Fiscal Year 2013-2015 Special Budget Meeting

Proposed CIP Page 6 Key CIP Funding Sources There are limited sources of internal funding available for capital improvements, typically with restrictions on their use within broad categories, described below. Grants are another source of funding for capital projects. While often a major source of capital funding, they are even more limited, typically competitive and cyclical in nature. Internal Sources The following are the major sources of funding for capital investment in Oakland:  Sewer Service Fund (Fund 3100). Limited to funding maintenance and capital improvements to the sanitary sewer collection system.  Measure B - Transportation (Fund 2211). Limited to funding transportation and traffic safety improvements within the public right-of-way.  Measure B - Bicycle and Pedestrian (Fund 2212). Limited to funding bicycle and pedestrian safety and accessibility improvements within the public right-of-way.  Vehicle Registration Fee (Fund 2215). Limited to funding transportation and traffic safety improvements within the public right-of-way. Grant Sources Additionally, Oakland aggressively pursues grant opportunities for various capital improvements. While by their nature these grants are only available for specific projects and purposes, they do represent a significant addition to local funds. They represent the most viable source to fund new improvements and allow internal funds to be kept available for existing assets. In the period including the last two fiscal years to date, staff successfully applied for and received a total of $36 million in grants for 29 capital projects. Staff will continue to seek grants when projects are competitive and meet the City's need to address unfunded priorities. CIP Project Categories The CIP can be broken into several key categories for consideration. These include:  Funded, non-discretionary projects  Funded, discretionary projects  Unfunded, mandated projects  Unfunded, high priority projects  Other unfunded projects Each is described in more detail below.
