CAPITAL INVESTMENT
PROGRAM
“Capital planning and budgeting is
central to economic development,
transportation, communication,
delivery of other essential
services, and environmental
management and quality of life.
Much of what is accomplished by
local government depends on
asound longterm investment in
infrastructure and equipment.”
– from ICMA’s Capital Budgeting: A Guide for
Local Governments
Capital Investment Plan FY2012‐2016
City of Somerville, Massachusetts

CAPITAL PLAN OVERVIEW
The City of Somerville’s $142.7 million five‐year Capital Investment Plan is an
investment program for the City’s future. This plan was created with the underlying
themes of upgrading and modernizing the City’s aging infrastructure and facilities,
expanding the City’s economic base, and helping improve the City’s diverse and
important neighborhoods. The Capital Plan is the City’s investment roadmap for the
next five years and should be strategically implemented to provide Somerville’s
residents with an improved quality of life along with a more efficient and effective
government.
The Capital Investment Plan is comprised of two parts: the Capital Budget, which is
presented to the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen and approved annually, and a
Capital Plan that outlines potential projects over a five year time span.
The Capital Investment Plan document details projected spending for equipment
and construction projects over the next five years, providing policymakers the
opportunity to finance projects, coordinate City needs, and plan for future risks and
needs.
A Capital project is defined as a major, non‐recurring expenditure that generally
meets all of the following criteria:
• Massachusetts General Laws permit the City to issue bonds to finance the
expenditure
• The expenditure is a facility, object, or asset costing more than $25,000
• The expenditure will have a useful life of 10 years or more for buildings or
building components and five years for vehicles and equipment; and
• Planning, engineering, or design services may be considered capital when
such services are integral to a construction, renewal, or replacement project
that meets the criteria for a capital expenditure
Projects and assets that do not meet these requirements are considered operating
expenses and are included in the operating budget.
Examples of typical capital projects include:
• New public buildings (including equipment & furnishings)
• Significant alterations, additions, or improvements to existing buildings
• Land improvements, acquisition, and development
• Equipment replacement and/or refurbishing
• Street construction and major resurfacing
• Water main construction and rehabilitation
• Long‐range planning studies

