Kleingers & Associates prepared the City's first Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP is a blueprint for planning and funding the City's capital infrastructure expenditures. The benefits of having a CIP include:
coordination between capital needs and operating budgets
identification of the most economical means of financing capital projects
focus on community objectives and fiscal capacity
increased opportunities for obtaining federal and state grant aid
consideration of the relationship of public facilities to other public and private (re)development policies and plans
serves as a communications tool to keep the public informed about future needs and projects.
