A capital project is defined as a major capital expenditure exceeding SIO,O00 in value, with a fixed life of ten years or more; a separate, discrete improvement that has a specific purpose in developing, upgrading, replacing, or maintaining the existing and future capital assets. 2. Capital planning and budgeting involves the systematic development of a long-term plan for meeting public facility and major equipment needs. 3. The CIP identifies capital projects planned for funding and implementation within a six-year period and beyond. 4. The CIP includes annual capital budgets, appropriating funds to specific capital projects to be undertaken during the next fiscal year. B. The CIP Process 1. The CIP is to be updated biennially before June 30th. Stability and continuity are primary objectives, but the Council may amend the CIP by a simple majority if a decision must be made prior to the next CIP review period. 2. The CIP is a major implementation tool for the concepts presented in the City's comprehensive plans. It is the City's policy to have these plans be directly reflected in the CIP. 3. The City of Bremerton will use a documented process to identify and prioritize capital projects. 4. Bremerton's City Council will review the status of CIP projects on a regular basis. C. Setting Priorities and Selectinq Projects 1. CIP policies are intended to strike a balance between prioities which may sometimes compete. 2. The CIP includes expenditures necessary to complete or continue projects initiated in previous years, 3. 'The City's policy is to identify and address the initial, start-up, and ongoing costs of each capital project. 1 4.

ClP projects will be designed in compliance with City of Bremerton's engineering, building, planning and other standards. D. ClP Financing I. Projects will be initially funded only for preliminary engineering and planning work. This funding will not provide monies to develop final plans, specifications purchase right-of- way or construct the project. An estimated amount sufficient to cover design and construction will be allocated for projects after the City Council grants authorization to proceed based on review and'acceptance of the preliminary planning and engineering study. 2. Whenever a proposed project negatively impacts other facilities, mitigation of those impacts will also be a part of the projects cost. This policy applies to Local Improvement Districts (LIDs), developer-initiated projects, utility initiated projects, and projects initiated by other City departments. 3. To the extend possible, financing for capital projects shall be derived from funding sources in the following priority orier: a. Specifically benefitted property b. Intergovernmental cost sharing c. Private/public partnerships d. Grants-in-aid e. Fee-for-service f. Specific purpose, long-term financing g. General obligation bonds 4. If project costs change, LID or other participants and the City will share in any increased or decreased project costs. i~ oroject revenues from outside sources increase, these addition re'-enues will offset the City's contribution first and then the LiD cr other participants' costs.
