Five-year capital plan shows $49.2M next-year spend; Village Hall and stormwater lead list

The commission heard a capital-improvement presentation summarizing a five-year program that identifies about $230.4 million in projects and nearly $49.2 million planned for the next fiscal year. Public works and capital-staff emphasized the centrality of Village Hall and stormwater resilience projects to next-year spending, and the active construction on Butler Island stormwater work.

Capital staff (Roger) said 10 projects are fully funded, four are partially funded and seven lack identified funding. He noted Village Hall is the single largest next-year expenditure and that bids will be opened imminently; staff warned that the Village Hall cost estimate could change after bids are received. Roger also described mobility and pedestrian projects (road resurfacing and bus-shelter upgrades) and said the design phases for several stormwater projects are near completion.

Commissioners asked for specific funding plans and for staff to pursue grant opportunities; staff said grant managers are actively tracking opportunities and that the project list will be updated as awards arrive. The commission directed staff to return with funding updates and options to close gaps before final budget adoption.
