Olympia's 2011-2016 Preliminary CFP totals approximately $158.4 million, which is 11% less than the current six-year plan. The draft plan is posted on the city's website, www.olympiawa.gov. The City Council will finalize and adopt the Capital Facilities Plan as part of the city's annual budget process in November and December.
What are Capital Facilities?
Capital facilities are all around us. They are the public facilities we all use on a daily basis, and possibly take for granted. They are our public streets, sidewalks and transportation facilities; our city parks and recreation facilities; our public buildings such as libraries, fire stations, and community centers; our public water systems that bring us safe drinking water; and the sanitary sewer systems that collect our wastewater for treatment and safe disposal. While a Capital Facilities Plan does not cover routine maintenance, it does include renovation and major repair or reconstruction of damaged or deteriorating facilities.
Explanation about the City of Olympia Capital Facilities Plan (CFP)
The proposed CFP is a multi-year plan of capital projects, 2011-2016, with projected beginning and completion dates, estimated costs, and proposed methods of financing. The Plan is reviewed and updated annually to reflect the availability of resources, changes in city policy and community needs, unexpected emergencies and events, and changes in cost and financial strategies.
It is important to understand that a multi-year Capital Facilities Plan does not represent a financial commitment. Appropriations are made in the city's Capital Budget, which is the first year of the capital program. Projects beyond the current year Capital Budget should not be viewed as a commitment to fund the project, but instead as an indication that given the information available at the time, the city plans to move forward with the project in the future.
