Description Each year the City of Falcon Heights adopts a five year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This plan identifies capital needs throughout the City in regards to public infrastructure, parks facilities, improvements to City buildings, and the City’s vehicle fleet. This year, staff put together a 10 year CIP as a way to better understand the long-term funding needs of the City. Key points of the draft 2015-24 CIP include: General Capital Improvements This account funds improvements to city hall. There is one major purchase proposed in 2015, a portion of the new voting equipment ($18,000) in conjunction with the contract with Ramsey County to provide voting services. Public Safety Capital Improvements This account funds improvements dealing mainly with the City’s Fire Department. Besides regular equipment replacement that is annual in nature, the largest estimated expense for next year is $45,000 for a command vehicle. Parks/Recreation/Public Facilities Capital Improvements This account funds improvements to the City’s parks system and other public buildings. Because of the ongoing Parks Master Plan, there are no inputs into this portion of the CIP at this time. These projects will be discussed at a later date. Infrastructure Capital Improvements This account funds repairs and replacements of infrastructure around the City, focusing mainly on streets and sidewalks. A major street project, such as the one in 2013, is anticipated in 2015 and is reflected in the CIP. Budget Impact Dependent on eventual adoption by the City Council at the Budget Hearing on December 10, 2014.
