PROJECTS BY YEAR (PAGES 12-17) A detailed listing of projects by year is located on pages 12-17. 2020 projects will be included in the 2020 Budget that will be adopted by Council in December. The 2021-2024 should be considered a planning tool, and the projects included for 2020 will serve as a work plan for staff. PROJECTS BY TYPE (PAGES 18-27) Projects have been classified as: •Buildings (except the fire station) •Administration •Fire •Parks & Recreation •Public Works Equipment •Streets •Trails •Storm •Water and Sewer 2020 highlights by project type and significant future projects are as follows: Buildings (Page 18) Staff met with representatives from Johnson Controls in July and engaged them to conduct an analysis of building systems at all City buildings. The report indicated that staff was doing an excellent job of efficiently operating city facilities, but there were several recommended improvements which were incorporated into the Capital Projects budget. Highlights of building improvements in the Capital Projects budget include: •Proposed siding replacement at City Center (Preliminary estimate of $35,000) •Miscellaneous efficiency upgrades at the City Center for $55,000. This includes furnace replacements and preliminary costs for staff bathroom upgrades. •Miscellaneous office furniture and reconfiguration of the front office space at the City Center (Preliminary estimate of $5,200) •Cover for cold asphalt mix and black dirt at Public Works Building. The anticipated cost is approximately $10,000. Administration (Page 19) The City of Little Canada has traditionally required administrative employees to utilize their private vehicles for inspection activities. While employees are reimbursed for their mileage expenses, they are not readily identifiable as a City employee. This also creates additional liability issues when conducting official city business in a private vehicle. Staff is recommending that up to $23,000 be included in the 2020 Capital Projects budget for the purchase of a small all-wheel drive SUV. The vehicle would be used primarily for rental licensing and code enforcement inspections, but could also be utilized by other administrative staff for meetings or conferences when needed. Additional capital project expenditures in the Administration Department include standard computer upgrades ($8,020) and replacement of the multi-function copier ($15,000). 3
