Project Background

 

Currently, City staff hauls tree limbs to the corporate yard, offload them and then put them in a 40 yard bin for Rio Vista Sanitation to haul to the dump.  The purchase of a commercial grade wood chipper improve maintenance efficiency and save the City a significant amount of money in contractor and disposal costs. 

 

Project Objectives

 

By using a chipper, the wood chips can be used for Main Street planter areas and for weed control on road edges and areas near the airport.

 

 

 Existing Condition

 

No equipment is available.  Currently, we contract out the chipping work.

 

 Fiscal Implications

 

The cost savings in garbage disposal costs, contractor costs and purchase of mulch material will quickly exceed the cost of this equipment.

LEAD Technologies Inc. V1.01

 

 

 

Project Justification 

 

With the current way of utilizing our staff manpower, it is not cost efficient.  Staff needs to make several trips to load, unload, and then return to the job site do the task over again.  It is an intensive time consuming process. 

 

Based upon discussions with the Valby Sales Office, their equipment has a very long useful life; some chipper still in use are 25 years old.  The only maintenance is sharpening and replacing the blades.

 

 

Comments

 

The wood chipper cost estimate is based on the purchase of a Valby CH222HF Woodchipper (tractor not included).  This is the same type of equipment the State of Virginia uses.   

The manufacturerÕs description is as follows[1]:

A Chipper for Highway Departments

The Valby CH 222 woodchipper is designed for efficient and safe disposal of stems, branches and bushes along roadsides.  The chips can be blown into a truck or back to the roadside.

The chipper is fed from the right side so the feed is close to the material to be chipped.  The operator stands on the road, away from the ditch and the traffic.  The feed chute does not stick outside the width of the tractor.   The tractor can therefore be driven safely on the right side of the road without risk of the feed chute hitting road signs or railings.

The aggressive power feed makes the CH 222HF also the perfect machine for Christmas tree disposal.

A Chipper For Orchards

The Valby CH 222HF is easy to use in orchards.  It can not be maneuvered between narrow rows as the feed nor do the discharge chutes stick out beyond the width of the tractor.

Project Background

In the past, the City of Rio Vista has used a number of devices for communication purposes.  Pagers have been used by the Fire Department to alert the firefighters when there is an emergency call.  Portable radios have been used by the Fire Department and Police Department as one of their main sources of communication between their dispatch center, other agencies and themselves during an emergency situation, and Nextel cellular phones have become one of the main communication sources between departments on a daily basis during work hours and after work hours.

 

 

Project Objectives

Improve communication by updating all communication devices used by the City and begin implementation of a citywide replacement program.

 

 

Existing Condition

Currently, the City does not have a replacement program for pagers, portable radios or cellular phones.  Each budget year, Department Heads try and replace what they can by purchasing a couple portables, a couple pagers or piecing together what they can until the following year when they can purchase a couple more.

 

Life expectancy is approximately two years and with the ever-changing technology, a replacement program is vital.  

 

 

Fiscal Implications

Nextel – Increase to each Department by the following:  Administration $4950, Community Development $1200, Finance $600, Fire $1650, Police $2600, Public Works $3500 over five years.

 

Portable radios – Increase Police Department by $27,000, Fire Department by $23,400 over five years.

 

Pagers – Increase Fire Department by $18,000 over five years.

Project Background

 

When the Eden Systems accounting software package was initially purchased, we received five user licenses. 

 

 

Project Objectives

 

To increase the number of user licenses for Eden Systems accounting system software package so that Directors can review their budgets online.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

The five licenses that we currently have are not user specific.  Therefore, at any given time, there can be up to five people using the software. 

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The cost of a single user license is $2,000.  By spreading the cost over five years we greatly reduce the fiscal impact of this outlay.  The largest hit is anticipated in 2006/2007.  This is the year that we anticipate the largest need for additional licenses.  By this time the Police Department, Fire Department and new Public Works facility should be connected to the network at City Hall via fiber optic lines.  Once they are connected and the software is fully implemented, we will need additional licenses to provide access to Eden for those departments.

