IV. 2010-2014 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
In 1997, the Village Board formally adopted its first comprehensive 5-year Capital
Improvements Plan (CIP). In previous years, the Village used a number of separate
documents in its capital projects planning. While each of these documents was
useful in its own right, none offered an overall picture of the Village's capital needs.
The establishment of a formal 5-year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) provides a
comprehensive view of the Village's capital needs for consecutive rolling five-
year windows.
The proposed 2010-2014 CIP is generally comprised of projects that involve the
purchase or construction of long-lived, tangible assets at a cost of $25,000 or more.
The total cost of all requests for all years included in the plan is approximately $44.9
million.
Many of the requests in the plan are simply continuations of established projects.
Others are projects not currently in progress but have been discussed by the Village
Board on previous occasions. Some requests are being presented for the first time
through the CIP. Given that the CIP is intended to afford a comprehensive view of
the Village's capital needs, it is fitting that all of these project requests be included in
the proposed plan. Of the $44.9 million of project requests included in the proposed
CIP, $35.4 million, or 78.6%, is for the continuation of established projects including
approximately $14.1 million for street resurfacing.

A project's inclusion in the CIP does not guarantee its funding and accomplishment.
The CIP is a planning document. As such, it is subject to change. The CIP is
reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The next CIP will cover the years 2011
through 2015.
2010 project requests included in the proposed CIP amount to $7.8 million. This is
a decrease of $14.2 million from first-year projects in the 2009-2013 CIP. First-year
projects in 2009 included Phase I costs associated with the construction of a
replacement Fire Station #14, Public Works Expansion and an Emergency
Operations Center. In 2010, the Street Improvement Program accounts for $1.9
million and Combined Sewer Improvements account for $1.0 million of the first year
total. Of the total projects proposed for 2010, $6.3 million (80.3%) is for the
continuation of established projects including $3.25 million for the street program.
The proposed 2010-2014 CIP was distributed on June 5, 2009 to the Finance
Commission and the Village Board. The Finance Commission held a meeting on
June 25, 2009 to review the proposed document. Once the Committee of the
Whole completes its review of the proposed 2010-2014 CIP, it will be presented to
the Village Board for formal acceptance on July 21,2009.
Staff will make a presentation on the projects included in the five-year plan and will
be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion
