DISCUSSION:
Section 65401 of the Government Code requires that when a town or city has adopted a General
Plan, all proposed public works projects be classified into a coordinated program and submitted
to the Planning Commission for review. The Commission is required to report to the Council on
the conformity of the program with the adopted General Plan and any adopted specific plans.
The proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year program to permit flexibility in
responding to the ever-changing needs of the community. The five-year program also enables
staff to provide a budget forecast that reflects realistic revenue sources.
The proposed CIP (Exhibit 1) includes capital projects proposed for construction during the next
five years, 2013-2018. Projects are classified under three programs, Streets, Parks, and Public
Facilities.
Kevin Rohani, Assistant Director of Parks & Public Works and Town Engineer, will be available
to answer any questions at the meeting. The scope of the Commission’s review is to determine
that the Capital Improvement Program is consistent with the General Plan and Hillside Specific
Plan.
