The Capital Budget, which provides funding for improvements with a useful life of at least five years, includes General Capital projects, Restricted Funds Capital projects, and projects supported with Federal and State Capital Grant Matching Funds. This budget represents the first two years of a six-year Capital Improvement Program. Following this introduction is the Analysis of Available Resources and then the Analysis of Expenditures. After the overview sections are two summary reports: Projects by Program and Projects by Neighborhood. The summary reports are followed by the Operating Budget Impact report, which provides a description of the Capital Budget’s impact on the Operating Budget. An individual section for each departmental FY 2020- 2025 Capital Improvement Program follows the Operating Budget Impact report. A capital improvement or capital project is defined as the purchase or improvement of a City asset, including construction or rehabilitation that provides an asset for the City’s use or, in the case of an existing asset, increases the value of the public asset or extends its useful life. Capital improvements are made to improve the value of City assets and are relatively large expenditure items, compared to operating budget items. The City Council may also designate a capital improvement through its authority to establish public policy and identify a public purpose when making capital improvement expenditures. A capital improvement is expected to have a useful life of at least five years, compared to operating budget items, which are consumed in the daily delivery of City services. The nature of a capital improvement lends itself to long-term planning and a combination of financing mechanisms. In Cincinnati, General Capital improvements are funded primarily by property tax-supported bond proceeds, income tax receipts, and Southern Railway note proceeds. The necessary lead time involved in engineering a project, acquiring and clearing sites, or in securing State or Federal funds may require the funding of project phases over several years. Enterprise and Special Revenue capital projects are generally funded by user fees to operate and maintain facilities, such as the Water Works system. A six-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a plan for capital investment in Cincinnati’s future through improving City streets, bridges, recreation facilities, parks, health facilities, and buildings, all of which enhance the delivery of services and the quality of life in Cincinnati. The CIP coordinates the financing and timing of improvements to maximize the value to the public. This Capital Budget process began with City departments making requests for capital projects. These requests include ongoing projects, improvements to existing assets, previously funded phased projects, and new projects. The requested capital projects were reviewed by the City Planning Department to assess each project's level of consistency with Plan Cincinnati, the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Capital Budget development process aims to align the CIP with the prioritized citywide strategies outlined in Plan Cincinnati, which serves as a long-range guide to manage growth, protect the environment, and influence future development in the City. All department capital project requests were considered by the Executive Budget Review Team, which includes the City Manager, Assistant City Managers, Finance Director, and HR Director. The City Manager, in turn, developed the Capital Budget recommendations, which are submitted to the Mayor for further consideration prior to submission to the City Council. City of Cincinnati - FY 2020-2021 Approved Biennial Budget 3 Capital Improvement Program Overview Evaluation Criteria The following criteria were used to develop the Capital Budget and are listed in descending priority sequence: 1. Hazard Elimination: to eliminate or reduce definite and immediate health and safety hazards; 2. Legal Mandates: to comply with a court order or other specific legal directive (consent decree, etc.); 3. Regulatory Compliance: self-initiated improvement in compliance with a federal, state, or local rule or regulation affecting capital assets; 4. Project Completion: to finish phased projects with related and already committed or expended funding; 5. Prevent Failure: to systematically, and according to schedule, improve assets that would fail if not improved periodically; 6. Extend Useful Life: to improve an asset by making a capital investment to increase the asset’s service life; 7. Cost-Benefit Justified: to make a capital investment that is supported by benefits equal to or greater than the cost of investment (e.g., benefits may be in jobs, revenue, cost savings, matching funds, etc.); 8. Service Betterment: to accommodate growth in service demand, or to otherwise increase the quality of service provided by the capital asset. 4 City of Cincinnati - FY 2020-2021 Approved Biennial Budget Capital Improvement Program Overview I.

    I About the CoverAbout Cover Front Cover: The Tyler-Davidson Fountain The Tyler-Davidson Fountain, affectionately known as “the People’s Fountain,” after being restored, was rededicated “TO THE PEOPLE OF CINCINNATI” in May 2000. Throughout the decades, Cincinnatians have gathered at the fountain for public ceremonies, holidays, events, rallies, and the special celebrations that give community life its greatest meaning. Cincinnati philanthropist Henry Probasco commissioned the fountain based on the design of a young German sculptor named August von Kieling. The design depicted people in everyday pursuits enjoying the many uses and benefits of water. The fountain, crafted of bronze and porphyry stone, was first dedicated on October 6, 1871 on Probasco Place – later renamed Fountain Square. [Photography: City Manager’s Office.] Back Cover: Styler Davidsown Sow-tain The Big Pig Gig, which kicked-off on Fountain Square and ran from February through September 2000, was a collaborative effort of schools, businesses, non-profit organizations and area artists to unify Cincinnati’s art community and celebrate the City’s “Porkopolis” heritage. Over 400 fiberglass pigs were sponsored and later auctioned off to raise money for ArtWorks – an arts based employment and job-training program for youth in Greater Cincinnati. The Styler Davidsown Sow-tain made its debut in The Big Pig Gig in June, 2000. It bears an uncanny resemblance to the original fountain, complete with bronze coloring and water spraying from the top.

A thesis submitted to Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF COMMUNITY PLANNING In the School of Planning of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning May 2006 By Frederik Spittael Master of Architecture, WENK St-Lucas Gent, 2004 Bachelor of Architecture, WENK St-Lucas Gent, 2001 Thesis Committee: Chair: Mahyar Arefi, Ph.D. Member: Menelaos Triantafillou, MLA Reader: Des Bracey, ESQ Abstract Planners have not fully recognized the importance of place. Because place is elusive and does not fit into planners’ utilitarian mode of thought, a concern with place is often dismissed as irrelevant. In spite of this, almost everything planners do is related to place. This is especially true for urban designers. The goal of this thesis is to broaden urban designers’ understanding of place in three steps. First, identify and analyze the key aspects of place in an operational framework. Second, link the framework to urban design. Third, apply the framework to a case study (Fountain Square Cincinnati, OH). The framework combined with the case study indicates urban designers need to overcome the illusion they can design place and have to start working on design strategies that incorporate the vital components of place. Only then will they be able to give place a vital injection instead of a mere facelift.

A thesis proposal submitted to The Graduate School at the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF COMMUNITY PLANNING School of Planning College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning on June 3, 2005 By Aditi S. Mantrawadi Bachelor of Architecture, J. N. T. University, 2002 Thesis Committee Chair: Dr. Kiril Stanilov, Ph.D. Member: Prof. Menelaos Triantafillou, M.L.A Reader: John E Hancock, M. Arch., Assoc. Dean, DAAP Abstract Public plazas play a major role in the everyday lives of its users and serve as the settings for public life as ‘event landscapes’. Outdoor dining plays an important role in enhancing the quality of public spaces and urban life: by design and by people. The redesign of Fountain Square by the non-profit Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation seems an appropriate time to evaluate the potential of Fountain Square as an ideal location for outdoor cafes and restaurants using the form, meaning and use of Fountain Square, Cincinnati. The thesis analyses how people experience space in a plaza based on the criteria obtained from literature essential to understand the relation between the physical design of public plaza and outdoor cafes and restaurants, and how these criteria relate to each other to create a physical whole, and how they relate to us as users to form an ‘experience’.
