Proposed City Council Motion:
I move for adoption of a Resolution adopting the FY2023-2027 capital improvements plan (CIP) 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 need to maintain infrastructure systems and facilities based on infrastructure conditions. The 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 & Recreations; Stormwater; Sanitary Sewer; and Water.
The plan is updated each year to remove completed projects, add new projects, and revise cost estimates and schedules of ongoing projects as appropriate. It is financially constrained to match anticipated expenditures with anticipated revenues. The first year of the 5-year plan is adopted as part of the annual budget process. The City also includes the CIP as part of the Comprehensive Plan (Ignite!), for which the Planning Commission has oversight responsibilities and passed resolution to adopt.
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. In addition to the Planning Commission Public Hearing, the Draft FY23 CIP was posted on the City’s webpage for public comment. Nineteen (19) public comments were received. All comments have been reviewed. A summary of those comments and responses are included in this packet. Planning Commission and Public Works Committee were presented copies of those public comments for their review and discussion. The Livable Streets Advisory Board also reviewed the draft FY23 CIP and shared its support without any suggested revisions or comment.
The FY2023-2027 CIP includes proposed funding of $424,647,000 over the five-year period. This total is an increase from the FY2022-2026 total which was $326,389,000. The increase in the total is due construction cost inflation and several large projects moving into the construction phase during this 5-year period.
An electronic version of the FY23-27 CIP is attached for reference. A paper copy of the FY 2023-2027 CIP is also available in the City Clerk's Office for viewing by appointment only. Please call 969-1005 to make an appointment.
