Proposed City Council Motion:
I move for adoption of the FY2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan in accordance with the City of Lee’s Summit Charter.
Background:
The City's 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) serves as a planning document that incorporates both project and financial planning for infrastructure improvements throughout the city. The plan is organized into eight categories.
The first category plans large-scale, capital maintenance programs needed to maintain infrastructure systems and facilities based on infrastructure conditions. These programs include Public Works, Water Utilities and the Building Equipment Replacement Program (BERP) Programs. The remaining seven categories plan construction work to add or replace infrastructure. The categories include Airport; Bridges, Streets & Signals; Facilities; Parks & Recreation; Stormwater; Sanitary Sewer; and Water. Each category includes tables summarizing the programs and projects, annual expenditures and fiscal year programming projections. Tables contained in the front end of the CIP summarize status of publicly voted project commitments, such as the NTIB Election of 2023. The front end of the CIP also provides a summary of completed projects; new projects; revenue sources; overall, annual, program and categorical projected expenditures; impacts to livable streets; etc.
The plan is updated each year to remove completed projects, add new projects, and revise cost estimates and schedules of ongoing projects and programs as appropriate. It is financially constrained to match anticipated expenditures with anticipated revenues. The first year of the 5-year plan, the 2027 fiscal year, is adopted as part of the annual budget process. The City also adopts the CIP as part of the Comprehensive Plan (Ignite!), for which the Planning Commission has oversight responsibilities and passed a resolution to adopt in April.
State statutes also require that projects in the CIP must be presented as part of a public hearing to allow for public review and comment. Therefore, City Staff presents the CIP to the Planning Commission for a public hearing to meet these requirements. The public hearing occurred at the Planning Commission meeting in April. In addition to the Planning Commission Public Hearing, the Draft FY27 CIP was posted on the City’s webpage for public comment. Only three public comments were received. Two comments were related to a desire for more stormwater improvements and another was related to operations at a MoDOT intersection. There were no public comments at the public hearing. The CIP was prepared in coordination with the Public Works Committee over the course of several meetings.
An electronic version of the FY2027-2031 CIP is attached for reference. A paper copy of the FY2027-2031 CIP is also available in the City Clerk's Office for viewing by appointment only. Please call 969-1005 to make an appointment.
