39 Terms used in this Capital Improvement Program CIP Project Classifications CIP Projects are classified in one of four classifications: CIP Projects Recommended for Funding - Projects and acquisitions included have been sufficiently developed and defined as to clearly identify the scope and cost of the project and the recommended funding sources. It is highly likely that projects in this class will eventually be authorized for completion and funding. CIP Projects In Development - Projects and acquisitions of this class are under active consideration but have not been sufficiently developed or defined to clearly identify the scope or cost of the project. Typically, projects in this category are being evaluated from several alternatives, or there is not sufficient confidence in the cost estimates to determine whether the project should be recommended for funding. CIP Projects Not Recommended - Projects and acquisitions of this class have been identified or requested by departments or others but are either insufficiently developed or defined, or have been deemed to be beyond the funding capacity of the Town. These projects may receive consideration at a future date should circumstances warrant. CIP Projects Non-Town Funded - Projects to be completed and funded solely by entities other than the Town, with an estimated operational cost impact to the Town of less than $25,000, are of interest to the Town in its planning efforts. However, as they have a minimal, or no, impact on Town finances, they are shown separately from Town funded projects CIP.xlsx Terms Page 15 Proposed: April 18, 2017 Public Hearing: May 11, 2017

40 CIP Definitions Terms used in this Capital Improvement Program Capital Project or Acquisition A CIP project, item, or a network or system of items must have a cost of at least $100,000 and a life expectancy of five years or more. The terms project and projects shall include items that are acquisitions. Network or System of Items - Items that are intended to be a part of a larger network or system, that when purchased individually may have a cost of less than $100,000. For example, a computer network may be comprised of several components, each of which cost less than $100,000, but as a group comprise a network costing $100,000 or more. Vehicle Replacement Program A systematic annual funding process for the replacement of fleet vehicles and equipment. These programs shall be included as items in the CIP even when the annual funding is less than $100,000. Work Programs Refers to capital project work generally performed by department or contracted resources and funded annually. These programs shall be included as items in the CIP. Minor Capital Refers to items that, although capital in nature, do not meet the above definitions of a project or acquisition, or of a system or network of items. Minor capital items should be included in the Town s annual operating budget. Operating costs Refers to the ongoing annual costs associated with a capital project or acquisition. The Town shall identify the estimated annual operating cost impact (net increase or decrease) related to a project when those operating cost impact to the Town is estimated to be $25,000 or greater. Debt - Related Terminology Existing Debt Service - The existing debt service costs taken from the current debt service schedules. It represents the actual current obligations of the Town. Enterprise Debt - This is debt on the Town's solid waste landfill facilities. The debt service for those facilities is intended to be recovered through user fees or subsidy. TIF Debt - This is debt intended to be paid with Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Revenues. Debt Authorized But Not Issued - This is an estimate of the debt service costs on projects that have been authorized but for which debt has not yet been issued. These are estimates. The actual costs will be determined by project costs, structure of the bond issues, and prevailing interest rates at the time the bonds are issued. Proposed New Debt - The debt service costs for new projects proposed in the CIP. These are estimates. The actual costs will be determined by project costs, structure of the bond issues, and prevailing interest rates at the time the bonds are issued. State School Construction Debt Service Subsidy - The State of Maine Department of Education (DOE) assists school units with state-approved construction projects under a complex arrangement. First, the DOE, after extensive review of a proposed school construction project, determines a level of project costs that it deems eligible for state subsidy. Then, the annual debt service for those eligible costs is included in the calculation of the unit s annual subsidy of all of its education costs, using the State s Essential Programs and Service (EPS) funding model. The EPS model uses a number or variables that will change annually. Further, the model is subject to change by the actions of the State Legislature and the DOE. Also, the annual level of EPS funding is determined in the State budget process. School debt service subsidy estimates are intended only for planning purposes. Future estimates and actual subsidy payments may be materially different CIP.xlsx Terms (2) Page 16 Proposed: April 18, 2017 Public Hearing: May 11, 2017

The sum of $480,207 is appropriated from the Town s unassigned General Fund Balance for the following acquisitions and projects as further defined in the CIP: a.

This fund to be used in the same manner as the Vehicle/Equip Reserve Funds, to manage the substantial maintenance/repair projects on Town buildings costing between $10,000 and $100,000 - which are too large for department budgets, but not large enough to be considered individually within the CIP.

Police Cruisers outfit project, $80,207 This project includes an in-cruiser digital video system for 9 marked cruisers and the Marine Resources vehicle.

This system is used for gathering video and audio evidence in traffic stops, as well as other incidents that fall within the scope of the video camera in the cruiser and the microphone in the cruiser and worn by the officer. The project also includes "cruiser based portable radio repeaters" installed in each of our marked police cruisers, and our Marine Resources vehicle, that would enhance the short band signal, improving the transmission to the Communications Center from the portables.

The Town Manager, at the Town Manager s discretion, is authorized to abandon or discontinue any project, either prior to, or at any point in, the life of the project. Section 3.
