Capital Improvement Plan
Role and Purpose
The City's ongoing, long-term Capital Improvement Program helps manage and maintain critical city infrastructure and guides investments in community assets. Critical infrastructure includes the City's water, sewer and stormwater systems, streets, sidewalks, and more. The program also helps guide investments in parks and equipment.
The program is managed by the Parks & Public Works Department. The Capital Improvement Plan is the 6-year document adopted by the City Council that identifies and manages capital projects, including determining associated costs and timelines and identifying project funding sources.
Capital Improvement Plan
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a planning and financial management tool that helps the City of Snoqualmie identify and prioritize capital investments over a six-year period. Based on staff recommendations, public input, and Council deliberation, the CIP establishes the scope and cost of capital investments, estimates funding from various sources, and balances both cost and estimated sources in a cohesive and efficient financial plan.
This long-term plan increases the transparency of the capital decision-making process. Given its explicit and forward-looking nature, the City of Snoqualmie can avoid longer-term adverse financial and operating surprises by creating and adopting a CIP and including projects and programs in the biennial budget.
