planned within a justified time frame. It was further noted that initial project design of public <br />infrastructure projects identified within this plan often begins two years or more prior to the date <br />of construction. The CIP is not intended to provide for precise budgeting. Capital costs are <br />projected as estimates· Upon each update of the plan, deletions, additions, delays, or other <br />revisions may occur, reflecting changing community needs. These changes allow for budget <br />refinements as a particular project nears actual construction. The plan does not contain a specific <br />designation, which denotes project priorities. There is no weighting or matching of priorities <br />between infrastructure types (streets, parks, utilities, building facilities) as each type of project <br />generally has a funding source unique to the project type and from which funds cannot be <br />reallocated. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen noted that the Committee had significant informal discussions prior <br />to the opening of the meeting.,~,~.~ <br /> <br />Councflmember Z~an felt '~t they should have further d~scuss~on on the new projects <br />prior to approwng ~plan.
