Capital Improvement Plan
CIP Process ( Continued )
Project rankings are then reviewed by the Town ’ s Budget Team and populated into the CIP . As part of this process , the Budget Team considers multiple factors including Town Council priorities , available funding , citizen input and staff ’ s rankings . As necessary , requesting Departments are brought in to meet with the Budget Team to ensure all projects are fully understood .
The Budget Team presents the draft CIP to Town Council as part of the annual budget work session . Staff reviews each project with Council and summarizes the long-term operating impact associated with each project . This helps to ensure that Council is aware of projects that will have a significant impact on future operating budgets . Council ’ s input is captured , and revisions are made to the CIP document and project list as necessary . Finally , the CIP is approved as part of the annual budget process in June .
