PURPOSE
This report is for City Council information only and requires no action by City Council. Attached is the status report for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects through June 30, 2017. The project name, a brief description and status update is provided for each project. If the City Council has questions about any of the projects included in this report, Staff will follow up with additional information. Staff will also be present on August 8, 2017 to highlight other urban renewal efforts currently under way. Staff will also share updates on other programmatic areas within the urban renewal authority on August 8, 2017.
BACKGROUND
Staff have compiled the attached status report on Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects for activities through June 30, 2017.
Attachment A, "Definitions - Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project Status Report", serves as a guide and provides general definitions for information presented within the project status reports within Attachments B. The following is a summary of key content within Attachment A:
• The “Updated” column on the far left side of the attached reports will have a "U" if the project information (such as the description, status, budget, projected completion date or percent complete) has been updated, or it will have “New” typed in to identify any new projects added to the CIP Status Report since last period, or it will have “To Be Closed” typed in to identify projects that have either been closed in the financial management system or will be closed this year. If a project does not have a mark designating that an update has been provided, it does not necessarily mean that no work has been conducted on the project during the most recent period; it simply means that nothing substantial enough to report to BURA has occurred that warrants providing an update.
• The project name, a brief description of the project, project status, project budget, project expenditures as of June 30, 2017, the project manager(s), engineering firms/contractors, start date, projected completion date and percent complete is provided for each project.
Attachment B, "Capital Improvement Program - Major Projects", contains projects with definitive start and end dates. Approximate start and projected end dates are provided for these projects, along with an estimate of percent complete. The percent complete is specific to project activities and may not reflect the percent of budget expended, due to various factors, such as the timing associated with invoice processing.
While projects are categorized as BURA projects within Attachment B, some projects may receive funding from the General Fund or Utility Funds but are listed only once, in order to consolidate the information within the report and minimize redundancy.
Projects within this staff report support the priorities previously established by the Brighton Urban Renewal Authority by working to create ways to activate the public realm in the downtown as well as using the gateway at South Main Street as a catalytic opportunity to facilitate a transformational redevelopment project in the city. Further, supports City Council’s goals of redeveloping the downtown, ensuring we have adequate public infrastructure to accommodate continued redevelopment, and providing public urban open spaces to enjoy.
