<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL <br />LORI JOHNSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR <br />PHIL HALS, STREET/PARK SUPT. <br />TERRY MAURER, CITY ENGINEER <br /> <br />FROM: PATRICK D. KLAERS, CITY <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br /> <br />DATE: JANUARY 12, 1993 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br />WORKSESSION <br /> <br />A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) worksession is scheduled <br />for 6:00 p.m. on Monday, January 18, 1993, at the Elk River <br />City Hall Conference Room. The City Council and staff should <br />feel free to come dressed casually for this meeting and pizzas <br />will be provided for dinner. If individuals do not favor <br />pizza, and would prefer something on the order of a subway, <br />please notify me and such provisions can be arranged. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />In 1990, the City Council had four meetings to develop the <br />draft Capital Improvement Program (see attachment with some PDK <br />notes). The plan has been kept in a draft form in order to <br />retain as much flexibility as possible. The 1990 CIP has <br />always been viewed as a guideline for capital improvements and <br />not something that was "cast in concrete" or inflexible. In <br />1991, the City Council met twice (January and February) to <br />update the 1990 CIP and to establish a "game plan" for 1991 <br />improvement projects. For the 1992 CIP, the Council met once <br />in October, 1991 (budget meeting) and once in January to update <br />the CIP and to plan out the work projects for 1992. In effect, <br />the City Council minutes from 1991 and 1992 have functioned as <br />the updated informal CIP. This type of documentation has been <br />sufficient to provide guidelines on City Council priorities for <br />work projects. However, as it has been three years since the <br />draft CIP document has been put together, it is anticipated <br />that after discussions in 1993 the document will again be <br />redrafted and provided to the City Council for its <br />consideration. <br /> <br />ELK RIVER CIP OUTLINE <br /> <br />The CIP is generally a one year and five year work plan for <br />projects that need to be undertaken. Typically, there are a <br />lot of projects listed in the first few years of the five year <br />CIP and fewer projects listed in the later years. This is <br />because projects usually take more than one year to accomplish <br />and, in this manner, projects tend to "slide" into future years. <br /> <br />720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
