Staff last discussed the CIP with the City Council at the January worksession where they
approved the 2010-2014 plan. Staff has added 2015 to the plan and updated Y es
an changes
in estimates or plans since that time.
Staff has added CIP line items for Forestry Playground p

directed by the City Council at the January worksession. Other major changes include:
g
1) Mounds View High School Sidewalk Extension—This trail extension request was
q _
brought to the City Council by a student from Mounds View High School. The
request included a petition and it is for a sidewalk along Lake Valentine Road
from the bridge over 35W to the existing sidewalk in front of Mounds View High
School.
2) Hazelnut Park — Trinity Lutheran Church has indicated they would like to sell a
portion of their property. They would like to sell the property directly adjacent acent to
Hazelnut Park. The entrance of the park and the soccer field are utilized by the
City for park purposes but is church property. The PTRC and FPAC have
discussed this issue and it will be brought to the July worksession for discussion
by the City Council — this is only a placeholder in the CIP and is subject to

3) Summer accessories for the 5600 Turbo Toolcat—this is a multi-purpose machine
that is comingto the Council for approval to purchase June 28th. The
pp
recommendation at that meeting will be to purchase the toolcat with the winter
accessories.
Council Action
Staff would like input from the City Council on the 2011-2015 sections of the Five-Year
CIP and the 2011-2015 equipment. Adoption of a five-year CIP is needed to enable the
creation of a long-range financial plan for the City to evaluate reserve balances and to
analyze available funds for future projects. This is a living document and only meant to
be a "guiding plan". As each project or purchase is made, it must be brought to the City
Council for discussion and approval. Only the 2011 expenditures will be included in the
2011 Operating Budget.
