Wilks Trustee Arlene Juracek Trustee John Matuszak Trustee Michael Zadel ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF MAY 8, 2012 ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF MAY 22, 2012 CITIZENS TO BE HEARD IV. 2013 -2017 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 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 -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 2013 -2017 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 $63.3 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's capital needs, it is fitting that all of these project requests be included in the proposed plan. Of the $63.3 million of project requests included in the proposed CIP, $42.1 million, or 66.5 %, 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 updated on an annual basis. The next CIP will cover the years 2014 -2018. 2013 project requests included in the proposed CIP amount to $11.5 million. This amount reflects a slight decrease ($300,000) from first -year projects in the 2012 -2016 CIP. First -year projects include the ongoing street program, improvements to the water and sewer system infrastructure, flood control projects, and tree replacement program. In 2013, Kensington Road Improvements account for $3.3 million, the Street Improvement Program accounts for $2.3 million, Combined Sewer Improvements account for $800,000 and water tank rehab work accounts for $775,000 of the first year total. Of the total projects proposed for 2013, $5.6 million (approximately 48 %) is for the continuation of established projects including $1.6 million for the water /sewer program. The proposed 2013 -2017 CIP was distributed on June 22, 2012 to the Finance Commission and the Village Board. The Finance Commission held a meeting on June 28, 2012 to review the proposed document. Once the Committee of the Whole completes its review of the proposed 2013 -2017 CIP, it will be presented to the Village Board for formal acceptance on July 17, 2012. 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. MANAGER'S REPORT Status VII.
