Seven and a half hour City Council meeting yesterday…proud of my fellow Council members…we passed a budget for next year that doesn’t raise taxes, passed a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan and worked on a way to pay for it, rejected a plan to change our Comprehensive Plan after listening to 160 citizens testify against it…it was a good day for democracy!

Sun Valley City Council Meeting July 7, 2011
On Thursday July 7, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. we have a Special Sun Valley City Council meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to present the City’s Draft Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to the public for its input.
City staff and elected officials have been developing the CIP over the past two years. It addresses specific infrastructure needs (streets, facilities, fixed assets and land) of the City for the next five years with projections out to year 2031. As it is a “want” list, there are certainly areas that are more critically needed than others, and that is where public input will be very important. This will help the Council in determining further prioritization and evaluation of funding sources.
It is anticipated by the Council that the meeting on July 7th will be the first of several as we undergo the full evaluation of the CIP.
Unfortunately, it appears City staff has not posted the Draft CIP on the City website yet. As soon as it is up, I will post a link to it here. UPDATE: City staff finally posted the Draft CIP on the City website (on 7-6-11 the day before the meeting), but it takes some looking to find it. Go to the far right column on the City home page, approximately half way down the page and you will see 7 dark green links. Since they were unable to copy it into a manageable size, you will have to look at each of the seven links to review the entire Draft CIP.
