The FY2017-2021 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) supports improved delivery of services and an improved quality of living for Houstonians, with an emphasis on drainage, transportation infrastructure, mobility, quality of life, affordable housing and public safety. The plan emphasizes the replacement and rehabilitation of existing facilities and the selective addition and expansion of facilities.
The FY2017-2021 CIP book contains vertical construction projects supported by the General Services Department for its clients (Fire, Health, Library, Parks, Police and Solid Waste), projects supported by Public Works and Engineering (Street & Traffic, Storm Drainage, Water and Wastewater) and the Houston Airport System. In addition, Information Technology, Fleet, and Component Units citywide capital programs are included.
The FY2017-2021 CIP calls for appropriations of over $8.7 billion during the five-year period. Planned appropriations for the Public Improvement & Citywide Capital Programs total approximately $811 million, Component Unit Programs $770 million and $7.1 billion for the Enterprise Programs.
The Finance Department recommends that City Council approve the FY2017-2021 CIP and establish a charge of $75.00 plus postage per book to cover printing costs and $5.00 plus postage for a CD version, both of which can be purchased at the City Secretary’s office. The adopted CIP will be available for public viewing at the Downtown Library and on the City’s website located at http://www.houstontx.gov/cip/
