DATE: April 23, 2017

A. Approval of Minutes from March 26, 2018

B. Parks and Recreation Development Update


The following information is intended to provide the PRAB with relevant updates on specific
projects as they reach major milestones. This section is not all inclusive of all current projects
and only illustrates major project updates. For a complete list of all current projects and details,
please visit www.BoulderParkNews.org.

Planning and Design


The following projects are currently in the planning and design process that involves research,
alternatives analysis, public involvement and development of planning documents and design
plans to guide decision making and future capital improvements.

• Engagement Coordination Committee: The department will be participating in What’s


Up Boulder: Citywide Open House and Activities on April 30th. This is a unique
opportunity to learn about the city’s top projects and services in an enjoyable atmosphere.
Community members can expect to see clear timelines, impacts and engagement
opportunities of projects to better understand the services and how to connect with them.
At this event, the department will host a table featuring Natural Lands, Forestry and
Historical/Cultural Assets.

• Harbeck-Bergheim House: The Harbeck-Bergheim property was first leased and


ultimately purchased by the City of Boulder in 1989. The former Boulder History
Museum, now the Museum of Boulder (MOB), has leased the building operating and
managing it as a museum. In 2012, the MOB signed a contract to purchase the Masonic
Lodge indicating their intention to relocate museum operations. The MOB has announced
plans to vacate the Harbeck-Bergheim property in 2018, giving rise to the department’s
consideration of the landmarked property’s going-forward use and maintenance in the
context of the department’s mission, Master Plan, capital planning and asset management
efforts.

3198 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80304 | www.boulderparks-rec.org | O: 303-413-7200


An Information Packet Memorandum was submitted to City Council on April 5, 2018 for
the purpose of providing council with the property’s historic, financial, use, maintenance
and zoning-related background information, options related to the future use of the
property and a proposed process and timeline for engaging the community in considering
next steps.

• Scott Carpenter Outdoor Pool Redevelopment Project: The Scott Carpenter Outdoor
Pool will be open for its regular 2018 season but this year it will operated without the
tower slide. Upon inspection the slide, showed deficiencies that required its removal
before the pool’s opening. The costs associated with the necessary repairs and on-going
maintenance for the tower slide were significant and considering the upcoming
renovation project, this work was not recommended. The redevelopment plans for the
pool facility call for a new tower slide.

To provide an opportunity for pool users to have a varied experience while visiting the
facility, the department will be installing a temporary aqua climbing wall in place of the
aged tower slide. This climbing wall will be removed at the end of the 2018 season and
reinstalled at the South Boulder Recreation Center (SBRC).

• Scott Carpenter Park Easement and Disposal Update: Regarding the easement and
disposal issue that staff presented the PRAB in February of 2018, staff continues to work
with the City Attorney’s Office (CAO) and the Public Works, Water Resources
workgroup to address comments by the University of Colorado and develop an agreement
with the Ditch Users.

Staff will update the PRAB on a timeframe for when the item will be brought back before
the Board for action.

• Universal Access Design Youth Project Follow-up: As a follow-up to the student


presentation to PRAB in March, Growing Up Boulder has submitted the Universal
Access Design Report to document and share the project and results. In addition, they
have created a two-page summary report and an appendix that illustrates the full details
of the process.

• Paved Mini Pump Track in North Boulder Park: A group of local donors has
raised $35,000 toward the creation of a mini pump track enhancement in North Boulder
Park. The gift recognizes the Red Zinger Classic/Coors International Bicycle Classic, a
series of annual bicycle races launched in 1975 by creator Mo Siegel which epitomized
the community's important role in establishing pro-cycling competitions nationally and
worldwide. The envisioned enhancement will result in a small, paved path adjacent to the
existing path surrounding the park's play area that is already beloved by area children as
they first learn to ride. A similar track was created in Howard Heuston neighborhood
park in 2017 as part of the recent renovation. This enhancement is fully funded by the
donation and will also include additional seating for park visitors. North Boulder Park
was selected by the donors as an ideal location for this improvement as it was the finish
line location for the Classic many years ago.

