Recommendation
Motion to approve the 2024 through 2028 Capital Improvement Program Budget.
Body
Background:
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is essential to planning, prioritizing, and coordinating capital improvement projects within the City of Delray Beach (City). The CIP is a five-year plan for the City's major projects and expenditures. CIP projects must have a monetary value of at least $25,000, and a life cycle of at least five years. The project results in the creation of a fixed asset, or the revitalization of an existing asset.
CIP projects may include:
• Construction of new physical facilities, including all types of infrastructure from Utilities distribution pipes or Water Treatment Plant, to roadway reconstruction, stormwater improvements and vertical construction such as buildings
• Remodeling or expansion of existing facilities
• Major equipment and machinery for new or expanded facilities
• Cost of engineering or architectural studies and services relative to the improvement
• Street construction, reconstruction, resurfacing, or renovation
A number of funds are included within the CIP: Special Projects, Recreational Impact Fee, Beautification, Gas Tax, Building, Beach Restoration, General Construction, Infrastructure Surtax, Water & Sewer, Municipal Golf Course, Lakeview Golf Course, Stormwater Utility, Cemetery, and Garage. Additionally, the Recreation and Public Safety General Obligation Bonds were added as approved via the municipal election on March 16, 2023. Budgetary considerations included in the CIP for 2024 through 2028 include a focus on the City's infrastructure through roadway and stormwater system improvements and water/sewer replacement and improvement projects. Tree plantings, new facilities as well as improvements to existing facilities are also a focus. Examples of these projects include:
• Parking Technology Improvements
• Playground Updates
• Pompey Park Community Center & Campus Improvements
• Barwick Road, Germantown Road, and Lowson Boulevard Improvements
• Tennis Stadium Enhancements
• Replacement of Fire Station No. 113
• Membrane Softening Plant
• Thomas Street Pump Station Rebuild
• Historic Marine Way Seawall, Roadway and Drainage Improvements
• Cemetery Mausoleum
