From: George J. Proakis, City Manager��

RE: Fiscal Year 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program
Pursuant to the provisions of the Watertown Home Rule Charter, the attached City Council
Resolution on the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Process, and the City Council Resolution on
Watertown's Ongoing Capital Project Budget Guidelines, I herewith present the Proposed Fiscal
Year 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
The proposed Fiscal Year 2024-2028 General Fund CIP totals $245,741,100. The general
obligation bonding requirement for the Fiscal Year 2024-2028 CIP is $161,394,300.
As you are aware, the Capital Improvement Program is the method used to realistically show
relatively expensive and higher -cost equipment and projects that need to be planned to ensure
the City's infrastructure is adequately maintained.
Background
While it is easy to not fund maintenance repairs and equipment replenishment until something
either falls down or stops running, this is poor planning, for at least two reasons:
1. It does not reflect the true cost each year of an item.
2. By maintaining buildings and equipment in good repair, the useful life of the item can be
extended at a reasonable cost. Many communities wait until buildings, vehicles or
equipment are in such a state of disrepair that a major overhaul, repair, or replacement is
required at much greater expense.
Therefore, to maintain and improve its infrastructure, facilities, and equipment, the City should
expect to make annual capital expenditures of at least 7.5% to 8% of the General Fund budget.
A capital item is an asset with a useful life of at least two years and a purchase price of at least
$15,000. Items costing less than $15,000 are included in the operating budget. In addition,
items that are labeled "TR" or "tax revenue" are included both in the CIP (because of their
relatively large expense) and in the "Capital Outlay" lines of the operating budget for the
relevant departments.
The attached document is the Proposed Fiscal Year 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program.
In the coming days we will update our projected debt chart to reflect this updated plan. Please
note that, as we review financing, if we find that we are unable to afford all of the items in the
early years of the CIP, some items may need to be adjusted, delayed, or removed from the
chart.
Parker Annex Building
An exciting addition to the 2024-2028 Capital Plan is our new office building, the former Parker
School, which we are calling the Parker Annex Building. While we now own this new asset, it
comes with several new capital items to ensure that it remains in a state of good repair and
meets the City's needs for additional office space. There are some items that need to be
addressed this fiscal year, including but not limited to:
1. Carpet, painting, and minor wall relocations for office space.
2. Initial investment in providing network access to City departments in the building.
3. Regrading, repaving, and restriping the parking lot in order to create ADA-compliant
parking spaces.
4. Design costs for a fire suppression system, the installation of which is proposed in the
CIP in Fiscal Year 2024.
We will submit a funding request in the coming weeks so that we can begin to address these
items as soon as possible.
There are additional upgrades in the next five years identified in the CIP under a new Parker
Annex Building category. The IT department category is also impacted, with additional
technology upgrades required for the new building.
A Note about Inflation
After many years of low interest rates and steadily escalating costs, the past year has seen
significant increases in construction costs. This has already impacted some of the Fiscal Year
2023 CIP items as they have gone to bid in the past year. We anticipate that the rate of inflation
will slow, but costs are unlikely to come down. Therefore, several cost estimates have been
adjusted accordingly this year in anticipation of higher costs. We also continue to monitor
interest rates on municipal bonds for their impact on city borrowing.
2
Long-range Planning
As with all forecasts, the Proposed Fiscal Year 2024-2028 CIP may change, due to long-range
planning efforts. In particular, we have focused on a few areas where forthcoming change may
have an impact on CIP strategies.
Parks and Open Space
Included with this memo is a new schedule for parks and open space projects. This schedule is
designed to address recent questions about the schedule of projects that are currently in
design. Parks projects are a significant part of the list of proposed loan orders from previous
years. To provide a full perspective and to get these projects back on track, we have begun
working with three different landscape design firms and will likely seek a fourth firm to work for
the City on the Walker Pond site. While this will accelerate the work on park and open space
improvements, the projects still need to be lined up in a way that ensures adequate time for
public involvement in design, resources and staffing for construction administration, and access
to fields for school and recreation programs. The schedule on page 9 is designed to address
those concerns and is consistent with numerous items confirming and reconfirming parks and
open space investments from prior year CIPs.
