HIGHLIGHTS
For the purposes of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), staff has included only those projects that
st
meet the CIP definition. Specific projects have been identified for the 1 year of the CIP, but have been
left in more general “project categories” (such as the Neighborhood/Pocket Park Development,
Recreation Center Improvements, and New Recreation Facilities projects) for the outlying years, where
specific projects are unidentified at this time.
For 2004 and future years, the three funds, (Lottery, Permanent Park and Recreation and the .25 Cent
Sales Tax) have been considered jointly to provide funding levels for CIP projects. The following are the
major CIP projects in the three funds:
Foothills Community Park
New Recreation Facilities Improvement/ Development
Neighborhood/Pocket Park Development
North Boulder Recreation Center
Flatirons Golf Course Improvement
Park Site Acquisition
Parks Operation Facility
East Boulder Community Park Development
Stazio Ballfield Infrastructure Development
Major gains have been made in “taking care of what we have” and sustainability through major facility
refurbishment and renovations. Facilities and Asset Management (FAM) is now fully funded for Ongoing
and Major Maintenance for the majority of the structures/facilities in Parks and Recreation.
FINANCING
The revenues from the .25 cent Sales Tax are estimated based on Finance Department sales tax
projections.
RELATIONSHIP TO OPERATING BUDGET
The Ballot Issue identified funding for the operating costs for the majority of the new park development
projects. The operating costs for renovation/refurbishment projects are expected to remain the same but
increase annually for inflationary increases.
