Ordinance 14 -1402 — Adoption of Capital Improvement Program as Part of the City Comprehensive Plan The City Clerk read Ordinance 14 -1402 by title as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, TO ADOPT THE FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SCHEDULE 2014 -2018 AS PART OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANDATES SET FORTH IN CHAPTER 163, FLORIDA STATUTES; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Community Development Director Sandra Smith gave a brief overview of the item, explaining that included in the City's budget which is adopted each September is a 5 -10 year Capital Improvement Plan which determines deficiencies there may be in public facilities and sets out a plan to spread the monies over those periods of time to correct those deficiencies. She added that it also provides for accommodation of desired future growth and replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities. Ms. Smith advised that the Florida State Department of Economic Opportunity has required that the City adopt by ordinance into the City's Comprehensive Plan the same the Capital Improvement Plan which was adopted as part of the budget, making this essentially a housekeeping issue for the Commission. She added that if approved on first reading, the ordinance would be advertised for a second reading and public hearing at the February 10, 2014 City Commission meeting. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City Budget.
