Report
Summary
The Five-Year CIP is a plan for the replacement, expansion and improvement of city infrastructure, facilities and technology used to deliver community services. It is financed from pay-as-you-go funds, property tax and revenue supported bond proceeds, federal and state participation funds, passenger facility charges, customer facility charges, participation by other governmental entities in certain projects, development impact fees, capital grants, capital reserves, solid waste remediation funds and other capital funding sources.
The Preliminary Five-Year CIP was presented to the City Council on March 20, 2018. Overviews of various CIP programs were presented for information, discussion and input at applicable City Council Subcommittee meetings.
The City Charter requires that the Five-Year CIP be adopted by resolution immediately following the advertised public hearing, which this year will take place at the Formal meeting on June 6, 2018.
Adoption of the resolution (Attachment A) does not commit any funds, but represents an endorsement of the CIP as a desirable plan to be accomplished over the next five years. The first year of the CIP is adopted by ordinance as part of the annual budget adoption process, which provides the only authority to commit funds.
