The establishment of a formal five-year CIP provides a comprehensive view of the Village’s capital needs for consecutive rolling five-year windows. The CIP also addresses the Government Finance Officers Association best practice recommendation for preparing and adopting a multi-year capital planning strategy. The proposed 2015-2019CIP is generally comprised of projects that involve the purchaseor 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 $64.3 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’scapital needs, it is fitting that all of these project requests be included in the proposed plan. Of the $64.3 million of project requests included in the proposed CIP, $46.1 million, or 71.7%, is for the continuation of established projects including approximately $19.0 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 1 updated on an annual basis. The next CIP will cover the years 2016-2020. 2015project requests included in the proposed CIP amount to $12.5 million. This amount reflects an increase of $1.0 millionfrom first-year projects in the 2014-2018CIP. The increase is due to a fully funded street resurfacing program where the same program had been reduced in the prior year due to funding shortfalls.Other projects included in the first year of the plan include improvements to the water and sewer system, improvements to the downtown area (signage, pedestrian improvements), residential AMR system, and various improvements to village facilities. Of the total projects proposed for 2015, $8.5million (approximately 68%) is for the continuation of established projects. The proposed 2015-2019CIP was distributed on June 20, 2014to the Finance Commission and the Village Board. The CIPis scheduled for acceptance by the Village Board at the July 15, 2014. 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.
