CITY MANAGER BRIEF Mayor and Members of the City Council: The Office of the City Manager is pleased to present the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for fiscal years 2020-2030. This is the third annual update to the 10-Year CIP first drafted fiscal year 2017. The CIP serves as a long-range planning tool used to help the City match revenues with major capital (items/projects with a unit cost over $25,000) needs over a ten-year period. The Ten-Year CIP encourages outside agencies to collaborate on funding opportunities and phased long-term City priorities. The projects in the CIP are derived from the 2013 Most Livable City Master Plan, 2008 Community Redevelopment Plan Update, City Council goals, citizen requests, and departmental recommendations. Fiscal year 2020 projects are included in the operating budget that the City Council adopted on September 16, 2019. Subsequent fiscal year projects are unfunded and presented for planning purposes only. MAJOR FACTORS IMPACTING CAPITAL PLANNING The City Council held work sessions on February 11, 2017 and May 20, 2017 to prioritize major capital projects which require cash reserves and outside funding sources. These projects are in addition to those already scheduled over the next ten years (Chapter 3). Moving forward, the Schedule will be revised to include projects from the Council’s priority list (Chapter 4) as funding is identified. Revenue – All budgets are constrained by available revenues. Capital projects are prioritized so that available funds are allocated based on need, Council priority, and their impact on service provision. Gulf Breeze is a largely built-out community lauded for its superior city services. General Fund revenues are expected to remain flat, with sales tax and millage rate projections remaining approximately the same as the last two years, yet needs for infrastructure improvements grow. Funds for capital maintenance also rely on enterprise funds from the City’s “business-like” services such as natural gas, water and sewer. Other major capital projects will require grants, state and federal appropriations, government bonds, or other long-term borrowing. Enterprise capital projects are funded by their respective enterprise revenues, such as the Water and Sewer Fund and Stormwater Fund. Additional capital projects selected by the Council will be funded, in part or in whole, by funds derived from non-recurring payment sources: Those sources include $5.9 million from the Florida Department of Transportation and an estimated $1.4 million received over five years as a result of the local option sales tax (LOST) infrastructure referendum which passed in Santa Rosa County on August 29, 2016. The October 8th Penny Referendum, if approved, will increase the LOST rate to 1%, doubling revenue dedicated for road improvements throughout the city. If the Penny Referendum fails, the LOST will sunset in 2021. Page 3
The Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan extrapolates projects directly from the City’s Comprehensive Plan and also the Community Redevelopment Area Plan Update. These projects include four key areas which focus on community resiliency. Transportation: A number of transportation projects are underway across the City. Funding has been provided for fiscal year 2020 to continue the City’s paving and resurfacing plan, road sign replacement program, sidewalk maintenance and expansion, and the two matching grant streetscape improvement projects within the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). Technology: In today’s world, citizens expect their City to be technologically adept. The City recently completed an energy efficiency program, replacing lights with energy-efficient upgrades, as well as upgrading all electric water meters with radio-read smart meters and a smart grid. The Ten-Year CIP reflects a continued commitment to technology advances with projects such as automating controls and monitoring of waste water treatment operations, utilizing supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) for remote monitoring of lift stations, and utilizing digital storage for online security and transference of records and evidence. The Ten-Year CIP also addresses IT through periodic server upgrades at City Hall and the installation of a new security system at the Recreation Center. Maintenance of City Facilities and Assets: Buildings require renovation and large equipment items require maintenance and replacement. This CIP includes funding for refurbishing of recreation gym flooring and tennis courts, the design and construction of a city splash pad, the replacement of a recreation truck, a fire chief responder truck, renovation of city hall offices within the Community Services and Finance Departments, replacement of police cars, new police laptop computers, expansion of the wastewater treatment plant, fire hydrant replacements, potable water plant improvements, water main and sewer main improvements, and natural gas maintenance and expansions. Environmental Protection and Green Space: The CIP continues to prioritize stormwater run-off hazards and environmental impacts through the replacement of stormwater culverts, waterline replacements related to infrastructure changes, and maintenance projects. The City continues to partner with Santa Rosa County and Gulf Power on environmental projects which address natural seagrass replacement and protection, shoreline erosion, and the replenishment of Deadman’s Island. Additionally, the Council may allocate funding for the City’s new and voluntary Septic Tank Elimination Program (STEP), to continue to address water quality and protect commercial and recreation fishing and oyster gardening.

DEFINITION, POLICIES & PROCESS DEFINITION OF A CAPITAL PROJECT 1. Cost should be $25,000 or more for the life of the project (budget policy set by Council). 2. Commonly will take more than a single year to complete. 3. Project revenues and expenditures should be clearly identified and balanced (e.g., revenue should equal project expenditures). 4. Projects should have an identifiable schedule that includes a beginning, intervening milestones, and an end. 5. Maintenance costs to increase the life of the City’s infrastructure, replacement costs for infrastructure and reserves for future projects are not defined as a CIP, but are included in the CIP budget document. Examples of these include: • Pavement maintenance • Stormwater run-off improvements • Fleet Maintenance Facility PRIMARY-SECONDARY PROJECTS – DEFINED The CIP frequently contains several projects that are similar in nature. For example, Public Services often proposes projects to replace or upgrade water mains. Each neighborhood and/or commercial location is formally a separate project, and funding may not be moved from one waterline project to another waterline project without City Manager authorization. The CIP may categorize similar projects together in a “primary-secondary” relationship. Following the waterline example, “Waterline Replacement” is the “primary” project, with individual “secondary” projects dedicated to each specific area where a project will be performed. The primary project description may include a description of each of the secondary projects related to it. The primary project serves as the budgetary control device within the CIP. The City Council authorizes transferring unspent funds from one secondary project to another secondary project, as long as the overall primary project budget does not change. This approach allows for greater flexibility and efficiency when programming multiple CIPs of the same type. PROCESS Existing projects are reviewed annually. This review compares user status and financial information to identify project progress and completion. This will be integrated into the budget pro forma review process. The City Manager’s Office and Finance Department will work with the CIP project managers to develop CIP revenue forecasts for the budget year. This analysis will be compiled and distributed by the City Manager’s Office and/or Finance Department to the appropriate project managers. Page 9
The City Manager’s Office and Department Heads will review and prioritize all existing CIPs to assure consistency with the City’s Master Plan, Community Redevelopment Agency Plan, and Comprehensive Plan. The City Council will review new projects and approve re-appropriation of funds for existing projects as part of the annual budget cycle. POLICIES CIP Projects – Large construction projects, equipment purchases, infrastructure maintenance, replacement costs and future reserves will be included in the Capital Improvement Program. CIP Purpose – The purpose of the CIP is to systematically plan, schedule, manage, monitor and finance capital projects to ensure cost-effectiveness as well as conformance with established policies. The CIP is a ten-year plan organized into the same functional groupings used for the operating programs. The CIP reflects a balance between capital replacement projects that repair, replace or enhance existing facilities, equipment or infrastructure; and capital facility projects that significantly expand or add to the City’s existing fixed assets. Project Manager – Every CIP project has a designated project manager who prepares the project proposal, ensures that required phases are completed on schedule, authorizes all project expenditures, ensures that all regulations and laws are observed, and periodically reports project status. Projects may be appropriated for anticipated revenues but cannot be spent until revenue documents have been received. Each proposed CIP project will include the approximate location, size, completion date (est.), and estimate of costs and source of funding such as General Fund, Capital Facility Fees, Federal or State Grant, etc. CIP Appropriation – The City’s annual CIP appropriation for study, design, acquisition, and/or construction is based on the projects designated by the Council through adoption of the Budget. Adoption of the CIP appropriation does not automatically authorize funding for a specific project phase. Project engineering and preliminary engineering will be appropriated at the time of Council action. Authorization for construction generally occurs only after: • The costs for the phases have been fully developed; • A grant is awarded and a copy of award is received in Finance; • A contract is granted after a competitive bid process; and • A request for proposal (RFP) is approved by Council. Actions involving any Federal or State funded CIP are restrained by the conditions of the grant. Accordingly, if contract costs at the time of bid award are less than the budgeted amount, the Page 10
