Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) - City of Delaware

City of
Delaware
Ohio
August 28, 2008
Dear Mayor Wheeler and Council Members:
In accordance with Section 79 of the City Charter, submitted herewith is the 2009-2013
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Pursuant to Section 80 of the Charter, Council is
required to adopt a CIP on or before October 15.
In review of the 2009-2013 CIP city staff made efforts to consider our capital needs, what
the community wants, the age and condition of our infrastructure, the status of current
projects, and how we could add the necessary new infrastructure and equipment in the
most cost effective manner.
You will see our estimates for the City’s general fund allocation to the CIP is fairly
conservative with increases averaging 1.8% over the 5 year period. Technology and
equipment purchases consume the majority of this revenue followed by transportation
and street maintenance. Debt service paid by the general fund for the streetscape
improvements, Ross Street Park, and pool improvements consumes an average of 35% of
general fund income right off the top. The remaining amount of $6.1 million is what is
left to spend on capital improvements.
We have scaled back significantly in the transportation and street maintenance areas in
order to preserve and target street maintenance dollars to the “The Point” project.
Realignment and signalization of the intersection is planned for 2009. This project is
being partially funded by the Ohio Public Works Commission and will address the City’s
Point related congestion.
You may recall the state of Ohio passed an “economic stimulus” bill in late spring of this
year in an effort to spur economic development, growth, and generate jobs throughout the
state. One of their targets was increasing funding for several Ohio Public Works
Commission programs. The city has successfully completed several OPWC projects in
the past and was eager to take advantage of this opportunity. Of course, these grants
require a City commitment of funds as a match. The total project cost for all proposed
OPWC projects is $3,437,600 with the City’s share being $1,754,447. We have also been
fortunate in the past to receive a $50,000 contribution from the County for each of these
projects. We anticipate that commitment to continue. You will see the “Point Phase 1”
project in the Street Maintenance category and the other OPWC projects in the
Transportation Improvement category.
The downside to focusing resources on “The Point” in 2009 is a reduction in the City’s
resurfacing dollars. Since the City’s contribution to the Point is $506,744 this added cost

could not be directly absorbed. Therefore, we had to review our options. During our CIP
discussions we reviewed our resurfacing program and the overall condition of our roads.
As you may be aware, the industry standard for gauging the overall condition of
roadways is the pavement condition index, or PCI. We have included some additional
narrative on the city’s PCI. Overall, the City’s road conditions are considered “good”
(68-81 PCI) based on this index. Our goal has been to maintain at least at 70 PCI average
on all our roads. Therefore, city staff felt that by reducing some of the resurfacing dollars
in 2009 we could shift this resource to the Point without overly impacting the quality of
our roadways. This will result in a resurfacing program of $226,718 in 2009. In 2010 this
amount will be increased to $798,000 and increase to $850,000 by 2013.
Another important topic in the CIP is the City’s overall debt position. Currently our total
outstanding debt is $76 million. We have included a complete summary of the City’s debt
position in the introductory material that outlines our outstanding debt, our annual
payments, and maturity dates. By using debt-financing we have been able to add
substantial infrastructure to the City such as a new wastewater treatment facility, the
Southeast Highland Sewer, sections of Glenn Road, and a new Public Works facility and
Justice Center Expansion. These investments were necessary given the City’s expansion
and growth over the years. When development increases we will recoup our investment
from the South East Highland Sewer and Glenn Road through capacity fee income and
community charges, respectively.
Some of the new capital investments in the CIP that will be financed over the long-term
include the water treatment plant expansion, Hills-Miller transmission line, and the
upground reservoir. These are all out of the Water Capacity Fund. The debt for these
projects will be paid from Water Capacity Funds and increases in water rates, given the
current income stream from capacity fees. You will see that projects in the Sewer
Capacity Fund are very limited and are programmed largely in 2009.
One of the major equipment purchases in the plan is a $1.25 million ladder truck for the
City’s fire department. The current truck was purchased in 1981 and has reached its
useful life. Many of the parts for the vehicle are no longer made and/or difficult to find.
The Public Works Department has had to fabricate several parts on the truck in order to
keep it running. This truck cannot be purchased with impact fee funds since it is a
replacement vehicle; therefore the city will purchase it with General Fund money. Our
plan is to lease the truck and make annual interest payments over a 15-year period.
Some of the other important topics of discussion we will have over the next few weeks is
the disposition of revenue from the recent recreation levy, our plan for adding more fire
stations, and issues associated with inflow and infiltration. You will see in the Fire
Impact Fee fund the plan shows construction of station #3 and #4 and the annual debt
service requirements to construct these facilities. During our review we will focus on our
1 South Sandusky Street • City Hall Delaware, OH 43015 p: 740-203-1200 f: 740-203-1224

