Background
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is an annually prepared document that coordinates the
planning, financing, and timing of major equipment purchases and construction projects.
Following presentations to the various Commissions, the City Council will be asked to adopt the CIP
at a City Council Meeting. Adopting the CIP does not commit the Council to the proposed projects
nor implement the assumptions made during the preparation. This is, however, the basis for the
2022 Budget as we continue with its preparation.
