10.h Capital Improvement Committee
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: February 21, 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.
At the January Work Session it was determined that the Capital Improvement Committee
should include the Public Works Director, Fire Chief, City Administrator, a Park and Rec
Committee member, and 3 citizens at-large. Since then the Parks & Public Works Committee
has designated Terry Gorham as their representative. Additionally in the discussions regarding
the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee is was recommended that Perry Rynders, who was
not selected as a Committee member, be offered the opportunity to be on the CIC. I ’ve
contacted Perry and he is willing to be a member.
Issue:
How would the Council like to proceed to fill the 2 remaining slots on the Committee.
Options:
1. Solicit interest from other Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee applicants who
were not selected.
2. Solicit interest from the community at large.
