Manager Hughes noted the Capital Improvement Program was really a one year budget
and a four year plan. He said the proposed 2008-2012 CIP followed the 2008 budget very
closely. Staff and Council reviewed the proposed 2008-2012 Capital Improvement Program
projects department by department. The review included:
• Aquatic Center Update projected for 2011
• Street Reconstruction Projects funded by MSA funds
• Staging of street reconstruction projects allowing neighborhood access
• Timing of the refurbishing of the Braemar Ice Arena
• Art Center Building Expansion proposal
• Edinborough Updates
• Golf Course - timing of renovations
• Utility System Updates - rate study
It was noted that a utility rate increase would be necessary to fund the utility portion of
the CIP. It was also noted that the results of the utility rate study were not yet in hand.
Staff will bring back the 2008-2012 CIP for Council consideration at either the last meeting
in December or first meeting in January.
