Mr. Aart Millecarn reviewed portions of the CIP program with the Council, copies of the program being provided to the Council prior to the meeting. Mr. Milleaam stated the benefits of capital improve- ments programming provides: (1) the systematic review of proposed projects affords an opportunity to coordinate them as to timing, lo- cation and financing, thereby avoiding such mismanagement as paving a street one year and having to tear it up the next to install a sewer; (2) concurrent fiscal analysis provides the opportunity to determine the most appropriate means of financing the expenditure and allowing enough "lead-time" to prepare for it; (3) implementation of plans for community facilities are ensured by linking the Master Plan and fis- cal plan to physical development; (4) the CIP process often reveals neglected needs and areas of service; (5) the CIP process can help stabilize tax rates through intelligent debt management; (6) capital improvements programming contributes to a better overall management of City affairs by providing all participants with the opportunity to take a long-range view of their future activities and responsibilities; and (7) a CIP ensures some continuity when decision makers change be- cause of expiring terms or personnel changes (Pgs. 2-3, CIP 1989-1993). Mr. Millecam stated the CIP implements the Master Plan, it is an effi- cient use of public resources and provides necessary facilities for growth. The CIP will be reviewed in depth in Workshops during the budget process.