A Capital Investment Plan provides many benefits, including:
Focuses attention on community goals and needs. Capital projects can be brought
into line with the City's objectives, allowing projects to be prioritized based on need.
Furthermore, the CIP can be used as an effective tool for achieving the goals set
forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Encourages more efficient program administration. By enhancing the level of
communication among the various departments implementing capital improvement
projects, the City is able to better coordinate efforts, avoiding duplication of efforts
and potential conflicts. Work can be more effectively scheduled and available
personnel and equipment can be better utilized when it is known in advance what,
when, and where projects will be undertaken.
Identifies the most economically sound means of funding projects. Through proper
planning, the need for bond issues or other revenue production measures can be
foreseen and action can be taken before the need becomes so critical that
emergency financing measures are required. By identifying funding needs the City is
able to target needs by priority and work to put in place sources of funding for those
projects where capacity may fall short.
Enhances the City's credit rating. Dramatic changes in the tax structure and bonded
indebtedness can be avoided with proper planning that allows the City to minimize
the impact of capital improvement projects. By keeping planned projects within the
financial capabilities of the City, we are able to preserve our credit rating and make
the City more attractive to business and industry.
CAPITAL PLANNING PROCESS
The Capital Investment Plan is prepared from a city‐wide perspective. There is no
assumption of a budget quota for individual departments.
Capital budget requests are submitted by Department Heads to the Finance
Department accompanied by detailed cost estimates of capital costs and potential
impact on the Operating Budget. The Finance Department evaluates the City’s
overall financial situation and, within this larger context, each department’s request
is compared to the prior year’s recommendations and to any long‐term plan for that
department. Important questions raised in the process include: Does the request
reflect an interdepartmental planning effort? Has the department considered all
sources of funding? Has the Department undertaken a cost/benefit analysis? The
Finance Department looks for evidence of longer term planning for departmental
needs, of planning for maintenance expenses, and of interdepartmental cooperation.
While most departmental requests have merit, the City’s projected financing
Capital Investment Plan FY2012‐2016
City of Somerville, Massachusetts
8
resources fall short of accommodating all requests. Very difficult decisions must be
made as to what projects receive funding in any given fiscal year. In reviewing the
requests of the operating departments, the Administration determines whether or
not the request will fulfill one of the following goals of the Mayor:
Mayoral Goals
1. [Quality of Life] Celebrate Somerville as and exceptional place to live, work
and play.
2. [Safe Neighborhoods] Protect and Support families and individuals.
3. [Fiscally Sound Management] Maximize return on taxpayer dollars
4. [Education] Provide high‐quality education opportunities to meet the needs
of our students and community.
5. [Economic Development & Community Vision] Promote Economic
Development consistent with SomerVision and the City’s Comprehensive
Master Plan.
6. [Accountability & Performance] Improve City performance by increasing
accountability and transparency.
7. [Customer Service] Offer professional and courteous treatment, prompt and
thorough responses to constituent requests, and reliable access to
government services.
8. [Innovation & Technology] Utilize new technologies to better coordinate,
support and deliver city services.
9. [Environment] Promote a healthy environment by adopting eco‐friendly
policies and implementing energy efficiency.
10. [Innovative and Responsive Workforce] Promote and innovative and
responsive workplace that solves problems, achieves goals and delivers
quality services to citizens.
If the project meets one of the Mayor’s goals, the city uses a number of other criteria
for evaluation. Major focal points of evaluation are:
• Imminent threat to the health and safety of citizens/property
• Preservation of operations. This does not include ordinary maintenance but
rather maintaining a current service level through improvement of a capital
asset. These may be major expenditures that will avoid costly replacement in
the future.
• Requirement of State or Federal Law/regulation
• Improvement of Infrastructure
• Improvement in the efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery
• Alleviation of an overtaxed/overburdened situation

After considerable review and discussion, the Mayor finalizes each project. The
individual projects are codified into the Capital Investment Plan. Each project in the
CIP has an individual data sheet describing the project in detail. Each project data
sheet includes:
o Project title: Provides a brief description of the project.
o Site Information: Location map and address (if available) indicating the
project’s approximate location within the city.
o Description/Justification: Information about the purpose and scope of the
project and explanation of why the project is needed.
o Impact on Operating Budget: An integral part of planning for a capital project
is to ensure that funding is available for any additional, ongoing operating
and maintenance costs that will be incurred once a project is complete. These
include: additional staffing, utilities, debt service payments, etc. The Capital
Investment Plan addresses this issue by including anticipated impacts on the
operating budget in each project data sheet.
o Project Costs/Source of Funds: Details of project expenditures and sources of
funding, including prior years funding and sources for the project.
SOURCES OF FUNDING
The Capital Budget represents the funding for the first year of the Plan. Projects in
the first year of the Plan generally represent the city’s most immediate investment
priorities. Projects that are included in the Plan are not guaranteed for funding as
the Plan is a reflection of the need within the City. The Capital Investment Plan is
intended to be a fluid document that will be subject to change each year as priorities
change and as additional information on funding streams becomes more defined.
Loss of state aid, emergencies, unforeseen and extraordinary expenditures in the
operating budget, higher than anticipated borrowing costs, and federal grant
cutbacks are all factors that can force a change in the assumptions of the Capital
Investment Plan.
Funding for the first year of the Plan is submitted to the Board of Aldermen for
appropriation. Each item is considered separately in accordance with the
Massachusetts General Laws.
The potential funding sources for the City’s capital investments are:
• Available Funds (Free Cash) – The City regularly appropriates General Fund
“Free Cash” to finance short‐term, small capital investment projects in their
entirety. Funds may be appropriated directly from the General Fund Tax
Levy to the Operating Budget.
Capital Investment Plan FY2012‐2016
City of Somerville, Massachusetts
10
• Enterprise Fund Proceeds – The City Operates the following Enterprise
Funds: Water, Sewer, Ice Rink, and Dilboy Field. The policy of the City of
Somerville is to recover the full budgetary cost of water and sewer
operations and capital replacement from water and sewer use charges. Debt
Service and issuance costs associated with water and sewer projects are
financed from water and sewer use charges. Program receipts from the
operation of the Veterans Memorial Skating Rink and the Dilboy Field may be
used to finance capital projects for these respective entities.
• Enterprise Fund Retained Earnings – The accumulated earnings of an
Enterprise fund may be used to fund capital improvements. The earnings
flow to an Equity Account known as “Retained Earnings” and are certified
annually by the State Department of Revenue.
• Debt Service – Projects funded by debt service refer to those expenditures
that are acquired through borrowing, the payments for which may or may
not affect the next fiscal year, but in any event are paid for over an extended
period of time, usually three to twenty years. Those extended payments
include both principal and interest, usually referred to as “debt service”. The
City has traditionally financed large capital projects with debt service. Debt
Service can be appropriated under the General Fund Tax Levy, from
Enterprise Funds, or from Stabilization Funds.
• Stabilization Funds – Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 40, Section 5B
provides for the establishment and maintenance of Capital Project
Stabilization Funds. The Mayor and the Board of Aldermen may vote to
appropriate sums of money into a Stabilization Fund for purposes of
accumulating sums for future capital project financing. Appropriations may
be made from a Stabilization Fund by a two‐thirds vote of the Board of
Aldermen for any purpose for which the City is authorized to borrow under
Chapter 44, Sections 7 and 8. The City’s largest Stabilization Funds are the
Capital Projects Stabilization Fund (Pay‐As‐You‐Go Projects) and the
Assembly Square Stabilization Fund (Parks and Park Improvements).
• Unexpended/Unobligated Bond Proceeds – Unexpended and unobligated
balances from bond proceeds, may be appropriated on the motion of the
Mayor by the Board of Aldermen, and used as a financing source for a new
capital improvement projects with an asset life similar to the original issue.
• District Increment Financing – M.G.L. Chapter 40Q authorizes cities and
towns to create development districts to segregate the taxes levied against
new property developed in such districts since they were created (“Tax
Increments”) and to use and pledge such tax increments to finance project
costs within the district. A development district may be as small as one parcel
Capital Investment Plan FY2012‐2016
City of Somerville, Massachusetts
11
or may comprise up to 25% of a town or city's land. A district can be in effect
for a maximum of 30 years. Each district must have a unique development
program. The development program spells out the goals of the district and
the means to achieve them. Once a district and program have been certified,
the city or town has the ability to use various tools to implement the
