DISCUSSION:
The City of Springfield’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year Community
Reinvestment Plan that describes the near-term program for funding, evaluation, and construction
of City owned and operated public facilities. A fundamental purpose of the CIP is to facilitate the
efficient use of capital resources to maintain, improve, and expand City assets. The underlying
concept is to strategically prioritize and program these resources to extend the useful life of
existing assets, replace assets before failure, and to support growth with timely expansion.
Draft project lists have been compiled for the City of Springfield 2025-2029 CIP for Streets and
Transportation, Wastewater, Stormwater, and Buildings and Facilities. The draft project lists are
ready for review and discussion by the City Council. The Planning Commission reviewed the draft
CIP during a work session and will conduct a public hearing to vote and recommend approval of
the draft FY25-FY29 CIP project lists to the City Council in December.
The project lists are restructured into three sections: currently budgeted and recently completed
projects, proposed projects with detailed project pages, and unfunded needs. These items are
detailed in the attached Communication Memorandum. The readers guide to the CIP, which is the
front-end portion of the document, has also been updated and included as a separate attachment.
These documents will be combined for the final version of the CIP which will be brought to the
City Council for a public hearing and adoption on January 2024.

COUNCIL GOALS/
MANDATE:
Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
Maintaining and adopting an annual CIP is integral to implementing several Council Goals, but
it is critical to maintaining and improving City owned infrastructure and facilities, or identifying
new infrastructure needs as the City grows.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Springfield’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year Community
Reinvestment Plan that describes the near-term program for funding, evaluation, and
construction of City owned and operated public facilities. A fundamental purpose of the CIP is
to facilitate the efficient use of capital resources to maintain, improve, and expand City assets.
The underlying concept is to strategically prioritize and program these resources to extend the
useful life of existing assets, replace assets before failure, and to support growth with timely
expansion of key infrastructure.
The CIP is typically updated on a biennial basis and was last updated in the fall of 2021 and adopted
by the City Council in early 2022. The CIP update schedule is set to ensure that adoption of the
plan occurs prior to preparation of the draft capital budget which typically begins the end of
January each year.
The CIP is an intermediate step in a process that originates with long term planning activities that
anticipate the need for public facilities at least 20 years into the future and concludes with the
adoption of the annual Capital Budget to appropriate funds to construction projects. Operation and
maintenance cost of City owned assets is appropriated separately in the City’s budget.
As the interim step in the process, the CIP identifies the facilities concepts that may reasonably be
expected to be required in the next five years, refines those concepts, and provides a priority list of
projects. Priority projects are selected from the long list of needed capital improvements identified in
the various master plans and refinement plans. The draft project lists are then presented to both the
Planning Commission and the City Council for public review and comment prior to adoption by the
City Council.

MEMORANDUM Page 2
Over the last decade, the City has seen the wastewater and stormwater funds stabilize, which has
supported completion of several projects and funding to be programmed for the next suite of
projects identified within the City’s adopted master plans. The City is currently in the midst of a
Wastewater Master Plan update that assesses capital needs for the next 20 years. The draft
project list from this effort has been used to inform the wastewater section for this CIP update
and will be utilized for future updates. Street and Transportation funds have not seen growth to
keep pace with operating costs and provide for robust capital spending. The City relies on
federal and state funding sources to support a majority of street and transportation projects and
relies on street fund revenues and systems development charges to provide required match to
outside funding sources. The City Council has directed staff to prepare a proposed project list
and other materials to consider seeking voter approval of another street preservation bond next
year.
The project section of the 2025-2029 CIP is organized by asset system with three sections for
each system. The first section is a table that has details for the projects that are either in the
current capital budget or have been completed since the last CIP update. The next section is the
project detail sheets for those projects proposed to be programmed over the next five-year
cycle. The last section is another table detailing the list of currently unfunded or partially funded
projects. As appropriate resources become available or potential grant opportunities are
identified these lists will be used to match projects with those priorities.
Stormwater – In review of the current capital budget and the previous CIP, a majority of the
projects have been placed into a hold status. This is due to anticipation of focusing limited
capital delivery staffing resources to delivery of the potential 2024 GO Bond street preservation
projects, as well as Phase 2 of the federal aid funded Franklin Blvd. Roundabout
Project. However, water quality initiatives are being advanced as many of the street projects
incorporate improvements to treat runoff from street surfaces.
Street and Transportation – Currently all of the street segments scheduled for preservation
through the voter approved five-year general obligation bond are completed. Several safety and
pedestrian projects were also completed over the past two years such as the Aster St. ADA
Ramp Project, Jasper Dondea RRFB, Meadow Park ADA Ramp Project, Virginia-Daisy
Bikeway – Phase 1A, S. 32nd and Virginia RRFB, and Jasper Rd/Filbert Ln SRTS Project.
Many others such as the Sidewalk Filling the Gaps, Franklin Blvd./OR22 Environmental Study,
Franklin Blvd. Roundabouts Phase 2, 42nd St. Levee Study, S28th St. Paving, Virginia-Daisy
Bikeway Phase 2, Mill St. Reconstruction, Laura St. Reconstruction, Signal Enhancements
Project, S 42nd/Daisy Roundabout and 42nd St. Overlay are in the design phase with
construction anticipated in 2024 or 2025. If the passage of a GO Bond project package is
successful it is anticipated planning and design for preservation of several additional street
segments will start in late 2024.
Wastewater – Several sewer projects have been completed over the last couple of years
including 42nd-48th Sanitary Sewer Rehab, S. 28th St. Sanitary Sewer Extension, and S. 37th/S.
38th/Osage Sewer Replacement. The Jasper Trunk Sewer – Phase 3 and 70th St and 72nd St.
Wastewater Basin Rehab Projects are currently in the design phase with anticipated construction
in either 2024 or 2025. Wastewater improvements are also planned for the Mill Street project
which is currently in the design phase with construction planned in 2024. Additionally, the
Wastewater Master Plan is being updated and certain portions of the Capacity, Management,
Operations, and Maintenance (CMOM) program are proposed to be included as
policy. Adoption of the updated document is expected in 2024. In anticipation of this update,
some of the identified rehabilitation needs are considered with this CIP update.
Buildings and Facilities – Available funding for building and facilities projects is very limited so
Attachment 1 Page 2 of 3
MEMORANDUM Page 3
there is a long list of identified unfunded projects or programs. However, upgrades to City Hall
including security and Council Hall improvements and the Building G roof at Booth-Kelly were
completed. Additional upgrades to at City Hall are planned for 2024 and 2025. Many of these
projects have been funded through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS:
As stated earlier, many of the stormwater and wastewater projects have been on hold due to
staffing resources. The majority of capital staff workload has been focused on delivering street
and transportation projects. A change to this focus for current staff is not anticipated for the near
or intermediate term as the City is seeking to pass another street preservation bond and several
federal grant funded transportation projects are currently programmed.
Given that the wastewater and stormwater funds are very stable with healthy reserves and a
steady annual revenue stream, Community Development will be recommending an increase in
capital staffing levels for FY25. If approved, new staff would be dedicated to delivery of
wastewater and stormwater priority projects.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The CIP does not carry budget authority. It is, however, a valuable planning tool used to guide
staff, the Budget Committee, and the City Council in creating the annual budget to fund priority
projects.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Council is requested to review and provide consensus for
the recommended five-year CIP. The CIP, as modified by any Council input, will be brought
back to the Council for public comment and adoption at their January 16, 2024, regular meeting.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROJECT PAGES
Once projects are identified and selected for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Program, a project
page is created for the project. The project page includes important information about a project such
as: project description, relation to plans and policies, and status. This information is important for
conveying and tracking details as each project moves from concept to construction. The following is a
list and description of these elements:
Project Description – This is a description or early scope for a project. Many times this description will
be very broad as it may be taken from a master plan or refinement plan and most likely in conceptual
form. The actual scope of a project is generally refined through the various phases of project planning,
design and delivery.
Project Status – Status describes the current stage of the Project, e.g. Planning, design, or construction.
Specific Plans/Policies related to this Project – This is a list of the various Council Goals, master plans,
refinement plans, adopted policies, and/or reports that relate to a project.
Expenditure Schedule – Lists various project activities and estimates the timing and cost to accomplish
the project activity.
Funding Source – Describes how and when a project will/needs to be funded and the source of that
funding (e.g., bonds, capital funds, SDCs, grants).

STORMWATER
Overview
Stormwater projects fall into several categories:
Stormwater Studies – These projects typically fund the study of an area or basin to review current
conditions and model future conditions to determine capital investment needs such as water quality
facilities, repairs and upgrades, or system expansion.
Stormwater Rehab/Improvements – These projects typically provide upgrades to the City’s existing
stormwater system or the removal of inactive or potentially unsafe storm lines. Projects may include the
repair and upsizing of storm lines, or the addition of storm lines to reduce localized flooding and
enhance system performance.
Capacity Enhancement – These projects typically provide additional capacity to an existing stormwater
system that is currently undersized or address capacity needs that have been identified to support
future growth. These types of improvements may include an additional detention pond, detention
facilities, offline water quality treatment facilities, or increased pipe capacity.
Restoration and enhancement – These projects typically involve restoring or enhancing streams and
waterways. Projects may include repairing channel deterioration, providing access for fish passage,
removal of invasive plant species and enhancing native species, or improving flow capacity.
New Facilities - These projects typically add new capacity to the system by constructing new stormwater
facilities because of or in anticipation of new development, or permit requirements to expand treatment
capacity. Projects may include storm lines or water quality facilities built as part of a new subdivision or
identified in the Stormwater Master Plan. Projects may also include the extension of stormwater
pipelines to support growth.

MS4 Permit Requirements
Development and Public Works
Project Description:
Develop and implement programs and projects to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharge requirements. In 2003, the City applied for an
MS4 permit from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), which authorizes the City to lawfully
discharge stormwater to the McKenzie and Willamette Rivers and their tributaries. The Permit was renewed in 2021
and requires the City to implement programs and capital projects that improve stormwater quality. Data show that
stormwater in Springfield waterways routinely violates water quality standards established to protect human health and
aquatic life. This project provides for minor capital improvements and/or capital equipment purchases necessary and
appropriate to address high priority water quality problem areas.

Riparian Land Management
Development and Public Works
Project Description:
This project provides funding to purchase riparian area lands from private property owners where needed to meet City
and regulatory objectives for water quality, stormwater management, flood control and habitat protection. It also
provides funding for consultant services to evaluate riparian buffer areas, City and other activities affecting them.
