Michigan 48226 www.detroitmi.gov November 2, 2020 HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL RE: Proposed Five-Year Capital Agenda In accordance with provisions of the City Charter, I hereby submit to you my Administration's recommendation forcapital improvements as contained in this document, the Capital Agenda, for the five-year period 2021-22 to 2025-26. The current fiscalyear, along with this five-year Capital Agenda, recommends a total of almost $1.88 billion for projects from various sources. The 2020 Capital Agenda displays our commitment to investing in our neighborhoods and the infrastructure that supports critical City services. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related revenue shortfalls, we have prudently reduced our General Fund spending on capital and blight removal. This Capital Agenda provides a path to fundingour needed infrastructure and neighborhood investments without raising taxes. It also shows a long-term strategy to leverage city sources, state and federal funding, and philanthropy to make targeted investments that improve quality of life forDetroiters. Together with City Council, we have made prudent financialdecisions that have prepared us forthis recession and allowed us to returnto the bond market on Detroit's own credit. Through this pandemic and beyond we will make strategic capital investments that guide the long-term growth and stability of our city. We look forward to engaging with members of City Council in their review of the Capital Agenda over the next fewmonths.

During this time, we have installed 65,000 new LED streetlights to relight the City, demolished over 21,000 dangerous vacant houses, replaced 120 buses to improve transportation service, replaced public safety vehicles to reduce Police and EMS response times, and renovated over 155 parks. Due to the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and reduced availability of cash capital, this Capital Agenda focuses the City's bond funding on infrastructure investments that support critical services for Detroiters and neighborhood improvements that fundamentally advance Detroiters’ lived environment without increasing taxes above current levels. This means that not all departmental requests will be funded. Instead this Capital Agenda prioritizes projects that promote the state of good repair for essential facilities, vehicles and IT equipment. It also continues the City's focus on improving our neighborhoods through residential rehab and demo, park improvements, greenways, and commercial corridors. This Capital Agenda is affordable within the City’s newly published debt affordability limits, under which the City plans to reduce General Fund debt to allow the City to shift General Fund resources towards the Retiree Protection Fund. Our strong public-private partnerships will continue to create unprecedented financial impact and investment opportunities, with programs like the Strategic Neighborhood Fund (SNF) and the Affordable Housing Leverage Fund (AHLF) creating over $1 billion dollars in investments into our neighborhoods.