• Urban Forest Strategic Plan: April brings two exciting opportunities for tree canopy
preservation and diversification. The Arbor Day Tree Give Away on April 21 will
provide up to 250 free tree seedlings to help counter the impact of the Emerald Ash
Borer. The Tree Sale pick-up on April 28 supports tree diversity in Boulder’s urban forest
by offering 17 different tree species of a 1.25” caliper (#15 gallon pot) size at a
discounted rate.

• Prairie Dogs: Staff continue to participate on the city-wide Prairie Dog Working Group
(PDWG). The final report is expected to be presented to the City Manager in late second
quarter 2018. An Information Packet Memorandum and/or a discussion of Phase 2
recommendations with City Council at a study session will also be held to share analyses
and discuss potential impacts of recommendations from PDWG. Meeting notes, next
steps and updated information can be found at https://bouldercolorado.gov/osmp/prairie-
dog-working-group.

Per Boulder’s Urban Wildlife Management Plan, lethal control was performed on eight
burrows for two remaining prairie dogs at the OSMP Foothills Area removal site.
Department staff coordinated with OSMP staff to close burrow systems across the entire
area to deter future re-colonization.

• Birds of Special Concern: Annual closures to protect sensitive nesting species went into
effect March 15th for the western side of Boulder Reservoir and for the Coot Lake
wetland. Staff is preparing new environmental education materials that will be available

PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AGENDA ITEM

MEETING DATE: April 23, 2018

AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing and Consideration of Motion to Approve a Three-


Year Memorandum of Understanding for Operations and Coordination of Boulder
Valley School District’s (BVSD) Summer Learning Aftercare Programming (MOU).

PRESENTERS:
Yvette Bowden, Director, Parks and Recreation
Alison Rhodes, Deputy Director, Parks and Recreation
Dean Rummel, Recreation Manager, Programs and Partnerships
Alexis Moreno, Recreation Supervisor, Youth and Families

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This agenda item seeks the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board’s (PRAB) review and
consideration to approve a three-year Memorandum of Understanding for Operations and
Coordination of the Boulder Valley School District’s (BVSD)’s Summer Learning
Aftercare Program (Attachment A).

On April 3, 2018 department staff updated presented the PRAB on the status of the 2017
pilot program and introduced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

The department's operation of the BVSD’s Summer Learning Aftercare programming


promotes four key community priorities:

1. Providing community building through mutually beneficial and mission-focused


partnerships;
2. Providing community health and wellness benefits;
3. Actively engaging youth with places, facilities and programs, and
4. Targeting the use of subsidies for beneficial community programming.

The purpose of this item is for the PRAB to consider a three-year MOU with the BVSD
for the operation of the Summer Learning Aftercare Program.

BACKGROUND:
The department’s Youth Services Initiative (YSI) receives a large subsidy based on
department alignment with service categorization to focus on community priorities and
removal of participation barriers. To increase the service reach of the program and in
conjunction with Master Plan goals, last year the YSI program piloted a one-year

AGENDA ITEM #___VI-B___PAGE___1____


operations and coordination agreement in partnership with the BVSD’s Summer Learning
Aftercare Program at two BVSD school locations.

This program aligns with the department’s Master Plan goals in the following ways:

1. Explores community building and partnerships to enhance program sustainability;


2. Provides community health and wellness benefits encouraging opportunities for
physical activity and social interaction;
3. Actively engages youth with places, facilities and programs; and
4. Enhances intentional use of subsidy in community programming in favor of
introductory and inclusive instruction contributions to the health and wellbeing of
a broader segment of the community.

Participation in the Summer Learning and YSI Aftercare Programs require one or more
of the following:

• Participant is eligible for BVSD free or reduced lunch;


• Participant scores below current grade level in reading; or
• Participant’s primary language is not English.

In 2015, YSI adopted the Sports Physical Activity and Recreation for Kids (SPARK)
model as an evidence-based physical activity and nutrition program. SPARK focuses on
the development of healthy lifestyles, motor skills, movement knowledge and social and
personal skills. YSI’s aftercare programming integrates the SPARK program into the
daily activities of the Summer Learning experience.

