This plan allows the Commonwealth to establish capital investment priorities throughout its state agencies and to plan for the sourcing of funds required to support these investments. The capital investment programs are managed through seven state agencies and three independent authorities. In addition to direct capital investments, A&F allocates, on behalf of the Commonwealth, federally provided private activity bond volume capacity amongst three independent authorities to finance economic development projects, student loans, affordable housing projects, and low interest mortgages.</p> <h3 class="narr">Expenditures</h3> <p>The Commonwealth is projected to expend $2.78 billion for capital investments in FY06, a $233 million increase from FY05.

The FY06 administrative bond cap is $1.289 billion with total "balance-of-state" spending over $1.6 billion with the inclusion of federal highway dollars.</p> <h3 class="narr">Capital Budgeting Process</h3> <p>The Administration revamped the planning process for the "balance-of-state" capital plan in FY04. Capital planning now requires that state agencies develop budget proposals based on a "modified zero-based budget" paradigm. This paradigm recognizes that many capital investments take multiple years to design and construct. As such, these projects are allocated funds over the life of the project, which sets the baseline capital budgets for the state agencies. All other proposed investments are subject to review by A&F and compete for unallocated funds.</p> <p>In addition to the new budgeting approach, the capital planning process requires state agencies to segment their capital budget proposals by category of spending. These categories are called "Major Program Categories." To augment the budget proposals, state agencies submit memorandums describing these Major Program Categories, including historical spending, project concentration and program outcomes. A&F conducts due diligence on each budget proposal by meeting with each state agency and analyzing the submitted plans.</p> <p>Upon completion of the due diligence process, A&F sets the capital budget and notifies state agencies of their budgets and approved programs/projects. The capital budget is developed based on the following tenets:</p> <ul> <li>"Fix-It-First": An Administration priority to repair the Commonwealth's productive asset base</li> <li>Finishing projects on time and within budget</li> <li>Reimbursing grant recipients on a timely basis</li> <li>Limiting expansion to only core needs</li> <li>Limiting non-capital costs on the capital budget</li> </ul> <h3 class="narr">Commonwealth Capital Group</h3> <p>In FY05, the administration created the "Commonwealth Capital" investment group to better coordinate programs within the capital budget and forge new partnerships with municipalities to achieve "smart growth" outcomes through local planning, zoning, and permitting. A committee comprised of the Office of Commonwealth Development, the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Executive Office of Transportation, and the Executive Office of Administration and Finance evaluate and recommend capital projects for approval to the Secretary of Administration and Finance and the Governor. Projects with higher "Commonwealth Capital" scores are given preference over projects that score lower. </p> <p>For FY06, ANF has allocated $97 million to the following "Commonwealth Capital" programs:</p> <ul> <li>Land Acquisition programs</li> <li>Affordable Housing Trust</li> <li>Housing Stabilization Fund</li> <li>Capital Improvement Preservation Fund</li> <li>Transit Node Housing</li> <li>Public Works Economic Development Grants</li> <li>Off-Street Parking</li> <li>Community Development Actions Grants</li> <li>Transit Oriented Development</li> </ul> <h3 class="narr">FY06 Capital Budget</h3> <p>A&F approved a $1.642 billion "balance-of-state" capital budget (including federal reimbursements) for FY06.

The agency oversees all state-assisted public and private housing programs for low- and moderate-income families and individuals, including the elderly and others with specialized residential needs, and provides a variety of economic and community development services to local governments.</p> <p>Oversight responsibilities include the state's 254 local housing authorities and their more than 50,000 public housing units, and private housing programs that provide affordable homeownership and rental opportunities in the private sector. In cooperation with the federal government, other state and local agencies, and private sector entities, DHCD is also responsible for implementing and monitoring the delivery of federal and state anti-poverty services, neighborhood economic development, homelessness prevention, and fuel assistance and weatherization programs across the Commonwealth.</p> <p>In keeping with the Governor's "Fix-It-First" policy, the investment strategy for housing includes such initiatives as "Redevelop First" and "Communities First" - fostering the rehabilitation and reuse of existing infrastructure and facilities in town centers and neighborhoods near public transportation rather than promoting new construction in undeveloped areas.</p> <p>Housing programs funded in the current five-year capital investment plan support private-public partnerships to develop affordable housing, including in distressed neighborhoods, and community-based special-needs housing. The investment also funds maintenance and improvements of the state's aging public housing stock as well as economic development grants to attract and leverage private investment that will stimulate economic development in blighted areas.</p> <h3 class="narr">Information Technology</h3>  <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" title="Information Technology Balance-of-State Budget" summary="capital budget allocations for Information Technology from FY01 through FY06"> <tr> <th valign="bottom" align="center">($ MM)</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">FY01</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">FY02</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">FY03</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">FY04</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">FY05</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">FY06E</th> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" class="label">Total</td> <td valign="top" align="right">$64</td> <td valign="top" align="right">$86</td> <td valign="top" align="right">$76</td> <td valign="top" align="right">$75</td> <td valign="top" align="right">$61</td> <td valign="top" align="right">$90</td> </tr> </table> <p>The Information Technology Division (ITD) capital investment plan funds projects that further the Administration's goal of making government more efficient, convenient, and accessible for the Commonwealth's citizens.

Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge), and constructing a third tunnel (the Ted Williams Tunnel) under Boston harbor that extends Interstate 90 (the Massachusetts Turnpike) to Logan International Airport and Route 1A. The depression of the Central Artery creates more than 260 acres of open land and reconnects downtown Boston to the city's waterfront.</p> <p>Their project has reached substantial completion, defined as the opening in their final alignments of the new tunnels and bridges and the ramps connecting them to surface roadways. Remaining work includes surface restoration, including completion of the downtown surface street system and the construction of parks.</p> <h2 class="narr">School Building Assistance</h2> <p>To address substantial need for school building projects across the state, the Commonwealth has created the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). Prior to establishment of the authority, the Commonwealth reimbursed cities, towns and regional school districts across the state for 50 to 90 percent of the construction and borrowing costs of approved school projects. The authority is now responsible for paying the state's share of costs for the 748 school projects that had been receiving state reimbursement and for an additional 425 projects that the Department of Education had approved for funding, though they had not yet begun to receive any reimbursement from the Commonwealth. The MSBA estimates its share of the costs associated with these 425 school projects to be in excess of $5.5 billion.</p> <p>Starting on July 1, 2007, the MSBA will also be permitted to accept new applications for school renovation and construction projects and to fund them. The school building reform legislation also switches borrowing responsibility from local governments to the MSBA for the state's share of future school project costs, authorizes the authority to borrow up to $10 billion to meet its obligations, and limits the authority's grant making to $500 million in fiscal 2008 with 4.5% increases in each subsequent fiscal year.</p> <p>The MSBA will receive funds from the state sales tax to fund its projects and operations. Beginning in FY 2011, the authority will receive one cent of the state sales tax, excluding certain meals and special financing district sales taxes. (This portion of sales tax receipts is referred to as the "dedicated sales tax.") Until then, state sales tax revenue will be diverted to the authority in the following percentages and amounts: $395.7 million in fiscal 2005; 70% of the Dedicated Sales Tax, with a minimum of $488.7 million, in fiscal 2006; 78% of the Dedicated Sales Tax, with a minimum of $557.4 million, in fiscal 2007; 85% of the Dedicated Sales Tax, with a minimum of $634.7 million, in fiscal 2008; 90% of the Dedicated Sales Tax, with a minimum of $702.3 million, in fiscal 2009; and 95% of the Dedicated Sales Tax in fiscal 2010.</p> <p>In addition, the Commonwealth provided start-up funding for the authority through a $150 million appropriation from the FY 2004 state surplus and $1 billion in state general obligation bonds.</p> <h2 class="narr">Reauthorization and Deauthorization</h2> <p>For the past several years, the Commonwealth has maintained a substantial level of authorized but unissued debt. The Administration's capital management policies include the careful scrutiny of authorized debt and the deauthorization of unnecessary commitments wherever possible. Authorized but unissued debt was $9.5 billion on June 30, 2005.</p> <p style="font-size: smaller; font-style: italic;">$ millions</p>  <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" title="Debt Reauthorization and Deauthorization"> <tr> <th valign="bottom" align="right">FY</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">July 1, <br>Authorized <br>and <br>Unissued</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">New Author-<br>izations</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">Deauthor-<br>izations</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">Debt Issued*</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">Lapsed <br>Author-<br>izations</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">Contri-<br>butions in <br>lieu of <br>Bonds</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">June 30, <br>Authorized <br>and <br>Unissued</th> <th valign="bottom" align="center">Net Change</th> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" align="right">2005</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"> $ 6,828</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"> $ 4,041</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"> $ (8)</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"> $ (1,354)</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"> $ -
