CC Work Session 2, 3, Meeting Date: 11/23/2021 Information Title: Review of 2022-2031 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Purpose/Background: The 2022-2031 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) has been prepared as a strategic planning tool to assist the City Council in identifying proposed capital improvement projects over the next ten years. The CIP is broken down into the following categories: Capital Equipment, Municipal Buildings, Park Improvements, Sewer Improvements, Storm Water Improvements, Street Improvements, Street Light Improvements and Water Improvements. Each project includes preliminary funding sources and appropriate background information citing needs and projected cost estimates. A supplemental section titled 'Future Consideration Projects' has also been included. This is a listing of park projects that are contingent upon availability of resources. These projects are unfunded and unscheduled until resources become available. The CIP must be formally adopted after a public hearing is held. The CIP was presented at the October 26 worksession. There were two recommendations requested: remove the 2022 electric vehicle request which has been updated with the Police Chiefs request of a 2022 Ford Explorer (Capital Equipment Project POL-405) and to remove Park Project 18-PARK-004 Lake Itasca Park -Parking, Trail and Canoe System which has been moved to the Supplemental Future Consideration for Park Projects CIP. Copier machine purchases have been moved to future years with the exception of one machine to be purchased in 2022. The question was asked about the exterior painting of water towers 1 & 2 planned for the same year (2024) and whether there was a cost savings or viable to do so. The Utilities Supervisor revisited this and pushed out tower #1 to 2025 and left tower #2 at 2024 with the possibility of pushing both these out further based on an aerial inspection. The year 2024 was selected as the first possible year for painting as the water treatment plant will be operational and an additional one -million gallon gallons of treated water will be stored in a clear well under the plant that will assist with water demands when a tower is taken off-line. Staff is proposing the following schedule for the adoption of the 2022-2031 CIP: November 23- Further review at worrksession & at City Council meeting Schedule Public Hearing Date of December 14 December 14 - Public Hearing & Adopt 2022-2031 CIP Timeframe: 20 minutes.
