paid for by the City including the conduit and wire costs. Property owners are responsible
for the costs from the right -of -way to their house.

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

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 appropriate committee

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.

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.
