About the Capital Improvement Program
The Town of Atherton’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) summarizes anticipated resources and their estimated uses for major infrastructure and other capital construction, improvement, and maintenance projects.
The CIP is a five-year planning tool that identifies anticipated capital improvements and their funding sources from fiscal years 2026/27 through 2030/31. The CIP does not appropriate funds, but rather, it functions as a budgeting and planning tool which supports appropriationsthat are made through adoption of the annual budget. The CIP is updated annually to reflect the latest community priorities, infrastructure master plans, completed projects, updated project cost estimates and available revenue sources.
Master Plans
The City Council commissioned several Master Plans and studies, starting in FY 2012-13, to become well informed on the status of the Town’s infrastructure needs. These master plans, evaluations and studies are for the following Town-owned infrastructure:
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
• Holbrook-Palmer Park Master Plan
• Civic Center Master Plan
• Storm Drainage Master Plan
• Pavement Management Program Update
• Neighborhood Traffic Management Action Plan
• Local Roadway Safety Plan
• Street Light Inventory
Several oftheseMaster Planswill be updated overthe nextfew years. The CIP incorporates the recommendations from these Plans, and associated updates, along with other input including resident requests, and Council prioritiesto identify and describe capital projects that will be of long-term benefit to the residents. As such, the programs and projects enclosed in this CIP are dedicated to enhancing accessibility, safety, and the built environment throughout the Town by targeting various transportation, drainage, park, and facilities improvements.
Attachment 4
Capital Improvement Program
Fiscal Years 2026/27 through 2030/31
4 The CIP projects were selected based on the following factors:
• Implementation of the Town’s General Plan Guidelines
• Council and Community direction
• Implementation of accepted and approved Master Plan recommendations • Implementation of Facilities’ planning and priorities • Maintenance needs of roadways and safety of roadway users • Ability to improve transportation deficiencies
• Drainage facilities improvement needs
The five-year CIP identifies the highest priority capital needsthat can be addressed within the available and forecasted revenue. These capital needs are matched to their eligible funding consisting of the previous year’s fund balances and five-year revenue projections identified by the Finance department.
CIP Document Organization
The CIP is organized to serve two primary purposes. First, it describesfunding sources and discusses their sources and uses. Next, it provides a description of the planned transportation, drainage, park, and facility capital improvements developed through an examination of the Town’s capital needs.
As such this CIP is organized into three parts.
I. Introduction: This provides an overview of the purposes of the Capital Improvement Program.
II. Detail of Funding Sources and Revenues: This section describes the anticipated funding and revenue sources supporting the projects and programs contained in this CIP.
III. CIP Project List and Budgeting Schedule: Thissection provides a detailed overview of the projects and budgeting of project expenditures in relation to available forecasted funding over the next five years.

6 II. FUNDING DESCRIPTIONS
The Town ’s Capital Projects contained in this CIP are financed through a variety of funding and revenue sources. These funding sources may include:
General Fund
Gas Tax
Atherton Channel Fund
Atherton Library Fund
Atherton Library Fund
Measure A
Measure M
Measure W
General Fund (Capital Improvement)
The General Fund provides funding for the Town’s general programs and day-today operations. This includes Town management, administration, parks and recreation operations, public works operations, law enforcement, trash hauling, special operational programs, planning, and general Town services.
When accounting for General Fund use, the fund description on the individual project pages are listed as Capital Improvement. Each year, the Budget allocates funds from the General Fund to the Capital Improvement Fund. The intent is to budget annually a certain amount from the General Fund to address Town priorities. The Capital Improvement Fund also recognizes current and anticipated grant allocations and expenditures.
Measure A
Measure A is a voter approved half-cent sales tax for countywide transportation projects and programs. In 2009, county voters overwhelmingly approved a reauthorization of Measure A through 2033.
The purpose of these funds are to maintain localstreets and roads, repair potholes and sidewalks, develop alternative transportation options such as bicycling and pedestrian programs, and to develop and implement traffic operations and safety projects.
Measure A dollars are distributed on a formula allocation based on population and the number of road-miles. The Town receives approximately $370,000 annually through Measure A.

