1 CITY OF COLD LAKE 2016 CAPITAL BUDGET The City of Cold Lake s 2016 Capital Budget demonstrates the commitment to a multi-year capital plan that depicts a strong community infrastructure investment. Once again, this is a significant achievement for the City, and a continued contribution to the long term community re-investment strategy. The capital budget outlines a balanced approach to infrastructure projects with a mix of various disciplines and initiatives. The 2016 Capital Budget consist a total of $45,470,700, with highlights including: Environmental/Utility Infrastructure Improvements $4,800,000 Roadway Infrastructure Improvements $8,442,200 Fleet and Equipment Infrastructure $1,425,000 IT Infrastructure $193,500 Facilities Infrastructure $28,375,000 Recreation Infrastructure $2,235,000 To develop a better understanding of the capital budget, here is a more detailed description of the projects in the various disciplines: Meadows Storm Water Trunk Extension ENVIRONMENTAL/UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS (4,800,000) Meadows Storm Water Trunk Extension project is the second storm water issue that is restricting development in Cold Lake South. It will be necessary to deepen palm creek and complete a new storm line crossing Highway 28 at 55 Avenue. This new pipe will be approximately two (2) meters deeper than the existing elevations, which will service the Meadows and Brady Heights. This budget is to enhance the budget from It should be noted that the City of Cold Lake will have a future contributing share of the proposed parkway due to the existing development. Project Value = $2,500,000 (2015) $3,000,000 (2016) Cold Lake South Landfill Access Road Re-Alignment This existing Class 3 landfill, which is for demolition and inert materials only, has reached its capacity based on the current configuration. The City has gone to its maximum height and width in the current direction that landfill is occurring. The City of Cold Lake will be reconfiguring the landfill to extend its lifespan by the only alternative, which is to process all demolition and inert materials at the transfer station, and then haul them to an alternative landfill. This new configuration will require a re-alignment of the existing access road which will free up space at the landfill. Project Value = $500,000

2 Cold Lake South Landfill Scale House The City of Cold Lake currently process approximately 38,000 customers annually at the Cold Lake South Landfill and Transfer Station. A need exists to expand the scaling capacity to allow quicker processing for customers. This project will enable the City to purchase a second scale for the waste management facility. Project Value = $200,000 Waste Management Facility Enhancements In 2016, various service contracts will be maturing, and the City of Cold Lake will be researching alternative service delivery options for waste management and recycling initiatives. A budget has been established to control costs of the initiatives in the event that the alternative service delivery options need to be enabled. Project Value = $500,000 Inflow and Infiltration Study Sanitary sewer systems are designed to carry wastewater from toilets, dishwashers, sinks, and showers in homes or businesses. Inflow and infiltration (I and I), which is generally stormwater, surface flow runoff, and groundwater, enters into the sanitary sewer and increases the load on the systems. Stormwater should belong to stormwater sewers, on the surface of the ground, or drainage ditches. During dry weather, the impact of inflow and infiltration can vary significantly. This type of I and I is typically related to ground water infiltration such as cracked pipes, manholes, sump pumps, etc. Rain events or snow melts generally described as wet weather, magnifies existing inflow and infiltration sources. As a rain or snow melt event begins, the inflow and infiltration sources starts filling the sanitary sewer systems with water, and eventually filling the sewer systems to capacity and beyond. Once the sanitary sewer system is beyond capacity, water will flow backwards through the sanitary sewer pipes, flooding basements and households, and causing manholes to pop open, releasing wastewater onto the streets. This is a two (2) year project intended to quantify the I and I, and provide recommendations for improvements to reduce I and I in the City s sanitary sewer system. These recommendations will include potential policies and/or infrastructure improvements. Project Value = $600,000 - $300,000 (2015) and $200,000 (2016) Fire Hydrant Replacement Program Due to a significant backlog of work in the Utilities department, the City of Cold Lake will be utilizing contracted services for the replacement of several fire hydrants throughout the community.

3 Water Meter Replacement Program (Wireless System) In 2012, utility companies converted to wireless meter reading systems, and terminated its contracts with the City of Cold Lake to provide manual meter reading services. As a result, the City began to convert its water meters to a wireless system in 2012, and all necessary back bone infrastructures and the first slate of meters were purchased then. The City of Cold Lake is in year three (3) of the conversion process. In 2014, the City of Cold Lake increased the funding from $150,000 to $300,000 in an effort to reduce the implementation time. Based on the proposed funding levels, the project should be completed by 2016 for all residential units that have metered rates.
