She questioned why a portion of it is not placed into the Section 115 Trust Fund if it is <br />eventually going to be used to help pay down the pension liability and noted it would be a Council <br />decision. <br />Mayor Brown recessed the meeting at 10:14 p.m. The meeting resumed at 10.24 p.m. with all members <br />present. <br />Senior Budget and Finance Analyst Mahin Shah presented the four-year CIP plan. She advised there <br />are no personnel expenses included and the funds come from dedicated funding sources some of <br />which are restricted and can only be used for certain types of projects.. She noted FY 21122 and Fy <br />22123 are funded while FY 23124 and FY 24125 are only in the planning stages; and that the CIP is <br />comprised of five categories, transportation and street infrastructure, parks, miscellaneous, water, and <br />sewer. <br />Senior Budget and Finance Analyst Shah advised there will be $20 million of contributions from the <br />General Fund over the four years which can be applied to any City project; and that there are 61 <br />projects proposed over the four years across all categories. She reported 74.1o/o of the funds are <br />earmarked for state of good repair projects to extend the life of the City's assets. She advised 21o/o is <br />earmarked for new projects and enhancements with the rest going to reserves. <br />ln response to Councilmember Narum's inquiries, Senior Budget and Finance Analyst Shah clarified <br />the $20.2 million allocation from the General Fund is over four years. She reported there is $2.5 million <br />budgeted for FY 21122 and $5 million for FY 22123.

He advised by FY 24125 there will be $9.6 million in this <br />unallocated discretionary fund. <br />ln response to Councilmember Arkin's inquiries, City Manager Fialho clarified the four-year CIP is a <br />prospective document. He advised the City is allocating funds for either new projects identified as City <br />Council priorities or previously funded projects which need more allocation looking ahead. He noted the <br />document does not show what has been funded in previous years including some Council priorities but <br />those will be part of the final packet to be adopted at the next meeting. <br />ln response to Councilmember Arkin's inquiries, City Manager Fialho clarified the unexpended balance <br />in the Water Fund after four years, projected at $3.4 million, is a potential source of funds for pFAS <br />treatment once the costs of the project are known and the Council makes a policy decision. <br />ln response to Mayor Brown's inquiries, Director of Operations and Water Utilities Yurchak reported the <br />Val Vista Park underdrain involves redirecting recycled water. She explained the drainage must be <br />augmented to meet regulations. and that the pool decking and coating are at the point of needing to be <br />redone for being at the end of their useful life and noted this would be the last half of the overall project. <br />ln response to Mayor Brown's inquiries, Director of Finance Olson advised there is a list of projects <br />which can receive Development lmpact Fee funding and the fire stations are included. City Manager <br />Fialho clarified it was not 100% from Development lmpact Fees with the remaining portion coming from <br />General Fund dollars. <br />ln response to Mayor Brown's inquiry, Director of Operations and Water Utilities Yurchak explained <br />several considerations go into the replacement of a playground including the useful life. <br />City Council Minutes Page 9 of '10 June 1,2021
