TO:                       Mayor Wythe and Homer City Council
THROUGH:       Katie Koester, City Manager
FROM:                 Patrick Lawrence, Assistant City Manager
DATE:                  September 23, 2015
SUBJECT:         2016-2021 CIP; FY 2017 Legislative Request

The City of Homer Capital Improvement Plan for 2016-2021 is currently in draft form and requires Council approval for certain changes.

Three new projects have been proposed for inclusion in the CIP.

-Two new City of Homer projects have been proposed:

Boat House Pavilion and Plaza on the Homer Spit
Multi-Use Community Center

-One new project has been requested by a non-city organization:

Homer Senior Citizens, Inc. Alzheimer’s Unit, brought by the Senior Center

By Motion: Council should move to include each proposed new project.

● One project is being recommended for removal from various department heads

Marine Ways Large Vessel Haul Out Facility

By Motion: Council should move to remove above mentioned project.

● One project is being recommended to move to a Long-Range Project from various department heads

Alaska Maritime Academy

By Motion: Council should move to relocate the above mentioned project to Long-Range Projects.

● Federal Priorities: In the past the Council has designated the large scale infrastructure projects; East Boat Harbor Expansion and Deep Water Dock Expansion as the top Federal priorities within the CIP Resolution. This designation directs City staff to advocate for those projects when meeting with representatives of the federal government and our congressional delegation (understanding the limitations on earmarks in the current fiscal climate).  

By Motion: Council should select 2 projects to include in the Federal Legislative Request.
