Council holds public hearing on five‑year CIP/MIP (Resolution No. 312025); staff reports no changes
Summary
Staff presented Resolution No. 312025 to establish a five‑year Capital Improvement Plan and Maintenance Improvement Plan for fiscal years 2026–2030, reporting no changes to the plan as presented; the public hearing was closed with no further action recorded.
At a public hearing, Effingham staff presented Resolution No. 312025, a proposal to adopt a five‑year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and Maintenance Improvement Plan (MIP) for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
The City Administrator explained the CIP is organized into vehicles, equipment and projects and that general ledger numbers are listed to allow cross‑referencing with the operating budget. The administrator told the council there were no changes to either the CIP or the MIP during the public‑hearing review: "No changes, to the capital improvement plan or the maintenance plan," the administrator said.
Council members asked procedural questions about closing the hearing and whether an official closure was required. Staff confirmed the public hearing was closed and that the plans are included for transparency and for budgeting cross‑reference. The presentation emphasized that maintenance items that do not qualify as capital (for example, resurfacing) are listed in the MIP so they are still visible to council and the public.
Because the hearing recorded no substantive amendments, staff and the council indicated the CIP and MIP will remain as presented and proceed through the city’s routine adoption process. Any future changes would be reflected in subsequent council agenda items or budget amendments.
The public hearing on Resolution No. 312025 concluded with no formal adoption vote recorded in the transcript.
