Several projects are also anticipated over the next six years in the Public Buildings and Facilities category. The approximately $29.6 million of funded projects in this category are mainly for preservation and maintenance of existing City facilities. This category also contains several placeholder projects, including City Hall Replacement, Police Patrol Facility and Police Special Operations Facility. $13.3 million of improvements to the Stormwater system are planned in this CIP.
