Introduction


BUDGET PROCESS INTERNAL PROCESS The budget is prepared each year using the requirements and guidelines of the Town of Parker Charter, State of Colorado budget law and the Government Finance Officers Association. The steps that occur during the annual budget cycle are as follows:

• Town goals are developed or reaffirmed by the Town Council. Budget requests must state how they meet some or all of the goals.

• Specific budget requests are completed by the departments for the purpose of identifying

and justifying additional funding for new staff or equipment. Requests are also received for special projects and changes to other line items.

• The Town executive management team reviews each budget request and proposed

compensation increases and makes a recommendation to the Town Council through the Town Administrator. Study sessions throughout the process are held to inform and seek the input of the Town Council and adjustments are made as necessary.

• A proposed budget must be submitted to the Town Council by October 15. The Town Council must then hold two public hearings with one of those by November 15 and adopt the budget and the annual appropriations by December 15.

• A summary of changes between the proposed and adopted 2021 budgets has not been

presented in this document. While there was considerable conversation regarding revenue and expense levels, Town Council passed the 2021 budget as originally presented.

CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT IN THE BUDGET PROCESS Citizen involvement is a way of making decisions that ensures the participation of the people affected by those decisions. The proposed budget and detailed justifications for capital outlay and staffing additions are made available on the Town’s website prior to adoption. Through the Talk of the Town newsletter, social media and online communication, interested citizens are made aware that the proposed budget is available online for their review and they are invited to provide feedback regarding the proposed budget. Two public hearings are held as Council considers the annual budget adoption. Prior to adoption of the budget, the Town holds several study sessions which are open to the public. At these meetings, Council and staff openly discuss budget requests, including proposed major capital projects and new staff positions, capital outlay and special project items.

BUDGET MESSAGE January 12, 2021

To the Honorable Mayor, Members of Town Council and Citizens of the Town of Parker: On behalf of the Town of Parker staff, I am pleased to present the Town of Parker’s 2021 Annual Budget. This budget is the result of collaborative work between our Town Council, staff and community. I am appreciative and proud of the hard work that everyone has done to accomplish such a thoughtful and fiscally sound budget. The Town Council adopted the proposed budget on November 16, 2020, following a comprehensive process by staff, as well as discussions with Council at study sessions and a full-day budget retreat. As transparency and community engagement are essential to the Town’s work, the budget was also posted on the Town’s website and presented during two public hearings, allowing for community feedback. While 2020 was an unprecedented year with a wide array of challenges -- many of which we haven’t seen in our lifetimes -- our staff, community and Town Council rose to the occasion and met these challenges head-on. This year, our strategic goals were even more important in guiding our budget priorities and operations. Town of Parker Strategic Goals • Promote a safe and healthy community • Innovate with collaborative governance • Enhance economic vitality • Foster community creativity and engagement • Support an active community • Develop a visionary community through balanced growth During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Town ensured that the core functions continued and that the employees were working in a safe environment with the goal of continuity of operations while adhering to the guidelines established by our local and state health agencies. Our fiscal policies and strategic planning ensured that we were able to continue to provide our community’s core services and enabled us to meet any financial challenges resulting from COVID-19. Our Emergency Management Team coordinated through the Police Department to distribute supplies, masks and equipment to Town Departments throughout the COVID pandemic response. All Town Departments collaborated on a comprehensive plan for the COVID-19 pandemic to keep our employees safe and still provide the response, communication and services our residents and businesses needed. Innovation was a key focus this year as we met the needs of and engaged our community in new and innovative ways. In order to provide safe continuity of services, our Building Inspectors transitioned to virtual services during the pandemic, and our Planning and Engineering staff used Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget

Introduction


BUDGET MESSAGE (con’t) virtual meetings to review documents. We created a Temporary Patio Extension Program to assist local businesses and help them continue operating during the COVID-19 pandemic by allowing them to expand into adjacent parking areas, sidewalks and yards. The Town processed and approved 23 business applications to enable them to expand and maintain business operations despite COVID-19 restrictions. Town Council meetings and study sessions were made available virtually so our community could continue to stay involved and informed. The Town provided easy online opportunities for residents to stay involved through live streaming of Town Council and Planning Commission meetings, downloadable digital resources and an enhanced social media presence. From our fun Porch Party Series and Police Department Birthday Parades to the Virtual Turkey Day 5K and Drive-In Trivia events, we kept our community engaged. Our Parks and Recreation and Cultural Departments offered online classes and workshops. “Let’s Talk Parker,” our innovative community engagement platform, which allows community members to interact with staff and access information on important Town topics, saw 16,000 visits in 2020. Thanks to these efforts, Parker and the surrounding community continue to be highly regarded in several areas related to overall quality of life, including safety, health and wellness. Among the accolades received by our community in 2020 were: • No. 2 - Best Places to Live in America (Money.com) • No. 2 – Healthiest Communities in America – Douglas County (U.S. News & World Report) • No. 5 – Safest Cities to Live in Colorado (Home Security Advisor) • No. 24 – Best Small Cities in America (WalletHub) Additional 2020 Town Accomplishments include: • Received the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 2019 Comprehensive Annual Finance Report. • Received the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the 2020 Budget. • For the first time, the 2020 Budget received special recognition for the capital section of the budget. Also, during a GFOA webinar presentation, the Town of Parker 2020 Budget was used in five different situations as providing a good example in how to present data. • Completed the H2O’Brien Pool renovation and improvements, including new aquatic play features, pool deck improvements and a remodeled lobby and changing area. • Approved major development projects having an economic development benefit such as Anthology North Segment 1, Big Tool Box commercial, Hess Ranch (Looking Glass) Segment 2A, Douglas 234 commercial, Eisenberg mixed-use and Sportsman’s Warehouse retail. • Completed the final phase (Phase 3) of the Town Way-finding Signage Program, including the installation of Way-Finding Signs along Parker Road after receiving approval from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The purpose of the project is to direct residents and visitors to community destinations such as Downtown, the PACE Center and Salisbury Park. • Installed new traffic responsive operations on Parker Road, including new algorithms and new mid-block counting equipment, in the first phase of the Town’s Responsive Traffic Signal operational equipment and associated signal timings. • Completed improvements of Auburn Hills Community Park which included renovation of the existing sports fields, a new playground and additional trail connections. These improvements Introduction

BUDGET MESSAGE (con’t) were funded by the Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo). • Partnered with the Engineering/Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments to negotiate and obtain a contribution of almost $500,000 from the Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo) for a soft surface multi-use trail in their utility corridor from Latigo Lane to Canterberry Parkway. • Approved a privately developed 17-acre park in Trails at Crowfoot development which will be given over to the Town for public use. • The Chambers and Hess Sub-Area Plan was adopted by Town Council in October 2020 and assessed economic and transportation influences at the intersection of Hess and Chambers Roads, the site of future commercial development. It also established a land use and transportation framework to support future development in this area. • Continued the Land Development Ordinance Modernization through year two (2) of a three (3) year schedule, which will be the first comprehensive update to Town zoning since incorporation in 1981. Major 2020 milestones include the completion of proposed new zoning districts, use and bulk standards and illustrative graphics to support the new standards. This comprehensive update to the Town’s Land Development Ordinance governs all development and, when completed, will align zoning with the Parker 2035 Master Plan, incorporate best practices and modern zoning techniques, and be more transparent and usable for applicants, residents and Town staff. The 2021 budget demonstrates the Town’s continued commitment to advancing our strategic goals, including innovation and partnerships, while focusing on delivering exceptional services and maintaining a vibrant and healthy community. Our staff will also continue to advocate for the Town through the Colorado Sales and Use Tax Simplification Task Force. Through sponsorship of several Town Charter revisions and partnering with the State of Colorado and other municipalities on a sales and use tax system, the Town will most likely see an increase in the collection of sales tax from remote sellers. Acknowledging that the impact of COVID-19 into 2021 is still unknown, we provided in the 2021 budget for deliberate usage of cash balances, creation of a “savings account” for future infrastructure requirements, and limited operations growth. The 2021 budget contains funding for the continuation of existing services and new initiatives. It also includes funding to address Town Council strategic goals and service enhancements. These include: • Contracting for a Facilities Master Plan Study • Funding performance pay increases for staff and the Police Officer Step Plan • Funding a Citizen Survey to gauge citizen satisfaction with Town services Again, I would like to thank the staff and Town Council for the many hours of work and discussion that resulted in this budget that continues to move our community forward in a fiscally responsible manner. I am proud of the organization’s efforts to impact our community in a positive way now and into the future.

Introduction


FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS BUDGET DEVELOPMENT Short Term Factors Impacting Overall Budget Development The major impact to the 2021 budget is the ongoing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The two departmental budgets most directly impacted by the closures and reduced operations in 2020 have been the Cultural and Recreation Departments. These two departments depend on patrons and customers participating in classes and events in person. Both departments also rely on facility rentals as part of their revenue. Revenue estimates, particularly sales tax, were budgeted at relatively low growth rates; however, one of the anomalies of 2020 has been a sales tax growth rate in the range of six percent. Citizens working from home are doing more shopping for household staples in Parker. The number of citizens working from home is expected to continue to be high in the early months of 2021, which should continue to positively impact this growth rate. When employees begin to return to their workplaces, they will most likely go back to shopping near their jobs and communities along their commute, which will pull the growth rate down. When the budget preparation began in mid-2020, it was expected Town services would begin returning to normal in early 2021. A phased-in return to normalcy was used for all departments except for Parks and Recreation. The Parks and Recreation budget was built assuming that revenue would rebound quickly as the recreation team has worked tirelessly to identify outdoor activities and ways to continue indoor events within appropriate safety guidelines. The monthly financials for the Parks and Recreation budget will be monitored closely and if necessary, a budget amendment may be required if the revenues do not return as expected. On the expense side, travel and in-person training are anticipated to continue to be very limited by COVID-19 and as a result, budgets for these areas reflect lower-than-normal appropriations. The annual contingency housed in the Interdepartmental budget was increased by $50,000 in case travel restrictions are lifted earlier than expected. A final factor impacting the budget development is the overall strong financial position of the Town as evidenced by its robust cash reserve levels, its ability to set aside funds for the renewal and/or replacement of Town-owned assets and the sustained level of capital project activity. Therefore, other 2021 appropriations reflect regular ongoing operations, as it has not been necessary to reduce planned operating or capital expenditures.

Budget Objective and Priorities Due to the relatively modest impact of COVID-19 on the Town’s financials, the objective of the 2021 budget is to preserve the current level of services to the community while managing increased expenditures within the limited revenue growth. Significant assumptions impacting all funds include the following:

• Conservative, but realistic projection of revenues and expenditures that help to ensure availability of resources to meet budgeted obligations

• • • •

Low inflation with general price increases budgeted at two to four percent Budgeted sales tax revenue growth of three percent for 2021 Both performance pay and commissioned officer step increases budgeted at three percent Mitigation of healthcare cost increases through the addition of two medical plans with reduced medical networks

Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget


FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS INTRODUCTION (con’t) • Limited growth in additional staff positions Four priorities were established for the 2021 budget:

• • • •

Maintenance of required General Fund cash reserves Maintenance and growth of community programs Investment in employees Identification of funding sources for upcoming strategic infrastructure planning

The first three priorities remain in place from the 2020 budget. First, general Fund cash reserves remain a priority as they are a legal requirement and are set by the Council. Second, community programs have continued to grow following expense reductions in 2017 and 2018 that impacted the execution of certain events. Third, the Town continuously strives to provide a competitive compensation plan to attract and retain talented employees who will provide excellent service to the Town’s citizens and further its mission. An employee compensation study was completed in 2019 with the findings implemented in 2020. The fourth priority is new for 2021. The Town is beginning to develop a Facilities Master Plan for repair and/or replacement of Town equipment, facilities and other assets. Strategic planning maximizes the efficiency of Town assets, promotes safety in operations and ensures adequate cash flows to repair or replace items necessary to Town operations. This study is expected to be completed in 2021. The initial funding for projects identified in the plan will come from a surplus of cash in the General Fund. This surplus resulted from expense reductions that were implemented for 2020 when it was expected the Town’s sales tax revenue growth would be limited.