Project Justification

Over the next five years the City of Rio Vista is projected to experience rapid growth.  This growth will create the need for additional staffing.  The additional staffing will create the need for more user licenses for the system.  Additionally, it is anticipated that once the system is fully implemented, and the remote locations are linked to City Hall via the cable optic fiber lines, each Department Head should have access to the software to prepare their annual budgets and to monitor their expenses throughout the year.  Furthermore, when the Parcels and Permits module goes live, the Community Development Department will need to have constant access to the program. 

 

Each single user license costs $2,000.  It is anticipated that we will need an additional license as soon as the Parcels and Permits module goes live.  We are targeting July 2005 as the implementation period for that module. 

 

By 2006/2007 we should have the remaining modules up and running.  At that time we may wish to purchase the additional licenses for the Department Heads. 

 

Additional licenses to be purchased after that time will be driven by need, due to the population expansion of the City.

Project Background

In December of 2002 the City of Rio Vista entered into an agreement with Eden Systems for the conversion of the CityÕs financial accounting software package from the antiquated IBM AS400 to the state of the art Eden Systems, Inforum Gold package.  The conversion was to take place in phases.  This phasing of modules was designed to afford the City continuity of workflow.  Because the City was utilizing a separate software program to manage permits (BS&A), the Parcels and Permits module of the Eden package was scheduled to be one of the last modules to implement. 

 

 

 

Project Objectives

The objective is to replace the existing BS&A software with the Eden Systems Parcels and Permits module.

 

Existing Condition

The BS&A program currently being used for Permit management, does not interface with our accounting software.  Therefore, all charges for permits have to be manually entered into the Eden accounting software. 

 

When the conversion to the new module is complete, the system will automatically generate and post the entries necessary when permits are issued and payment is received, thereby reducing the amount of manual labor required to perform these functions. 

 

Fiscal Implications

The City entered into a lease agreement with Koch Financial to fund the entire conversion to the new system.  Under the lease agreement, the City makes regular principal and interest payments to Koch Financial, for the entire cost of the package.  As the City incurs expenses the bills are paid and are submitted to Koch Financial for reimbursement.  As such, there is a secured funding source for this item.

Project Objectives

The objective is to replace the existing Fund Balance software with the Eden Systems Utility Billing module.

 

Existing Condition

The Fund Balance program, which is currently being used for Utility Billing, does not interface with our accounting software.  Therefore, all billings and receipts have to be manually entered into the Eden accounting software.

Project Background

In December 2004 the City executed a Cable Television Franchise Renewal Agreement with Comcast.  Exhibit F to the agreement provided the City an opportunity to work with Comcast to design and install a fiber optic institutional network at a discounted rate.  This agreement went before council and a resolution was passed accepting ComcastÕs bid for the fiber optic institutional network at City Hall, the building adjacent to City Hall, the Fire and Police Stations, the NWWWTP and the new Public Works Facility.

 

Project Objectives

The fiber optic network would allow all City Departments to connect to each other through the same network, allowing all departments to utilize the same software.  This would allow for all departments to access Eden Systems and track their budget through out the year.  It would also allow all departments to be in contact with each other using the same phone system.  Since the fiber would be dedicated only to the City, there would also be an increase in the security of the information that we share between departments.

 

Existing Condition

Currently every department is not connected to each other.  City Hall is the headquarters for the network and can access all needed information but all the other departments have to dial into the network for their e-mail.  This also makes the network software non-accessible to these departments.  The new phone system implemented at City Hall is network based and can only be used within City Hall.  Other departments have their own phone lines and cannot connect to extensions outside of their department.  Departments outside of City Hall are also forced to rely on the Finance Department to supply current budget information for the managers to track due to the inability to access the accounting software, Eden Systems from their locations.

 

Fiscal Implications

The City was given the opportunity to complete this project, in joint efforts with ComcastÕs new cabling project.  This joint effort resulted in a significant cost savings to the City.  There is also a financing option that has been built into the Franchise Renewal Agreement that allows the City to have Comcast Finance 50% of the installation cost for 7 years with an interest rate of 5% per year.  Repayment for the financing would then be taken out of the franchise fees that are received from Comcast.  City Council has asked that financing options be taken back to them for a decision on how they would like to pay for the network installation but that has not occurred yet.  It is also the intentions of the City to ask the developers to pay for the cost of installing the fiber out to the NWWWTP and new public works facility.

