Summary

The FY2027–FY2031 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is the City's five-year capital spending plan covering fiscal years 2027 through 2031. The review process began in October 2025, when staff briefed the Planning Commission on the upcoming review cycle and scheduled a full presentation from the City's Chief Financial Officer. Acting City Manager Melanie Zipp and CFO Juan Carlos Martinez presented the draft CIP to the Planning Commission on November 10, 2025, and a separate work session was held before City Council on November 18, 2025. The Planning Commission continued its work session discussions across multiple meetings (November 24, December 8, 2025, and January 12, 2026) before holding a public hearing and ultimately adopting Resolution PC-26-01 on February 9, 2026, recommending City Council approve the CIP as proposed by a unanimous 5-0 vote; notable items discussed included the fire station, the Willard-Sherwood project, and the Katherine Johnson school project. Following a joint Planning Commission–City Council work session on February 10, 2026, City Council formally adopted the FY2027–FY2031 CIP on May 5, 2026 as part of the broader FY2027 budget package, unanimously (6-0), approving appropriation resolutions R-26-16 through R-26-24.
