You may not think about it every day, but it’s the sidewalk you walk on, the park or library at which you meet your friends, even the pipes that carry water that comes out of your faucet. Assets such as these are operated and managed by the City of Austin, and they are part of a larger system of infrastructure that affects each and every person’s quality of life. The City is responsible for ensuring adequate infrastructure is available to citizens throughout the City. Through the Capital Improvement Program, the City makes sure that the infrastructure it owns operates safely, effectively, and at a level of service that the public expects. The Capital Improvement Program works in tandem with the Operations and Maintenance Program. The Long-Range Capital Improvement Program Strategic Plan is a data-driven approach to planning for …

CIP Working Group DRAFT_5 14 2019 i To: Spencer Cronk, City Manager From: The City of Austin Planning Commission Date: June 30, 2019 Subject: Transmittal of the Long-Range Capital Improvement Program Strategic Plan The Planning Commission is pleased to transmit the FYs 2019-2021 Long-Range Capital Improvement Program Strategic Plan (LRCSP). The LRCSP serves as a key link between the vision articulated in Imagine Austin with the City’s capital investments. The LRCSP is part of a larger Capital Improvement Program planning cycle, a multi-year, continuous process of planning, funding, and implementation of capital improvements, that also includes the Five-Year CIP Plan and the annual Capital Budget. Transmittal of the LRCSP to the City Manager allows the Planning Commission to meet its requirement under the Charter to submit a list of projects to the City Manager which implement the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan as per City Charter Article X, Section 4 (4): “The Planning Commission shall…Submit annually to the city manager, not less than ninety (90) days prior to the beginning of a budget year, a list of recommended capital improvements, which in the opinion of the commission are necessary or desirable to implement the adopted comprehensive plan or element or portion thereof during the forthcoming five-year period.” The LRCSP was first developed and transmitted to the City Manager in 2013 and was most recently updated in spring 2017. Moving forward the LRCSP will be updated every 2 years. The Comprehensive Plan Joint Committee of Planning Commission and ZAP participated in development of this year’s Long Range CIP Strategic Plan, appointed a 3 member CIP Working Group to review the draft LRCSP in detail and to develop the draft transmittal memo, and finalized a transmittal memo for consideration by the Planning Commission. The full Zoning and Platting Commission was also briefed on the LRCSP before the LRCSP and draft transmittal memo went before the Planning Commission for its consideration on June 11, 2019. This collaboration gives us the opportunity to give the City Manager more specific recommendations based on the pressing issues each of the commissions deal with regularly. From our key vantage point, our two commissions can assess the opportunities and obstacles presented by our current infrastructure capacity and conditions. Increasingly, we are presented with critical planning decisions that are dependent on the availability of adequate infrastructure. Austin’s rapid growth rate strains our ability to meet both planning and infrastructure needs. …