Project Background

 

The fire department needs fixed radios on all apparatus as well as portable radios.  It is important to have both types of radios so firefighters going into a fire have their radio and the fire captain on the scene and not fighting the fire has a fixed mount radio. 

 

 

 

 

Project Objectives

 

To provide fixed, mount and portable radios on each apparatus and fire vehicle.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

The department currently does not have a sufficient number of radios and the radios it has are approximately 18 years old, they malfunction often, and 80% do not have an adequate number of frequencies within the City and for mutual aid.  Currently there are only fixed mount radios on the apparatus and portables in only half.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

This is not a recurring expense.  The useful life for these radios is approximately 5- 8 years.  Additional radios will be needed as new vehicles and apparatus are added to the fleet.

Project Background

 

The Fire and Police Departments do not currently have any emergency response maps, which causes delays in response time to service calls.  Emergency Response Maps are a basic need for all fire and police departments and is becoming increasingly more important as the City grows and new public safety personnel are hired.

 

 

Project Objectives

 

Provide GIS Emergency Response Maps for all police and fire vehicles, fire apparatus, and for the fire station and the police department administration building.  This map acquisition will be phased to expedite the process and lower costs.  The departments will first purchase hard copies of the GIS maps and then purchase Lynx Technology GIS software to generate and update the emergency response maps.  Software updates will also need to be maintained.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

The Fire and Police Department do not currently have any emergency response maps.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

During the 05/06 fiscal year, hard copies of the maps will be purchased to provide an immediate solution to acquiring this essential resource.  During the 06/07 fiscal year, the City should purchase GIS software and update the data regularly.  The costs will be shared by the Police and Fire Departments.  Grant funds may be available to assist the City in implementing this program.

Project Background

 

The City advertises and hires employees through advertising and posting of notices.  When the employee begins the testing process, a paper trail is generated.  The City is responsible for tracking of employees from the application all the way through to separation from service.  The paperwork is maintained by the City Clerk.

 

Project Objectives

 

The project objective is to implement a comprehensive tracking process for employee data and to generate a variety of regulatory reports such as OSHA, FMLA and EEOC reporting.  To have comprehensive employee records that would enable the City to store all employee information, including promotions, transfers and terminations in one location.  This project would integrate with the EDEN payroll module. 

 

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Currently there is no software for tracking systems of any kind related to human resources.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

There are several personnel applications through Eden Systems.  The following is a breakdown of each application.

 

Applicant tracking                                           $5,900.

Employee tracking                                        $10,400.

Human Resources                                       $12,100.

Web extension for applicant tracking             $2,350.

Web extension for employee training             $1,675.

Web extension for Human Resources           $2,350.

 

To purchase all of the software and web extensions it would cost $34,775.

Project Background

 

The City does not currently utilize a system to determine which roads should be repaired in what years. The City must track the condition of its paved roadways in order to schedule timely maintenance and repairs and to establish a systematic method of identifying which roads have a greater need for maintenance. 

 

Project Objectives

 

The objective is to be proactive in the maintenance and repair of damaged and deteriorating roadways. 

 

Existing Condition

 

Currently, most roads in the City are damaged and deteriorated and staff does not have a means of identifying progressive deterioration of the pavements early enough to perform required maintenance and project costs.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

Implementation of this software program is funded through a PTAP grant.

Project Justification

 

In order to effectively manage the CityÕs roadway maintenance, a system must be in place to assist in the process.  It is not cost efficient for staff to manually track road maintenance.  Implementation of a Pavement Management System Software will use industry based standards for developing a plan for and prioritize the repair of all of the streets in the City.  Use of this system allows staff to develop better budgets for street maintenance and provides objectivity in selecting which streets will be maintained in which year.

Project Background

 

Call volume has increased over the past ten years.  As a result, it is becoming more imperative for responding units to have less verbal interface with dispatchers.  Computer aided dispatching, specifically laptops for emergency apparatus, can greatly reduce the amount of verbal air time, and provide for important data in the field.

