That project is the Public Safety/City Hall building project and the associated road and infrastructure construction project — Ravine Parkway. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the CIP at their 10/25/2010 meeting which is required for amending the Comprehensive Plan which includes the CIP. The 2011-2015 CIP was approved on a 6 — 1 vote. For 2011, the CIP includes $21.7 million in projects and they are listed below.

(Continued from September 27, 2010, Planning Commission Meeting) Blin summarized some of the projects proposed in the CIP and their funding sources. He recommended that the Commission find that this five -year capital improvement plan is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan. Messick asked if there is a graph showing the city's debt and the ideal curve. Blin responded that the Finance Department did not have that ready yet. He explained that graph showed how debt is retired and new debt comes on and that the city tries to keep it even over time. He stated that the city tries to keep the levy on individual homeowners consistent over time so there are not big spikes and downturns. Rambacher asked how the change allowing developers to construct public improvements in their developments, i.e.; Pinecliff 3rd Addition, impacts the CIP. Blin explained that developer assessments would go down. The city has been constructing those improvements for the developers and charging them back. Under the new program, developers would be paying those costs up front. Rambacher asked why the city had been constructing those improvements. Blin responded to ensure city standards were met for improvement projects because those are public streets that the city owns and maintains. The trend with cities has been to move from publicly constructed to privately constructed improvements with controls on how they are designed and installed. It also puts the financial risk on the developer and not on the city. Linse asked about the gross levy for 2010 versus 2011 on page 66 regarding what the increase represents. Blin stated that he would have to check with the Finance Department.
