The Capital Budget, which provides funding for improvements with a useful life of at least five years, includes General Capital projects, Restricted Funds Capital projects, and projects supported with Federal and State Capital Grant Matching Funds. This budget represents the first two years of a six-year Capital Improvement Program. Following this introduction is the Analysis of Available Resources and then the Analysis of Expenditures. After the overview sections are two summary reports: Projects by Program and Projects by Neighborhood. The summary reports are followed by the Operating Budget Impact report, which provides a description of the Capital Budget’s impact on the Operating Budget. An individual section for each departmental FY 2020- 2025 Capital Improvement Program follows the Operating Budget Impact report. A capital improvement or capital project is defined as the purchase or improvement of a City asset, including construction or rehabilitation that provides an asset for the City’s use or, in the case of an existing asset, increases the value of the public asset or extends its useful life. Capital improvements are made to improve the value of City assets and are relatively large expenditure items, compared to operating budget items. The City Council may also designate a capital improvement through its authority to establish public policy and identify a public purpose when making capital improvement expenditures. A capital improvement is expected to have a useful life of at least five years, compared to operating budget items, which are consumed in the daily delivery of City services. The nature of a capital improvement lends itself to long-term planning and a combination of financing mechanisms. In Cincinnati, General Capital improvements are funded primarily by property tax-supported bond proceeds, income tax receipts, and Southern Railway note proceeds. The necessary lead time involved in engineering a project, acquiring and clearing sites, or in securing State or Federal funds may require the funding of project phases over several years. Enterprise and Special Revenue capital projects are generally funded by user fees to operate and maintain facilities, such as the Water Works system. A six-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a plan for capital investment in Cincinnati’s future through improving City streets, bridges, recreation facilities, parks, health facilities, and buildings, all of which enhance the delivery of services and the quality of life in Cincinnati. The CIP coordinates the financing and timing of improvements to maximize the value to the public. This Capital Budget process began with City departments making requests for capital projects. These requests include ongoing projects, improvements to existing assets, previously funded phased projects, and new projects. The requested capital projects were reviewed by the City Planning Department to assess each project's level of consistency with Plan Cincinnati, the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Capital Budget development process aims to align the CIP with the prioritized citywide strategies outlined in Plan Cincinnati, which serves as a long-range guide to manage growth, protect the environment, and influence future development in the City. All department capital project requests were considered by the Executive Budget Review Team, which includes the City Manager, Assistant City Managers, Finance Director, and HR Director. The City Manager, in turn, developed the Capital Budget recommendations, which are submitted to the Mayor for further consideration prior to submission to the City Council.
