MAYOR’S MESSAGE Fellow Residents, Somerville’s FY14-18 Capital Plan has been structured to sustain and enhance our city’s vital infrastructure, as well as ensure the success of our community-driven 20-year comprehensive plan, SomerVision. First codified in 2010, the goals of SomerVision have been continually reaffirmed by the community at large, and we take our commitment seriously to create and achieve its goals by 2020 including:  30,000 New Jobs  125 New Acres of Publicly-Accessible Open Space  6,000 New Housing Units - 1,200 Permanently Afford- able  50% of New Trips via Transit, Bike, or Walking  85% of New Development in Transformative Areas In other words, make Somerville a great place to live, work, play and raise a family. It is these goals that inform all of our planning efforts – in- cluding this one. To attract new businesses and develop- ment we must have functioning, well-maintained infra- structure. SomerVision can only succeed if the City’s streets, sidewalks, squares and sewer system are kept in excellent shape. In the pages of this plan, you will see an outline of how we propose to preserve and enhance the quality of our public property. A careful review of related data and community needs guides how we prioritize these needs. Each desig- nated need strategically builds upon previous investments to achieve our long-range goals of strengthening both our community and our economy. This prudent, forward- looking strategy has been affirmed by the City’s designa- tion with its highest ever Standard & Poor’s bond rating of AA+ and its highest ever Moody’s credit rating of Aa2, which both agencies cited as products of the City’s strong financial practices and budget management, low overall debt, strong capacity to meet its financial commitments, and a robust, growing economy. We pledge our continued commitment to leveraging conservative fiscal management that makes desired community investments possible. We pledge to continue making Somerville a great place to live, work, play and raise a family. Thank you for your support. Mayor Curtatone

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 a sound long-term investment in infrastructure and equipment.” – from ICMA’s Capital Budgeting: A Guide for Local Governments

Page | 10 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 CAPITAL PLAN OVERVIEW The City of Somerville’s $183.6 million five-year Capital Investment Plan was created with the underly- ing themes of upgrading and modernizing the City’s aging infrastructure and facilities, expanding the City’s economic base, and improving the quality of life for our residents in the city’s diverse neighbor- hoods. A crucial aspect of the City’s operations, from providing services to its residents and businesses to equipping employees to effectively perform their jobs, requires the existence and maintenance of cer- tain basic physical assets. These assets include streets, water mains, parks, buildings, large equipment and technology. They must be purchased, maintained, and replaced on a timely basis or their usefulness in providing public services will diminish. The City’s five-year Capital investment Plan and the annual Capital Budget are developed to ensure adequate capital investment in the City’s assets. The Capital Investment Plan is comprised of two parts: the FY14 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 (CIP) identifies capital project and acquisition needs; provides cost or ex- penditure estimates for those needs; identifies probable sources of financing; evaluates, prioritizes, and schedules projects and acquisitions; and forecasts the likely impact of projects and acquisitions on the operating budget. By detailing the major spending requirements, policymakers are given the opportuni- ty to develop financing plans, coordinate City needs, and plan for future risks and needs. The Capital In- vestment Plan reflects the best judgment of city officials at the time. Changing capital priorities, fiscal constraints, and additional needs are likely to become apparent before the program is completed. Pro- jects planned for the “out” years may be dropped if fiscal conditions change or projected funding streams do not materialize. Thus, the Capital Investment plan is not a legally binding document and is considered a “plan” and is not “cast in stone.” It is flexible and can be changed when the situation re- quires. WHAT IS A CAPITAL PROJECT? A Capital Improvement Project is defined as a major, non-recurring expenditure that generally meets all of the following criteria: 1. Massachusetts General Law Chapter 44, Sections 7 & 8, permit the City to issue bonds to finance the expenditure; 2. The expenditure is a facility, object, or asset costing more than $50,000; 3. The expenditure will have a useful life of 10 years or more for infrastructure, buildings, and parks and a useful life of five years or more for vehicles and equipment

Page 11 of 131

Page | 11 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Among the items properly classified as capital improvements are: A. Any acquisition of land for a public purpose; B. New public buildings or additions to existing buildings, including land acquisition costs and equipment needed to furnish the new building or addition for the first time; C. Major alternations, renovations, or improvements to existing buildings, which extend the useful life of the existing buildings by ten (10) years; D. Land acquisition and/or improvement, unrelated to a public building, but necessary for conservation or park and recreation purposes; E. Major equipment acquisition, replacement or refurbishment, with a cost of at least $50,000, and a useful life of at least five (5) years; F. New construction or major improvements to City physical infrastructure, including streets, sidewalks, storm water drains, the water distribution system, and the sanitary sewer system. Infrastructure improvements must extend the useful life of the infrastruc- ture by at least ten (10) years; G. Energy conservation and alternative energy improvements to public buildings or facilities owned by the City; H. Traffic signal, public lighting, and police and fire communication systems; I. Purchase and installation of computer hardware and integrated financial management and accounting systems; J. Asbestos removal from public buildings; K. A feasibility study, engineering, or design services which are ancillary to a future capital improvement. The costs of engineering, architecture, and landscaping studies are not physical improvements, but when they are done in order to build a capital facility project, they too are contained in a CIP and can be funded by bond financing. BENEFITS OF A CAPITAL PLAN The development of a Capital Improvement Plan provides many benefits for a municipality. Benefits include: 1. A CIP creates orderly and systematic planning for the replacement and rehabilitation of major equipment, facilities, and infrastructure thereby saving money and ensuring consistent and qual- ity services over time. 2. An organized CIP provides for a more effective evaluation of alternatives and solutions rather than a crisis decision mode.