Property acquisitions will typically result in increased operational spending to maintain city owned property. Projects
developed on property acquired may, however, produce savings through reduced spending for flood control, water
quality improvement, and wetland mitigation activities. Project funding levels have been reduced to conform to
eligibility levels for improvement SDCs. Council adoption and implementation of a reimbursement SDC may permit
restoration of prior funding levels.

TRANSPORTATION
Overview
Transportation projects fall into the categories noted below:
Planning and Project Development – These projects range from larger facility planning, to concept
project planning, to specific project development. Funding for these projects relies heavily on Federal
and State funds, with City funds used to supplement project budgets and, in some cases, provide
required match funding to external resources. Current examples of this in the CIP are Mill Street
Reconstruction and Franklin Boulevard Phase 2 Improvements.
Maintenance and Operations – These projects are typically programmatic and can provide funding for a
range of activities within each project. Street Light Infill and Pole Replacement, Traffic Control Projects,
and Intelligent Transportation System investments fall into this category.
Pavement Preservation – These projects are identified by the Operations Division through the
Infrastructure Management System. Funding for these projects relies heavily on local and State fuel tax
revenues and are supplemented with Transportation Reimbursements SDCs, and federal dollars
programmed at the discretion of the Central Lane Metropolitan Planning organization (MPO). Examples
of pavement preservation projects is the Street Seal and Overlay program identified in this CIP and the
Street Bond preservation projects identified in the previous CIP and current Capital Budget.
System Improvement, Existing – These projects typically either bring existing infrastructure up to the
adopted urban standards, or make capacity and safety improvements to existing facilities. Funding for
these projects rely on all available resources. A current example of these types of projects in the CIP is
the Filling the Gaps – Safe Routes to Schools project.
System Improvement, New Facilities – These projects typically add new infrastructure to the City’s
transportation system and are identified within the various planning documents. The trigger for these
projects is driven mostly by growth and an identified future need to relieve stress on the system. Project
funding relies on all available sources.

Project Description:
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires the City to maintain a "Transition Plan" that details how it will
bring facilities that were not in compliance at the adoption of the act, up to the newly adopted standards. Currently, the
City policy is to correct defects as projects occur and to make improvements as requests are received from citizens
who make their need known. This project will set aside funds to be used for high priority locations that are identified,
and will allow the City to respond in a timely manner to those requests.

WASTEWATER
Overview
Wastewater projects included in this CIP fall into two categories:
Preservation and Rehabilitation – These projects typically involve upgrading the current wastewater
system. Projects may include the rehabilitation of existing sanitary sewer lines, laterals and connections
to reduce infiltration and inflow of groundwater into the system.
New Facilities – These projects typically involve the construction of new wastewater facilities as a result,
or in anticipation of new development. Projects may include sanitary sewer lines built as part of a new
subdivision and extension of sanitary sewer trunk lines.

BUILDINGS AND PROPERTY
Overview
The Buildings and Property section identifies and programs available funds for a variety of projects that
may include construction of new facilities; maintenance, repair, or renovation of existing facilities; and
the demolition of unnecessary or un-maintainable facilities. As the City of Springfield grows, so does the
need for municipal public services. These services come with an associated infrastructure that requires
continual monitoring, maintenance, replacement and/or additions.
Currently funding is only identified for one ongoing program which is the general ongoing Building
Preservation program. Several other projects are identified in the Unfunded Priority Project List. On the
overall buildings and Facilities needs list, there are projects at all City-owned buildings, including City
Hall, Fire Stations, Museum, Justice Center, Depot, and Development and Public Works Operations
Division Facilities.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The City of Springfield’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year Community Reinvestment Plan
that identifies capital investments necessary in the next five-year horizon to sustain, improve, and grow
City assets and infrastructure systems. A fundamental purpose of the CIP is to prioritize and balance
capital needs with capital funding resources. The underlying concept is to program all reasonably
available sources of revenue for future expenditures. Since projected revenue sources may produce
significantly less than the needs identified in the City’s infrastructure facilities plans and asset
management system, the CIP is used as the vehicle to balance priorities and funding while maintaining
good stewardship over City assets.
The CIP is updated on a biennial schedule and is an intermediate step in a process that originates with
long term planning activities that anticipate the need for public facilities at least 20 years into the future
and concludes with the adoption of the annual Capital Budget. Based on available information during
each update cycle, projects are selected and prioritized from the long list of needed capital
improvements identified through the City’s asset management program and from the various master
plans and refinement plans adopted by the City Council. Traditionally, the principal constraints in
developing the CIP are the realistic availability of staff and financial resources to support the timely
completion of each cycle’s project portfolio.
The first two years of the CIP will be the basis for developing the City’s Capital Budget for FY25 and FY29
with such modifications as are necessary or prudent to respond to immediate concerns and the often-
fluid nature of funding opportunities. In preparation of the capital budget, it is important to consider not
only the immediate availability of financial resources, but also the availability of resources to manage
planning, design, and construction activities. This may mean staff resources to conduct those activities in
house, or to manage consultants who take on responsibility for design and construction management. A
successful capital budget must be mindful of budgeting only those projects or project phases that the
City has the capacity to deliver. The Development and Public Works Department maintains two capital
project delivery groups, one for the delivery of local projects presented in this document, and the
second for delivery of regional projects for the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission
capital improvement program.
Projects that are currently in Capital Budget and in various stages of planning, design, and construction
are shown in a table at the beginning of each specific infrastructure program section. At the end of each
program section the CIP includes a list of projects that have been identified through various facilities
planning efforts but are currently unfunded or not programmed due to staff resource limitations. These
projects are aimed at improving neighborhoods, providing for economic growth, improving traffic
safety, mobility, and access, complying with environmental standards, and maintaining the existing city
infrastructure.
Attachment 3, Page 2 of 19
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW
The public input process for the CIP typically begins every other year in August when citizens,
organizations, and City staff are asked to suggest projects for consideration in the CIP. The Planning
Commission and the City Council then review the draft CIP and a public hearing is held prior to Council
adoption.
August: CIP project review process starts
September: Capital project requests go to Public and City Departments
September: publish Internal draft CIP
October/November: Planning Commission reviews Draft CIP
December/January: City Council work session review and Public Hearing on Draft CIP
January/February: Draft Capital Budget Prepared
April/May: Capital Budget presented to Budget Committee
The City’s final commitment to spend public funds occurs through the annual City budget process.
Although the CIP is the starting point for the annual Capital Budget, the projects budgeted each year can
vary somewhat from those proposed in the CIP.
PROJECT CATEGORIZATION
Projects in the CIP are grouped by relevant infrastructure program areas (stormwater, streets and
transportation, wastewater, and buildings and facilities). The first list of projects in each program area
are those that have been had funds programmed in previous CIPs and are in the current capital budget.
The next set of projects are those that are proposed for programming and budgeting over the next five-
year period and are described in detailed projects sheets. The final list of projects in each program area
are high priority needs that are not scheduled to be programmed over the next five-year period due to
lack of funding or staffing resources. Should available resources be identified, these projects may be
budgeted before the next CIP update.
The following are descriptions of the City’s most significant projects in the CIP:
Franklin Boulevard Phase 2 – The Franklin Boulevard Reconstruction Project will construct modern urban
standards improvements on the old Hwy 99 alignment in Glenwood called Franklin Boulevard between
the Franklin/Glenwood intersection and the Franklin/McVay intersection to support Glenwood
redevelopment and regional safety and mobility for transit, bicycles/pedestrians, and autos. Phase 1
has been completed with the construction of the roundabouts at the Franklin/McVay intersection and
improvements extending just west of Concord Street. Design of improvements from Mississippi Avenue
to Lexington Avenue is currently underway with funds received in 2020. In November 2021 that City
learned that a U.S. Department of Transportation Rebuilding America, Infrastructure with Sustainability
and Equity (RAISE) Grant was awarded to the project in a joint application with Eugene. This grant
award will fund the construction of the roundabout at Mississippi Avenue. The City continues to seek
funding opportunities to continue advancing the future vision and improvements for Franklin Boulevard.
Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Projects – One of the key goals of the Capacity, Management, Operations,
and Maintenance Program is to eliminate inflow and infiltration (I/I) of groundwater into the sanitary
Attachment 3, Page 3 of 19
sewer system. Utilizing the recently updated and calibrated hydraulic model, sanitary sewer basins with
potential high levels of I/I were identified. Two micro-basins (70th Street and 72nd Street) have been
programmed for rehabilitation in the CIP.
42nd Street Operational, Safety, and Mobility Improvements – Upgrade to address safety and operations,
in particular for freight accessing the OR 126 Expressway-Freight Route and OR 126B-Main St. Upgrade
the UP rail crossing serving the International Paper industrial center, upgrade intersection control at the
westbound OR 126 ramp terminal, add urban level lighting, add ADA-accessible connections from
Olympic St. and Industrial Ave. to the McKenzie Levee Path, add left turn bay on 42nd St. at Industrial
Ave and improve traffic signals at the eastbound OR 126 ramp terminal, Olympic Street and the
International Paper driveways.
Jasper Trunk Sewer Extension – The project begins approximately 1,550’ southeast of Mount Vernon
Road and will extend the wastewater trunk line another mile to the southeast. The Project will
terminate south of Brand S Road. Extension of sanitary service to the extreme south of the urban
growth boundary will aid in the progress of future development.
FINANCING
There are limited sources of funding for capital activity. The principal sources include revenues derived
from user fees or those taxes (such as fuel taxes) which function like user fees. By Council direction,
these are preferentially devoted to preservation of existing infrastructure. The second major source is
Systems Development Charges (SDC), which are designed to recover, from development, the cost
impact that development has on infrastructure, both existing and needed to meet the future demands
of development. A large portion of these revenues must, by law, be devoted to capacity increasing
capital activity. Only that portion of SDC revenue which is derived from a reimbursement fee may be
spent on preservation or rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. A third major source of capital funding
is external contributions, in the form of intergovernmental grants or loans, payments by developers for
specific improvements, and assessments of benefitted property owners, also for specific improvements.
Other sources such as revenue leveraged by tax increment financing in the City’s two urban renewal
districts (Glenwood and Downtown), and revenue from internally generated charges also play a role.
In addition to funding direct project construction, Local Wastewater and Drainage SDC revenues fund
debt service payments for bonds sold to fund prior projects. These projects include both those that
increased capacity and wastewater rehabilitation projects as part of program to reduce inflow and
infiltration and meet permit requirements. The City sold local wastewater revenue bonds in 2009 and
storm drainage revenue bonds in 2010. Wastewater Bond proceeds were dedicated to completing
required rehabilitation projects as well as expanding sanitary sewer service into unserved areas within
the Urban Growth Boundary to promote future growth. Stormwater revenue bonds have been used to
complete several major stormwater initiatives, and several capital projects related to the City’s
obligation to address stormwater quality, permitting and threatened fish impacts.1
1 For bonding purposes, the local wastewater and stormwater utilities are combined into a single sewer utility.
Attachment 3, Page 4 of 19
In 2018 voters passed a 5-year general obligation bond dedicated to street preservation of several
arterial and collector streets across the City. The last of these projects was completed during the 2022
construction season. City staff are preparing to present another 5-year general obligation bond to voters
in 2024. This bond would allow for preservation of another group of streets prioritized by residents and
City Council. In addition, a portion of increased revenue to the street fund from the 2017 State
Transportation Bill (HB 2017) was directed to the slurry seal program allowing for several local
residential streets to be crack sealed and an asphalt slurry to be applied to reseal and preserve the
existing surface. Current revenue projections will allow for small annual program to preserve and
maintain local and residential streets to be funded in the CIP for the next 5-year cycle. Additionally, the
ADA transition program will see a small increase in funding as well as an annual allocation to continue to
advance upgrades to bring City facilities into compliance with current standards improving access to all
users. However, it must be noted that current revenue projections do not support an effective street
preservation program.
System Development Charge (SDC) revenue has remained stable with improvement SDCs the majority
of funds received. Improvement SDC revenue may only be programmed in support of projects that
expand capacity and are on the adopted SDC projects lists. SDC reserves are not sufficient to support all
projects on the list and are typically utilized to leverage external funding sources such as federal and
state grants.
External sources, such as intergovernmental grants, or developer or benefitted property owner
contributions, are an important, but highly volatile funding source. Generally, they do not form the basis
for concluding a project can be funded, but rather when such funding sources develop, can be a trigger
to increase the priority of a project. Recently, the City has had some success in developing external
funding for isolated projects, such as the Mill Street Reconstruction, Franklin Boulevard, and the South
28th Street paving project. Future success is highly dependent upon the fiscal and monetary policies of
other levels of government.
CONCLUSION
The Capital Improvement Program serves as a guide for the City’s needed infrastructure improvements.
It is shaped by citizen input, the best professional judgment of staff and outside experts, and estimates
of the City’s projected financial resources. The CIP is subject to biennial review and revision. The
direction provided by this document helps the City of Springfield target its resources to capital
improvements which best serve the needs of the citizens of Springfield.
Attachment 3, Page 5 of 19
SECTION I CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
CIP GOALS
The goals of the CIP include:
1) Providing a balanced program for capital improvements given reasonably anticipated funding
and staff resources over a five-year or greater planning period and identifying the extent to
which resources can meet capital needs;
2) Improving neighborhoods;
3) Providing for economic and community growth;
4) Improving safety, access, and mobility across all transportation modes;
5) Complying with environmental standards and improving environmental quality;
6) Maintaining the existing City infrastructure; and
7) Protecting public health and safety.
CIP PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW PROCESS
Capital improvements must be consistent with the Metropolitan Area General Comprehensive Plan, the
Public Facilities and Services Plan (PFSP), the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan, The Springfield
Transportation System Plan, and all other Council adopted plans and policies. The relevant plans are
listed in a subsequent section of this report.
In general, all Capital Projects included in the CIP meet one or more of the following criteria:
1) Project addresses State or Federal laws or regulations to eliminate or reduce the potential for
environmental degradation or health hazards or to address issues that affect the safety and
general welfare of the community.
2) Project maintains existing assets, extends the useful life of assets, or improves or expands
infrastructure to facilitate community development and/or improve operations.
3) Project responds to requests from citizens, neighborhood groups, advisory committees, or
government bodies, and provides a public benefit.
4) Project is included in local and/or regional infrastructure plans.
In the adopted CIP only those capital improvements which are funded within the current projections for
the appropriate revenue streams are considered. Projects for which the funding is not identified or
programmed are shown in the unfunded priority project list strictly for informational purposes.
Historically, the CIP has not attempted to consider whether or not the City has the operating resources
(either staff or funding for consultants to manage projects), necessary to advance a particular project.
Attachment 3, Page 6 of 19
TYPES OF CAPITAL NEED
Rehabilitation & Preservation of Existing Capital Assets
The CIP reflects the broad direction of the City Council to preserve existing capital assets before they fall
into disrepair and require expensive rehabilitation or replacement. Preservation is an important tool
used to protect or extend the asset’s useful life. If preservation is not completed on a regular and timely
basis, the asset will deteriorate prematurely and its benefit to the community will be lost. In that event
reconstruction may be required. Reconstruction costs are frequently multiple times the cost of
preservation and maintenance, particularly for street surfaces.
All capital assets require preservation or rehabilitation activities during their useful life and the City must
demonstrate fiscal responsibility by planning for this need. Inclusion of these projects in the CIP is a
necessary step to plan for that preservation and rehabilitation.
New Capital Facilities and Capacity Enhancements
As the City reaches outward into the Urban Growth Boundary or anticipates infill or increased density of
development in the city limits, the need to plan for expansion of capital assets and provide safe and
efficient capital facilities increases. New streets are necessary to provide for the movement of goods
and people and access to property in developing areas. In addition, wastewater and stormwater systems
are necessary to protect water quality, people and the environment in order to preserve the health,
welfare, and safety of the community.
PROJECT SELECTION RESOURCES
The following is a list of various plans with descriptive summaries that guide the decisions made about
CIP project choice. The City draws a distinction between facilities plans, which focus on facility needs
and how systems function, and land use plans, which provide more general guidance. General guidance
can inform the development of facilities plans and can constrain facility development to conform to the
policy set of the land use planning document. (The Springfield Transportation System Plan is somewhat
of an exception to these distinctions, since it is a land use plan that also serves as a facilities plan and
does contain specific project guidance.)
FACILITIES PLANS
Wastewater Master Plan (2008)
The City of Springfield provides wastewater collection and conveyance services by way of a system of
pipelines and pump stations that it owns and operates. Along with the City of Eugene, Springfield
discharges to a regional collection and treatment system owned by the Metropolitan Wastewater
Management Commission (MWMC). Springfield’s Wastewater Master Plan provides an assessment of
existing and future needs for the City’s collection system. Because the City’s system connects to the
regional system, the Master Plan must consider and reflect results of the MWMC’s Since completion of
the Wet Weather Flow Management Plan (WWFMP) in 2010, The City along with its regional partners
(Eugene and MWMC) have written and implemented a Capacity, Management, Operations and
Attachment 3, Page 7 of 19
Maintenance program. One of the key elements was to conduct a gap analysis across all aspects of the
operation and management of the City’s wastewater collection system. For the CIP, a key gap, was
developing and implementing a comprehensive flow monitoring plan that included data collection and
analysis of data to identify necessary projects. The initial phases of this work have completed and will
now inform an update to the Wastewater Master Plan which is currently underway.
The Current Master Plan is intended to identify existing and future capacity constraints, determine
capacity requirements and identify system improvements necessary to meet the City’s projected
population and employment growth through the 2025 planning year. The Department of Environmental
Quality has issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit (#102486) for
Springfield, Eugene and MWMC, which includes conditions under which treated wastewater can be
discharged to the Willamette River. Included in those conditions is a requirement that Springfield,
Eugene and MWMC fully implement a wet weather flow management strategy to comply with the
State’s Bacteria Standard, which prohibits storm related overflows. The standard states that no
untreated wastewater can be discharged to the waters of the State or US, except under the following
conditions: for flows greater than those occurring for the 24-hour duration, 1 in 5-year winter and 1 in
10-year summer storms.
Subsequent to the development and completion of the WWFMP, the Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality, in response to an objection from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is
no longer permitted to include the exceptions for untreated wastewater discharges as provided by the
State’s Bacteria Standard. DEQ is currently placing a prohibition on all overflows from wastewater
conveyance systems and associated pump stations. This regulatory change places additional burden on
the conveyance system operation and maintenance to eliminate all wet weather-related overflows. The
NPDES permit for the regional wastewater treatment plant was renewed in the first quarter of 2022 and
contains the prohibition of all overflows absent a change of policy from EPA.
Stormwater Facilities Master Plan (2008)
In 2008, the City Council adopted a comprehensive Stormwater Facilities Master Plan (SWFMP). The
purpose of this document is to provide a guide to plan for more comprehensive, efficient, and multi-
objective management of the City’s stormwater system. The majority of the City’s stormwater runoff
drains through an integrated network of pipes and open channels, discharging either directly to the
main stem Willamette or McKenzie Rivers or through outfalls to a tributary of either of those rivers.
Prior to the SWFMP, the City typically designed and constructed facilities for treating and conveying
stormwater runoff on an individual development or site-by-site basis. In addition, as is typical for nearly
all cities, most of the City’s stormwater collection and conveyance system was historically designed and
built with the sole objective of addressing flooding issues.
Most of the major portions of the City’s stormwater drainage system infrastructure were built during
the 1960s and as development increased, the system was retrofitted with extensions and additions.
Most of the main conveyance system was not upsized to facilitate the increased flows associated with
full City build out.
Attachment 3, Page 8 of 19
The City also has a Council-adopted Stormwater Management Plan which establishes goals, policies and
implementation actions to address water quality and management of the stormwater system, including
open waterways within the City’s jurisdiction. This plan is required and approved by the Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) as part of its issuance and management of the City’s stormwater discharge
permit. In June of 2021, after a several year process, DEQ issued the City an updated Phase II National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Stormwater Permit. This revised permit
contains more stringent regulatory requirements and standards that the City will be expected to meet
by the end of 2024. Additionally, the Willamette River and McKenzie River (a tributary to the Willamette
River) are listed on the State’s 303(d) list indicating that water quality standards for specific pollutants in
these streams are currently not being met. The City must address Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
limitations on the level of certain pollutants (temperature, bacteria, and mercury) through
implementation of the Stormwater Management Plan and the TMDL Implementation Plan. These plans
and requirements impact the nature and design of capital projects that are constructed to manage
stormwater.
Building & Facilities Preservation and Maintenance Work Plan
This plan identifies and addresses capital improvement needs at City owned buildings, including: City
Hall, Springfield Justice Center, Springfield Museum, Booth Kelly Center, fire stations, Development and
Public Works operations buildings, and the Depot. The plan tracks and provides a snapshot of repairs
and asset preservation improvements that are immediately evident, and which have been deferred for
various reasons, together with ongoing maintenance needs and necessary replacement of building
systems expected to reach the end of their useful life.
The City continues to face several critical building/facilities operations, maintenance, and preservation
issues. In preparation of the FY24 Capital budget, a $59 million list of deferred/backlog facilities repairs
were identified, along with a $300k annual need for routine maintenance. needs as well as ongoing
annual maintenance/preservation needs. In FY09, the City implemented an Internal Building
Preservation Charge with intent to program $300k annually for ongoing preservation. Since inception,
the Internal Building Preservation Charge on average has generated just over $260k per year dedicated
to projects, through FY24. Staff has developed the City Buildings/Facilities Work Plan inclusive of all City
Fire Stations, City Hall, Springfield Justice Center, Development and Public Works operations facilities,
Springfield Depot, and the Carter Building. For example, the Buildings and Facilities unfunded project list
included in this CIP an unfunded project to replace the City Hall HVAC System at an estimated cost of
$1.8 million. The last major update or replacement to the system was nearly 20 years ago and the
current units are nearing the end of the serviceable life.
Additionally, there are other project management responsibilities related to public buildings and
facilities maintenance and preservations that have been identified through previously adopted CIP
documents, such as preservation projects at the Depot and Booth Kelly and demolition of the Carpenter
shed and gun range at Booth Kelly. Any future building needs such as new fire station construction or
potential demolition of the Carter Building will be addressed through the CIP process.
Attachment 3, Page 9 of 19
The City will be pursing Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program funding in 2024 for seismic upgrade of
several fire stations. A consultant will be hired to complete an engineering study, perform a cost/benefit
analysis, and complete the application for the grant. The engineering study will help to determine what
needs upgrading at the fire stations and how much it will cost.
URBAN RENEWAL PLANS
Downtown Urban Renewal Plan (2007)
The primary goal of the Downtown Urban Renewal Plan is to assist in the revitalization of business and
elimination of blight in the downtown area. The Downtown Urban Renewal Plan has projects listed to
obtain these goals.
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan (1999, updated 2004)
The primary goal of the Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan is to eliminate blighting influences found in the
Renewal Area. The Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan project list includes:
Promote private development and redevelopment;
Rehabilitate building stock;
Improvements to streets, sidewalks, bikeways, pathways, streetscapes, parks, and open spaces;
Utility improvements;
Parking;
Public facilities;
Housing;
Public signage and community gateway entrance improvements.
LAND USE PLANS
Metro Plan
The Metro Plan serves as the sole official long-range comprehensive plan (public policy document) of
metropolitan Lane County and the cities of Eugene and Springfield. As Springfield and Eugene carry out
their obligations under ORS 197.304 which required establishing separate urban growth boundaries,
more comprehensive planning is taking place on a city-specific basis, through city-specific plans adopted
by each jurisdiction. The Metro Plan continues to include some of the regional land use planning that is
collaboratively addressed by Lane County, Eugene and Springfield. The Metro Plan provides the overall
framework for planning functions, including establishing the policy basis for a general, coordinated,
long-range approach among affected agencies for the provision of the facilities and services needed in
the metropolitan area.
Springfield Comprehensive Plan
The Springfield Comprehensive Plan establishes the Springfield urban growth boundary and sets policy
direction in Springfield-specific elements, including Economic Development, Residential Land Use &
Housing, and Urbanization. The Recreation Element is the Willamalane Park and Recreation
Comprehensive Plan, and the Transportation Element is the Springfield Transportation System Plan.
Attachment 3, Page 10 of 19
Springfield will continue to further add to and revise the Springfield Comprehensive Plan and come to
rely less on the Metro Plan for city-specific policy.
Public Facilities and Services Plan
The Public Facilities and Services Plan (PFSP) is an element of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area
General Plan (Metro Plan). It is the Metro Plan Element which identifies significant facilities in general
terms and confirms that those facilities are consistent with the planning policies set out in the Metro
Plan. The projects identified in the PFSP are generally a subset of the projects contained in the various
facilities plans. The PFSP does not identify transportation projects, which are covered in the Springfield
Transportation System Plan, but does identify wastewater and stormwater projects, among others. The
PFSP does not, nor should it, identify every project; it includes only those projects identified as
significant on the basis of definitions set forth in the PFSP.
Springfield Transportation System Plan (2014)
The Springfield 2035 Transportation System Plan (TSP) provides a 20-year blueprint for how the City
should maintain and improve the transportation network to meet growth demands within Springfield’s
Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The 2035 TSP ensures the City’s vision for the transportation system
meets community needs, communicates the City’s aspirations, and conforms to state and regional
policies.
Refinement Plans
Downtown Refinement Plan (1986, updated 2005)
The primary goal of the Springfield Downtown Refinement Plan is to provide goals and policies through
which downtown Springfield may become a more vital and attractive place to shop, conduct business,
and recreate. Goals include creating a pedestrian friendly downtown, new opportunities for a variety of
land uses, adequate parking, and a positive identity for Downtown.
East Kelly Butte Neighborhood Plan (1992)
The primary goal of the East Kelly Butte Neighborhood Plan is to address the concerns of the
citizens living within the East Kelly Butte Neighborhood such as land use, housing,
transportation, public facilities and neighborhood character.
East Main Refinement Plan (1988)
The primary goal of the East Main Refinement Plan is to address the concerns of the citizens living within
the East Main Refinement Plan Neighborhood such as providing housing options, a mix of land uses,
commercial centers, compatible industrial development, a safe and efficient street system including
bicycle facilities. Gateway Refinement Plan (1992)
The primary goal of the Gateway Refinement Plan is to refine and augment the Eugene-Springfield
Metropolitan Area General Plan to provide specificity for site-specific land use decisions, and to identify
the near and long-term public facilities needs to support development and livability of the area. This
Attachment 3, Page 11 of 19
plan incorporates goals and policies, controls, and design standards for elements such as land
development, economic development, natural assets and open space, transportation systems, and
public facilities.
Glenwood Refinement Plan (1999, updated 2012)
The primary goal of the Phase I Glenwood Refinement Plan Update was to facilitate redevelopment in
the Glenwood Riverfront District based on the successful implementation of the Plan’s vision, policies,
and standards. The plan identifies the density, mix, type, and location of housing, employment land,
and public open space and the required level of public facilities to support projected demand.
Mid-Springfield Refinement Plan (1986)
The primary goal of the Mid-Springfield Refinement Plan is to assign site-specific plan designations in
areas designated “Mixed-Use” on the Metro Plan Diagram and to recognize the needs of industrial and
commercial land uses and to resolve conflicts with residential neighbors. Goals were set to address
these concerns. Se
Q Street Refinement Plan (1987)
The primary goal of the Q Street Refinement Plan is to guide land use decisions in the Q Street area.
Land use decisions will be made to, among other things, provide for commercial development, enhance
existing neighborhoods, attract medium and high-density residential development, discourage through
truck traffic.
Attachment 3, Page 12 of 19
SECTION II FUNDING
CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDING
There are limited sources of funding for capital activity. The principal sources include 1) revenues
derived from user fees or those taxes (such as fuel taxes or voter approved general obligation bonds)
which function like user fees; 2) Systems Development Charges (SDCs), which are designed to recover
from development the cost impact that development has on public infrastructure; 3) external
contributions, in the form of intergovernmental grants or loans, payments by developers for specific
improvements, and assessments of benefitted property owners, also for specific improvements; and 4)
other sources such as revenue leveraged by tax increment financing in the City’s two urban renewal
districts, and revenue from internally generated charges, which at present play a minor role in capital
project funding.
USER FEES
Each of the three public infrastructure systems (streets, sanitary sewers, and storm drainage) is funded
by fees paid by those who use the system. In the case of the local wastewater and storm drainage
systems those fees are directly billed to users. In the case of the transportation system those fees are
collected in the form of taxes on motor fuel at both the state and local level, by state fees for licensing
and registration of drivers and vehicles, as well as weight mile taxes imposed on the trucking industry,
and via temporary property tax increases that result from approved general obligation bonds.
The City issued revenue bonds in 2009 and 2010 to fund local wastewater and storm drainage capital
projects. Revenue bonds are typically paid for with fees collected. In 2018 the voters approved a 5-year
general obligation bond to repair specific arterial and collector streets to avoid more costly and
disruptive future roadway reconstruction. The City is preparing another general obligation bond
package to go to voters in 2024.
SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
The second major source of capital funding is Systems Development Charges (SDCs). These are charges
imposed on development to provide funding to assure that the City can fund the cost of the
infrastructure needed to serve that level of development. The City currently has SDCs for transportation,
wastewater, and stormwater.
SDCs are calculated based on a methodology which must be adopted by the Council and which must
conform to State law. The process involves two separate components. The first is an improvement fee
which is based on a determination of which capital projects are needed to accommodate growth and
the amount of additional capacity that is created by those projects to meet growth demands. The
second component is a reimbursement fee, which is based on new development’s use of the existing
system and the amount of capacity available in that system. If the system has existing capacity, then
development can be charged a fee based upon the units of existing capacity development will require.
These charges are increased annually based on documented increase in the Cost of Construction Index.
Attachment 3, Page 13 of 19
EXTERNAL REVENUE SOURCES
These sources include both intergovernmental grants and loans as well as contributions by private
individuals to the cost of infrastructure either through assessments imposed by the City or voluntarily as
part of a proposal to develop property in the City. In many cases these sources of revenue, however
derived, are accompanied by restrictions on their use.
The City regularly receives allocations of transportation funding from Federal programs. The Central
Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization (CLMPO) acting through its Metropolitan Policy Committee
(MPC) allocates Federal formula funds to its member jurisdictions for planning, preservation and
construction projects on portions of the transportation system that are regionally significant. In
addition, the City regularly seeks Federal funding directly through efforts focused on the Oregon
congressional delegation.
In the past, the local wastewater system has benefitted from a variety of Federal programs, most
notably the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), a program funded by Federal dollars. In recent
years, however, little to no Federal aid has been available for local wastewater activity. This may change
in the future with the recent passage of the Federal infrastructure bill, but the extent to which
additional federal dollars will be available remains to be seen.
Private contributions toward capital funding also are available, but generally in restricted circumstances.
In order to facilitate provision of services to a new development, a developer can make a significant
contribution to a particular project when it is needed for the development in question when the City
does not have the financial resources to construct the project in circumstances which fit with the
developer’s timetable. Lastly, individual citizens sometimes contribute in the form of assessments for
specific projects which benefit their properties. This is done through the creation of a local improvement
district (LID), including all of the benefitted properties. The cost of the project is then assessed against
those properties on a proportionate basis.
OTHER REVENUES
There are two other alternative revenue sources available for capital project funding. The first is tax
increment financing through the two urban renewal districts created by the City – one in Glenwood and
one in Downtown. In an urban renewal district additional taxes resulting from increases in assessed
value are sequestered and made available to the district, which then uses those revenues to support
debt service on urban renewal bonds used to finance projects within the district.
The second alternative revenue source is an internal charge which is assessed against City departments’
operating Budgets to provide funding for preservation and rehabilitation of City buildings and structures.
