3.d Capital Improvement Committee0SCANDIA
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: January 4, 2017
To: City Council
From: Neil Soltis, Administrator
Re: Capital Improvement Committee
Background:
In 2015 the City Council appointed a Capital Improvement Committee to work with staff to
develop a 2016 — 2020 Capital Improvement plan and to look beyond those years for projects
that will have a major impact on the City's finances for an additional 5 years. In 2016 the
Council determined that appointing a committee on an annual basis with the task of updating a
5 -year plan was not necessary and that a biennial cycle would be more appropriate. After the
5 -year plan is developed it is reviewed by the Planning Commission for consistency with the
current comprehensive plan before consideration by the City Council as a part of the budget
process. The 2015 CIP Committee was comprised of 5 citizen representatives. Previous
Committees contained a larger number of members with a mix of Council, Commission and
Committee members along with citizen representatives.
Issue:
How would the Council like to proceed with formation of the Committee to work on the 2017 —
2022 Capital Improvement Plan?
Proposal Details:
At this point the composition of the Committee should be determined at which point the City
can seek applications for the citizen representatives. Consideration should also be given to
having the Committees / Commissions to make recommendations to the City Council for any
representation by those bodies.
