STRATEGIC PLAN:7.5. Funding and Delivery of City Services: Use equitable and sustainable sources of funding for appropriate City services, and deliver them in a lean and efficient manner.

Staff will present an overview of the capital planning process including schedule and opportunities for board and public comment on the CIP.
