Planning department details $647 million in geo bonds, highlights police-fire HQ and Levi Carter park
Summary
City Planning presented the CIP process and financing and highlighted major projects including a $181 million Police/Fire headquarters, a $45 million Levi Carter Sports Complex opening in October, $647 million in geo bonds, and continued street-preservation funding.
Dave Fanslaw of City Planning walked the council through the department's staffing, program funding and the six-year capital improvement plan (CIP).
Fanslaw said the department manages more than $141,000,000 in grant and program funding in addition to roughly $16,000,000 in general-fund support, and he identified $647,000,000 in geo bond funding planned for the CIP. He highlighted specific projects, including a $181,000,000 police/fire training or headquarters facility, the Levi Carter Sports Complex ($45,000,000) scheduled to open in October, and the $200,000,000 CHI center investment that will be part of the capital plan. Fanslaw reviewed the CIP process timeline, how priorities are coordinated with finance and the mayor's office, and the funding sources (general obligation bonds, sewer-revenue improvements, federal funds and other local funds).
Why it matters: the CIP sets the city's capital spending priorities and bond issuance plans for multi-year infrastructure, public-safety facilities and parks that will shape construction, neighborhood impacts and debt-servicing obligations.