General Fund Sales tax makes up just over 70 percent of the General Fund revenue, so estimating the 2020 projected and 2021 budgeted revenue accurately is key to the overall direction of the 2021 operational and capital budgets. Sales tax growth has fluctuated for several years. Growth was nine percent in 2015, four percent in 2018, six percent in 2019 and is on a current run rate to finish 2020 around five or six percent. With the variability in growth rates, a conservative, yet realistic projection of three percent is being used for 2021. The experience of other Denver area municipalities, local economic projections and continued population growth were all considered in developing the budget. As discussed on the previous page, COVID-19 is expected to have both positive and negative impacts on sales tax revenue growth. The top five General Fund revenue sources, including sales tax, account for approximately 85 percent of the total revenue in the General Fund. Specific 2021 growth rates for those five sources range from one percent for real property taxes to approximately eighteen percent for highway user taxes. Overall, operational revenue growth is budgeted to grow two percent from the 2020 projection and generate $1.1 million in incremental revenue. The Town utilized an incremental approach to budgeting for 2021. An incremental approach uses a base, or existing, budget and adjusts up or down as necessary. Discretionary spending has been reduced significantly through several years of cost cutting, so a base level of expenditures is considered necessary as a starting point. Funding of personnel-related costs, including a three percent increase for performance pay and commissioned officer step plan, medical benefit cost increases and new full-time positions require an additional $1.4 million in expenditures.

11 Introduction


INTRODUCTION FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (con’t) With the expenditure increase basically offsetting the revenue increase, any additional one-time expenditures would be funded through the excess cash balances. The one use of cash in 2021 is a $10.0 million transfer to the Capital Facilities Reserve Fund. The purpose of this fund is for the renewal and/or replacement of aging equipment, facilities and other types of Town assets. With the completion of the Facilities Master Plan in 2021, it is anticipated that there will be a long list of strategic initiatives that will need to be incorporated into a financial plan. This transfer of $10.0 million is the initial funding for those activities. The General Fund required cash reserve remains above the twenty-five percent level with this transfer. During the local 2020 Town Council election, candidates raised the possibility of revising the categories to which sales tax is applied; specifically, they are considering removing the Town’s tax on groceries. If this direction is taken, considerable discussion will need to occur regarding reducing Town services or identifying new/increased revenue options. Any tax increase or new tax source would need to be voted upon by Parker citizens. In summary, the 2021 General Fund budget implements the Town’s three ongoing priorities and the one new priority. The General Fund maintains a twenty-eight percent General Fund cash reserve, including the impact of the $10.0 million transfer to the Capital Facilities Reserve Fund. This is in excess of the twenty-five percent required by the Town Charter. Funding for community programs was also increased, and funding for performance pay and officer pay raises was included.

Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget


FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS INTRODUCTION (con’t) Long Range Financial Plan In order to address the strategic issues facing the Town, a high level Long-Range Financial Plan (Plan) was developed for the General Fund. The Plan includes the 2021 Budget and estimates for years 2022 through 2026. The Plan provides a road map for the Town’s financial future. It is intended to serve as a tool to identify both challenges and opportunities and to provide insight to address issues impacting the financial condition of the Town. The assumptions for the Plan include an overall average growth of three percent each year for total revenue and four percent for total expenditures (excluding the Transfers Out); individual items may be higher or lower than this. With these assumptions, the fund balance dips below the required level of twenty-five percent in 2026. The Town’s departments have already reduced expenditures over the past several years and at some point, there will be a need to reset priorities with the citizens. This chart emphasizes the comments in the Budget Development section that changes in revenue sources may need to be addressed in the coming years.

Note: Interfund transfers are not included

The overall growth in all funds has been an average of nine percent year-over-year. Changes in the Parks and Recreation, Public Improvements, Stormwater Utility, Fleet Services and Medical Benefits all exceed growth rates of ten percent. Capital projects are the primary driver of growth in each of the funds other than the Medical Benefits Fund. Each of those funds operate in environments where large swings may occur in the number of construction projects from year to year. The growth in the Medical Benefits Fund is due to the increased level of employee claims as the Town is self-insured.

GENERAL FUND The General Fund is the main operating fund of the Town. Town operations, which include Police/ Public Safety, Public Works, Building Inspection, Community Development, Municipal Court and Administration (which includes Town Administration, as well as the Communications, Finance and Human Resources Departments) are accounted for in this fund. Total 2021 budgeted revenue is $55.0 million excluding transfers in. The sales tax growth rate began to decline after 2015. The growth rate in 2015 was approximately nine percent and by 2018 it was just over four percent. In 2019 the growth rate broke the downward trend and ended at 6.25 percent. The 2020 projection is just over two percent. To account for this variability in the growth rate, a moderate rate of three percent has been used for the 2021 budget. There may be some tempering of the growth rate once Parker citizens return to their workplaces and are not working from home. Sales tax remittance in the areas of general merchandise and groceries have grown significantly during the pandemic and will most likely return to historical rates as lives return to normal.

Fines and Forfeitures Other Revenue Subtotal Revenue Transfers In Total Revenue

The General Fund receives an interfund transfer from the Parks and Recreation Fund of $1.2 million as a partial offset to the parks and recreation administration costs included in the General Fund. A second interfund transfer of $0.3 million from the Stormwater Utilities Fund offsets work completed by the Public Works Department on behalf of the Stormwater Department. Including these two transfers, revenue is budgeted at a total of $56.5 million. Additional revenue discussion may be found in the Revenue Manual section of this document.

Expenditures by Category Total expenditures are $12.8 million higher in the 2021 Budget as compared to the 2020 Projected Actuals. Most of this variance, $8.8 million, consists of increased Transfers Out. The Transfers Out include a one-time transfer of $10.0 million to the Capital Renewal and Replacement Reserve Fund. This Fund is used to fill budgetary gaps related to the renewal and/or replacement of aging equipment, facilities and other types of assets. The Town will be completing a Master Facilities Plan during 2021, and it is expected there will be a considerable number of items identified as future needs. This transfer from the General Fund utilizes excess cash reserve balance to create the initial funding for those activities.

INTRODUCTION FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (con’t) The other significant variance of $3.1 million is in Salary and Benefits. The budget assumes all positions will be filled for the full year, while the 2020 Projected amount reflects vacancies that have occurred throughout the year. In addition, the 2021 Budget includes a three percent performance pay increase and increased healthcare costs.

Expenditures by Department Major variances by department are largely personnel related but also include changes in capital expenditures. The following are notable variances between the 2021 Budget and 2020 Projected Actuals:

• The Interfund Transfers increase of $8.8 million includes a one-time transfer of $10.0 million

to the Capital Renewal and Replacement Reserve Fund to fill budgetary gaps related to the renewal and/or replacement of aging equipment, facilities and other types of assets.

• The Emergency Response – COVID-19 decrease of $0.75 million reflects lower expected costs related to the pandemic for 2021.

• The Finance increase of $1.1 million reflects a contingency of $0.8 million for legal assistance and a possible IRS payment related to employee 401(a) and 457(b) plans. The remainder of the increase is personnel related, including the prolonged vacancy of several positions in 2020, a three percent performance pay increase and healthcare cost increases.

• The Interdepartmental budget is $0.5 million lower than the 2020 Projected due to the inclusion of funding for a facilities master plan in 2020.

• The Parks, Forestry and Open Space increase of $0.75 million is due to an increased level of repairs and maintenance and a capital project to address employee parking lot lighting.

• The Police Department shows an increase of $1.9 million, of which $1.8 million is personnel

related. The Department has had a considerable number of officer vacancies during 2020, and the budget is built on the assumption all positions are staffed for the full year. Also contributing is the three percent increase for both performance pay and the commissioned officer step plan.

• The Public Works Department increase of $0.6 million is primarily related to personnel. The

Department is adding an additional position in the Streets division due to the increased lane miles of streets being maintained. In addition, the performance pay increase and higher healthcare costs significantly impact the Department due to the total number of employees.

Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget


FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS INTRODUCTION (con’t) • Within Public Works, the General Government Buildings budget is decreasing $0.4 million due to the reduced size and number of capital projects.

• The Town Administrator budget is increasing $0.3 million due to the inclusion of the deputy

town administrator position at one hundred percent. The cost of this position had previously been shared amongst several departments.

• The Economic Development budget is decreasing $0.2 million due to a restructuring of that division, which resulted in lower personnel costs.

General Fund Balance General Fund expenditures are higher than revenue for the 2021 Budget, which results in a reduction to the ending fund balance of $9.0 million. Responsible fiscal policy dictates that the use of cash balances should be limited to one-time expenditures, and this is the case for 2021. A one-time transfer of $10 million to the Capital Renewal and Replacement Reserve Fund is being made with excess cash reserves. The transfer will fill budgetary gaps related to the renewal and/ or replacement of aging equipment, facilities and other types of assets. Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget

OTHER MAJOR FUND HIGHLIGHTS In addition to the General Fund, the Town has six other funds that are categorized as major funds. These are the Parks and Recreation, Cultural, Recreation, Excise Tax, Public Improvements and Stormwater Utility Funds. Financials for each may be found under the Budget Detail tab. Highlights of variances between the 2021 Budget and the 2020 Projected Actuals for these funds follows.

Parks and Recreation Fund The revenue variance of $0.5 million is mainly due to a difference between the contributions expected in 2021 from developers and the uncharacteristically low amount received in 2020. On the expense side, the capital projects budgeted for 2021 are smaller and fewer than what was planned for 2020, resulting in a $1.2 million expense decrease. This decrease is partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in the interfund transfer to the Recreation Fund. The additional funding is being used by the Recreation Fund for capital projects.

Cultural Fund Revenue in the Cultural Fund is increasing $0.3 million in the 2021 Budget. This includes a $0.3 million decrease to the interfund transfer from the General Fund and a $0.7 million increase in charges for services. With the pandemic presumably subsiding in 2021, more performances and events will be possible. Expenditures in the 2021 budget are higher because of the increased programming that is expected. The 2021 Budget presumes COVID-19 related restrictions will be minimal by mid-year, so more events are planned.

Recreation Fund As with the Cultural Fund, the Recreation Fund during 2020 has been significantly impacted by COVID-19 through reduced operating capacity and total closures. Revenue for 2021 assumes a return to pre-COVID activities and slightly higher than average demand due to pent-up desire for activities. Revenues increase in 2021 to $3.6 million over the projected 2020 revenue as a result. Expenditures follow the same trend as revenues when comparing 2021 to 2020, reflecting the same increased demand for activities in 2021. Meeting this demand requires an additional $2.8 million in personnel and operating expense. Capital outlay has also increased $0.4 million, which adds to the difference. Introduction 18

Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget


FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS INTRODUCTION (con’t) Excise Tax Fund Other than the increase in the Interfund Transfer, there are no material differences in the revenue and expenditures of this Fund when comparing the 2021 Budget to the 2020 Projection. The transfer is made to the Public Improvements Fund for capital expenditures in that fund.

Public Improvements Fund 2020 Projected revenue and expense include the funding support from the Parker Authority for Reinvestment (PAR) for the completion of the Cottonwood Bridge Widening project and other PAR related projects’ expenses. The Town will have the oversight of these projects, which is why they are included in this budget.

Stormwater Utility Fund 2021 revenue is impacted by the conservative budgeting approach toward developer contributions. Developer contributions are budgeted only when there is an outstanding commitment for a contribution in the budgeted year. Large variations may occur in this revenue line item year-over-year. Expenses are down because the number and size of capital projects are down in 2021. Construction requirements fluctuate from year to year. All of the Town funds are included in the Budget Detail section of this document. Additional variance information may be found there for the above funds and also for those remaining funds not included above.

The changes in the part time and seasonal FTE data are primarily in the Cultural and Recreation Funds where the number of employees was greatly reduced due to the COVID-19 impacts in 2020. The numbers for 2021 are reflective of the need to staff for more normal levels of events and activities. The impact of the increased FTEs is found in the employee-related cost areas. Other than for the positions where the change is only to account for reallocation of staff time between departments, the other increases do impact the areas of salary and benefits, computer and software, office or work equipment, uniforms, office furniture, vehicle, training and travel.

23 Introduction


INTRODUCTION GOALS AND STRATEGIES PROCESS FOR CREATING GOALS AND STRATEGIES The strategic plan evolved during 2015 as a cooperative project led by the Town Administrator’s office and included participation by the Town Council and Town staff. Citizen participation was funneled through the elected officials. The outcome was the development of a vision statement, mission statement, and strategic goals. The plan was meant to complement work that was underway regarding the Parker 2035 Master Plan and also the development of a prioritized method of budgeting. The strategic goals are meant to be high-level and guide the Town for many years. On an annual basis, Town staff identifies the activities to be undertaken that will support the strategic goals and includes any financial impact in the budget request for the particular fiscal year. In addition, each request by Town staff for Town Council action requires the inclusion of the corresponding strategic goal icons that the request supports. The strategic goals are utilized in the annual pay-for-performance reviews completed each year also. The Town Administrator’s office will be leading a project in 2021 that will further operationalize the strategic plan and also create a more robust performance measure framework for the various Town departments.

Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting Basis of Budgeting Basis of Accounting Basis of Budgeting vs. Basis of Accounting Department/Division Fund Summary

BASIS OF PRESENTATION—FUND ACCOUNTING The activities of the Town are organized into separate funds that are designated for a specific purpose or set of purposes. Each fund is considered a separate accounting entity, so the operations of each fund are accounted for with a set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, and fund equity as appropriate. The number and variety of funds used by the Town promotes accountability but can also make municipal budgeting and finance complex. Therefore, understanding the fund structure is an important part of understanding the Town’s finances. The three basic fund categories are Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds and Fiduciary Funds; within each fund category there are various fund types. Following is a description of the seven fund types that contain the Town’s various funds. Only six of these funds are budgeted as the Town does not have the authority to spend on its own the resources accounted for in the Fiduciary Fund.

FUND TYPES Governmental Funds General Fund The General Fund is the Town’s primary operating fund and is used to track the revenues and expenditures associated with the basic Town services that are not required to be accounted for in other funds. This includes services such as police, public works, parks and recreation, and other support services such as finance and human resources. These services are funded by general purpose tax revenues and other revenues that are unrestricted. This means that the Town Council, with input from the public, has the ability to distribute the funds in a way that best meets the needs of the community as opposed to other funds that are restricted to predefined uses.

Special Revenue Funds Special Revenue Funds account for activities supported by revenues that are received or set aside for a specific purpose that are legally restricted. The Town has six Special Revenue Funds that it budgets: Parks and Recreation Fund, Conservation Trust Fund, Law Enforcement Assistance Fund, Cultural Fund, Recreation Fund, and Capital Renewal and Replacement Reserve Fund.

Budget Overview


BASIS OF PRESENTATION, BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING (con’t) Capital Projects Funds Capital Projects Funds account for financial resources that must be used for the acquisition, improvements or construction of major capital projects. The Town has ten Capital Projects Funds: Public Improvement Capital Project Fund, Excise Tax Fund, Impact Fee Funds, Hess Ranch Metro District Fund, and Parkglenn Construction Fund. The Impact Fee Funds consist of six individual funds: Parks and Recreation, Transportation, Public Works, General Government, Police Facility and Court Facility. The 10-year capital improvements plan lists approved and anticipated capital projects of the Town, and can be located in the capital section of the budget document.

Debt Service Funds Debt Service Funds are used to account for resources that will be used to pay the interest and principal of long-term debts. The Town has two Debt Service Funds: General Debt and Recreation Debt.

Proprietary Funds Enterprise Funds Enterprise Funds account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business, where the intent of the Town is that the fund will be self supporting. This requires that the expense of providing goods and services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. In the event that these user charges are insufficient to cover the operations of the Enterprise fund, transfers can be made from other fund types to provide additional support. The Town’s Enterprise fund is the Stormwater Utility Fund.

Internal Service Funds Internal Service Funds account for the financing of goods and services provided primarily by one Town department to other Town departments or agencies, or to other governments, on a cost-reimbursement basis. The Town’s Internal Service Funds consist of the Fleet Services Fund, Technology Management Fund, Facility Services Fund and Medical Benefits Fund.

Fiduciary Funds (Custodial Funds) Trust Funds Fiduciary Funds account for resources that the Town does not have the authority to spend on its own because the Town is holding assets of these funds in a trustee capacity or as an agent for another organizational unit. The Town has one Fiduciary Fund which is not budgeted, the Security Escrow Fund.

Budget Overview


BASIS OF PRESENTATION, BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING (con’t) BASIS OF BUDGETING Basis of budgeting refers to the methodology used to include revenues and expenditures in the budget. The Town of Parker primarily budgets all funds on a cash basis. The Town does not budget for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization. The revenues and expenditures are assumed to be collected or spent during the period appropriated. Using this assumption, the current year revenues are compared to expenditures to ensure that each fund has sufficient revenues to cover expenditures during the budget year, or that there are sufficient cash reserves in the fund to cover a revenue shortfall.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. The government-wide financial statements, as well as the financial statements for proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, are reported using the economic resource measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of when the cash is received or disbursed. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they become both measurable and available, and expenditures are recorded in the period that the expenditure occurs and becomes a liability. An economic or financial resources measurement focus is similar to the basis of accounting where non-cash items are not budgeted and those items budgeted are within the appropriation period (fiscal year). Governmental fund financial statements also focus on the fiscal year period.

BASIS OF BUDGETING VS. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The basis of budgeting differs from the basis of accounting only by the assumptions that are made in regards to the timing of the recognition of revenues and expenditures. The budget assumes that all revenues and expenditures, as well as the associated cash, will be expended or received during the budget period. Conversely, the basis of accounting only recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available, and expenditures when incurred. Cash is not necessarily received or expended at the same time.

SUMMARY The summary on the following pages depicts the relationships between departments/division and the fund categories into which they fall.

Budget Overview


BUDGET AND FINANCIAL POLICIES The Town of Parker has an important responsibility to its citizens to account for public funds and manage municipal finances wisely. This section provides a summary of the significant elements of the adopted 2021 Annual Budget and major financial policies in place to ensure the funding for the Town’s services is managed responsibly. Financial policies are reviewed with Town Council annually during the budget review for ongoing relevance and adherence to the policy. The Town of Parker prepares the operating and capital budgets simultaneously on an annual basis. All funds are included in the operating budget. The Budget and Financial Policies section includes the following subjects:

• • • • • • • • • •

Balancing the Budget Budget Reserves Revenues Expenditures Revenue and Spending Limitations Enterprise Funds Authority over Expenditures Executive Termination of Approved Spending Debt Management Budget Amendments

BALANCING THE BUDGET • The budget is considered to be balanced when proposed expenditures do not exceed

proposed revenues and available fund balances for any budgeted year. This applies to all funds contained in the budget.

• The budget must be balanced when it is formally presented to the Town Council by the Town Administrator and when it is passed by the Town Council.

• Sales and excise taxes are the primary revenues used by the Town to offset expenditures and balance the budget. Property taxes, charges for services and other revenues are also utilized.

• Alternative forms of revenue may be used to balance the budget, such as bonds, grants and lease and purchase agreements.

• Revenues remaining from the previous year will be placed in the fund balance and can be

used for the purpose of balancing the budget, as long as the Council-mandated contingency amount is maintained.

BUDGET RESERVES AND FUND REPLENISHMENT • The non-appropriated General Fund balance will be maintained at levels sufficient to provide

necessary working capital and contingency reserves. Beginning with 2018, the reserve was set at a minimum of 25 percent of the total General Fund expenditures. In addition, reserves for future major capital expenditures may be accrued in the fund balance.

• Non-appropriated emergency reserves will be maintained at 3 percent of budgeted expenditures, in accordance with Article X of the Colorado Constitution (TABOR).

Budget Overview

48

Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget


BUDGET AND FINANCIAL POLICIES (con’t) • Use of the budget reserves must be recommended by the Town Administrator and be approved by a majority vote of the Town Council.

• If the Town Council approves the use of budget reserves, at the time of approval the Council must also approve a plan to replenish the reserves back to a minimum ratio of 25 percent.

REVENUES One-time Revenues One-time revenues are federal, state or private grants and tax windfalls that may occur in any given year.

• Grants must be shown as revenue in the appropriate fund and approved for expenditure by

the Town Council. Also, the funds may only be used for the intended purpose as outlined by the contributing party.

• One-time revenues, such as tax windfalls, will be placed into the fund balance of the

appropriate fund. The funds can be utilized only after the Town Council has approved the expenditure.

• It is likely the one-time revenues and corresponding expenditures were unknown at the time of budget development. The budget adjustments must be included as a budget amendment once they are known.

Service Charges and Fees Service charges and fees should be reviewed annually. This review process should coincide with the annual budget process.

Temporary Loans between Funds The transfer of revenues between funds to cover temporary shortfalls in cash revenue is at the discretion of the Finance Director, but is only permissible under the following circumstances:

• A temporary loan can be made to funds that may experience a revenue lag due to collections. • A temporary loan can be used to satisfy a shortfall in a transfer to a subsidized fund until the budget can be revised to the required transfer amount.

EXPENDITURES Expenditure Types The expenditure types that are used throughout all Town funds include salary and benefits, supplies, purchased services, internal services, utilities, capital outlay, debt service, contributions, interfund transfers and other.

Personnel Only positions approved by Council may be filled. New positions may not be created during the year without Council approval.

Budget Reallocation Budget reallocations may be made between line items by completing a budget reallocation form and obtaining the approval of the Town Administrator and Finance Director. Reallocations must be approved before goods or services are ordered. Budget reallocations to or from personnel line items will not be approved. Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget

Budget Overview


BUDGET AND FINANCIAL POLICIES (con’t) Capital Outlay Capital outlay funds are to be appropriated for specific capital assets. Purchasing, acquiring or constructing a capital asset must be verified by the Finance Department prior to the purchase or contract to ensure that the expenditure of capital outlay funds has been specifically approved by Council during the budget process. Expenditure of capital outlay funds that are not on the approved list must be reviewed by the interdepartmental capital scoring team prior to approval by the Town Administrator and before making the purchase.

REVENUE AND SPENDING LIMITATIONS In 1992, voters approved the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) Amendment to the Colorado Constitution that places limits on revenue and expenditures of the state and local governments. Even though the limit is placed on both revenue and expenditures, the constitutional amendment in reality applies to a limit on revenue collections. Growth in revenue is limited to the increase in the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index plus local growth (new construction and annexation). This percentage is added to the preceding year’s revenue base and the result is the dollar limit allowed for revenue collection in the ensuing year. Any revenue collected over the limit must be refunded to the citizens. Federal grants or gifts to the Town are not included in the revenue limit. In April 1996, voters in Parker approved an amendment to the Home Rule Charter which authorizes the Town to collect, retain and expend all revenue of the Town for 1996 and each subsequent fiscal year, not withstanding any limitation contained in Article X, Section 20 of the State Constitution. The Amendment is complex and subject to judicial interpretation. The Town believes it is in compliance with the requirements of the Amendment; however, the Town has made certain interpretations in the Amendment’s language in order to determine its compliance. The Amendment requires that emergency reserves be established. These reserves must be at least 3 percent of fiscal year spending (excluding bonded debt service). The Town is not allowed to use the emergency reserves to compensate for economic conditions, revenue shortfalls or salary or benefit increases.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS Enterprise funds act like a private sector enterprise and revenues must cover 100 percent of the expenditures.

AUTHORITY OVER EXPENDITURES All expenditures for the Town must be for Town business, properly authorized and approved, and within the Town Council’s approved budget. The Purchasing Agent is the public purchasing official for the Town, responsible for providing direction and assistance in the acquisition of goods and services. The Purchasing Agent will procure all goods and services in excess of $5,000 with some limited exceptions specifically defined in Town policy. These purchases also require a pre-approved Authorization for Expenditure. Procurements of $20,000 or more require a competitive process with the award given to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Expenditures of any amount must be authorized by the Department Director, accomplished by signing the source document to be paid or approving an Authorization for Expenditure. Budget Overview

disbursements under $10,000 to a Deputy Director or under $5,000 to a direct report.

• The Department Director may delegate his or her approval to another director for purchases that are routinely made by the other department on behalf of his or her department.

Although the ultimate responsibility for a departmental budget lies with that Department’s Director, purchases greater than $5,000 require further approvals. Purchases between $5,000 and $100,000 also require approvals from the budget authority, purchasing and the Town Administrator. Purchases of $100,000 and more also require Town Council approval. The Town Operations Manual provides complete policy and procedural detail on all expenditures.

EXECUTIVE TERMINATION OF APPROVED SPENDING The Town Administrator may stop a department from spending appropriated funds in the event there is evidence that funds are being misused. The Town Administrator must present the reasons for the action to the Town Council within thirty days of the expenditure stoppage.

DEBT MANAGEMENT Short-term Debt/Lease-purchase Agreements Short-term borrowing or lease-purchase contracts may be considered for financing major operating capital equipment when the Finance Director, along with the Town Administrator, determine that this is in the Town’s best financial interest and the Town Council concurs. Leasepurchase decisions should have the approval of the appropriate operating manager.

Long-term Debt Long-term debt will not be used to finance current operating expenses. When long-term debt is warranted for a project, the payback period for bonds used for the project must not exceed the useful life of the project.

Bond Rating The Town will attempt to obtain the best possible bond rating and to maintain a favorable rating through prudent financial management and adherence to a policy of full disclosure on financial reports.

Voter Approval of Debt As required by the Town Charter and State Statute, appropriate elections will be held to obtain voter approval for debt issuance. There is no legal debt limit other than voters’ approval.

