CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The fiscal year 2006-2007 proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget provides $17.4 million for new projects. The City of West Covina defines a CIP as having (1) a capital asset with a desired minimum dollar amount of $10,000, and (2) an estimated useful life of three years or more.

The proposed CIP is necessary because it is impossible to fund all capital requests immediately. In order to meet the City's needs, it is imperative that the City continues to plan and strategize how it will allocate limited financial resources for capital projects. The CIP should not be confused with the capital improvement budget. The capital improvement budget represents the first year of the CIP and is adopted by the City Council. The capital improvement budget authorizes specific projects and appropriates specific funding for those projects. Projects and financing sources listed in the CIP for years other than year one (commonly called "out years") are not authorized until the annual budget for those years is adopted by the City Council. The "out years" serve only as a guide for future planning and are subject to further review and modification in subsequent years by the City Council.

Each year, the City Council adopts a five-year CIP to provide a standard by which to:

• Prioritize the increased needs of the City;
• Analyze the various funding sources;
• Match, as appropriate, the funds to the various needs;
• Plan to meet the City's capital needs over an extended period of time, as funding becomes available; and
• Help to eliminate deficiencies, yet accommodate changing priorities while progressing toward a goal.

Although staff has made every attempt to adhere to the definition of a CIP, there are some items that stand alone, well below the $10,000 limit. While these items would not be classified by most agencies as "capital projects," they have been included due to their uniqueness. The Government Finance Officers' Association defines a capital asset as "a new or rehabilitated physical asset that is nonrecurring, has a useful life of more than three to five years, and is expensive to purchase." The term "expensive" is relative and may appear arbitrary at first; however, a survey of 14 local cities revealed that the most common dollar figure used to define a capital asset is $10,000.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SELECTION PROCESS
The CIP has been developed with the combined input of the sports league representatives, Community Services Commission, City Council, and City staff. Every year, the City invites the sports leagues to identify needed improvements in the parks. In addition, the community services department staff submits requests that are associated with recreational and social programs that impact the entire City.

The CIP requests identified by the Community Services staff and the sports league representatives are presented to a sub-committee of the Community Services Commission for review. The first step in this process includes site visits by the sub-committee to review and rate each project with an "A" through "F" rating. The sub-committee then submits its rating to the full Commission for approval. The projects that receive an "A" rating by the Commission are reviewed for feasibility then recommended for approval in the Capital Improvement Budget.

In the past, some "B" and "C" rated projects have been moved forward and budgeted due to the availability of funds. The total recommended fiscal year 2006-2007 funding for Community Service Commission rated projects is $178,000. All other CIP projects listed were developed from requests made by the City Council and City staff.

The total CIP budget for fiscal year 2006-2007 is $6,488,700 with an additional $10,626,000 to be funded by grants, anticipated development fees and state loans. A list of all the recommended projects is shown on the following pages.

SPECIAL COMMENTS
There are increasingly less restricted funds available for CIP projects. This has created a challenge for staff due to the numerous projects that are in need of funding. However, no General Funds have been allocated. Listed below is the amount of CIP funding per year for the last five years:


* The total does not include grants that are subject to funding approval

CONCLUSION
This CIP is presented herewith to the City Council as a working document. The projects and funding sources can be shifted to better reflect the priorities of the City Council. The City is committed to meeting its capital improvement needs in a fiscally reasonable manner and is aggressively seeking strategic alternatives that will allow the highest level of service to the residents, visitors, and businesses in the City of West Covina. Further, staff continues to search and apply for grants to assist in the funding for Capital projects.

Project Number: B11
Project Title: Fire Station 3 - Renovation
Requesting Dept: Fire
Description: Fire Station 3, located at 1433 West Puente Avenue, is in the City's designated CDBG project area. It was construction in 1963 and has not been significantly upgraded or remodeled in 43 years. Approximately two years ago the dormitory was divided to create two privacy rooms and a physical fitness area.

