All other foreseeable capital expenditures <br />within the municipal government will come through other means. The <br />following expenditures have been submitted for inclusion in this CIP: <br />2007 Expenditures <br />• Joint Use City Hall Building $1,129,463.00 <br />Any additional expenditures for 2007 and expenditures for 2008 through <br />2011 are not known at this time. <br />The statute has established certain criteria that must be met. Under these <br />criteria, the City has considered the following eight points: <br />1. Condition of the City's infrastructure and need for the project <br />2. Demand for the improvement <br />3. Cost of the improvement <br />4. Availability of public resources <br />5. Level of overlapping debt <br />6. Cost/benefits of alternative uses of funds <br />7. Operating costs of the proposed improvements <br />8. Options for shared facilities with other cities or local governments <br />The CIP is composed of projects that will preserve land located within the <br />City for a new city hall building and other uses, and allow the City's public <br />service operations more space in a new area. The City has analyzed the <br />eight points required per statute for each project on an individual basis and <br />as a whole. Their findings are as follows: <br />CITY HALL PROJECT <br />Conditions of City Infrastructure and Need for the Projects <br />Due to the increase in demand, additional space will be needed for a <br />building to include a site of voting in all elections with a portion of it being <br />used for township meetings and county sheriff services.
