December 7, 2015 <br />The City Council reviewed the CIP and Funding Strategies at the August 17, 2015 meeting. Since that <br />meeting, City Staff have further refined the CIP and is recommending the following changes: <br />0 Move the planned $200,000 expansion of the City Campus geothermal system from 2016 to <br />2017 <br />0 Move the planned $20,000 improvements at the Dale Street athletic fields from 2016 to 2018 <br />❑ Move the $115,000 Arena Zamboni replacement from 2016 to 2025 as it was recently replaced <br />0 Transfer $25,000 from the Central Services Equipment Fund to the General Facilities Fund <br />❑ Transfer $50,000 from the Police Vehicle & Equipment Fund to the Gene�al Facilities Fund <br />0 Transfer $225,000 from the Public Works I�ehicle & Equipment Fund to the General Facilities <br />Fund <br />These changes will effectively reduce the 2016 Recommended Budget by $335,000. However, they <br />will not have an impact on the 2016 Tax Levy because the CIP funding needs are amortized over a 20- <br />year period. <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />
