Capital Improvement Projects

The capital improvement program (CIP) is a five year plan for the evaluation of the City's facility and infrastructure needs. It serves as a guide for construction and development of the City's infrastructure asset base in the most cost efficient manner possible and is the result of a systematic review of each project as it relates to the community goals and the established priority scheme, maximizing the use of all financial resources.

While the program serves as a long range plan, it is reviewed annually and revised based on current circumstances and opportunities. Priorities may be changed due to grant opportunities or circumstances that caused a more rapid deterioration of an asset resulting in a liability issue.

Projects may be new construction, rehabilitation of existing facilities or infrastructure or improvements to existing facilities or infrastructure in excess of $50,000 annually (i.e., dam rehabilitation, street overlays, major remodel of a City building, new soccer fields). Below is Public Work’s budget for the 2012 CIP program:
