City staff previews $531 million FY27 capital budget; water and wastewater make up majority
Summary
Budget staff presented the proposed FY27 capital improvements program totaling $531,019,005.81, with water and wastewater accounting for roughly 53% of the total; staff will return Aug. 19 for the commission's recommendation to City Council.
Rudy Pena, capital budget manager, presented an overview of the proposed FY27 capital improvements program, saying the total proposed CIP is $531,019,005.81 and that water and wastewater represent roughly 53% of the budget. "The total of the proposed capital budget for FY27 is $531,019,005.81," Pena said, and he listed major program highlights and funding sources, noting revenue bonds account for nearly 72% of the proposed funding.
Pena reviewed major program areas including airport rehabilitation, parks and recreation projects, public facilities renovations, new fire stations, streets and water/wastewater projects. Commissioners asked follow-up questions about project timing, long-range funding and whether specific projects (dredging, arena work, desal funding contingencies) were included; staff said detailed project pages in the budget book identify prior expenditures and long-range plans and that staff will return with more detail at the Aug. 19 meeting when the commission will be asked for a formal recommendation to council.
