City finance staff presented the proposed 2026'1030 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) to the Fayetteville City Council on June 3, describing a multi-fund, five-year plan that staff said totaled about $215 million across funds and projects; council voted to table final action until the next council meeting to allow additional follow-up.

Chief Financial Officer Steven Dobson summarized the CIP as a roadmap of prioritized infrastructure and capital projects scheduled over five years and emphasized that the CIP itself is not an appropriation but rather informs annual budgets. Dobson described major components as water and sewer (about 31% of the total), vehicles and equipment (24%), public safety (9%), transportation (8%) and parks (7%). He gave rough five-year totals including approximately $67 million for water and sewer, $51 million for vehicles and equipment, $19.5 million for public safety, $17.6 million for transportation and $15.5 million for parks and recreation. The sales-tax capital fund portion, Dobson said, totaled roughly $72.4 million over five years with transportation, police and fire among the largest allocations.

Following earlier council discussion at an agenda session, staff reported that the council requested programming full funding for prescribed burns in the natural-resources management line; staff said they programmed funding by drawing limited contingency in 2026'127 and reallocating from the citywide radio-systems replacement in later years to fully fund the prescribed-burn item.

Councilmember Moore moved to table the CIP to the council's next meeting for additional follow-up on outstanding items; the motion carried by unanimous roll-call vote. Staff noted departmental work on supplemental items would continue pending the next meeting's consideration.