Ohio
current need for these stations and our strategic approach. Also, we will discuss the
amount of recreation levy dollars that will be available from the levy and the timing and
possible projects that may be funded by this source of revenue. As we discuss public
utilities projects we will focus on our current problems with storm water infiltrating our
sewer system and impacting our wastewater operation and how we are addressing this
issue.
As you review the CIP you will see that the format of the 2009-2013 CIP is somewhat
different compared to past years. City staff felt the need to include additional information
in this year’s plan to serve as reference material as City Council reviews and understands
the issues surrounding this year’s plan. We have included three new sections that we may
have only briefly touched on in the past. These new sections include: Glenn Road; tax
increment financing improvements; and the Project Trust Fund. Given the City’s
considerable infrastructure investment in Glenn Road we felt the appropriate forum to
discuss the status of the parkway was CIP review. During our subsequent CIP meetings
we will discuss the details of what the City has spent on Glenn Road, the current
financing mechanisms in place, and our future strategic and financial plan moving
forward. Given the current state of the economy and its effect on the residential housing
market the City is taking a cautious and focused spending approach to the Glenn Road
project until future development commitments are made and identifiable sources of
revenue are apparent. City staff will also be discussing projects that are financially
supported by a portion of developer contributions deposited into the Project Trust Fund
and the operation of this fund. We also want to discuss the city’s involvement with tax
increment financing, what it is, how it works, and what projects are associated with it.
In summary the 2009-2013 CIP is an attempt to balance the very important needs of a
growing community with its limited resources. Over the course of the next several weeks,
city staff and I look forward to reviewing this important proposal with Council.
Yours Sincerely,
R. Thomas Homan
City Manager

Executive Summary
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
City of Delaware
2009-2013
PART I. OVERVIEW
Each annual CIP that is adopted covers a five-year period. In 2008, the City prepared the
2009-2013 CIP. The CIP includes a listing of all the projects, equipment, land purchases,
and vehicles that departments plan to purchase or construct in each of the five years. The
plan also includes detail on available revenue sources to fund the capital expenditures, as
well as explanations on debt levels and debt service commitments. The 2009-2013 CIP
also includes reference to previously approved projects that are carried forward and their
completion schedules.
The City is making strategic efforts with the 2009-2013 CIP to establish clear linkages to
all other business plans, budgets, policies, and day-to-day operations and to develop and
implement a strategic approach to capital planning.
Purpose
The CIP is a planning document that presents a five-year overview of the scheduled
capital projects and equipment needs of the City. The purpose of capital improvement
planning is to review, prioritize and form the link between proposed needs, limited
financial resources, and the guidance in the City’s Comprehensive plan, adopted master
plans, and insight from City Council and the community. A properly prepared capital
plan is essential to the future financial health of the City and continued delivery of
services to citizens and businesses.
Capital planning also positions the City to react strategically to changing dynamics such
as the economy, new development opportunities, changes in the city’s financial
condition, and unforeseen emergency infrastructure problems. The city’s strategic
reaction involves adjusting project costs, project timelines, and possibly adding additional
projects if necessary.
Definition of a Capital Improvement
A capital improvement is a major fiscal expenditure associated with maintaining the
city’s infrastructure. In many cases, these expenditures are project related and typically
are non-recurring. However, in some cases the City does dedicate financial resources on a
recurring basis for capital projects such as road resurfacing, IT equipment;
police/fire/public works vehicles; and sidewalk repairs.
7

A capital expenditure differs from operating budget expenditures. Operating expenditures
include personnel expenses, materials and supplies, and small equipment that involve day
to day operations of the City.
Examples of capital improvements include:
- Acquisition of land;
- Construction or expansion of public facilities, streets, or utility lines;
- Non-recurring rehabilitation of a facility;
- Design work or planning study related to an individual project;
- An item that typically has a useful life of 5 or more years; and
- Replacement and purchase of vehicles
Financial Policies and Guidelines
The city adopted several financial policies and guidelines that serve as a foundation for
capital improvement planning. These policies cover all capital categories in the CIP. The
financial policies related to CIP planning include the following:
The budget will provide for adequate maintenance and repair of capital assets for
their orderly replacement;
The city will develop a five-year capital improvements program on an annual
basis;
The city will enact an annual capital improvement budget based on the multi-year
capital improvements program;
The city will coordinate development of the capital improvement budget with
development of the operating budget;
The city will confine long-term borrowing to capital improvement projects;
When the city finances capital projects by issuing debt, it will repay the debt
within a period not to exceed the expected useful life of the project;
The city will evaluate issuing debt and pay-as-you-go financing to maintain
flexibility for the future;
The city will continually seek to maintain and improve its current bond rating to
minimize borrowing costs and to ensure that access to credit is preserved.
Capital Improvement Planning Process
The City of Delaware’s process of preparing the annual CIP involves the following
departments: Finance, Engineering, Public Works, Public Utilities, Police, Fire, Parks and
8

Recreation, and Information Technology. Prior to the start of the annual CIP planning
process the Finance Department reviews the city’s financial condition and evaluates the
status of projects in the present CIP plan. Concurrently, departments are requested to
submit individual project sheets that cover the project’s description and purpose, provide
justification for the project, and detail project cost estimates.
When developing projects departments do the following: 1) assess the needs for new
facilities or upgrades of existing facilities and infrastructure; 2) review current
regulations and compliance; 3) translate needs into prioritized project proposals and
develop cost estimates; 4) review existing master plans; and 5) develop financing
strategies.
As departments develop their annual CIP submission they are asked to provide a
summary of their project requests and their strategic approach. This involves
summarizing how their projects achieve and align with the long-term goals of the
community, the recommendations of adopted master plans, and how their strategies
address their short-term initiatives that result from operating in a dynamic environment.

PART II. FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Revenues
Projects in the CIP are funded from a variety of sources including general fund income
tax revenues, gas tax revenues, grants, utility fees as well as other revenue sources. The
CIP’s general fund allocation was approximately $1.63 million in 2008. In 2009 the
allocation is $1.7 million, 4.2% higher.

Over the 5 year period from 2009-2013, the total planned general fund allocation is $6.07
million. In 2009, as with all years in the CIP, the majority of city income tax supports
equipment replacement and technology improvements. Equipment replacement includes
vehicles for the Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation, Airport, and Public Works
departments. This can be seen in both Charts 2 and 3 below. Technology improvements
largely include annual computer and copier replacements, network improvements and
dollars allocated for fiber infrastructure.

Expenditures
Chart 4 below shows CIP expenditures by fund for all projects across all funds, including
the general fund. Note in this table total project expenditures do not include debt service
payments in order for the reader to see what costs are actually spent on projects and
equipment. Chart 4 also shows that water fund capacity projects comprise a large
majority of the project dollars in the five-year plan. This is due to the planned expansion
of the water treatment plant. Also across the five-year period notable expenditures are in
the transportation improvement category. This is due primarily for planned expenditures
for the Veteran’s Parkway road project – design which started in 2008.

Chart 5 below shows what percentage of the CIP in 2009 goes for street maintenance and
transportation improvements. The majority of funding for street maintenance comes from
license taxes and motor fuel taxes. The monies are used for general maintenance on the
City’s roads as well as the sidewalk repair program. A large portion of funding for
transportation improvements also comes from Ohio Department of Transportation
(ODOT) funds, Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) allocations, and
federal earmarks.

The Police and Fire Impact Fee Funds are supported by impact fees charged per
development unit. These fees provide funding for vehicles, special equipment, and debt
service on capital construction projects. The CIP shows from 2011-2013 dollars being
allocated for debt service for the construction of additional fire station #3 and #4. No
decision on future construction or location of these fire stations has been made. As seen
in Chart 8 below, police impact fee expenditures over the years are estimated to be fairly
steady. This is due to approximately $88,000 in funds being allocated to pay the debt
service on the Justice Center renovation.

Over the 2009-2013 period, the revenue in the Water Capacity Fund will begin service
primarily debt obligations from projects such as the water treatment plant expansion,
14

Kingman hill water tower, and the Westside transmission line. Though these are
important projects looking in the future there is very little funding for projects unless
development picks up and the city sees and increase in capacity fee revenue. This can be
seen in Chart 9 below. Three large projects programmed out of this fund, mainly in 2009
and 2010, are the Penry Road waterline projects, west side transmission line project, and
the water treatment plant expansion. The case is the same for the Sewer Capacity Fund
where the majority of revenues coming into the fund are going to service debt rather than
projects. Very few projects are programmed in this fund over the 2009-2013 period given
this dynamic.

PART III. GUIDING STRATEGIES
Streets and Transportation
Resurface city streets using a 70/30 split approach - 70% is applied to mill and fill
and overlays and 30% is applied toward crack seal, slurry seal, and rejuvenator
coatings.
Maintain all arterial roadways, collectors, and local roadways at 70 PCI
(Pavement Condition Index) or above.
Upgrade all public sidewalks intersecting with roads scheduled to be resurfaced to
current American Disabilities Act (ADA) standards which require access for the
physically impaired.
Use the Thoroughfare Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan as a guiding vision
and source of several street and transportation projects.
Pursue additional funding both locally and through the state and federal
government.
Assess the current street infrastructure by monitoring the pavement condition
index (PCI) as a baseline, conducting windshield surveys, and monitoring where
ongoing road maintenance efforts and condition changes.
Maintain and improve upon the city current “good” PCI rating of (68-81).
Implement the use of intermediate pavement maintenance operations such as
slurry seals and asphalt rejuvenator applications to extend the estimated life
expectancy of the pavement surface.
Monitor input from citizen surveys related to road infrastructure and work to
alleviate traffic congestion and maintain streets.
Limit the use of MORPC funds to fund major federal and state route highway
projects.
Municipal Airport
Promote the economic benefit of aviation to the community and strive for self
sustaining operations.
Work to increase the number of based aviation businesses and corporate general
aviation aircrafts utilizing the airfield.
Use the city’s $150,000 annual entitlement funds from the FAA and roll any
unused balances into future years for up to 3 years.
Continue seeking FAA State of Ohio apportionment funds (via ODOT) for
general aviation projects.
Consider future applications to ODOT’s $2 million state aviation grant program.
Continue administering an airport TIF fund that accounts for the tax increment
financing real estate payments the city receives from property taxes paid in the
corporate hanger and the private T-hangers constructed at the airport.
17

Implement the recommendations of the Airport Master Plan which include high
priority projects such as expanding the existing apron, constructing T-hangers,
and acquiring land for airport development.
Focus on establishing protection areas to insure continued use of the airfield in the
future.
Seek funding for additional security fencing to protect both public and private
investments as well as reduce wildlife runway incursions.
Continue working on development of a drainage master plan that will be required
by existing storm water regulations to support any additional expansions at the
airport.
Building Maintenance
Continue heat pump replacements at the Justice Center based on industry standard
life cycles.
Reduce facility energy consumption.
Continue to consider centralizing all building maintenance functions so as to
minimize operation resources and establish consistent practices throughout
facility infrastructure.
Equipment Replacement
Maintain and disposal of the majority of city vehicles, trailers and motorized
equipment.
Ensure all department vehicles and motorized equipment are operational and safe
so that they provide routine and emergency services to citizens.
Administer a preventive maintenance program and provide specification services
for new equipment.
Operate a rotary fund and bill city departments for vehicle services rendered;
parts, fuel and materials supplied; and overhead.
Maintain a vehicle replacement schedule that details the original purchase date,
replacement year schedule, and estimated replacement year cost.
Continued consideration of a comprehensive review of the entire fleet inventory
to determine if departmental fleet sizes are greater than required to provide
current services.
Continued consideration of standardizing fleet purchases to assist in reducing
organization fuel consumption, parts inventory, and mechanic training demands.
Parks and Recreation
Focus on construction of Glen Ross Park.
Focus on neighborhood park improvements.
Target general fund dollars for parking lot resurfacing in Mingo, Eastside, and
Smith Park.
18

Use the majority of park exaction dollars in the early years of the CIP plan given
the potential for declining exaction fees considering the current development
climate.
Impact Fee Projects
Collect and spend impact fees in accordance with the City’s ordinance and be
aware of remaining collections that are close to the 5-year rebate provision.
Make required debt service payments in each fund and be aware that without
increasing development levels General Fund dollars may eventually be needed to
cover these payments.
Public Utilities
Consider project finance options from Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC)
and the Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA).
Prioritize water and sewer mains rehabilitation and replacement projects through
the CMMS CityWorks software.
Improve fire flow protection by installing 8” minimum water mains in new
developments and replacing existing lines of less than 8” when water mains are in
need of replacement or upgrades.
Continue small main replacements to improve water quality issues and dead end
water mains by looping water mains in areas that have been determined to have
water quality issues.
Flush dead end water mains to ensure water quality.
Prioritize projects based on those identified in the 2000 Collection System Master
Plan, 1986 Water System Master Plan Study, the 2006 Water Master Plan, the
1998 Storm Sewer Task Force Report/Recommendations, from CCTV data, and
from flooding/basement backup complaints.
Complete the 5 remaining fire flow improvement projects identified in the 1986
Water Master Plan.
Meet the sanitary sewer needs for future development.
Provide extension of water and sewer mains to the City’s southwest corridor to
help facilitate commercial and industrial development.
Take a proactive approach to identifying future water supply and resources
Meet USEPA Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule compliance
by October 1, 2013 by upgrading the water treatment plant rehabilitation and
using membrane plant technology.
Consider the cost associated with the construction of new sewer lines and related
facilities, such as lift stations and force mains – and how much of this cost will be
borne by developers.
Consider the extension of new public sewers to new development areas and the
City’s ability to provide required city services to the new areas.
Comply with the OEPA MS4 Permit.
19

Minimize leachate from the closed landfill that enters the storm water pipe
through the pipe joints in order to minimize notice of violations from the EPA.
Information Technology
Provide system support for all City Departments by determining IT needs,
capabilities, and feasibility.
Coordinate the purchasing, installation, upgrading and monitoring of all
information technology software and hardware.
Maintain an IT rotary fund where each department contributes a determined
amount based on their IT usage and demands.
Maintain a 5-year server replacement schedule and 7-year network equipment
replacement schedule.
Produce bigger servers, but divide the use of the servers into virtual servers,
capable of providing more capacity in fewer machines.
Maintain a data back plan to keep personal information private, have the
capability to recover deleted files, and recover files in the event of a disaster.
Maintain a 4-year PC replacement schedule in order to keep productivity as high

PURPOSE: The Airport Improvement CIP identifies future improvements to the Delaware
Municipal Airport.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funding for these projects comes primarily from FAA grant funds.
The FAA AIP grant represents federal aviation funding which has been allocated to general
aviation airports. Delaware's allocation has been $150,000 per year. It is not known how far into
the future this grant funding will be available. This City also applies for FAA discretionary grant
funds for airport improvements. We do not currently have any discretionary grant funded projects.
The City's general fund covers our share of the grants and other projects that do not receive grant
funding.

Project: Airport Road Relocation – Sawmill Parkway
Description and Purpose:
Design and construction of phase-I of Sawmill Parkway to address Airport Road
vacating from runway relocation.
Department:
Public Works – Airport
Fund:
Airport Improvement Fund
Justification:
The consultant notes that the original arrangement was to extend the existing
Airport Road to US-42 which was to be funded through an FAA grant. This was
proposed until the Master Plan and ALP update was completed and the
disposition of the crosswind runway determined. The master plan and ALP
update is not complete. The crosswind runway was eliminated from the ALP
and Airport road is now shown to be relocated south to a new location. This
schedule is to relocate Airport Rd. in 2009/2010. FAA will fund the Airport
Road relocation in an amount equal to the cost to extend Airport Road as
originally planned, which is estimated at $1,000,000.

