of funding capital projects and improvements in whole or in part.
3. Infrastructure improvements such as water reuse should consider conservation of
resources such as water and electricity.
4. Undergrounding utilities is a requirement of the City, and will be done based on the
availability of staff to work on the undergrounding and on adequate funding.
5. Franchise agreements for cable and electric services should be utilized to discourage
excessive wiring throughout the City.
6. Rights of way and easements needed for street projects should be donated by the
benefitting property owners.

access streets. Designs to accommodate individual properties shall be avoided.
8. The City strongly encourages design of connecting streets.
9. Residential streets with safety issues, high traffic volumes, high pedestrian activity and
poor roadway conditions will be considered the highest priority projects.
10. A majority of citizens on a street may petition the City to set up an LID to pay for
residential street improvement projects, sidewalks and undergrounding of utilities on
those streets where the City does not provide for them. The City will pay for the
design, preliminary engineering, construction engineering, and LID formulation. The
residents will pay for undergrounding utilities in the street, undergrounding from the
street to their house, for the actual construction costs, and for any improvements on
private property such as rockeries, paved driveways, or roadside plantings.
11. Capital improvements shall be coordinated, whenever feasible, with related
improvements of other jurisdictions.
12. Capital Improvement Plan projects shall, whenever possible, take advantage of grants,
loans or other financing external to the City. Staff shall get approval of the

proposed applications to the full Council. Staff shall also get approval from the full
Council before accepting grants. Grant applications shall be made only for projects
listed in the six year Financial Plan.
13. Current commercial street improvements as determined in the current version of the
six year CIP, may be funded through an LID or financing external to the City. The
City may elect to participate using operating revenues, grants or bonds based on
health and safety needs or public benefit. The City may aid in financing the
preliminary engineering design and professional service costs associated with planning
and creating the LID.
Commercial streets as determined in the current six year CIP shall be developed to
code and funded from grants, TBD's, developer fees, street LIDs, environmental
impact mitigation, or operating revenues.
14. Street and road improvement projects on slopes will include roadside plantings
wherever technically feasible to help mitigate the land used for roadway and sidewalk
improvements.

shall be funded by operating revenues, grants or bonds as determined in the the six

management policies to ensure continuity.