Page | 12 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 3. A CIP provides for funding of projects on a priority basis. 4. A CIP enhances the community’s credit rating, control of its tax rate, and avoids sudden changes in its debt service requirements. 5. A CIP increases opportunities for obtaining federal and state aid. 6. A CIP facilitates coordination between capital needs and the operating budgets. 7. A CIP relates public facilities to the City’s strategic plan or public and private development and redevelopment policies and plans. 8. A CIP keeps the public informed. CAPITAL PLANNING PROCESS The Capital Investment Plan is prepared from a city-wide perspective. There is no assumption of a budg- et quota for individual departments. The initial step of all city departments is to identify a need for a capital project. This could include infor- mation from replacement plans (vehicles, equipment); formalized plans already in place such as CDBG One-Year Action Plans, Facility master or Open Space Plans; and citizen input processes. Department Heads inventory buildings, equipment, roads, and utilities to document a need for renewal, replacement, expansion, or retirement of all physical assets. The Finance Department prepares a long-term financial forecast. This forecast analyzes the City’s capac- ity to afford major new expenditures. The forecast examines recent and anticipated trends in revenue, expenditures, debt, and unfunded liabilities. The analysis also reviews the amount of unspent funds available from completed and discontinued projects. This comprehensive analysis permits scheduling of funding sources to balance debt service and operating expenditures; determine available debt capaci- ty and acceptable debt service levels; and maximize intergovernmental aid for capital expenditures. The City has also adopted Capital Investment Financing Policies as a guide for decision-making. These include benchmarks for General Fund Debt Service, Water & Sewer Enterprise Debt Service, Use of “Free Cash”, and minimum Stabilization Fund Balances. These Financing Policies have been presented to the major bond rating agencies. Formalized project requests include cost estimates, descriptions of the proposed scope of work, useful life statements, and project justifications related to the primary evaluation criteria. The charge of the Capital Investment Plan Steering Committee is to review submitted capital project re- quests and to recommend and prioritize based on established evaluation scoring criteria. The CIP Steer- ing Committee recommends to the Mayor who makes the final decisions. While most departmental requests have merit, the City’s projected financing resources fall short of ac-

Page 13 of 131

Page | 13 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 commodating 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 CIP Steering Commit- tee determines whether or not the request will fulfill one of the following goals of the Mayor: 1. [Quality of Life] Celebrate Somerville as an 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 respons- es 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 imple- menting energy efficiency. 10. [Innovative and Responsive Workforce] Promote and innovative and responsive workplace that solves problems, achieves goals and delivers quality services to citizens. PROJECT EVALUATION If the project meets one of the Mayor’s goals, the city uses a number of other criteria for evaluation. Ma- jor focal points of evaluation are: A. Protection of the health and safety of citizens; B. 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; C. Requirement of State or Federal Law/regulation; D. Improvement of Infrastructure; E. Improvement in the efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery;

Page 14 of 131

Page | 14 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 The CIP Steering Committee takes each project through stages of evaluation by reviewing the project in- formation provided with the requesting department head or staff: 1. Needs assessment; 2. Review of project against policies and evaluation strategies; 3. Consider the feasibility of proposed project’s to include project’s necessity, priority, and location; 4. Review in-depth cost estimation and funding capacity analysis The CIP Committee prioritizes projects based on evaluation scoring and makes recommendations both in funding and prioritization. In this step, the proposed projects are ranked in priority as objectively as possible. Projects are evaluated according to established criteria and the ratings are translated into ob- jective numerical weights. Projects are classified into categories and each project is evaluated in relation to other projects to determine their relative importance. The CIP committee’s completed report is submitted to the Mayor. The Mayor makes final selections and funding priorities and submits them to the Board of Aldermen for appropriation as part of the Capital Budget. The authorization and appropriation is for new projects to begin in the current or ensuing fiscal year. Out-year projects are scheduled for succeeding years as part of the Capital Investment Plan and may be incorporated into a later year Capital Budget. The Capital Budget represents the funding for the first year of that Plan each year. Projects in the first year of the Plan generally represent the city’s most im- mediate investment priorities. Funding for the first year of the Plan is submitted to the Board of Alder- men for appropriation. Each item is considered separately in accordance with the Mass. General Laws. The Project Description portion of the Capital Improvement Program document organizes individual da- ta sheets for each project by the Mayor’s City-wide goals. Individual project data sheets include: 1. Project titles; 2. Description & Justification: Information about the purpose and scope of the project and expla- nation of why the project is needed; 3. 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 in- curred once a project is complete. These include: additional staffing, utilities, debt service pay- ments, etc. The CIP addresses this issue by including anticipated impacts on the operating budget in each project data sheet;

Project Costs/Source of Funds: Details of project expenditures and sources of funding, includ- ing prior years funding and sources for the project. SOURCES OF FUNDING The City carefully examines all potential funding sources for the City’s capital investment needs. The potential sources of funding for capital investment projects include: Available Funds (Free Cash) The City regularly appropriates General Fund “Free Cash” to finance short-term, small capital invest- ment projects in their entirety. Funds may be appropriated directly from the General Fund Tax Levy to the Operating Budget. 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 opera- tion of the Ice Skating Rinks and the Dilboy Field may be used to finance capital projects for these re- spective entities. Enterprise Fund Retained Earnings The accumulated earnings of an Enterprise fund may be used to fund capital improvements. The earn- ings flow to an Equity Account known as “Retained Earnings” and are certified annually by the State De- partment 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 ex- tended 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 pro- jects with debt service. Debt Service can be appropriated under the General Fund Tax Levy, from Enter- prise 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 financ- ing. Appropriations may be made from a Stabilization Fund by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Alder- men 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 Pro- jects) and the Park Stabilization Fund

Page 16 of 131

Page | 16 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 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 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 develop- ment 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 pro- gram. These include acquiring land, constructing or reconstructing improvements (such as buildings, roads, schools and parks), incurring indebtedness and pledging tax increments and other project reve- nues for repayment of these debts. The City is using DIF as a financing tool for infrastructure develop- ment 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 Com- munity 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. Proposition 2 ½ Debt or Capital Outlay Exclusion Proposition 2 ½ allows a community to raise funds for certain purposes above the amount of its levy limit or levy ceiling. A community can assess taxes in excess of its levy limit or levy ceiling for the pay- ment of certain capital projects and for the payment of specified debt service costs. The additional amount for the payment of debt service is added to the levy limit or levy ceiling for the life of the debt only. The additional amount for the payment of the capital project cost is added to the levy limit or levy ceiling only for the year in which the project is being undertaken. Both exclusions require voter approv- al.