Additional Studies
In the forthcoming year, we will seek to undertake studies that may have an impact on the later
years of the Plan. These studies are:
1. City Building Use and Space Study: This was recently supported by a budget amendment
approved by the City Council. This study will look at the Parker School, City Hall, and
Phillips School/Senior Center campuses to ensure that we are placing the right uses in
the right places. Capital repair items for the Phillips School and Senior Center may
change based upon the results of this study. This study incorporates the Phillips School /
Senior Center feasibility work identified in Fiscal Year 2023-2027 CIP recommendation
#23.
2. Watertown Square Plan: The CIP includes $1 million in funds in Fiscal Year 2024 for the
police station to most likely be demolished. Funds for a new building on this site have
been removed. This strategy is consistent with the recommendation from the Economic
Development & Planning Committee after reviewing the options for this building per
Fiscal Year 2023-2027 CIP recommendation #29. The plan will look holistically at the
Watertown Square area, will identify and refine future uses in the area and will identify
potential future uses of the former police station site that may be appropriate to
address in a future capital plan. Additional funds for streets, sidewalks, and parking lot
upgrades may also be required if these improvements are identified in the plan.
3
3. Heating / Cooling Systems Analysis: The CIP identifies nearly $4.5 million of HVAC work
for multiple buildings. The proposed Fiscal Year 2024 operating budget will include
funding for a study of all City buildings that do not have a newly installed HVAC system
to determine the useful life of the existing equipment and, consistent with the Resilient
Watertown Climate and Energy Plan, plan for upgrades to more energy -efficient systems
such as air -source or geothermal heat pumps. This study could affect the following CIP
items in future years and could also generate new CIP items:

4. Fleet Electrification and Replacement & Vehicle Charaina Infrastructure Studies: The
proposed Fiscal Year 2024 operating budget will include funding for a systematic
assessment of all City -operated vehicles (except for fire apparatus) with the primary
goals of establishing replacement schedules for these vehicles and, consistent with the
Resilient Watertown Climate and Energy Plan, identifying vehicle electrification
opportunities. It will also include funding for a study to identify the electric vehicle
infrastructure needed to support the City's transition to a more electrified fleet as well
as provide EV charging stations for resident use at City buildings. This study could affect
the following CIP items in future years and could also generate new CIP items:

5. Comprehensive Plan: As you are aware, Watertown is currently updating the citywide
Comprehensive Plan. While we are not yet able to identify CIP items that may be
impacted or required by the plan at the end of the process, there may be necessary CIP
updates in coming years to implement the comprehensive plan.
Community Preservation Funds
CPA funds are distributed after a vote from the Community Preservation Commission (CPC) and
the City Council. Due to the important advisory role of the CPC, the CIP will not identify an item
as CPA funded until the CPC has approved such an item. But, there are a few items in the CIP
this year marked as "TBD" that could be funded with CPA funds, if approved by the CPC. These
include:
1. Gazebo at Saltonstall Park ($900,000 in Fiscal Year 2024)
2. Bike Path — Waverley Avenue to Main Street ($500,000 in Fiscal Year 2024)
3. Design and Construction at Walker Pond ($250,000 in Fiscal Year 2024 and $2.5 million
in Fiscal Year 2025)
Unfunded Items
In addition to the items listed above for which we will seek community preservation funds, the
funding sources of the following items have not been determined and are identified as TBD:
1. Former North Branch Library Renovation/Reuse ($1.1 million in Fiscal Year 2024)
2. Multi -Service Center Renovation ($500,000 in Fiscal Year 2024)
Grant Funds
In the last twelve months, our state and federal government have proposed several new grant
opportunities that could be beneficial to Watertown. We are grateful to our state delegation
for securing a $900,000 grant towards the work at Saltonstall Park and to our federal delegation
for securing $240,000 to install 15 stormwater tree trenches. We are monitoring state efforts
around dedicated funds and new state programs that will hopefully come from the incoming
Governor's administration. We are also seeking potential opportunities for direct local grants of
funds under the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill and the Inflation Reduction Act (which
includes numerous grants for energy efficiency and climate priorities).
As you are aware, the Honorable City Council is working to address the use of the $10.5 million
in federal funds that the City received through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA).
These funds may be used for a variety of purposes, but many capital items qualify to use ARPA
funds, including improvements to drinking water, wastewater and stormwater systems, and
expanded access to broadband.
A
School Department
The Fiscal Year 2024-2028 CIP includes funding of various school improvements totaling
$106,977,000 over the next five fiscal years. The breakdown of these improvements are
as follows:
New High School Project
$100,000,000
Cunniff School Projects
$275,000
Hosmer School Projects
$455,000
Lowell School Projects
$60,000
Middle School Projects
$2,957,000
High School Furniture
$125,000
Phillips School
$1,995,000
District
$1,110,000
TOTAL
$106,977,000
The School Department CIP includes funds for projects on two recently opened elementary
schools. Some of these items are important for the operation of these new schools, but have
not been, to date, included in the scope of the original school construction project. They have
been placed in the CIP in forthcoming years to ensure that each year's school capital projects
operating budget remains in the $300k to $400k range. Per Fiscal Year 2023-2027 CIP
recommendation #24, this capital appropriation request in Fiscal Year 2023 was approved at
$310,000.
In the event that these schools finish under budget, additional project budget may replace tax
revenue to cover items on the CIP in these new buildings that were not in the original project
scope but are nonetheless related to the original project. These include such items as audio
systems, wallpaper/decals, cell communication enhancements at the two elementary schools
as well as the north parking lot swing gate, power shades and shade structure above the
playground at the Hosmer School. In the alternative, funds from the Fiscal Year 2023 School
Capital Projects operating budget may also be able to be repurposed for these topics, thereby
accelerating their completion.
The School Department CIP also includes funds for work at the Phillips School, and that
information may change as a result of the outcome of the forthcoming City Building Use
and Space Study. This larger study including the Parker Annex and the Administration
Building will incorporate the Feasibility Study for the Phillips School / Senior Center site
per Fiscal Year 2023-2027 CIP recommendation item #23.
The Honorable City Council's Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Policy Guideline II.C. reads as
follows:
Continue support for Building for the Future Initiative funding in collaboration with the
School Building Committee, for the Three Elementary Schools project, and for the
MSBA High School project, without debt exclusion funding.
7
Based on that Budget Policy Guideline, $100 million for the New High School Project has
been included in the CIP in Fiscal Year 2024, which is in addition to the $100 million that
was in the previous CIP in Fiscal Year 2023, both of which are consistent with the
Council's approval of a $200 million loan order in 2022.
CIP memos from previous years include a robust introduction to the history and schedule
of the Building for the Future Initiative, and the administration can provide that
information to the Honorable City Council upon request.
Streets and Sidewalks
Street and sidewalk maintenance is one of the top priorities in the Honorable City Council's
Fiscal Years 2009 through 2024 Budget Policy Guidelines. Within the Fiscal Year 2024-2028 CIP,
$72,855,600 is designated for street and sidewalk improvements. This includes the Mt. Auburn
Street corridor project, which is substantially covered by state transportation funding. Local
funds for non -participatory work, land acquisition, and project lay-down/storage space are
included in the CIP. The CIP also includes a new item for ornamental street lighting.
Chapter 90 funds are increased to $375,000 per year.
Locally funded projects including the connector roads/long streets project as well as locally
funded highway reconstruction and sidewalk reconstruction have all been increased to reflect
higher construction costs. The CIP also recommends adding another year of funding for
underground duct work in Fiscal Year 2028.
Parks and Recreation Proiects
The City has undertaken, with the support of the Honorable City Council, significant parks and
open space upgrades and improvements through the CIP in recent years. With the arrival of the
pandemic, the uncertainty around the recession and supply chain challenges, many of these
projects are behind schedule. To ensure that we are working towards a common schedule for
project completion, I recommend that the Honorable City Council confirm a new schedule for
parks completion. This schedule is aggressive but achievable, as long as there are no financing,
operational, or staffing challenges that limit the ability to complete this schedule. It will ensure
that we have excellent park facilities, while providing adequate space for our recreation
programs during construction. This is consistent with Fiscal Year 2023-2027 CIP
recommendation #30, suggesting that construction phasing be consistent with citywide field
usage needs. Recommendation #30 also suggested an assessment of the turf at Victory Field.
This will be addressed in a forthcoming memo and recommendation to the City Council.
Consistent with Fiscal Year 2023-2027 CIP recommendation #31, the special needs
baseball/softball diamond remains on the CIP and has been moved to 2025 while we work to
determine if there is an appropriate site in Watertown for this very meaningful community
investment.

