Capital Improvements Program presented to City Council and Planning Board
posted on 10/17/2024
City Manager J. Michael Joyal, Jr., presented the proposed Fiscal Year 2024-2031 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) during a City Council and Planning Board joint workshop on Oct. 16.
The six-year CIP outlines significant capital expenditures over $25,000 with a useful life of three years or more, including the funding source for each project, such as capital reserve funds, bonding, grant funding, and the annual operating budget. The CIP also links the projects to the priorities outlined in the city’s Master Plan.
The detailed CIP document is accessible online and physically at City Hall’s Planning Department and the Dover Public Library. The joint workshop is available for viewing online and on Channel 22.
In an informational video "Understanding the CIP" released this week, Planning Director Donna Benton explains the CIP process and highlights some of the projects the document contains. Benton also discussed the CIP on the Oct. 15 episode of the Dover Download podcast. Both are available on the CIP webpage https://www.dover.nh.gov/government/city-operations/planning/special-projects/cip/.
The Planning Board reviews the CIP to ensure the proposed projects are based on the priorities established by the city's Master Plan. It will begin its review process on Tuesday, Oct. 22, where it will also hold a public hearing. After its review, the Planning Board will provide its recommendation to the City Council.
The City Council will begin its CIP review at a Wednesday, Nov. 6 workshop. At its Wednesday, Nov. 13 meeting, the Council will hold public hearings on the CIP resolutions. The Council is tentatively scheduled to adopt the CIP at its Wednesday, Dec. 11 meeting.
The CIP includes three resolutions: adopting the six-year document, approving FY26 capital reserve fund appropriations for non-debt financed projects, and authorizing appropriation and bonding for FY26 debt-financed projects. The CIP’s first-year projects and appropriations will become part of the FY26 municipal budget that City Manager Joyal will present to the City Council in February 2025.
