The CIP shows the allocation of projected expenditures for capital projects expected over the next five years. The CIP includes those items typically considered as “infrastructure”—streets, sewer lines, bridges, etc., as well as facilities through which City government provides services directly to citizens or in support of City operations. The latter category includes such facilities as police precincts, recreation amenities, maintenance facilities, and general office buildings. The CIP covers all facilities that City government owns and has responsibility for. It includes facilities of both general government operations and enterprise operations. The Water and Sewer System and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport are enterprise operations. The enterprise operations are self-supporting and generate their own capital funds through revenue bonding or operating revenues, while general government capital improvements rely on annual bond issues and voter approved general obligation bonds, as well as general and internal service funds, and dedicated tax millage and grants. The CIP is based on the City’s Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP). The CDP is intended to provide policy direction for the capital funds budgeted in the annual budget and implementation of the Georgia Development Impact Fee Act, the annual General Obligation Bond issue and other capital fund sources. The CDP programs and projects are separate from the CIP and are identified as the Short Term Work Program (STWP). The CIP document is submitted with the STWP to the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA), as required by the Georgia Planning Act, in order for the City of Atlanta to maintain its Qualified Local Government (QLG) status. The CIP/STWP has to be adopted every year by October 31st. QLG status makes the City of Atlanta eligible for various state and regional funding and to collect impact fees. Capital Improvements - Definitions The CIP identifies major improvements and capital purchases needed to improve services to the community. Projects covered in this Program involve City infrastructure and facilities, which have the following characteristics: any project, facility or equipment with a monetary value of at least $25,000 and will last longer than 5 years. any project, facility or equipment, which meets the above criterion and will benefit from extended life through renovation, replacement, refurbishment or expansion. any project, facility or equipment that is currently funded in an existing capital improvement or bond program that will not be completed by June 30, 2013. any project that results in purchase, improvement or development of land. City of Atlanta - 2013-2017 Capital Improvement Program-Short Term Work Program 1 Introduction Normal equipment items, such as rolling stock, are not part of the CIP process and are treated as operating budget items. As noted, the City CIP covers City government capital projects only. These projects are carried out to provide the facilities for the provision of City services, to supply the basic infrastructure of streets, bridges, sewers, sidewalks, etc. and to support, encourage and shape the direction of private development. Many other factors influence infrastructure development in the City, such as the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), the Atlanta Housing Authority, the BeltLine, the State and Federal Governments, Community Improvement Districts and the Atlanta Board of Education. Also, private developments directly interact with the future and direction of City growth, requiring City involvement and support and providing the opportunity to leverage focused private investment with City resources. CIP/STWP Plan Development and Approval The CIP Subcabinet, a committee comprised of representatives from each City Department, was responsible for developing project listings based on identified and projected needs. Each department is responsible for completing the information for each project listed in the CIP and for ensuring projects included in the document could be linked to identified funding sources. The 2013-2017 Capital Improvements Program was developed by the CIP Subcabinet. After an initial public hearing on June 11th 2012, the CIP/STWP was sent to ARC and DCA for a 60 day review. A second public hearing will be held on September 10th, 2012. Afterwards, CIP/STWP will be before City Council for adoption. The management and implementation of projects in each specific chapter are the Department’s responsibility. The Office of Planning in the Department of Planning and Community Development is responsible for preparing the CIP document and
