CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a summary of the major capital and public improvements to the City’s infrastructure. A capital or public improvement project is defined as expenditures on capital assets with a value greater than $30,000 that are stationary in nature, including but not limited to, publicly owned or operated streets, highways, bridges, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, alleys, storm drains, trees and landscaping, medians, parks, playgrounds, traffic signals, streetlights, fences, walls, or other infrastructure. The CIP also includes other types of capital improvements including those specific to capital facilities, which are defined as city owned or operated buildings including, but not limited to, City Hall, Civic Center, Police Department, Corporation Yard, Fire Stations, libraries, Bridge Shelter, and Community Centers. Also included within the CIP are consolidated building modification projects. Capital projects differentiate themselves from building modification projects in the dollar amount of the project. Individual building modification projects are minor maintenance improvements capped at $30,000, each respectively. In addition, capital projects have a wider scope of work and can span over multiple fiscal years. In such cases, continuing appropriations are a part of the annual budget to transparently track these multi-year capital projects. Other routine capital purchases, such as the purchase of new vehicles, computer hardware, and other equipment, are accounted for in other special funds, such as the Equipment Replacement Fund and IT Replacement Fund. These are not reflected in the CIP.
The CIP is important for planning and managing the City’s growth and development as well as maintaining existing infrastructure. The CIP is a living document that continues to evolve each fiscal year through the budgeting process to reflect City Council and community goals, needs, and desires. Planning for capital improvements is an ongoing process. As the City’s infrastructure condition(s) and needs change, capital programs and priorities are adjusted. New construction may be required to accommodate an increased demand or replace aging facilities , while existing infrastructure requires periodic rehabilitation, replacement, or other improvements to protect the City’s investments.
The FY 2026-27 proposed CIP budget is approximately $34 million, across all funds, of which an estimated $12 million will be secured with bond financing for the Fire Station 2 reconstruction. The CIP budget was prepared using a variety of funding sources, which includes actuals, estimated revenues, and fund balances, to maximize the utilization of available funds to maintain, improve, and develop essential City assets. These funding sources also include County, State and Federal grants, many of which are reserved for CIP. There are sufficient fund balances and estimated revenues to support the projects recommended for the FY 2026-27 CIP from the various funding sources. The table below reflects the proposed project expenditures for the CIP as well as approximately $87 million in budgeted funds estimated to carry forward from the prior fiscal year for ongoing capital projects:

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) OVERVIEW
The CIP is organized and summarized by the following sections:
BUDGET GUIDE
The CIP Budget Guide provides a narrative overview of the CIP, including how the program is developed. The guide identifies funding sources and categories of projects. It also reflects various summaries of projects by category, district, and funding source.
CIP ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Included in this CIP section are major project-specific accomplishments from the prior fiscal year.
ONGOING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
The CIP section includes a list of ongoing capital projects that the City Council has authorized to re-budget and carry forward from the prior fiscal year. As the implementation of some capital projects straddle fiscal years, due to complexities of project or other issues, this list is a transparent way to reflect all open projects with their corresponding remaining balance. Adoption of the CIP also provides explicit City Council approval to reappropriate these remaining project balances.
PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS BY CATEGORY AND CITY COUNCIL GOALS
Best practices recommend that state and local governments establish an objective process for categorizing and prioritizing capital improvement projects. The proposed capital projects by category provides a high- level summary of the projects by voting district. The voting district reflects the actual project location; however, some projects may provide a communitywide benefit. The capital projects are also classified using the following categories (which are further defined under the Prioritization and Categorization section):
1 – Risk to Health, Safety or Environment
2 – Regulatory or Mandated Requirement
3 – Grant Funding
4 – Master Plan, General Plan
5 – Asset Condition, Annual Recurring Costs
In addition, this summary includes a corresponding project status, defined below:
• New project – projects with this status are not previously budgeted projects and represent new financial commitments to fund the projects as well as ongoing operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation costs.
• Existing project – projects with this status are previously budgeted projects that are not completed or span multiple fiscal years and are generally phased.
• Ongoing project – projects with this status are ongoing citywide projects that are budgeted every fiscal year in the CIP and relate to annual citywide improvements or maintenance. Examples of projects with this status include Citywide Street Improvements, Citywide Sidewalk Improvements, or Parkway Improvement Program. The project detail forms for these projects will not reflect prior budgets or expenditures as the remaining balances for these projects are reflected on the Ongoing Capital Improvement Projects summary.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CONTINUED)
This section also reflects how all capital projects tie back to the City Council’s established goals. Each project will meet one or more of the below priorities: [THESE ARE NOT ALL THE GOALS, AND NOT IN ORDER APPROVED BY COUNCIL]
Goal #1: Recruit and Retain High Quality Staff
Goal #2: Achieve Long-term Fiscal Sustainability
Goal #3: Strengthen the Public’s Safety and Improvement Quality of Life Goal #4: Advance Environmental Sustainability and Climate Resiliency Goal #5: Diversify, Stabilize and Increase Housing to Reflect Community Needs
PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS MAP BY VOTING DISTRICT
A map depicting the geographical location of the capital projects with an overlay reflecting the voting districts is included in this section. The voting district s reflect the actual project location; however, some projects may provide a communitywide benefit. Citywide or “ongoing” projects are not included on this map because they are not specific to any one location or voting district.
PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS BY FUNDING SOURCE The summary of proposed capital projects by funding source provides a detailed list of each project and corresponding funding sources for Fiscal Year 2026-27. This summary is organized by the following project types:
• Facilities – projects in this category include any facility maintenance, improvements or reconstruction.
• Parks – projects in this category include any maintenance, improvements, or development at park facilities.
• Streets – projects in this category include any street maintenance (i.e. slurry seal, rehabilitation, etc.), storm drain and water quality related improvements.
• Transportation – projects in this category include any transportation related improvements or maintenance, including active transportation projects, traffic signal maintenance and improvements, and general neighborhood traffic improvements.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT DETAILS
This section provides detailed information about all projects, funding levels, and funding sources. These forms are project-specific and reflect all prior, current, and future project expenditures by phase to provide a total project cost for the City Council and community.
Each project-specific form also includes an estimated financial operating impact for consideration in the budget adoption process that outlines ongoing operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation costs. These estimates are prepared per project and are subject to change based on final project design and/or construction. Additionally, projects that are classified as “ongoing” do not reflect prior budgets or expenditures. As such, the remaining balances for these projects are reflected on the Ongoing Capital Improvement Projects summary.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CONTINUED)
FIVE- YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Five-Year CIP also includes a “future” column for projects that are not developed at this time or may be implemented after Fiscal Year 2030-2031. Each fiscal year of the Five-Year CIP includes a realistic cost estimate that is within range of prior year CIP total costs. However, the cost estimates for each project are presented at current value/current dollars and are not escalated for inflation. As a result, the estimates are subject to change.
Additionally, although the schedule spans five years and future, funds for only the first year are appropri ated within the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget. The schedule provides a view of upcoming fiscal year capital projects that could be adjusted based on changing City Council and community priorities or financial capabilities. The revised 5-year CIP represents an overall well-balanced, long-term plan reflecting current City Council’s strategic goals and priorities. All projects including those in “future” years remain eligible for any grant funding, should opportunities arise.
CIP GOALS
The CIP is developed based on the City Council and community’s overarching goals. This is specifically reflected in the Proposed Capital Improvement Projects by Category and City Council Goals section. Additionally , the program is developed in accordance with elements in the City’s General Plan as well as City Council proposed planning documents and master plans.
CIP BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
As part of the annual budget process, the Public Work s Department partners with the Finance Department to propose a balanced list of projects that consider the complex workloads associated with each project as well as funding sources and available resources. In collaboration with the City Manager’s Office, capital projects are reviewed and evaluated by both the Public Works Department and Finance Department to ensure that the City’s priorities, infrastructure needs, financial capacity, and impact the projects have on the City’s operating budget are addressed.
Typically, several projects are identified and requested each year by departments; however, not all of the projects can be funded. An evaluation process is conducted in collaboration with each department to discuss priorities and needs. A list of recommended projects is presented to the City Manager for consideration, and the remaining requested projects that were not recommended are deferred and included in the Five- Year CIP for future consideration.
Additionally, there are a number of capital projects that may be requested and are pending other funding sources, including competitive grants. Projects that may be expecting such competitive grant funding, or funded with other similar outside resources, are not budgeted in the current fiscal year until the funding is awarded, but they are referenced in the Five -Year CIP. As a result, throughout the fiscal year, the City Council will receive recommendations to authorize new capital projects and approve budget adjustments to recognize and appropriate the competitively sourced funding.
Once the proposed list is prepared, staff presents the proposed projects at the City Council Study Session, Finance and Pension Advisory Committee, Parks and Community Services Commission , and the Planning Commission for consideration based on their respective purviews. Following their respective reviews and approval, the CIP budget is presented to City Council for consideration and adoption.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CONTINUED)
PRIORITIZATION & CATEGORIZATION
The CIP is updated annually allowing the City to re- evaluate its priorities and needs in each subsequent year based upon the most current revenue projections and project priorities. Capital projects affecting public health and safety, and/or legal mandates receive the highest priority. The remaining projects are prioritized for final City Council consideration and adoption by City Council goals, conformance to the City’s General Plan and corresponding planning documents and approved master plans, asset conditions, and available grant funding.
