III.CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
IV.2012-2016CAPITAL 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-yearCIP 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 2012-2016CIP 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 $64.6million.
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 $64.6million of
project requests included in the proposed CIP, $41.2million,or 63.8%,is for the
continuation of established projects including approximately $18.0million 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 2013-2017.
2012project requests included in the proposed CIP amount to $11.8million. This is an
increase of $5.1million from first-year projects in the 2011-2015CIP. First-year projects
include the ongoing street program,improvements to the water and sewer system
infrastructure, flood control projects, and tree replacement program. In 2012,Kensington
Road Improvements account for $3.3 million, the Street Improvement Program accounts for
$1.9million, Portable/Mobile Radios for Police and Fire account for $1.1 millionand
Combined Sewer Improvements account for $1.0 million of the first year total. Of the total
projects proposed for 2012, $4.9million (approximately 42%) is for the continuation of
established projects including $1.8million for the water/sewer program.
The proposed 2012-2016CIP was distributed on June 17, 2011to the Finance Commission
and the Village Board. The Finance Commission held a meeting on June 23, 2011to review
the proposed document. Once the Committee of the Whole completes its review of the
proposed 2012-2016CIP, it will be presented to the Village Board for formal acceptance on
July 19, 2011.
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.
