Arlington County, Virginia
CHAIRMAN’S CIP MESSAGE CIP 2019 – 2028
To the Arlington County Community:
I am pleased to share the County Board’s Adopted FY 2019–2028 Capital Improvement Plan. Every two years, the County refreshes its plan for capital investment, balancing the latest economic forecast with updated information on capital assets and community priorities. This year’s plan was marked by a constrained financial environment, compounded by a new regional funding agreement with Metro that redirected significant revenues away from local and regional transportation projects. My colleagues and I believe that the adopted plan funds a necessary level of capital investment, particularly in the maintenance of our infrastructure (totaling $3.4 billion, including $2.8 billion for County capital projects and infrastructure and $614 million for Arlington Public Schools projects), but it does reflect deferral of some projects that many in our community wished to see.
During our public engagement process, we heard from hundreds of community members who told us they wanted to see us maintain our current facilities and infrastructure. This plan reflects that input and also funds expansions of some near-term commitments, such as needed improvements to Fire Station 8, and expansions of Jennie Dean and Rosslyn Highlands parks. At the same time, we were able to redirect modest funds to the Neighborhood Conservation Program, our strategic park land acquisitions, and the first stage of the Army Navy Country Club access road. The CIP process also clarified the need for new engagement and program review. For example, we will provide enhanced public outreach for the County’s stormwater program and flooding reduction projects.
The Board also voted to form an ad hoc working group that will review the long-standing Neighborhood Conservation Program. We want to ensure that this grassroots community program is able to continue to efficiently deliver high-quality neighborhood infrastructure projects far into the future.
A - 1 Highlights of this years Adopted CIP include:
Strategic Investments • Arlington Public Schools: Support for APS’s $614 million plan to meet the challenge of growing enrollment, including $103 million for its 2018 referenda request. • Metro and Transportation: $1.6 billion in investments, including the County’s continued $54 million commitment to Metro over the next two years, and a total investment of over $300 million over the next decade. • Transportation: Funding for enhanced transit service along Columbia Pike, through the adopted Transit Development Plan (TDP). • Fire Station 8: $14 million to fund construction for a new two-story fire station at 4843 Lee Highway to meet Fire and Emergency Medical Service program needs. • Parks and Recreation: Investment in Jennie Dean Park, and completion of the Nauck Town Square, as well as commitments to keep Rosslyn Highlands Park and the Lubber Run Community Center projects moving forward • Neighborhood Conservation: $68 million, including $42 million in new bond issuance, allocated with a focus on implementing existing projects • Technology: More than $127 million over 10 years, including $50 million to maintain and replace the County’s information technology and equipment to provide a reliable and secure environment and $76 million for Public Safety Information Technology to refresh or replace existing public safety systems in an operable and responsive way.
Maintenance • Paving: $138 million over 10 years, with $27 million in first two years to maintain the current paving condition index (PCI) • Water/Sewer System Infrastructure: $499 million over 10 years, with $155 million for maintenance and upgrades to the water pollution control plant based on the Solids Master Plan and $208 million for water sewer maintenance capital • Transportation: Investment in bridge maintenance and renovation, street lights, and other existing transportation assets • Parks and Facilities: $157 million to ensures parks and facilities are kept in a state of good repair and that assets are protected from premature failure
Critically, the adopted CIP also maintains the County’s financial sustainability. The 10-year plan follows the financial and debt management policies adopted by the Board, which is key to maintaining Arlington’s triple-AAA bond rating. These high ratings ensure the County can access the lowest interest rates when borrowing money and thereby provide the highest possible value to the public for each bond dollar.
A - 2 The CIP is funded primarily through bond financing, federal and state grants, pay-as-you-go (PAYG) funding, short-term financing vehicles and dedicated funding sources, such as water-sewer revenues and dedicated transportation taxes. The plan includes the use of general obligation bonds which are authorized by the Arlington County Board and subject to approval by Arlington County voters. My colleagues and I thank all those who took part in the CIP process, including County staff, commissions and advisory groups, and the thousands of community members who shared their input and feedback online, in town halls, and before the Board.
Sincerely,
Katie Cristol Chair, Arlington County Board

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CIP 2019 − 2028
Arlington County is a dynamic environment – a place where people are passionate about their community and committed to enhancing its policies and programs. With a community of more than 222,000 residents and an equal number of people who work here every day, our government is constantly planning for our future and advancing hundreds of projects.
Over the last year, the County Manager’s Office has developed a process that affirms its commitment to meaningful engagement and provides the framework for successful engagement. This process was unveiled publicly in the Six Step Public Engagement Guide for Capital Projects. The guide, which will be used for projects going forward, is intended to help project teams determine the appropriate level of engagement and communication, map appropriate strategies, and share information with stakeholders along the way. It provides a range of techniques to engage the community in the activities and decision-making processes of the County.
Arlington completes hundreds of projects – small and large – in any given year. Recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, this guide is intended to help align the level of public engagement based on characteristics, benefits, and potential impacts of each project once they are approved in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The guide will be applied to projects adopted and funded for years 1-2 in the CIP, however, it is important to note that not every project will have a 6- step engagement process. While all County projects are important, there will always be some routine or emergency tasks that the Count will complete at its discretion while practicing and efficient use of time and resources. However, for projects that do need a robust public engagement process, the guide provides staff with an easy-to-use framework to articulate the project scope, identify impacted stakeholders, and communicate areas of opportunity for public input.
Our Core Engagement Values
The public engagement process is grounded in seven guiding values which are the foundation for the County’s engagement initiatives and strategies. Public engagement is, at its heart, a values exchange, and the County believes that rooting our engagement processes in a set of stated values is the most effective way to build trust and demonstrate Arlington County Government’s commitment to the community.
Our seven guiding values are:
• Inclusion and mutual respect: ensure public notice and engagement is based on building trust and seeking to involve all stakeholders and range of perspectives, without predetermined outcomes;
A - 4 • Early involvement and timely communication: communicate as early as possible in the engagement process, provide regular updates, and ensure timely information that supports stakeholder participation; • Transparent and accountable: share information and provide feedback about how community input was considered and/or integrated; • Clear and accessible communication: use plain language and a wide range of tools and techniques for communicating and engaging with stakeholders; • Open, two-way communication: work with stakeholders in a cooperative way to share information and provide opportunities for constructive dialogue; • Fiscally sustainable: ensure methods and resources for public notice and engagement reflect the magnitude, complexity, and costs to the extent possible for each initiative; • Continuous improvement: review process and seek better ways of engaging the community and provide efficient and effective public notice and engagement processes.
The Six-Step Approach for Public Engagement
1. Clearly Define the Project. The first step of the public engagement process is to gather foundational information for the project and lay out the implications of that information. Understanding the real-world context into which any project is going to be introduced is instrumental to determining the appropriate level of public engagement for that project.
2. Identify Project Stakeholders. For engagement processes to be successful, it’s imperative that all impacted or interested community members, groups, and organizations are identified early. It is important to consider affected commissions, committees, advisory groups, and civic associations, of course. But it is also important to identify broader impacted groups including under-represented communities, condo and rental buildings, adjacent neighborhoods and less formal groups like local churches, schools and parent groups, workers, and recreational groups.
3. Determine the Level of Engagement. The County has defined four levels of engagement for projects: Communicate, Consult, Involve and Collaborate. While large, complex projects may have an overall engagement level of Collaborate, various stages of that project lifecycle may fall to different levels where staff is Communicating or Consulting with the community. While the extent of the engagement increases from level to level, the number of projects inversely decreases, with the highest number of County project falling into the Communicate category and the least number of projects in the Collaborate category. The four levels of engagement are defined as follows: • Communicate: Keep the community informed on project updates, changes, regulatory constraints and progress through the lifecycle of the project. • Consult: Keep the community informed, listen to views and provide feedback on how the input influenced the project and/or decisions.
A - 5 • Involve: Share how concerns/views were reflected in analyses and/or solutions and designs developed. Share how inputs influenced the final decision of project. • Collaborate: Seek community input in partnership with stakeholders.
4. Create and Implement Engagement & Communication Strategies. Thoughtful design of engagement and communication can often positively affect the outcomes of those processes.
5. Conduct Analysis for Decision Makers. Whenever engagement processes offer feedback opportunities to the community, it is especially important that decision makers are presented with all the perspectives and views that have surfaced throughout the process, so that they can make as informed a decision as possible. It is also important that the community is able to see how their input has been utilized or captured in the process.
6. Complete Project Closeout & After-Action Review. At the conclusion of a project, stakeholders should be notified of the status or outcome, and all public information sources should be updated. It can be valuable to conduct periodic after-action reviews, which offer opportunities to reflect on what went well and explore areas for improvement.
In developing and implementing this new tool, the County hopes to provide a consistent approach to public engagement across departments and a common set of game rules for public participation. Improved public engagement processes are intended to strengthen communication and trust throughout our project lifecycles, and expand and diversify participation in those processes.

