            CIP  summary  schedule
            and detailed schedule on                       FY
            the  following  pages,  the
            City  will  focus  on  major

            infrastructure  upgrades,


            as well as continuing our


            street  overlay  program.
            Actual            program
            expenditures  may  vary
            depending on changes in
            priority  or  addition  or
            deletion  of  projects  or

            emergencies.  The 5-year
            Capital Improvement Plan
            includes projects that total


            $98.4  million  for  FY2023
            through  FY2028.    These
            projects include $20 million in water and wastewater projects.    Revenues will have an impact
            on the scope of these projects.  Within the 5-year CIP plan, $66.2 million in street and street
            overlay projects and $7.2 million in drainage projects have been identified.   Parks projects and
            building improvement projects in the 5-year CIP total $3.5 million which includes the Fleeting

            The funding source of the many of the capital projects will include debt issuances and pay-as-
            you-go methods, and many projects are in a “to be determined” funding status at this time.  Some
            projects will be grant funded, as indicated in the revenue source section of the plan.
