ISSUE
Approve the Public Works Shops Master Plan and funding for Public Works Shops Phase 1. Update-on-the-Pubtio-Works
Shops Master Plan and seek approval for financing the improvements to the Heiser property.
BACKGROUND
The City hired SHKS Architects to conduct a Master Planning and Programming effort for the City's Public Works Maintenance
Shops facilities in September 2018. Master Planning efforts are a good tool to logically implement overall facility
improvements. The Public Works Master Plan envisions the redevelopment of over 13 acres of land, which will serve the
Public Works Department into the future with planned growth through the year 2045.
SHKS conducted several meetings with PW staff, visited the existing facilities, toured similar PW facilities in the region and
developed a Master Planning and Programming Report. Several options were discussed and the selected Master Plan and
the proposed tenant improvements to the Heiser site are the most practical and least expensive option.
The current George Long building lacks sufficient spacing for routine maintenance and is also one of the most seismically
deficient City building. The new site will be much safer for our employees and provides more space, therefore increasing
operation efficiency. In addition, some of the equipment from Minkler Shops can also be moved to Heiser, allowing more
space at Minkler Shops for maneuverability and productivity.
ANALYSIS
The findings from the Public Works Shops Master Plan are summarized in the attached updated PowerPoint presentation.
The City took possession of the Heiser properties in July 2019 and will take possession of the UPS site in 2023.
Master Plan Summary
• The Public Works Shops First Phase 1 of the Master Plan focuses on relocating the PW Fleet Maintenance and
Facilities divisions from George Long Shops to the Heiser property after seismic retrofitting and upgrades. The First
Phase 1 will also include moving the Police vehicle evidence storage and spoils from the Longacres site.
• The Longacres site will need to be vacated and moved to the Heiser site by 2021. To meet federal NPDES regulations,
spoils need to be stored in a covered site.
• Public Works staff agree that the best option is to move George Long and Longacres operations to the Heiser Building.
• George Long was chosen to move to the Heiser Building, after necessary renovations, as the George Long Building is
seismically and environmentally deficient and is hazardous to City employees.
• The Fleet mechanics work full-time in George Long as opposed to other Public Works employees that are mainly in the
field. The George Long facility does not have an adequate exhaust system and does not meet regulatory requirements.
• As George Long is seismically deficient, if there is an earthquake and the building is destroyed, the entire City would
be without the facilities and fleet divisions to assist with Police, Fire and other emergency operations.

• With the table below, George Long's future square footage needs will be covered in Phase 1. If Minkler were to move
to Heiser at this time, their future needs would not be met and would have to move twice (see page 48 and 53 of Master
Plan).

Budget Balance $ 3,808,948.12
After the October 28, 2019 Committee of the Whole meeting, Council recommended that the Public Works Shops Phase 1
include additional seismic improvements to the Heiser building for an additional cost of up to $1.3 million to improve the
building's integrity in the event of a catastrophic earthquake. SHKS estimates that the PW Shops First Phase 1's costs will
be $6.7 $5,8 million and soft costs at $2.8 $2.1 million, for an estimated total project cost of $9.5 $8.2 million. Project soft
costs include design fees, construction management fees, construction contingency, and sales tax.

Informational Memo
Page 3
The 2019 CIP's PW Shops budget is $30 million and to date $26,191,051.88 is estimated to be spent, which leaves a
balance of $3.809 million. To complete the PW Shops First Phase 1 at an estimated cost of $8,2 $9.5 million, additional
funding of $5.7 $4-4 million is needed. The current funding has the PW Shops split 50/50 between the General fund
(Streets, Facilities, & Fleet) and the Enterprise funds (Water, Sewer, & Surface Water). To continue with this 50/50 division,
the General fund will need to budget $2.85 $.2,2 million and the Utilities would fund the remaining $2.85 $2,2 million.
Both Water and Sewer Utilities appear to have sufficient unreserved fund balance to absorb the additional costs, further
analysis is needed to determine if the Surface Water utility can absorb the additional costs with the current rate model.
There is funding available in all three of the Water/Sewer/Surface Water Utilities to fund the $2.85 $2,2 million that will not
impact utility rates or capital improvement projects.
FINANCING PLAN
To fund the gap of $2.85 $2,2 million in the General fund, funds can come from two sources. A transfer of $1 million from
the general fund to the arterial street fund is currently budgeted in 2020. Because there is currently a healthy fund balance
due to impact fees exceeding budget, the budgeted transfer can be redirected to the PW Shops project fund. Additionally,
the 2020 general fund budget has a budgeted surplus of $1.4 million and could be utilized to fund the remaining request of
$1.2 million. St-aff4,41-walic-thr-Gugh-the-entire-finanGing-plan-at-the-meeting-G1:1-Osteber--8720-19,
Due to favorable interest rates in the bond market, coupled with the City's upgrade in rating from AA to AA+, total debt
service for the 2019 LTGO bond issue was $3.6 million less than budgeted (attached in updated financing schedule). The
resulting savings will be realized in the general fund and utility funds over the life of the bonds, which is 20 years. The
general fund will realize savings of approximately $2.8 million and the utility funds will realize a combined savings of
$800,000.
Minkler Shops Interim Improvements
Until we take possession of the UPS site in 2023, Minkler Shops will require some improvements in the interim. Currently
there are limited bathroom facilities, only one shower, and the locker room does not have adequate space. Proposed
improvements include an expansion of the men's restroom, relocating the locker room and building a new mud room. Also
proposed are safety and security upgrades that include additional yard lighting and main gate improvements. The existing
gate is currently not automated and left open during the day as staff come and go. The cost estimate for the Minkler Shops
Interim Improvements are $500,000 and would be included in a new CIP project with funding from the Utility Enterprise
funds.
