DISCUSSION:
The City of Richmond is facing a variety of critical infrastructure needs. Implementing over 80 existing Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) will bring significant positive changes to the community and built environment. Public Works, Engineering staff is presenting an update on CIPs and introducing the Programmatic Funding Approach as a possible tool to address unfunded and future CIPs. If the City Council would like staff to proceed in a different manner, we would look forward to receiving feedback to ensure that we are meeting City Council’s expectations, while concurrently managing the workload of City staff members in a department that is continuing to staff up and rebuild internal system.
The Programmatic Funding Approach is a systematic framework for prioritizing the sequence of CIPs. By doing so, we can ensure equitable and effective resource allocation that addresses the City’s infrastructure needs, while enhancing efficiency, achieving cost savings, fostering better coordination, accelerating implementation, and promoting long-term sustainability.
The Programmatic Funding Approach will:
Increase Equity
Implement Existing Master Plans
Increase collaboration with stakeholders
Opportunity to combine different types of projects
Allow a logical and planned sequence of work
Consider maintenance cost after completion of CIPs
Consider contributions to Public Art Funds
Increase sustainability on the long run
