CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY2006-2011 REVIEW <br />Patty Boyle, senior management analyst for the Finance and Court Services Division of the Central <br />Services Department, began the presentation on the Capital Improvement Program (CII'). She explained <br />that the CIP was developed by compiling the capital projects found in adopted long-range plans within the <br />context of City Council policies and goals. She underscored that the CIP was primarily a planning <br />document and provided policy makers with a view of the anticipated capital investment in the City's <br />infrastructure over the next six years. She stated that the CIP acted as a basis for the proposed capital <br />budget -and, though it did not authorize expenditures, it was the resource that staff looked to for <br />development of the capital portion of the annual budget. <br />MINUTES-Eugene Budget Committee February 7, 2005 Page 1 <br />
