ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JUNE 13, 2006 III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD 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. V. VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT VI.
