The CIP shows the allocation of projected expenditures for capital projects expected over the next five years. The CIP includes those items typically considered as “infrastructure”—streets, sewer lines, bridges, etc., as well as facilities through which City government provides services directly to citizens or in support of City operations. The latter category includes such facilities as police precincts, recreation amenities, maintenance facilities, and general office buildings. The CIP covers all facilities that City government owns and has responsibility for. It includes facilities of both general government operations and enterprise operations. The Water and Sewer System and Hartsfield‐Jackson Atlanta International Airport are enterprise operations. The enterprise operations are self‐supporting and generate their own capital funds through revenue bonding or operating revenues, while general government capital improvements rely on annual bond issues and voter approved general obligation bonds, as well as general and internal service funds, and dedicated tax millage and grants. The CIP document is submitted with the Community Work Program (CWP) to the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA), as required by the Georgia Planning Act, in order for the City of Atlanta to maintain its Qualified Local Government (QLG) status. The CIP/CWP has to be adopted every year by October 31st. QLG status makes the City of Atlanta eligible for various state and regional funding and to collect impact fees. Some of the state programs linked to the QLG designation are: Local Development Fund grants, CDBG Loan Guarantee Fund Program (Section 108 Program), Georgia Finance Authority funding and Georgia Department of Natural Resources grants, among others. Capital Improvements ‐ Definitions The CIP identifies major improvements and capital purchases needed to improve services to the community. A Capital Improvement Project must meet one of the following criteria: Real property acquisition (Land) Construction of a new facility Addition (a modification that changes the structural “footprint” of the facility) to existing facilities greater than or equal to $25,000 Remodeling/repair/preservation of the interior/exterior of any facility greater than or equal to $25,000 Demolition of existing facilities greater than or equal to $25,000 Major equipment items or projects including computer infrastructure, which as a whole are greater than or equal to $25,000 (excludes vehicles unless >= $50,000) 2016-2020 Capital Improvements Program and Community Work Program 1 Capital Improvements Program Infrastructure projects (a road, bridge, intersection, drainage system, or sewer structure, etc.) As noted, the City CIP covers City government capital projects only. These projects are carried out to provide the facilities for the provision of City services, and to support, encourage and shape the direction of private development. Many other factors influence infrastructure development in the City, such as the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), the Atlanta Housing Authority, Tax Allocation Districts, the State and Federal Governments, Community Improvement Districts and the Atlanta Board of Education. Also, private developments directly interact with the future and direction of City growth, requiring City involvement and support and providing the opportunity to leverage private investment with City resources.

    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

    ABBC 2016 Annual Report

    IMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ATLANTA BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE One of my proudest accomplishments as Mayor of Atlanta is the tremendous success achieved through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC). The Office of Resilience has partnered with businesses and nonprofit organizations to implement a comprehensive, voluntary program to increase energy and water efficiency in our building stock. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge invites participating building owners to commit to a 20 percent reduction in energy and water use by year 2020. With more than 114 million square feet of building space and more than 600 buildings pledged, Atlanta has earned its spot as a leader on the efficiency scoreboard. Since 2011, this successful public-private partnership between the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Livable Buckhead, Midtown Alliance and Southface has positioned Atlanta as a national leader in energy and water efficiency. We surpassed our water reduction goal five years ahead of schedule, and we’re quickly closing the gap on our energy goal, having already reduced our portfolio’s energy consumption by 17 percent. Through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, participants are saving money on bills now, while helping to ensure a more resilient future for all Atlantans. This program plays a pivotal role in furthering Atlanta as a top-tier city for sustainability. We hope to inspire other cities by our achievements and lead by example as we continue to make big strides in reducing our energy and water usage. Thanks to our participants in the Challenge. Sincerely, Mayor Kasim Reed INTRODUCTION | 03 IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS 20 PERCENT BY 2020 The goal of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Resource conservation efforts not only support the City’s Challenge is to improve the efficiency of commercial, sustainability efforts and lead to a cleaner and healthier institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings by 20% or place to live and work, but the dollar savings achieved more by 2020.
