Program Organization As with previous CIP's, this document is arranged by project category (i.e., Streets, Parks, Miscellaneous, Water, Sewer and Unfunded), with project description sheets for multiple year projects appearing only in the year that projects are initially funded. Projects from each of the five funded project categories are found in the sections highlighted by project tabs. Summary financial tables detailing expenditures for each CIP project are included immediately following this Section. Detailed financial tables showing the specific funding sources for all projects are included in Section 1 of the Appendix. This CIP includes a new table located at the end of this Summary Section that presents projects based on project status/type including New Projects, Projects in Preconstruction/Planning Phase, Reserve Projects, Projects submitted for Additional Funding, Maintenance projects and Debt service projects. This table provides a quick view on where CIP dollars are being allocated. The CIP also includes projects that were submitted previously but are being submitted again to request additional funding. Project identification numbers are included on project description sheets and financial tables. The first two digits of these numbers reflect the fiscal year the project was first funded and the additional digits reflect City account numbers. Page numbers identifying each project are included in the table of contents and on the summary financial tables. Development of CIP Recommendations As Council is aware, the CIP is presented to address the City's highest priority capital improvement needs over the next four years. When making decisions regarding project recommendations, staff relies on numerous sources of information. Some of this information, such as data generated through the City's Pavement Management System, is relied upon heavily to develop cost estimates needed to adequately maintain City streets. Other approaches are intended to assure there is adequate revenue to complete active and previously approved projects such as the Renovation of the Veterans Memorial Building and the Firehouse Arts Center which were included in previous CIP's. Also, staffs technical expertise is often utilized to develop the more technically oriented projects such as sewer and water telemetry equipment, water tank maintenance, data processing and other technical areas. In addition to the above, staff conducted a public hearing with each City commission, and the Economic Vitality Committee regarding the identification of CIP projects. As part of this process, staffpresented a detailed listing of potential CIP projects to all City Commissions requesting not only input and recommendations but also public comment. Similar to the process used for previous CIP's, staff provided commissions with a listing of Parks and Miscellaneous CIP projects requested by City departments and projects projected for funding in the 2005-06 CIP. In addition, staff recommended each commission review all CIP projects from the perspective of a City resident as well as a member of their particular commission so that a community perspective is obtained. While the commissions were provided information related to Streets, Water and Sewer projects, these projects were not prioritized by the Commissions unless initiated by the commission. Based on responses from City commissions, the table below lists those projects that at ii
