Projects include preservation and maintenance of existing City facilities such as the Hult Center and Parking Garages. The Stormwater system is planning to invest $13.5 million on improvements in this CIP. A major new project is the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Facility Removal, which is prompted by new Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) requirements to remove stormwater drywells. Other projects include various streambank and outfall stabilization projects, restoration and enhancement of the wetlands in West Eugene, and ongoing stream corridor acquisition. The City’s Wastewater system is scheduled to spend $13.1 million on capital projects in the next six years. Included in these improvements is $12.1 million to preserve and rehabilitate the aging wastewater system, decrease inflow and infiltration and address increased wet weather flows. The Parks and Open Space program is anticipating about $6.6 million of improvements during the CIP period. Of this amount, $3.7 million is dedicated to preservation and maintenance of existing park assets, while $2.0 million will be used for neighborhood and community park land acquisition supported by the Parks System Development Charges (SDC) revenues. Unfunded Projects Also included in the CIP are projects totaling $162.1 million for which funding has not been identified. Transportation projects continue to reflect significant need for additional funding. The CIP includes approximately $98.3 million of unfunded transportation projects that would upgrade and enhance capacity and preserve and maintain existing assets, as well as build new bike paths, collectors and other improvements. The Public Buildings and Facility category contains approximately $38.6 million in unfunded projects. Parks and Open Space category has $15.5 million in unfunded projects. CIP Development and Review In the fall of even-numbered years, staff compiles the Draft CIP using input and requests from a variety of sources, including neighborhood groups, individual citizens, adopted plans and policies. The draft CIP document was made available on the City’s web site in mid-January of 2011. Information about the draft FY 2012-17 CIP was also sent electronically to all of the neighborhood association chairs and co-chairs, as well as the representatives of the Neighborhood Leaders Council (NLC). Hard copies of the draft CIP were made available to the public at all Library locations, the Finance Division, and the City Manager’s Office. On February 2, 2011, the Budget Committee reviewed and discussed the draft CIP. The Budget Committee approved a motion to recommend that the council adopt the draft CIP, with 12 members in favor, one opposed, and one abstaining. \\Cesrv500\cc support\CMO\2011 Council Agendas\M110222\S1102221.doc