program. These include acquiring land, constructing or reconstructing
improvements (such as buildings, roads, schools and parks), incurring
indebtedness and pledging tax increments and other project revenues for
repayment of these debts. The City is using DIF as a financing tool for
infrastructure development at Assembly Row.
• State and Federal Grants – The City uses dedicated state aid and grant
funding to finance capital investment when these funds are available. The
most notable sources of this financing are Chapter 90 State Highway Funds
and the Community Development Block Grant.
• Sale of Surplus Property – Proceeds from the sale of surplus municipal real
estate may be appropriated on the motion of the Mayor by the Board of
Aldermen for financing capital projects. Generally, these proceeds are
appropriated to a Stabilization Fund.
• Public/Private Partnerships – A Public/Private Partnership is a contractual
agreement between a public agency and a private sector entity whereby the
skills and assets of each sector (public and private) are shared in delivering a
service or facility for the use of the general public. In addition to the sharing
of resources, each party shares in the risks and rewards potential in the
delivery of the service and/or facility.
• Other Available Funds – Other sources include Parking Meter Receipts,
Insurance Recoveries, and closeouts to Undesignated Fund Balance.
CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN FINANCING POLICIES
The City of Somerville has adopted several Capital Investment Financing Policies as
a guide for decision‐making.
A) General Fund Debt Service Benchmark
Except for projects or improvements authorized by a Proposition 2 ½ Debt
Exclusion vote of the electorate, long‐term debt for general financing for
general municipal purposes shall be not exceed five percent (5%) of total
General Fund expenditures. This benchmark measures the City's ability to
finance debt within its current budget, similar to the measurement of
household income dedicated to mortgage payments. This is the most
immediate measure of ability to pay.
Capital Investment Plan FY2012‐2016
City of Somerville, Massachusetts
12
B) Water & Sewer Enterprise Funds Benchmark
Water and Sewer Debt Service should not exceed twenty percent (20%) of
water and sewer operating revenues. This benchmark recognizes the
capital intensive nature of the Water & Sewer Enterprise Funds while
ensuring that investment in the City’s water and sewer systems does not
place dramatic increases on the ratepayer.
C) Use of “Free Cash”
Free Cash in excess of that needed to fund the Operating Budget should be
used for non‐recurring or emergency expenditures or appropriated to a
Stabilization Fund for future capital projects and equipment purchases.
The City will endeavor to apportion a minimum of 30% of its yearly free
cash certification to the Capital Investment Plan.
D) Use of Debt
All current operating expenditures will be paid for with current operating
revenues. The City will not use long‐term debt for current operations.
E) Sale of Assets
Proceeds from the sale of surplus municipal property shall be dedicated to
capital improvement financing.
F) Stabilization Fund Balances
A minimum balance of $4.8 million shall be maintained as reserves as of
June 30th of each fiscal year. Of the $4.8 million in reserves, a minimum
balance of $2 million shall be maintained in the Capital Stabilization Fund.
This benchmark is established to assure the bond rating agencies of adequate
reserves.
FY 2012 CAPITAL FINANCING STRATEGY
The “Capital Budget” represents the funding for the first year of the capital
improvement plan each year. Projects in the annual budget represent the City’s
most immediate investment priorities and are the projects with the highest return
on investment for the taxpayers of Somerville.
As noted earlier, the City strives to keep General Fund Debt Service costs at a ratio of
5% or less of General Fund Operating Expenditures. In measuring the benchmark
and planning over the five year period of the Plan, the City will assume a Long‐Term
Capital Investment Plan FY2012‐2016
City of Somerville, Massachusetts
13
interest rate of 4.5% for long‐term issues and a Short Term Borrowing Rate of 2%.
In the early stages of projects, the City generally borrows on a short‐term basis. The
City evaluates market conditions as the project progresses to determine the
feasibility of borrowing on a long‐term basis. The Five Year Capital Project Plan
Payment Schedule, included in the appendix, assumes borrowing on a short‐term
basis for a period of two years, at which point the City issues a long‐term general
obligation bond. The City assumes an average growth of 4.5% a year in General
Fund Expenditures.
Below is the financing strategy for the FY2012 Capital Budget.
General Fund Debt Service
The City's relatively low ratio of debt service to general fund expenditures provides
more budgetary flexibility to address financial problems that may arise. Debt
payments are not discretionary. Courts have ruled that these payments must be
made even before salary payments for employees. Communities with high levels of
debt service relative to operating expenditures have a larger portion of their budget
dedicated to payments that must be made regardless of the community's financial
situation. Having a lower ratio means less money is dedicated to debt service, which
means more flexibility exists within the operating budget.
Expenditures for General Fund Debt Service totaled $8,843,192 at June 30,
2011. This constituted a ratio of 4.95% General Fund Debt Service
Expenditures to General Fund Expenditures.
The Projected General Fund Debt Service at June 30, 2011 before adding on projects
from the FY2012‐FY2016 Capital Investment Plan is as follows:

The most immediate capital need for the City is the reconstruction of the fire
damaged East Somerville Community School. Gutted by fire in December 2007, East
Somerville Community School students have been re‐routed to four different
schools throughout the City. The plan is to reunite students under one roof in a
newly renovated school to open by September 2013. The renovated East Somerville
Community School will be considered state‐of‐the‐art with 36 classrooms; four
technology/computer labs; a full size gym; and a new media center/library.
Capital Investment Plan FY2012‐2016
City of Somerville, Massachusetts

The original cost estimate for the reconstruction was $33,185,258. The funding plan
included: $15,237,996 in MSBA School Construction Reimbursement (State);
$10,023,433 in Insurance Proceeds (City); $8,000,000 in General Obligation Bonds
(City).
The difficulty of renovating a school as opposed to new construction altered original
cost estimates and construction bids came in at $8.1 million above budget. An
intensive value‐engineering analysis was conducted to reduce cost without reducing
scope. Those efforts resulted in reducing the cost of the project by $3 million. The
revised cost estimate for the project is $38,309,249.
The revised funding plan will require the City to borrow an additional $5 million for
a total of $13 million to ensure timely completion of the project by September 2013.
The new funding plan is as follows: $15,237,996 in MSBA School Construction
Reimbursement (state); $10,023,433 in Insurance Proceeds (City); $13,000,000 in
General Obligation Bonds (City).
Original debt service projections assumed the issuance of an $8 million, 30 year,
General Obligation Bond, with level principal payments. The city has calculated the
additional debt service required to issue a $13 million, 30 year, General Obligation
Bond at level principal payments to be $270,445 annually. Steps will be taken to
mitigate the additional debt service and its impact on the General Fund in the
following ways:
• Continue efforts to consolidate school and city programs to reduce rental
payments
• Bid out an ESCO contract to produce energy savings at the new school
• Work with MSBA to examine and tap into creative financing options
• Work with NSTAR to secure energy rebates
• Apply for PARC Grants
All of the debt service assumptions assume mitigation of $270,445 in debt service
payments on an annual basis.

Budget by General Fund Debt Service. Detailed descriptions can be found in the

Assembly Square Stabilization Fund Supported Debt Service
The Assembly Square Stabilization Fund is a specific stabilization fund to provide
funding for the construction and renovation of parks throughout the City. The
Stabilization Fund is a source of debt service for the parks projects. In prior fiscal
years, the Assembly Square Stabilization Fund has funded debt service for the
following projects: Hodgkins Park, Albion Park, Grimmons Park, and Community
Path Design and Improvement.
The source of the funds is a development agreement with Federal Realty Investment
Trust (FRIT), the developer of Assembly Square. The balance of the Assembly
Square Stabilization Fund as of June 30, 2011 was $3,449,660.

Veterans Memorial Ice Rink Enterprise Fund Supported Debt Service
The City assumed operational control of the DCR Veterans Memorial Ice Rink on
Somerville Avenue in 2010. It became evident early on that the Veterans Memorial
Ice Rink did not currently meet the community demand for: ice time for existing
hockey leagues; women’s adult leagues; training space for the City’s first ever girls
hockey program; special needs; and public skating hours. In the interest of
expanding year‐round recreational space for Somerville youths and residents, the
City has embarked on the construction of a new, outdoor skating rink situated
adjacent to the Veterans Memorial Ice Rink. Cost of construction for the new ice rink
will be $3,303,664. The funding plan for the new Ice Skating Rink is $2,435,355 in

General Obligation Bonds and $868,309 in Capital Stabilization Funds. Debt Service
for the new construction will be paid from program revenues from the Enterprise

Enterprise Fund.

can also utilize retained earnings for future capital projects, subject to appropriation
by the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen.
FY2011 Debt Service totaled $1,856,302 in the Water Department and $542,565 in
the Sewer Department. Debt Service is well below the 20% ratio to Operating
Revenues. Total Operating Revenues in FY2011 were $28,838,065. The

Capital Stabilization Fund
“Pay‐as‐you‐go” capital financing occurs when cash rather than some form of debt is
used to fund all or a portion of a capital project. Pay‐as‐you‐go financing allows the
local government to avoid the debt markets, avoid interest and other debt issuance
expenses, and expedite the purchase of less expensive or recurring capital assets.
Pay‐as‐you‐go financing helps preserve flexibility in future operating budgets and
helps preserve the City’s financial condition. The pay‐as‐you‐go fund in Somerville
is the Capital Stabilization Fund.
“Free Cash” is annually appropriated to the Capital Stabilization Fund; the Fund may
also receive money from external sources. The Administration appropriated an
additional $1,000,000 in Free cash to the Capital Stabilization Fund for FY2012.
This appropriation is higher than the $850,000 appropriated to the Capital
Stabilization Fund in FY2011. The $1,000,000 appropriation along with the current
fund balance in the Capital Stabilization fund leaves $1,878,026 available for
funding pay‐as‐you‐go projects. Additionally, the City expects to receive another

the Capital Stabilization Fund. The following projects will be funded out of monies

State and Federal Funds or Grants
Chapter 90 Highway Funds
Chapter 90 Highway Funds are state funds derived from periodic transportation
bond authorizations and apportioned to communities for highway and street
projects based on a formula taking into consideration local road mileage, local
employment levels, and population estimates. Local highway projects are approved
in advance by the State, then after the submission of certified expenditure reports to
the Mass Highway Department, communities receive cost reimbursements to the
limit of the grant. The amount of the grant changes each year. In FY2012, the City
will receive $1,119,718 in Ch. 90 Funds. Below is a list of streets to be resurfaced
using Ch. 90 Funds in FY2012.

Community Development Block Grants
The Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) Entitlement Program is one of
the more significant federal grant programs that make money available for local
Capital Investment Plan FY2012‐2016
City of Somerville, Massachusetts
20
government infrastructure and capital projects. Several projects have a portion of
their funding provided by CDBG funds. Please see the project descriptions for
further details. A full description of CDBG funded projects can be found in the CDBG
“One Year Action Plan” and the OSPCD Consolidated Plan 2008‐2013. The City also
intends to utilize the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program of the CDBG Program to
assist in the acquisition of 161 Broadway, which will lead to the construction of a
mixed use building that includes a senior center, police substation, retail space and
housing. Section 108 is a loan guarantee provision of the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program that provides communities with a source of financing
for economic development, housing rehabilitation, public facilities, and large scale
physical development projects.
District Increment Financing Supported Debt Service
There are three large infrastructure projects under development in the Assembly
Square Financing District. These infrastructure projects, the extension of Assembly
Square Drive, installation of a storm water conduit, and construction of internal
roadways in Assembly Square, will allow for the further development of Assembly
Square. These infrastructure improvements will be paid for by a bond that is
supported by the incremental increase in property taxes due to the newly developed
property. The city expects to issue $15 million in tax increment‐supported bonds in
February or March 2012, and other $10 million in 2014, if the developer reaches
certain thresholds.
FY2013‐2016 CAPITAL PROJECTS PLAN
The first year of the Capital Investment Program (FY2012) is the Capital Budget
scheduled for the City and provides information on the projects, which need the
approval of the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen. The remaining four years of the
program (FY2013‐FY2016) should be viewed as a Capital Plan for the City’s
leadership and is subject to change based upon the availability of funds.
In some cases, the Capital Investment Plan will identify an unfunded project that the
organization has identified as desirable but lacking a funding source. By identifying
these projects early on as priorities, financial planners are given the opportunity to
design funding scenarios around different levels of priority spending.
The City’s foreseeable future projects include a Vehicle/Equipment Replacement
Program for the Police Department, Fire Department, and Public Works
Department. Each year, the Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments purchase
replacement equipment and vehicles to maintain the fleet as it deteriorates. For
FY2012‐FY2016, the City anticipates spending $750,000 per year on DPW vehicles
and equipment (i.e. pickup trucks, snow plows, street sweepers); approximately
$400,000 per year to replace the Police fleet (i.e. cruisers, detective vehicles); and a
varying amount on Fire Apparatus. Given the relatively short life‐cycle for Police
Capital Investment Plan FY2012‐2016
City of Somerville, Massachusetts
21
Vehicles, the Capital Stabilization Fund will be utilized for Police Vehicle purchases.
General Fund debt service will be used to purchase Fire and DPW Equipment.
Since the scope of the capital plan is limited to affordability, the City continues to
have a significant capital need. The core of any Capital Investment Program should
be the maintenance/repair of and improvements to a community’s infrastructure
and that is the case with this CIP which continues to address on‐going infrastructure
improvements including streets, sidewalks, parks/playgrounds, and water sewer
systems. Over the years, many building improvement projects were deferred due to
budgetary issues. As many of the City’s buildings are very old, the City is undergoing
a comprehensive planning process to determine (1) which buildings the city needs
and will continue to maintain; and (2) what improvements and renovations each of
those buildings needs to continue to be of service. The study will determine which
projects are of the highest priority, the financial investment needed, and a potential
schedule for improvements. The FY2012‐FY2016 Capital Investment Plan provides
space for additional general fund debt service that may be added to the later years
of the Plan to accommodate needed building renovations.
The extension of the Green Line from Lechmere Station through Somerville and the
placement of an Orange Line Station at Assembly Square have the potential to
transform Somerville in the next few years, providing improved transportation
connections, open space, community services, and facilitating commercial
development that expands the City’s tax base. The FY2012‐2016 Capital Investment
Plan commits $25 million in public investment to infrastructure at Assembly Square
through the mechanism of the DIF. To unleash the development potential in Union
Square, additional public investment in infrastructure will be required as it is
acknowledged that transportation improvements at Union Square will be the
linchpin to capitalize on the new transit station and promote significant private
investment. As part of the plan to revitalize Union Square, the City is seeking a grant
from the Massachusetts Public Library Construction Program to fund 60% of the
cost of a new Public Library in Union Square. Total cost of new construction is
estimated to be $32,681,095. The City is currently investigating a number of funding
options for the Library and to promote the development of Union Square including
grants, public‐private partnerships, additional debt service, I‐Cubed, and District
Incremental Financing.

Purchase of decorative benches and trash barrels
to be installed throughout the city. The street
furniture is made to withstand the elements, be
easily cleanable (i.e. graffiti, gum), and require
very little maintenance.
These elegant but durable benches and barrels will
improve the aesthetics of the city's streetscape and
encourage pedestrian traffic. They will also
decrease the amount of litter found on city streets.
There will be additional barrels to dispose of, but
they can be absorbed with existing personnel

Construct a covered ice rink next to the existing
Veteran's Memorial Ice Rink to accommodate
additional ice‐related programs.
By providing additional recreational opportunities,
the ice rink will encourage exercise, reduce
childhood obesity and develop a sense of
teamwork within Somerville youth. Ongoing
operational costs will be off set by user fees.
Service fees for the rinks will cover all operating
costs.

Remodel and construct new locker rooms at the
ice rink. The facility's current locker rooms are
badly configured and inadequate. This project will
develop new locker rooms consistent with the
needs of the rink.
Currently the High School Hockey team's locker
room does not have shower facilities. Players are
forced to shower at one end of the building and
dress in another.
The new locker rooms will require the same
maintenance as the existing locker rooms.

