Chmn Allocco suggested waiting on review and recommendation with consideration to
the financial atmosphere of the state. Mr. Minner explained that although Chmn Allocco
makes a good point the CIP is an annual general process that is constantly changing.
This year the CIP has been broken out of the general fund. It is the general fund that
would be affected by the state's tax reform. The CIP is taken from the special revenue

funds such as discretionary sales tax, recreation impact fee, storm water utility monies
and local option gas tax.
Mr. Minner continued with the presentation of the CIP. He gave updates of various
ongoing projects within the city. Half of the monies in the storm water fund go toward
the twin ditch or Collier Creek project. The twin ditch project has been under way and is
nearing completion on budget. Most of the local option gas tax goes to a bond payment.
Impact fees cover many of the local pocket parks, lights, trash receptacles, etc. The
airport fund shows many projects wrapping up like the administrative building.
Mr. Minner gave a list of projects the city would like to get accomplished in the next fiscal
year which are police cars, community center, pedestrian bridges, drainage and quarter-
round, and ditch maintenance. He explained the storm water fees are paying for the
bond and keeping the ditches cut.
Future projects were replacing the lights at the Barber Street Sports Complex,
underground drainage improvements along Indian River Drive, pedestrian bridges,
continue with the sidewalk system, street surfacing program, Powerline Road, Barber
and Schumann intersection. Mr. Minner went on to review the DST fund, which 100% of
this fund goes to capital improvement.
There was discussion about the potential of a new community center, the dog and other
parks, and Easy Street renovation, future grant monies, airport development, and
sidewalks.
MOTION by Paul/Buchanan to recommend city council adopt the Capital Improvement
Plan, which is consistent with the city's Comprehensive Plan of Development.
