7. Discussion on designating a representative to the Capital Improvment Committee
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: January 8, 2019
To: Planning Commission
From: Neil Soltis, Administrator
Re: Capital Improvement Committee
Background:
In 2017 the City Council appointed a Capital Improvement Committee to work with staff to
develop a 2017 – 2022 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) 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 the CIP plan was not necessary and that a biennial cycle would be more appropriate.
Consequently the City is looking to adopt a 2019 – 2024 Capital Improvement Plan. After the
CIP plan is developed will come back to the Planning Commission to be reviewed for
consistency with the current comprehensive plan before consideration by the City Council as a
part of the budget process. The 2017 CIP Committee was comprised of 4 citizen
representatives, Fire Chief, Public Works Director, and Administrator. Previous Committees
contained a larger number of members with a mix of Council, Commission and Committee
members along with citizen representatives.
At the January work session the Council determined that there should be 1 Planning
Commission member on the Committee in addition to 1 Council member, 3 citizen members,
and staff. Once organized the Committee would meet as needed with the goal of review by the
Planning Commission in July and presentation to the Council at the August work session.
Issue:
The Planning Commission needs to designate a representative to the CIP Committee
