Capital Improvements Program
The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is a five-year plan to provide and
maintain public facilities for the citizens and businesses of Fridley, balanced
against the constraints of available resources
Funding Priority
Reinvestment for the replacement, maintenance or increased efficiency of
existing systems will have priority over the expansion of existing systems or the provision of new facilities or services. Priority rankings include:
1. Assigned to projects that provide protection to health, safety, welfare
and/or property, or to meet legal mandates. Examples of such benefits
include providing for worker safety or preventing damage to facilities. 2. Assigned to projects that do not qualify for the highest rating, but provide
efficiencies in operations or provide significant return. Examples of such
benefits include increases to operational efficiencies and leveraging of
outside funding sources. 3. Assigned to projects that do not meet the criteria for higher rating. While
these projects are necessary and recommended, they do not in and of
themselves provide immediate significant benefits, but rather provide
benefit over the long term. This rating is assigned by staff, and is not necessarily reflective of overall
priorities and sequencing of CIP projects approved by the City Council. The
rating is provided to allow a quick reference categorizing the general need for the
project. Planning Principles
• The CIP will support achievement of the City’s long-term Strategic Goals.
• The CP will be updated annually to reflect changing capital needs for new
construction and maintenance of the City’s substantial investments in
streets, utilities, parks, buildings and equipment.
• Development of the CIP will be consistent with the annual operating budget. Future operating costs associated with new capital improvements
will be projected and included in operating budget forecasts.

technology world. There will be projects in the out years, but they have yet to be determined.

Justification:
The current system is a combination of a radio pager, amplifier, speakers and a relay that turns on the lights in
three rooms. The radio speakers in each area cannot be adjusted independently making the audio difficult to
hear in different areas of the building. Speakers were acquired from the renovation of one of the liquor stores
and from Radio Shack. They are not quality speakers also contribute to poor quality sound. The current
alerting system fully opens to its set audio level and turns the lights fully on regardless of day or night
operation. A new system would reduce stress by ramping audio and lighting at night. The new system
would also be able to shut off appliances, close garage doors, and control the vehicle exhaust system. The
system could also display information and count up or down from the time of the call giving firefighters a visual
queue for when to wait for staff or respond. In general a new system would reduce stress, improve
communication and provide for better security and safety.
Scheduling and Project Status:
Equipment could be purchased early in the year. Most of the equipment could be installed by firefighters and
technicians from Central Communications. Some of the interfaces to the vehicle exhaust systems, garage doors,
etc would require an electrician or contractor. The system should be able to be fully operational within a
month of delivery of the equipment.
Relationship to General Plan and Other Projects:
This project is independent of other projects, but this project does meet the goal of providing worker safety
and preventing damage to facilities.
Effect on Annual Operations Costs:
This project has no effect on annual operating costs.
Description:
This purchase is a replacement and improvement of the emergency call alerting
system for Station 1. Radio paging is the primary method of receiving emergency call
information from Central Communications. The current alerting system has been cobbled
together by firefighters and technicians from Anoka County Central Communications over
the past 25 plus years. The project involves purchasing all of the components to receive
and deliver emergency call information as well as provide a healthy environment for
firefighters in the station.

Justification:
A truck mounted attenuator (TMA) is an energy
absorption device that serves as a temporary barrier when placed between live traffic and a work area on
highways that must remain open to traffic during repairs or accidents. The TMA may significantly help to minimize
injuries or fatalities associated with a collision between a vehicle and a truck used for protecting (blocking) a work
area.
The City of Fridley should have available use of a Trailer-Mounted Attenuators while performing certain work in the
travel lanes, shoulder, or clear zone of higher speed (≥ 35 mph) roadways. Examples of use include when 1)
changing traffic signal lamps, 2) removing snow from bus stops, 3) utility work, and 4) after an accident requiring
prolonged clearing or investigation. Temporary work zone traffic control standards developed by federal and state
authorities rank the use of TMAs as desirable to highly recommended for these types of work activities on County
and State Highways, and certain City streets in Fridley.
Scheduling and Project Status:
Purchase is planned for 2014, but may be advanced upon approval to utilize in 2013.
Relationship to General Plan and Other Projects:
This equipment purchase will allow the City to continue
fulfilling current maintenance obligations while providing safety to both employees in work zones and the traveling
public.
Effect on Annual Operations Costs:
This equipment will add slightly to equipment maintenance costs supported by Public Works Department budgets.

$ 156,000
Justification:
Systematic maintenance and upgrading of computers,
network equipment, printers, peripheral devices, and software. Most PCs are on a five-year replacement cycle.
Laptops are replaced every four years. Printers are eligible for replacement every four years but are only
replaced if there are significant problems with an
individual device. Software is typically purchased at the same time as
the PC it will be loaded on to, and is usually only upgraded/replaced with that PC.
Network equipment, including servers and LAN/WAN hardware, are eligible for replacement every four years.
Scheduling and Project Status:
PCs and printers are purchased through the year after consultation with the affected departments and users. Network equipment is analyzed on a yearly basis to determine if it is still meeting the needs of the city.
Some specific expenditures include:
2014: Four core servers, including three VMware hosts, a database server, and necessary software, are
scheduled for replacement in 2014 ($50,000). 2015: Network core switches ($50,000) and the city’s
firewalls ($8,000) are eligible for replacement.

Justification:
The current financial system is operating on 1980s technology and is difficult to interface with other systems. It also has very limited capabilities to be expanded to include things like electronic
timekeeping, employee access to personal records and payroll information, online utility bill lookup, online
payments, etc. In addition, the system is very
inflexible and difficult to modify where needed. The primary objective of this project would be to
replace the financial system with up-to-date technology so that the city can take advantage of interconnectivity with other systems and can
reasonably look into implementing other technologies that will increase the overall productivity of city employees and increase the overall efficiency of city
operations. This could be done either by upgrading to
a more current product from the same vendor, or by moving to a new vendor. The determination of which
path to take would be part of the initial stages of the project. Scheduling and Project Status:
It is anticipated that the entire project would be
completed in 2014, though, if necessary, the old system may be kept in place beyond that time so that
historical information may be queried. $150,000 of the total project cost was budgeted in 2013.
Relationship to General Plan and Other Projects:
Upgrading the current financial system will facilitate several other projects that have been discussed but which have been postponed due to the age and limited capabilities of the current system. These include:
electronic timekeeping, employee access to personal records and payroll information, online utility bill lookup,
online payments, and many others.
Effect on Annual Operations Costs:
Depending on the system selected, this project could have a significant effect on the annual operating costs of the Finance Department. No matter the type of system
chosen, operating costs will likely rise, though how much remains to be determined.
Description:
Upgrade/replacement of current, green-screen financial system that has been in place since
the early 1990s. Includes upgrades to General Financials, Utility Billing, Payroll, and
Human Resources.

Justification:
The objective of this project is to put information access and management tools directly in the hands of the officer, no matter where they are, by replacing the MDTs mounted in the squad cars with tablet PCs that
are assigned to individual officers. This will allow officers to fill out forms, add drawings, add
photographs, send and receive information, store,
search and review notes, and convert notes to reports. Tablet PCs are portable, flexible, and can be docked in the squad car or in the office. Assigned
tablet PCs would be carried by officers on traffic stops, during field contacts, at accident and crime scene investigations, providing instant access to
critical information that may relate directly to the officer’s safety as well as allowing on-scene data query and recording capabilities. Tablet PCs can also
be used as both audio and visual recording devices,
replacing dedicated recorders and cameras. Use of tablets would also bring the Department into
conformity with CJIS security policies. Scheduling and Project Status:
As requirements of the coming Public Safety Data System become known (anticipated 2013 4Q) begin
implementation of 11 tablet PCs for detective and administrators in 2014. Complete implementation of
31 tablet PCs for patrol officers, CSO Unit, Reserve Unit, and spares by end of 2015 Q1.
Relationship to General Plan and Other Projects:
Implements a cost effective solution that provides tools for first responders to receive and act upon critical, officer and community safety information while handling incidents; provides a means of efficiently collecting,
accessing and managing data; addresses CJIS security deficiencies.
Effect on Annual Operations Costs:
Annual operating costs to the City and Department are
anticipated to be unaffected. Setup, training, maintenance and support will be covered under existing
contracts and/or with existing city staff.
Description:
Assign tablet PCs to each licensed police officer and to the CSO and Reserve units to
replace laptop computers and other equipment in squad cars.
