Consider a Resolution of the Village of Villa Park, DuPage County, Illinois, Approving the Capital Improvement Plan for the Fiscal Years The FY five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a multi-year planning instrument used by the Village to identify needed capital projects and to coordinate the financing and timing of these capital improvements in such a way that maximizes the return to the public. The proposed CIP encompasses all single and multi-year capital projects with costs of $25,000 or more and with a life expectancy of at least twenty years, and includes all projects in this year s budget and planned projects for the next five years. Revenues to fund this program will come from referendum-approved bond proceeds, a dedicated half-cent nonhome-rule sales tax, water supply and wastewater funds, grants, loans, drainage fees, TIF revenues and corporate fund transfers. A copy of the draft CIP was provided to members of the Board in March of 2017, and may also be found on the Village s website in the Document Center. 11.