The proposal to renovate the fire facility includes remodeling the existing kitchen and replacing the cabinets and appliances with new units. The renovation includes the installation of insulated drop ceiling with upgraded and energy-efficient lighting, reconfigure the station layout to include two additional privacy dormitories, reconfigure the captains dormitory, add one single bathroom/shower facility, replace existing glass doors and walls to both the front and rear of the station with insulated framed/stucco walls and more secure doors. Extend the front captain's office approximately 8'. Remove interior non-bearing walls and expand the station library into an area with multiple work stations. The renovation includes the installation of storage cabinets to replace the closet space lost by the removal of the non-bearing wall. Replace existing HVAC ductwork/thermostats throughout. Remove old lockers and relocate exercise equipment. Replace all hard and soft floor covering. Install new lockers in each of the dormitory rooms. Paint interior and exterior of the station.

The renovation should improve provisions for accommodating any female fire fighters hired in the future.
Fund Source: Community Development Block Grant - $220,000
Operating Impact: The proposed improvements will allow for a more energy efficient and comfortable work environment for firefighters working a 24-hour shift. The provisions for replacing the glass panels/doors will significantly improve fire station security. Remodeling the kitchen will improve the aesthetics of the more than 40-year old facility.

Project Number: B12
Project Title: Fire Station 4 - Paint Interior
Requesting Dept: Fire
Description: Fire Station 4 located at 1815 S. Azusa Avenue needs interior painting. The existing painting is approximately 8-years old and is chipped, scratched, and discolored from cleaning and in general poor condition. During a recent facilities inspection, the interior painting was "written up" for the cause of identifying the stations as poor. The request includes painting the station's apparatus floor and storage rooms. The condition of the fire station's interior paint makes the facility look dirty to both visitors and employees.

Project Number: B25
Project Title: Fire Station 5 - Remodel
Requesting Dept: Fire
Description: Fire Station 5 located at 2650 E. Shadow Oak Drive was constructed in 1978. Modest accommodations were added in 2005 to accommodate female firefighters. The facility's modifications included the installation of privacy doors on crew rooms. While the modifications created personal privacy, the addition of doors created an almost closet-like living environment. Currently, the 28-year old kitchen needs cabinet and appliance replacement, as well as improvements to the physical layout. The restroom and shower facility is in dire need of upgrading. Substantial space is wasted with poorly planned hallways and storage at an absolute minimum.

The proposal is to remove the interior non-bearing walls, open up the living/office space, remodel the kitchen, bathroom, and reconfigure the crew rooms.

Project Number: B26
Project Title: Police Department - Men's Room Shower Repair
Requesting Dept: Police
Description: The shower stalls are over 35 years old. The existing tile is lifting from the shower floor and walls. The old tile cannot be matched either in size or color. Attempts have been made to replace the missing tiles with no success. Removing existing tile and grout from five shower stalls in the men's locker room and replacing with tile/grout matching the renovated handicapped shower will total $28,000.

Project Number: B27
Project Title: Police Department - Reroof
Requesting Dept: Police Department
Description: Police department roof leaks. This project will remove exiting roof and install new rock roof.

Project Number: B28
Project Title: Police Department - Vehicle Evidence Enclosure
Requesting Dept: Police Department
Description: Currently the storage of vehicles held as evidence at the police department is not secured from the general public or sheltered from weather. This has proved an on-going problem since the police station was built decades ago. Because of the location of this evidence storage area, the recent federally funded securing of police patrol vehicles in the parking lot could not address this problem.

Most recently, the non-secure condition of this area resulted in the contamination of vehicle evidence by weather, weakening the prosecutor's case through the loss of this evidence.

To remedy this, an evidence storage building is needed. Specifically, a stand-alone structure similar to a 2-car garage with roll-up doors would provide proper coverage for vehicle evidence and will house forensic analysis equipment.

Project Number: B29
Project Title: Aquatic Center - Construction
Requesting Dept: Community Services
Description: This project includes the construction of an aquatic center. It was requested by the community and has been on the CIP since 1997. With a population of over 106,000 residents, the need for an aquatic center remains a priority.

