City Council CIP Minutes February 18, 1991 Page 2 . After verification of the 1991 work plan, the Council and staff reviewed the affect of each individual project on the possible funding sources. It was noted that the MSA fund and the Capital Projects fund were the most utilized funds for public infrastructure improvement projects. The City Council identified which of the 1991 work projects would most likely be two year projects and not be completed until 1992.