Arlington County, Virginia
FINANCIAL AND DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICIES CIP 2019 − 2028
The County’s financial and debt management policies guide the County’s capital investments, debt issuance and long-term financial management. The policies are generally based on bond rating agency guidance and criteria for highly rated jurisdictions and best practices in local government finance. The County reviews these policies on an ongoing basis with its financial advisor. The most recent revisions were in April 2017 as part of the Adopted FY 2018 Operating Budget.
Budgeting, Planning and Reserves
Balanced Budget: Arlington County will adopt an annual General Fund budget in which the budgeted revenues and expenditures are equal (a balanced budget). Any one-time revenues will be used for one-time, non-recurring expenses such as capital, equipment, special studies, debt reduction, and reserve contributions.
Long-Term Financial Planning: The County will annually develop a six year forecast of General Fund revenues, expenditures and will maintain a biennially updated, ten-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The ten-year forecast will incorporate projected reserve levels and impact of the CIP on the County’s debt ratios.
General Fund Operating Reserve: An Operating Reserve will be maintained at no less than five percent of the County’s General Fund budget. The Operating Reserve shall be shown as a designation of total General Fund balance. Appropriations from the Operating Reserve require County Board approval and may only be made to meet a critical, unpredictable financial need. Any draw on the operating reserve will be replenished within the subsequent three (3) fiscal years.
Self-Insurance Reserve: The County will also maintain a self-insurance reserve equivalent to approximately one to two months’ claim payments based on a five-year rolling average. Any draw on the self-insurance reserve requires County Board approval and will be replenished within the subsequent two (2) fiscal years.
Budget, Economic & Revenue Stabilization Contingent: Consistent with past practice, the County will maintain an economic and revenue stabilization contingent to address unexpected events, such as major weather events or a local/regional emergency requiring immediate incurrence of cost in response; revenue declines and local or regional economic stress. Use of contingent monies requires
A - 7 approval by the County Board. The minimum amount of the contingent will be $4 million and will be revisited annually as part of the budget process. Any draw on the economic and revenue stabilization contingent will be replenished within the subsequent two (2) fiscal years.
General Fund General Contingent: Each year’s budget will include a General Fund General Contingent appropriation to be used to cover unforeseen expense items or new projects initiated after a fiscal year has begun. Funding allocated from this contingent requires County Board approval.
Retirement System Funding: The County will use an actuarially accepted method of funding its pension system to maintain a fully- funded position. The County’s contribution to employee retirement costs will be adjusted annually as necessary to maintain full funding. If the County reaches its actuarial-required contribution (defined as County and employee contributions that when expressed as a percent of annual covered payroll are sufficient to accumulate assets to pay benefits when due), the County may reduce its contribution provided that the amount reduced from the annual actuarial requirement will only be used for one-time, non-recurring expenses in order to provide the ability to increase contributions as may be required by future market conditions.
Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Funding: The County will use an actuarially accepted method of funding its other post- employment benefits to maintain a fully-funded position. The County’s contribution to other post-employment benefit costs will be adjusted annually as necessary to maintain full funding. If the County reaches its actuarial-required contribution (defined as County and employee contributions that when expressed as a percent of annual covered payroll are sufficient to accumulate assets to pay benefits when due), the County may reduce its contribution provided that the amount reduced from the annual actuarial requirement will only be used for one-time, non-recurring expenses in order to provide the ability to increase contributions as may be required by future market conditions. Capital Improvement Plan
1. The County Manager will biennially submit a ten year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to the County Board. The CIP will address all known facility and infrastructure needs of the County, including the needs of the Arlington County Public Schools.
2. The CIP shall include a detailed description of each capital project, identifying every source of funding, including pay-as-you-go (PAYG), bond financing, and master lease financing. The source of funding will largely be determined based on the useful life of the project. Bond-funded projects will typically have a useful life at least as long as the period over which the bonds will be repaid (generally twenty years). Master lease-financed projects will generally have useful lives of three to ten years and typically include furniture, equipment, rolling stock and technology purchases. PAYG funds provide greater flexibility and will be appropriated annually from general fund revenues.
3. Each project budget shall identify the financial impact on the operating budget, if any.
A - 8 4. In general, capital projects estimated to cost $100,000 or more should be included in the CIP, including technology and equipment purchases.
5. The County will balance the use of debt financing sources against the ability to utilize PAYG funding for capital projects. While major capital facility projects will generally be funded through bonds, the County will attempt to maintain an appropriate balance of PAYG vs. debt, particularly in light of the County’s debt capacity and analysis of maintenance capital needs. As part of each biennial CIP process, the County will conduct a comprehensive assessment of its maintenance capital needs.
6. The CIP will include an analysis of the impact the CIP has on the County’s debt capacity, debt ratios and long-term financial plan.
7. Voter referenda to authorize general obligation bonds should only be presented to voters when the analysis of the County’s debt capacity demonstrates the ability of the County to fund the debt service for the bonds based on the County’s “Financial and Debt Service Policies.” Absent a compelling reason to do otherwise, the County should have the capacity to initiate construction projects within the two-year period before the next bond referendum. There should also be a demonstrated capability for the County to complete any project approved by referendum within the 8-year time period mandated under state law for sale of authorized bonds. The term “County” in this specific policy includes the Arlington County Government and any entity that receives bond funding from the County (such as the Arlington County Public Schools and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority).
Debt Management
The County will prudently use debt instruments, including general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, industrial development authority (IDA) revenue bonds, and master lease financing in order to provide re-investment in public infrastructure and to meet other public purposes, including inter-generational tax equity in capital investment. The County will adhere to the following debt affordability criteria (excluding overlapping and self-supporting debt).
1. The ratio of net tax-supported debt service to general expenditures should not exceed ten percent, within the ten-year projection.
2. The ratio of net tax-supported debt to full market value should not exceed three percent, within the ten-year projection.
3. The ratio of net tax-supported debt to income should not exceed six percent, within the ten-year projection.
4. Growth in debt service should be sustainable and consistent with the projected growth of revenues. Debt service growth over the ten year projection should not exceed the average ten year historical revenue growth.
A - 9 5. The term and amortization structure of County debt will be based on an analysis of the useful life of the asset(s) being financed and the variability of the supporting revenue stream. The County will attempt to maximize the rapidity of principal repayment where possible. In no case will debt maturity exceed the useful life of the project.
6. The County will refund debt when it is in the best financial interest of the County to do so. When a refunding is undertaken to generate interest rate cost savings, the minimum aggregate present value savings will be three percent of the refunded bond principal amount.
Variable Rate Debt
1. Variable rate debt exposure should not exceed twenty percent of total outstanding debt.
2. Debt service on variable rate bonds will be budgeted at a conservative rate.
3. Before issuing variable rate bonds, the County will determine how potential spikes in the debt service will be funded.
4. Before issuing any variable rate bonds, the County will determine the impact of the bonds on the County’s total debt capacity under various interest rate scenarios; evaluate the risk inherent in the County’s capital structure, giving consideration to both the County’s assets and its liabilities; and develop a method for budgeting for debt service.
Moral Obligation Debt or Support
On an infrequent basis, the County provides its “moral obligation” support for partners, including regional public safety agencies and affordable housing partners, among others. A moral obligation exists when the County Board has made a commitment to support the debt of another entity to prevent a potential default. The County’s moral obligation will only be authorized after an evaluation of the risk to the County’s balance sheet and stress testing of the financial assumptions underlying the proposed project.
Derivatives
Interest rate swaps and options (Swaps or Derivatives) are appropriate management tools that can help the County meet important financial objectives. Properly used, these instruments can help the County increase its financial flexibility, provide opportunities for interest rate savings or enhanced investment yields, and help the County reduce its interest rate risk through better matching of assets and liabilities. The County must determine if the use of any Swap is appropriate and warranted given the potential benefit, risks, and objectives of the County.
1. The County may consider the use of a derivative product if it achieves one or more of the following objectives:
A - 10 Provides a specific benefit not otherwise available; Produces greater than expected interest rate savings or incremental yield over other market alternatives; Results in an improved capital structure or better asset/liability matching.
2. The County will not use derivative products that are speculative or create extraordinary leverage or risk; lack adequate liquidity; provide insufficient price transparency; or are used as investments.
3. The County will only do business with highly rated counterparties or counterparties whose obligations are supported by highly rated parties.
4. Before utilizing a Swap, the County, its financial advisor and legal counsel shall review the proposed Swap and outline any associated considerations. Such review shall be provided to the Board and include analysis of potential savings and stress testing of the proposed transaction; fixed versus variable rate and swap exposure before and after the proposed transaction; maximum net termination exposure; and legal constraints.
5. Financial transactions using Swaps or other derivative products used in lieu of a fixed rate debt issue should generate greater projected savings than the typical structure used by the County for fixed rate debt.
6. The County will limit the total notional amount of derivatives to an amount not to exceed twenty percent of total outstanding debt.
7. All derivatives transactions will require County Board approval.
Special Revenue / Enterprise Funds
It is the general policy of the County to avoid designation of discretionary funds in order to maintain maximum financial flexibility. The County may, however, create dedicated funding sources when there are compelling reasons based on state law or policy objectives, as described below. The Utilities Fund was created as a self-sustaining, fee-based enterprise fund under state code to support and maintain development of the County’s water and sewer infrastructure. The Transportation Capital Fund was adopted pursuant to state legislation for new transportation funding. The Stormwater Management Fund was adopted in lieu of a self-supporting, user fee-based enterprise fund. The CPHD Development Fund was created as a self-sustaining, fee-based enterprise fund. Tax Increment Funds were established to support redevelopment and preservation objectives associated with the County’s adoption of master plans, (e.g., the Crystal City Sector Plan adopted in 2010 and the Columbia Pike Neighborhoods Plan adopted in 2013).
Utilities Fund
A - 11 1. The County will annually develop a six year forecast of projected water consumption, revenue, operating expenditures, reserve requirements and capital needs for the Utilities Fund. The six year forecast will show projected water-sewer rate increases over the planning period.
2. The County will implement water-sewer rate increases in a gradual manner, avoiding spike increases whenever possible.
3. The County will meet or exceed all requirements of any financing agreements or trust indentures.
4. The Utilities Fund will maintain a reserve equivalent to three months’ operations & maintenance expenses. The reserve may be used to address emergencies and unexpected declines in revenue. If utilized, the reserve will be replenished over a three year period to the minimum reserve level. This reserve is in addition to any financing agreement-required debt service reserve funds.
5. The Utilities Fund will maintain debt service coverage of at least 1.25 times on all debt service obligations.
6. The Utilities Fund will be self-supporting.
Transportation Capital Fund
1. New revenue shall not be used to supplant existing transportation funding commitments, and capital investments shall be compliant with state law restrictions on non-supplanting and maintenance of effort requirements.
2. Operating program enhancements (outside base program) that clearly document transportation benefits may be eligible for support from the Transportation Capital Fund.
3. No more than three to five percent of annual funding should be used for project administration, indirect & overhead costs to support capital projects.
4. A reserve equivalent to ten to twenty percent of annual budgeted revenue will be established.
5. A five to ten year financial plan and model will be developed that integrates project cashflow forecasts, revenue projections, and financial / debt management policies and will factor in other non-County funding sources, including federal, state, regional, and private funding.
6. The County will prudently balance the use of new transportation funding sources between pay-as-you-go funding and leveraging through new bond issuance. Use of leveraging will be dependent on project size, cash flow, and timing projections.
A - 12 7. If the County chooses to issue debt supported by dedicated transportation funding sources, such debt will be structured to be self- supporting and will not count against the County’s general tax supported obligation debt ratios or capacity. Debt service coverage on such debt will range from 1.10 to 1.50 times, depending on the type of debt issued. The term on such bonds will not exceed the average useful life of the assets financed, and amortization will be structured to match the supporting revenue stream.
8. The Transportation Capital Fund will be self-supporting.
Tax Increment Funds
1. The intended use of TIF monies will be specified at the time of TIF creation; changes or additional uses will be determined as part of the annual budget process.
2. The combined assessed value of TIF areas will not exceed 25 percent of the County’s total assessed valuation. As of January 1, 2014, existing TIF assessed valuation totaled 22 percent of County-wide assessed valuation.
3. The percent of TIF revenue available for the intended uses within a TIF area will be established at the creation of the TIF and will be less than or equal to 40 percent. This percent will be evaluated annually as part of the budget process.
4. The County will prudently balance the use of PAYG funding and leveraging through TIF bond issuances. Use of leveraging will be dependent on project type, size, cashflow and timing projections. Leveraging will only be used for capital projects that meet useful life and other requirements for bond issuance.
5. If the County leverages TIF revenue on its own behalf, it will target a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 2.0 times and establish an appropriate level of debt service reserves and / or other contingencies.
6. The County will establish additional policies pertaining to the leverage of TIF revenue by a private development entity prior to any such issuance.
7. A reserve equivalent to ten percent of annual budgeted revenue will be established.
Stormwater Fund
1. The County will annually develop a six year projection of stormwater operating and capital expenses.
2. The County will prudently balance the use of new stormwater funding sources between pay-as-you-go funding and leveraging through new bond issuance. Use of leveraging will be dependent on project size, cashflow, and timing projections. If debt is issued for stormwater projects, it will generally follow the debt issuance guidelines contained in this policy.
A - 13
3. The Stormwater Fund will maintain a reserve equivalent to three months’ expenses.
4. Stormwater financial policies will be reviewed as part of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit renewal cycle (every five years).
5. The Stormwater Fund will be self-supporting.
CPHD Development Fund
1. A contingent reserve will be established equivalent to thirty percent of the Fund’s total operating budget based on the fiscal year. This amount is equivalent to three to four months of annual operating expenditures. The reserve may be used to address emergencies and unexpected declines in revenue only after authorization from the County Board.
2. The CPHD Development Fund will be self-supporting.
Ballston Garage and Ballston Garage 8th Level Funds
1. The County will annually develop a multi-year forecast of garage revenue, operating expenses, and capital maintenance costs to be updated with each County CIP cycle.
2. An economic stability reserve equivalent to 3 months of annual parking revenues will be established to address potential revenue variability, ramping up to this level over a four-year period beginning in FY 2019. Any draws upon this reserve will be replenished within the subsequent three (3) fiscal years.
3. A maintenance reserve will be established based on an assessment of expected capital renewal needs over a 10-year period.
4. A reserve will be established for the ensuing year of debt service on the Series 2016B Ballston Quarter CDA bonds allocable to garage improvements.
5. The County will meet or exceed all requirements of any financing agreements or trust indentures.
6. The County will target self-sufficiency in consideration of limits imposed on parking user fee raising ability in the garage by the 1984 documents governing original and ongoing development of the garage.

