City shows multi-year capital plan, flags $1M in unfunded stormwater projects
Summary
Staff presented a three-year CIP showing major CRA, utility and public-works projects and identified roughly $1 million in unfunded stormwater projects for FY27 and more in later years; commissioners debated prioritizing creek cleanup vs. a planned skate park.
Kate walked the commission through a three-year capital improvement plan that breaks projects out by department and funding source. She told commissioners the CRA portfolio alone lists about $8.7 million in projects for FY27 and that public-works stormwater has roughly $2.2 million planned for FY27 with approximately $1,000,000 of projects listed as unfunded in FY27 and additional unfunded amounts in FY28–FY29.
Commissioners focused on prioritization: several members, including Commissioner Rich, urged redirecting funds or phasing projects to accelerate work on Poppleton and Frasier creeks. Staff cautioned that some projects (notably the Guy Davis skate-park) are at or near 100% design and permitting with South Florida Water Management District and that removing or re-scoping projects now would add time and cost. Kate recommended alternate bids and phased contracting so the commission can compare costs before making final funding decisions.
