            The adopted FY 2022 to FY 2026 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is also submitted for City Council’s
            consideration.


            The  CIP  supports  the  City  of  Southlake’s  strategy  because  projects  included  for  FY  2022  through  FY
            2026“provide travel convenience within the city and region,” and “provide attractive and unique spaces for
            enjoyment of personal interests.” The CIP is also an “investment of city dollars to provide and maintain high
            quality public assets.”


            The CIP establishes a five-year funding schedule for the purchase, construction or replacement of physical
            assets of the City. Capital improvements typically have a useful life of over ten years and a value greater
            than $10,000. The first year (FY 2022) of the CIP is called the Capital Budget and is appropriated in the same
            manner as the annual operating budget. Projects approved for subsequent years (FY 2023 through FY 2026)
            are approved for planning purposes only and do not receive expenditure authority until they are part of the
            Capital Budget.

            The CIP Technical Committee, which is comprised of the Assistant City Manager and Department Directors,
            began  the  process  of  evaluating  CIP  project  requests  in  April  to  allow  adequate  time  for  the  CIP  to  be
            developed in conjunction with the annual budget. By reviewing the CIP in conjunction with the budget, City
            Council will be able to evaluate capital needs as part of overall budget considerations, such as operating
            impacts.