 

 

Project Objectives

 

Purchase laptop computers and related CAD interface data for the fire engines, and command vehicles.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

All personnel must currently use verbal method of communicating all information to the dispatch center.  This can take up valuable radio air time.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

Due to the ongoing updates to laptop computers and related software, it is recommended that this be placed on a replacement schedule.

Project Background

The current phone system was donated to the City of Rio Vista from Chevron many years ago.  The phone system has begun to have system failures.  Currently the voice mail portion of the system is no longer functional and there are many phone calls that do not reach City Hall.  There is no guarantee how much longer the phone system will be operational.  The phone system is also tied into the SCADA system.  The City Council approved the expenditure in an amount not to exceed $30,000 on December 16, 2004, to replace the entire phone system.  The phone system that has been selected is a 3COM phone system that will allow users to pick up lines from any location, transfer calls to any phone number and includes a mailbox attendant and voice mail.  By adding a T1 line, the City could also add direct dial access to their end users.

 

Project Objectives

To have a phone system that meets the current needs, functions with minimal problems, and is scalable.

 

 

Existing Condition

The current system is failing. 

 

 

Fiscal Implications

This project will be paid through the information technology budget (010-0100-0136-7380 – Hardware).  The expenses will include the phones and additional cabling in an amount not to exceed $30,000.

Project Background

Technology changes fast and it is necessary to be current with technology in order to perform our jobs properly.    

 

Project Objectives

Replace and upgrade all City computers to keep up with the fast changing technology.  The replacement of computers every three years would be ideal.  The City would be split into three sections and one-third of the computers would be replaced each year.  A City-Wide standard also needs to be developed to include basic computer needs and specialized needs for departments.

 

 

Existing Condition

Currently the computers are replaced when they are completely non-functional.  This hampers the production of work and delays can occur due to the lack of technology resources.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

The fiscal impact will vary depending on if the Citrix project is approved and funded.  The prices below are based on Citrix not being approved.  There will be an annual cost to replace one-third of all City computers and upgrade the other two-thirds.

Project Background

 

The city currently uses Nextel cell phones to communicate; however, during a natural disaster or large scale emergency, cell phones and radios typically do not function or function poorly.  During the Katrina Hurricane disaster many public safety personnel had to resort to using ÒrunnersÓ to deliver messages to other people.  Satellite phones work when cell phones and radios donÕt.

 

Project Objectives

 

Purchase and maintain three (3) satellite phone for use during emergencies.

 

Existing Condition

 

In the event that cell phones were not functioning, the staff could not coordinate a emergency response effectively.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

There is an ongoing service cost for the satellite phones.  The Technology fund and/or grant funds are potential funding sources.

This presents problems as some staff who are using the older versions do not have the same functionality as those with the newer versions, which reduces interdepartmental communication and requires more staff time to make edits to hard copies of documents and requiring other departments with the newer versions to complete the edits.  Also, as software programs become antiquated, they are slower and have less updates to maintain functionality, resulting in increased staff time to complete tasks.

Project Background

 

When doing an audit on City computers it was determined that inappropriate sites were being visited.  When we changed over to our in-house email server, we lost our spam control and have been inundated with spam.

 

 

Project Objectives

 

The objectives of this project are to reduce the amount of spam that is received via email and to remove access to inappropriate websites.  This project will allow the City to put time controls on how long any given employee can be on the Internet as well as what sites are accessible.  This is done on a user-by-user basis.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Currently there are no controls on what websites are visited by employees or the length of time the employee is on the Internet.  There is currently no Anti-Spam software on the servers blocking those types of messages.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

There will an initial cost of $12,074. that includes three years an Anti-Spam Agent (ASA) for fifty users.  There will then be an annual cost for the ASA.

Project Background

The City has historically used a standard allocation method to allocate payroll costs to the respective projects, departments and funds. 

 

Project Objectives

The City would be better served by using a time management software package which results in direct allocation of staff time. 

 

Existing Condition

Under the standard allocation method, the Department Head evaluates each employee in their Department and estimates how much time each employee spends on each project, in each department and codes that percentage to the related fund, department and project.  This results in a standard allocation plan that is used throughout the year to allocate payroll.  The allocation plan is updated annually, which may or may not reflect the changing demands upon staff. 

