Capital Improvement Projects for 2006 - 2011
I am pleased to submit the preliminary 2006-2011 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for your consideration.
The City adopted its first six-year Capital Improvement Plan in December of 1985. Each year this Plan is updated to add a year of programming and to make any needed adjustments to the previously adopted portion of the Plan. When the Council completes reviewing this CIP and adopts it in regular session, it will be used by the Administration in preparation of the 2006 Budget.
Earlier this year, I asked departments to prepare their requests for the updated Plan. They submitted their capital needs, prioritized them, and recommended sources of funds and scheduling. These were subsequently reviewed and, in certain cases, adjusted to fit expected funding and relative priority.
This year’s Plan identifies six capital expenditure categories: $5.2 million of General Municipal Projects; $19.4 million of Parks Projects; $8.0 million of Public Works Operations Projects; $131.4 million of Street Projects; $13.6 million of Sewer Projects; $25.6 million of Water Projects; and $7.0 million of Stormwater Projects. Overall, $210.2 million of miscellaneous projects and outlays are listed. This is obviously a great deal more than can be funded from traditional sources. The purpose of submitting all projects is to provide Council, the policymakers, with a broad array of needs for consideration.
The Administration is available to answer any questions concerning this Plan and to help coordinate the remaining process leading to Council adopting of the final CIP.
Council may also wish to address the basic policy statements with respect to capital funding. They were developed several years ago and may no longer represent your current thinking. These statements are included (see Attachment 1).
Sincerely,
Ava Frisinger, Mayor
