category be weighted and that the weighted scores be used as a measure of the project <br />value. Each budget cycle the CIP committee will propose that the categories be <br />weighted in accordance with the following schedule: <br /> <br />Description Weight Notes <br />Critically Important 25 2 categories <br />Very Important 10 4 categories <br />Important 5 2 categories <br /> <br />A proposed distribution of weights will be brought to council at the same work session as <br />the project list and associated project scores, for review and adjustment. <br /> <br />The resulting list of projects will be prioritized based on the council approved weighted <br />score and detailed estimates will be prepared for the top ranked projects. Beginning with <br />the most restricted funds (money with narrowly defined allowable uses), staff will <br />tentatively assign funding to the highest ranked qualifying projects. After all other funds <br />have been assigned staff will allocate general fund money to the remaining highest <br />ranked projects. The proposed funded project list will be presented to council for review, <br />discussion, and approval. <br /> <br />The list of prioritized project will be used to create a six year CIP plan. Even though <br />funding in future years isn’t appropriated until council approves the budget for those <br />years, a six year look ahead will allow us to forecast our needs and provide a location to <br />document a plan for multiyear funding of a project, should that be our desire.