Capital Improvement Program
Fiscal Years 2026/27 through 2030/31
7 Measure M
Approved by voters in November 2010, the Congestion Management Agency for San Mateo County levies a $10 registration fee on vehiclesregistered in San Mateo County. This Measure is set to expire in 2035.
These funds help to maintain neighborhood streets, fix potholes, provide transportation options, improve traffic circulation, reduce congestion, reduce water pollution from oil and gas runoff, and provide safe routes to schools.
Approximately 50% of Measure M revenues fund Countywide Transportation Programs, and the other 50% is formula-allocated to local agencies. The Town receives approximately $75,000 per year from Measure M.
Measure W
Approved by voters in November 2018, Measure W is a half-cent sales tax on qualified retail transactions for use on transportation improvements and maintain affordable transit. This Measure is set to expire in 30 years (2048).
The distribution of funds are shaped by the San Mateo County Congestion Relief Plan. The Plan includes the five (5) following investment categories:
• Countywide Highway Congestion Improvements
• Local safety, pothole and congestion relief improvements • Bicycle and pedestrian improvements
• Regional Transit Connections
• County public transportation improvements.
Ten percent (10%) of the annual revenue is allocated to the County of San Mateo and the cites of the County for transportation investments using a distribution formula that is based 50% on population and 50% on road miles (adjusted annually). The Town’s allocation of the Measure W funds is approximately 1.74% of the City/County distribution, which is projected to be approximately $145,000.
The Town may use Measure W funds for street paving and pothole repair, bicycle/pedestrian safety projects, promoting alternative modes of transportation, planning and implementing traffic and safety projects including Attachment 4
Capital Improvement Program

8 signal coordination, and implementing advanced technologies and communications of the roadway system.
Gas Tax
The Town receives a formula allocation of funds based upon population and lane miles. In FY 2026-27 the Town will receive approximately $216,000 in regular Gas Tax revenues. This amount is augmented with additional revenues from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1). Effective November 1, 2017, the gasoline excise tax was increased to 12 cents per gallon and the excise tax on diesel was increased 20 cents per gallon. SB 1 also increased the vehicle registration tax effective January 1, 2018, and an additional vehicle registration tax will be applied to zero emission vehicles effective July 1, 2020. As a result, the total Gas Tax allocations to the Town is expected to be approximately $190,000 in FY 2026/27.
With the proposed funding through the Capital Improvements Program,the Town will be able to achieve the Maintenance of Effort requirements to continue to receive SB1 funds. A portion of these funds are used to cover overhead and management of maintenance activities.
Atherton Channel Fund
Fees collected by the Town to finance drainage and related improvements/repairs and environmental monitoring for those portions of the Channel for which the Town is responsible.
Atherton Library Fund
In 1999 the San Mateo County Library Joint Powers Authority (JPA) wasformed to assist in governing library funds accumulated through Proposition 13 in 1978, which sets aside a proportion of assessed property values to fund California libraries. Under the JPA, jurisdictions retain a portion of the excess funds generated from the jurisdiction’s property taxes once basic library services are met. The Atherton Library Fund is an accumulation of revenue in excess of annual operating costs.

16 Project Type: Streets & Transportation
Project Name: Road Maintenance Program - #56003
Project Description: This is an annual program
combining patching, sealing and overlays to maintain
roads in a cost-effective manner. Every two
years, an engineering survey of pavement condition is
performed by independent assessors, who determine
a pavement condition index (PCI) and recommend
specific maintenance strategies for each road. Staff
analyzes the data, conducts physical inspections, and
recommends an annual program to cost-effectively maintain roads. The funds proposed for this program include the allocation of SB-1, Gas Tax, Measures A, M and W, and Capital Improvement Funds in the amount of $1,455,000 for FY 2026/27.
Funds associated with the Roadway Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) approved through SB-1 in 2017 are subject to maintenance of effort requirements which is supported by the proposed Capital Improvement funds in the current and future years.
In November, streets are identified based on their PCI index. Staff also conducts visual assessments and identifies other street rehabilitation priorities. Special attention is paid to roadside drainage systems to ensure that the edges of the pavement do not create situations that could be hazardous to pedestrians or impede drainage. • Two-inch grind and overlay (on various streets throughout Town) • Maintenance Dig-outs (on various streets throughout Town) • Cape Seal/Slurry Seal (on various streets throughout Town) Attachment 4
