PUBLIC HEARING and POSSIBLE ACTION: FY06-FYll Draft Capital Improvement Program Councilor Poling stated that no action would be taken on this item at Councilor Papa's request. City Manager Taylor explained that this was the public hearing on the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that had been discussed by the Budget Committee. He asked Patty Boyle, Senior Management Analyst for the Finance and Court Services Division of the Central Services Department to speak to the CIP. Ms. Boyle said the CIP was developed by compiling the capital projects found in adopted long-range plans and in the context of the City's long-range goals and policies. She further explained that the CIP was a planning document that provided policy-makers with a view of the anticipated capital investment in the City's infrastructure over the next six years and that it also acted as a basis for the proposed capital budget, though it did not authorize the spending of any funds. Ms. Boyle stated that copies of the CIP were posted to the Web site and were distributed to the chairs of all of the neighborhood associations, as well as the Planning Commission, the Budget Committee, and all interested parties. She noted that an opportunity to have a staff presentation on the CIP had been made to all neighborhood associations and opportunities to comment on the CIP were advertised in The Register- Guard and the Eugene Weekly. All public testimony was included in the council material packets for the current meeting. Ms. Boyle pointed out that both the Planning Commission and the Budget Committee had completed their review of the CIP and had recommended approval of it with amendments. She encouraged the council to identify any questions that might arise so that they could be adequately addressed prior to action on the item, now scheduled for March 7.