Page | 17 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 State Infrastructure Development Programs The Business Improvement Districts (BID), District Improvement Financing (DIF), Infrastructure In- vestment Incentive Program (I-CUBED) and the Local Infrastructure Development Program are four programs available to all cities and towns of the state that provide communities and developers with an alternative set of tools in order to establish a funding mechanism to support their economic develop- ment plans. In summary, BID, DIF, I-CUBED and the Local Infrastructure Development Program are pro- grams designed to promote new investment in targeted areas where infrastructure, community assets, and transit opportunities are operational. Community Preservation Act Adopted by the Somerville electorate in November 2012, the Community Preservation Act allows a 1.5% surcharge on net property taxes to fund the acquisition, creation, preservation, and support for affordable housing, historic preservation, open space, and outdoor recreation purposes. Distributions from the Commonwealth’s Community Preservation Trust Fund match total local funding on an annual basis, including surcharge revenue and dedicated additional municipal revenue. CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN FINANCING POLICIES The City of Somerville has adopted several Capital Investment Financing Policies as a guide for decision- making. 1. 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 constrained to a maximum of six percent (6%) 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; however, it only examines the ability to pay for debt within a commu- nity's existing budget. 2. Water & Sewer Enterprise Funds Benchmark Water and Sewer Debt Service should not exceed twenty percent (20%) of water and sewer operating revenues. The Water and Sewer Capital Plan should attempt to invest in the City’s water and sewer system at a rate that does not place dramatic increases on the ratepayer. This benchmark allows for increased investment in the City’s Enterprises but in proportion to reve- nue increases. 3. Use of Free Cash Free Cash in excess of Goal for the Operating Budget should be used for non-recurring or emer- gency expenditures or appropriated to a Stabilization Fund for future capital projects and equip- ment purchases. The City will endeavor to apportion a minimum of 30% of its yearly free cash certification to the Capital Investment Plan.

Page 18 of 131

Page | 18 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 4. 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. 5. Sale of Assets Proceeds from the sale of surplus municipal property shall be dedicated to capital improvement financing. 6. 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 maintain the City’s Bond Rat- ing. CAPITAL FINANCING ASSUMPTIONS 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 6% or less of Gen- eral Fund Operating Expenditures. In measuring the benchmark and planning over the five year period of the Plan, the City will assume a Long-Term interest rate of 4.5% for long-term issues and a Short Term Borrowing Rate of 1.5%. 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.

Page | 20 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 FY14 CAPITAL BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The most immediate capital need for the City is the reconstruction of the storm-damaged Somerville High School. The High School Auditorium and cafeteria have been unusable since October 2012. The City expects that the insurance proceeds will cover much of the cost of reconstruction; however, the City will request Bond Authorization for the full $2.6 million reconstruction estimate. Insurance proceeds when received will be appropriated to reduce debt service costs for this project. The City has also prioritized Street & Sidewalk Reconstruction and ADA improvements in the FY14 Capital Budget. In the past the City has relied primarily on Chapter 90 Highway funds to pay for street improvements, but the Chapter 90 funds are insufficient to meet our needs. In 2013, the engineering consulting firm Fay, Spofford & Thorndike (FST) identified a $46.6 million backlog in street repairs and a $75.1 million backlog in sidewalk repairs. Another critical capital need is the Union Square Streetscape & Utility Improvement project begin- ning in 2014. In anticipation of the Green Line Extension to Union Square and redevelopment of major parcels within the square, the City must begin necessary upgrades to the infrastructure and utilities in this area. The Union Square Revitalization Plan has proposed public realm, transportation, and utility improvements for area in its entirety, both in the immediate term and over a longer period, as well. In July of 2013, the City of Somerville entered into a contract with Parsons Brinckerhoff to evaluate existing transportation analyses and to recommend a design for roadway and utility improvements in and around Highland Ave Fire Station Engineering - Brick Work Debt Service Capital Projects $120,000 Decorative Recycling and Trash Barrels Cap.

Page | 21 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Union Square as part of a phased implementation plan. These engineering plans will be to the level of a MassDOT 25% design submission. The FY14 Capital Budget includes an update to the Assembly Square Urban Renewal Plan. There has not been a major plan change to the Assembly Square Urban Renewal Plan since it was adopted in 2002. That plan was based upon a number of assumptions, the most important of which was the expectation that IKEA would be constructing a 400,000 square foot retail facility along the waterfront. A major plan change would allow us to begin to look at individual parcels and buildings within the remaining 73 acres of the site not being developed by FRIT and examine what the highest and best uses of those properties might include. It would consider whether some of those uses, including the long vacant Circuit City build- ing, the shuttered movie theatre, existing office building, smaller industrial and commercial operators, and other types of operations truly represent the highest and best uses within the urban renewal area and with them, the full economic development potential to the City. The City intends to undertake a LED Conversion of City Streetlights in FY14. SomerStat estimates sig- nificant annual savings both on the maintenance/replacement and through a rebate from NSTAR. There are other advantages of LED lights as well: they emit a more efficient light which has been shown to in- crease visibility, and they last much longer than high-pressure sodium lights. This project should pay for itself within a few short years, after which the savings can be used for other important projects. FY14 CAPITAL BUDGET FINANCING 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 $9,656,552.58 at June 30, 2013. This constituted a ratio of 5.33% General Fund Debt Service Expenditures to General Fund Expenditures. The Projected General Fund Debt Service at June 30, 2013 before adding on projects from the FY2014- FY2018 Capital Investment Plan is as follows: Fiscal Year Projected Debt Service Projected Debt Service to Gen- eral Fund Expenditure Ratio 2014 $9,390,217 4.81% 2015 $10,480,954 5.14% 2016 $9,349,159 4.39% 2017 $9,216,392 4.14% 2018 $7,338,154 3.15%

Page | 22 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Parks Stabilization Fund Supported Debt Service The Park Stabilization Fund provides funding for the construction and renovation of parks throughout the City. The Park Stabilization Fund is a source of debt service for the parks projects. In prior fiscal years, the Park 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 Park Stabilization Fund as of June 30, 2013 was $2,760,877.99. Many of the City’s Parks Projects are funded from multiple sources including Community Development Block Grants, PARC Grants, and the Assembly Square Stabilization Fund. The City intends to add one park project – Kenney Park – to be funded partially by the Assembly Square Stabilization in FY2014. Below are the debt service obligations for the Park Stabilization fund before and after the FY2014 pro- ject is included. It is expected that resources in the Park Stabilization Fund will be sufficient to cover debt service for the parks projects approved through FY2021. At that point, General Fund Debt Service will pick up the remaining principal and interest obligations. 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 com- munity demand for iice 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 expand- ing year-round recreational space for Somerville youths and residents, the City constructed a new skat- ing rink situated adjacent to the Veterans Memorial Ice Rink, the Founders Memorial Skating Rink. Cost of construction for the Founders Memorial Skating Rink was $3,577,877. The funding plan for the con- struction of the new Ice Skating Rink consisted of $2,541,955 in General Obligation Bonds and $1,035,922 in Capital Stabilization Funds. Debt Service for the new construction will be paid from pro- gram revenues from the Enterprise Fund. Additionally, $202,901 in General Obligation Bonds were is- sued to make necessary repairs to the existing Veterans’ Rink. Fiscal Year Projected Park Debt Service (Excluding FY14 Project) Projected Park Debt Service (Including FY14 Project) 2014 $319,333 $319,333 2015 $328,613 $333,613 2016 $320,493 $325,493 2017 $327,373 $357,373 2018 $328,173 $358,173

