Boulder City tentatively adopts $134.5M five-year CIP; adds $8.5M pavilion project
Summary
Boulder City council gave tentative approval to a five-year capital improvement plan totaling $134.5 million, including an $8.5 million redevelopment-funded pavilion at Boulder Creek Golf Course; council approved the plan unanimously to inform the FY27 operating budget.
Boulder City’s City Council on Jan. 13 gave tentative approval to a five-year capital improvement plan that lists 54 projects totaling $134.5 million and sets FY27 spending at $35.1 million.
Budget Manager Angela Manninen told the council the plan is funded from a mix of enterprise funds (about 40%, roughly $53.7 million), outside sources (about 24%, roughly $32.8 million), government funds (about 19%, roughly $25 million), and voter‑approved funds (about 17%, roughly $22.5 million). She said approximately $18.9 million of the voter‑approved total is expected from the sale of Track 350 (referred to as Liberty Ridge), and that 90% of those sale proceeds are earmarked for a large pool project in FY27.
“The five‑year plan has 54 projects with a combined cost of $134,500,000,” Manninen said during the presentation, describing how enterprise, outside and voter‑approved funding sources fit together. She said FY27 includes 35 projects and emphasized that the CIP is being tentatively adopted so staff can finalize the operating budget.
The council added a new project to the CIP: an $8.5 million pavilion at Boulder Creek Golf Course to convert a canvas pavilion into a permanent 10,000‑square‑foot building with restrooms, a warming kitchen and space for events. Manninen said the pavilion would be 100% funded with redevelopment district (RDA) dollars in phased payments across FY26–29 and would require RDA board approval before funds are spent.
Council members asked about inflation assumptions and the timetable for RDA approvals. Manninen and City Manager Ned Thomas said the tentative approval provides a starting point for operating‑budget work and that the CIP can be adjusted before final budget adoption in May.
The council voted unanimously to tentatively adopt the plan.
What happens next: the tentative CIP will feed into the FY27 operating budget process; any substantive changes would be returned to a public meeting before final approval in May.
