right-ol-way, and administration of the system of streets projects Planning, design, engineering, acquisition, installation, construction, repair, reconstruction, maintenance, operation, or administration of transit-related projects Designated bicycle or pedestrian lanes of highway infrastructure needed to integrate different transportation modes within a multimodal system City stalf has developed a priority list consistent with eligible expenditures. The list is broken into three major areas; 1) near term needs identified as offers within the 201912020 BFO process that are unfunded, 2) Transit service expansions that can be implemented individually or in aggregate, and 3) Projects identified within the City Transportation Capital lmprovement Plan. Opportunities within each area are prioritized like our drilling platforms with lhe highest priority projects at the top. opportunities are not segregated by the $5M of shared funding or the $2M of competitive lunding.

Categories within the plan include Bicycle, Bridges, lntersections, Pedestrian, Railroad and Streets. The Bicycle Master Plan was updated in 2014 and the Transportation Plan is currently being updated. lndividual project priorities in the plan can shift over time based on leverage opportunities, development patterns, emerging technologies, and other factors. The 2012 Plan includes a 2l-year need of over $900M in unfunded transportation projects. The list above is intended to be a sample representation of the types of projects included in the plan. Conclusion Ballot lnitiative #153 will provide increased transportation funding of approximately $5M annually plus the potential for an additional competitive process $2M per year to Fort Collins. We recommend that the funding of any new projects be balanced with increasing operational and maintenance needs. It is recommended that this funding be deployed strategically to improve Transportation outcomes including consideration of increased transit service and transit capital projects. The funding will result in CDOT reconstructing the l-25lMulberry interchange which would require approximately $10M in Urban Design. The above opportunity lists are intended to provide Council with a menu of projects that reflect staff's ranked assessment of need and project prioritization.

The Police Training Facility and I-25 were deemed highest priority because of existing partnerships and leveraging other resources. This is the highest priority project if the State Transportation Tax is approved. 6.12 ENHANCEMENT: North College/Mountain Vista Enhanced Travel Corridor Master Plan 325,000 - If additional funding becomes available, this project is the highest priority in terms of plans, although the BFO Team recommends revisiting the scope and budget to lower costs 35.7 ENHANCEMENT: Restore Street Maintenance Program Funding 250,000 500,000 To maintain the current Level of Service 'B' of City streets, this increased funding was not necessary Offer # Offer Name 2019 Cost 2020 Cost Rationale for not funding 45.6 ENHANCEMENT: 5.0 FTE (4 Bus Operators, 1 Supervisor) - Additional Transfort 365 Service 183,339 503,092 45.8 ENHANCEMENT: 3.0 FTE - Bus Operators - Southeast Transit Fixed Route and Dial-A-Ride Service 560,000 347,387 45.10 ENHANCEMENT: Dial-A-Taxi Increase Service Availability 109,500 109,500 45.12 ENHANCEMENT: 8.0 FTE - Bus Operators - North College Corridor Transit Improvements 1,260,000 565,590 45.17 ENHANCEMENT: 13.0 FTE (12 Bus Operators, 1 Supervisor) - Improved Service and Increased Frequency to Existing Routes 1,805,887 835,863 69.1 ENHANCEMENT: I-25 Improvements Local Funding Match 1,125,000 1,125,000 Available funding & prioritization with other competing Offers 69.5 KFCG ENHANCEMENT: Prospect Road Improvements - Sharp Point Drive to I-25 Frontage Road - 4,200,000 Available funding & prioritization with other competing Offers High Performing Government 13.3 ENHANCEMENT: Full Attendance of Youth Advisory Board at NLC Conference 14,500 15,600 Funding is already included in another offer to send a couple board members and a chaperone to the conference. BLT felt this was an opportunity to seek grant funding if additional members wish to attend. 13.6 ENHANCEMENT: Redistricting Study - 79,200 There were concerns about the need to potentially outsource redistricting every time it needs to be done. The team’s recommendation was to keep redistricting in-house, not fund this offer, and to partner with Neighborhood Services and CPIO to facilitate a process that builds trust in redistricting. 13.7 ENHANCEMENT: 1.0 FTE - Elections Coordinator - Election Improvements and Oversight 145,828 120,779 Available funding & prioritization with other competing Offers, as well as concerns with FTE growth The funding of Transfort ongoing services became the driving factor of much of the BFO Team’s discussions. Transfort services are a key element in the strategic plan (“Improve Transit Availability and Grow Ridership”), and service has expanded in recent years with the addition of MAX and Sunday service. A higher level of service, increased costs for personnel, fuel and fleet maintenance, as wellas lack of additional available funding were all challenges.