The goals of the SPARK program are to enhance participants:

• Enjoyment of physical activity;


• Development and maintenance of acceptable levels of physical fitness;
• Development of a variety of basic movement and manipulative skills so they will
experience success and feel comfortable during physical activity; and
• Development of the ability to get along with others in movement environments
(e.g., share space and equipment, employ the “golden rule” of competition – be a
good sport, and demonstrate cooperative behavior).
The YSI’s summer program’s reach increased from 100 youth participants to over 240
during the 2017 pilot. This success is a result of the collaborative efforts with BVSD,
Boulder Housing Partners and I Have a Dream Boulder County. Due to the success of the
2017 pilot program staff recommends that PRAB approve the MOU.

AGENDA ITEM #___VI-B___PAGE___2____


Suggested Motion Language:
Motion to approve the Memorandum of Understanding for Operations and Coordination
of BVSD’s Summer Learning Aftercare Programming between the City of Boulder Parks
and Recreation and Boulder Valley School District and authorize the City Manager to
make minor amendments prior to or during the term of this agreement in order to ensure
that programming is provided in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws and the
policies and regulations of the City of Boulder.

NEXT STEPS:
Staff will consider the PRAB and public’s feedback and make any necessary revisions to
the proposed agreement. If approved, staff will present the BVSD with a final version of
the MOU for an anticipated June 11, 2018 start date.

CITY OF BOULDER
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AGENDA ITEM

MEETING DATE: April 23, 2018

AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing and Consideration of a Motion to Approve an


Amendment to the Contract for Concession Services at Flatirons Golf Course

PRESENTERS:
Yvette Bowden, Director, Parks and Recreation
Alison Rhodes, Deputy Director, Parks and Recreation
Margo Josephs, Manager of Community Outreach and Partnerships
Keith Williams, Regional Facilities Manager

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This item seeks the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board’s (PRAB) review and
considered approval of an amendment to the March 6, 2016 contract between the
department and the Flatirons Golf Course existing concessionaire facilitating continued
food and beverage offerings for golf course visitors.

The term of this amendment extends the relationship beyond one-year, thereby requiring
PRAB approval, and would:

• Allow for uninterrupted concession services provision through the 2019 golf
season to coincide with the department’s continued planning for future site
improvements; and
• Allow the existing concessionaire, Three Worn Keys LLC, to pursue a timely
renewal application of their current alcohol licensure at this facility.

BACKGROUND:
Originally commissioned by the Boulder Country Club, the original Flatirons Golf
Course was located at 28th and Iris. In 1933, as partially funded by then-President
Roosevelt’s WPA (Works Progress Administration) program, the club relocated to the
5706 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder, Colorado 80303 location. The department has operated
Flatirons Golf Course as the City of Boulder’s only municipally-owned and operated
public golf course since 1986.

As an ancillary use, course visitors have enjoyed on-site concessions for many years.
Prior provision included access to an informal snack location (hereinafter, the “Grill”)

AGENDA ITEM #___VI-B___PAGE___1____


and to the site’s Events Center, a building severely damaged by the 2013 flood and
thereafter decommissioned. In 2016, the department’s contracted Grill concessions
vendor decided to end its operation at the location, and the department sought an interim
vendor to ensure continued customer access for food and beverages for that season.
Three Worn Keys LLC, a Colorado-based food and beverage concession services entity
(“Contractor”), expressed interest in the opportunity. Subsequent contracting with the
City allowed the Contractor to pursue and be awarded transfer of the prior vendor’s site-
based alcohol licensure in 2016. Since that time, the Contractor has provided an array of
affordably-priced food and beverage offerings to visitors and has complied with all
requirements of the contract and their business and alcohol licensures.

In 2018, the department completed interim capital improvements on-site, enhancing


Flatirons Grill for course visitors. The Contractor has expressed interest in continued
operation of a concession on the premises, and a good faith negotiation has concluded in
the presentation of the attached Amendment to Contract for Concession Services
(Attachment A).

COUNCIL FILTER IMPACTS


Environmental:
Under the proposed amendment, the Contractor would align with City Zero Waste
practices.

OTHER IMPACTS:
Fiscal:
The agreement proposes monthly rent payments made by the Contractor for the duration
of the 17-month term extension period which amount includes utility-related expenses.
Staff time:
Existing staff will manage all aspects of this License Agreement’s City responsibilities.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Suggested Motion Language:


Staff requests PRAB’s consideration of this matter and action in the form of the
following motion:

Motion to approve the Amendment to Contract for Concession Services at Flatirons Golf
Course dated March 6th, 2016 and authorize the City Manager to make minor
amendments prior to or during the term of this agreement in order to ensure that the
concession is managed in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws and the
policies and regulations of the City of Boulder.

NEXT STEPS:
Staff will consider the PRAB and public’s feedback and make any necessary revisions to
the proposed agreement. If approved, staff will present the amendment for City Manager
approval and continue operations with the Contractor as codified. Consideration of a

AGENDA TITLE: 2019-2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)

PRESENTERS:
Yvette Bowden, Director, Parks and Recreation
Alison Rhodes, Deputy Director, Parks and Recreation
Jeff Haley, Planning, Design and Community Engagement Manager
Brenda Richey, Business Services Manager

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this agenda item is for the Parks and Recreation Department (department)
to review the current 2018-2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and to initiate
discussion of the 2019 – 2024 CIP process. At this time, the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board (PRAB) will have an opportunity to ask questions and provide comments
on the current CIP projects and upcoming process. The Board’s input is essential
throughout the capital budget process as the PRAB’s role is to provide a formal
recommendation of the CIP, including the appropriation of the Permanent Parks and
Recreation Fund. Once approved by the PRAB, the department’s CIP will then be
submitted to the Planning Board and City Council for review and respective
considerations and approvals.

IMPACTS
Fiscal: $13.3M. This amount reflects the total uses of funds currently budgeted for 2018
in the Permanent Parks and Recreation (Fund 230), .25 Cent Sales Taxes (Fund 118),
Development Impact Fees and Lottery (Fund 111) funds as projected to the PRAB in the
2018 CIP. The total portfolio of assets managed by the department has an estimated
Current Replacement Value (CRV) of $215 million and the 2018 CIP represents an
annual investment of $13.3M. The facility portfolio represents a significant investment in
public infrastructure, and as such, is critical to the execution of our mission to provide
quality park and recreation facilities to the community.

PUBLIC FEEDBACK
This item is intended to provide the PRAB with information related to the CIP
definitions/criteria found in Attachment A (CIP Process and Methodology), preliminary
projects, prioritization and linkage to the updated master plan as it relates to the 2019 –
2024 CIP. A CIP discussion with the PRAB is scheduled for the May regular meeting and
a follow-up formal PRAB public hearing is scheduled for June. At that time, the public
will have the opportunity to comment on the proposed 2019-2024 CIP. The public will
AGENDA ITEM VII-A, PAGE 1
also have an opportunity to comment during the Planning Board’s CIP review in July and
City Council’s discussions and review of the 2019 recommended budget during future
public hearings in fall 2018. Additional public engagement will continue to be solicited
for the individual projects identified for improvements as part of the master plan goals.

BACKGROUND
CIP Process
The CIP is how the city manages its assets and implements capital projects that are
chosen by residents through their elected representatives, City Council with
recommendations from advisory boards. The department budget is formulated within the
context of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan (MP) that was adopted by the PRAB and
accepted by City Council in February 2014. The CIP is developed in support of
achieving the MP goals. The MP included several significant strategies and action items
that will guide future capital investments for the department. These include:

Reinvestment of Debt Fund- In 2015 the department retired debt from the .25 Sales Tax
Funds that was used to finance major facility repairs and upgrades. These funds total
approximately $2 million per year and are now available to augment capital repairs and
maintenance, enhance O&M services, and/or shift program services and are available on
an annual basis through 2035.

