Jackson In January 2007, my administration re-instituted a Five Year Capital Improvement Program for the City of Cleveland and linked the Program to Connecting Cleveland 2020, the Citywide Plan. This year, we are proposing to issue $31.2 million in additional debt, which is slightly more than the amount of prior debt we will retire during the year. In developing our 2011 capital spending plan, I instructed my Cabinet officials to consider the following priorities. Reorganize for Efficiencies Our most significant expenditures in 2011— $4 million for an 800 mHZ radio system, $4.27 million for a new East Side Maintenance Facility, and $2.5 million for recycling containers—are all focused on improving the City’s operations through enhanced efficiencies. The 800 mHZ investment will address one of the City’s biggest needs for homeland security, emergency and day-to-day operations- that is the need for interoperability amongst City employees in various departments and partnering emergency response agencies. The East Side Maintenance Facility will allow the newly-formed Department of Public Works to consolidate service delivery, similar to the approach we’ve used to clean vacant lots and rights-of-way in our “Clean Cleveland” program.

Jackson Photo Credits: City of Cleveland Photographic Bureau Special Thanks To: Xander Mavrides, Cleveland | GIS Office Tarra Seifullah Petras | Office of the Mayor Annette Williams | Division of Printing and Reproduction A Letter From Mayor Frank G. Jackson This 2015 Five Year Capital Improvement Program represents our ninth annual installment since I took office in 2006. We are proposing to issue $100 million in additional bond debt in 2015: This dollar amount represents about four times the debt the City retires in an average year, and is largely driven by four major initiatives: $25 million for targeted neighborhoods, $20 million to restore the condition of the City’s vehicle fleet, over $34 million for roads and bridges, and over $20 million to repair existing facilities. In developing our capital spending plan for 2015, I have set the following priorities. Pavement Management for Roads Last year I initiated an aggressive program for the repair of the City’s worst-rated streets as measured by our pavement management ratings. Using $2 million from our 2014 bond issue, we leveraged an additional $10 in federal monies from the Northeast Ohio Area Coordinating Agency (“NOACA”) and commenced resurfacing nearly 17 miles on eight streets with a 61 average pavement condition rating. We have an equally aggressive program planned for 2015, and we are also attempting to leverage State and County monies for resurfacing projects. By 2016, we hope to have achieved resurfacing on all streets with below-70 pavement condition ratings.
