IV. 2007-2011 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 ofthese documents was useful in its
own right, none offered an overall picture of the Village's capital needs. The establishment
of a 5-year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) provides a comprehensive view of the Village's
capital needs for consecutive rolling five-year windows.
The proposed 2007-2011 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 $48.6 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 $48.6
million of project requests included in the proposed CIP, $32.2 million (or 66.3%) is for the
continuation of established projects including approximately $14.9 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 2008 through 2012.
NOTE: ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD LIKE TO A TTEND THIS MEETING BUT BECAUSE OF A
DISABILITY NEEDS SOME ACCOMMODATION TO PARTICIPATE, SHOULD CONTACT THE
VILLAGE MANAGER'S OFFICE A T 50 SOUTH EMERSON, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS 60056,
847/392-6000, EXTENSION 5327, TDD #847/392-6064.
2007 project requests included in the proposed CIP amount to $13.9 million, an increase of
$4.7 from the first year projects in the 2006-2010 CIP. This is mainly due to the Fire Station
#14 and Public Works Expansion projects totaling $4.95 million. Of the $13.9 million
proposed for 2007, $7.4 million (53%) is for the continuation of established projects including
$2.9 million for the street program. It should be noted that approximately $2.95 million in
capital projects scheduled between 2002-2006 have been deferred to out years while the
Village Board and Administration work to develop a permanent funding source for such
projects. Reserves in the Capital Improvement Fund, the fund that supports these mid-level
capital projects is expected to be depleted by the end of 2007.
The proposed 2007-2011 CIP was distributed on June 9, 2006 to the Finance Commission
and the Village Board. The Finance Commission held a meeting on June 22,2006 to review
the proposed document. Copies of the draft minutes from the Commission's meetings will
be provided separately. Once the Committee of the Whole completes its review of the
proposed 2007-2011 CIP, it will be presented to the Village Board for formal acceptance on
July 18, 2006.
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.
