Board begins review of 2027 capital projects; staff outlines $23 million request and suggests $4 million target for next year
Summary
Staff introduced the 2027–2031 capital improvement program, a roughly 140-page packet of projects with an overall request near $23 million; board members said they expect to focus on about $4 million of projects for the 2027 capital improvements budget and asked staff for a spreadsheet of project lists and funding sources.
Jared Holter introduced the draft 2027–2031 Capital Improvement Program and said approximately 140 pages of budget detail and project descriptions are available via a link on the city website; he also handed out a printed project list showing projects by year. Holter said the board will review projects in September and October, with staff providing a spreadsheet that identifies which projects are already bonded, the sources for each project and what portion will require bonding in 2027.
Board members discussed scale and prioritization. Holter said total requests on the project list approach $23 million but that the board typically programs a smaller annual capital improvements budget; one board member suggested a target of about $4 million for the 2027 capital improvements budget, noting prior heavy borrowing in recent years. Staff agreed to provide project-level detail, funding sources and ratings for the next meeting to support prioritization.
