The key to retaining our future fiscal stability lies in continuing our focus on economic development activities that generate new revenues. The City is always seeking program efficiencies and savings across the organization in order to address the ongoing budgetary challenges mentioned above. In addition, the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is planned for five years and analyzed using City-specific prioritization criteria. This is updated regularly to reflect changing needs, funding availability and removal of projects which have been completed. The CIP budget for 2021-22 is $26 million. Funding comes from multiple sources, including General Fund transfers, fees, grants and bond proceeds.
