About public infrastructure planning and funding
The Capital Improvement Program is a planning tool we use to identify and manage major infrastructure projects over the next 3 years.
About
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) lists the City’s planned capital and infrastructure projects, their funding sources, and how they are prioritized. City departments work together to make sure community needs are included.
We prioritize projects based on recommendations from department directors. Main factors include:
- Life and safety
- Maintenance and repair
- Public and City Council input
The CIP provides a clear, 3-year plan for the City’s expected capital and infrastructure needs.
