Summary
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2026 through 2030 is a multi-year municipal infrastructure and capital investment plan adopted as part of the City's broader FY 2026 budget package. The process began with a presentation to the Planning Commission on November 25, 2024, by City Manager Laszlo Palko, followed by a City Council work session introduction on December 3, 2024. Planning Division Chief Paul Nabti led continued work sessions before the Planning Commission on December 9, 2024 and January 13, 2025, with a public hearing held January 27, 2025, at which the Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution PC-25-01 (6-0) recommending City Council approval subject to stated considerations and minor typographical corrections. The Planning Commission presented the CIP to City Council at a February 4, 2025 work session, with no formal action taken at that time. On May 6, 2025, at a City Council Special Meeting, the FY 2026–2030 CIP was adopted unanimously 6-0 as part of the main budget motion (which incorporated changes from the Budget Change Document), alongside appropriation resolution R-25-11 (Capital), also approved 6-0.