Budget Overview


BUDGET AND FINANCIAL POLICIES (con’t) BUDGET AMENDMENTS The Town Charter allows Town Council to make additional appropriations by ordinance during the fiscal year for unanticipated expenditures of the Town. Such appropriations shall not exceed the amount by which actual and anticipated revenues of the year exceed the revenues estimated in the budget, unless the appropriations are necessary to relieve an emergency endangering public peace, health, safety or property. Requests for budget amendments are submitted to the Finance Director for consideration. If the request is justified and there is offsetting revenue, it is submitted to the Town Administrator for approval prior to being placed on a Council agenda. Budget amendments are presented to Town Council at a regular meeting and require two readings prior to adoption.

DEBT SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS Occasionally, the Town has issued debt as a means of providing the necessary funding to construct major capital projects. When advantageous, the Town has also used long-term financing to fund land and equipment purchases. The Town has outstanding long-term financial obligations in the form of sales and use tax revenue bonds and certificates of participation. There are no current plans to increase the amount of debt. The Debt Service and Financial Obligations section includes the following subjects:

Debt Limitations Outstanding Debt and Financial Obligations Town Credit Ratings Debt Service Fund Summary

DEBT LIMITATIONS The Town has no legal debt limit other than voters must approve the creation of multiple-fiscal year debt as required by the Amendment. Certificates of participation (COP) are a lease-purchase financing method wherein the annual lease payment must be appropriated by Town Council and does not create multiple-fiscal year debt. Therefore, voter approval is not required for COPs.

OUTSTANDING DEBT AND FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS The Town utilizes the General Fund and two Debt Service Funds, the General Debt Service Fund and the Recreation Debt Service Fund, to account for debt and financial obligations. Monies are transferred from the related operational funds to offset the principal and interest payments in the two debt service funds; these funds do not maintain any cash balance.

2015 Sales and Use Tax Refunding Note In October 2015, a refunding note was issued in the amount of $9,880,000 for the refunding of the 2006 Sales and Use Tax Revenue Bonds used to construct the Parker Fieldhouse and related improvements. The annual debt service payments are accounted for in the Recreation Debt Service Fund, which receives a transfer from the Parks and Recreation Fund. The note will be fully satisfied in 2025. The debt service payment schedule for the outstanding debt is shown in the following table.

Fund Balances This chart is included to show the fund balances for each of the Town’s funds. A fund balance reflects the net financial resources of a fund; in other words, assets minus liabilities. In simpler terms, this is equivalent to dollars available to spend. If some of the funds’ resources are not available to spend, those resources would be indicated by “restricting” or “reserving” a portion of the fund balance.

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, is followed by the Town. The statement provides clearly-defined categories of fund balance to make the nature and extent of the constraints placed on a government’s fund balance more transparent. The categories of fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned. The fund balances reported in this document reflect the total of each of these categories. The Town’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) provides the breakdown on a historical basis. Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget

EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT BUDGET VARIANCES Five Year Historical Highlights The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) shows the growth or contraction in each of the major revenue and expenditure lines for the five-year time period of 2017 – 2021. Use of the CAGR helps to show a longer period trend rather than focusing on just one year change over another. • Total Revenues have grown by 3% which is just under the 4% growth in the Taxes category. Sales tax is the primary revenue source in the General Fund so it is to be expected that there is a strong correlation between these two rates. • The decline in Fines and Forfeitures of 12% is largely due to the Police Department’s current strong emphasis on community policing and education of citizens rather than a focus on ticket issuance. • Interest revenue shows strong growth related primarily to the strengthening economy during this time period and the level of invested cash; 2020 and 2021 reflect the impact of Federal Reserve rate decreases that have occurred since 2019.

Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget


GENERAL FUND: SUMMARY • Community contributions to the Town are the primary revenue source in the Miscellaneous category. A very conservative approach is taken in developing the budget number since there is no reliable manner to determine the amount to be received during the next fiscal year. • The Total Expenditures’ CAGR of 6% is driven by the one-time increase in Transfers Out. Excluding Transfers Out results in a CAGR for Total Expenditures of 3%. • With Salary and Benefits making up in excess of 40% of Total Expenditures and growing at 6%, it has been necessary to limit the amount of growth in other areas. • In 2019, the Town completed a refunding of outstanding debt that has lowered the Debt Service. • Capital Outlay fluctuates due to the timing of necessary capital asset purchases and projects. • The transfer to the Cultural Fund is typically the largest transfer within the Transfers Out category; however, the 2021 budget includes a $10 million one-time transfer to the Capital Renewal and Replacement Fund. This one-time transfer is initial funding for the renewal and replacement of Townowned equipment, facilities and other types of assets in addition to planning for future equipment and facility needs.

EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT BUDGET VARIANCES Additional information on major General Fund Revenues can be found in the Revenue Manual section of this document.

2021 Adopted Budget vs. 2020 Projected Actual • In total, General Fund revenue for 2021 is expected to increase slightly from $55.4 million to $56.5 million. The increase is primarily driven by growth in the volume and amount of sales tax transactions.

• 2021 property tax revenue is relatively flat with that of 2020. Properties will be reassessed during 2021; the new rates will be reflected in 2022 revenue.

• Sales tax is budgeted to grow 3% from the 2020 projected actual revenue. Growth is budgeted at a conservative rate due to unknown impacts of the COVID-19 virus.

• Building permits revenue is expected to show a small growth from $2.0 million to $2.1 million. Construction is expected to be flat in 2021 with 2020.

EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT BUDGET VARIANCES 2021 Adopted Budget vs. 2020 Projected Actual • Charges for Services, the major revenue source for the Recreation Fund, has been greatly

reduced in the 2020 projection due to the impacts of COVID-19. The 2021 revenue budget was built mid-year 2020 when there was hope normal operations would resume by the start of 2021.

• Operational expenses for the 2020 projection reflect the impact of facility closures related

to COVID-19. Salary and benefits, in particular, reflect the reduced number of personnel. The 2021 budgeted expenditures trend off the 2019 actuals and, just like the revenue, reflect a fully normal operating year.

• Capital outlay is increased in 2021 due to the number and size of planned projects. • Since this fund will continue to be impacted by reduced operations during part of 2021, it

is expected that a budget amendment will be prepared for Town Council consideration in early 2021. This amendment will reduce expenditures to be in line with the expected level of reduced revenue.

2020 Accomplishments Support an Active Community • Developed a successful virtual and outdoor group fitness program that accommodated

and motivated patrons in achieving their fitness needs during closure and limited in-person offerings.

• First agency to offer safe and effective swim lessons and aquatic programming post Stay-AtHome Order. Served as a model for other Colorado Recreation agencies.

• Increased the online capabilities for customers with the implementation of online forms and increased sales of visit passes.

• Provided current members with Safe Return membership options during initial stages of Safer at Home phase.

• Offered new Grab and Go Bags Program, providing at home activities for kids. • Completed fencing project at the Recreation Center pickleball courts. Budget Detail

Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget


SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS FUND: Recreation Fund • Parker Recreation Facilities were among the first to re-open in the Denver metro area. Other Recreation agencies throughout the state looked to Parker for guidance and advice as they began to re-open their facilities.

• Streamlined facility reservation process utilizing technology to simplify rental requests and improve staff’s ability to secure rental spaces for the community.

• The Parker Fieldhouse worked with Rocky Mountain Turf Solutions to install a new premium indoor turf field. The new field allows the community to participate in our great indoor turf programs with less risk of injury and an overall better playing experience.

• Shared current sport specific policies and procedures surrounding COVID-19 to agencies within Colorado, Louisiana and California.

• Implemented the Department assessment with HPS HR consulting firm to evaluate current structure and identify ways to better position the department for the future.

Promote a Safe and Healthy Community • Transitioned the recreation center pools from liquid chemical to dry chemical feed systems, which resulted in a cleaner, safer swimming environment for both patrons and staff.

• Utilized the Facility & Lifeguard management program to work towards paperless operations for day to day operations within the Aquatics Division.

• Implemented an ADA transition plan from the Master Plan to improve accessibility in Recreation Facilities.

• Developed a comprehensive re-opening plan for Recreation facilities that included increased

disinfecting and cleaning protocols, revised operational guidelines to promote social distancing and mask wearing, and modified facility layouts to allow for social distancing. All of these modifications were made in efforts to keep the community safe and healthy.

Innovate with Collaborative Governance • Hosted Colorado’s first Aquatics seminar through CPRA. • In coordination with the Douglas County Healthy Youth Initiative worked with community groups to network and brainstorm ways to improve the overall health (mental, physical, otherwise) of teens in Douglas County.

2021 Goals Support an Active Community • Completed the Department assessment and begin implementation of recommendations including Human Resources and Finance to effectively execute.

• Formalize and implement a cost recovery model for the Parks and Recreation Department. • As COVID-19 guidelines evolve and change, continue to improve the quality and the scope of

fitness programming. Expand virtual and outdoor offerings addressing community safety and social distancing guidelines.

• Increase aquatics programming, activity and event offerings to encourage community participation at both indoor and outdoor venues.

EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT BUDGET VARIANCE 2021 Adopted Budget vs. 2020 Projected Actual • Healthcare insurance expense has increased approximately four percent for 2021 due to

claims that have run high for a second year. Premium revenue has increased to offset the increase and also to continue to build the cash balance to a more sustainable level. The Town is self-insured which makes it important for the Fund to be in a position to absorb high value and/or high volume claims.

REVENUE MANUAL


REVENUE MANUAL INTRODUCTION AN EVALUATION OF MAJOR REVENUES Revenue forecasting became much more important as the Town began to experience a declining sales tax growth rate several years ago. These two charts show how sales and use tax revenues make up just over 70% of the total General Fund revenues and 40% of total Town revenues. Due to the reliance on this one single revenue source, it became necessary to implement a tool that would assist in identifying future financial impacts to Town strategies.

A forecast model was built that maintains monthly historical amounts back to 2015 and has been expanded to include the budget for the next fiscal year and an additional four years into the future. The model includes each revenue account by fund which allows for quick identification of changes in historical trends. Also included are various growth rates, rolling twelve-month averages and annualized amounts that all assist in developing the budget and future year revenues. As the reader will see throughout the following pages, forecasted amounts reflect potential economic impacts in addition to the historical financial trends. In order to provide some flexibility if unexpected events were to occur, revenue is budgeted in a conservative manner. The slight decrease in revenue due to this approach is less than two percent of total revenues.

REVENUE MANUAL INTRODUCTION (con’t) Partly as a result of highlighting future revenue trends, the Town engaged an outside consultant during 2019 to provide analysis of user fees and the level of infrastructure cost recovery related to growth and development. Changes to fee structures positively impact revenue beginning in 2020. This manual provides information on the Town’s major revenues that are received primarily from outside sources. Major revenues are those in excess of $100,000 on an annual basis. These revenues equate to 95% of all revenue sources in the adopted budget.

Collection:

The collection process begins with the Douglas County Assessor’s Office. Two types of property are valued by the Assessor’s Office: 1) “real property” (land and buildings) and 2) “personal property” (business machines and equipment). Once market values are established, the Assessor’s Office computes the assessed valuation of property based on state-legislated assessment percentages. Property is assessed at the end of one year, for collection in the following year. A ten year history of these assessment percentages is provided in the table below:

Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget


PROPERTY TAX REVENUE (con’t) Computing the Property Tax Bill The formulas used for computing residential property taxes for 2019 assessments are as follows:

Assessed valuation = Property market value x Assessment ratio Property tax = Assessed valuation x Mill levy / 1,000 Parker $300,000 7.15% $21,450 2.602 / 1,000 $56

Market value x Assessment Ratio Assess Value x Mill Levy Divided by 1,000 Property Tax

Other Government $300,000 7.15% $21,450 77.834 / 1,000 $1,670

For the 2019 residential assessments paid in 2020, the owner of a home valued at $300,000 would have paid $56 in property taxes to the Town of Parker and $1,670 to the other governments common to all Parker taxpayers. Performing the calculation using the 29% business assessment percentage, a business with a market value of $300,000 would have paid $226 in property taxes to the Town of Parker in 2020, and $6,772 to the other governments common to all Parker taxpayers.

Legal Restrictions The Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) Amendment to the Colorado Constitution limits property tax revenue growth to the amount collected the previous year increased by the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index and a local growth factor. However, Parker citizens have voted to exempt the Town from the revenue limit provisions of TABOR. TABOR also prohibits any increase to the mill levy except by election. The Gallagher Amendment to the Colorado Constitution also restricts property tax growth in requiring the legislature to annually adjust the residential assessed valuation percentage to ensure that the proportion of residential to total state-assessed valuation remains constant – residential properties pay 45% of the total property taxes, while commercial and industrial properties pay 55%. A decreasing residential assessment ratio would be the result of residential growth and market values rising relative to commercial market values. In order to maintain this proportional allocation, the residential property assessment percentage has declined from 21% in 1982 to the current level of 7.15%, while the non-residential property percentage has remained at 29%. Finally, there is a statutory limitation which prohibits property tax revenue growth from exceeding 5.5% each year, adjusted for new construction, although it is generally held that home rule municipalities, like Parker, are exempt from this provision.

Visitors and residents in Parker

Collection:

In 1981, the citizens of Parker voted to install a 1% sales and use tax. In 1982, the citizens voted to increase the sales and use tax rate to 2.5%. In 1984, Parker became a home rule municipality with power to self-govern in matters of local and municipal concern. In 1990, the citizens voted to increase the sales tax rate to the current level of 3%, with the extra .50% to be earmarked for parks and recreation improvements. Sales tax is charged on certain services and all retail purchases.

As a home rule Town, Parker collects and administers its own sales and use tax. In late 2020, the Town signed an intergovernmental agreement with the State of Colorado that enables the Town to collect sales tax through their portal also. This should increase the level of collections from market place facilitators.

Businesses remit tax to Parker on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Taxes collected are due to the Town by the 20th of the month following collection. Online payments account for more than 95% of all payments. The remainder are paid through a lockbox. The Town utilizes a number of enforcement procedures to collect from delinquent accounts including taxpayer education, delinquency notices, personal phone contact and visits, audits, summons to municipal court and seizures.

SALES TAX REVENUE (con’t) • The impact of COVID-19 has had a reverse impact on sales tax growth in 2020. While it was

originally expected there would be a large decline related to closed businesses and to citizens remaining at home, the opposite has occurred. Parker residents primarily work outside of the Town. A large number began working from home causing grocery, big-box stores and vehicle sales to dramatically increase.

SECTION SALES TAX TITLE AUDIT REVENUE Distribution: General Fund 83% Parks and Recreation Fund 17% Source: Parker businesses and construction companies with construction projects in Parker

Collection:

The Town’s audit program emphasizes taxpayer education and voluntary compliance. As a result, the Town works with businesses which are delinquent or not remitting taxes to educate them on the correct way to calculate and remit sales and use tax. An audit may take two hours or several months to perform, depending on the complexity of the organization. Once the Town completes an audit, it meets with the taxpayer to go over the audit assessment and make any appropriate adjustments or corrections. The taxpayer then has 30 days to pay the assessment, work out a settlement or payment plan, or protest the assessment. The Town collects assessments through the Finance Department.

DEFICIT REDUCTION FEES Distribution: General Fund 100% Source:

Contractors and developers

Collection:

The Town developed a fiscal impact model in 1998 that calculates the financial effect of proposed new developments on the Town’s future operating budgets. The model looks at a 20-year projection of the revenues (property tax, sales tax, etc.) and the cost of services added by the proposed development (public safety, streets and parks maintenance, etc.). When there is a cumulative deficit for the 20-year period, a present value of the deficit is calculated. A development with a retail commercial component will have a lower or no deficit reduction fee depending on the retail versus residential mix. The fee is increased annually by inflation as measured by the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index (CPI). The deficit reduction fee is negotiated and agreed to by and between the developer of a proposed new development and the Town during the annexation process. Once agreed upon, the fee becomes a part of the annexation contract.

STORMWATER UTILITY FEE REVENUE Distribution: Stormwater Utility Fund 100% Source:

Property owners within the Town limits

Collection:

Residential stormwater utility fees are a flat fee that is billed through the water and sanitation districts in Parker in order to minimize administrative costs of collection and to make it easier for citizens to make their payment. Residents remit payments to their water and sanitation district. This includes Parker Water and Sanitation, Cottonwood Water and Sanitation, and Stonegate Water and Sanitation Districts. The districts then pay the stormwater fees to the Town. Stormwater utility fees for commercial property are calculated based on impervious area and billed annually by the Finance Department. Impervious area constitutes any area that does not allow water/snow to be absorbed by the ground, i.e. sidewalks, rooftops, driveways, parking lots, etc. The invoices for each calendar year are sent out on January 31. Payments are made directly to the Town of Parker and are due by April 30. Fees collected from each residence and business provide funding to pay for construction of new and required drainage improvements, maintenance of existing eligible drainage facilities, monitoring and safeguarding stormwater quality, and for planning, designing and constructing regional drainage improvements in cooperation with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District.

CAPITAL BUDGET


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2021 CAPITAL BUDGET AND 10-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP)

BACKGROUND The following pages detail the Town’s 2022 Capital Budget and the Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The Town defines a capital asset as one that is acquired, purchased or constructed with a cost or fair market value greater than or equal to $5,000 and a useful life of more than one year. This may include equipment, furniture, fixtures, artwork, buildings, land and/or infrastructure. Capital spending may occur through each of the following funds and one project may be funded through multiple funds depending upon the project specifics:

• • • • • • • • •

General Fund Cultural Fund Public Improvements Fund Parks and Recreation Fund Recreation Fund Stormwater Utility Fund Information Technology Fund Facilities Fund Fleet Fund

The multi-fund structure is required by the need to account for various dedicated revenue streams and is also helpful in maintaining a broad focus across all community needs. It is especially important that the Stormwater operations be managed as an independent business as required by governmental accounting standards for enterprise funds. The Excise Tax Fund and the Impact Fee Funds are also a potential source of funding for qualified capital spending. This would be accomplished with an interfund transfer to one of the above listed funds, where the expenditure will occur. Within each of these funds, capital items are grouped into the following four categories:

• • • •

New capital Reinvestment in existing capital Facilities Machinery, equipment and software

The annual Capital Budget and ten-year CIP are constructed for different purposes. Town Council appropriates funds only for the proposed Capital Budget; the costs for these projects have been researched and the projects are supported by Town staff. The ten-year CIP represents projects that departments believe may be necessary in the next ten years, but are not totally researched, nor has any detailed engineering been completed. This is the third year in which projects to be included in the Capital Budget have been determined through a scoring process by a cross-departmental team. Each department submits standard Capital Budget

264

Town of Parker 2021 Annual Budget


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2021 CAPITAL BUDGET AND 10-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) Capital Budget Request forms for each proposed capital expense. The form detail includes information that allows the team to score each request such as a project description, mandates on completing the project, relevance to Town strategic goals, and future costs or cost savings. The team members score the projects in twelve categories including, individual Town strategies. The projects are sorted by average score, then compared to revenue projections for each fund to select those capital projects to be included in the current budget. Following the scoring process, the cross-departmental team meets to review the outcome and concur with the results. Once available funding by fund is determined, requested projects that do not meet the funding level are moved to the first year of the CIP. This allows for those projects to be included in the process again for the next budget year. The process has been successful in that the overall results have been reasonable, emotional decisions have been mitigated and finite resources have been more effectively utilized. Detail on each capital project for 2021 is included with the projects separated by fund. Included for each project are a project description, purpose of the project, budget, funding sources, impact on operating costs, impact on other departments and the Town strategic goals achieved. Where appropriate, maps and/or pictures have been included.

SECTION TITLE GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Motsenbocker Employee Lot Lighting

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for lighting of the employee parking lot at the Motsenbocker Parks/Public Works Facility.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Motsenbocker lot is the only Town facility lot without parking lot lighting. Over fifty Parks, Forestry/Open Space, Fleet, and Facility Maintenance employees work out of the Motsenbocker facility. Staff frequently arrive for shifts before daybreak and work through the night during snow operations. The lack of lighting has led to multiple close calls between vehicles, plows, and pedestrians. The design work for this project is being completed as part of the 2020 approved Capital budget. The implementation phase of this project is planned for 2021. The construction will provide for ample lighting in the parking lot and minimize the impact to the neighbors to the west.

GENERAL FUND SECTION PROJECTS TITLE Capital Project: Police Station Audio-Visual Upgrades

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for upgrades to the 11-year old audio-visual (AV) system.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The AV system in the police station not only serves police needs and training, but is utilized heavily in the Town’s Emergency Operations Center functions. AV technology has changed a lot over the past 11 years, and many components of the existing system are no longer available or supported. It is becoming difficult to replace failing components due to changes in ports and AV distribution methods. This project would include replacement of AV headend equipment, Crestron controls, floor box upgrades, HDMI port upgrades throughout facility and other equipment. The police department AV system is connected to six different conference rooms and the dispatch center, requiring updates at each location.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Police Station Carpet Replacement

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for replacement of carpet in the high traffic areas of the police station. This project also includes replacing transition “walk off” flooring.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The police station will be nearly 11 years old in 2021 and the high traffic carpet areas are showing wear, deterioration and unraveling. The current carpet is a broad loom rolled product that has held up well to hard use, but it is difficult to maintain. This project proposes the use of carpet tile instead of broad loom. Carpet tile provides more options for future maintenance and rotation, and is a superior choice for a 24/7 use building. The areas proposed for replacement are also the most visible to the public when they visit the facility. A properly maintained building is vital to department operations.

The Police Department’s primary function is to provide a safe community, but the department plays a substantial role in supporting an active community as well. Ensuring the facility is well maintained provides staff with the ability to prepare and perform their functions efficiently and effectively.

Foster Community Creativity and Engagement The Police facility is host to a number of community events, training and educational programs. These programs bring members of the community to the police station to facilitate training, such as RAD, Weather Spotter, CERT, Citizen’s Academy and many youth programs.

GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Motsenbocker Building A Structural Repairs

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding to perform structural repairs to the deteriorating posts located on the front of Building A.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The existing structural posts located in the front of the building are deteriorating due to age and weather. These posts are currently repurposed telephone poles. The scope of this project is to retain the existing look of the facility while ensuring the structural integrity remains. There are sixteen posts in various stages of deterioration. Each post will be supported and the bottom section of rotted material removed. New concrete foundations will be poured with new structurally sound material and the existing post will be attached to the new base.

GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Town Hall Counter Security

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding to install Ballistic Resistant Panels (BRP) at the four public facing counters at Town Hall (Court, Front Counter, Clerk Counter, and Planning Counter).

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION This project focuses on Town staff safety and provides for the installation of BRP material at the four main public access points noted above. This material is designed to provide some safety to the staff at these locations should an active shooter scenario occur. While three of these areas are open above the counter, it is a starting point to provide additional protection. The Court counter currently has bullet resistant material in the service window. The project includes adding BRP material around this window area to provide additional protection. Further enhancements may be identified and implemented as needed however, this project is designed as a starting point to provide a level of protection that currently does not exist.

GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Town Hall Boiler Replacements

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for a multi-year replacement schedule of the two boilers and associated pumps at Town Hall.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The existing boilers and associated pumps are original equipment and are reaching a 20-year cycle. Boilers typically have a recommended replacement cycle of 15 to 25 years depending on the type and duty cycle of the boiler. The boilers at this facility heat the entire building during colder weather. The boilers operate on a lead/lag cycle, where one unit is the lead unit for a period of time and then becomes the secondary unit. Both units will run congruently during periods of cold weather and dependent on the space conditioning needs of the facility. This is a planned replacement of the existing boilers and pumps. Failure of the existing system would leave Town Hall vulnerable for the duration of time needed to specify and obtain a suitable replacement. Additionally, it is a best management practice from a cost point perspective to allocate time to obtain the best pricing available. Typically when performing work on an emergency basis, the Town should anticipate a 20% increase in cost.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Town Hall Mechanical Screening

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding to replace the wood structures of the mechanical screening areas located on the roof of Town Hall.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The existing wood structures which enclose the roof top unit at town hall are deteriorating. These structures provide two functions related to the mechanical equipment. First they provide a more secured area for the mechanical equipment (roof top units and chiller) at this facility. Second, they reduce the visual impacts of these units on neighbors. As these structures continue to deteriorate, the ability to provide aesthetic shielding and safety of the equipment will become more difficult. Alternatives to wood structures may include fiberglass reinforced panels which will stand up to the typical weather conditions in Colorado.

GENERAL FUND SECTION PROJECTS TITLE Capital Project: Traffic Signal Cabinet Equipment

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for the replacement of obsolete, failure-prone, or end-ofservice-life traffic signal cabinets.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Traffic signal cabinets must be electrically sound and weatherproof to provide reliable service to the traveling public and house the ethernet and fiber optic equipment that supports the Town’s communications network. Replacement of traffic signal cabinets due to end-of-service life, vehicle knockdowns or lightning damage is an ongoing challenge for Traffic Services. Cabinets also can require upgrades due to expanded equipment demands such as new communications or detection equipment. This capital outlay request will allow Traffic services to make these necessary purchases. The cabinet is a critical piece of each traffic signal location in Parker. If these cabinets are not purchased, reliability and safety will be compromised.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

FUNDING SOURCES General Fund Revenue

IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS Ongoing maintenance should have no direct change in routine maintenance man-hours, but newer cabinets may have fewer emergency call out conditions.

IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS None

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Enhance Economic Vitality The traffic signals are a critical piece of mobility within the Town of Parker. If citizens and visitors cannot get around town efficiently or conveniently, economic vitality suffers.

Develop a Visionary Community through Balanced Growth Traffic signal quantities have grown tremendously in the last 20 years with 51 new traffic signals since 2002. The traffic cabinets originally deployed eventually reach an end of useful life. Past growth must ultimately be maintained long term.

Promote a Safe and Healthy Community Functional and reliable traffic signals assist in providing a safe transportation network.

SECTION TITLE GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Police Station Scene Documentation/Reconstruction System

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for an updated tool for crime scene investigators and accident investigators to process crime and accident scenes.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The current system used for accident reconstructions as well as crime scene diagramming is more than 10 years old and technologically outdated. It takes minimum of two people to operate the instrument, and depending on the size of the scene, takes anywhere from 30 minutes to upwards of 8 hours to collect the necessary points and measurements for proper documentation of the scene and filing of criminal charges. With Parker being a growing town, we need to leverage technology to allow us to complete crime scene and accident scene processing with less personnel and faster times. Another benefit to the newer 3D technology is that it renders a virtual reality product that aids in bringing the scene to the court room. This innovative technology is used to illustrate complex concepts and aids in criminal convictions/exonerations, keeping our community safe.

GENERAL FUND SECTION PROJECTS TITLE Capital Project: Police Department Vigilant/Learn System

DESCRIPTION The Vigilant/Learn system is a database of automated license plate reader (ALPR) information that is accessible by those agencies that are part of the system. This information is compiled by law enforcement agencies across the United States as well as some civilian organizations that utilize ALPR technology (i.e. delivery companies). The pricing also includes two new ALPR cameras to replace our current aging cameras and training in the use of the system.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION ALPR systems have been used by law enforcement agencies for years to help solve crimes in their jurisdictions and to assist in locating missing persons if they are possibly in a vehicle. Agencies have typically relied on in-house storage mechanisms to house this information until deletion under records retention guidelines. Although some data can be obtained from the in-house storage, the information available is limited to that which is obtained by that agency. Currently, when trying to track down information on suspect of missing person cases as it relates to finding their vehicle and potential whereabouts, contact would have to be made with each agency to see if their license plate reader system had captured the vehicle while in their area. This system allows a searchable database for all the agencies on the system to get this information quickly. Agencies such as the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado State Patrol, and the Greenwood Village Police Department are just some of the Colorado law enforcement agencies that currently use the Vigilant/Learn System and, if we join this system, we would have access to every license plate scan they completed while their officers are out on patrol. Not only would this increase the amount of information available within the state but, with agencies throughout the United States using this system, access would be granted for those scans as well.

SECTION TITLE GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Police Department Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for the acquisition and implementation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) technology.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology has changed the way law enforcement handles a variety of emergencies and events in a very positive way. UAVs provide an excellent platform to provide situational awareness during large scale events, emergencies, search and rescues and natural disasters. UAVs are also very useful in documenting crime and accident scenes and aid in criminal case completion and prosecution. The Police Department has recently utilized the UAV resources of other departments for a variety of tactical situations. The UAV has shown itself to be of significant benefit and has greatly contributed to positive outcomes. The Police Department believes the introduction of UAV technology will benefit the overall safety and security of the community. The use and deployment of the UAV will be carefully governed by department policy, applicable local laws and Federal Air Regulations.

Capital Project: Half-Ton Crew Cab Pick Up

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides for the addition of a half-ton crew cab pick-up truck for use by the Streets Division.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Division currently has one light truck and does not have light truck crew cab capability requiring staff to use heavy duty pickups for all travel and work. This is a particular problem during the winter months when the heavy duty truck could be used by the Streets team for snow plowing rather than used for administrative functions.

SECTION TITLE GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Fleet Air Compressor

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding to replace the existing air compressor which feeds the Fleet Maintenance facility.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The purpose of this project is to replace one of the two air compressors at the Fleet Maintenance shop. The air is used to power mechanical tools to perform maintenance on vehicles and equipment and is considered to be an essential function of a fleet maintenance facility. The typical life expectancy for an air compressor in a fleet maintenance application is 10 to 15 years. The existing air compressors are at or beyond the fifteen year mark in 2021. While they are still operational at this time, the impact of a failure in the future would include significant delays in repair of the fleet of vehicles. These delays could impact the operational departments’ ability to provide services to the public at large.

SECTION TITLE GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Single Axle Dump Truck/Plow and Spreader

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for a single axle dump truck primarily for snow plowing and secondarily to provide support during routine street maintenance activities.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION During plowing activities, Town staff will typically operate from 8 to 12 snowplows depending on the severity of event and availability of staff. It is typical for these pieces of equipment to incur maintenance related issues during an event. Maintaining a sufficient percentage of necessary resources to perform this function is essential to keeping the roadways passable. This addition will provide additional ability to sustain snow removal efforts during long duration events. The single axle truck can also be used for residential plowing when required. It is a maneuverable and versatile truck that is easier to operate while still possessing sufficient power to operate as a full size plow truck. During the period of time streets staff are performing asphalt and concrete repair, the single axle allows for maneuverability, versatility, and efficient operation on narrow residential streets. Due to the expected increase in lane miles and the increased geographic area, an additional snowplow and an additional staff member will be needed to maintain the current level of service.

GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Traffic Detection Equipment

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for the replacement of failing or obsolete traffic signal detection equipment.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Traffic signal equipment requires routine maintenance and equipment replacement to ensure reliability of the transportation network. Regular replacement of aged traffic signal detection equipment that has shown reliability issues or has reached end-of-service life reduces the number of after-hours repairs and staff callbacks and helps control associated labor costs. The cost estimates are based on replacing equipment at three intersections each year, with assumed regular cost escalations.

SECTION PARKS AND TITLE RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Ongoing Trails Development

DESCRIPTION Funding for trail development was initiated several years ago to address small scale trail projects that are not budgeted as stand-alone capital projects and which arise during the year as a result of citizen input or Council requests.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The purpose of this capital project request is to maintain, enhance and ultimately complete the overall trail network within the Town consistent with the goals and policies set forth by the Town Council and consistent with the Town’s adopted Open Space, Trails and Greenways Master Plan. By maintaining a yearly budget item for trail development, staff will be able to quickly respond to both resident and Council requests for various small scale trail projects, especially those that provide connectivity and enhance the overall trail system.

PARKS AND RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Soft Surface Trail Construction along Cherry Creek

DESCRIPTION The Cherry Creek Trail is one of the Town’s most popular outdoor recreational amenities, and as such experiences significant use by all age groups. The addition of a soft-surface trail will add trail capacity by separating walkers/runners from cyclists thereby increasing user safety.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION In 2018 the Town constructed a soft-surface trail “Test Section” parallel to the existing Cherry Creek Trail near the Country Meadows community. This test section was 10’ wide and approximately 1600’ long. Upon completion of this trail, we solicited input and feedback from our residents through the Town’s “Let’s Talk Parker” website. Responses were overwhelming in support of this project with residents indicating their desire for more soft-surface trails throughout the Town and especially along the Cherry Creek Trail corridor.

SECTION PARKS AND TITLE RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Rowley Downs Trail Connection

DESCRIPTION This trail addition will run from the central open space within Rowley Downs southeast within the Public Service Company (PSCO) corridor and connecting with the existing trail running north/ south within the Willow Park community. There will also be an at-grade crossing of Seibert Circle. The trail will be 10-foot wide concrete and approximately 1,700-feet long. The new trail will connect to the existing Willow Park Trail which will eventually connect to the existing trail system to the southeast.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Town’s trail system is one of the most popular outdoor recreational amenities, providing the opportunity for individuals and families of all ages and skill levels to experience the various parks and open space areas within the Town. In addition, as the Town continues to expand our trail system with connections to surrounding areas and other communities, it will also serve future commuter needs.

CULTURAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: PACE Rigging System Renovation

DESCRIPTION The control interface (computer) for the motorized Rigging System at PACE is at risk of catastrophic failure and must be replaced.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The rigging system of a theater is one of its primary systems, without which it is almost impossible to offer a variety of programming. The rigging system in the PACE Theater is the system of motors, cables, and pipes that allow shows and events to incorporate flying scenery, lighting, and audio components into the presentations, and make adjustments to the configuration in between each event. The system is operated by a computerized control interface, without which it is impossible to operate any element of the rigging system.

CULTURAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Event Room Audio-Visual Renovation

DESCRIPTION The control system for the audio-visual (A/V) components in the Event Room at PACE is at risk for catastrophic failure because it is past the end of its useful life. The entire system needs to be renovated to bring it up to current standards and improve usability for renters.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Event Room at PACE is one of the most often used spaces and is a significant source of revenue for Parker Arts. The A/V system in the Event Room at PACE is an integral component of most of the functions and events held in that space. A very high percentage of the rentals for which revenue is collected for this space include fees for using the A/V system. Many of the groups that rent the space do so because of the availability of this A/V system for their function. In the past year the system has failed on several occasions, requiring workarounds for presentation material.

Foster Community Creativity and Engagement Parker Arts provides a gathering and rehearsal space for a number of local arts groups (e.g., Parker Chorale, Inspire Creative and the Parker Symphony Orchestra) and provides a pathway for community members to take an active role in the arts.

CULTURAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Theater Projector Replacement

DESCRIPTION The PACE Theater projector has reached the end of its useful life, has been discontinued by the manufacturer, and when it fails will need to be replaced as it can no longer be meaningfully repaired or maintained.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The projector in the PACE Theater is used in many productions, events and shows in the space. Many companies that rent the theater choose it based on the availability of the audio-visual system and its components. The audio-visual system, specifically the projector, is one of the reasons that Parker Arts can offer programming of such a varied nature to the community and region. It is not only closely tied to the revenue generated by the space, but is an integral component of the technical abilities within.

CULTURAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Theater Spotlights Replacement

DESCRIPTION The PACE Theater followspots can no longer keep up with industry standards, are positioned poorly so they cannot cover the necessary areas, and are starting to have mechanical issues that require additional maintenance

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The followspots in an event, show or production are a critical element of a successful presentation. Followspots are used to light specific performers and objects, drawing the audience’s attention to where they are supposed to look during a performance. Quite often, artist technical riders contain specifications that are required for the followspots in order for the show’s management to accept them for use during that show. The current followspots do not meet the minimum wattage requirements and do not meet the brightness requirements listed in most artist technical riders.

CULTURAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Schoolhouse (Non-Historic) Plaza and South Patio Fencing

DESCRIPTION The plaza and south patio at The Schoolhouse are currently licensed for liquor using a temporary fence. This budget item will allow us to install a permanent fence on the south patio and a combination of a permanent fence and matching temporary fencing on the plaza.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Schoolhouse renovation began in 2014 and finished last fall with the completion of the plaza, south patio and parking lot. The finishing touches of the project are to add permanent fencing around the south patio and plaza. The plaza and patio have been added to the existing liquor license and will be able to function as event space with temporary barriers in place. The combination of matching permanent and temporary fencing instead of temporary stanchions will give the space a more attractive finished look for rental and community events. The fencing will also allow us to secure the area for events quickly and with fewer staff and volunteers. The pandemic has brought to light the importance of attractive outdoor rental spaces both now and in the future.

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community In this time of social distancing Parker residents are looking for ways to gather in open well-ventilated spaces. This fencing will provide an attractive area for theater patrons, rentals and community events.

Enhance Economic Vitality This new space will be rented by various community groups for small parties, receptions, fundraisers, farmers markets and other events. The more people that visit the downtown area, the more they spend on gas, restaurants and shopping, thus adding to the overall vitality of Parker.

Foster Community Creativity and Engagement The addition of attractive permanent and temporary fencing at The Schoolhouse will give a more finished look and will secure the area for events. The use of the temporary pieces will allow the plaza to remain open and welcoming to the public when an event is not in progress but reduce the staff required to set up for a rental event. The permanent fencing on the south patio provide an attractive welcoming entrance to The Schoolhouse. Capital Budget

CULTURAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Schoolhouse (Non-Historic)Tent

DESCRIPTION The Plaza at The Schoolhouse is a beautiful outdoor space that was created to join two historic buildings – The Schoolhouse and the Ruth Memorial Chapel. The Plaza is perfect for large events but a tent is required in case of inclement weather.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Schoolhouse renovation began in 2014 and finished last fall with the completion of the plaza, south patio and parking lot. The Plaza was created to form an outdoor gathering space connecting The Ruth Memorial Chapel and The Schoolhouse. The Plaza is a unique rental venue because of its desirable location on Mainstreet in downtown Parker. The Plaza was designed to be large enough for a 40x60 tent which will allow the Cultural Department to increase rental revenue. A tent of this size will allow for seating of up to 200 people.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS None

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community A large tent will provide access to an outdoor gathering location for rental events in Parker. This pandemic has shown us how important outdoor space is to the health of our citizens. The purchase of a tent for outdoor Cultural events will provide an alternate location in all types of weather.

