Carlsbad
This memorandum provides an update on AO 50, Capital Improvement Program (CIP)-Project
Initiation, Prioritization, Budgeting and Adoption Procedure (see Attachment).
Background
The previous AO 50 was dated July 5, 1990. Consistent with the City Manager's authority under
Carlsbad Municipal Code section 2.12.035, and to ensure continuous improvement of processes
and procedures through which capital projects are initiated, prioritized, budgeted and adopted,
AO 50 was revised with an effective date of March 1, 2019.
Next Steps
Staff will present an update to City Council in May, prior to presentation of the Fiscal Year 2019-
20 CIP budget, so as to solicit Council policy direction on the current list of 270 outstanding CIP
projects. Specifically, we will be asking Council to prioritize this list to ensure we are meeting
Council expectations.

E. PROJECT FUNDING
1. After project prioritization, timing of projects will be compared to the projected cash flow and
forecast of funds available. Where there is insufficient available funding (regardless of funding
source), lower priority projects will be deferred to later years. High-priority projects will be
funded as soon as possible based on funding availability.

2. When possible, design, environmental review and land acquisition should be scheduled and
funded in advance of the construction need date to ensure the project will be ready for
construction when needed, thereby avoiding project delays, and to use funds more efficiently by
not encumbering funds for construction while waiting on the design and environmental review
process.