2009-2013 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Annual Street Resurfacing
Description and Purpose:
Annual program to maintain the surface course of pavement through mill & fill,
overlay, slurry seal, and asphalt rejuvenator applications to select city streets.
Without adequate funding, the focus of the program continues to be on
preventative maintenance processes on local streets, deferring necessary
surface course replacement until future years.
Department:
Engineering Services & Public Works
Fund:
Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 410)
License Fee (Fund 202)
Inflow/Infiltration (Fund 541)
Justification:
To improve the integrity of city streets for the safety of the traveling public, and
to protect the city from unaffordable projects that involve total replacement of
roadways that results from the lack of adequate preventative maintenance
operations.

37

Recommended Funding:
It is recommended that the funding for this program be gradually increased to
a level that coincides with the calculated amount necessary to properly
maintain the city street network as a whole (according to the city’s pavement
maintenance software and recommendations from experts). Small percentage
of funding is recommended to come from Fund 541 for manhole casting
improvements that are traditionally made part of this project.

The Point Intersection - Phase I Improvements
Description and Purpose:
This project is Phase I of a two phase project. It consists of the realignment of
SR 37 in the eastbound direction to a proposed intersection on US 36
approximately 300 feet west of the existing US 36/SR 37 “The Point”
intersection. As part of the realignment, an eastbound left turn lane will be
included for EBLT to Moore Street. The newly configured intersection on US 36
will include the installation of a mast arm traffic signal, which will replace the
existing traffic signal located at the existing intersection. The intersection will
also include the alignment of a future public road (south leg of the intersection)
along with the necessary widening on US 36 to install a westbound left turn
lane.
Department:
Engineering Services
Fund:
Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 410)
OPWC Round 23/24 SCIP/LTIP grant for 44%
$50,000 County Engineer Funds
Pictures/Images:
40

Justification:
The existing intersection operates at a LOS of E and has an intersection delay
of 69.2 seconds during the peak hours. With these improvements, the LOS will
improve to a C and the intersection delay will be reduced to 29.1 seconds
during the peak hours. The 95 th % Queue Length for westbound US 36/SR 37
will be reduced from 1175’ to 400’ and for eastbound SR 37 it will be reduced
from 720’ to 500’. The installation of the traffic signal at the newly configured
intersection to the west and the removal of the existing traffic signal at the
existing intersection will provide additional westbound US 36 stacking allowing
for the free flow of the westbound SR 37 traffic during most hours of
operation. The improvements will also provide a signalized access point along
with a left turn lane for ODOT, the City Public Works Facility, future business
property, and a future public street connection.
Recommended Funding:
Project was submitted for OPWC Round 23/24 SCIP/LTIP grant funding
assistance. Requested OPWC amount funding is 44% of project cost.
Delaware County has verbally committed $50,000 towards the project.

2009-2013 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
US 36 & Cheshire-Channing Intersection Improvements
Description and Purpose:
The project involves widening US 36 to provide left turn lanes for traffic from
US 36 westbound to Ann Street and Cheshire Street and US 36 eastbound to
Channing Street. Also included is the conversion of Channing Street to “oneway”
to the north and the establishment of a dedicated bus loading zone on the
east side of Channing Street for the adjacent school. The traffic signal at Ann
Street will be removed and a new mast arm signal will be installed at Cheshire
Street and coordinated with an updated mast arm signal at Channing Street.
Department:
Engineering Services
Fund:
Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 410)
OPWC SCIP/LTIP Grant Funding (44% of construction)
$50,000 County Engineer Funds
Justification:
Recent traffic analysis indicates that a signal is warranted at US 36 and
Cheshire Street and a signal is no longer warranted at US 36 and Ann Street.
Left turn movements from US 36 to both Cheshire Street and Channing Street
obstruct through traffic movements, especially during the peak traffic hours.
Travel direction and access changes along Channing Street, between US 36
and Winter Street, are included to improve the safety of the school bus loading
zone and the signal operation at US 36. Most importantly, with the
consideration of other roadway improvements to The Point, the traffic demand
on this intersection will be greater.

US 23 – SR 315 Intersection Improvements
Description and Purpose:
The project will begin with the preparation of a safety study that will include
the U. S. Route 23/State Route 315/Stratford Road Intersection and the U. S.
Route 23/Pollock Road. The realignment of State Route315 and Stratford Road
intersection will be evaluated along with signal retiming for the existing
intersections. If the safety study results in a conclusion that requires
additional preliminary engineering and planning, the consultant will then be
scoped to complete the Steps of the Minor Project Development Process as
directed by the City and ODOT.
Department:
Engineering Services
Fund:
Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 410)
HSP (Highway Safety Program Funds) – $1,156,003
Federal Earmark for US 23 – $850,850
TRC (ODOT Toll Revenue Credits) - $128,445
Justification:
The safety and efficiency of this intersection is critical to the entire US 23
corridor through the city. The project was initially identified by ODOT’s US 23
Access Management Plan as an intersection requiring improvement.
Recommended Funding:
Funding is from a combination of state Highway Safety Project (HSP) Funds,
ODOT earmark funds and Toll Revenue Credits (TRC’s) which are to be applied
to offset the city’s required 20% cost of the R/W and construction costs, and
100% of the design. Project start has been delayed due to ODOT’s requirement
to repeat the consultant selection process. All design expenses are
reimbursable on an as-invoiced basis through ODOT. City will have to fund PE
portion directly, though reimbursement is 100%. R/W, utility relocation and
construction is 100% city funded. Documented TRC, earmark, and HSP funds
allocated to the project total $2,135,298.

