Program Organization As with previous CIP's, this document is arranged by project category (i.e., Streets, Parks, Miscellaneous, Water, and Sewer). Project description sheets providing project details for 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 the Appendix. Unlike previous CIP's this Program does not include the category of "Unfunded" projects. Previously, this category was used for projects that were of interest to the public and/or staff that did not have any or all funding necessary to complete or that the City Council had not yet identified as a project justifying funding. However, with the establishment of the new Council Annual Work Plan process, it it unnecessary to present an "Unfunded" list since it may be inconsistent with the Annual Work Plan. Exhibit A includes a listing of all capital projects included in the Annual Work Plan and the amount of funding allocated to each project. As a result, this Exhibit provides similar information as the former "Unfunded" list. Page 18 of this CIP 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. Exhibit B provides a summary of all projects included in this CIP. 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. 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, staff has focused heavily on funding City Council priorities included in the Annual Work Plan adopted by the Council this March. Exhibit A presents the status all Council priority projects subject to CIP funding. As noted many projects are fully or partially funded. Those without funding have not yet been fully developed or are awaiting further study. Finally, projects not fully funded may utilize the Capital Improvement Reserve (CIPR), which is discussed below, to obtain additional funding.