County Board Agenda Item Meeting of July 14, 2018
DATE: July 12, 2018
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 - 2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Adoption
C. M. RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt the Fiscal Year 2019 – 2028 Capital Improvement Plan as amended by County Board direction included in Attachments A - C. 2. Adopt the attached FY 2019 County Bond Funds Appropriations Resolution (Attachment D)
ISSUES: How much capital investment can the County afford during the next ten year planning period and how should that investment be allocated among community priorities?
SUMMARY: The proposed CIP, as revised by County Board direction, provides a ten year plan for investment in County and School infrastructure and assets, totaling $3.4 billion. Funding sources for the CIP include federal and state grants, bonds, pay-as-you-go (PAYG) funding, and dedicated funding sources such as water-sewer revenues and dedicated transportation taxes.
BACKGROUND: The proposed CIP covers a ten-year period from FY 2019 – FY 2028, and includes investments in County government and Schools capital assets. While the CIP is a ten year planning document, it is updated every two years based on changes in financial and economic conditions, community priorities, County planning processes, private sector development and specific project implementation issues. The first two years of the CIP are generally considered to be firm, while the remaining eight years will change based on the factors described above.
DISCUSSION: The County Board held its final wrap-up worksession for the CIP on July 10. Based upon the discussion and recommendations made at that meeting, the following changes are recommended to the County Manager’s proposed. Additional guidance from the County Board will be approved at the July meeting.

