Envision: Pages 61-77 5. Finance Encyclopedia: Pages 109-116 Facilities Plan – Facility Condition Assessments Alta Central • Alta Central was brought up LCC in 1950’s from Fort Douglas to provide housing; taken over by Town of Alta in 1973. Placed on rubble foundation in 1990’s. • IBC requires “essential facilities” including police stations built to Risk Category IV structural standards to withstand seismic hazard; Alta Central is not designed to earthquake, avalanche, wildfire specs •Marshals and Dispatch need more space, specific additional functional spaces • Significant accessibility challenges inside and outside • Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, all out of code and in need of replacement • Building in decent functional condition • FFKR recommends decommissioning Central as a police department building or other essential facility, moving all AMO functions to new building or town office. Can repurpose after significant renovation. Facilities Plan – Facility Condition Assessments Community Center-Firehouse • Significant structural issues: roof not rated to snow load, wood framed annexes are separating from concrete building, erosion control behind building has failed and structure is being damaged by rockfall • Needs major architectural, MEP upgrades • Community Center is our only roadside facility; only location to provide year-round ADA compliant building and minimize risk of injury to employees and visitors from slip-and-fall hazard • We believe it’s least exposed to large avalanche paths • FFKR recommends demolishing Community Center, relocating AMO and potentially admin functions to Community Center due to its much more accessible roadside location Facilities Plan – Facility Condition Assessments Town Office • The Town’s most sound facility • Needs electrical, architectural upgrades; not urgently • Significant accessibility challenges; not roadside, must walk over steep, snow-covered slopes to access building in winter. Risk of injury to visitors and employees • FFKR recommends continuing in current use, or remodeling as dispatch center, with renovations for accessibility, codes, etc. Facility Condition – Additional Notes • Alta Central, Town Office are in avalanche path, community center is less exposed. New construction at community center site likely cheaper due to lower structural requirements; fewer operational constraints. FFKR $/sf figures may not capture the magnitude of cost impacts. • We do not have dedicated year-round parking at Alta Central/Town Office. Shallow Shaft owns some of the parking we use. We have a USFS permit for the rest of it. More potential to own or directly control parking at Community Center site? • Risks and impacts associated with accessibility challenges Key Graphics “Adjacency Matrix” depicts potential spatial relationships between functional areas; dotted>solid lines suggest greater need for roadside location FFKR’s “Test Fit 1” • New Building at Community Center Site • All Alta Marshals Office functions plus additional police/dispatch space • Existing Functions: Post Office, garage bays/storage, multipurpose space • 14,000 square feet, minor renovations to Town Office • Would require additional footprint on USFS land: special use permit or exchange for town land FFKR’s “Test Fit 2” • New Building at Community Center Site • Police functions, additional police space • Move admin functions to new building • Move dispatch to Town Office, renovate Town Office • Existing Functions: Post Office, garage bays/storage, multipurpose space • 17,000 square feet, 2400 square feet renovated @ Town Office • Would require additional footprint on USFS land: special use permit or exchange for town land Other Alternatives and Variables • Replace existing Alta Central or Community Center functions and square feet • New build: existing plus desired additional AMO space • New Building at CC: o Police functions plus existing functions o Dispatch Center moved into 1st floor town office o Small addition to town office on Central site: dispatch quarters only OLS: We can decide not to retain multipurpose space at Community Center/Firehouse location; would save 600-800 square feet. Cost Information in Facilities Master Plan Executive Summary “Cost Facility Condition Index Repair vs Comparison” of Test Fit concepts Replacement Costs (pgs 29, 35, 41) (pg. 10) • Hard costs only = $800/square • Costs based on complex building foot assumption systems narratives provided by subconsultants. Roughly amounts • Replacement costs assume to $1000/SF either like-for-like new builds, or • Assume no further costs on Alta new builds that include additional Central; one large new building at programming indicated by staff as Community Center site; necessary or desired renovations to Town Office for code, or code + functional •No work on Town Office assumed renovations More than a WAG: Cost Estimates 3.

