Background:
|
FY 2019 - 2028 Capital Improvement Program Budget
The School Board adopted its FY 2019 – 2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget on January 25, 2018 totaling $68.33 million for FY 2019 and $474.68 million across all ten years. On May 3, 2018, City Council adopted its FY 2019 – 2028 CIP Budget which allocated funds for the entire amount requested as either Direct Funding or Reserved Bond Capacity/Cash Capital. This is detailed in the chart on page 1 of the attached memo.
During the May 10, 2018 School Board Budget Work Session, ACPS Staff reported on the status of the CIP and proposed one change. The status update and proposed change are summarized below.
The CIP budget for FY 2019, in alignment with recommendations of the Ad-Hoc Joint City-Schools Facilities Investment Task Force, aims to address some of ACPS’s immediate capacity needs with $52.7 million to fund capacity planning efforts, a continuation of the high school capacity planning, property acquisition and flexible capacity space. The non-capacity portion of ACPS FY 2019 CIP includes $15.6M to fund necessary system replacements and building upgrades. City Council voted to fully fund the FY 2019-2028 CIP with funds in reserve for high school planning and property acquisition in FY 2019, the ACPS Transportation Facility in FY 2023 and out-year contingency for major capacity projects in FY 2020 – 2027.
One change was proposed to the CIP to advance the Mount Vernon roof replacement project from FY 2021 to FY 2020. Changes in the out-years for non-capacity projects typically come to the School Board as part of the Superintendent’s proposed CIP in the fall; however, the first phase of this project was funded as part of the FY 2018 CIP and, in an effort to be cost effective and attractive to vendors, was proposed for advancement at this time. This change does not create a budget gap or surplus in the total FY 2019-2028 CIP from the City’s appropriation.
FY 2019 Combined-Funds Budget
On February 22, 2018, the School Board adopted its FY 2019 Combined-Funds Budget which included an Operating Fund request to the City of Alexandria for $224.92 million. City Council adopted its General Fund Budget on May 3, 2018 inclusive of a transfer to the ACPS Operating Fund in the amount of $223.83 million. Following these actions, the ACPS FY 2019 Operating Fund Budget Gap was $1.09 million, as shown in the chart on page 2 of the attached memo.