Enhance Economic Vitality Having this tent as an additional option for Farmer’s Market, Parker Days, and other community events means that small businesses and local organizations will now have a new place to display their wares and sell their products. Being able to promote these events brings more people in to Downtown Parker, where they will stay and spend their money.

Foster Community Creativity and Engagement The addition of a tent for Parker Arts opens up many possibilities for rental revenue, additional programming for the Cultural Department and Town and potential partnerships with organizations such as the Parker Area Chamber of Commerce and the Farmers Market.

CULTURAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Schoolhouse (Non-Historic) Theater Projector and Screen

DESCRIPTION This budget item will replace the existing manually operated and outdated projection screen, which no longer meets current video standards, with a motorized screen that meets these standards and will purchase and install a projector with the correct specifications for the theater space and projection surfaces within.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION We receive many requests to rent or use The Schoolhouse Theater that include the need for a screen and projector that meet current standards. Unfortunately, we quite often must turn away this business and the revenue that comes with it, as we don’t have this equipment. The completion of this project will immediately generate revenue for the department.

RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Recreation Center HVAC Reheat Boxes

DESCRIPTION This project provides funding to replace existing HVAC reheat boxes at the Recreation Center.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION There are multiple reheat boxes throughout the facility. These units work in conjunction with the roof top units to provide conditioned air to the spaces that they serve. The existing reheat boxes have reached their expected useful life. There are a total of twelve reheat boxes that serve the facility and the project scope has been split into multiple years. This will allow staff to replace these units in a systematic approach and minimize the disruptions at the facility.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Recreation Center - Pool Dehumidification Unit (PDU)

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding to replace one of the two pool dehumidification units (PDUs).

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION PDUs are designed to meet several functions of space and water conditions in a natatorium environment. Their primary function is to provide a healthy environment through conditioned space inclusive of temperature, humidity, and appropriate amounts of outside fresh air. They also balance pressure conditions between the natatorium and adjacent building space. There are two PDUs serving the natatorium at the Recreation Center. Both units must be operational to provide the appropriate amount of air exchanges and maintain correct static pressures within the natatorium area. During the most recent remodel of the facility one PDU was replaced and the other one was kept in service. Over the past five years, the PDU associated with this project has suffered multiple maintenance related issues and continues to be one unit at the Recreation Center that requires Facility Maintenance staff attention.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

Expenditures $ 309,000 $ 309,000

FUNDING SOURCES Recreation Fund Revenue

IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS Decreased non-routine maintenance costs

IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS None

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community The pool at the Recreation Center is a high use function for this facility. From lap swimmers to silver sneaker activities, the pool impacts many patrons who visit the facility. Having efficient and operable equipment supporting the pool is an essential part of providing these services.

Enhance Economic Vitality Since the pool is a high use activity, many of the patrons attending the Recreation Center expect to swim. When the pool is out of service, the ability to retain clients is impacted thus reducing the ability for the facility to bring in the revenue to fund the cost of operating the facility.

Promote a Safe and Healthy Community Conditioned space in a natatorium environment includes the ability to effectively remove harmful materials from the space and maintain space pressures. A reliable system to control the environment is essential in providing space that is healthy and safe.

RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Recreation Center Public Address System

DESCRIPTION This budget item funds the installation of an emergency public address (PA) system in the Recreation Center using existing phone system. Speakers will be added to key points in the building in order to effectively notify patrons in an emergency situation.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The addition of a PA system would improve the level of emergency preparedness provided for the patrons in our recreation facility. A building-wide system would allow for voice paging and instant alerts throughout the facility in the event of an emergency. PA systems are already installed in the Parker Fieldhouse and Parker Town Hall, locations that are frequented by the public. During the 2015 Recreation Center expansion, the infrastructure was installed for a PA system but funding was unavailable at the time to proceed with the purchase and installation of equipment. The Recreation Center has a high volume of customers on a daily basis and the addition of a PA system would align us better with best practices implemented in most other public facilities

RECREATION FUND SECTION PROJECTS TITLE Capital Project: Fieldhouse LED Conversion

DESCRIPTION This project provides funding to replace the existing high bay fluorescent fixtures with LED fixtures.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION This is a multiple year project designed to complete the conversion of this facility to LED lighting. In 2018, Facilities replaced the gym lights with LED. This provided a baseline for the two additional areas (rink and turf) for cost, complexity, and design and fixture type. LED lighting in these areas not only provides for better opportunities to use the facility amenities, but also impacts the financial cost of operations through a reduction in energy consumption.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

Expenditures $ 50,625 71,000 $ 121,625

FUNDING SOURCES Recreation Fund Revenue

IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS LED lighting retrofits have proven effective to reduce ongoing energy consumption with a Return on Investment (ROI) of typically less than two years. Furthermore, there will be a reduction to the ongoing cost of maintenance.

IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS None

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community This project focuses on the turf area at the Fieldhouse. This area is heavily programmed with multiple lighting level requirements. These upgrades will allow this space to be appropriately lit for the multiple activities being programmed.

Enhance Economic Vitality LED fixtures reduce energy consumption and enhance lighting with less maintenance.

Foster Community Creativity and Engagement There are very few inside sports venues of this nature that serve the Town’s citizens. There are approximately 400,000+ visitors annually at the Fieldhouse.

RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Fieldhouse VAV Controllers and Actuators

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding to replace up to 17 VAV controllers and actuators.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION These devices provide adjustable airflow and temperature control to the spaces within the facility. The controllers interface with the Town’s Building Automation System (BAS) at this facility and provides a high efficiency capability to manage the facility’s HVAC needs. The actuators control the damper devices in the box and adjust airflow to the space as needed. The controllers and actuators are approaching 14 years in service. The typical life span for VAV controllers is 15 years. As these devices age, their ability to properly control the environment wanes, resulting in inefficient management of the space temperature and conditioning. There is anticipated reduction in ongoing maintenance costs and possible improvements to indoor air quality and HVAC tempering related to this project.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

FUNDING SOURCES Recreation Fund Revenue

IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS Decreased non-routine maintenance costs

IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS None

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community Proper control of the VAV boxes improves the indoor air quality of a facility and ensures proper tempering of the space temperatures. As the Fieldhouse provides services to the public and is a large facility, it is important to be able to manage the space temperatures evenly.

Promote a Safe and Healthy Community There are very few inside sports venues of this nature that serve the Town’s citizens. There are approximately 400,000+ visitors annually at the Fieldhouse.

RECREATION FUND SECTION PROJECTS TITLE Capital Project: Fieldhouse ADA Player Benches

DESCRIPTION This budget item adds ADA accessible player benches to the Fieldhouse Sports and Events Center allowing the department to meet ADA recommendations set forth in the master plan.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION With the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and ADA audit, an ADA transition plan was developed to meet best practices and ensure our facilities are inclusive. Adding ramps to and from the player benches and playing surfaces will improve access while going above and beyond the minimal ADA accommodation requirements. With the rapid interest and growth of our therapeutic recreation program, we continue to seek new opportunities to make our facility inclusive to all people.

RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Fieldhouse Gymnasium Control Panel

DESCRIPTION An upgraded gymnasium control panel would provide a digital touchscreen to lower and raise hoops and curtains more efficiently and reliably.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The current touch pad system fails frequently. When the system does not operate properly the hoops or curtains are stuck in positions that impact programs and rentals. This results in lost revenues as well as poor customer service for the community. Failures often occur on weeknights or weekends resulting in emergency repairs. The cost of ongoing repair labor is significant. The existing touchpad panel requires that you hold a button down to raise and/or lower all the hoops. When switching from volleyball or pickleball to basketball it can take more than fifteen minutes to get everything in the appropriate position. A digital control panel would more efficiently make these adjustments.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: TRAFFIC SIGNALS Capital Project: Responsive Signal System - Phase 2

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for the construction and implementation of the next phase of responsive traffic signal control system for the remainder of Parker.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Due to continued development in the Parker area, Parker’s roadways have and will continue to see increased traffic. In response, Town staff has already started the implementation of an advanced traffic signal control system on Parker Road. The responsive traffic signal system utilizes traffic counting stations on Parker Road that feed traffic volume information back to the master traffic signal system. The master system can then respond to traffic by picking an appropriate traffic signal timing plan. Changes to traffic patterns can occur around accidents, holidays, school delay or in the case in March of 2020, a dramatic decrease in traffic due to COVID-19 restrictions. The first phase of the responsive signal system was started in 2019 and fully functional by mid-2020. It has already resulted in improved traffic flow on Parker Road (based on field results in the first-half of 2020). The phase one system handles the thirteen traffic signals on Parker Road and adjacent traffic signal locations that are in close proximity to Parker Road. The success of Phase 1 during the COVID-19 traffic reductions resulted in Town staff looking at the rest of the Town and what it would take to implement townwide traffic responsive signal operations. The map indicates the decided upon locations.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS None

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Enhance Economic Vitality

The traffic signal control system will support improved traffic flows on Parker roadways. While Phase 1 looked at Parker Road as the most important roadway in the Town of Parker for economic vitality, other Town roadways are important as well. Improvement of the traffic flows on Parker roadways will support the overall economic vitality of the Town.

SECTIONIMPROVEMENTS PUBLIC TITLE FUND PROJECTS: ROADS Capital Project: Dransfeldt Road Extension South of Twenty Mile Road

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for the extension of Dransfeldt Road south of the Twenty Mile Road intersection, across Cherry Creek and connecting into Motsenbocker Road adjacent to the west side of the Salisbury Park North property. It will include the realignment and improvement of Motsenbocker Road from the Todd Drive intersection back to the new intersection to be constructed with the Dransfeldt Road extension project.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Town has significant planned development areas remaining at the southwest quadrant of the Town. To support this planned development, an additional crossing of Cherry Creek is needed. The extension of Dransfeldt Road over Cherry Creek will add an additional roadway connection over Cherry Creek to provide redundancy in the Parker area roadway network. This roadway is also needed to support the current and future economic development at the Parker Road/Twenty Mile/Hilltop commercial area. Finally, this roadway will provide an additional connection to the existing Salisbury Park facility and proposed Salisbury Park North infrastructure.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

FUNDING SOURCES Public Improvements Fund Revenue; partial funding anticipated with intergovernmental agreements

IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS As with any new roadway construction, the Town should anticipate long-term maintenance costs. Highway bridges are typically constructed with a 50-year design life assuming routine maintenance is performed. Roadways are typically constructed with a 30-year design life assuming routine and preventative maintenance such as mill/overlays are performed.

IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS The project will include construction of new sidewalks and trails. Snow removal is not typically the Town’s responsibility unless the Town is the adjacent property owner (with the Parks Department handling snow removal if this is the case).