Description and Purpose:
Project includes the study, design, and construction of a modified interchange
to provide full movement access between Pennsylvania Avenue and US-23.
Department:
Engineering Services
Fund:
Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 410)
MORPC STP Sub-allocation Funds
Pictures and Drawings:
Justification:
Ongoing study of interchange modifications which commenced in 2005 and
administered through the ODOT 10-Step Minor PDP process. Initial project
study costs are being funded utilizing State STP-M funding through the annual
MORPC allocation toward Delaware.
53

Recommended Funding:
Project continues under preliminary development in the ODOT PDP process for
minor projects. All design expenses are 100% reimbursable through ODOT.
Construction could begin in 2012 and is a candidate for funding split of 80%
MORPC funds (STP) and 20% City funds (as is right-of-way purchase). Based
on the projected 2012 STP available funds to cover remaining environmental
and engineering costs (this project only), approximately $2,600,000 should be
available for right-of-way and construction cost reimbursement. Our current
estimate for right-of-way and construction is $2,875,000 (80% of this amount
is $2,300,000).

Veterans Parkway
Description and Purpose:
Planning, design, and construction of a limited access highway from the US 23
to the intersection of Glenn Road and Mill Run Crossing (as recently defined in
determining the study area with ODOT). Identified as a Tier II project on
ODOT’s TRAC list (PID 80824) – called the Delaware Southeast By-Pass. Project
AKA Alternate #16 from the 2001 Thoroughfare Plan.
Department:
Engineering Services
Fund:
Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 410)
Justification:
Project is identified as a high priority project on the City’s thoroughfare plan by
both the City and County. $4.48 million in federal earmark funds were
authorized in the current SAFETEA-LU Transportation bill supported by U.S.
House of Representative Patrick Tiberi’s office, with up to $4,082,813 Million
available for the project study and design. The City’s 20% matching obligation
for the federal earmark funds is to be offset by ODOT assigned TRC’s (Toll
Revenue Credits).
Recommended Funding:
Project must follow the ODOT 14-Step Project Development Process (PDP).
Project negotiations were completed with professional service contract approved
in June 6, 2008 for $356,491 which has been encumbered through ODOT.
City to front cost of all design work with reimbursement on an as-invoiced
basis. Also, Senator Voinovich, Congressman Tiberi, and Senator Brown all
submitted an appropriation questionnaire for FY 2009 for $38 million in
additional federal earmark request for construction funding, though approval is
unlikely.
Recommended funding for construction is based on assumptions made during
pre-planning process, absent of a preferred alignment. Estimates are provided
only to illustrate the magnitude of the construction costs. Estimates based on
2.6 miles of two-lane “super-two” highway and four (4) bridges.
2013+ costs are shown to capture the magnitude of future additional funds
required for the project construction and it is anticipated that the actual
schedule for construction will be revised to subsequent years.

PURPOSE: The Parks Improvement Fund/ Non-Impact Fee Plan identifies future improvements
to the City's parks and recreation system that cannot be funded from parks impact fees.
FUNDING SOURCES: The projects in this plan are funded by an allocation of the general fund
income tax proceeds. Grant funds are also leveraged when possible to offset the cost to the
general fund. The City also has a parks exaction policy that requires new developers to dedicate
parkland for public recreational purposes of approximately 10% of the acreage developed. In
lieu of the required land dedication, Council may accept cash equivalent to the value of the land
otherwise required to be dedicated. These funds are allocated in this plan.

Project: Gym Floor Replacement
Description and Purpose:
Replace existing gym floor with new tiles, underlayment and molding.
Department:
Parks and Recreation
Fund:
Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 410)
Justification:
The flooring tiles currently in the gym are original to the facility. They are
worn, coming loose in places, and are beginning to pose safety concerns. The
gym has received a large increase in usage with the upgrades at Mingo Park
and the gym floor won’t hold up as is much longer. In order to upgrade
programming, increase the number of activities in the gym, and to maintain
safety the floor needs to be addressed within the next 2 years.

CITY OF DELAWARE
2009-2013 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Project: Smith Park Field Improvements
Description and Purpose:
Improve the fields at Smith Park to improve field conditions and drainage on
each of the four fields. Field improvements needed include bringing in soil and
regarding the infields on each of the four fields. Install dugouts at each of the
four fields (8 dugouts). The dugouts would be built in-house and would be
built using a concrete pad and concrete blocks, with posts going up to a roof.
Currently we only have benches with no dugout fencing or separation. Build
SST Waterless restrooms on the site to provide improved restroom facilities and
to alleviate the on-going rentals of the port-a-johns currently in use. The
waterless restrooms could then be converted once city water reaches Smith
Park.
Department:
Parks and Recreation
Fund:
Capital Improvements Fund (Fund 410)
Justification:
Smith Park is one of our three community parks in Delaware. As a community
park, the appearance and functionality of the park reflects on our entire park
system and image of the city as a whole. It is the home of our adult softball
fields and has the potential to become more of a destination for teams and
tournaments. The field conditions are below average due to drainage issues
and the site as a whole is in need of improvements (dugouts, restrooms) to
provide an environment competitive with those found at other similar facilities
that our players and potential players can access.