Local Parks and Recreation Program changes from the proposed CIP include the following changes to land acquisition, synthetic turf, and Shirlington Park, also included in (Attachment A).
1. Addition of $14.51 million of funding for Parks Land Acquisition, comprised of: a. FY 2019 - $625k from Schools’ share of funding for TJ Upper synthetic turf b. FY 2021 - $1.345 million from Schools’ share of converting Kenmore fields 1 and 2 to turf c. FY 2021 - $1.01 million from bond capacity redirected from the 1212 S Irving Street project. d. FY 2023 - $8.0 million from previously allocated funding for exercising the option to purchase the WETA site e. FY 2026/27 - $3.53 million from Shirlington Park (dividing into two phases, with the second phase to occur beyond the current ten year planning period
2. Synthetic Turf program funding sources adjusted to reduce GO bonds by $1.345 million, previous funding reduced by $0.625 million, and Schools funding increased by $1.97 million based on APS’ adopted CIP and contribution to field conversion at TJ and
1 $1 million of GO bond funding from 1212 S Irving Street is shown as being repurposed to Parks Land Acquisition. The revisions under Public/Government Facilities later in this report discuss possible alternate funding options for this amount. Should the Board redirect the funds, Parks Land Acquisition would be reduced to $13.5 million.
- 2 - A - 16 Kenmore. GO bonds and previous funding of $1.97 million shifted to parks land acquisition. The overall amount of funding and investment in synthetic turf remains the same as the proposed CIP.
3. Shirlington Park project is divided into two phases and reduced by $3.53 million (GO Bonds) as the second phase is deferred to beyond the current ten year planning period. Funds are shifted to parks land acquisition.
Metro and Transportation Program revisions from the Proposed CIP include changes to Metro, Army Navy Country Club Emergency Access Drive, Ballston – MU West Entrance, Crystal City East Entrance, Improvements Outside Major Travel Corridors, WalkArlington, Street Lighting, and Crystal City, Pentagon City, Potomac Yard Streets programs (Attachment A) as a result of various actions since the CIP was proposed. These actions are as follows.
1. Metro dedicated funding was approved by the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, and a new formula for state transit aid for Metro was approved by the State. Based upon revised estimates of the County’s annual contributions to Metro, and additional State aid from the new transit aid formula, $26.4 million of additional Metro subsidy and State aid were included.
2. The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) held a meeting on June 14, 2018 and approved the FY 2018 – FY 2024 Six Year Program and projects to be funded with NVTA regional funds. The County’s proposed CIP assumed regional funding for the Ballston – MU West Entrance, and the Crystal City East Entrance; however, regional funds was not approved for Ballston, and only $5 million of the $87 million request for Crystal City was approved. The revisions to the proposed CIP for Ballston West shift the project schedule and associated NVTA regional funding out by two years. For Crystal City West, State SMART SCALE funding for expansion projects will be requested instead of NVTA Regional funding, and $4 million of additional Crystal City TIF funding will be redirected from the Street Lighting and Crystal City, Pentagon City, Potomac Yard Streets programs to advance design.
3. The Army Navy County Club Emergency Access project will provide emergency vehicle access and potentially provide the opportunity for a connection for bicycle and pedestrian access between the Country Club driveway and the Arlington View neighborhood. The proposed CIP has funding starting in FY 2027 for planning. The adopted CIP has been revised to include near-term dollars in FY 2019 – 2021 ($230k) to develop preliminary design and engineering plans that will determine 1) feasibility/preferred options, 2) ADA compliance, and 3) a refined cost estimate. The results of the studies will inform the next CIP cycle in May 2020.
Public / Government Facilities program revisions from the Proposed CIP include a change to the 1212 S Irving Street project (Attachment A). In July 2018, the project received a $1 million State funding contribution for the group home. As a result, GO bond funding was reduced from the project funding sources. This CIP recommendation currently includes the $1 million as an increase to Parks Land Acquisition. For this amount, three possible options have been discussed
- 3 - A - 17 by the Board as to where to reprogram this balance. These options are 1) Parks & Open Space Land Acquisition, 2) General Land Acquisition, and 3) Neighborhood Conservation. Depending on the Board’s decision, the following changes to the CIP and bond referenda questions and explanations will occur.
1. Redirect the $1 million to Parks Land Acquisition - The summary below reflects the CIP changes by program with the $1 million of funding redirected to Parks Land Acquisition. In a separate action, board report #57 seeks approval of the bond referenda questions and explanations. The attached resolutions in Attachments A (bond referenda resolutions) & B (bond referenda questions and explanations) are consistent with the redirection of funds to Parks Land Acquisition. This increases the 2018 bond referendum for Parks by $1 million from the proposed CIP to a total of $30.33 million.
Alternate CIP Option 1 – Shift $1 Million from 1212 S Irving Street to Neighborhood Conservation. Discussion at the July 10 wrap-up worksession included the potential to redirect $1 million of GO Bond funding to Neighborhood Conservation from the 1212 S Irving Street project instead of to Parks Land Acquisition as is currently proposed. Should the Board decide to provide the funding to Neighborhood Conservation, the following changes to the CIP would occur. Due to the $1 million being part of the 2018 bond referenda, this would require a reduction to the Parks 2018 referendum of $1 million to $29.33 million, and an increase to the Community Infrastructure referendum of $1 million to $38.015 million. Should this be approved, Attachments A1 and B1 in Board Report #57 - Bond Referendum Questions and Explanations, reflects this change to the Adopted CIP.
Option 1 : Shift $1 Million from Parks Land Acquisition to Neighborhood Conservation (Bond Referenda Board Report Attachments A1 & B1) FY19-28 Revised Option 1 $ Change Parks and Recreation 227,711 226,711 (1,000) Public/Government Facilities 197,033 198,033 1,000
Alternate CIP Option 2 – Shift $1 million from 1212 S Irving Street, and $4.875 million of reallocated GO bond funding for Parks Land Acquisition (discussed under “Local Parks and Recreation Program” above), to the General Land Acquisition program under Public / Government Facilities. This would shift the GO Bonds for Land Acquisition from the Parks referendum to the Community Infrastructure referendum. For the bond referenda to be placed on the ballot in 2018, only the $1 million from 1212 S Irving Street would be amended. The other funds will require changes to future referenda in 2024 and 2026.

Arlington Public Schools: The Arlington Public Schools adopted its FY 2019 – FY 2028 CIP on June 21, 2018. The program totals $631 million, including $411 million of general obligation bonds, and will be reflected in the summary tables as part of the County’s Adopted FY 2019 – FY 2028 CIP at the issuance schedules as reflected in the APS approved CIP. The Schools CIP includes funding for a new elementary school at Reed, new middle school at Stratford, additional seats at Wilson, the renovation to include 600 new high school seats at the Education Center, the Career Center project to include a new field, parking garage, 800-seat addition, and performing arts facility, as well as 250 new seats for Arlington Tech, and other investments with the greatest priority.
FY 2019 Bond Funded Project Appropriations: In addition, beginning in FY 2019, staff is requesting appropriation of the FY 2019 bond funded projects at the beginning of the fiscal year as part of CIP adoption. In previous years, appropriation was done during the annual bond sale process which typically occurs at the end of each fiscal year. Beginning in FY 2019, appropriation of revenue and expenditures for the planned FY 2019 bond sale and bond funded projects will occur at the beginning of the fiscal year to align the capital program with the operating budget process. Beginning in FY 2020, this appropriation will be included in the FY 2020 operating budget process.
Since a portion of the FY 2019 appropriation is for bond funded projects to be approved on the November 6, 2018 referenda, appropriation of those projects is requested now but contingent upon and will not occur until the respective referendum for each project is approved by voters, has been filed with the Circuit Court, and the required 30-day contest period has expired. All project expenditures being appropriated in the FY 2019 bond funds are as planned in the Adopted FY 2019 – FY 2028 CIP and are consistent with the multi-year debt projections included in the CIP.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT: Prior to the development of the County Manager’s Proposed FY 2019 – FY 2028 CIP, staff conducted an online survey that yielded over 3,000 unique responses from across the County. Since the release of the proposed CIP in May 2018, an online Town Hall was held on May 30 with Board-appointed Commissions and Committees attending in person, a CIP public hearing was held on June 27, and program specific information was discussed at three County Board work sessions and a joint County-Schools work session. Stakeholders were also invited to provide comments on the County Manager’s proposed CIP after its official release using an online feedback form - yielding over 500 comments from approximately 200 participants.
FISCAL IMPACT: With the adoption of the Schools CIP, the annual debt service projections
- 5 - A - 19 as presented in the County’s Adopted CIP have changed slightly to accommodate both the County and Schools needs. A copy of the revised debt service projections is included as part of Attachment A. The CIP complies with the County Board’s debt and financial policies, resulting in projected debt levels that are consistent with the County’s triple-AAA bond ratings.

