Council Approves 2019-2023 Capital Improvements Plan
At last night’s meeting, City Council approved the 2019-2023
Capital Improvements Plan as recommended by City Manager Cindy Rohlf in October. The $607 million plan establishes a timeline and funding strategy for high-priority capital projects and equipment purchases. With last night’s approval, the first year of the plan (FY 2019) is now a schedule of capital spending commitments and the remaining four years (FY 2020 – FY 2023) represent a plan for capital investments. City Council will still have to appropriate funds for individual capital projects.
Marine Corps Reserve building transferred to city
City Council authorized the City Manager to accept the USMC Reserve property at 7401 Warwick Boulevard from the federal government. Deemed surplus property, the City applied to have the property transferred to it for use as a Day Service center for the homeless population to help individuals gain self-sufficiency and transition to a stable housing environment. The application was recently approved and this authorization from City Council completes the steps necessary for transfer of the property.