Page | 23 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Water-Sewer Enterprise Fund Supported Debt Service Debt Service is annually budgeted in each of the Enterprise Funds for Sewer Construction & Reconstruc- tion, Water Main Renovation and Repair, and capital equipment purchases such as Water Meters. The Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds can also utilize retained earnings for future capital projects, subject to appropriation by the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen. FY2013 Debt Service totaled $1,840,311 in the Water Department and $675,766 in the Sewer Depart- ment. Debt Service is well below the 20% ratio to Operating Revenues. Total Operating Revenues in FY2013 were $28,857,934. The project Water/Sewer Enterprise Fund Debt Service Schedule shown be- low is before adding on projects identified in the FY2014-FY2018 Capital Investment Plan: 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 mar- kets, 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 $1,060,500 in free cash to the Capital Stabiliza- tion Fund for FY2014. This appropriation along with the current fund balance in the Capital Stabiliza- tion fund is available for funding pay-as-you-go projects. The following projects are recommended for funding from the Capital Stabilization Fund in FY2014.

Page | 24 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 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 consid- eration 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 FY2014, the City will receive $1,130,718 in Ch. 90 Funds. FY14 CAPITAL STABILIZATION FUND PROJECTS Item Dept.

Page | 25 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 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 government infrastructure and capital pro- jects. The City has identified three projects in the FY14 Capital Budget for which a portion of the project funding could be provided by CDBG funds. The City will work to identify additional FY14 Capital Pro- jects that may be CDBG eligible to leverage more federal funds and reduce the reliance on borrowing. A full description of CDBG funded projects can be found in the CDBG “One Year Action Plan” and the OSPCD 5-year Consolidated Plan 2013-2017. District Increment Financing Supported Debt Service There are three large infrastructure projects under development in the Assembly Square Financing Dis- trict. These infrastructure projects, the extension of Assembly Square Drive, installation of a storm wa- ter conduit, and construction of internal roadways in Assembly Square, will allow for the further devel- opment of Assembly Square. These infrastructure improvements will be paid for by a bond that is sup- ported by the incremental increase in property taxes due to the newly developed property. The city is- sued $15.75 million in tax increment-supported bonds in May 2012, and expects to issue other $10 mil- lion in the Spring/Summer of 2014.

Page | 26 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 FY2015-2018 CAPITAL PROJECTS PLAN The Capital Investment Plan attempts to assess the capital needs for all areas based on the vision em- bodied in the SomerVision 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan, produced by the community for the com- munity, tempered by fiscal realities into a strategic approach. Achieving SomerVision’s goals will require a substantial investment in public infrastructure. Somerville has made a generation’s worth of improvements in only the last few years to the city’s transportation and utility infrastructure, including completed projects on Somerville Avenue, Washington Street and in Magoun Square, and projects underway in Assembly Square, on Broadway in East Somerville and on Beacon Street. Moving forward, the Green Line must be completed, the Community Path extended and sewer, sidewalk and roadway improvements must be funded and built. A modern infrastructure net- work is critical for making our neighborhoods safer, more accessible and more attractive, for our local economy to function well and is a prerequisite for future growth. In addition to physical infrastructure, investments are needed to both maintain our current buildings and construct new city facilities. Renovations to repair and modernize the current Public Safety Building would be both difficult and cost prohibit according to state agencies and independent consultants, and plans are underway to locate a potential site for a new Public Safety Building. The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners has approved a $18.1 million grant for a new Central Library that would cost an estimated $43 million to build. And the Massachusetts School Building Authority has invited the School Department into its eligibility period for Somerville High School, the first step in the application process for State funding for renovation or replacement of the 142-year-old school. The first year of the Capital Investment Plan (FY2014) is the Capital Budget for the City and provides information on the projects that require approval and appropriation by the Mayor and the Board of Al- dermen. The remaining four years of the plan (FY2015-FY2018) target the most compelling and widely acknowledged needs in the community 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 iden- tified as desirable but lacking a funding source. By identifying these projects early on as priorities, finan- cial planners are given the opportunity to design funding scenarios around different levels of priority spending. Somerville is currently at the Proposition 2 ½ Levy Limit. Coping with the financial constraints of the proposed capital improvements in future years requires the City to explore a variety of alternative methods of financing, beyond the traditional methods of capital financing associated with the municipal bond market. In addition to public funding from federal and state sources, the City has the proven exper- tise and capacity to assembly public-private partnership approaches to funding infrastructure, such as the District Improvement Financing (DIF) proposal for the Assembly Row Project in Assembly Square, allowing the Somerville Board of Aldermen to authorize $25.75 million in general obligation bonds to reimburse the developer for public infrastructure costs. The Somerville Redevelopment Authority (SRA)

Page | 27 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 is seeking a master developer partner for Union Square that would work jointly with the City towards site assembly, infrastructure improvements and entitlements. Large capital expenditures for infrastructure are often not supportable in a single budget year. Even in high growth municipalities, sufficient budget growth to support large jumps in expenditures is rare. Critical and necessary projects will add significant dollars to debt service in the Operating Budget. Meet- ing the challenge of financing these large capital expenditures with a long-term strategy may need to include consideration of a Proposition 2 ½ debt exclusion, which with voter approval allows municipali- ties to increase tax revenues for a limited period of time. A debt exclusion allows a municipality to annu- ally raise the amount of the annual debt service payment for a capital project, including principal and interest, until the debt is paid, while not increasing the levy limit or becoming part of the base for calcu- lating future years’ levy limits. By no means should a debt exclusion be considered a singular, long-term solution to our challenges but rather as one of several tools the municipality could consider in its fi- nancing plan. UNION SQUARE The City expects to identify a Master Developer to work closely with the City of Somerville and its pro- fessional consultants to provide coordination and support for major transportation and infrastructure improvements including: (1) improving the water distribution systems and reducing flooding issues; (2) improving access, flow and safety for all modes of transportation, including vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, MBTA bus service and the Green Line station; (3) maximizing the useable, central public open space in Union Square; and (4) creating a distinctive destination point for visitors to Union Square. The full cost of the major streetscape and utility improvements in the Union Square project is currently estimated at $53 million, spread over five years in this plan. The City will work to coordinate public and private resources to advance these needed improvements. Certified Retained Earnings in the Sewer and Water Enterprise Funds total approximately $6.6 million and $3.3 million dollars respectively. The Administration intends to seek the approval of the Board of Aldermen to appropriate a percentage of these Retained Earnings to newly created Water and Sewer Debt Stabilization Funds to mitigate the impact of utility improvement debt service payments for the Union Square Project. CITY BUILDING FACILITIES EVALUATION The City’s foreseeable future projects include a Consolidation Planning and Maintenance Program for Public Buildings. There are approximately 2.9 million square feet of city-owned buildings. Over the years, city building improvement projects were frequently deferred due to budgetary issues. Most of these buildings have aging heating, cooling and ventilation systems. Historically, maintenance for these buildings has also been underfunded, leading to a backlog of both preventive and reactive maintenance.

