Re: Capital Improvement Program (Fiscal Year 2000 - Fiscal Year 2004)
Date: April 5, 1999
Pursuant to Section 5-3 of the Agawam Home Rule Charter, I hereby submit the Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal
Year 2000 through Fiscal Year 2004 to the Agawam Town Council. The Capital Improvement Program is a prioritized plan of
proposed capital improvements over the next f ive f iscal years. The major purposes of the Capital Improvement Program are:
► to prioritize proposed capital improvement projects;
► to research and estimate the revenue necessary to f and proposed capital improvement projects;
► to set parameters on the revenue dedicated to fund proposed capital improvement projects; and
* to forecast future principal and interest expenditures.
The program presented represents a realistic financially feasible long term program. With the fiscal uncertainty
presented by the end of the Education Reform Act in FY2000, as well as, diminishing state grant and project reimbursement
money, the proposed plan may be delayed in its implementation. As revenue estimates become available, revisions will be made
and incorporated in the capital budget portion of the annual budget. Please call with any questions.
Respectfully submitted,
Christop r C. o nson, Mayor

For the purposes of this Capital Improvement Program,a capital improvement is defined as a project or undertaking which
provides for (i) the planning, design, construction, reconstruction, renovation or replacement of a public building or facility; (ii)
an addition to a public building or facility; (iii)the purchase of land, buildings or facilities for a public purpose; or (iv)a long range
development study. While the type of improvement is the basic criteria, a project costing at least $20,000 that has a life
expectancy of ten (10) years or more is also generally considered to be a capital improvement.
The Capital Improvement Program is designed to accomplish the following purposes:
1. To utilize town funds for capital improvements which are compatible with the town's mission of
effective and efficient provision of quality services to the citizens and businesses of Agawam which
in turn enhances the quality of life in our community;
2. To undertake Capital Improvement Projects on a planned and coordinated basis;
3. To inform the community when needed and planned Capital Improvement Projects and corresponding
expenditures are to be expected and initiated in the future;
4. To utilize town funds on the basis of community priorities in coordination with the availability of
grants and/or other state, federal or private reimbursements; and
2
5. To undertake Capital Improvements after careful planning and financial analysis to avoid an undue
burden on the town's f iscal capacity and the taxpayers now and in the future.
Even after many years of increased capital investment, the town is still faced with many desperately needed projects
which have to be undertaken in spite of projected limited revenue growth. Fiscal restraint and careful planning are required to
assure long term stability,and care must be taken in project development and implementation in order that bond sales are timed
so that principal and interest costs occur in the year scheduled.
In developing this Capital Improvement Program the following general assumptions on fiscal capacity were assumed and
applied;
1, Growth in total property tax revenues will continue to be limited by the restraints of proposition 21
and no debt exclusion overrides are contemplated in this plan;
2. The town will pursue the maximum properly tax revenue allowed by Proposition 21;
3. For the upcoming fiscal year and future years, the Administration is continuing to recommend a
greater emphasis be placed on capital improvements; and
4. buring the next f ive years, the town should,
a. Limit General Fund principal and interest payments to approximately $1.65 million
dollars per year;
b. Appropriate as much funding as possible annually from the general fund for capital
improvements on a pay as you go basis while maintaining existing service levels; and
C. Utilize the Stabilization Fund to assist in meeting the above referenced goal for a
level budgetary impact of future principal and interest payments.
3
The process of capital planning involves setting priorities within the fiscal capability of the town. Each year the entire
plan is reviewed in light of changing needs and requirements, There are more needs f or improvements by town departments that
can be included in a five year time period.
In developing the recommended Capital Improvement Program, the following priorities were addressed:
1. Crowfh - The town must meet the needs of a growing population and at the same time direct and
manage growth through the timing of public utility expansion;
2. ,Improve or Assist 5crvice b li� - Projects that will reduce the need for staff increases or make
staff operations more efficient have been given priority;
3. Facili o - _New and Maintenance of Existing Facjlities - When Proposition 2 1 was implemented
communities were forced to delay constructing new facilities and defer maintenance on existing
facilities which has led to an accumulated need for new facilities and the provision of maintenance
to existing facilities; and
4, Prior commitments - The Town is bound by commitments made in prior years, The commitments
were considered in the proposed budget and program.
The attached Capital Improvement Program was developed around the previously cited constraints and program objectives,
It includes a bonding and appropriation plan for each of the five program years,a brief description of each project item, spread
sheets and charts showing existing and proposed bond payments and graphical representations of these payments.

