The City Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget includes facility and infrastructure projects that are expected to provide utility to the community for many years to come. Typical CIP projects include major street construction and maintenance, facility construction and repairs, improvements to the Water Reclamation Facility, and water distribution and sewer collection line replacements. The City’s CIP budget is recommended for adoption by the City Council in tandem with the annual Operating Budget.