Equipment: Police Equipment Replacement
Description and Purpose:
The Police Department’s vehicles are typically replaced before the vehicle
mileage exceeds 90,000 miles and an estimated use of approximately 27,000
miles per year. The Department usually replaces one or two vehicles a year to
avoid large capital expenditures. This incremental approach minimizes down
time for cruiser transition, excessive maintenance expenses and a more
systematic approach to fleet replacement. Also, the addition of new cruisers is
consistent with anticipated increases in the work load and work force. In
addition to standard cruiser replacement, the Department plans to replace the
Chief’s vehicle and CSO Vehicle in 2009, and one of the current detective
vehicles in 2010.

Project: Parks and Recreation Equipment Replacement
Description and Purpose:
The Parks and Recreation Department uses various pieces of equipment for
special park projects as well as park mowing. Prudent replacement of
equipment allows for optimum usage and minimizes lost time in repairs and
service issues with damaged or inoperable equipment.
Department:
Parks and Recreation
Fund:
Equipment Replacement Fund (Fund 440)
Justification:
Replacement of parks and recreation department vehicles and equipment is
based on estimated useful life, service needs, and mileage limits. Out-front
mowers are highly maneuverable and designed to meet the varied and
demanding conditions found in the City’s park system. Many of these models
include hydraulic mower lifts, have shaft driven mowers and transmission and
have power steering. In most conditions, they out-mow larger decked mowers
due to their mowing speed tolerance, maneuverability (less trimming) and
versatility. The purchase of a fourth mower is the result of increasing mowing
acreage and the loss of productivity in loading and unloading mowers,
transporting across town, etc. Having a fourth mower will allow for split
mowing crews when efficiency would benefit. The 45 HP and 55 HP tractors
have high powered engines with high torque and will be used for a variety of
projects such as excavation, hauling, leveling, plowing, etc. The ¾ Ton Pick-up
and 1 Ton Dump Truck purchases are replacement for current inventory that
will all be 10 years old or older at time of replacement.

Annual Server and Network Equipment Purchases and Replacements
Description and Purpose:
Annual Server and Network Equipment Purchases and Replacements. The IT Department maintains a
scheduled replacement of all servers in the City of a maximum of 5 years of service to the City for front-line
services. Once a server reaches this age, the machine may be utilized in a reserve role, or its service to the City
terminated, depending upon the condition of the hardware. A similar plan is in effect for Network equipment,
although that equipment may be used effectively for up to 7 years, at present.
Department:
IT Department

Justification: Please list any supporting goals, principles, objectives and strategies:
In 2009, we have scheduled the removal from service of 6 servers. The functionality of each of these servers will
require replacement. The City’s server capacity strategy is to purchase bigger servers, but to divide the use of
the servers into virtual servers, capable of providing more capacity in fewer machines. The servers targeted for
retirement in 2008, 6 in all, were replaced by 2 physical servers. Those two physical servers still have capacity to
provide more services, and are being utilized in the implementation of additional software systems, such as that
for the Planning/Development Department.
In this category also comes additional disk capacity within the City. The City currently has 13 terabytes of data
storage capacity. Of this, more than 50% is currently in use in some way. IT intends to extend the City’s data
storage capacity, and evaluate disaster recovery systems, and off-site storage in order to continue to provide
adequate file storage to the City.
With respect to Network Equipment, the City continues to build some network redundancy, particularly between
City Hall and the Justice Center. This requires the purchase of an additional router, so that connectivity can be
mirrored across the fiber. With 911 consolidation, it may become critical to have two different pathways to the
Justice Center by fiber, so that remote operations are possible.
Backup of City Data, including High Value Data. The City now has a strategic plan for the consolidated storage
of general information, and for High Value Data—so that all data in the City can reside, in a backup form, in one
location. There are two synergistic goals of this strategy: (1) the desire to keep High Value Data (SSNs, personal
information, etc.) private, and (2) to have a reliable off-site storage mechanism with an easy method to both
recover deleted files, and to recover in the event of a disaster (DR). This strategy calls for the implementation of
a mirrored hard drive solution at the new Public Works facility, and/or a major robotic tape library installed at the
new Public Works facility.
Changes and Updates:
Public Records laws will require greater availability of information to the public. Without some sort of
consolidation of information, the City may have difficulty in complying with these new laws.

Police Department AS/400 Replacement
Description and Purpose:
Police Department AS/400 Replacement. The City’s Police Department currently utilizes the CHIEFS software
system, which can only successfully reside on IBM AS/400 mid-range computers. The current AS/400 is
approximately 7 years old.
Department:
IT Department
References, Appendices, Images:
Justification: Please list any supporting goals, principles, objectives and strategies:
In 2007, the City spent approximately $8,000 in order to extend the life of the City’s AS/400 computer system.
The system, which is now beyond end-of-life from a manufacturer’s perspective (IBM no longer supports the
machine), will eventually fail. While these machines are true workhorses among computers, if the Police
Department intends to continue to use the CHIEFS software system, will need to be replaced.

