Background and Analysis:
The Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is a 20-year plan to implement the Comprehensive Plan vision. It shows how the city will provide urban governmental services at adopted levels of service standards for the existing and projected population growth in the City and Urban Growth Area. It includes project timing, location, costs, and funding sources for capital projects. Also part of the CFP is a six-year financially constrained plan with identified projects, anticipated costs, and proposed funding sources.
The Planning Commission is responsible for reviewing the plan, holding a Public Hearing, and providing comments to City Council. On Monday, August 19, the Commission received an introductory briefing on the CFP by Administrative Services Director Debbie Sullivan. The purpose of this meeting is for Commissioners to receive additional information from staff who are subject matter experts in the different types of projects that are included in the CFP.
No deliberation on the CFP will occur, and no action will be taken by Commissioners. This is an opportunity for Commissioners to receive information from staff and ask clarifying questions. The Commission will host a Public Hearing on Monday, September 16, after which they will deliberate and develop a recommendation for City Council.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
Capital facilities and the projects that help build and maintain them, are located throughout the city.

Financial Impact:
The 2020-2025 Capital Facilities Plan totals $156,604,404 in new and ongoing capital projects that support the community’s vision as embodied in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. This is largely consistent with prior years, but the total costs of 2020 (or year 1) CFP projects increased 16% over 2019. This is mainly due to an increase in utility projects and the addition of the recently passed Home Fund initiative, which will increase the City’s investment in permanent supportive housing.
