The CIP is not an appropriation or approval of a specific project, but rather a planning document that communicates to citizens and the development community the City’s intent to preserve, improve, and expand infrastructure, facilities, and equipment. To effectively respond to changing circumstances and economic factors, the CIP must be a flexible plan. The CIP considers providing capital facilities for use by the current and likely increased population during the next five years. In addition, the City’s capital facilities must serve a significant seasonal population. The CIP maintains and, in some cases, expands the current levels of service. There are many uses for the Capital Improvements Program. Some of the most important uses include: 1. Ensuring the timely provision of adequate facilities to maintain levels of service that are important to the quality of life in the City. 2. Maintaining satisfactory operating efficiency and safety of the City’s existing capital facilities. 3. Providing facilities and infrastructure needed to accommodate new growth. These facilities would be eligible for funding through impact fees. 3. Providing evidence to bond rating agencies that the City is planning and managing its debt for capital improvements, thus minimizing interest rates and the cost of borrowing money. 4. Providing evidence to agencies that award grants and loans that the City is planning for capital improvements, including the need for local matching funds and/or repayment of loans. City and State Law Requirements According to the Whitefish’s Municipal Code (Section 10-2-10) and State law, an update to the CIP is required at least every five years to comply with Impact Fee requirements. However, the City now updates the CIP on an annual basis. The following are excerpts from the applicable code sections: 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF WHITEFISH MUNICIPAL CODE: 10-2-10: COMPONENT OF BUDGET: A. Pursuant to and consistent with Montana Code Annotated section 7-6-1602(2)(k), the city's capital improvement program is the component of the city's budget that: 1. Scheduled construction of public facility capital improvements to serve projected growth; 2. Projects costs of the capital improvements; 3. Allocates collected impact fees for construction of capital improvements; and 4. Covers at least a five year period and is reviewed and updated at least everyfiveo years. MONTANA ANNOTATED CODE: 7-6-1602. Calculation of impact fees documentation required ordinance or resolution requirements for impact fees. For each public facility for which an impact fee is imposed, the governmental entity shall prepare and approve a service area report. The service area report is a written analysis that must: have a component of the budget of the governmental entity that: schedules construction of public facility capital improvements to serve projected growth; (ii) projects costs of the capital improvements; (iii) allocates collected impact fees for construction of the capital improvements; and (iv) covers at least a 5-year period and is reviewed and updated at least every 5 years. Capital Improvement Definition For a project to be included in the CIP, the project must be a capital expenditure that meets the following criteria: • Newly acquired capital assets o Expenditure of $5,000 or more o Must have a useful life greater than 1 year OR • Improvements to current capital assets o Expenditure of $5,000 or more o Extends the useful life of the asset o Results in the asset being in a “like new” condition or upgraded to improve efficiency, quality, strength, or capacity Projects undertaken to repair and maintain equipment and facilities that do not meet the criteria above are considered routine repair and maintenance expenditures. These ongoing expenditures are budgeted in the fiscal year that the expenditure occurs and expensed when incurred. 2 ---PAGE BREAK--- Development of the Capital Improvements Program The CIP process generally begins in March and is developed through the following steps: 1. Department Directors identify capital improvement projects that are needed to maintain levels of service or achieve expanded levels of service that are deemed necessary over the next five years. Descriptions and justifications are also included for each project. 2. Department Directors prioritize proposed capital improvement projects for their respective departments. Some CIPs use elaborate systems to determine the priorities among capital improvement projects. Whitefish’s CIP uses a straightforward approach in which each Department Director lists their projects in priority order, according to their professional judgment and recommendation. Certain City plans, such as the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan, may drive the priority. 3. The Finance Director assists in identifying funding sources that are available to pay for the capital improvement projects and prepares forecasts of revenues that are generally predictable. Bonding for projects is also considered when appropriate. 4. The City Manager and Finance Director meet with each Department Director to discuss projects required to maintain the current levels of service and the possibility of expanded levels of service based on forecasted revenues and funding options available. If funding is not readily available and the specific project would not reduce the level of service, it may be moved to the “Unscheduled Projects” column. If an unexpected source of revenue, such as a grant, is obtained the project may be moved into a specific year within the CIP. 5. During the development of the fiscal year budget, the CIP is used as a tool to determine which capital projects should be included and what funds can be appropriated. 6. All information is compiled into the CIP for the City Council to review and consider during the budget work sessions. 