Wellington City Council to ask for public input on 5-year Capital Improvement project plan
by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — So what is the future of Wellington? What projects would you like to see the city complete with your tax money.
The Wellington City Council is encouraging all city taxpayers to attend a public information meeting/council work session on Thursday, June 13 at 6 p.m. at the Memorial Auditorium in Wellington.
The purpose of the public information meeting/council work session is to discuss the proposed 2014-2019 Capital Improvement Plan and various projects/issues.
So what exactly is a Capital Improvement Plan? Think of it as a city to-do list.
Every half decade, the council puts together a list of projects which need to be done in the next five years.
Wellington City Manager Gus Collins said the objective is to analyze projects that would be needed and to start the process of providing funding for the prioritized projects so that there is no shocking developments moving forward.
Collins gave the examples of the Lincoln Street Improvement project and the Vandenburgh Improvement project as two projects that were included in the previous year CIPs.
He said 90 projects were submitted to the City Manager’s office by department heads and were then sent to the Planning Commission to rate and review.
Collins said the Planning Commission ratings were then passed on to the council to review. He said the reason for this meeting is to see what the public thinks.
“This list in no way set in stone,” Collins said. “We will adopt it in the middle of August along with the annual budget, but it will be up for review annually.”
The master list which has already been reviewed by the Wellington Planning Commission is listed below. Collins encourages the public to review the list and see if there is a project not listed or one that is not prioritized high enough.