 

Currently employees are only required to submit timesheets which reflect their total hours worked, and do not include specifics about what they were working on.  While each department submits a weekly accomplishments report, there isnÕt a procedure in place to monitor the activities of a specific employee on a regular basis. 

 

Fiscal Implications

The anticipated cost of the software is approximately $5,000.  Use of the software could result in significant cost recovery from the developers or other parties from whom we can seek reimbursement for staff time.  Additionally, by accurately recording staff time, we may be able to recover more funds through grants and other funding sources, than would have been recoverable under the standard allocation method, as more payroll dollars may be allocated to an area subject to reimbursement.

Project Background

In 2003 the tape recording machine that was used to record City meetings broke.  In order to have a recording of City meetings, it is necessary to have some type of recording device.  The project that is being proposed will not only have the capability of digitally recording the meetings, it will also serve as an on-line archival system of all agendas, minutes, staff reports and the actual video of the meetings.

 

 

Project Objectives

This project will provide live streaming as well as archival of City meetings.  This will provide better customer service to our residents who do not have access to Channel 8.

 

 

Existing Condition

Currently there is no streaming or digital archival of City meetings; the only archival is on paper.  There is no recording device being used. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fiscal Implications

This project will have an initial cost for hardware and software and an on-going cost for maintenance.  The initial hardware and software costs are $15,655.00.  The annual cost for maintenance is $9,000.  In fiscal year 2004/2005 Comcast gave $30,000 to the City to redo the Video Recording and Broadcast equipment in City Hall.

Project Background

The website was developed six years ago by City staff.  Prior to that, the City did not have a site.  The site is currently used to inform the public and other governmental agencies about what is taking place in Rio Vista.  Some City forms are available on-line as well as the CityÕs employment application. 

 

 

Project Objectives

Outsource the updating and redesign of the CityÕs website.  Part of the update would be to create drop down boxes and to include as many City forms as possible.  This will increase and improve customer service.

 

 

Existing Condition

Currently Community Development updates their department pages, Administration updates the personnel page and the City Clerk is responsible for the remainder of the pages.  The departments must supply the City Clerk with information that they would like to see on their pages.  The CityÕs website does not represent current information because staff does not have the time to properly maintain the data for the website.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

This would cause an increase to the budget of approximately $30,000

Project Background

 

During life and death situations AEDs at the scene increase the survival rate by as much as 80%; much higher than the manual CPR survival rate.  Many government building now have these devices, because during a cardiac event, immediate response has the greatest success versus waiting for emergency services to arrive on the scene.  Employees would be regularly trained on using these devices.

 

Project Objectives

 

Purchase (7) AEDs for public buildings (City Hall, Pool, Library, Police Dept., Fire Dept., Youth Center, and Senior Center) and purchase 5 portable AED for police vehicles and 5 for Fire Department vehicles.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

The City does not have any of these devices in the City or in the public safety vehicles.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The cost of this equipment is $2,000 each and has a life expectancy of 10 years.  AEDs will also require annual servicing to ensure everything is functioning properly.  It is not known what the service costs will be, if any.

Project Justification

 

Often the first people at the scene of a cardiac event are untrained and helpless.  Providing AEDs in all public buildings in and in police and fire vehicles, and training all city employees to use AEDs will increase the chance of survival heart attack victims by providing emergency services immediately when the event occurs in a public building.

 

 

Comments

 

Considering the fact that a very high percentage of the population of Rio Vista are seniors, it is especially important to have AEDs in public buildings and public safety vehicles.

 

This is a high priority.

Project Background

The Department of Water Resources and Bay-Delta Consortium have spent several years reviewing plans for new Field Research Station to support ongoing scientific work about the quality of water and aquatic life in the Delta & San Francisco Bay estuaries.  The Department of Water Resources (DWR) has programmed the construction of a $25 million facility that may be constructed on the 29-acre former Army Base property on Sacramento River. 

