Recreation, and Information Technology. Prior to the start <strong>of</strong> the annual <strong>CIP</strong> planning<br />

process the Finance Department reviews the city’s financial condition and evaluates the<br />

status <strong>of</strong> projects in the present <strong>CIP</strong> plan. Concurrently, departments are requested to<br />

submit individual project sheets that cover the project’s description and purpose, provide<br />

justification for the project, and detail project cost estimates.<br />

When developing projects departments do the following: 1) assess the needs for new<br />

facilities or upgrades <strong>of</strong> existing facilities and infrastructure; 2) review current<br />

regulations and compliance; 3) translate needs into prioritized project proposals and<br />

develop cost estimates; 4) review existing master plans; and 5) develop financing<br />

strategies.<br />

As departments develop their annual <strong>CIP</strong> submission they are asked to provide a<br />

summary <strong>of</strong> their project requests and their strategic approach. This involves<br />

summarizing how their projects achieve and align with the long-term goals <strong>of</strong> the<br />

community, the recommendations <strong>of</strong> adopted master plans, and how their strategies<br />

address their short-term initiatives that result from operating in a dynamic environment.<br />
