EUGENE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Action: FY06-FY11 Draft Capital Improvement Program Meeting Date: April 11, 2005 Agenda Item Number: 6 Department: Central Services Staff Contact: Patty Boyle www. cl. eugene, or. us Contact Telephone Number: 682-8417 ISSUE STATEMENT This item is a request for the council to take action on the Draft FY06 - FY11 Capital Improvement Program. BACKGROUND The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a planning document that forecasts the City's capital needs over a six-year period based on various City-adopted, long-range plans, goals and policies. The Capital Improvement Program for the Airport, Parks and Open Space, Public Buildings and Facilities, Stormwater, Transportation and Wastewater totals approximately $387 million in funded and unfunded projects. The Funding Overview on pages 11-14 of the document contains tables summarizing all CIP projects in the plan and a two-year funding summary. The goals of the CIP are to: · Provide a balanced program for capital improvements given anticipated revenues over a six-year planning period; · Illustrate unmet capital needs which are beyond the capacity of anticipated funding levels, and; · Provide a plan for capital improvements which can be used in preparing the capital budgets for the coming two fiscal years. The underlying strategy of the CIP is to plan for land acquisition, construction, and major preservation of public facilities necessary for the safe and efficient provision of services. A critical element of a balanced CIP is the provision of funds to preserve or enhance existing facilities and provide new assets that will aid response to service needs and community growth. CIP Development and Review During the summer and early 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, etc. On December 13, 2004, the Planning Commission held a work session on the Draft CIP. Staff responded to questions from commissioners regarding projects at the Airport, the proposed Patterson Street Underpass, the location of the proposed replacement of City Hall and the status of a variety of transportation projects. Commissioners were also interested in the on-going discussion regarding the acquisition of land to develop a community park in the Santa Clara area. L:\CMO\2005 Council Agendas\M050411\S0504116.doc
