Operating Impacts (Routine or Recurring Annually)

Smart Shuttle: A shared shuttle service that will address public transportation needs within and around Morrisville by serving customers at fifteen identified nodes (designated pickup and drop-off locations) based on a request for service over the telephone, internet, or smart phone application. The service will be provided through a service agreement with GoCary at no cost to the customer via daily routes during both peak and non-peak hours. Annual costs include capital/start-up costs, capital expenditures for technology and node infrastructure at some locations and annual operating costs. Five-year costs are projected to be $3,363,000, offset 50% by the Wake Transit Community Funding Agreement matching grant (net $1,681,500 over 5 years). Connect Morrisville > Improved transportation mobility and Operational excellence Multiple Objectives. Parks and Recreation Program Support: Programmatic items for several key initiatives to be incorporated into base budget/ongoing operations. Connect Morrisville > Engaged include community and Operational excellence Multiple Objectives. • Cultural Programs – Implementation of a comprehensive program of cultural programming including support of one major festival annually. This request would also allow for some collaborative programs with outside organizations. Costs include staff, equipment, supplies and advertising/promotion for various events. • Food Hub Programs – Utilization of the Healthy Food Hub open space for public events and activities. Activities would be held in conjunction with the Farmer’s Market on Saturdays and other days and times throughout the year. This request includes the provision of arts and crafts vendor fairs, music/entertainment, food vendors and kid’s activities. Costs include staff and an allowance for collaborative programs at the Food Hub location. • MAFC Pool Maintenance Contract – Contracted professional maintenance of the new pool pump, filtration, chlorination and water treatment systems. These systems are mechanically and technologically advanced well beyond the previous pool systems and experience/expertise of staff. The contractor will perform daily water and air quality checks, inspect the system, and perform regular maintenance and minor repairs as needed. • Preschool Program Expansion – Expansion of the current schedule of “Ready Set Go” program to provide relief to typical long wait lists. This opportunity has become available due to the planned relocation of senior programs that are currently using space needed for this second session. Costs include hiring staff needed to support the doubling of the program and related supplies for program activities. The cost of this initiative is offset by new program revenue. Recycling Cost Increase: Additional recycling costs related to the significant reduction in commodity markets needed to generate revenues to offset recycling program costs and avoid drastic changes to or reductions in Town recycling programs. This is a nationwide challenge. Additional costs are based on the number of households and tonnage projected for the year. A comprehensive review of options is underway for discussion during FY2021.