Parks Land Acquisition and Open Space
Project Description Arlington County is nationally recognized for the quality and diversity of its open spaces and public recreational opportunities. Maintaining that high level of stewardship and responsiveness to community needs is a continual challenge because of the County's small size, its increasing population density, and the pressures and impacts of urban growth on surviving natural areas and park land. One of the priority actions in the draft Public Spaces Master Plan, which is currently being updated, recommends the addition of 30 acres of new public space over the next ten (10) years. The purpose of the Parks Land Acquisition and Open Space program is to have reserves on hand that allow the County to strategically acquire real property for parks and open space based on recommendations in the Public Spaces Master Plan. Land may also be acquired through site plan contributions or form based code requirements such as the Penrose Square acquisition achieved through the Columbia Pike Form Based Code, Transfer of Development Rights or other land exchanges and property donations such as the property recently conveyed to the County by Arlington Public Schools to expand Zachary Taylor Park.

achieving goals of PSMP Neighborhood(s): VARIOUS
Project Justification Potential acquisitions are based on the compatibility with a number of program goals and priorities identified in the Public Spaces Master Plan (PSMP). Acquisitions are evaluated based on three criteria. Part I assesses alignment with other County Board-adopted or accepted plans including comprehensive plan elements, park master plans, sector/area/corridor plans and Neighborhood Conservation Plans. Part II assesses alignment with the general priorities of the PSMP for acquisitions associated with existing parks and those associated with creation of a new park. Part III assesses alignment with the goals particular toto the intended eventual use of the site: recreational/leisure, natural resources or historic preservation. In addition to the acquisition, the program funds ancillary activities (project management, appraisals, surveys, environmental assessments, demolition, site restoration, fees to change the general land use plan and zoning). The County made six (6) key acquisitions in 2015 and 2016 to acquire infill parcels at Benjamin Banneker Park, Chestnut Hills Park and Lang Street Community Gardens. The County Board recently made a key acquisition in 2018 to acquire two (2) parcels to create a new park at 20th St. S./S. Ives St. near the Pentagon City area. With no new funding scheduled from bond funds over the next ten years, tThe Program will focus on utilizing remaining a combination of existing balances and new funding Bond and PAYG balances (approximately $3.5 M) to fundacquire high priority opportunities that arise. $8 million has specifically been identified for exercising the option to purchase the WETA site at 3620 27th Street South for the future expansion of Jennie Dean Park in the Four Mile Run Valley. The County will also consider adding future one-time funds to PAYG to maintain a program balance and will continue to acquire open space and parks through other tools including site plans, implementation of sector plans, transfer of development rights, and easements.
A - 24 Changes from Prior CIP There is no new funding included for the proposed CIP. An existing balance of $3.5M is available for the program.The program uses a combination of existing balances and new funding totaling $18 million rather than the $15 million shown in the previous FY 2017 to FY 2026 CIP.

Shirlington Park Project Description The Shirlington area is undergoing significant redevelopment, bringing new residents and businesses to an area of the County that was once primarily industrial. The County is close to completion of the two year Four Mile Run Valley (4MRV) Initiative to develop a comprehensive vision and policy framework for the area from Barcroft Park to Nauck. At the conclusion of the planning process in summer 2018, it is anticipated that the County Board will adopt a Parks Master Plan that encompasses Jennie Dean Park, Shirlington Park and Shirlington Dog Park, as well as an overall Four Mile Run Area Plan and the final design for the Nauck Town Square. These plans will help guide public and private investment, including County operations for the long term, along with the preservation and enhancement of natural resources, open spaces and future development in a manner compatible with the surrounding area and consistent with the County's overall policies. Shirlington Park is an 11.5 acre11.5-acre linear park situated between Four Mile Run stream and S. Arlington Mill Drive in Shirlington. The project will implement the adopted Shirlington Park Master Plan and Design Guidelines in two phases. The second phase is beyond the ten-year CIP.

Project Justification The Shirlington Park project encompasses an existing park that features a multi-use trail, fitness area, landscaping, and pedestrian bridge connection across Four Mile Run to Jennie Dean Park and the Shirlington Dog Park, as well as the industrial and cultural resources on the north side of the stream. The project implements the Shirlington Park Master Plan and Design Guidelines, which focuses on adding park amenities including strengthening the primary entries at South Walter Reed Drive and South Shirlington Road, several overlooks with educational/interpretive components, riparian pathways, plaza areas, enhancements to the existing pedestrian bridge, signage, site furnishings, public art, landscaping, invasive removal, and stormwater management. This project will implement the first phase of the planned improvements.
Changes from Prior CIP This is a new project for FY2019-FY2028 CIP. The park master plan was developed as part of the 4MRV Initiative.

1212 S Irving Street Replacement Project Description 1212 South Irving Street is a group home for Arlington adults with developmental disabilities seeking maximum independent living in permanent housing with a sense of community within. Many of the residents also have physical disabilities and are considered low income earners. Residents may attend day programs, training and activities outside of the home during the day and return to a safe, supervised living arrangement in the evenings and on the weekends. The existing facility will be completely demolished. The new facility would be fully accessible and create more private spaces for smaller groups of occupants to alleviate some of the behavioral issues faced currently.
Critical Milestones: Planning Summer 2021 Design Start Fall 2021 Construction Start Fall 2022 Substantial Completion Fall 2023
Project Justification The current 1212 S Irving Street residential facility requires structural repairs and upgrades that exceed the assessed value of the home. There are many areas to the facility that are inaccessible to the residents due to safety concerns. It also does not meet ADA requirements, which currently limit the number of occupants that could be in the program along with the joint usage of common restrooms.

METRO
METRO METRO 2019 − 2028 CIP
Metro Funding
Project Description The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA/Metro) is a unique federal-state-local partnership formed to provide mass transit service to the Washington Metropolitan region. WMATA's Adopted FY 2019 - FY 2024 Capital Budget consists of $8.5 billion of critical system projects necessary to maintain the safety, reliability, and state of good repair of Metro’s infrastructure, equipment, and assets over the next six years. The program focuses heavily on ongoing projects and prioritized system preservation and renewal needs identified in WMATA’s Capital Needs Inventory. This includes replacement / rehab of the system's aging rail infrastructure, funding for the final 164 out of 748 new 7000-series railcars, bus and railcar rehab, replacement of buses and paratransit vehicles, rail power system improvements, technology system improvements, and radio and wireless communication system upgrades.
Compared to previous plans, WMATA’s Adopted FY 2019 - FY 2024 Capital Budget represents a significant funding increase. Previous funding levels were approximately $1 billion annually, which has now risen to $1.5 billion, an average increase of 50%. With Federal and other capital funding sources remaining unchanged, the burden falls on local jurisdictional subsidies which are projected to increase between 300% - 500% annually when compared to historical funding levels. To meet this significant funding request, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia each passed legislation in 2018 which secures a combined $500 million annually of “dedicated funding” for WMATA beginning in FY 2019. In Virginia, the share is $154 million and was funded by a combination of redirected state revenues, a redirection of regional grantors and transient occupancy taxes previously collected by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA), a gain from a floor on regional gas tax revenues, and an additional local funding commitment of $27.1 million dollars.
For Arlington, the estimated funding requirement over ten years in the Proposed FY 2019 – FY 2028 CIP is $293 million. This consists of $220 million of annual local jurisdictional subsidy payments, and $73 million for Arlington’s share of the local funding commitment portion of Virginia’s new WMATA “dedicated funding”. A combination of general obligation bonds, state grants, regional gas tax, and transportation capital funds, are used to fund Arlington's share of the WMATA capital subsidy. Arlington’s proportional share of jurisdictional capital subsidy is outlined in the WMATA Capital Funding Agreement (CFA). The current CFA was adopted in 2010 covering FY 2011 – FY 2016, with three one-year extensions in FY 2017, FY 2018, and FY 2019. A new multi-year capital funding agreement is expected to be drafted among WMATA contributing jurisdictions in the fall of 2018 to cover fiscal years 2020 -2025.
Associated Master Plan: Comprehensive Master Transportation Plan (MTP) for Arlington
A - 34 Project Justification Arlington County participates in funding of WMATA operating and capital needs as required and agreed to in the WMATA Compact. Specific annual funding commitments for capital expenditures are outlined and approved in the WMATA CFA. Annual capital commitments are determined by formula which uses the County's share of rail, bus, and other operating expenditures and applies them proportionally to the respective rail, bus, and other capital expenditures in the CFA. Currently, the formula provides that Arlington County funds approximately 9% of local jurisdictional capital subsidies. More information on WMATA's capital and operating budgets, including copies of the CFA and WMATA Compact, can be found at www.wmata.com.
Changes from Prior CIP WMATA’s Adopted FY 2019 – FY 2024 CIP has increased 50% to $8.5 billion over six years when compared to estimates used in the County’s previous CIP. This has resulted in local jurisdictional subsidies increasing substantially. With the new “dedicated funding” approved by Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Virginia, the mix of local jurisdictional funding required from Arlington, after deducting the County’s share of “dedicated funding”, is relatively unchanged at a 5% increase. However, Virginia’s new WMATA “dedicated funding” eliminates the County’s collection of sales and grantors taxes (collectively part of NVTA Local 30% revenues). Due to this, previous Transportation Capital Funds set aside for WMATA are no longer available. The result of this loss, along with lower estimated revenues from the state, is an additional $90 million of bond funding required over FY 2019 – FY 2028.