 

 

 

Project Objectives

 

Redevelop 8-10 acres of the riverfront site for new research campus with shoreline access, marina and boat launch.  Negotiate long-term ground lease with a private developer for the Department of Water Resources, Department of Fish and Game, and other related organizations. Upon completion this project would relocate up to 200 professional and scientific jobs to Rio Vista.

 

Existing Condition

 

Existing infrastructure and utility systems at the property are outdated and will require combination of demolition and rebuilding to accommodate a modern 115,000 square foot research/office building at a campus setting on the riverfront. Water, sewer, electric, natural gas and roadways are available to the base property from existing sources in town. Shoreline protection and roadway access will be addressed as part of redevelopment plans.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

No funds are currently available for these improvements.  Some, or all of the project costs to be included in private development of the site. 

 

Cost Estimates Updated:                                                        Hard Costs:

                        Marina, Boat Ramp & Shoreline                                  $1,600,000

                        Site, Demolition & Infrastructure Upgrades                $1,300,000

á       Long-term redevelopment of recently acquired army base property for public purposes

á       Diversify Rio Vista economy and tax base

á       Improve vacant and deteriorating real estate asset

 

Comments

State of California, Department of Water Resources, and State Water Contractors largely drive this project.  Issues of project funding are still being resolved at agency level.  Draft DWR/DGS timeline now estimates construction for early 2007 – early 2009.

 

City hopes to secure a long-term ground lease commitment on 8-10 acres for research center.  Private investment can return property tax revenue.  Upon annexation, City may want to expand RDA to include former Army Base property.

Project Background

 

A new City civic complex consisting of City Hall (expansion or a new building), senior/community/sports center replacing and expanding the existing facilities (Youth Center, Senior Center) and adding community meeting and event space.  To relocate current boat launch to Army Base; utilize launch parking lot and existing senior center building land for complex.

 

Project Objectives

 

To provide adequate community facilities in a Civic Center setting within downtown as called for by the 2001 General Plan.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Current City government offices and senior center facilities at Main Street will not accommodate future growth. City Hall Remodel project will allow for some growth for that facility, but will not allow expansion of senior/community facilities to keep up with new residential growth which will occur in the 2 to five year period. Both the Senior Center and Youth Center buildings are obsolete and inadequate for future needs.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

GoodwinÕs facilities comparison study prepared in June 2004 recommends combining the Community/Senior and possibly also the Recreation Center listed in the 2003 Interim Municipal Facilities Fee into one or two buildings totaling approximately 15,000 – 20,000 square feet and costing up to $250/sq. ft., or $3.75 million to $5 million.  The interim development fee structure includes approximately 3.62 million for these facilities. The Goodwin report found that the interim fee structureÕs assumption of an 11,000 sq. ft. expansion of City Hall and a cost of $2.8 million were reasonable, although timing and phasing is not discussed.  Need to assess and program facilities; Civic Center and Municipal Facilities ÒMaster Plan(s)Ó needed.

Comments

 

The General Plan called for a ÒCivic Center Master PlanÓ to be conducted to assess the programming and planning of these facilities. This should be expanded into a ÒMunicipal Facilities Master PlanÓ that would address all of the facilities and equipment necessary to accommodate future growth – Police and Fire stations, fire equipment, swimming pool(s), corporation yard and public works facility, library and miscellaneous items.

Project Background

 

The City Library was built 10 years ago and is only 5,288 square feet in size. When it was originally constructed it was only 2,000 square feet, but realizing the City would be growing quickly and would need a larger local library.  A new design to expand the building to 10,000 square feet has been created, but the expansion remains to be completed.  The CityÕs population has now grown to more than 6,000 and is projected to continue to grow to approximately 22,000 within the next 15 year.

 

Project Objectives

 

Expand the library to meet the growing needs of the community.

 

Existing Condition

 

The library is currently 5,288 square feet and will not accommodate the needs of this growing community.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

Potential funding sources to complete this expansion are the CityÕs General Fund, Developer Fees, and Grant Funds.

Project Background

 

Currently, City facilities do not have restricted entry devices, which allow unauthorized entry to government buildings, critical infrastructure, and potential access to classified information.

 

 

Project Objectives

 

The objective is to provide secure and controlled entry and exit for all City buildings and critical infrastructure facilities.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

At this time all doors are keyed differently, which makes it very difficult and time consuming to perform regular maintenance tasks at City facilities and limits the CityÕs ability to control access to facilities.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The cost of the installation of the proposed security system is not secured.  It is anticipated that the costs will be paid with Municipal Improvements Funds for Civic Buildings and Water System  and Sewer System Funds for the water and wastewater facilities respectively.

Project Justification

 

Currently, the CityÕs critical infrastructure and government buildings are not secured against unauthorized access.  This is particularly important for the CityÕs water, wastewater, and public safety buildings as the City grows.  These critical facilities are essential to the City and must be secured and protected from vandalism and tampering to ensure the safety of all of the residents. 

 

In addition to protecting the critical infrastructure, it is important to have control over the accessibility to the City Government buildings, as there are thousands of dollars of valuable equipment as well as confidential data located in these buildings.

 

In order to provide safe and secure entry and exit to all City facilities, a card access system is the most cost effective system.

 

 

Comments

 

The City will need to solicit proposals from qualified firms to determine the exact cost the purchase, install and maintain the security equipment.

Project Background

The creation of a new downtown waterfront ÒRiverwalk trailÓ is one part of the overall revitalization of the Riverfront and Rio VistaÕs historic downtown commercial area.  This project provides a public space for recreation with direct access to the river for pedestrians, fishing hiking and day-trippers.  It also sets the stage for redevelopment of adjacent private and public property while creating a focus for new investment.

 

Project Objectives

á       Attract private investment to the downtown area.

á       Provide recreation space and improve public access to Rio VistaÕs unique waterfront.

á       Links riverfront from Main Street to drawbridge with a new pedestrian walkway.

 

Existing Condition

Currently, there are undeveloped and underutilized vacant parcels that are poorly maintained.   It presents a poor image of the community at a key town entranceway on Highway 12 and drawbridge.  This neglected area has been given priority by Council, Economic Development Marketing Committee and Chamber for redevelopment.                                

 

Fiscal Implications

No funds are currently available for this project.  The most immediate prospect for financing is the refinance of current RDA debt with an additional $ 2-3 million revenue bond for these specific improvements. (See ÒHow to Raise $2-3 Million for Selected Improvements on the Downtown WaterfrontÓ.  Jeff Pyle, 11/03/04)

Project Background

The City pool needs to be expanded to accommodate additional use and future growth. The current facility may not be expandable due to age and obsolescence.

 

 

Project Objectives

To provide a facility able to accommodate future needs for aquatic sports and recreation.

 

 

Existing Condition

The current pool is obsolete and nearing the end of its useful life. It is too small to accommodate future needs or expansion required by growth. Currently, it is unclear how the proposed nonprofit/foundation pool will fulfill this need.  It is likely that the City will need a municipal facility to provide for activities not currently planned (water slides, recreational aquatic activities outside of competitive swimming and Òlap poolÓ). 

 

 

Fiscal Implications

The cost of constructing a new aquatic complex may exceed $2 million.  The 2003 Interim Municipal Facilities Fee allocated $1.3 million to a pool facility.  The Goodwin study recommended this amount should be increased. Currently, there is no consideration for ÒpartneringÓ with The Rio Vista Foundation or providing additional facilities at the Foundation site, when that pool is sited.

Give teens additional recreational outlets that are of interest to them, easily accessed, and impacted less by the regular winds experienced in this city.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

The existing skate park is cracking and in poor condition.  This combined with the poor location of the park results in the park not being used at all.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The cost to build this park can likely be funded with developer fees, depending on where the final park site is located.

Project Justification

 

 

There are a very limited amount of recreational activities available to teens living in Rio Vista and it is the CityÕs goal to provide affordable recreational activities for all age groups.  Teens have expressed a strong desire to have a skate park that has better facilities and is located in a low wind, easily accessed site.  Providing teens with recreational outlets that meet their interests leads to less delinquent behavior.

 

Comments

 

The estimate provided is a general estimate. Staff will need to research the cost of various skate parks and determine which facilities the teens prefer and develop an estimate based upon that information.

 

The equipment at the existing site will be removed and disposed of once the new skate park is constructed.
