Appendix J
Capital Projects Prioritization Policy
exceeds available funds and staff resources, the Park District utilizes the worksheet which consists of organizational priorities within the following categories: Core Recreation Values, Strategic Plan and Open Space and Recreation Master Plan, and Financial Sustainability (1 st quarter). (Note: the Project Evaluation Worksheet is updated periodically in order to reflect organizational changes regarding core values, planning documents, etc.) 2.3.2 To provide context and insight, the total scores from the Project Evaluation Worksheets are separated into service extension and development project types and then grouped into the following: • Tier 1: Project scores in the upper third of all priority scores will be positioned within the first 3 years of the 10 Year Capital Overview. • Tier 2: Project scores in the middle third of all priority scores will be positioned within years 4-6 of the 10 Year Capital Overview. • Tier 3: Project scores in the lowest third of all priority scores will be positioned with years 7-10 of the 10 Year Capital Overview. 2.4 The score sheets and 10 Year Capital Overview featuring the positions of new capital projects will be provided to Parks and Recreation Committee members for review The Parks and Recreation Committee will discuss and reposition any new capital projects (if needed). Additionally, the committee will confirm the list of capital projects to be implemented in the next budget year as well as the capital projects to be included within the 3 Year Budget. Following the committee’s recommendation, a list of park sites to be visited as part of the annual Capital Projects Tour and updated 3 Year Capital Budget will be provided to the Park Board (1 st /2 nd quarter). 2.5 The Leadership Team and Park Board will participate in a group tour of park sites involving capital projects slated for development the following year. Additionally, the tour will allow the opportunity for addressing any project related questions regarding operations/maintenance and recreation programming revenue/expenses. (Note: the operations/maintenance costs and recreation costs and revenue will be incorporated within the 3 Year Budget. This document is expected to provide an in-depth view of the organization’s financials.) The primary goal of the tour is to confirm the capital projects slated for development the following year (1 st /2 nd quarter). 2.6 The projects confirmed for development the following year as part of the Capital Projects Tour will be presented at a Public Open House event before a Park Board meeting or workshop. After the event, staff will share the feedback with the Park Board (3 rd quarter). 2.7 Based on input from the community and Park Board, staff will update the 3 Year Budget, including the 3 Year Capital Budget, in preparation for the annual Capital Projects Prioritization Policy Page 3