Arlington County, Virginia
Debt Capacity Analysis
In developing the CIP, the County establishes its long-range plan for pay-as-you-go (PAYG) and bond/lease purchase financing of its ten- year capital program. In determining the level of capital projects to finance and the method of financing, the County considers its financial ability to undertake these projects. This analysis includes a review of debt capacity factors and the impact of the adopted CIP on these debt capacity factors.
In April 2008, the County Board approved financial and debt management policies that affirmed the County’s existing debt capacity factors. The policies also included guidance on bond term and amortization, specifically that bond-funded projects will typically have a useful life at least as long as the period over which the bonds will be repaid (the average life of County bonds is 11-12 years and final maturity is generally twenty years; however, longer terms may be considered on very long useful life projects). Finally, the Board’s policies provided guidance on the use of variable rate debt and derivatives. The Board has periodically adopted revisions to the financial and debt management policies, most recently as part of the Adotped FY 2018 Operating Budget. These policies serve as the financial framework for the CIP, and a full copy of the adopted policies is included in the Financial & Debt Management Policies section.
The bond rating agencies that rate the County’s debt for potential investors use these debt ratios, coupled with other County and community economic factors. The three major bond rating agencies, Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch Ratings currently rate the County Aaa/AAA /AAA (the highest possible). Arlington is one of a select national group of counties that currently hold these coveted Aaa/AAA/AAA ratings from the three major rating agencies. The County's bond ratings were reaffirmed in May 2018 and historical County bond trading in the secondary market confirm that Arlington belongs within the very top group of municipal credits in the national bond market. The funding levels contained in this CIP would maintain this status.
While there is no legal limit in Virginia on the level of debt issued by Virginia counties, Arlington has issued and plans to issue its debt prudently. Arlington will remain within the acceptable range of debt capacity factors with the CIP based on conservative assumptions, as illustrated on the following pages.
A - 40
Underlying Assumptions
The projected ratios shown in the following tables are based on the County’s Proposed Adopted FY 2019 – FY 2028 CIP. It is important to note that the County’s financial and debt management policies view debt capacity on a combined basis (i.e., County and Schools) as do the bond rating agencies.
The projected debt ratios are based on conservative revenue growth assumptions: 1.2% growth in FY 2020, slowly escalating to 3% in FY 2027 and thereafter. Similarly conservative assumptions have been used for projected growth in market value of the County’s tax base (identical to revenue growth assumptions) and per capita income growth of 2 percent annually.
It should be noted that these debt ratios include only general obligation and other tax-supported debt, including bonds issued through the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) or other conduit issuers for County projects where debt service is paid for from the General Fund. For example, these ratios include the subject-to-appropriation Series 2017 IDA revenue bonds issued in October 2017 for the acquisition of the Buck property, and for acquisition, design, and construction of the Head Start facility at 2920 South Glebe Road. The ratios do not include bonds where the County has provided a moral obligation pledge as credit support to a project (e.g., the Kettler Iceplex facility or the Gates of Ballston project). In charts C and D of this section, the customary general obligation debt to the tax base ratio chart has been amended to also show the effect of moral obligation or “subject-to-appropriation” backed capital financing. The ratios do not include debt that is supported by user fees from enterprise funds, including debt included for the Utilities Fund.
Projected Debt Ratios
Ratio of Debt Service to General Expenditures No Greater Than 10% -- Over the ten-year planning period, this ratio will range from 9.0% to 9.9%, peaking in FY 20232024.
Outstanding Debt as Percentage of Market Valuation of Tax Base No Greater than 3% -- The amount of debt that the County carries is moderate when compared to its tax base. This ratio is projected to range from 1.4% to 1.6% over the ten year planning period.
Ratio of Debt per Capita to Per Capita Income No Greater than 6% -- The County estimates that the Debt to Income ratio will range from 4.98% to 5.98%, assuming 2.2% growth in per capita income.
Growth in Debt Service over the Ten Year Planning Period No Greater than Ten-Year Historical Growth in Revenues – Average annual growth in debt service is estimated at 3.34% compared to historical average ten-year revenue growth of 3.5%.

Parks Land Acquisition and Open Space
Project Description Arlington County is nationally recognized for the quality and diversity of its open spaces and public recreational opportunities. Maintaining that high level of stewardship and responsiveness to community needs is a continual challenge because of the County's small size, its increasing population density, and the pressures and impacts of urban growth on surviving natural areas and park land. One of the priority actions in the draft Public Spaces Master Plan, which is currently being updated, recommends the addition of 30 acres of new public space over the next ten (10) years. The purpose of the Parks Land Acquisition and Open Space program is to have reserves on hand that allow the County to strategically acquire real property for parks and open space based on recommendations in the Public Spaces Master Plan. Land may also be acquired through site plan contributions or form based code requirements such as the Penrose Square acquisition achieved through the Columbia Pike Form Based Code, Transfer of Development Rights or other land exchanges and property donations such as the property recently conveyed to the County by Arlington Public Schools to expand Zachary Taylor Park.
Associated Master Plan: Critical Milestones: Advisory Commission: Public Spaces Master Plan (PSMP) Park and Recreation Commission Annual review of progress towards each January
achieving goals of PSMP Neighborhood(s): VARIOUS
Project Justification Potential acquisitions are based on the compatibility with a number of program goals and priorities identified in the Public Spaces Master Plan (PSMP). Acquisitions are evaluated based on three criteria. Part I assesses alignment with other County Board-adopted or accepted plans including comprehensive plan elements, park master plans, sector/area/corridor plans and Neighborhood Conservation Plans. Part II assesses alignment with the general priorities of the PSMP for acquisitions associated with existing parks and those associated with creation of a new park. Part III assesses alignment with the goals particular toto the intended eventual use of the site: recreational/leisure, natural resources or historic preservation. In addition to the acquisition, the program funds ancillary activities (project management, appraisals, surveys, environmental assessments, demolition, site restoration, fees to change the general land use plan and zoning). The County made six (6) key acquisitions in 2015 and 2016 to acquire infill parcels at Benjamin Banneker Park, Chestnut Hills Park and Lang Street Community Gardens. The County Board recently made a key acquisition in 2018 to acquire two (2) parcels to create a new park at 20th St. S./S. Ives St. near the Pentagon City area. With no new funding scheduled from bond funds over the next ten years, tThe Program will focus on utilizing remaining a combination of existing balances and new funding Bond and PAYG balances (approximately $3.5 M) to fundacquire high priority opportunities that arise. $8 million has specifically been identified for exercising the option to purchase the WETA site at 3620 27th Street South for the future expansion of Jennie Dean Park in the Four Mile Run Valley. The County will also consider adding future one-time funds to PAYG to maintain a program balance and will continue to acquire open space and parks through other tools including site plans, implementation of sector plans, transfer of development rights, and easements.
A - 50 Changes from Prior CIP There is no new funding included for the proposed CIP. An existing balance of $3.5M is available for the program.The program uses a combination of existing balances and new funding totaling $17 million rather than the $15 million shown in the previous FY 2017 to FY 2026 CIP.