7. With the fiscal year budget adoption in August, appropriations are approved for specific capital improvement projects planned for that year, and the CIP is approved by the City Council. Cost of Capital Improvements The CIP for Fiscal Years 2026 – 2030 contains 102 scheduled projects totaling $57,273,180. Roughly 83% of the project costs some under Public Works and are related to wastewater 3 ---PAGE BREAK--- improvements, necessary water system improvements including distribution and capacity expansions, stormwater projects and street reconstruction projects to include those funded by Resort Tax collections. Detailed project information, timing, and funding sources are detailed on each of the departmental reports. Below is a summary of costs by Department, or major project type, for Fiscal Years 2026 – 2030: DEPARTMENT ESTIMATED COST City Administration/IT $ 233,583 Legislative 20,000 Library 199,243 Planning/Building 100,000 Law Enforcement 470,891 Fire & Ambulance 2,347,000 Parks & Recreation 2,336,000 Streets 2,604,780 Water 24,345,000 Wastewater 3,265,000 Stormwater 1,310,000 Resort Tax Projects – Parks/Paths 4,041,683 Resort Tax Projects – Streets 16,000,000 TOTAL $ 57,273,180 The figures above do not include unscheduled projects that have timelines and/or funding yet to be determined. Funding and Financing Options for Capital Improvements There are a variety of funding sources available to pay for projects identified in the City’s CIP for Fiscal Years 2026 – 2030. Some sources of funding, such as Impact Fees and grants are restricted and can only be used for projects that meet certain requirements. The following table describes the various funding sources and the capital facilities or equipment that may qualify. 4 ---PAGE BREAK--- POSSIBLE FUNDING SOURCES CAPITAL FACILITY/EQUIPMENT Annual Budget or Cash Reserves for Capital Purchases All Capital Donations/Contributions Fire, Library, Parks & Recreation, and Police Grants Depends on grant award. May include Water, Wastewater, Stormwater, Parks & Recreation, Fire, and Police Impact Fees Expansion of City Hall, Police Facilities, Fire Facilities and Equipment, Paved Trails, Parks, Water Infrastructure, and Wastewater Infrastructure. *Projects must have a useful life of 10 years or more Land Dedication or Fees in Lieu Parks & Recreation Resort Tax Park & Recreation Improvements, Paved Trails, and Streets including related Water, Wastewater, and Storm Water components Parkland & Greenway Maintenance Assessment Parks & Recreation Street Maintenance Assessment Streets Gas Tax and Bridge and Road Safety and Accountability Act (BaRSAA) Streets Whitefish Fire Service Area Contribution Fire Voted Property Tax Levy (Voter Approval Required) Fire, Police, Library, and Parks & Recreation Special Improvement Districts Streets, Water, Wastewater, and Storm Water General Obligation Bonds (Voter Approval Required) Parks & Recreation, Fire, Police, and Library Revenue Bonds Water and Wastewater Lease Revenue Bonds Parking Structure 5 ---PAGE BREAK--- Program Funding Goals The City strives to properly maintain facilities and the current level of service in the most cost- efficient and effective way possible. While affordability of utility rates, fees, and assessments continue to be of concern for the citizens of Whitefish, it is important not to defer maintenance costs or capital replacements for future generations. Each fall, the City Council considers proposed increases for both the water and wastewater utilities. To ensure proper funding of necessary capital improvements for the water and wastewater utilities, a utility rate study was completed in 2016 that indicates how much and when the rate increases should be considered by the City Council. Based on significant changes to the CIP for the water utility, the rate model was updated in 2019. There are no planned rate increases for FY 2026 however; the South Water Storage and Production project may require future increases to cover the debt service. A rate review for water and wastewater began in the spring of 2025 but it is not yet complete. For other capital improvements that are primarily funded by property tax revenue, the City has minimal flexibility. In Fiscal Year 2019 the City was at its maximum mill levy. However, with the expiration of the Tax Increment District in 2020, the City now has additional mills that could be levied according to statutory limitations. Overall, the available increase is small when considering the multiple departments funded by property taxes (such as Administration, Court, Library, Fire, Police, Library, and Parks & Recreation) and the financial impacts to property taxpayers. In FY 2025, the final payment was made on the Haskill Basin Conservation Easement project, which was funded through 70% of 1% of the resort tax. Beginning in February of 2025, the dedication of resort tax dollars was reallocated according to a vote that went to the electorate in November of 2023. Forty-eight (48) percent of the 3% resort tax can be used to repair, maintain, and improve streets, storm sewers, underground utilities, sidewalks, and curbs and gutters. Ten (10) percent of the 3% resort tax can be used for improvements and maintenance of bicycle and pedestrian paths and other park acquisitions, capital improvements, and equipment. The remaining allocation of resort tax is designated for community housing projects and programs the maintenance of the Whitefish Trail property tax relief and a portion retained by vendors administering the collection of resort tax from customers do not directly impact the capital funding needs of the city. The reallocation, however, allows for additional funding for street, parks and path projects and could be leveraged to obtain additional sources of funding. Staff continues to apply for grants in hopes of funding capital projects, but those are often limited and very competitive. 6 ---PAGE BREAK--- Program Monitoring With the annual revision of the Capital Improvement Plan, the progress made toward the completion of identified projects is monitored. Each year, staff reviews the projects that were accomplished, considers any changes in circumstances or economic factors, and makes necessary updates to the plan. Questions regarding the status of the CIP should be directed to the Finance Director. 7 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2026 through 2030 City of Whitefish 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan Whitefish, MT Projects & Funding Sources By Department Department Project # 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Total Fire & Ambulance Ambulance 300,000 300,000 EMS Monitors 167,000 167,000 Replace 2016 Command Vehicle 115,000 115,000 Pump Slide-in Unit 40,000 40,000 Enclosed Trailer 15,000 15,000 Ladder Truck 1,500,000 1,500,000 SCBA 70,000 70,000 70,000 210,000 Fire & Ambulance Total 467,000 170,000 1,570,000 70,000 70,000 2,347,000 Cash Reserves -
