What is the Capital Improvements Program (CIP)?
The CIP is intended to guide the City in the long-term planning, scheduling and budgeting of capital improvement projects. The CIP outlines proposed expenditures and allocates existing funds and anticipated revenues to rehabilitate, restore, improve, and add to the City’s physical plant. The CIP provides a link between planning and budgeting, and a coordination of financing and timing in a way that maximizes the return to the community. It enables the government to envision its opportunities and constraints, and make great efforts to take advantage of these opportunities and develop strategies to tackle problems and to avoid financial crises.