An estimate on the additional operating costs of an
ice rink can be better determined after the rink has
been designed.
This project will fund the design and construction
to replace the natural field at Lincoln Park with a
synthetic turf and develop an outdoor skating rink.
The two projects will be combined into one sports
complex.
The existing field has poor drainage and cannot
maintain adequate grass coverage for the current
level of use. The new ice rink will provide
additional recreational opportunities to Somerville
youth and adults.

A Hubway Bike Share System is a new form of public transportation. Bicycles are available to
members to extend the reach of public transit in the city, and can be picked up and dropped off
at any station in the network. People can buy annual subscriptions or shorter‐term passes. By
commiting at this time, the City will be able to access funds available through MAPC/MBTA to
help pay for the stations.
This project represents a major new investment in non‐motorized transportation options within
the city. The capital funding allows the system to be operational for 3 years. At the end of the 3
years, the City will own the equipment (bicycles and station kiosks), and will be covering or
exceeding on‐going operation fees through revenue‐sharing with the operator.
There is an estimated yearly operational cost of $12,839 per station or $77,034. It is likely that
CDBG funds can support the operations.

dog area. Park amenities will include secure areas
in which to bring a dog as well as dog supplies to
clean up after a dog and other pet‐friendly features.
Additional areas are needed for residents to
unleash and let their dogs run. There is a high

community green space with three slightly terraced
levels with a lawn, tree canopy, native shrubs and
groundcover plantings emphasizing the native New
England landscape and encouraging bird habitats.
There will also be an ADA accessible boardwalk

sight.

such is not well utilized.

The existing Harris Park, near I‐93, is in a poor
location for a park and is under‐utilized. This
project would provide design work for a new park
on vacant parcels near the current park site. This
would allow the city to market the current park to a
developer and, in exchange for the park property,
the developer would construct the new park on the
vacant parcels.
The end result will be improved park space and
additional tax revenue for the City.
The new park will require no more maintenance
than the existing park.

business climate in East Somerville revitalizing an
under‐utilized neighborhood in the City. ADA
amenities and pedestrian improvements will be
included as well.
Lower Broadway will continue to be maintained by

Every year the State provides Ch. 90 Funds for maintaining
the City's streets. The City will receive $1,119,718 in Ch. 90
funds in FY2012. The roads to be resurfaced are listed
below. Additionally, $40,000 is set aside for engineering
and design to be used as needed with these resurfacing
projects.
The streets to be resurfaced were ranked and prioritized
by the Superintendent of Highways and the DPW
Commissioner
The newly resurfaced streets will decrease the operational
costs of the City by decreasing the number of potholes that
will need to be repaired as well as reduce the amount of
broken street sweeping and snow plow equipment.

The breathing air compressor is used to refill self‐
contained breathing air apparatuses used by the
firefighters. The cost and availability of parts are
limiting factors in the continued use of this
equipment.
The current system is 23‐years old and has
experienced several breakdowns per year over the
past few years. The compressor must function
properly to quickly return fire companies to full
service after an incident.
As the current compressor needs frequent repairs,
the new compressor will save on costs for parts
and labor.

The extension of Assembly Square Drive,
installation of a storm water conduit, and
construction of internal roadways in Assembly
Square. The city would pay back the bonds plus
interest using money from property tax increases
within the district that would result from
construction of Blocks 1, 3, and 4 by FRIT.
These infrastructure improvements will allow for
the continued development of Assembly Square.
The additional operational costs will be covered by
the increased property tax from the area.

As many of the current DPW vehicles are
consistently breaking down, the new vehicles will
save approximately $75,000‐$100,000 annually.
The Department of Public Works has an aging fleet
that, even though well maintained, has had
significant breakdowns. This will provide for the
purchase of new vehicles for the department as
prioritized by the DPW Commissioner.
The City strives to appropriate $750,000 each year
for continued replacement and renewal of the DPW
vehicle fleet. This will meet that obligation.
