City adopts $35.6 million Capital Facilities Plan

The Mill Creek City Council adopted the 2011-2017 Capital Facilities Plan at a Public Hearing held on Tuesday, July 6, 2010.  The 2011-2017 Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is a seven-year outline of capital projects and programs the City is continuing or initiating. It is revised and updated every other year immediately preceding the preparation of the City’s biennial budget. The first two years of the CFP provides the capital expenditure framework for the budget.  As a planning document the CFP is intended to provide only an outline of the projects, their time schedule, approximate budget, and funding sources.  It does not provide detail on the specifics of each project.  The detail is developed when each project moves from the planning stage to the design process.

 As required by City Council Resolution No. 96‑222, the CFP was drafted by a committee composed of three Council Members, two Planning Commissioners, the Finance Director, and the City Manager.  The draft prepared by the Committee was then reviewed by the City Council twice before adoption at the public hearing.  This year the CFP Committee met seven times to review and prioritize the proposed projects.  Of the original list of 69 projects, 42 were included in the adopted plan.  Since the CFP process is undertaken every other year, all projects not included in this review cycle have the opportunity to be submitted again for inclusion in the next CFP.

 The information on this website includes:

·        A financial summary for the 2011-2017 CF

·        A tabular listing of the 42 projects that shows the schedule and expenditures for
   each project by year with funding sources

·        Projects that were proposed but did not receive funding

·        Projects that were included in the CFP, but reduced in scope and funding

 A full copy of the 50-page CFP, which includes more detailed information on each of the 42 projects, is available for review at City Hall, 15728 Main Street.  Questions or comments on the adopted CFP can be directed to Tom Gathmann, Public Works Director, at tomg@cityofmillcreek.com.