COMMUNITY CONSERVATION
NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION COMMUNITY CONSERVATION 2019 − 2028 CIP
Neighborhood Conservation Project Description The goal of the Neighborhood Conservation (NC) program is to enhance and preserve residential areas by providing resident-initiated public improvements based upon regularly updated neighborhood plans. The Neighborhood Conservation program funds Street Improvements, Residential Traffic Management, Park Enhancement, Street Lighting, Beautification, Stormwater Management and Landscaping projects.
Associated Master Plan: Advisory Commission: Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee (NCAC)
Neighborhood(s): VARIOUS
Project Justification Through the NC Program, residents commit to conserving and improving their neighborhoods by preparing and updating Neighborhood Conservation Plans that reflect community needs. Neighborhood Plans also serve as a planning guide for each individual neighborhood. NC Representatives participate in the deliberation of the Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee (NCAC), and nominate plan-based improvement projects for funding. All NC projects are identified in NC plans submitted by the respective Civic Associations, with assistance provided by NC program staff.
Changes from Prior CIP Due to overall funding constraints, new allocations have been reduced from the $6 million per year that appeared in prior CIPs, but are scheduled to progressively increase back to prior levels starting in FY 2023. The program retains access to $4 million in unspent balances and an additional $17 million in authorized but unissued funds. Of the current $21 million fund balance, $15.5 million is allocated to projects where the neighborhood scoping process has been completed and approved by the County Board. The focus in the upcoming CIP is implementation of those projects. While significant progress has been made on design execution, construction implementation happens over time and the spend-down will reflect that because the majority of expenses are incurred in the construction phase. Thus, while increases in design and construction resources started in CY 2017, the majority of the approved projects and associated fund balances are expected to be expended by the end of FY 2022. The lower levels of funding forecast for FY 19-22 will substantially reduce the number of new projects to be advanced by neighborhood groups to 1-2 per annual funding round, depending on project type. With the planned restoration to earlier funding levels beginning in FY 2023, the ability to deliver new projects will ultimately be restored to current levels.

Parks Land Acquisition and Open Space
Project Description Arlington County is nationally recognized for the quality and diversity of its open spaces and public recreational opportunities. Maintaining that high level of stewardship and responsiveness to community needs is a continual challenge because of the County's small size, its increasing population density, and the pressures and impacts of urban growth on surviving natural areas and park land. One of the priority actions in the draft Public Spaces Master Plan, which is currently being updated, recommends the addition of 30 acres of new public space over the next ten (10) years. The purpose of the Parks Land Acquisition and Open Space program is to have reserves on hand that allow the County to strategically acquire real property for parks and open space based on recommendations in the Public Spaces Master Plan. Land may also be acquired through site plan contributions or form based code requirements such as the Penrose Square acquisition achieved through the Columbia Pike Form Based Code, Transfer of Development Rights or other land exchanges and property donations such as the property recently conveyed to the County by Arlington Public Schools to expand Zachary Taylor Park.
Associated Master Plan: Critical Milestones: Advisory Commission: Public Spaces Master Plan (PSMP) Park and Recreation Commission Annual review of progress towards each January
achieving goals of PSMP Neighborhood(s): VARIOUS
Project Justification Potential acquisitions are based on the compatibility with a number of program goals and priorities identified in the Public Spaces Master Plan (PSMP). Acquisitions are evaluated based on three criteria. Part I assesses alignment with other County Board-adopted or accepted plans including comprehensive plan elements, park master plans, sector/area/corridor plans and Neighborhood Conservation Plans. Part II assesses alignment with the general priorities of the PSMP for acquisitions associated with existing parks and those associated with creation of a new park. Part III assesses alignment with the goals particular toto the intended eventual use of the site: recreational/leisure, natural resources or historic preservation. In addition to the acquisition, the program funds ancillary activities (project management, appraisals, surveys, environmental assessments, demolition, site restoration, fees to change the general land use plan and zoning). The County made six (6) key acquisitions in 2015 and 2016 to acquire infill parcels at Benjamin Banneker Park, Chestnut Hills Park and Lang Street Community Gardens. The County Board recently made a key acquisition in 2018 to acquire two (2) parcels to create a new park at 20th St. S./S. Ives St. near the Pentagon City area. With no new funding scheduled from bond funds over the next ten years, tThe Program will focus on utilizing remaining existing balances Bond and PAYG balances (approximately $3.5 M) to fundacquire high priority opportunities that arise. $8 million has specifically been identified for exercising the option to purchase the WETA site at 3620 27th Street South for the future expansion of Jennie Dean Park in the Four Mile Run Valley. The County will also consider adding future one-time funds to PAYG to maintain a program balance and will continue to acquire open space and parks through other tools including site plans, implementation of sector plans, transfer of development rights, and easements.
Changes from Prior CIP A - 57 There is no new funding included for the proposed CIP. An existing balance of $3.5M is available for the program.The program uses existing balances totaling $12.125 million rather than the $15 million shown in the previous FY 2017 to FY 2026 CIP.