unobligated balance will either be re-appropriated to project contingency or returned to fund balance. This action should be clearly explained in the fiscal impact section of a Council document and include any estimate for City engineering costs and required contingency to complete the project. If project costs at the time of bid award are greater than budget amounts, four options are typically available: 1. Eliminate the project; 2. Defer the project for consideration to the next Budget cycle; 3. Re-scope or change the phasing of the project to meet the existing budget; and 4. Appropriate additional resources as necessary from fund balance or other revenue sources. For new CIP projects outside of the adoption process, resources need to be identified: • Is there sufficient fund balance or monitored cash flow? • Has an invoicing procedure been established? • If sufficient funds are not available, lower priority projects may need to be eliminated and the budget for that project returned to fund balance and then re-appropriated to the higher priority project. Project Status – Project milestones will be listed as objectives in the program narratives to facilitate project tracking. CIP PROJECT REPORTING AND UPDATE PROCESS • Cost Estimates/Actuals by Phase • Schedule (Timeline) • Accounting Procedures/Revenue Tracking/Grant Invoicing/Project Closeout Procedures • Timely Status Update Reporting (Note: Cost overruns and funding needs to be determined early. Updated costs and postponed timelines flag potential funding issues.) Page 11

COUNCIL STRATEGIC PRIORITIES Projects within this Capital Improvement Plan have been approved for inclusion by the City Council. Projects are scheduled or unscheduled. To be a scheduled project, projects generally meet three criteria: A probable cost estimate has been determined; one or more reliable sources of funding has been identified; and Council prioritizes for implementation. Projects not yet scheduled in the previous chapter are listed here. The purpose of this chapter is to serve as discussion and background for the Council’s deliberations of funding allocations within the Ten-Year CIP, in addition to those projects approved with the adoption of the FY2017 budget. In many cases, prioritizing projects within the City’s CIP is a first critical step towards successful grant applications and state and federal appropriations. All projects listed in this chapter are unfunded as of October 2017, and listed for consideration of an amended Capital Improvement Plan. The City Council held work sessions on February 11, 2017 and May 20, 2017 to prioritize these projects which require cash reserves and outside funding sources. Moving forward, the Schedule will be revised to include projects from the Council’s priority list as funding is identified. See List of Projects on following pages. Page 41
FURTHER DISCUSSION Citywide Stormwater Projects The City’s Stormwater Master Improvement List has ten projects totaling an estimated $6M remaining. Citizens have requested a comprehensive approach, rather than obtain grants for design and construction, such as occurred for the projects completed after the April 2005 floods until present. After a workshop discussing funding opportunities for the stormwater priorities, in fiscal year 2018, the City Council engaged a rate consultant to provide options of fee structures for funding the projects and funding the stormwater utility to a level of sufficiency. Subsequently, the City Council raised the rate to ensure the utility is adequately funded for annual maintenance with no supplemental funding by the general fund, and also in order to fund half the costs of major stormwater improvements in the east and west basins, and to pay off the remaining debt service from disaster recovery projects in the central basin. The remaining 50% cost share for the east and west basin stormwater projects will be funded by City reserves, comprised of $3 million invested from the $5.9 million paid by FDOT for lands related to the Pensacola Bay Bridge replacement project. The result is that the new stormwater rate will be leveraged with City savings and RESTORE grants to complete the last of the list in the stormwater master plan adopted after the 2014 major flood. RESTORE Act The Resources and Ecosystem Sustainability, Tourist Options and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast Act of 2012 (RESTORE Act, H.R. 4348) allocated 80% of the Clean Water Act (1972) penalties from the Deepwater Horizon Spill. Under the RESTORE Act, the fines are divided under five different sources of funding, including the Direct Allocation Component (DAC). Seventy-five percent of Florida’s allocated RESTORE Act Funds are designated to the eight coastal counties. The City of Gulf Breeze is a member of the Local Restore Council, a Board appointed by the Santa Rosa County Commissioners. The Local RESTORE Council is a sunshine organization for discussing and endorsing projects. The Council has developed a technical scoring system to rate project proposals (See Appendix). $4.3 million is currently available to Santa Rosa County through RESTORE. An additional $24 million will be made available to Santa Rosa County over the next 15 years beginning 2017. Gulf Breeze has two stormwater projects awarded in this multi-year plan, both of which require a 50% match and are included in this Plan’s Ten-Year Capital Projects Schedule. The Council may prioritize additional projects within this CIP eligible for RESTORE and other environmental funding sources. For instance, the County has submitted the City’s STEP program for funding two areas south of Highway 98 east of the City limits. The largest of these two areas, Soundside B, has a probably cost estimate of $3 million to connect residences with City sewer. Septic Tank Elimination Program (STEP) Fund STEP is a 2016 voluntary program and allows a property owner to connect to central sewer affordably, prior to problems developing. The participating property owner must enter into an agreement with the City, and meet program eligibility requirements. Approximately 1000 Page 42
