Consideration of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Mr. Warden presented a draft CIP for the years 1984 through 1989. He indicated that this document is extensive in that it pro- vides a point of comparison as to what might be done to reach the goals which Council established in terms of building a police facility. He emphasized that this is merely a guideline. It is based upon assumptions that the revenue base will increase 7% per year and that personnel costs will go up 5% per year. He explained that Council could change any set of assumptions in order to accomplish the goals which have been set or might be set in the future. He emphasized that the CIP affords an opportunity to analyze the impact of certain actions on both revenue and expenditures for all departments. Mr. Warden stated that personnel increases have not been con- sidered in the CIP. He also emphasized that it is a five year pro- jection and that it gives staff and others in the City an idea of what might be accomplished and in what time frame they might be accomp- lished. Mr. Warden stated that it is used as a starting point for the annual budget. Healsostated that there is no way of knowing what might happen as far as legislation changing the revenue or expenditure outlook. Councilman Nelson referred to a particular motion in a previous_ meeting regarding a placement of $300,000 in the budget for the police facility in the 1983/84 year. He also stated that after reviewing the CIP, he understands it to be that the City cannot afford to build a police facility until 1988/89. Mr. Warden confirmed Councilman Nelson's assumption, based upon the analysis provided. MOTION: Councilman Wilkins moved to adopt Program A of the CIP on the grounds that this document was not permanent and could be changed at any time to reflect other ideas that might be appropriate.
