Program Organization <br />As with previous CIP's, this document is arranged by project category (i.e., Streets, Parks, <br />Miscellaneous, Water, and Sewer). Project description sheets providing project details for each of the <br />five funded project categories are found in the sections highlighted by project tabs. Summary financial <br />tables detailing expenditures for each CIP project are included immediately following this Section. <br />Detailed financial tables showing the specific funding sources for all projects are included in the <br />Appendix. <br />Unlike previous CIP's this Program does not include the category of "Unfunded" projects. Previously, <br />this category was used for projects that were of interest to the public and/or staff that did not have any or <br />all funding necessary to complete or that the City Council had not yet identified as a project justifying <br />funding. However, with the establishment of the new Council Annual Work Plan process, it it <br />unnecessary to present an "Unfunded" list since it may be inconsistent with the Annual Work Plan. <br />Exhibit A includes a listing of all capital projects included in the Annual Work Plan and the amount of <br />funding allocated to each project. As a result, this Exhibit provides similar information as the former <br />"Unfunded" list. <br />Page 18 of this CIP includes projects that were submitted previously but are being submitted again to <br />request additional funding. <br />Project identification numbers are included on project description sheets and financial tables. The first <br />two digits of these numbers reflect the fiscal year the project was first funded and the additional digits <br />reflect City account numbers. Page numbers identifying each project are included in the table of <br />contents and on the summary financial tables. Exhibit B provides a summary of all projects included in <br />this CIP. <br />Development of CIP Recommendations <br />As Council is aware, the CIP is presented to address the City's highest priority capital improvement <br />needs over the next four years. When making decisions regarding project recommendations, staff relies <br />on numerous sources of information. Some of this information, such as data generated through the <br />City's Pavement Management System, is relied upon heavily to develop cost estimates needed to <br />adequately maintain City streets. Also, staffs technical expertise is often utilized to develop the more <br />technically oriented projects such as sewer and water telemetry equipment, water tank maintenance, data <br />processing and other technical areas. In addition, staff has focused heavily on funding City Council <br />priorities included in the Annual Work Plan adopted by the Council this March. Exhibit A presents the <br />status all Council priority projects subject to CIP funding. As noted many projects are fully or partially <br />funded. Those without funding have not yet been fully developed or are awaiting further study. Finally, <br />projects not fully funded may utilize the Capital Improvement Reserve (CIPR), which is discussed <br />below, to obtain additional funding. <br />