A - 61 FY 2019 – 2028 Adopted Capital Improvement Plan Direction to the County Manager as of July 14, 2018
1. Army Navy Access Drive Develop preliminary design and engineering plans for the project to determine 1) feasibility/preferred options, 2) ADA compliance, and 3) a refined cost estimate.
Use funding from the WALKArlington and Improvements Outside Major Corridors CIP elements in FY 2020 and FY 2021 to complete this task. To accomplish this, shift:
• $105,000 in Planning funding (NVTA Local) from Improvements Outside Major Corridors, fully expending that available funding for FY 2020 and FY 2021. Note: This would not allow for planning on other projects on minor arterials in those FYs.
• $125,000 in Design/Construction funding (GO Bonds) from WALKArlington, leaving $50,000 in each FY 2020 and FY 2021. Note: This would limit the amount of funding available for high priority pedestrian improvements in at various yet-to- be-planned locations across Arlington.
This proposal would provide for preliminary design and engineering to proceed at the same schedule as identified in the last two adopted CIPs (although not construction), and would provide some limited information to inform the next CIP cycle, scheduled to be released in May 2020.
2. Columbia Pike – Four Mile Run Bridge Bike / Ped Improvements Improvement of this crossing is to be addressed through the Bridge Renovation Program in the Proposed CIP. That program contains funding for three bridges to be completed sequentially, beginning with Shirlington Road Bridge over Four Mile Run, Meade Street Bridge over Arlington Boulevard, and rounding out with a placeholder for a future bridge. This direction confirms that the Columbia Pike Bridge over Four Mile Run utilize that placeholder funding, which has a local allocation of $2.8m in FY 2025 – FY 2027. This level of funding would be sufficient to design and retrofit the existing bridge, rather than construct a parallel facility. The funding for the retrofit would include a minimum ten-foot sidewalk on the north side of the bridge and a physical buffer from traffic. Other bike / pedestrian improvements along Columbia Pike are in part addressed in the staff response to CIP worksession follow-up here.
A - 62 3. Neighborhood Conservation Given both Arlington County’s FY 2019 operating budget constraints and FY 2019-2028 CIP funding pressures, and the near-term outlook that this will continue, the County Board believes that the NC Program would benefit from a thorough assessment and review, including a potential restructuring, with a focus on ensuring that necessary community infrastructure be funded and delivered in the most efficient, cost-effective, equitable and timely manner possible. Accordingly, the County Board directs the County Manager, with the advice and consent of the County Board, to develop a proposed scope of work, working group representation, and general timeline no later than September 30, 2018 to perform such assessment and review, including of the relationship of the Neighborhood Conservation program to the Neighborhood Complete Streets program and other County programs that fund, or could fund, substantially similar or complementary projects. The Neighborhood Conservation and Community Infrastructure Working Group (NCCI) will return to the Manager with findings and recommendations for County Manager and/or County Board action in time to inform development by the County Manager and action by the County Board on the FY 2021 operating budget and the FY 2021-2030 CIP. The Manager will appoint a body that ensures that the perspectives of relevant stakeholders and the broader County are represented, provide for an appropriate community engagement process as the working group moves forward, and convene at least one work session with the County Board to provide an interim update and check- in. In addition, reallocate $1 million in general obligation bond funding in FY 2019 to the Neighborhood Conservation program which has been freed up from the 1212 S. Irving Street group home project due to the receipt of state funding. 4. Stormwater
The County Manager and staff will enhance its communications and outreach plan for educating and informing the public regarding the County’s stormwater program and flood reduction projects, as well as actions and measures all property owners including homeowners and businesses may take independently to reduce their exposure and risk to flooding impacts. The communications plan will provide additional outreach strategies for ensuring proactive dissemination of information to all property owners in the County with easy and equal access to educational materials by September 2018.
Additionally, a ‘white paper’ will be developed by the end of September 2018 explaining the County’s approach to a balanced stormwater capital program which includes water quality, regulatory compliance, as well as stormwater infrastructure maintenance and capacity improvements. Clarity should be provided on how stormwater capacity projects are prioritized and what factors are considered in determining which projects are
A - 63 feasible and ready to move forward to design and construction (e.g., funding, total cost, cost-benefit, physical constraints, alignment challenges, equity, etc.)
5. Parks & Open Space Land Acquisition
The following proposal, laid out by referenda year, totals $13.5 million for parkland acquisition in addition to the $3.5 million currently on hand, for a total of $17 million, across the ten-year CIP.
This option recognizes that APS’ adopted CIP contributes funds to field conversions at Thomas Jefferson and Kenmore Middle Schools, and also recognizes that funds ($8 million) have been set aside for acquisition of the WETA site on Four Mile Run Drive for the expansion of Jennie Dean Park. This option would also split the Shirlington Park project into two phases, with the second phase moving beyond the current ten-year CIP timeframe.
The $3.5 million of existing funds available is what is shown in the County Manager’s proposed CIP and is prior to the proposed acquisition of 3514 S. Four Mile Run Drive that will be acted on at the Board’s July 14th meeting. That acquisition will utilize approximately $1.45 million of the existing funds for the purchase of the property and demolition of the building and other improvements.
• FY2019 ◦ $625k (APS 30% share of converting TJ Upper to synthetic turf; already in approved APS CIP budget) ◦ $0.625 million TOTAL FY2019
• FY2021 ◦ $1.345 million (APS 30% share of converting Kenmore #1 and Kenmore #2 to synthetic turf; already in approved APS CIP budget) ◦ $1.345 million TOTAL FY2021
• FY2023 ◦ $8 million (for exercising option to purchase WETA site consistent with the Four Mile Run Valley plan, funds previously allocated from prior year bond premium) ◦ $8 million TOTAL FY2023
• FY2025 ◦ $1 million from Shirlington Park (reduce design costs by 50%, separate project into two phases, the second phase is outside the ten year CIP) ◦ $1 million TOTAL FY2025

County Board Agenda Item Meeting of July 14, 2018
REVISED REPORT
DATE: July 12, 2018
SUBJECT: Resolutions and Questions to be included in the 2018 Bond Referenda
REVISION EXPLANATION: The base scenario (Attachments A & B) in the original report has been revised to be consistent with the Adopted CIP request with the $1 million increase to the Parks bond referendum. The revised report also includes Attachments A1 & B1 which are the resolutions and questions and explanations that would be consistent with either of the Scenarios 1 or 2 in the Adopted CIP report should those be adopted (Removing $1 million from Parks referendum and Increasing Community Infrastructure $1 million for Neighborhood Conservation or land acquisition). The resolutions also include revised language received from Arlington Public Schools in the explanation to the referendum describing the Career Center project.
C. M. RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt the resolutions in Attachment A, as summarized below, and the explanation of the referendum questions to appear in publications, at voter registration sites, and polling places as detailed in Attachment B, in order to initiate and facilitate the November 6, 2018, bond referenda.
a. Metro and Transportation $ 74,570,000 b. Local Parks and Recreation 2930,330,000 c. Community Infrastructure 3736,015,000 d. Arlington Public Schools 103,000,000 TOTAL $243,915,000

County Manager: 57. County Attorney: *****
Staff: Jason Friess, Department of Management and Finance A - 66 ISSUE: This is a request for approval for the placement of capital projects, consistent with the County and Schools’ Adopted Capital Improvement Programs (CIP), on the November 2018 ballot for consideration by the voters for general obligation bond funding.
SUMMARY: The County Board will approve the Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 - 2028 CIP on July 14, 2018, which includes the Schools’ Adopted CIP, adopted by the School Board on June 21. The County’s Adopted CIP includes various projects to be considered for a November 2018 County government referenda of $140.915 million and a School referendum of $103.000 million.
BACKGROUND: The County government’s proposed bond totals are derived from a compilation of individual projects contained in the adopted CIP. These projects are classified into separate categories. If the bond referenda questions are approved by the voters, the County is legally prohibited from reallocating funding from one referenda category to another. Within the referenda categories, however, the County Board may make changes to specific projects; this flexibility is necessary because of potential rapid changes in construction pricing or other uncontrollable factors. The County Board also has the option of issuing a lesser amount of bonds than that approved by the voters or revising the specific projects, within the proposed authorizing language, to be funded with bond proceeds. Attachment B is a draft of the bond questions and explanations that would appear in informational publications. This information is also provided at voter registration sites, posted at each individual polling place and the County’s website. The bond referenda language was prepared in consultation with bond counsel.
DISCUSSION: The County and Schools’ Adopted CIPs, which set the parameters for the County and Schools bond referenda requests, reflects a balance of strategic investments and maintaining our existing infrastructure. The adopted referenda requests, which are summarized below, are consistent with the County’s financial and debt management policies.

Arlington Public Design – Construction of a new school at Reed, Addition Schools and renovation of the Career Center / Arlington Tech and 103,000,000 the Education Center, and Various School Maintenance Capital Projects TOTAL $243,915,000
Extensive information on the details of each of these projects can be found in the CIP documents on the County’s and Schools’ websites. The summary of County projects included in the Adopted 2018 bond referenda can be found on pages B-5 & B-6 of the County’s CIP, with additional details in the remainder of the County’s CIP document. The Adopted CIP book will be published on the County’s website no later than September 2018.
Attachment B includes the proposed bond questions and explanations as they would appear in informational publications distributed by the County at polling places, other County facilities, and on the County’s website. Consistent with state law, the actual ballot will reflect only the proposed bond question.
CIP Adoption Alternate Options 1 and 2 – Should the County Board adopt either of the options 1 or 2 when adopting Board Report #56 - Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 - 2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Adoption, then Attachments A1 and B1 would need to be adopted. In these attachments, $1 million of funding from the 2018 Local Parks and Recreation bond referendum would be placed under the 2018 Community Infrastructure bond referendum for the benefit of either the Neighborhood Conservation program or for General Land Acquisition. The revised totals would be $29.330 million for Parks, and $37.015 million for Community Infrastructure.
BALLOT LAYOUT It is recommended that the following four bond referenda questions be on one or more rows or windows on the voting machines in the following order: a. Metro and Transportation b. Local Parks & Recreation c. Community Infrastructure d. Arlington Public Schools
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT: During the CIP process, a significant amount of community input was sought. During the CIP development and consideration process, staff conducted an online survey that yielded over 3,000 unique responses from across the County. In addition, an online Town Hall was held on May 30 with Board-appointed Commissions and Committees attending in person, a CIP public hearing was held on June 27, and program specific information was discussed at three County Board work sessions and a joint County-Schools work session. The adopted CIP will be published in hard copy and will be available on the County website later this summer.
- 3 - A - 68 FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated impact on the County’s General Fund from the proposed bond financing plan included in the adopted CIP and the proposed referenda for the next two fiscal years is shown below. It should be noted that the amount of debt service to be budgeted in FY 2020 and FY 2021 will be determined after future project cash flow needs (and thus actual bond issue amounts) are completed. The table below also includes all outstanding and future subject-to-appropriation debt supported by the General Fund. In addition to debt service costs, certain new projects in the CIP and referenda will result in increased operating costs. Additional information on these costs can be found in the CIP document on the County’s website.
