Strategic Plan Goal:Environmental Sensibility Infrastructure- Explore opportunities to provide green initiatives. 1 V.2015-2019CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN In 1997, the Village Board formally adopted its first comprehensive five-year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). 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 2016-2020CIP 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 $65.2million. 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. 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 2017-2021. The 2016project requests included in the proposed CIP amount to $11.6million. This amount reflects adecrease of $0.9millionfrom first-year projects in the 2015-2019CIP. Projects included in the first year of the plan includethe annual street resurfacing program, improvements to the water and sewer system, improvements to village buildings, and various equipment purchases. The proposed 2016-2020CIP was distributed on June 12, 2015to the Finance Commission and the Village Board. The CIPis scheduled for considerationby the Village Board at the July 21, 2015Village Board meeting. Departmental representativeswill make a presentation on the projects included in the five-year planand will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion. Strategic Plan:Fiscal Health Governance- Maintain a solid fiscal position through active stewardship of Village finances. Examine the Village’s basic funding structure for long-term sustainability.