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community The addition of a multimodal (pedestrians, bikes and vehicles) connection over Cherry Creek can promote a healthy lifestyle by providing access to Salisbury Park.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: ROADS Capital Project: Parker Road/Twenty Mile Road/E-470 Mobility Improvements

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for improvements to connect the eastbound/northbound E-470 off-ramp at Parker Road to southbound Twenty Mile Road.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION This project continues the implementation of the Parker Road Master Plan that the Town completed in November of 2019. Proposed improvements will connect the eastbound/ northbound E-470 off-ramp at Parker Road to southbound Twenty Mile Road plus off-ramp improvements and widening of Twenty Mile Road. These improvements are part of a phased approach to implement the anticipated quadruple lane configuration on Parker Road between Lincoln Avenue and E-470. This project will provide alternative connections to the traveling public, decrease (by utilization of alternate routes) the traffic on Parker Road and improve vehicular mobility. Parker Road currently experiences heavy congestion during rush hour that is projected to increase. Later phases of improvements will be needed to meet the master plan.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: ROADS Capital Project: Mainstreet/Twenty Mile Intersection Improvements

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for turn lane additions at the intersection for improved traffic operations, including 3/4 movement from Twenty Mile to Stage Run.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Town originally constructed the Mainstreet and Twenty Mile Road intersection in 2000 to support the planned development in the area. Nearly a decade later, the Town completed some additional improvements at the intersection for a northbound Twenty Mile Road double-left-hand turn lane to support increased traffic in the area. Due to continued growth in the area, additional improvements at the intersection area are becoming needed. This project consists of the following circulation improvements: • Addition of a southbound right-hand turn lane from Twenty Mile Road to westbound Mainstreet • Widening of the existing single left-hand turn lane to a double-left hand turn lane from eastbound Mainstreet to northbound Twenty Mile Road. • Addition of a left-in on southbound Twenty Mile Road to Stage Run (creating a 3/4 movement) These improvements are needed due to continued development in the area around the intersection, which has resulted in increased traffic flows. Due to the addition of the American Academy charter school on Twenty Mile Road, there has been an increase in peak traffic flows associated with the school drop off and pickup times. There is still development anticipated in the area that will continue to increase the traffic at the intersection and the improvements that are needed.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: SIDEWALKS Capital Project: Parker Road Sidewalk Project

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for a phased multiple-year approach to completing the sidewalk/multi-use trail adjacent to Parker Road.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Numerous gaps exist in the sidewalk/multi-use trail adjacent to Parker Road. It has been a goal of Town Council for over 20 years to complete this needed multi-modal infrastructure for both pedestrians and bicycles. Developments adjacent to Parker Road over the past 20 years have completed their appropriate sidewalk/multi-use trails but due to the way that the developments have occurred over time, gaps exist that need to be closed and eliminated. Some of the existing gap areas will be eliminated with additional development, but the Town will need to address the majority of the gaps remaining. The 2021 request is for additional design efforts as a result of CDOT funding requirements and further refinement of the design for the section of the Parker Road sidewalk between the Hilltop/ Twenty Mile intersection and the Hess Road intersection.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: SIDEWALKS Capital Project: Pikes Peak Drive Sidewalk Improvements

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for the widening of sidewalks and for pedestrian lighting on Pikes Peak Drive from Mainstreet to the Sulphur Gulch Trail crossing.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION This project will construct widened sidewalks and install pedestrian lighting on Pikes Peak Drive from Mainstreet to the Sulphur Gulch Trail crossing. The current width of the majority of the sidewalk on Pikes Peak Drive does not meet ADA requirements as it is less than four feet wide. Any widening of the sidewalk will require sidewalk easements and/or additional right-of-way. The effective width of the widened sidewalk will also be affected by the addition of pedestrian lighting similar to what is on Mainstreet on both sides of the Pikes Peak Drive intersection.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: SIDEWALKS Capital Project: Sidewalk Gap Closures

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding to continue an ongoing program to close sidewalk gaps for pedestrian use and to increase access to adjacent areas.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Town has extensive sidewalk gaps in the community that need annual funding to address. The locations that utilize the sidewalk gap elimination funding will vary annually depending on needs determined by development, schools and recreation needs. Based on direction from Town Council, Town staff started the design of the sidewalk adjacent to Hilltop Road from the Pine Drive intersection to the Hidden River Lane intersection, but this effort was halted due to COVID budget impacts. These improvements are going to be very costly due to the need to install retaining walls to complete them and will require “pooling” of the annual funding for a multi-year period to a single year to complete them. The budget shown below is for annual funding at a consistent level. The preliminary design estimate for this section of sidewalk gap on Hilltop Road is approaching $1,000,000 to complete or an equivalent of 10 years at prior funding levels (of $100k/year).

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

SECTIONIMPROVEMENTS PUBLIC TITLE FUND PROJECTS: OTHER Capital Project: Pikes Peak Avenue - PACE Center Improvements

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for safety and operational improvements to Pikes Peak Avenue adjacent to the PACE Center.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Pikes Peak Drive in front of the PACE Center was constructed as part of the original building construction over ten years ago. The original construction was for a roadway flush with the front of the building that could be closed for special events, but due to fire code considerations, this has never occurred. The trees in the original flush planter beds are not thriving and have a very high mortality rate. The original design has also contributed to people who do not cross at the designated crossing locations due to the “wide open� nature. To address these issues, longitudinal raised planter beds will create a curb adjacent to the road that would direct people to/from the parking lot to cross at the designated areas. The design will also include a delivery truck pullout west of the main entrance for deliveries. Most delivery vehicles currently stop in the through lane in front of the building to make deliveries.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

Expenditures $ 300,000 $ 300,000

FUNDING SOURCES Public Improvements Fund Revenue

IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS None

IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS While the Parks Department will have additional landscaping, the additional work to support this area will be a minor addition when compared with the annual tree mortality issues with the existing tree grates.

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Enhance Economic Vitality This project should help enhance the economic vitality of the PACE Center. The longitudinal raised landscaping beds will beautify the entrance to the PACE Center which may lead to increased usage.

Foster Community Creativity and Engagement The PACE Center is one of the main community centers for creativity and engagement. This project will improve/beautify the entrance to the PACE Center.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: SECTIONOTHER TITLE Capital Project: Power Line Undergrounding

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for the conversion of existing overhead power lines to an underground configuration.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Town staff reviewed potential power line undergrounding locations with Town Council in 2015. Direction from Town Council is that the funds should be directed to conversion of the existing Intermountain Rural Electric Association (IREA) power line adjacent to the east side of Parker Road given the prominence of Parker Road. The Town most recently funded the conversion of the power line along the Robinson Ranch residential subdivision and is working with IREA to continue this conversion process to the north. This existing power line is continuous from the recently completed section to just south of Hilltop Road. Given the cost of this underground conversion process, the funds for the next 10-years will be directed toward converting this power line. The next targeted conversion location is heading north from the Robinson Ranch subdivision toward and past the Hess Road intersection.

SECTION TITLE FUND PROJECTS STORMWATER Capital Project: Annual Water Quality Improvements Program

DESCRIPTION This project consists of the construction of new water quality facilities and improvements to existing water quality facilities to improve operations or bring them up to current standards. The ultimate goal of this program is to continually improve water quality provision throughout the Town.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Town’s Storm Drainage criteria currently requires all new development to construct water quality treatment facilities for their stormwater runoff. This ensures that runoff from these areas is treated prior to release to the adjacent drainageways. This criteria has been in place for most of the Town’s development; however, there are some older areas that developed before water quality provision was in practice and are not served by water quality facilities. This project will design and construct water quality facilities to serve such areas and to design and construct improvements to existing facilities, in order to improve the overall water quality in our drainageways. For 2021, the proposed project will involve improvements to an existing water quality pond located within Villages of Parker Filing No. 26B south of Cimarron Middle School, which was constructed in 2003.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

STORMWATER FUND SECTION PROJECTS TITLE Capital Project: F550 Pickup with Dump Bed

DESCRIPTION This budget item is for the purchase of a F550 class truck with dump body to provide maintenance on over 319 detention ponds and over 25 miles of major drainageways in Town. As part of the stormwater operations, maintenance of these facilities includes sediment removal as well as large amounts of trash and heavy vegetation removal.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The addition of a F550 pickup with a dump bed will allow the crew to safely access areas that a standard tandem dump truck cannot due to limited access, slopes, or vegetation. The F550 type truck will increase staff productivity and allow sediment and vegetation to be removed, restoring flow of stormwater to designed capacity, and therefore preventing flooding and overgrown, choked drainage channels and ponds. Removed material must be hauled from the work site, stockpiled, and dried before disposal within a landfill. The smaller truck is more versatile in use and operation, allowing work to continue throughout the year and during wet periods which may prevent a larger standard truck from operating. In addition, smaller trucks are more efficient and safer to operate in Town.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

FLEET SERVICES FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Fleet Replacement

DESCRIPTION This budget item is an annual allocation of funds to address the ongoing replacement of equipment deemed at or past its useful serviceable life.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION It is the policy of the Town to equip staff with the tools needed to provide services to our citizens in a professional, competent and safe manner. Among the biggest tools in accomplishing this task are vehicles and other fleet equipment (“Fleet Unit”). These items represent a substantial financial investment and must be handled in the most economic manner, both in their operation and in maximizing their disposal value. This policy recognizes that each Fleet Unit has a number of “lives”.

• Service life – amount of time a unit is capable of rendering service • Economic life – amount of time the unit’s average total cost is at a minimum • Technological life – amount of time the relative productivity of the unit is comparable to newer models

The following costs and other factors should be considered in determining Fleet Unit replacement recommendations.

• • • • • • •

Operation/maintenance costs Repair costs Parts availability Downtime Technological obsolescence Condition Safety

The following is a brief explanation of the rating criteria standards. • Age and mileage/hours – standards are based on the experience in the class of equipment and industry standards as recommended by the American Public Works Association (APWA), national averages and other cities, and intend to reflect the least cost and highest resale value to the Town. • Maintenance and repair costs – the standard is based on the total of maintenance and repair costs as a percentage of the original purchase price. Accident and warranty repairs are not to be included in this calculation. • Reliability – the standard will be based on an acceptable level of downtime for the class of equipment. • Condition – a physical evaluation made for each vehicle that meets or exceeds the base standards for age, mileage and/or maintenance costs. The standard will be based on the cost of necessary repairs as a percentage of book value of the Fleet Unit. The first five years of funding includes approximately $500,000 per year to address a backlog of replacement equipment currently categorized as “extended life” units. Capital Budget

FUNDING SOURCES Fleet Services Fund Revenue

IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS None. New equipment will have less maintenance costs while other aging equipment will require more maintenance.

IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS All departments that operate equipment to perform services in the Town’s response to needs.

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community Equipment and vehicles purchased through this capital expense support the operational departments in all areas of the Town including citizen activities through Parks and Open Space.

Enhance Economic Vitality By maintaining the Town’s roadways, providing desirable amenities such as parks and open space, and providing a safe place through law enforcement, the replacement capital has a major impact on the Town’s ability to create a culture and environment where business can succeed.

Foster Community Creativity and Engagement The Town’s fleet supports all activities conducted by staff. A few examples of activities include Public outreach by the Police Department, Public Works Touch-a-Truck events, and transportation provided by the Town for the Cultural Department activities.

Innovate with Collaborative Governance The Town’s purchasing policy allows the Fleet division to specify and purchase replacement equipment through competitively bid multi-agency purchasing contracts such as Colorado State Award, MAPO, Sourcewell, and other municipal governments. This practice ensures that the Town of Parker is obtaining equipment and vehicles that meet our needs while minimizing the amount of work performed through a formal bid process conducted by the Town.

Promote a Safe and Healthy Community Purchases such as police vehicles, plow equipment, and service equipment used for maintaining roadways and stormwater systems provide an active role in providing a safe and healthy community. Additionally, the equipment used to maintain our parks and open space is essential to providing these activity areas and providing opportunities for the public.

TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Modular Power Revitalization Service

DESCRIPTION Power modules in the primary data center for the Town have reached end of life and are beginning to fail. A complete modernization of this equipment is needed to maintain the protection of all server and switch equipment.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The power protection system was designed to effectively provide high levels of availability and has done so continuously for over ten years. It is a modular system made up of dedicated and redundant modules of power, intelligence, battery and bypass. An independent review has shown that each piece of equipment requires revitalization to continue serving its purpose. Failure to perform this revitalization could impact Town employees and therefore Town citizens with unforeseen power outages and will not give the protection needed for server, networking, and data storage equipment.

TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT FUND SECTION PROJECTS TITLE Capital Project: Data Room Security

DESCRIPTION To increase the overall network security posture, lockable enclosures for network equipment and security cameras are required in each network location.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Currently there are several network locations where physical security was identified as a deficiency in the last security audit. To remediate these deficiencies, lockable cabinets and strategically located security cameras are required to maintain physical security best practice per the NIST SP800-123 Guide to General Server Security.

FACILITY SERVICES FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Townwide Building Automation System Upgrade

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding to complete a conversion of the multiple Building Automation System (BAS) platforms installed at Town facilities to one platform. The existing platforms are at the end-of-life cycle and upgrades will be required eventually due to support issues.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The existing BAS equipment hardware is reaching the end of its serviceability lifecycle of approximately 5 – 7 years. Currently, Town facilities use two different platforms to provide building automation functions. The upgrade will include a user interface known as a Supervisor to allow remaining facilities to report to a single server. As the project continues to progress each facility will be transitioned in hardware and configuration to allow access via this new Supervisor solution.

PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2019 Projected 2020 Budgeted 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 TOTAL

Expenditures $ 20,000 $ 20,000

FUNDING SOURCES Facility Services Fund Revenue

IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS The Town’s current systems are somewhat proprietary in nature, limiting the town to a few or one service provider to perform ongoing maintenance. This upgrade will place the Town in an open market related to the ongoing support and maintenance.

IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS All departments

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community The Building Automation Systems provide major town facilities with conditioned space efficiently. Each facility provides support related to an active community.

Enhance Economic Vitality Facilities Maintenance provides a wide variety of support to the facilities. The use of a centralized platform to manage the HVAC systems at the facilities will provide for greater efficiency in the future. Staff’s ability to train and become proficient with one platform will increase our ability to manage all of the aspects of facilities maintenance and allow for more time to perform the other necessary aspects of our role.
