4 <br /> <br />Projects <br /> <br />The CIP is the mechanism for identifying, defining, tracking, and ranking infrastructure <br />needs. Needs are described as projects and are both for maintenance of existing facilities <br />and construction of new facilities. Projects generally involve construction, are over <br />$50,000, and exclude routine operation and repair that is funded by department operation <br />and maintenance budgets. Funding for projects is established by the City budget. <br /> <br />The Engineering and Transportation Department solicits project ideas from City <br />management staff and the City Council throughout the year. Non-management City staff <br />can submit project ideas through their department head and the public can submit project <br />ideas by completing a form available at City events and through the City’s website. <br />Projects suggested by the public are assigned to a sponsoring department and must be <br />accepted by the department head in order to be considered further. <br /> <br />Prior to preparation of this document the condition of current infrastructure was <br />investigated, and projects needed to maintain the infrastructure were identified. <br />Additionally, each City Department was asked to forecast infrastructure needed to <br />maintain current service levels under projected population growth as well as to respond to <br />any new services needed by the community; data sheets were created for projects <br />identified through this exercise. <br /> <br />In addition to discrete or one-time projects the following annual projects and ongoing <br />programs are funded through the CIP portion of the budget. <br /> <br />Annual Projects and Ongoing Programs <br />Ongoing Programs <br />ADA Transition Program <br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Support Program <br />Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program <br />Sidewalk Program <br /> <br />Annual Projects <br />City Building Major Maintenance <br />City Park Major Maintenance <br />Sanitary Sewer Collection System Maintenance <br />Street Maintenance <br /> <br />Project Scoring <br /> <br />The Annual Projects and Ongoing Programs are the highest priority and are funded first. <br />When the budget contains funding for both annual and discrete projects the discrete <br />projects are scored in accordance with this section. <br />
