The City is the process of preparing and adopting its first Five-Year Capital Improvements Plan, which includes projects associated with roads; pedestrian connectivity; parks; and buildings/facilities.

 

The two main purposes of this workshop are to:

 

1)     Reach consensus on assumptions related to funding resources, including

a.       assumptions on revenue sources; and

b.       maximum debt service tolerance

 

In addition to staff, Julie Houston with Orrick Partners, the City’s Bond Counsel, and Chris Lane with SAMCO Partners, the City’s Financial Advisor will be on hand to answer questions related to the City’s financial position and bond issuance considerations.

 

2)      Initiate discussions related to Capital Improvement Plan Project list and prioritization, including

a.       reaching consensus on certain assumptions used for project cost calculations

 

Please refer to the attached “DRAFT CIP PRESENTATION” and DRAFT CIP Project Compendium for more detailed material on the two topics listed above.

 

Please note that the cost assumptions are preliminary and will be revised as needed based on this Friday’s discussions—the cost estimates listed in the presentation reflect staff’s construction estimates in today’s dollars *1.1, rounded to the nearest $10,000 to account for unknowns that may increase the price, such as inflation.
