these projects can now be merged into one category. This should benefit the public which is now able to easily identify all Pazks projects. The project description sheets have been modified to include the funding recommendation for each individual project. As a result, when reviewing a project description sheet, the viewer will be able to identify the funding status for that particular project without referring to financial tables. In addition to the above, it should be pointed out that many of the map pages have been reproduced in color which is intended to improve the overall appearance of the program. This color printing is possible as a result of the City's acquisition of a color copier which was included in last yeaz's operating budget. It is anticipated that the changes made to this program will provide the additional information needed to accurately track projects and present CIP activity in a clear and concise manner. DEVELOPMENT OF CIP RECOMMENDATIONS As Council is aware, the CIP is presented to address the City's highest priority capital project needs over the next five 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 Program, is relied on heavily to develop estimates of the costs needed to adequately maintain City streets. Other approaches are intended to assure that there is adequate revenue to complete active and previously approved projects such as, the municipal golf course, the Alviso Adobe Community Park, Fire Station #4 and the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department Administration Building headquarters, which were included in previous CIP's. Also, staff s technical expertise is often utilized to develop the more technically oriented projects such as, sewer and water telemetry equipment, water tank maintenance, storm drain maintenance and expansion, data processing and other technical areas. In addition to the above, staff has spent considerable time receiving public input as well as City commissions on specific CIP projects. To this end, in January of this yeaz, City staff prepared a listing of all currently unfunded projects which was forwarded to each City commissioner with a request that they identify the highest priority projects for funding in this CIP. Following the tabulation of those results, which aze included in Section 3 of the Appendix, public meetings were held with each City commission during which the public was invited to comment on individual projects. Following public comment, each City commission was asked to identify those projects which the majority of the commission felt were of highest priority. As indicated in the following table and in more detail in Section 3 of the Appendix, this CIP includes funding for a significant number of highest priority projects as identified by at least two of the City's eight commissions. iii