On May 16, 2000, the City Council expressed an interest in the possibility of constructing an aquatic center at Shadow Oak Park, using some of the proceeds from the sale of the City's water system to Suburban Water Systems.

At the June 20, 2000 City Council meeting, the Aquatic Center project was received and filed pending future City Council budget deliberations on the Capital Improvement Program.

The City Council is now considering the construction of an aquatic center at the proposed sports park facility.

Project Number: B30
Project Title: Aquatic Center Design
Requesting Dept: Community Services
Description: The municipal pool was constructed in 1968. It no longer meets several legal requirements related to the Clean Water Act-NPDES, health codes, AQMD mandates, ADA regulations, and building codes. Safety enhancements include an alarm system to prevent unauthorized use, non- slip pool decking, installing a roof over the changing rooms, and handrails into the pool.

The pool has a very small shallow water area. The majority of open swim users and swim lesson participants require shallow water. The pool could serve more participants with a larger shallow area and lights repaired in the pool. A new pool could address all these areas and provide an efficient municipal pool.

Project Number: B31
Project Title: City Hall - Enclose Portion of First Floor for Three Meeting Rooms
Requesting Dept: City Manager
Description: Additional office/conference space is needed. This project will enclose approximately 2,000 square feet of the City Hall first floor.

$2,000 - Related Supplies

Project Number: G3
Project Title: Fire Department - Thermal Imaging Rescue Device Requesting Dept: Fire
Description: This piece of equipment will be used by the Department Rapid Intervention Team to locate fallen firefighters and fire victims during fire ground operations. When victims are involved, successful search and rescue operations are crucial to their survival. The requested thermal imaging device can locate hidden fire and find people in zero visibility conditions; it also limits the time a firefighter is exposed to dangerous, life-threatening situations.
Fund Source: Cable Settlement - $17,000
Operating Impact: None

Project Number: G4
Project Title: Police Department - Computers, Mobile and Station
Requesting Dept: Police
Description: The police department computers, both in the station and the field, are increasingly failing and in need of replacement. Most of the station computers, which are in use round the clock at Records, Patrol, and the front desk, have experienced hard-drive and monitor failures, necessitating numerous parts replacements. In the past year alone, 20 hard drives and 25 monitors have broken and had to be replaced. With the enhancements to our CAD/RMS, upgrades with with speed video, and the increasing use of DVD-based training by POST, the current hardware will not meet our needs. The machines are at the end of their useful lifespan, but can be replaced in two phases (first targeting those that are in heavier use, and/or have the old hard drives, then moving onto the rest).

Similarly, the Mobile Data Computers utilized in the field vehicles (which are the data and command link to dispatch and the station, access external law enforcement databases, and are tied into the Automated Vehicle Locator system for real-time response management), have experienced component failures. Over one-third of the patrol MDC's have been repaired in the past year, as they have surpassed their normal lifespan, which is further ompounded by their constant use and harsh field environment. As the machines are two generations old, finding replacement parts is problematic. The machines lack the power to support technology such as transmitting suspect photos, using fingerprint, license scanners, etc. These too can be replaced in two phases (starting with those in heavier use, them moving to the rest).
Fund Source: Public Safety Augmentation - $96,000
Operating Impact: Similar to contractual costs in place currently.

Project Number: G5
Project Title: Police Department - Vehicle Mounted Patrol Cameras
Requesting Dept: Police
Description: As commonly used by law enforcement agencies, equipping police patrol vehicles with video cameras would reduce City liability by capturing a "true" visual recording of police incidents. Digital technology allows for automatic data transfer (from vehicles to central digital depot) and efficient data storage.
Fund Source: Grant - $225,000
Operating Impact: Maintenance costs of estimated $7,000 annually.

Project Number: G6
Project Title: Public Works Department - Fleet Management Software Upgrade
Requesting Dept: Public Works
Description: Upgrade the current Equipment Maintenance Software Program from an HP 3000 mainframe system to a PC Network version.

The Equipment Maintenance Section uses a software program to track maintenance costs and repairs of City equipment. This software program is currently "loaded" on the police department's HP3000 mainframe computer that has been declared obsolete by its manufacturer, Hewlett Packard. The manufacturer has announced that they will not be providing product support for the HP3000 in the near future and the HP3000 may suffer long delays on repairs because of the lack of parts and support.

The software provider that currently services and licenses the City's program "Task Force" has made indications they are also looking at declaring the mainframe software as obsolete and the PC Network version as the replacement for it. The information service division will be overseeing the operations of the PC Network version software when the system is updated.
Fund Source: Fleet Maintenance - $32,000
Operating Impact: Similar to contractual costs in place currently

Project Number: G7
Project Title: Community Services - Portable Stage Replacement
Requesting Dept: Community Services
Description: The portable stage unit is utilized for various special events throughout the City and for the benefit of various non-profit groups. It is highly convenient and visible, but with its use increasing each year, and wear and tear evident, replacement of the unit is needed. The need for an area to allow for performances is evident at special events as thousands of residents come to enjoy time with their families. Purchasing a new showmobile will facilitate a need for a performing arts stage. It is also a possible revenue source for the maintenance of the unit and other recreation programming.

Project Number: G8
Project Title: Body Armor Replacement
Requesting Dept: Fire
Description: In March 2001, the City purchased tactical vests for all line personnel and adopted a policy that firefighters don the protective equipment when responding to incidents of reported shootings, stabbings, domestic abuse, or other similar incidents of reported violence. The tactical vests have a manufacturers expiration date of five years.

The replacement of the 75 tactical vests would allow all personnel assigned to fire suppression to be issued a current protective device.

Project Number: G9
Project Title: Planning - General Plan Rewrite
Requesting Dept: Planning
Description: The overall cost of undertaking a comprehensive update to the General Plan has been previously estimated at approximately $600,000. Approximately $50,000 is already set-aside in a special General Plan update fund from planning fees. It is proposed to allocate an additional $50,000 in this year's CIP budget in order to commence the General Plan update, providing a total budget for next year of $100,000. It is anticipated that completion of the project will necessitate additional time and funding beyond this year. Upon approval of funding, the planning department will examine options and recommend a course of action for undertaking the General Plan update. To be cost effective, this may entail hiring a senior level contract (limited duration) staff person instead of hiring a consulting firm to perform the work (other than technical studies such as traffic). This may entail limiting the General Plan update to only the Land and Circulation Elements (the most important elements that must be done concurrently because of their inter-relatedness).

Project Number: G10
Project Title: Swat Weapons Replacements
Requesting Dept: Police
Description: The MPS 9mm machine guns and other rifles utilized by the SWAT team for safety emergencies are 16 years old. They must be replaced with current weapons with appropriate optics to ensure officer safety. The total cost for the 15 weapons, including lights and optics, comes to $30,000.

Description: Install automated telephone permit software to allow customers/residents to requests inspections and check project status by automated phone services.

Project Number: G12
Project Title: Public Works Department/Information System - Replace Halon System
Requesting Dept: Public Works
Description: The computer room located inside information services division is a critical facility in which a fire could cause a major disruption of City business. The present Halon Fire Suppression System, which is over 15 years old, has a history of accidental activation and no longer meets NFPA Standards.

Project Number: G13
Project Title: Public Works - Imaging and Conversion of Microfilm Plans and Permits to Electronic Data
Requesting Dept: Public Works
Description: This project would convert the City's building plans from microfilm to electronic data. Electronic plans would be linked to the upcoming Sierra Plus System. This will reduce staff time in researching records, since access would be instantaneous. It will also eliminate lost or destroyed records. This will set the stage for the electronic access to certain public records by developers, agents, owners, and builders through the internet or e-mail. This will save time and money for developers, agents, and builders.

These add-on modules provide added features to the Permit Plus computer permit and tracking system. The imaging modules allow other electronic and paper documents to be attached to permit activities. This will allow documents such as soil reports, grading reports, engineering calculations, and staff reports to be archived with the permits and provide instant access to documents through cross-references such as address, owner's name, contractor, parcel number, etc. This will reduce the cost of microfilming, as many of these documents are currently microfilmed. This will also set the stage for the eventual electronic access to certain public records by developers, agents, owners, and builders through the internet.