Resolution: Watertown's Ongoing Capital Pn•oject Budget Guidelines
WHEREAS the Town Council adopts budget policy guidelines each year pursuant to
Section 5-1 of the Watertown Home Rule Charter, so that the Town Manager cats
develop budgetary goals and the Town budget for the next fiscal year, and
WHEREAS in the Fiscal Year 2014 budget policy guidelines, Attachment A

use the Town's capital project fluids in the most efficient manner, and to improve the
efficiency and transparency of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process, and
WHEREAS these recommendations have become standard operating procedure for the
Town of Watertown, and do not need to be revised each year.
Kenneth M. Woodland NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that tine Town Council of the City -known as
District D Councilor tine Town of Watertown hereby establishes the following recommendations on capital
projects as permanent budget policy guidance, to be followed annually:
1. Status of existing capital fluids and projects: As part of the January CIP submission by the
Town Manager, include from each departnnent, a listing of all existing unspent capital
finds (including Chapter 90, developer mitigation, grant funds, etc.) and a status on each
project or acquisition, including how and when remaining funds will be spent, effective
November 30th.
a. Include project funds appropriated by the Town Council to the School Department.
b. Include Water/Sewer Enterprise Fund reporting of capital projects &fluids as a new
section of the CIP separate from the General Fund.
2. Details on new projects: As part of the January CIP submission by the Town Manager,
provide details for all items in the CIP that have been previously shown as annual lump
sums in a single line.
a. Include the School Department's "various school improvements".
b. Include "highway reconstruction" and "sidewalk reconstruction", with a forecast of
streets to be done each year.
c. Include Water/Sewer Enterprise Fund capital projects as a new section of the CIP
separate from the General Fund, with a forecast of streets to be done each year.
d. Include transportation or water/sewer and stornnvater projects which have or will be
proposed in the firiure, with no funding source yet identified.
3. Coordination Issues Related to Public Works projects: The increasing volume and
complexity of public works projects requires a rethinking of how the Town does its
planning to maximize the use of capital funds and departmental resources, as well as
providing information to the public in a timely, readily accessible fashion.
a. To this end, the CIP needs to have a five-year forecast of what water/sewer/storinwater,
road reconstruction, and sidewalk reconstruction are planned, by specific street, which
will:
i. Insure that work is sequenced to obtain the maximum life from road and sidewalk
reconstruction without major water/sewer work compromising their integrity.
ii. Allow utility companies adequate time to plan underground service replacements prior to
road and sidewalk reconstruction, to avoid compromising their integrity.
iii. Allow time for the Zoning Enforcement Office to notify property owners of non-
conforming driveways, while giving the owners adequate time to seek a variance.
iv. Allow developers time to plan their projects in coordination with the Town, and avoid
digging up newly installed roads and sidewalks.
v. Allow abutting homeowners, who may want to pay for granite curbs on streets scheduled
for asphalt curbs, time to arrange contracting and payment.
vi. Allow time for the Tree Warden to notify abutters who may want a street tree in front of
their property, to allow for the placement of a tree pit prior to the installation of a new
sidewalk.
vii. Provide more transparency to citizens on public works projects and spending.
viii. Allow the Public Works Conrrnittee or other appropriate committee adequate time to
review the proposed work and provide policy guidance on the above as it relates to
Watertown's goals.
b. Issues of coordination and timing need to be improved to insure the most efficient use of
fluids, and bonding of annual street construction projects should be coordinated with
bidding such.that contractors can begin by April and be completed by November.
c. The Public Works Department should address, on an ongoing basis:
L Assure adequate supervisory capacity to eliminate decision bottlenecks and improve
timeliness of responses for construction work.
ii. Notification to the public of wbat construction is happening and where and when it will
occur must be improved, and should be available on the website and updated regularly.
iii. Improve completion of punch list items on projects needs to be improved, including
painting of roadway markings, installation of traffic signs, removal of temporary
construction signs, cleanup of construction debris, etc.
4. Protection of investirients: With millions of dollars being spent each year in Watertown
on street and sidewalk construction, the administration should take a more aggressive
role to protect the value of these investments to insure that maximum life is obtained
from the new surfaces.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution shall be incorporated by reference
into the annual budget policy uidelines that are adopted each year.