Alternatives 1, 2, 4, 5 do not include Town Office renovations. ***Many cost assumptions extrapolated from FFKR document by staff, not reviewed with FFKR. Does not include multipurpose space. New construction on Alta Central site may be more expensive $/SF due to avalanche exposure Summary Key issues with Town Facilities: • Accessibility • Resilience • Replacement cost on a small budget; costs increasing due to inflation, tariffs, labor shortages, etc. Tear down and rebuild CC Move away from using AC – could repurpose but should upgrade and can’t use for public safety Town Office is good Recommend moving either all of AMO, or police and admin to new building More Big Picture Quandaries Will there always be an Alta Will there always be a Town of Alta?

Each group had time at each station for discussion and comments. The group reported their Priority A: ideas (See slides 21-23). Cost –Prioritize the Smallest Project What are the Town’s priorities? Priority B: Resilience – Prioritize Supporting Resilience Against Short-Term Hazards (natural and other disasters) Priority C: 1. Divide into 3 groups. Accessibility – Prioritize Moving Functions Requiring 2. Identify a timer, note taker, and Public Access (What About Accessibility for presenter. Employees?) to Roadside Facility 3. Use the planning worksheets. 4. Seven minutes at each station. 5. Brief report out. PRIORITY ACTION PLANNING Original notes from the easel pad: A: Cost – Smallest ”Efficient” Project Description: * DEMO current community center – Post office * Replace with purpose-built critical needs facilities Strategy: • Start small – Can happen faster • “Phased approach” • Easier to finance • UDOT Partnership • Q: How much growth in SF will we fund? • Maintain services thru construction Next steps: • Balance AMO needs with other Town functions • Leverage current administration for UFSF exchange PRIORITY ACTION PLANNING Original notes from the easel pad: B: Resilience – Natural hazards, catastrophic, long-term value Description: Prioritize public safety / AMO / Dispatch Strategy: • Community center – post office • Continue planning & prioritizing – AMO services, i.e., location will drive the rest Next steps: • Planning • Site the AMO PRIORITY ACTION PLANNING Original notes from the easel pad: C: Accessibility Description: • Accessibility of Municipal public and staff access Strategy: 1.

Governor and Election Officer (~August 20th) ❖ Notice and hold a public hearing to discuss the Town’s intent to issue bonds ❖ Eligible Voters must submit notice 65 days prior to election of their intent to file an argument against the bonds ❖ Governing body prepares and submits and argument in favor of the ballot proposition ❖ The election officer sends both arguments to the pro and con author and rebuttals are prepared ❖ Voter information pamphlets are required to be mailed to each household with a registered voter ❖ Governing body must post arguments and rebuttal on State Voter Information Website, Town website and Town newsletter if the Town has one ❖ Governing body conducts a public hearing between 4 and 45 days before election ❖ Election is held and canvass of election takes place 7 to 14 days after election ZIONS PUBLIC FINANCE, INC. 40 Utility Revenue Bonds ❖ Advantages to issuing Utility Revenue Bonds o Will likely do a better job of matching the revenue pledge to the fund benefitted from the project o Is seen as reliable source of revenue and demands a competitive interest rate o Is authorized by a Resolution adopted by the Town Council ❖ Disadvantages to issuing Utility Revenue Bonds o Typically requires 1.25X coverage which will require utility rates to be monitored to make sure coverage requirements are met o No new revenues are generated to aid in the payment of debt service o Higher interest rate than a GO Bond ZIONS PUBLIC FINANCE, INC. 41 Excise/Sales Tax Bonds ❖ Advantages to issuing Excise/Sales Tax Revenue Bonds o Is seen as reliable source of revenue and demands a competitive interest rate o Is authorized by a Resolution adopted by the Town Council ❖ Disadvantages to issuing Excise/Sales Tax Revenue Bonds o Typically requires 1.50X – 2.00X coverage because revenues can be volatile with changes in economic conditions o No new revenues are generated to aid in the payment of debt service o Higher interest rate than a GO Bond ZIONS PUBLIC FINANCE, INC. 42 Lease Revenue Bonds ❖ Advantages to issuing Lease Revenue Bonds o Does not pledge specific revenues of the Town which gives more flexibility for financing other future projects o Works well when the project is funded by several sources of revenues o Is authorized by a Resolution adopted by the Building Authority and Town Council ❖ Disadvantages of Issuing Lease Revenue Bonds o