Focus on “Taking Care of What We Have” – With over $215 million in current
replacement value (CRV) of built assets and a current projected backlog of $16 million
the community expressed a clear intent to spend priority funds on maintaining and
enhancing existing park and recreation facilities to a high standard 1. The city’s desired
Facility Condition Index (FCI) is .05 to .06 and the current backlog of department assets
is a projected FCI of .08 (FCI equals total estimated backlog of repairs divided by total
CRV). The department’s master plan outlines an FCI goal of .07 to ensure the assets are
in a safe and acceptable standard for public use. Throughout the past four years since the
MP acceptance, the department has been able to reduce the FCI by completing major
projects such as the Civic Area redevelopment, many neighborhood park renovations,
athletic field upgrades and improvements to the regional facilities such as the Flatirons
Golf Course. The upcoming renovations to the Scott Carpenter Pool and Boulder
Reservoir Visitor’s Center will allow the department to continue lowering the FCI.

Total Cost of Facility Ownership (TCFO) – The master plan also recommends that
proposed development of any new park and facility assets shall be evaluated through a
feasibility study that includes a needs assessment, user profile, projected participation
analysis, development funding method, life cycle cost pro forma and alternative
development trade-off analysis. This move toward life cycle management of assets using
a concept called the Total Cost of Facility Ownership or TCFO is at the heart of the
department’s effort to better manage assets through the Asset Management Program
(AMP). This approach frames agency asset management decisions in a framework of

‘cradle to grave’ consideration of how an asset is conceived of, designed, built, managed
and maintained, recapitalized and eventually disposed of as shown in Figure 1 (below).

Figure 1

Two areas of significant impact for both new and existing facilities is the desire to
allocate adequate funding to take care of the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) annual
costs and establishing a sinking fund to provide the anticipated Renovation and
Refurbishment (R&R) of facilities to maintain them at the desired standards intended of a
new facility. While the O&M and R&R vary depending on the type of facility and the
level of use, there are national standards that the department is reviewing to develop
recommendations for future investments. The estimated values of each of these
requirements are listed below:
• Operations and Maintenance (O&M) – This includes all activities required to
operate facilities and parks and is included in the operation budget of the
department. National standards indicate that approximately four percent of the
assets’ current replacement value is required to keep all system components open
and functioning at desired levels. With approximately $215 million in CRV, the
annual O&M should be approximately $8.4 million. The current expenditures for
O&M are approximately $8 million leaving a $400,000 shortfall based on those
estimates, which also do not consider Boulder’s unique sustainable practices such
as Integrated Pest Management. The department is currently evaluating all
outdoor operations for O&M functions through the General Maintenance and
Management Plan (GMMP). The department has also finalized the Facility
Strategic Plan that provides information on O&M for major recreation buildings.
The findings of these reports inform development of the department’s budget,
including operating and CIP expenses.

Capital Investment Strategic Plan – Working with the PRAB in 2015, staff developed a
comprehensive capital investment strategy (CIS) that outlines changing recreation uses
for existing facilities and development of new facilities is imperative to maintaining the
city’s status as an innovative service provider in the field of parks and recreation. To
prepare for and inform the CIS, the department has conducted several planning projects
AGENDA ITEM VII-A, PAGE 3
over the past few years as outlined in the MP. These studies are related to the larger goals
outlined in the master plan that would significantly replace existing aging facilities while
at the same time developing new facilities desired by the community.

These studies identified the investment level required to maintain and operate existing
facilities as well as provide cost estimates to build new facilities and/or replace aging
infrastructure as needed. The capital investment strategy (CIS) is needed to meet those
projects that are identified as critical public improvements needed over the next ten years
that are beyond existing financial resources. Sources of funds may include additional
long-term bonding, pay-as-you-go sales tax, private/public and public/public
partnerships, as well as opportunities for private investments for commercial rate
facilities and services.