Page | 28 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 There has been no shortage of plans for the City’s building stock. Between 2003 and 2011 there were at least 5 studies, both internal and overseen by consultants. More recently, the Capital Planning, Somer- Stat, Finance, OSPCD, and School departments have met together to review these studies and update their recommendations to reflect current and future space needs. The Capital Planning department is evaluating the condition of these city buildings and will determine what improvements and renovations each of those buildings require to continue to be of service or to be sold. In particular the following buildings are being evaluated in terms of existing conditions, in addition to current and future uses: City Hall, Somerville High School, the Annex, Edgerly School, Cummings School, the Recreation Building, the DPW Building and DPW Yard, the Public Safety Building, offices currently located in the Tuft Admin- istration Building (TAB), and the Homans Building. No final determinations or cost estimates for these buildings are included in the FY14-FY18 CIP at this time. These issues are complicated by the fact that many unknowns still exist relative to the Public Safe- ty Building, Central Library and High School. Nonetheless, those who are involved with consolidation planning are optimistic that we will be able to solve the City’s space needs in a way that optimizes the use of its buildings. STATION AREA PLANNING SomerVision recognized the need for area planning around the MBTA Green Line Stations slated for lo- cation in Somerville. The plans for each area will focus on land use, urban design and transportation, with other topics to be determined by participants through the Somerville By Design process. The City of Somerville is currently negotiating a Memorandum of Agreement with the MBTA pertaining to the design and construction of both the Gilman Square and Lowell Street Station. When complete, this con- struction will require property acquisition, roadway realignment, and selective demolition to create new transit-oriented development parcels. The best way to accomplish this is through the creation of a defined urban renewal plan. A proposal to fund an urban renewal plan is contained in this document. In addition, funding for Roadway Improvements in Ball Square at the intersection of Broadway and Boston Avenue associated with the new MBTA Green Line Station is also included.

Page | 30 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Street and Sidewalk Repairs Project Description: Road maintenance, road reconstruc- tion, and sidewalk repair projects as prioritized by the Neighborhood Street Reconstruction Program. Justification: Making the City’s streets and sidewalks safe and accessible to everyone is a top priority. Given Somer- ville’s density, city streets and sidewalks are heavily uti- lized and thus require frequent maintenance. The City must continually invest in this infrastructure to ensure that all pedestrians, motorists, and cyclists can maneuver through the city safely and efficiently. As of 2012, the City’s backlog of street repair work totaled $46.6 million and its backlog of sidewalk repair work totaled $75.1 million. Operational Cost Impact: Newly reconstructed and re- surfaced streets and sidewalks cost less to maintain and therefore will decrease the operational cost of ongoing road and sidewalk maintenance.

Page | 31 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Decorative Recycling & Trash Barrels and Benches Project Description: Purchase decorative recycling and trash barrels and benches to be installed throughout the city. These items are built to withstand the elements, are easily cleanable (i.e. graffiti, gum), and require very little maintenance. Justification: These elegant but durable benches and barrels will improve the aesthetics of the city’s streetscapes, decrease litter on city streets, and encourage pedestrian traffic. There are currently 600 decorative trash barrels in our streets and parks; the City as- pires to accompany each with a recycling barrel. Operational Cost Impact: There will be additional recycling bar- rels to empty. DPW’s current sanitation personnel will absorb the additional work in FY14. More analysis will need to be done to determine at what point additional sanitation staff will be needed to empty the new barrels. Mayor’s Goal: 1.

Justification: Davis Square is one of the city’s busiest business districts and most traveled intersections for all modes of transportation. It is in need of traffic, pedestri- an and cycling infrastructure improvements to promote safety and flow and ADA improvements to ensure acces- sibility, as well as strategic streetscape updates and de- sign changes that will maximize the community benefits of its public space.

No determinations have been made on size or location. Justification: Recreational space for youth and teenagers is a key priority and offering a variety of uses in these spaces best serves our diverse population. There is no dedicated skateboard fa- cility in the City, which has led youth to use squares, benches, monuments or inappropriate playground space for their recreation. A skate- board park will provide sanctioned space and a more suitable and safer environment for out skateboarding community.

Page | 74 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Assembly Square Urban Renewal Plan Change Project Description: There has not been a major plan change to the Assembly Square Urban Renewal Plan since it was adopted in 2002. That plan was based upon a number of assumptions, the most im- portant of which was the expectation that IKEA would be constructing a 400,000 square foot retail facility along the waterfront. A major plan change would allow us to begin to look at individual parcels and buildings within the remaining 73 acres of the site not being developed by FRIT and examine what the highest and best uses of those properties might include. It would consider whether some of those us- es, including the long vacant Circuit City building, the shuttered movie theatre, existing office building, smaller industrial and commercial operators, and other types of operations truly represent the highest and best uses within the urban renewal area and with them, the full economic development potential to the City.

Page | 75 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Assembly Square Urban Renewal Plan Change (continued) Justification: A major plan change would also allow us to ask what infrastructure improvements might be required to accommodate new development as well as how to best fund these improvements outside the current DIF area, perhaps including, but not limited to I-Cube, a new DIF application, and other op- tions. A major plan change would allow an extension of the current plan beyond its current 2022 expira- tion and provide the predictability needed to encourage growth and development through the inevitable cycles of economic activity. This proposed major plan change will involve qualified professional consult- ants in the areas of planning and design, financial and economic analysis, infrastructure capacity analy- sis, engineering work, and appraisal services. Based on staff work that was done on other recent comparable plans, a preliminary budget estimate in- cludes: -Approximately $150,000 for land use planning; -Approximately $150,000 for engineering, including infrastructure, transportation and highway analysis; -Approximately $100,000 for appraisal and related work; -Approximately $100,000 for the required financial plan, public outreach, and community participation.

Page | 76 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Civic Center Block Acquisitions Project Description: The D-1 Civic Center Block is one of the integral elements of the Union Square Revitaliza- tion Plan (“the Plan”). As envisioned in the Plan, the D-1 Block offers the potential for the relocation of the pub- lic library, private commercial space, and structured parking to serve all of Union Square. The Somerville Redevelopment Authority (SRA) has issued a Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) for a Master Developer part- ner for the Union Square disposition parcels. Site as- sembly has been completed by the SRA for the D-2 Block as the location for the Union Square Green Line Station. Authorization to expend funds for the acquisi- tion of the D-1 parcels represents the next logical step in implementing the Plan. A portion of the $2,500,000 funding request reflects the current aggregate assessed value of the privately owned parcels (approximately $1.9 million). The balance of the request will be allocated toward required appraisal, re- location, and legal costs, consistent with our experience in assembling the D-2 Block.

Page | 77 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Civic Center Block Acquisitions (continued) Justification: The Civic Center Block is an integral part of the approved Union Square Revitalization Plan. In addition to providing a site for a new central public library and increased efficiency arising from the consolidation of municipal services, the Civic Center Block can be a catalyst for significant private investment and commercial development in the immediate area, consistent with the goals of the revitalization plan. The authorization of funding in FY2015, rather than the actual expenditure of funds, would allow us to effectively demonstrate the ability and the means by which the SRA could assemble the Civic Center Block. It is anticipated that funds would be expended between late FY2015 and FY2017. Operational Cost Impact: Though it is difficult to quantify at this time, there will be additional ex- penses associated with acquiring properties including securing, maintaining, and/or demolishing structures on the parcels.

Page | 78 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Winter Hill Neighborhood Plan Implementation Project Description: In 2009, a community visioning process in Winter Hill built consen- sus around a return to the walkable urbanism that characterized Central Broadway in the early 20th century. New zoning was adopted to encourage private investment along Broad- way, but the private market has been slow to respond. In 2014, the “Somerville by Design” neighborhood planning process will be launched to engage residents in specific physi- cal planning and urban design efforts, includ- ing streetscape and storefront improvements, infill development scenarios and new and ex- panded civic spaces. Funding will be used to design and engineer public realm improvements and support any property acquisition needed to implement the neighbor- hood plan.

Page | 79 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Winter Hill Neighborhood Plan Implementation (continued) Justification: The City of Somerville has invested significant effort to encourage the revitalization of the area along Broadway in Winter Hill. These efforts have included zoning reforms to encourage new pri- vate investment, reconstruction of Temple Street and a 2013 partnership with MIT to engage residents in planning for the future. Impediments to these revitalization efforts include recalcitrant property own- ers, absentee landlords, and a lack of ongoing maintenance and upkeep of visible properties. Based on past experiences with planning initiatives of similar size and scope, a preliminary cost esti- mate would include: -Approximately $65,000 for technical Services/Engineering -Approximately $65,000 for planning and related activities -Approximately $10,000 for legal services -Approximately $10,000 for program administration and other costs Operational Cost Impact: The plan development will not require any additional operating expendi- tures.

Page | 80 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Gilman Square Station Area Plan Implementation Project Description: Following a successful consensus building effort via the “Somerville by Design” process, the Gilman Square Station Area Plan has been published in its final form. The plan establishes a shared vision for returning Gilman Square to its roots as a walkable, neigh- borhood-scaled business district in order to lev- erage new Green Line service for maximum community benefit. Central to the plan’s imple- mentation is redesigning and rebuilding the dangerous, high-speed intersection of Medford Street, Pearl Street and Marshall Street into a public square that connects residents to the Green Line station, supports new pedestrian-oriented retail and service businesses, and adds civic space to the neighborhood. Funding will be used to design and engineer the new intersection and public plaza called for in the Sta- tion Area Plan and support any property acquisition needed to facilitate construction of the new inter- section and associated utilities.

Page | 81 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Gilman Square Station Area Plan Implementation (continued) Justification: The City of Somerville is currently negotiating a Memorandum of Agreement with the MBTA pertaining to the design and construction of both the Gilman Square and Lowell Street Station. When complete, this construction will require property acquisition and transfers, roadway realignment, and selective demolition to create a new public plaza and several transit-oriented development parcels framing the plaza. Based on past experiences with planning initiatives of similar size and scope, a preliminary cost estimate for these implementation activities would include: -Approximately $65,000 for technical Services/Engineering -Approximately $65,000 for planning and related activities -Approximately $10,000 for legal services -Approximately $10,000 for program administration and other costs Operational Cost Impact: The plan development will not require any additional operating expendi- tures.

DPW has identified approximately $5 million in vehi- cle needs; the City strives to appropriate $750,000 each year. Justification: DPW has an aging fleet that, though well maintained, experiences consistent and significant breakdowns. The upgrade will include, among others, the replacement of a 45- year-old leaf collection vacuum, a 20-year-old dump truck, a 20-year-old cement truck, a 17- year-old front-end loader, and a 20-year-old fork lift.

Justification: City Hall is an aging asset that is ex- pensive to maintain. The renovation plans de- scribed in this document are needed repairs and im- provements, but are only medium-term patchwork solutions. The City should evaluate the feasibility of moving City Hall to a new location in the future. Operational Cost Impact: The study will not re- quire any additional operating expenditures.

Page | 93 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Fuel Management System Project Description: Install a system that tracks the usage of fuel and meter levels (odometer, engine reports, etc.) of each city-owned vehicle. The system consists of a Fuel Manage- ment Unit, which controls access to fuel dispensers and col- lects information Vehicle Keys, a memory chip that is placed in each vehicle which allows access to the Fuel Management Unit, and Fuel Management Software that consolidates all of the information. Justification: Replacement of old equipment will allow for better management of gas usage, gas distribution, and moni- toring of maintenance trouble codes. The system will allow a department-based breakdown of fuel usage, analysis of indi- vidual vehicles (which could determine problem vehicles ear- lier), and will shorten the amount of time required for a mechanic to identify vehicle issues and repair problems.

Justification: With the demolition of the Waste Transfer Station, the City must haul its solid waste to Saugus. The DPW must therefore be more efficient in the hauling of solid waste. A larger truck can hold more solid waste than the existing trucks in the fleet and will reduce the total num- ber of trips to the transfer station in Sau- gus.

The budgeted amount is for 13-14 vehi- cles. Justification: The City would prefer to purchase several needed vehicles for various departments at one time to take advantage of economies of scale. The DPW Commissioner will determine the most fuel-efficient and cost-effective vehicles that will meet the specified needs of the departments.

Justification: The fully electric cargo van is ideal for hauling tools and equipment on the short trips to and from public buildings and schools that define the B&G workflow. Addi- tionally, the DEP is offering a $7,500 credit per electric vehicle, as well as covering up to $10,000 in electric charging stations. The charging stations will be installed at DPW and other public buildings. Operational Cost Impact: These vehicles will be under warranty for one year and will be maintained and repaired by existing staff mechanics in the DPW after the first year. There will be savings on gasoline, though some savings will be offset by an increase in electricity usage. Mayor’s Goal: 9.

Page | 99 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: IT Virtualization Project Project Description: Exponentially increase the effi- ciency of the City’s data storage through virtualization, which will consolidate over 20 servers and virtualize 100 desktops. This project will also consolidate the e- mail systems for City Departments, Somerville Police, and the Somerville Public Library. Justification: Virtualization provides a means to dy- namically allocate hardware resources when needed and essentially unbind software from hardware. It will make more efficient use of hardware and software re- sources while improving productivity for staff. By re- ducing the number of physical computers needed in our environment, it will significantly reduce software licensing costs and setup time and increase uptime, disaster recovery, and the life of a computer. Operational Cost Impact: The City currently has over 70 Servers and 400 user workstations which must be replaced every 3-5 years on average. That amounts to an average of $120,000 in costs annually. Virtualization would extend the life of a workstation to up to 10 years. Virtualization will also reduce electricity consumption and software costs. Mayor’s Goal: 8.

Page | 100 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: Combined Emergency Dispatch System Project Description: Purchase and installation of a consolidated Somerville Public Safety system to be used by both the Police and Fire Departments for dispatch and records management. Currently, the Somerville Police and Fire Departments use the same, but completely separate installations of the Queues Enforth Development, Inc. (QED) Acuity Computer Aided Dispatch System (CAD). The Police and Fire CAD systems do not communicate in any way with each other. In fact, with the exception of one single interface for 911 calls, there is no sharing of data or information between these systems. Justification: The City would experience immediate benefits from the consolidation of the QED comput- er aided dispatch system into a single, unified platform, including ensuring that data about an incident including address, description and past history at that address is shared between agencies; and provid- ing a system that supports the Police and Fire dispatchers on the same computer platform so that they are able to see, share and update information. Operational Cost Impact: Once upgraded, the City will save on the software licenses and server maintenance by operating on one system rather than two. Mayor’s Goal: 8.

Page | 114 City of Somerville, Massachusetts Capital Investment Plan FY2014-2018 Title: MUNIS Payroll and Human Resources Information Systems Project Description: Purchase and implementation of a new Human Resource Information System (HRIS) and Payroll System to improve staff efficiency, reduce costs, and improve internal customer service. The City is look- ing to implement a comprehensive HR system that will manage the full employee lifecycle efficiently. This system will empower employees to manage and access personal information including pay, benefits, and career path and time management. The Payroll module would bring uni- formity to the current process across City and School De- partments. In addition, this system will integrate much better with the City’s financial and auditing systems. Justification: The City lacks a comprehensive HRIS and payroll system, and personnel information is maintained in outdated legacy databases. An HRIS system will signifi- cantly reduce data entry and allow Personnel staff to focus on more strategic HR functions. Operational Cost Impact: An HRIS system will improve the efficiency of the Personnel, Payroll, and Fi- nance Departments by streamlining many functions. Mayor’s Goal: 10.

New Issue: Moody's assigns MIG 1 rating to Somerville's (MA) $23 million G.O. BANS Global Credit Research - 30 May 2013 Long-term Aa2 rating affirmed, affecting $80.8 million outstanding general obligation debt SOMERVILLE (CITY OF) MA Cities (including Towns, Villages and Townships) MA Moody's Rating ISSUE RATING General Obligation Bond Anticipation Notes, Series A MIG 1 Sale Amount $14,079,404 Expected Sale Date 06/06/13 Rating Description Note: Bond Anticipation General Obligation Bond Anticipation Notes, Series B MIG 1 Sale Amount $8,887,449 Expected Sale Date 06/06/13 Rating Description Note: Bond Anticipation Moody's Outlook NOO Opinion NEW YORK, May 30, 2013 --Moody's Investors Service has assigned a MIG 1 rating to the City of Somerville's (MA) $14.1 million Series A General Obligation Bond Anticipation Notes (dated June 28, 2013 and payable October 25, 2013) and $8.9 million Series B General Obligation Bond Anticipation Notes (dated June 28, 2013 and payable June 27, 2014). Moody's affirms the Aa2 long-term rating on approximately $80.8 million of outstanding general obligation debt. The Series A notes are being issued to provide short-term financing for construction of a municipal ice skating rink, school and municipal building renovations, and various other capital needs. The Series B notes are being issued to provide short-term financing for the Union Square revitalization plan, the purchase of a ladder truck, and other city capital needs. The notes are general obligations of the city, and are secured by the city's limited tax pledge as debt service has not been excluded from the levy limitations of Proposition 2 ½. SUMMARY RATINGS RATIONALE The MIG 1 rating incorporates the healthy long-term credit characteristics of the city and a history of strong market access. The long-term Aa2 rating reflects the city's sizeable tax base within the greater Boston (GO rated Aaa/stable outlook) economy and a stable financial position with healthy reserve levels. The rating also incorporates the city's socioeconomic profile which lags the commonwealth median, and an above average overall debt burden. STRENGTHS -- Conservative budgetary practices -- Strong reserve levels -- Sizable tax base