The categories aiding in prioritization of these projects are outlined and defined below:
• 1 – Risk to Health, Safety or Environment – projects in this category provide an immediate health or safety concern. These are high priority projects.
• 2 – Regulatory or Mandated Requirement – projects in this category are mandated or in accordance with government regulations. Projects in this category are required and may not be defunded or deferred.
• 3 – Grant Funding – projects in this category generally have competitively sourced funding and are subject to a timeframe outlined in the grant documents. Consequently, deferring these projects may result in forfeiture of grant funding.
• 4 – Master Plan, General Plan – projects in this category are in conformance with the City’s General Plan and related planning documents. They are also projects specifically identified in other approved master plans, such as park-specific master plans, Active Transportation Plan or Parks, Open Space, & Recreation Master Plan.
• 5 – Asset Condition, Annual Recurring Costs – projects in this category may either be annual recurring extraordinary maintenance costs or one-time/infrequent projects that improve the condition of the City’s assets. Some projects in this category include playground resurfacing and equipment replacement, street rehabilitation or sidewalk and parkway repairs. Some projects in this category may also be categorized as 1 – Risk to Health, Safety or Environment after previously being deferred.
PROJECT ESTIMATES & FUNDING SOURCES
The Public Works Department develops project cost estimates based on prior experience with similar projects or preliminary designs already completed. The cost estimates for each project are presented at current value/current dollars and are not escalated for inflation. As a result, the estimates are subject to change or escalation, particularly in the outer years of the Five-Year CIP. Occasionally the scope of the project may change resulting in higher costs than the original estimate. This also includes projected operating costs or impacts of the capital projects which are estimated per project and subject to change based on final project design and/or construction.
If project costs at the time of bid award are more than budgeted amounts, five options are considered:
• Eliminate the project; or
• Defer the project for consideration during future budget processes; or • Re-scope or change the phasing of the project to meet the existing approved budget; or • Request City Manager to transfer funding from another specified project that has savings and/or is a lower priority; or
• Request City Council appropriate additional resources, as necessary, from the respective fund balances.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CONTINUED)
At project completion, any unused funds are returned to the unassigned fund balance for the respective funds.
The City employs a combination of approaches to fund its capital projects. The Public Works Department and Finance Department funding recommendations are based upon the most current revenue projections. For many smaller improvement projects, funds are appropriated from available cash on hand. Large-scale capital projects `grants, assessments, impact fees, and reserve balances. A list and description of capital project funding sources is provided in the Description of Funds.
CONTINGENCIES & CHANGE ORDERS
A contingency is included within applicable projects as specified on the project detail forms’ cost breakdown.
These amounts allow for budget flexibility for unanticipated concerns or cost escalations during the project, including potential change orders.
Change orders are generally the result of additions or deletions to the project, revisions to the project, and omissions or errors in the original project plans and/or specifications. This does not provide budget authority for change orders as City Council would first need to approve a budget adjustment appropriating or transferring the necessary funding.

WHAT DID WE DO DURING FISCAL YEAR 2025- 26?
CITYWIDE STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The City completed slurry seal paving on various streets throughout the community. These improvements provide a protective layer that helps extend the lifespan of the pavement while enhancing overall drivability. New pavement markings were installed on select streets. The slurry seal project is expected to improve traffic flow and contribute to a higher quality of life for residents in the surrounding area.
Streets completed were Andros Street, Chestnut Avenue, Corvo Place, Ellesmere Avenue, Elm Avenue, Jacaranda Avenue, Java Road, Lemon Street, Mindanao Drive, Myrtlewood Street, and Serang Place. Additionally, the City’s contractor completed localized street repairs on California Street near Colorado Lane, where significant pavement settlement had occurred. The repair work involved removing and replacing the underlying base material, followed by repaving the affected section to restore roadway integrity.

BRENTWOOD PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Prior to construction, Brentwood Park featured a single playground structure alongside an underutilized sand volleyball court, with the original play equipment dating back to 1995.
Following the recent improvements, the park has been significantly enhanced with the addition of two new playground areas, incorporating four slides and seven climbing components designed to encourage active and engaging play. These upgrades provide a more dynamic environment and better accommodate a wider range of interests and activity levels.
The newly installed equipment includes two distinct play areas, one-designed for children ages 5 to 12, and a separate area that replaced the sand volleyball court designed for children ages 2 to
5. Both offer age -appropriate play features. Additional amenities include a shade structure for comfort, 13 accessible play elements, two inclusive features, swings, and an interactive activity boards.
The project also added a new decomposed granite walking path on the east side of the park that connects Monte Vista Avenue with Brentwood Street . A n ew concrete walkway stamped with poetry was implemented based on input from the Arts Commission that connects Brentwood Street with the play area.
