Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Years 2013-14 through 2017-18

Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Years 2013-14 through 2017-18

Preparation of the Fiscal Year 2013-14 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is now underway.  A CIP is a five-year plan for financing major public assets based on City-adopted master plans, goals and policies.  The purpose of a CIP is to match scarce financial resources with the capital needs of a growing community and to preserve or enhance existing capital assets to provide efficient city services.  A capital project creates, improves, replaces, repairs or permanently adds to City assets including:  land, site improvements, parks, buildings, streets, bike paths, bridges, utility improvements and major equipment and hardware purchases.

Once the Preliminary CIP Report has been submitted to the City Council in December 2012, the report will be made available online for public review and comment.  Individuals and Neighborhood Associations can participate in the capital planning process by reviewing the Preliminary CIP, providing testimony at the public hearing, and alerting staff to new issues that may require a capital project.  The 2012/13-2016/17 Capital Improvement Plan and Issue Identification Form  are just a few of the resources you will find on the Capital Improvements Program Web Page.
