He said the City updated its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) every two years. The purpose of the work session was to provide an opportunity to review the Draft CIP and asked questions of staff prior to the scheduled public hearing on December 12, 2006 and action on December 18, 2006. The Planning Commission would forward its recommendation, along with comments and suggested changes to the Draft to the Budget Committee and City Council. The CIP for fiscal years (FY) 2008-2013 (08-13) had been updated in accordance with the Budget Committee recommendations on reformatting the document. The Executive Summary represented an overview of the CIP. The Reader’s Guide detailed the document structure, changes to the document, and outlined the CIP process and public input opportunities. The Financial Summary section had been added to provide a view of the funding. The Airport through Wastewater sections contained individual project pages providing detailed narrative and funding information. Mr. Huberd distributed two documents: Replacement Transportation section index and map of Transportation projects, pages 185 and 186; Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Planning Process diagram. Mr. Huberd explained the CIP had been reviewed by the Neighborhood Leaders’ Council (NLC), and neighborhood specific articles had been provided to each of the neighborhood newsletter editors for publication in early 2007. He stated most of the proposed projects had been through other review processes. He added staff were available to attend neighborhood meetings to discuss the CIP.