Project Number: G14
Project Title: Sign Fabrication Computerized Unit Replacement
Requesting Dept: Public Works
Description: Machine used to cut vinyl letters and numbers to create City and traffic signs (sign fabricator / computer) is obsolete and repair parts are unobtainable. It is approximately 16 years old. Signs are fabricated daily and the sign fabricator is in need of repair. All street names signs are fabricated in-house at a substantial savings.

Project Number: G15
Project Title: Trails Enhancement - Citywide
Requesting Dept: Community Services
Description: A citywide multi-trails (hike, bike, equestrian) and greenways enhancement master plan project is currently in development by a Cal Poly Pomona Studio 606 team.

This request is to prepare for the funding of trail enhancement based on the completion of the master plan and City Council approval of projects relating to trail and greenways enhancement.

Project Number: G16
Project Title: Police Department - Bulletproof Vests
Requesting Dept: Police
Description: Bulletproof vests worn by sworn police officers to protect their lives have a useful (warranty) life of five years. They will need replacement in fiscal year 2009. The BJA Bulletproof Vest Partnership grant currently in existence provides only up to 50% of the purchase price of vests and requires that the remainder come from a local non-federal cash source. The future existence of this BJA grant is under question, and furthermore, the State Supplemental Law Enforcement Services grant previously used to meet the required cash match was terminated by the State in 2003. Another local funding source should be earmarked for this future replacement, which will ensure the daily safety of sworn police officers in the field.

Project Number: G17
Project Title: Eden Modules
Requesting Dept: Finance
Description:
1. Project Accounting Module $33,700
2. Bid & Quote Module $14,000
3. Contract Management Module $13,650

Project Accounting Module:
The project accounting module will enable us to more efficiently account and budget for multi-year projects and multi-year grants. It will reduce the number of funds, divisions and account numbers currently needed to adequately account for restricted grant monies. It captures all project related cost data regardless in which Eden module the cost originated (payroll, accounts payable, general ledger, purchasing, accounts receivable or contract management).

Bid & Quote Module:
Enables staff to develop Requests for Proposals and to manage the decision making process by providing vendor and quote analysis tools. It offers seamless integration with other Eden Modules: purchasing, contract management and accounts payable.

Contract Management Module:
Enables staff to efficiently monitor contracts. Provides ability to track term of contract, contract expiration dates, insurance requirements and other provisions of the contract. Provides seamless integration with other Eden Modules (general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, purchasing, project accounting, bid & quote, and payroll).

Project Number: T9
Project Title: Public Safety Intersection Intervention System Includes Stoplight Emitter
Requesting Dept: Fire and Police
Description: The City currently has 35 intersections equipped with "optical emitter" technology that automatically turns stoplights green when emergency vehicles need to move through the City to respond to an urgent scene. As the emergency vehicle passes, the traffic computer readjusts the traffic flow to normal.

In actual installations, these systems have proven that they can reduce emergency response time by at least 18 percent. Intersection intervention systems have also proven themselves to greatly increase the safety of emergency personnel, as well as the safety of the general public. This system will greatly improve emergency response times for fire, police, and ambulance vehicles, as well as improving safety throughout the community.

The fire department recently installed emitters on their trucks, but the police department has none, although officers respond to 10 times as many calls for emergency service. Installing this technology on 35 police vehicles would contribute to a safer public safety response to emergencies. Reducing travel time is a very cost-effective means to reduce overall emergency response times for both fire and police personnel

Project Title: Mobile Command Center
Requesting Dept: Police
Description: Our current mobile command post vehicle is 20 years old. When called into action, it typically breaks down. Replacement parts for this customized vehicle are not available. West Covina needs to replace this emergency response vehicle, as we serve as a headquarter city for our region of the statewide critical incident task force, are a member of the FBI's anti-terrorism task force, and are intimately involved in critical incident coordination bringing together multi-agency law enforcement, other first responders, and trauma centers. We are in vital need of a functional mobile command center. This is a custom vehicle specifically designed for critical emergencies and threats, allowing officers to immediately plan and coordinate emergency responses in the field. A functional mobile command center would ensure regional communications, rapid assessment and use of emergency resources, a functional field supply line, and directly improve the safety of first responders. Purchasing an equipped mobile command center will drastically improve the police department's organized response to emergencies, ensuring officer safety. This incorporates one turn-key LDV custom vehicle (Freightliner FL50 medium duty truck) with mounted public safety features (diesel generator; radio communication system incorporating 5 transceivers; telephone and intranet communication system components, including tiltable dish tower, etc.) and trailer, totaling $265,000.

Project Number: Y5
Project Title: Hollingworth School - Field Upgrades
Requesting Dept: Community Services
Description: Hollingworth School and the Galaxie Little League are requesting to the north playground of the school as a CIP grant. We are requesting $35,000 for improvement of the two ballfields on the school grounds, by replacing existing dugouts, backstops, and bleachers; repair of the irrigation system, leveling infield and reseed grass areas, improving stair railings, and the addition of groundcover to the slopes between the school campus and the park.

Hollingworth School provides a variety of recreational opportunities to the community. The Galaxie Little League, or district, does not have the financial resources to do this project but could share expenses with the City. The project meets the criteria of a CIP grant as it is for local residents enjoyment and is open to the public during non-school hours. Several tripping hazards exist with the very uneven fields and gigantic puddles. The bleachers are worn out and rickety. This project is located on the north side of the campus, adjacent to Friendship Park. West Covina residents, particularly the children who play softball with Galaxie Little League and their parents, will be positively impacted by the improved fields.

Project Number: Y6
Project Title: Maverick Field - Dugout Replacement
Requesting Dept: Public Works
Description: Remove and replace the Maverick Field dugouts. The current dugouts are a safety hazard to players, as they jet out 3' into foul territory. The dugouts also have faulty roofs and are too small for proper use.

The new dugouts should be flush with the existing fence line and moved outward, further away from home plate. This would enhance the safety of players and not interfere with short pop-ups in foul territory.

Project Number: Y7
Project Title: Nogales High School - Little Theater Renovation
Requesting Dept: Community Services
Description: In a community with few halls available, renovating the Little Theater demonstrates a commitment to increasing cultural opportunities for students, families, and community. It also provides a much-needed venue for community public affairs functions requiring the use of a stage, lighting, sound, and seating capacity for approximately one hundred people. The current lighting system is approximately 20 years old. Upgrades will increase technical capabilities and eliminate maintenance issues associated with aged equipment.

Project Number: Y8
Project Title: Nogales High School - Tennis Court Lighting
Requesting Dept: Public Works
Description: The school is proposing the installation of exterior tennis court lighting so that the courts can be utilized in the evening by community and students. This would provide an additional recreational facility open to the general public.

As part of Measure R, Nogales High School is undergoing major renovation and upgrades to roofing, ramps, handicap parking, electrical and restroom facilities.

We believe the school and community are partners in improving the overall health and well being of the community. Partnerships, such as this, provide a sound opportunity for sharing the costs represented by the need to create increased recreational facilities for teens and individuals of all ages in our community.

1) The reason that the estimate for installation is vague is because the project would have to go to DSA for approval first and then go out for public bid. In order to get appropriate costing, the real scope of work needs to be established which would include the electrical impact on the campus, etc. Unfortunately, for a project of this scope, estimates always have a range until final DSA approval and the bid process has been completed.

2) The District has paid the cost of resurfacing the courts and replacing the windscreens. The school will also maintain custodial services and security coverage during our regular school hours which extend thru 9:00p.m.

3) The District is willing to pick-up the cost of operating the lights for public usage.

Several board members have tried many times to correct the problem but it is too dangerous and costly to repair. Speaker system that is attached to the scoreboards is inoperable.

Project Number: Y18
Project Title: Rincon School - New Baseball Field (Grant to School)
Requesting Dept: Community Services
