Michael Wolf outlined the city’s five‑year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and highlighted recent and upcoming park and facility projects. Staff said Campus Park activation is grant funded with an anticipated bid late in the calendar year or January 2026, and that Dortley Park improvements are in final plan check with bidding expected in early 2026.

The presentation listed active projects across city buildings, storm drains, the Del Sol Skatepark (a design‑build project), fire station design work, library projects and restroom renovations. Completed project examples included restroom upgrades, an emergency cooling system for the data center and bridge and roofing repairs. Staff noted state unfunded mandates for trash capture devices in storm drains as an ongoing responsibility.

Wolf said some projects are paused at various phases—design or construction—because of bond mitigation or council decisions on funding sources. He said construction of the aquatic center and some fire station work are on hold despite near‑completed designs. Cost escalation, limited contractor availability and permitting timelines were cited as constraints on moving projects to construction.

Staff recommended prioritizing execution of existing CIP projects and deferred maintenance rather than adding new projects, and suggested advancing the aquatic center and senior center where funding allows. No formal council approvals occurred in the workshop; items were framed as staff recommendations for council action.