households within the City utilize septic tanks for sewage, generally located west of Navarre Street, excluding Peake’s Point. The majority of Gulf Breeze citizens are connected to the central sewer system, including all commercial customers. Any existing residence with a septic system is eligible for this payment plan program. Existing platted, vacant residential lots may also be considered. Undeveloped property larger than 1 acre and commercial facilities are not eligible. The City Council will prioritize areas within this Plan according to need, available funding, and environmental benefits. Tiger Point Golf Course Improvements The City is in its third year of an operations and maintenance contract with a golf course management company. The contract includes requirements for a capital improvement plan. Additionally, the Public Services Department is developing a needs assessment for the rehabilitation of the property contained in the back 9 holes of the West Course. The City Council has preliminarily approved a sale for the driving range which will enable the relocation of the range to a more advantageous location closer to the clubhouse, as well as fund a needed irrigation replacement on the East Course. The City Council has also preliminarily approved the sale of 45 acres of the west course to the School Board, for a new school to benefit the area. The proceeds from this sale will also result in additional capital improvements. Economic Initiatives/Implementation of Most Livable City Master Plan The Mayor and Council support economic development programs and initiatives to incentivize technology and commerce industries which are a high priority to the Council. The Most Livable City Master Plan lists recommendations for the three catalyst sites, or corridors: Town Center, Bay Bridge and East Gate. Providing matching grant funds, public private partnerships and economic development incentives targeted to these areas have resulted in exciting new projects and programs. One such example is the Andrews Research and Education Foundation, Inc. (AREF), established in the Town Center to develop sports and musculoskeletal medicine programs to prevent and treat patients worldwide. Presently unfunded recommendations in the Town Center Catalyst Site include providing new parallel roads for local traffic behind school property and behind Walmart; relocating athletic fields to provide opportunity for new mixed-use development; relocating the school traffic signal to provide access to both sides of US-98; and relocating ball fields which serve the school site. Presently unfunded recommendations for the Bay Bridge Catalyst Site include encouraging new hotel and mixed-use development; providing new breakwater to protect boat slips at the marina; and providing vehicle and pedestrian access and parking beneath the new Pensacola Bay Bridge to connect parks and businesses on the east and west sides of US-98. Presently unfunded recommendations for the East Gate Catalyst Site includes providing a new parallel east/west road south of US-98 to move local traffic. This will require right-of-way from the back of the Live Oak Village parcel and Harbourtown; moving the existing traffic signal at Page 43
Live Oak Village east to provide better access to the north and south properties; providing a new traffic signal and on-grade intersection at site of existing bridge flyover; and providing opportunities for new office buildings and parking garages to increase the job base. Holley-Navarre Utility Expansion Initiative Holley-Navarre Water System, Inc. (HNWS) is in discussions with the City’s wastewater utility to explore opportunities for wastewater disposal service. The City would potentially provide 0.500 million gallons per day (MGD) capacity in 2017, increasing to 0.750 MGD in 2022 and to 1.000 MGD in 2027. The increases correspond to the five-year permit renewal period for the City. HNWS would then pay a reuse system impact fee, based on the one MGD capacity and the fee paid by residential developments for not installing reclaimed irrigation systems. HNWS would then pay a set cost per thousand gallons per day for the reclaimed water pumped to the City, with a minimum \"give or pay\" based on $0.60 for the capacity of that year (e.g. 500,000 GPD capacity at $0.60 per thousand for 365 days equals minimum annual payment of $109,500). Underground Utilities Undergrounding utilities has long been a priority for Gulf Breeze residents and businesses within the Community Redevelopment Area. Gulf Power provided a three-phased plan with cost estimates in 2015. In 2018, the Community Redevelopment Agency initiated a feasibility study to determine costs from all other utilities and determine necessary easements. In 2019, the Community Redevelopment Agency allocated funds for preliminary design. However, Hurricane Michael to the east delayed the completion of the 2018 feasibility study until May 2019. Dewberry was selected to complete the study. The results of the CRA study found costs had risen sharply. The first phase (Section A) is proposed from the Three Mile Bridge to Fairpoint Drive and is approximately 2,600’ in length. The engineer’s estimate is $1,348,000, including easement acquisition costs. The second phase (Section B) is from Fairpoint to Daniel Drive (2,850’) is estimated at $9,620,500, including easement acquisitions, duct banks and junction boxes. The third phase (Section C) is from Daniel Drive to just west of the Pensacola Bridge overpass, on both sides. The length of Section C is approximately 1,565’ and the cost is estimated at $9,687,500, including easement acquisitions, duct banks, and junction boxes. Section D encompasses the area along US 98 from the east of the Pensacola Beach overpass to the beginning of the Naval Live Oaks Reserve, or 2,800’ This section is estimated to cost $17,727,800. Staff estimates the total cost for all four sections is $38,303,800, making this the most costly project being discussed in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan. Page 44
