DISCUSSION
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) division of the City’s Public Works and Engineering Department is tasked with the planning, budgeting, management, and delivery of critical infrastructure projects citywide.
Capital improvements are major physical projects undertaken by the City that are generally not recurring on an annual basis. Components of these improvements include the construction and modification of buildings or facilities, the construction of public infrastructure modifications, the acquisition of necessary right-of-way, and the preparation of studies and plans associated with capital projects. The projects listed in the CIP must conform with the City’s General Plan goals and objectives. Projects in the CIP are categorized into the following nine major categories:
•Transportation •Streetlight
•Traffic Signal •Drainage
•Street Improvement •Public Facility
•Pavement Management Projects
(PMP)
•Parks, Trails, and Recreation
•Technology Infrastructure
Government Code Section 65401 requires the City to prepare a coordinated program that identifies projects recommended for planning, initiation, or construction during the ensuing fiscal

year. In this CIP, the City endeavors to program and identify projects and their respective biennial budgets for the two upcoming fiscal years (FY) of 2025/2026 and 2026/2027.
In preparation for the adoption of the proposed biennial budget, the CIP division has prepared and updated a comprehensive plan of proposed capital improvement projects and funding allocations for the three fiscal years thereafter, ultimately resulting in the creation of the five-year CIP plan. This document is utilized as a budgeting and fiscal planning tool to determine the extent of available funding sources for the City’s future capital improvement needs.
The FY 2025-2030 CIP Budget provides a list of current and future capital improvement needs, detailed project descriptions, cost estimates, and the anticipated means and sources of funding for each project. The proposed FY 2025-2030 CIP identifies a total of 24 projects for funding in FY 2025/2026 and a total of nine projects for funding in FY 2026/2027. Overall, the FY 2025-2030 CIP plan identifies a total of 130 potential projects in the five-year budget period. There are 33 projects proposed for funding in the biennial budget for FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027, which are shown in Table 1 below.

The total new appropriations for the FY 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 biennial budgets are $13,189,811 and $14,262,204 respectively.
Staff has reviewed the projects identified in the FY 2025-2030 CIP for consistency with the City’s General Plan. The FY 2025-2030 CIP was reviewed by the Planning Commission on May 14, 2025, and was found to be in conformance with the General Plan goals and policies, per attached Resolution No. PC 25-664.
Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the list of projects identified in the FY 2025-2030 CIP and determined that a number of projects would likely involve the need for preparation of environmental documentation in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res. Code 21000 et seq., “CEQA”) and its implementing regulations (14 Cal. Code Regs 15000 et seq., “CEQA Regulations”). Environmental review would be conducted on a project-by-project basis, with no City of Menifee Staff Report

physical activity occurring until environmental requirements and necessary documentation have been completed and accepted by the required regulatory agencies.
Adoption of the Resolution is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15262 of the CEQA Guidelines which covers feasibility or planning studies related to possible future actions.
Adoption of the Resolution is further exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this CIP may have a significant effect on the environment. The CIP is a prioritizing and funding allocation program and cannot and does not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. No physical activity will occur until all required environmental reviews are conducted at the time the physical improvements prioritized in the CIP are undertaken at a future unspecified date.
Reserve Funds
In certain circumstances, staff have recommended assigning advance funds by placing them into a reserve fund (“reserves”). This action is a strategic investment for funding future long-term planning initiatives, including capital projects such as public facilities and large infrastructure projects. The funds identified would not be appropriated into the respective project budgets until the intended phase(s) of the projects are initiated. Staff have identified and proposed placing specified funding into reserves with the intention of supporting the future construction costs of the projects outlined in Table 2 below.
