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 data concerning infrastructure, facility and large equipment needs, costs, timing, funding sources and budget impacts and alternatives.
The 2009-2013 Capital Improvements Program represents the first step in development of the 2009 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 2009-2013 CIP was first presented to the Governing Body at the Dec. 17, 2007 Committee of the Whole meeting. In February 2008, the 2009-2013 CIP was adopted by the City Council for budget planning purposes.
- Adopted 2009-2013 CIP (February 2008)
The 2009-2013 CIP totals $244.7 million. Improvements to street infrastructure in the city comprise 80.2 percent of the total plan expenditures. Other infrastructure represents 6.3 percent of total expenditures. The remaining 13.6 percent of the recommended improvements are represented by expenditures on parks, public facilities and equipment.
The 2009-2013 CIP includes $68.5 million of funding for projects to be constructed and/or financed in 2009. Some of the projects included will have begun prior to 2009, but will be completed and therefore financed in 2009.
City funding sources, including sales tax, debt and pay-as-you-go resources from the city's Capital Improvements Fund, will pay for 63.4 percent of plan funding. The remaining 36.7 percent will be provided by non-city sources, including federal, state, county, other city and developer funding.
As part of development, review and adoption of the 2009 operating Budget, the 2009-2013 CIP is being updated. The updated plan was presented to the Committee of the Whole for review, along with the proposed 2009 Budget, on June 2, 2008.
