Council discussed the Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”) for 2022 – 2027 and bonding capacity. The current debt limit for the City is $11,824,216. The outstanding general obligations are $5,995,000. Council would like to leave some debt capacity to be used in case of emergency. All of the projects on the CIP are over $50,000, bonding will be used to fund some of the projects. Council would like to have the department heads review the equipment to see if any can be pushed back to later years. The donation projects will be listed separately to help with reviewing the CIP and will be completed when funds are received thru donations and grants.

Council will rank the projects and the annual update will be presented at a future council meeting.

Kriener moved to adjourn the worksession at 6:20 pm. Carman seconded and it passed all ayes. The next regular Cresco City Council meeting will be November 4, 2024, at 5:30 pm at Cresco City Hall.
