Um CIP is a multi-year capital expenditure plan for a city's infrastructure. Um our streets, our parks, utility systems, as well as our vehicles and equipment and our public buildings.

Um the public hearing tonight is required by the Minnesota Planning uh, Land Planning Act. Um, and the idea is to just kind of compare it to the comprehensive plan um, and make sure that the major infrastructure needs um, are uh, appropriate for a 5-year period.

So, the CIP is developed. I'm really just essentially the data person um and trying to figure out how we fund all of the projects.

So, if the community or the citizens um objected to something in here and they weren't here tonight, they'd have another [clears throat] opportunity to hear about it at some point in the future in front of the city council.

I think the comments about uh concerns about the public awareness of the spend are important and how that's communicated.

So, what we're talking about tonight is just an update on the old village work plan. It's uh to review the old village area zoning and future land use maps in response to the old village study conducted in 2024.

Our ultimate recommendation is to not do anything between that time because we're going to spend considerable money and time with you know going through this process and community engagement involved.

I just I just like my my only comments were you know post 2030 2035 whenever somebody says this is what the plan is please don't change it like they have done before you know whenever people come in and buy a place and they expect it surroundings to be a certain way that should be it
