Attached is a copy of our draft Five -Year CIP for Fiscal Years 2007/08 through 2011/12
for your review. This plan is prepared in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan,
adopted by the City Commission via ordinance number 20 -97 -1641. The ordinance was
adopted on August 19, 1997 requiring the City to develop a five -year capital improvement
program "to undertake capital improvement necessary to keep its present public facilities
in good condition and to accommodate new development within sound fiscal practices."
The CIP is an official statement of public policy regarding long range physical
development in the City. CIP is a multi -year scheduling of major purchases, infrastructure
improvements or construction of public facilities. The most common definition includes
new or expanded physical facilities that are relatively large in size and cost and
permanent in nature. The CIP is updated annually to add new projects, reevaluate

programmed and projected priorities and to incorporate recommendations taking into
account new requirements and available sources of funding. The annual capital
programming process provides the following benefits:
❑ The CIP serve as a source of information about the city's physical development and
capital expenditures. It also allows management to plan for future operating
requirements to coincide with completed capital projects.
❑ The CIP provides mechanism for coordinating among projects with respect to
funding location and timing, and ensures that the most crucial projects are
developed first.
❑ The CIP is a tool for implementing the City's Comprehensive Plan and to preserve
the investment of the City's infrastructure system.
During the preparation of the draft plan, numerous consultations, reviews of studies and
field evaluations were conducted, with special attention and consideration given to the
input of the citizens of South Miami and the City Commission, in order to prioritize the
needs.
We ask for your review comments on the plan and we are available to discuss each
project at your earliest convenience. We plan to present the final draft of the plan for
adoption during the next.City Commission meeting.