To help inform the CIS, the PRAB participated in a voting exercise to help establish a
ranking and priority for the capital projects that are most needed and meet the largest
needs in the community to allow the department to continue the programs, services and
facilities that the community supports. These projects have ultimately become the
priority for future funding and demonstrated in Attachment D, CIS Overview.

PRAB’s Role
Once again, this year, staff is providing the PRAB with a “three touches” approach to
addressing CIP. These “touches” include: 1) the discussion item presented at this
meeting that will communicate process, policies and procedures and definitions/criteria
that guide the CIP development; 2) a discussion item presented at the May meeting to
review draft projects and prioritization as it relates to the 2019-24 CIP; and 3) a PRAB
public hearing to be held in June to consider motions approving and recommending the
Parks and Recreation Capital Improvement Program.

Budget and Current Funding Status

As illustrated in Table 1, the department’s 2018 CIP is funded primarily from the
Permanent Parks and Recreation Fund (Fund 230), .25 Cent Sales Tax Fund (Fund 118)
and Lottery Fund (Fund 111). Additional sources of funding that have limitations on the
type of capital investment that monies can be spent on and are not managed exclusively
by the department, include the Capital Development Fund (Fund 110), Boulder Junction
Improvement Fund (Fund 250) and Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 260).

The City of Boulder takes seriously its responsibility to the community as a steward of
public funds. This commitment requires ongoing analysis of expenditures, and
monitoring and evaluation of revenue. For example, staff monitors revenues to help
ensure the city uses ongoing revenue sources, such as taxes, to fund our ongoing work, of
delivering city services. This also limits one-time funding revenue to one-time
expenditures to ensure it can maintain core services without incurring operational
deficits.

Continual monitoring and prudent fiscal management have helped maintain the City of
Boulder’s strong financial position. For example, the city has a healthy reserve of funds
and a favorable bond rating and the city uses policies, fiscal tools and metrics to fund
efficient and effective delivery of city services while remaining resilient to changing
economic and environmental conditions.

However, to date, 2018 sales tax revenues to the city have not increased compared to
previous years, creating a projected General Fund shortfall of $4M in ongoing expenses
versus ongoing revenues. The shortfall applies to 2018 and has a compounding effect on
future years. The city’s analysis identified this as a potential issue last year, and now we
have a full year of data. This means that if we do not act now to reduce expenses, a

AGENDA ITEM VII-A, PAGE 5


budget shortfall will be more difficult to resolve. Sales and use taxes also provide
revenue to other funds, for example the Parks and Recreation .25 cent sales tax is also
impacted in this revenue situation.

The city is identifying options for reducing spending that make sense as a standard
practice for this fiscal environment. Directors are working with their departmental teams
and the Finance team to identify ways to reduce expenditures this year and to continue to
evaluate systemic, long-term changes to achieve greater efficiency. While there is a
current focus on funds receiving revenue from sales and use taxes, leaders are also
looking at their organization’s long-term fiscal sustainability, considering more systemic
changes for greater efficiency. Staff from departments that receive revenue from sales
and use taxes, including Public Works/Transportation, Parks and Recreation, and Open
Space, are also proactively managing their budgets.
The Finance team and other colleagues are working on a more complete analysis of the
current trends and reductions that could be implemented to address the 2018 budget
shortfall. This information will be discussed with the City Council at the April 24 study
session.
Currently, about twenty-five percent of the department’s capital is funded in the .25 cent
sales tax fund while the remainder is primarily funded by property tax via the Permanent
Parks and Recreation Fund. As additional information and guidance is available related to
revenue projections, the department’s budget development will align with updated
strategies. The PRAB will be informed and future touches will include updates as
appropriate.