Because the lease is subject to annual appropriation, interest rates are higher than GO Bonds o Title insurance is required because the asset is the collateral for the loan o Lease agreements between the Town and the Building Authority are prepared by bond counsel that increase the costs of issuance o No new revenues are generated to aid in the payment of debt service ZIONS PUBLIC FINANCE, INC. 43 Other Miscellaneous Bonds ❖ Special Assessment Area (SAA)Bonds o Used when a public project only benefits a portion of the community o Requires support from 60%+ of the benefitted property owners o The annual assessment is added to the property tax bill ❖ Public Infrastructure Districts (PID’s) o Typically used by developers to reduce the cost of capital for their projects o Requires 100% support from property owners and creation approval by the governing body o Can be issued as a Limited General Obligation Tax (up to 15 mills) or as a Special Assessment Bond Assessment Bonds require the assessed value of the property after the improvements to be 3X the anticipated borrowing. ZIONS PUBLIC FINANCE, INC. 44 FUNDING SOURCES ❖ State Revolving Funds (SRF) for Water and Sewer Projects (BWR - Secondary Water, DDW - Drinking Water and DEQ - Sewer) o Eligibility and interest rates are typically tied to the Median Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) of the community and what percent the utility rate is of total income and other factors. o Most loans have an interest rate below 3.00%. o A 1.0% loan origination fee is typically charged. o Will likely include additional steps to comply with the state or federal funding requirements. o The loans require the funding of a Debt Service Reserve Fund equal to one payment over a 10-year period. o Zions would act as a municipal advisor/fiduciary to assist the Town through the bonding process. ZIONS PUBLIC FINANCE, INC. 45 FUNDING SOURCES ❖ Direct Placement: Bonds are purchased by Zions Bank to be held in their investment portfolio. o Zions is interested in purchasing bonds for their own investment portfolio, but currently only fixes interest rates for 10-years. o Zions would offer callable at anytime rates which gives flexibility to payoff the debt early or to refinance the bonds for NPV savings if interest rates decline. o No debt service reserve fund is required. o Zions has financed several police vehicles for the Town. o Zions would not act in a Municipal Advisor/fiduciary role if we were to purchase any bonds. ZIONS PUBLIC FINANCE, INC. 46 FUNDING SOURCES ❖ Private Placement: Bonds are purchased by a Bank to be held in their investment portfolio. o Private placement is primarily used when the bond amount is less than $5 million dollars and typically no more than 20 years in length. o Zions, as a Municipal Advisor/fiduciary, prepares a Request for Bid that is submitted to banks that have an interest in acquiring bonds for their investment portfolio. o Bids are summarized and the Town would select the bid that best matches their needs based on rates, fees and call features. o Bonds privately placed will have varying levels of call protection. (Ability to prepay or refinance) o Interest from some banks may be limited due to the size of the Town. ZIONS PUBLIC FINANCE, INC. 47 FUNDING SOURCES ❖ Market Issuance: Bonds are sold in the public market with the assistance of an underwriter. o Market issuance is primarily used when the bond amount is more than $10 million dollars and/or longer than 20 years in length. o Zions, as a Municipal Advisor/fiduciary, would assist the Town through the process of preparing a Preliminary Official Statement (POS), obtaining a bond rating and determining if the bonds should be sold via a competitive or negotiated underwriting. o Bonds sold in the public market will typically be call protected for 10-years. o Interest rates will typically be lower, but costs of issuance are higher as the Town would have the additional costs of preparing the POS, obtaining a bond rating and paying an underwriter to sell the bonds. ZIONS PUBLIC FINANCE, INC. 48 BONDING STEPS ❖ Bonding Steps o Adoption of Parameters Resolution by the Town Council o Notice of Public Hearing & Notice of Intent to Issue Bonds is published (begins 30-day contest period) o Public Hearing is held by Town Council o 30-day Contest Period ends o Bonds are priced o Bond documents are prepared o Bond closing – bonds documents are signed and funds are received * The above timeline is for a private placement or direct purchase. ZIONS PUBLIC FINANCE, INC. 49 TIMING CONSIDERATIONS ❖ Private and Direct Placement: ~60-day process ❖ Utah State Revolving Funds: 6-to-12-month process ❖ Market Issuance: ~90-day process ZIONS PUBLIC FINANCE, INC. 50 Zions Public Finance, Inc.
