<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Parks & Recreation Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Bryce Shearen, CPRP, Parks & Recreation/Community Services Director <br /> <br />DATE: October 6, 2022 <br /> <br />RE: Parks and Recreation Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />A motion to support 2023 Capital Improvement Plan projects that have been identified. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City of Little Canada utilizes a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to schedule proposed public <br />improvements and purchases over a ten-year period. Significant purchases and improvements <br />beyond ten years are identified but not included in the CIP. <br /> <br />The CIP is a planning document that covers the period from 2023-2032, intended to assist <br />policymakers and staff to plan for major capital improvements, renewal, and replacement <br />expenditures. The CIP is not a budget, nor is it an authorization to expend funds. The <br />authorization of the expenditures occurs through City Council action and in the adoption of the <br />annual budget. 2023 CIP Projects will be included in the 2023 Budget that the Council adopts in <br />December. The 2023-2032 projects should be considered a planning tool, and the projects <br />included for 2023 will serve as a work plan for staff. It should be noted that some items in the <br />CIP are placeholders and may shift years depending on when the project(s) is able to come <br />online. <br /> <br />There are nine categories of projects by type, with Parks & Recreation as one of the nine and the <br />Parks & Recreation items are shown in the attached documents. <br /> <br />Input from the Parks & Recreation Commission, City Council, Staff, the Parks Master Plan, and <br />the City’s Strategic Plan is being used as guiding information to program Parks & Recreation <br />capital projects. It should also be noted that financial considerations were not a part of the Parks <br />Master Plan. The plan is meant to guide future park decisions based on the input that was <br />received during the planning process. As projects that were identified in the Parks Master Plan <br />are added to the CIP, a plan for financing these projects will need to be developed. <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Commission make a motion to support the support 2023 Capital <br />Improvement Plan projects that have been identified. <br /> <br />