From: Christopher C. Johnson, Mayor
Re: Capital Improvement Program (Fiscal Year 2000 - Fiscal Year 2004)
Date: April 5, 1999
Pursuant to Section 5-3 of the Agawam Home Rule Charter, I hereby submit the Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal
Year 2000 through Fiscal Year 2004 to the Agawam Town Council. The Capital Improvement Program is a prioritized plan of
proposed capital improvements over the next five fiscal years. The major purposes of the Capital Improvement Program are:
► to prioritize proposed capital improvement projects;
► to research and estimate the revenue necessary to fund proposed capital improvement projects;
► to set parameters on the revenue dedicated to fund proposed capital improvement projects; and
► to forecast future principal and interest expenditures.
The program presented represents a realistic financially feasible long term program. With the fiscal uncertainty
presented by the end of the Education Reform Act in FY2000, as well as, diminishing state grant and project reimbursement
money, the proposed plan may be delayed in its implementation. As revenue estimates become available, revisions will be made
and incorporated in the capital budget portion of the annual budget. Please call with any questions.
Respectfully submitted,
C::

INTRObUCTION
For the purposes of this Capital Improvement Program,a capital improvement is defined as a project or undertaking which
provides for (i) the planning, design, construction, reconstruction, renovation or replacement of a public building or facility; (ii)
an addition to a public building or facility; (iii)the purchase of land, buildings or facilities for a public purpose; or (iv)a long range
development study. While the type of improvement is the basic criteria, a project costing at least $20,000 that has a life
expectancy of ten (10) years or more is also generally considered to be a capital improvement.
The Capital Improvement Program is designed to accomplish the following purposes;
1. To utilize town funds for capital improvements which are compatible with the town's mission of
effective and efficient provision of quality services to the citizens and businesses of Agawam which
in turn enhances the quality of life in our community;
2. To undertake Capital Improvement Projects on a planned and coordinated basis;
3. To inform the community when needed and planned Capital Improvement Projects and corresponding
expenditures are to be expected and initiated in the future;
4. To utilize town funds on the basis of community priorities in coordination with the availability of
grants and/or other state, federal or private reimbursements; and
2
�■■� rr r rl r r r I� � Ili r■r r� � � r tl� l� r r
5. To undertake Capital Improvements after careful planning and financial analysis to avoid an undue
burden on the town's fiscal capacity and the taxpayers now and in the future.
Even after many years of increased capital investment, the town is still faced with many desperately needed projects
which have to be undertaken in spite of projected limited revenue growth. Fiscal restraint and careful planning are required to
assure long term stability,and care must be taken in project development and implementation in order that bond sales are timed
so that principal and interest costs occur in the year scheduled.
In developing this Capital Improvement Program the following general assumptions on fiscal capacity were assumed and
applied:
1. Growth in total property tax revenues will continue to be limited by the restraints of Proposition 2Y
and no debt exclusion overrides are contemplated in this plan;
2. The town will pursue the maximum property tax revenue allowed by Proposition 2";
3. For the upcoming fiscal year and future years, the Administration is continuing to recommend a
greater emphasis be placed on capital improvements; and
4. During the next five years, the town should:
a. Limit General Fund principal and interest payments to approximately $1.65 million
dollars per year;
b. Appropriate as much funding as possible annually from the general fund for capital
improvements on a pay as you go basis while maintaining existing service levels; and
c. Utilize the Stabilization Fund to assist in meeting the above referenced goal for a
level budgetary impact of future principal and interest payments.
3
r rr r r� l• r l� r r rr ■r rr �r I. ■w r l» r r
The process of capital planning involves setting priorities within the fiscal capability of the town. Each year the entire
plan is reviewed in light of changing needs and requirements. There are more needs for improvements by town departments that
can be included in a five year time period.
In developing the recommended Capital Improvement Program, the following priorities were addressed:
1. Growth - The town must meet the needs of a growing population and at the same time direct and
manage growth through the timing of public utility expansion;
2. Improve or Assist i i - Projects that will reduce the need for staff increases or make
staff operations more efficient have been given priority;
3. Facilities - New and Maintenance of Existing Facilities - When Proposition 2 1 was implemented
communities were forced to delay constructing new facilities and defer maintenance on existing
facilities which has led to an accumulated need for new facilities and the provision of maintenance
to existing facilities; and
4. Prior cQmmitments - The Town is bound by commitments made in prior years. The commitments
were considered in the proposed budget and program.
The attached Capital Improvement Program was developed around the previously cited constraints and program objectives.
It includes a bonding and appropriation plan for each of the f ive program years,a brief description of each project item, spread
sheets and charts showing existing and proposed bond payments and graphical representations of these payments.
