Analysis of Issues.
o what is the purpose of a capital Improvements Plan?
The Capital Improvements Plan is a five-year forecast of project
needs in the City of Hopkins. It is intended to alert the Council
and citizens to the major capital needs on the horizon. The Capital
Improvements Plan is intended to be a planning tool and is 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 capital budget. The
remaining four years represent an estimate of project needs and
funding capabilities of the City.
o What are the highlights of the proposed plan?
The proposed five-year Capital Improvements Plan, not including
equipment replacement needs, outlines projects totalling $20,897,200
over the 1993-1997 period. This compares with total projects
amounting to over $12 million in the previous five-year Capital
Improvements Plan (1992-1996). A primary reason for the large
difference is the inclusion in the C.I.P. of improvements to County
Road 3 and Shady Oak Road.
For 1993, $2,571,300 in projects and equipment are proposed. This
compares with $1,660;000 proposed for 1993 in the previous five-year
Capital Improvements Plan.
Major projects within the Capital Improvements Plan for 1993 include:
o
WA-2 Elmo Park Treatment Facility
- $275,000
- $200,000

o
