City unveils roughly $210.5 million CIP focused on maintenance, street resurfacing and wastewater upgrades
Summary
City staff presented a maintenance-focused FY2018-22 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) with an overall program value shown in the presentation of about $210.45 million, with large allocations for street resurfacing, wastewater rehabilitation, building maintenance and several new projects including a $1.2M salt storage facility and a $9.2M state-funded reconstruction of Little Back River Road.
Brian DiProfio, presenting the manager's recommended capital improvement plan, described the FY2018-22 CIP as primarily a maintenance-level program that continues long-running projects and funds asset preservation. DiProfio told council the plan groups projects under strategic priorities and showed an overall program amount presented as about $210,452,102 across categories including good government (largest share for street resurfacing and wastewater rehabilitation), safe and clean, education and living-with-water projects.
DiProfio identified several notable projects and line items: citywide and Fort Monroe street resurfacing (presented at $34,000,000), wastewater rehabilitation ($37,000,000), building maintenance ($13,000,000), a new salt storage facility ($1,200,000), traffic-signal retiming ($1,000,000), Little Back River Road reconstruction (a $9,200,000 state-funded project), and school maintenance and investment projects (listed together at roughly $11.9M and $14.5M respectively). He said funding sources include bonds for long-life projects, dedicated fees (stormwater, wastewater), and state and federal grants for transportation and other projects.
Council members asked clarifying questions about sidewalk projects and dredging cycles; staff said Mercury Boulevard sidewalks are under design with minor right-of-way work underway and that some dredging projects should require less frequent maintenance once improvements are completed. DiProfio said the Planning Commission had reviewed and endorsed the plan and council would hold a public hearing that evening on the CIP and the operating budget.
