Subject:Relating to Public Works; presentation, discussion, and possible direction regarding the draft Town of Marana Five-Year Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2023 through 2027 (Mo El-Ali, Jim Conroy, and Jing Luo) Discussion: Providing infrastructure is a primary function of a local government. Maintaining public safety, adequate transportation systems, parks and recreation facilities, adequate water and wastewater systems, Town services, and the community's quality of life are all heavily dependent on how the Town handles infrastructure issues. As part of the programming of the Town budget, the Town Council adopts a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP is a comprehensive, five-year plan of capital projects that will support the continued growth and development of the Town. The CIP establishes the Capital Budget, which is the capital outlay portion of the annual budget. The CIP is used in implementing the General Plan and supporting the Town's adopted Strategic Plan by developing a prioritized schedule of short-range and long-range community capital needs, evaluating projects, and analyzing the community's ability and willingness to pay for them in the most cost-effective way. The Town uses the CIP as its method in determining future infrastructure requirements and planning the financing of facilities to maintain service levels Marana Council Study Session Meeting March 22, 2022 Page 3 of 7 provided to Town citizens. The CIP covers a five-year planning horizon (Fiscal Years 2023-2027) and identifies infrastructure and facility projects that the Town will undertake during this timeframe as well as the funding sources available for projected expenditures. Town staff solicits input from various departments for capital improvement projects. Finance reviews fund balances for each fund, current fiscal year-end estimates, and upcoming fiscal year budget and provides five-year revenue projections. Staff reviews and revises the Town's five-year CIP on an annual basis. Projects for the upcoming fiscal year will be programmed as a part of the budget adoption.  Town staff will present the program for Council input. Direction given will be used to finalize next year's capital budget.     Financial Impact: Most of the programmed capital projects are aligned with revenue sources dedicated for their particular area such as transportation fund, impact fees, federal and state funds, and water capital fund. There are some projects that will make requests of the general fund.  The final program will be brought before council as a part of the FY2023 budget adoption.   Staff Recommendation: Council's pleasure Suggested Motion: Council's pleasure Attachments No file(s) attached.
