Council adopts FY25–26 $4.3 million capital improvement program for drainage, water and parks upgrades
Summary
City Council approved the FY25–26 Capital Improvements Program totaling $4.3 million for projects including drainage improvements at 1709 Wellington Lane, sewer replacements on several streets, replacement of an ozone generator at Lake of the Ponds and automated lighting and gate systems at two parks.
The City Council adopted the fiscal year 2025–26 Capital Improvements Program on Sept. 11, approving approximately $4.3 million for drainage, wastewater, water treatment and parks infrastructure projects.
Zach Shaner, a city staff member, presented the CIP and said the projects were compiled from studies, the comprehensive plan and master planning processes and ranked according to council-adopted policies. Shaner said the drainage fund is supported by a quarter-cent sales tax established in 1991 and that drainage projects are prioritized by building flooding, major erosion that threatens structures, and minor erosion or property flooding.
Shaner described the funded projects for FY25–26: - Drainage: construction to mitigate repetitive home flooding and storm sewer problems at 1709 Wellington Lane. - Wastewater: replacement of sewer lines along Melba Street, Jonquil Drive, Thirteenth Street and Malden Drive. - Water: replacement of the ozone generator at the Lake of the Ponds water treatment plant (the existing unit is beyond service life and required for disinfection). - Parks: outdoor automated lighting and gate access control systems at Leer Park and Spring Hill Park to reduce overtime costs for Parks & Recreation.
Shaner said the four projects together total $4,300,000. Council moved, seconded and approved the resolution adopting the CIP for FY25–26.
