structured to present a meaningful, long-range perspective of the
city's capital programming needs. At the same time, sufficient
program details are provided to enable those who review the
information to make informed decisions on the program projects over
the next five years. The first year of the plan presumes an adopted

project needs and funding capabilities of the city.
