To receive Council input and direction prior to the development of the 2027-2032 Capital Investment Program and to move forward with bond repayment expediently if supported by Council.

 

 

OUTCOMES:

Staff will review the City’s existing debt portfolio, including repayment opportunities and capacity for future bond issuances. The presentation will outline strategic capital investment projects and the recommended funding approach, as well as the development of the 2027-2032 Capital Investment Program and alignment with functional and capital facilities plans. The recommended strategy is intended to fund priority capital investments while minimizing impacts to the remaining capital program and ensuring continued investment in core infrastructure.

 

In addition, staff will present a proposed funding strategy to incorporate public art investments into the Capital Investment Program. The approach integrates public art into broader capital planning efforts and improves long-term funding predictability.

 

Council direction will inform debt repayment decisions and actions, development of the 2027-2032 Capital Investment Program, and funding for public art.
