Richland Hills considers data-driven five-year CIP scoring system
Summary
At a council work session Mayor Curtis summarized a proposed five-year capital improvement program framework that would rank projects using a nine-criteria scoring system; a resolution is expected back for council consideration on June 22.
Richland Hills city leaders opened the meeting with a work-session review of a proposed five-year capital improvement program framework designed to make prioritization of major infrastructure projects more structured and data-driven. Mayor Curtis said staff presented a scoring system that evaluates projects across nine criteria, including public health and safety, cost of delaying a project, economic impact and community benefit.
The proposal would replace more subjective approaches to ranking projects with measurable metrics intended to guide investments over the next five years. Mayor Curtis said the scoring aims to provide greater transparency and a repeatable method for evaluating competing needs.
The council did not take final action on the framework during this session. Staff and council members were told a resolution to adopt the CIP framework is expected to return for council consideration at the June 22 meeting, at which point the council will have the opportunity to debate the specific criteria and any weighting of factors.
