<br />March 11, 2019, Meeting – Item 4 <br />directives by incorporating estimated Greenhouse Gas metrics for CIP projects where feasible. The GHG metrics help quantify the impacts of the City’s infrastructure on the climate. These estimates, along with additional narrative on efforts to reduce emissions by program area, are included in the new GHG Summary section of the document. Changes have also been made to provide more information on specific capital projects within ongoing capital programs. For the first two years of the FY20–25 CIP, the individual capital projects within ongoing capital programs have been provided where feasible. Staff do not always know with certainty which projects within a capital program will be funded, but where possible those projects and related financial and planning information have been provided for FY20 and FY21. This change provides greater transparency for the public, Budget Committee and City Council on individual projects within capital programs and an improved understanding of how the City spends capital budget dollars. This change also enhances the connection between important policy initiatives and more capital projects.

Transportation is the largest portion of the CIP, with approximately $92.1 million of anticipated spending.
