CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Mr.Balling introduced the FY 2003-2004 through FY 2007-2008 Capital Improvement Plan.
Mr. Anderson reviewed the Capital Improvement Plan, which contains all projects identified as part of the update of
the Village's Capital Improvement Plan for the five-year period beginning May 1,2003 and ending April 30,2008.
Pending Village Board approval,those projects identified for FY 2003-2004 will be incorporated into the upcoming
annual operating budget. The CIP is intended to be a decision-making tool for both staff and the Board to weigh the
operational need for capital requests against the ability of the Village to finance those projects.
Trustee Johnson emphasized that approval of this document tonight does not constitute specific approval of each of
the projects contained within the CIP. Each project will be brought back in future budgets so that they may be
individually reviewed in the context of whatever economic conditions will allow.
Trustee Braiman also emphasized that he wants to be sure that each project is thoroughly reviewed on an individual
basis;he also wants to be sure that funding for a project is identified before any initial investment on consulting is
expended.
It was suggested that the street maintenance life cycle be looked at very closely to see if there is a way to extend the
life cycle of the roadways without deteriorating the quality of the pavement.
It was also suggested that everything possible be done to accelerate the Wisconsin Central/Canadian National grade
crossing automated horn system project.
The Board also would like to see more detail on line items in the actual budget so that they have more information
on each expenditure.
Staff responded to Board comments and will integrate those comments into the CIP planning.
