6:00 P.M. WORK SESSION
1. 2010-2014 Capital Improvements Program - A Community Reinvestment Plan – Springfield’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year plan for funding and construction
of the City’s public facilities and it is updated annually. Projects are selected from a long list of needed capital improvements as identified in the various master plans and refinement plans adopted by the City Council. Because of limited revenues, many projects cannot be funded during the next
five years. These projects are shown in the CIP; however this is for informational purposes only.
The recently approved federal legislation which provides stimulus funding to states may become a source of funding for some projects and the City is working on proposals for obtaining a share of the federal stimulus funding. If successful, we will likely recommend that the City Council obligate
these funds to projects that are currently funded to meet the timing restrictions for the federal
stimulus funding. This approach would then allow the City Council to reappropriate the local funds
to other projects listed in the CIP. The public input process for the CIP was started in November when citizens, organizations, and
City staff were asked to suggest projects for consideration in the CIP. After the Planning
Commission reviews the draft CIP, the City Council will review it in a work session on March 16,
2009, and then will hold a public hearing prior to adopting it on April 6, 2009. Ken Vogeney, P.E., City Engineer – Public Works Department Jeff Paschall, P.E., Supervising Civil Engineer – Public Works Department 30 Minutes
