• Adopted 2008-2012 CIP (.pdf file)

The city's Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is a five-year plan to forecast future public improvements and facilities in the city and to provide provide data concerning infrastructure, facility and large equipment needs, costs, timing, funding sources and budget impacts and alternatives. 

The 2008-2012 Capital Improvements Program represents the first step in development of the 2008 operating budget and five-year financial plan, as both the capital improvements plan and budget are developed in the context of the city's five-year expenditure and revenue forecast.

The 2008-2012 CIP was first presented to the Governing Body at a Committee of the Whole meeting in December, 2006. It was first approved by the Governing Body in February 2007 for 2008 budget planning purposes.

The 2008-2012 CIP totals $246.7 million. Improvements to street and traffic infrastructure in the city comprise 82 percent of the total plan expenditures. Other infrastructure represents four percent of total expenditures. The remaining 14 percent of the recommended improvements are represented by expenditures on public facilities and equipment.

The 2008-2012 CIP includes $42 million of funding for projects to be constructed and/or financed in 2008. Some of the projects included will have begun prior to 2008, but will be completed and therefore financed in 2008.

City funding sources, including debt and pay-as-you-go resources from the city's Capital Improvements Fund, will pay for 48 percent of plan funding. The remaining 52 percent will be provided by non-city sources, including federal, state, county, other city and developer funding.