PC Replacements
Description and Purpose:
PC Replacements
Department:
IT Department
References, Appendices, Images:
Justification: Please list any supporting goals, principles, objectives and strategies:
Commonly, technology used by users in the City will last 3 to 5 years, with those using 5 years having
significantly fewer abilities to get high productivity out of their pcs as those using 3 year or younger equipment.
We attempt to replace all pcs within a 4 year cycle in order to keep productivity as high as possible from a
technology point of view.
Changes and Updates:
Each year, the City typically identifies from 30 to 40 computers which are the highest need candidates for
replacement.
The City is currently investigating installation of “Thin Client” computers, rather than pcs for most departmental
users. The primary advantages to this approach are: (1) lower cost of replacement (at a certain point), (2)
lower cost of deployment, (3) standardized user experiences, (4) lower cost of antivirus and other
management software systems, (4) lower energy cost, (5) longer lifecycle, (6) lower maintenance cost of
machines (no moving parts). In order to achieve this, we have to acquire additional servers (about 1 for each
25 users). In the long term, it should mean overall lower operating cost for all departments except
Engineering, and possibly planning and GIS, where high-end graphics capabilities are required.
For the next several years, the IT Department will be purchasing a combination of PCs and Servers/thin client
computers within the PC Replacement line item. This will permit the City to take as large an advantage from
the thin client implementation perspective, while still taking into consideration the trade-offs associated with
thin client computing.
Also included in this Project are Laptops, Monitors, Peripherals, and Projectors.
Not included in this Project, are replacements for printers, which are not contained in any CIP Project.

Fiber Infrastructure
Description and Purpose:
Fiber Infrastructure; City and Consortium fiber infrastructure projects. This project is meant to develop fiber optic
infrastructure in furtherance of the City’s IT needs, and economic development.
Department:
Information Technology
References, Appendices, Images:
Justification: Please list any supporting goals, principles, objectives and strategies:
The City has committed to building a city-wide fiber infrastructure for use by the City, and as an economic
development tool. City Council agreed that the fiber optic infrastructure should be considered on the same level as
other infrastructure assets here in the City of Delaware. Cities which are currently experiencing growth, typically
have made significant investment in fiber technology.
Changes and Updates:
To date, 2008 has seen little change in the fiber optic infrastructure itself, here in the City of Delaware. Legal
documents for the formation of the Consortium entity, Delaware Area Super Highway (D.A.S.H.) have been drafted.
However, absent external funding of some kind from DASH members, the infrastructure will not be able to be
completed.
In 2009 and beyond, we hope to work closely with the Public Works Department to develop in-house expertise at
creating fiber-ready infrastructure. That is, we hope to be able to perform all aspects of building fiber infrastructure,
from burying conduit, installing handholes, and pushing fiber, except for fiber terminations.

Copier Replacement
Description and Purpose:
Copier Replacement
Department:
IT Department
References, Appendices, Images:
Justification: Please list any supporting goals, principles, objectives and strategies:
With the implementation of the fiber optic network, the new telephone system, and unified messaging, it is paramount
that we maintain current technology in our copier systems. We now utilize copiers as printers and scanners, as well as
photocopy machines. IT’s plan for maintaining current technology was primarily implemented in 2007 with the purchase
of 14 current technology copiers. These copiers permit the City to take advantage of the power of the unified
messaging systems we have in place by permitting all users in the City to use copiers as scanners, saving files to the
network, and faxing directly from their PCs.
By implementing these changes, the City has begun to experience lower operational maintenance cost.
The funding in this project is to pay the payments on a Capital Lease, which is the method used to make the purchase
of the copiers in 2007.

Department:
Public Utilities Department
Fund:
Water Construction Fund (Fund 531)
Justification:
Water line to fill in gaps of water service along Rt. 23 N to allow taking the old
16” water transmission main out of service. Existing 16” water main has been
in continuous service since 1889 and its useful life has been surpassed.
Repairs to this 16 inch main are costly, difficult, and temporarily impairs the
Water Plant capability to provide the necessary flow rates required.
Improvements for this project are defined in the 1986 Water System Master
Plan study.

Fund:
Water Construction Fund (Fund 531)
Justification:
Program is needed to increase life of existing plant. The water plant was built
in 1930’s and has been upgraded several times. A recent condition assessment
showed that the current facilities are not suited for expansion or upgrade. The
original concrete structures will require partial repair / reconstruction due to
age, several unit processes do not meet current EPA design standards, building
code violations have been identified, and the current plant is located within the
Olentangy River flood plain.

The project consists of securing professional services to locate, identify, and
repair various sources of infiltration and inflow found in the sanitary sewer
system. Infiltration and inflow cause’s sanitary sewer backups into homes and
increases flow to the WWTP. These flows decrease capacity of the WWTP and
cause OEPA permit violations. This program has been in effect for the past 4
years and has made significant reductions in local infiltration and inflow
problems. (grouting, sliplining)

CITY OF DELAWARE
2009-2013 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Project: Catch Basin Replacement
Fees for replacement of catch basins within the City’s storm water system. A
catch basin (a.k.a., storm drain inlet, curb inlet) is an inlet to the storm drain
system that typically includes a grate or curb inlet where stormwater enters the
catch basin and a sump to capture sediment, debris and associated pollutants.
Catch basins act as pretreatment for other treatment practices by capturing
large sediments. The performance of catch basins at removing sediment and
other pollutants depends on the design of the catch basin (e.g., the size of the
sump), and routine maintenance to retain the storage available in the sump to
capture sediment.
Department:
Public Utilities
Fund:
