Council reviews recommended $25 million capital budget, hears project highlights including Rock Island Parkway work
Summary
City staff presented a recommended 2025 capital budget just over $25 million out of a $28.9 million CIP request, highlighting street and fleet projects (including Rock Island Parkway), water/wastewater work, IT upgrades, and park and library repairs; no final votes were taken.
City staff on Monday presented the recommended 2025 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to the council, proposing a capital budget just over $25 million drawn from a total $28,900,000 request and outlining major projects in streets, fleet, water and wastewater, public safety, and facilities.
At a study session, the staff presenter summarized the planning process that leads from the city’s comprehensive plan and council strategic plan into the CIP and then into the one-year capital budget. “A total of $28,900,000 was requested for 2025,” the presenter said, adding that the recommendation for the 2025 capital budget is just over $25,000,000 and that future-year entries in the CIP are planning estimates that are not yet budgeted or approved.
Why it matters: the CIP sets multi-year planning and signals which projects staff will prioritize for funding and scheduling. Staff said it spread available funding across projects using ARPA dollars, general-fund excess, CIP fund balance, Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) and grant funds.