2018 Budgeted CIP Projects

Attachment C (2018-2023 CIP Project Summary Sheet) is the currently approved CIP
and provides an overview of 2018 projects as well as planned priorities through 2023.
Staff will present a brief review of the projects during the regular meeting as well as
describe current updates that are under consideration for 2019 and beyond for the
PRAB’s review. The projects include:

1. Scott Carpenter Pool Development - $8.5M (+ $4.2M from CCS Tax 2017)
The project calls for demolition of the existing pool and bathhouse facilities that
are over 60 years old and beyond their life cycle. Staff recommends project
funding at the base needs level as approved by the PRAB in January 2017. This
project will replace the facility with a new ten-lane outdoor pool, bathhouse and
family leisure pool area. Funding is targeted for construction taking place in late
2018 pending final design and permitting.

2. Boulder Reservoir Enhancements - $3.4M


Since the PRAB approved the concept plan for the Visitor Services Center and
beach enhancements, the design and cost estimates have been updated and the
current funding supports only the base level of improvements. The allocated
AGENDA ITEM VII-A, PAGE 6
$3.4M will support the construction of a new restroom facility, administrative
functions, concessions area and some beach enhancements.

3. Valmont City Park Phase 2 - $3.5M – Development of new facilities south of


Valmont Road will include construction of an adventure play area, community
gathering facilities and pavilions, disc golf and pathway enhancements.

4. Neighborhood and Community Parks - $8.4M over six years


The focus on these projects is outdoor facilities including playgrounds, picnic
shelters, hard surface courts, plazas, pathways and parking areas that are most
associated with neighborhood and community parks. Specifically, in 2018, staff
will be focusing on:

Harlow Platts Disc Golf Replace all baskets on the course that are 26 years
Improvements old at the end of lifecycle with new ones in the
same location. Provide updated wayfinding and
rules signage throughout the park.
Coot Lake Restoration Complete the recent trail renovations with
necessary plantings and erosion control to stabilize
bank and close out wetland permitting
Sidewalk ADA Crack Concrete grinding at Foothills Community Park

5. Urban Forest Management (EAB Response) - $2.8M over six years
These funds will support the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) response plan and assist
in implementation of the urban forest management plan. The Urban Forestry
Division directly manages approximately 50,000 trees located in city parks and in
street rights-of-way with a total appraised value of over $110M. Urban forests are
a critical component of the urban green fabric and contribute to climate cooling as
well as a variety of environmental benefits.

6. Boulder Junction Park - $350K in 2018 for a total investment of $700K


The purpose of this project is to complete the improvements to the planned park
in Boulder Junction to support the multiple uses of Boulder’s new transit-oriented
development. This project will begin design in 2018 in conjunction with the
overall 30th and Pearl planning and likely move to construction in 2020.

Updates Considered For 2019-2024 CIP


The following updates to the CIP are under consideration and will be discussed through
the upcoming CIP process:

• Columbia Cemetery Capital Maintenance – Providimg funding for leveraging


external grants to repair and preserve headstone and grave markers as well as
maintenance to the historic gates and fencing.

• Flatirons Golf Course Enhancements – Providing funding to begin the design


and construction of a new club house and pro shop with restrooms to replace the
amenities that were demolished because of the 2013 flood.

• Boulder Reservoir South Shore Capital Enhancements – Implementing the


2012 Master Plan and recent facility assessments, this project will continue the
implementation of key improvements to the south shore recreation area. Funding
is planned through 2024 to continue key enhancement priorities that will be
determined through a site management plan that is currently underway and will be
complete in 2018.

• Recreation Facility Needs Assessment – Completion of a comprehensive needs


assessment of recreation facilities in the community to meet the current demand
of visitor use, address future trends in recreation and provide key
recommendations to align facilities and amenities with community needs.

CIP Process and Methodology

The city develops a CIP that addresses the ongoing major business needs and
maintenance and repair of city assets as well as enhancements and expansion called for in
the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP). The CIP is a strategic document that
assures that the municipal organization maintains a strong bond rating, implements
community values, and has fiscal integrity. This includes projects defined as any major
project with a cost greater than $50,000 for purchase or construction, or major
replacement of physical assets. CIP projects are potentially subject to a Community and
Environmental Assessment Process (CEAP) review that evaluates any potential
environmental, traffic or social impacts to Boulder residents, neighborhoods and
businesses. These projects are budgeted within the framework of the City of Boulder’s
CIP Budget. CIP projects are categorized as:

• Capital Enhancement
o Expansion or significant improvement of an existing asset
o Repair damage to existing infrastructure
o Enhancement results in a durable, long lasting asset, with a useful life of at
least 15 years

• Capital Maintenance
o Renovate, repair, or replace an existing asset
o Enhancement results in a durable, long lasting asset, with an extended
useful life of at least five years

• Capital Planning Studies

• Land and Asset Acquisition

• New Capital Project


o Construction or acquisition of a new asset
o Expanded square footage of an existing asset with associated new use
o Project results in a durable, long lasting asset, with a useful life of at least
15 years

• Transfers

CIP Guiding Principles


The city and department prioritize investments both across and within funds based on the
following guiding principles:

1. Capital improvements should be consistent with and implement Council accepted


master plans and strategic plans.

1
2. Capital improvements should achieve Community Sustainability Goals:
a. Environmental – sustainable materials, construction practices, renewable
resources, etc.
b. Social – enhancements that improve accessibility to city services and
resources provided to the community
c. Economic – effective and efficient use of public funds across the
community.

3. As potential capital investments are identified, the city must demonstrate in the
CIP process that there are sufficient funds to operate and maintain the project or
program. This approach adopted by BPRD is reflected in the Total Cost of
Facility Operations (TCFO) policy of the department.

4. The CIP should provide enough capacity and flexibility in long-term planning to
be able to respond to emerging, unanticipated needs.

5. The CIP should maintain and enhance the supporting city-wide “business
systems”, such as information and finance systems, for the city over the long
term.

6. The CIP should sustain or improve maintenance of existing assets before


investing in new assets.

7. Capital improvements should:


a. Meet legal mandates from federal, state, or city levels;
b. Maintain or improve public safety and security;
c. Leverage external investments;
d. Promote community partnerships; and
e. Reduce operating costs and improve efficiency.

8. Capital programming should maximize efficiency of investments demonstrated by


measurable cost/benefit analyses and coordination of projects across departments
within and across funds.

9. The CIP should provide sufficient reserves to allow for a sound fiscal foundation
with benefits that include:
a. A strong bond rating; and
b. The ability to address emergencies and natural disasters.

To plan and prioritize capital investments, department staff applies specific guiding
principles based on the city’s CIP Guiding Principles and the department’s master plan
goals. The following departmental framework is also utilized to determine and plan CIP
projects and make budget decisions that are sustainable over time. These priorities are
also focused on maintaining the integrity of the current infrastructure and facilities before
expanding and/or enhancing programs and facilities.

2
1. Safety/Compliance (S) – Projects represent important deficiencies and are
essential safety and compliance concerns. Projects may include ongoing
infrastructure repairs, replacements and/or refurbishments of park play equipment
and amenities, irrigation systems, landscape and turf upgrades and facility
improvements. Compliance considerations also include meeting local, state and
federal requirements that are required to be completed to comply with specific
regulations, such as city ‘dark sky’ lighting ordinance and the Americans With
Disabilities Act (ADA).

2. Commitment (C) – Projects that are required by law/ballot (e.g., Elks Park), are
in-process of development (e.g., Valmont Community Park), as part of a prior
development agreement, are recommended as part of the department master plan
(e.g., playground and irrigation system renovations) and/or are required to be
completed within a specific period.

3. Efficiencies (E) – The department will consistently seek efficiency improvements


in both operational and capital investments. Projects will represent important
operational and/or maintenance efficiencies resulting in improved life cycles, cost
efficiencies and savings in resources, energy or water usage (e.g., Flatirons Golf
Course irrigation system replacement, computerized irrigation system).

4. Revenue (R) – The department will invest in facilities and programs that generate
revenues to support valued recreational opportunities in the Boulder community.
Projects will enhance the department's ability to earn more revenue after initial
investment and operational costs are considered (e.g. Flatirons Golf Course
playability enhancements) and/or possible collaboration/partnerships leveraging
outside funding sources.