Page 121 of 131

-- Ongoing redevelopment efforts CHALLENGES -- Above average overall debt burden -- Sizeable long-term liabilities for pension and OPEB -- Socioeconomic indices trail the state median DETAILED CREDIT DISCUSSION SATISFACTORY HISTORY OF MARKET ACCESS Somerville continues to demonstrate satisfactory access to the capital markets. The city received seven buds on its most recent note sale dated June 21, 2012, six bids on its note sale, dated June 23, 2011, nine bids on its note sale dated February 19, 2010, and seven bids on its note sale dated June 16, 2010. All bids were from regional and national financial institutions. Based on the city's strong bid history and long-term credit strength, Moody's believes that the city will have sufficient access to the capital markets to permanently finance or renew the notes at their June, 2014 and October 2013 maturities. HEALTHY REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY CONTINUES FOR FAVORABLY LOCATED TAX BASE Moody's anticipates continued stability for the City of Somerville, given its favorably located tax base in the Greater Boston (GO rated Aaa/Stable) economy, and management's ongoing commitment to redevelopment activity. After experiencing three consecutive years of assessed value declines from 2007 to 2010, the city saw modest growth of 0.4% in fiscal 2011, 1.1% in fiscal 2012, and 2.4% in fiscal 2013, which is indicative of a return to stability in the regional housing market. In addition, several large scale development projects are currently underway, and are contributing to growth in the city's total taxable value. Equalized values grew an average of 0.9% annually over the last six years incorporating both significant market appreciation and new growth, partially offset by the national economic slowdown over the last few fiscal years. Consequently, the city's equalized value has almost tripled to over $9.2 billion from $3.17 billion in 1998 primarily driven by condominium conversions of rental units, new commercial development and market value appreciation in the first three quarters of the decade. To capitalize on Somerville's desirable location and to facilitate future growth, city management has embarked on an ambitious economic development plan, including commissioning various feasibility studies to identify potential projects, rezoning initiatives to facilitate investment and pursuit of state and federal grant funds. The principal driver for future growth is the 145-acre Assembly Square Project, including two million square feet of office space, over 2,000 housing units, and 1.2 million square feet of retail space. In addition, the site will be directly served by a newly constructed subway stop on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's (MBTA, assessment bonds rated Aa1/stable outlook) orange line, which is expected to be operational by fiscal 2014. The project remains on schedule and on budget. Portions of Tufts University (revenue bonds rated Aa2/stable outlook) lie within the city and the university's presence provides economic stability as well as significant employment opportunities. Although a tax-exempt entity, the city benefits from annual payments-in-lieu of taxes of $125,000 and affordable rental rates of university- owned property utilized for city operations. The city's sizeable student population (about 14% of total population according to the 2000 census), drawn from Tufts, as well as nearby Harvard (rated Aaa/stable outlook) and MIT (rated Aaa/stable outlook), partially depresses the city's income indices, expressed by 2010 median family income and per capita income of 85.3% and 95.7% of the commonwealth, respectively. Positively, income levels in the city have improved slightly over fiscal 2000 levels, when median family income and per capita income were 83% and 91% of the commonwealth, respectively. Unemployment typically trends lower than state and national averages and in March of 2013 stood at 4.2%, comfortably below the state and national jobless rates of 6.8% and 7.6%, respectively. FINANCIAL POSITION REMAINS STABLE DESPITE HISTORICAL STATE AID DECLINES Somerville's financial position is expected to remain stable in the near term, given the city's conservative budgeting approach and ample reserve levels. The city's fiscal 2012 budget was balanced with a $3.5 million appropriation of free cash in order to help offset another reduction in state aid of approximately $2.4 million. At year end, the city recognized a modest operating surplus of approximately $828,000 net of bond premium, primarily as a result of favorable budgetary variances on several revenue items, including hotel and motel tax, local option meals tax, and motor vehicle excise receipts. Total General Fund balance at the end of fiscal 2012 was $41.6

Page 122 of 131

million, or a healthy 21.3% of revenues, while Unassigned General Fund balance was $13.7 million, or a satisfactory 7% of revenues. The fiscal 2013 budget was a 1.2% increase over fiscal 2012, and utilized the appropriation of approximately $3.5 million of free cash. The budget also incorporated roughly $7 million in health care savings that the city realized from switching to the state-run Group Health Insurance Commission (GIC) plan. As a result of the February snow storm in the region, the city overspent its snow and ice budget by approximately $950,000, however this is expected to be offset by savings in other areas. With approximately one month until the end of the fiscal year, officials are expecting another modest surplus after the replenishment of the $3.5 million free cash appropriation. The fiscal 2014 budget has not yet been adopted, but is expected to represent a 5.7% increase in spending, and will be balanced with a 2.5% levy increase and a $3.5 million free cash appropriation. In addition, In November of 2012, the city voted to adopt the Community Preservation Act, which is expected to yield over $1 million in annual receipts from the additional dedicated tax and state matching funds. The city maintains its own retirement plan for all employees, with the exception of teachers and certain school administrators. The city is required by the state to fully fund its Annually Required Contribution (ARC), which was $11 million in 2012, representing a manageable 5.6% of General Fund expenditures. The city's combined adjusted net pension liability, under Moody's methodology for adjusting reported pension data, is $245 million, or approximately a slightly above average 1.29 times General Fund revenues. Moody's uses the adjusted net pension liability to improve comparability of reported pension liabilities. The adjustments are not intended to replace the city's reported liability information, but to improve comparability with other rated entities. In February of 2012, the city established a trust fund for its Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability, which will be funded by annual appropriations, initially set at $200,000 in fiscal 2013. In fiscal 2012, the city funded 52% of the OPEB ARC, representing $10.2 million. The total Unfunded Actuarially Accrued Liability (UAAL) for OPEB is $300 million, as of June 30, 2012. MANAGEABLE DEBT BURDEN WITH PLANNED FUTURE BORROWINGS It is anticipated that Somerville's debt position will remain manageable due to its modest net direct debt, rapid principal retirement, and affordable planned future borrowings. Incorporating the current issuance, Somerville's net direct debt is on par with the commonwealth median at 1.1% of full value. The city's debt burden increases to 5.2% when incorporating overlapping debt from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (senior lien revenue bonds rated Aa1/stable outlook) and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. After incorporating partial reimbursement from the Massachusetts School Building Authority (sales tax bonds rated Aa1/stable outlook), the city's adjusted debt burden declines slightly to 5.1% of full value. The city's principal payout on outstanding debt is average, with 73.5% being retired within 10 years. The city has no variable rate debt or swaps, and is not party to any derivative agreements. WHAT COULD MAKE THE RATING GO UP: -- Improved General Fund Balance position -- Significant tax base expansion -- Improvement in demographic profile of the city WHAT COULD MAKE THE RATING GO DOWN: -- Significant reduction of General Fund Balance and free cash -- Deterioration of the city's tax base -- Failure to address long term pension and OPEB obligations -- Significant increase in debt burden KEY STATISTICS: 2010 population: 76,267 (+0.7% since 2010 census) 2013 Equalized Valuation: $9.2 billion
