Department Recommendation: Provide City Council with the first of several presentations of the City's draft Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget and provide directions as appropriate.

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) presents a six-year plan. The first two fiscal years (FY 2026/27 and FY 2027/28) are proposed for adoption and appropriation. Four additional years are included for planning purposes only to assist the City Council in understanding future project needs and the near-term impacts of policy and funding decisions. Only the first two years will be appropriated in the proposed two-year budget and therefore warrant the greatest level of review.
