This enables the city to foresee repair and replacement needs.

A capital improvement program requires the involvement of the City Council, administration, operating departments, and citizens to achieve program implementation and success. The successful implementation depends upon the fiscal capability of the the City to finance approved projects, annual program update, and technical review for project feasibility.
