Every year, the City adopts a Capital Improvement Plan for the next five years. Capital Improvements include any one-time expenditure over $5,000 in the form of equipment or construction.
Major utility construction projects include a major upgrade to our water facilities, which will provide needed production, storage, and delivery capacity to meet the current water demands
and future water demands as our population grows. The current water upgrades will be funded over several years with a combination of operating reserves and a loan from the Department
of Environmental Quality (DEQ) of up to $11,100,000, which includes principal forgiveness of up to $2,211,300. We project to spend over $12,000,000 on the water improvements and complete
these projects by the end of the calendar year 2020.
The Wastewater Treatment Department anticipates spending $1,000,000 on Blower/VFD replacements and $150,000 for seven new pasteurization pumps at the treatment plant and will be conducting
a sewer facilities study as well for $100,000. Included in the fiscal year 2020 budget is $ 4 million for a gravity fed sewer line and lift station to provide improved collections
and expand capacity for the North West side of the city. The contributions for the sewer line project are still being determined and will include claw back fees to be paid by future
development and contributions from other cities that use that infrastructure as well. The Wastewater Collections Department has also budgeted $350,000 for a lift station rebuild near
Barney Dairy Road and also plans to extend services near the intersection of 2nd East and Moody Road.
The Airport Feasibility Study will continue through 2020 and we hope to begin the Environmental Assessment portion of the study by fiscal year end. These projects are funded approximately
90% by the FAA, up to 5% by the State of Idaho, and the rest by the City and the County. The City is setting aside reserve funds to meet their portion of any match if a final decision
to relocate the airport is made. The city projects to have $891,400 of reserve set aside by the end of Fiscal Year 2020.
The City has budgeted $1,600,000 to construct a new baseball/softball quad at Community Fields and the projected completion date of this project is fall 2020. We have a written memorandum
of understanding with the school district for this project in place. Funding from the Urban renewal agency and the parks impact fees will help make this project possible.
The budget includes an increased amount of funding dedicated to the remodel and restoration of the Romance Theatre ($274,900).
