A Message from the Imaginarium Director We strive at the Imaginarium to provide a fun and dynamic place for you and your children to share and make memories, but there is alot more go- ing on here... A Children’s Museum is defi ned as an institution committed to serving the needs and interests of children by providing exhibits and pro- grams that stimulate curiosity and motivate learning. We do this through a variety of hands-on science-based exhibits that provide fi rsthand experience and an opportunity to develop intuitions about the natural world. They offer people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to ask questions, discuss, and explore. Our aim is to motivate life-long learning, which is how anybody opens the doors of opportunity. The pathway to future economic growth will be made by creative problem-solvers who are curious, persistent and risk-takers. Failure is not the end, it is a challenge. TX 78041 Laredo, 505 Ste. 5300 San Dario, Imaginarium of South Texas We want our kids to be creative inventors of a future that we as their parents can only imagine. And all this starts with allowing kids to dream, to create, and to do. With new permanent Exhibits “Thinking Tinkering” and “Green Screen”, and traveling exhibits “Body Carnival” in October and “Air Play” in January, we are a place for exploring, investigating, and playing. We are proud of this, and invite you to join us as we continue to bring these oppor- tunities of DOING to you and your children. We want to especially thank the LAMAR BRUNI VERGARA TRUST for their support of our traveling exhibit program this upcoming 2009-2010 year. Without this support, this exhibit schedule would not have been possible. We also thank UNION PACIFIC for their support this year. Thank-you from all of us at the Imaginarium of South Texas.

  • 2021 2025 City of Laredo
    Adopted Capital improvement plan 2021 2025 City of Laredo Adopted 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program Capital Improvements The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) assists in the planning, acquisition, and financing of capital projects. Capital project funds are designated to account for all activity, revenues, and expenditures, on each capital project. Benefits of the City’s CIP include: Allowing the City to clearly assess its needs. Ensuring proposed projects will best serve the community. Promoting financial stability through long term planning of resources and needs. Educating and promoting collaboration among the Mayor, Council, and City management to ensure that the City’s vision is upheld. Definition The classification of a project as a capital improvement is based on the project’s cost and frequency of funding. A capital improvement is relatively costly and funded infrequently. Capital improvement projects will typically meet at least one of the following criteria: 1. Address or enhance the City’s assets. 2. New construction, expansion, renovations, or replacement of existing facilities have an expenditure of at least $25,000 over the life of the project. 3. Major maintenance or rehabilitation of existing facilities which require an expenditure of $10,000 or more have an economic life of at least 10 years. Capital improvement projects include the acquisition, construction, and improvement of major items. Major equipment (expensive and long useful life), new property (buildings, land, and parks), public improvement projects (road and park improvements, sidewalk/bikeway/path projects, etc.), facility improvements, and vehicle replacements are some examples of projects considered capital improvement. Ranking Criteria and Process The capital improvement projects, with the assistance of other support staff, are ranked numerous times by the Departments, City Manager, the Budget Department, and Director of Finance.
