Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The proposed FY 15-16 through FY 19-20 CIP totals $93 million. The primary project categories include 1) Park Facilities
($15 million), 2) Public Facilities ($0.7 million), 3) Sanitary Sewer ($42 million), 4) Storm Drainage ($6 million), 5) Streets
& Roads ($18 million), and 6) Water ($12 million).
FY 15-16 CIP is appropriated as part of the FY 15-16 Budget approval and it totals $38 million. Some of the project high-
lights include the following:
1. Downtown Parks and Trails ($2.9 million) and Downtown Improvement Projects ($2 million): Create parks
and trails in the downtown that are integrated as part of downtown revitalization. The Downtown Im-
provement Project is a combined project to account for the downtown projects that are planned for com-
pletion by the end of 2015.
2. Library Expansion ($0.3 million): Design work for the expansion and improvement of the Morgan Hill Li-
brary that includes space modification and improvements.
3. Pavement Rehabilitation Program ($2.6 million): Ongoing program to address the City's pavement reha-
bilitation needs (see additional information in next section).
4. Sewer Plant Improvement ($8.5 million) and Sewer Plant Expansion Project ($1.3 million): These projects
are for the City's 41.9 percent share of the improvement and expansion costs at the South County Re-
gional Wastewater Authority (SCRWA) treatment plant which is co-owned with the City of Gilroy.
5. New Well Property/Construction ($2 million) and New Water Reservoirs ($2.3 million): New water wells
are required to meet the City's water supply needs as the Morgan Hill grows and to provide the necessary
reliability during drought conditions. New reservoirs are needed to increase storage capability and assist
meeting peak demand levels.
Public Infrastructure
In Morgan Hill, consistent with other California cities, there is a need for addi-
tional public investment in streets, parks and landscape, and public building
infrastructure. The City recognizes that ongoing revenue is insufficient to
fund these vital community assets at a sustainable level. The condition of the
publicly owned infrastructure (especially streets) is deteriorating and the de-
ferred maintenance backlog is increasing. Thus, the expense to repair these
assets grows as each year passes without a sustainable solution.
In support of the City Council’s Annual Priority of Advocating for Infrastruc-
ture Improvement Funding, the City Council accepted the
Infrastructure Fund-
ing Update Report
and began discussion on infrastructure funding gaps by
category and prioritization of needs at its November 5, 2014 meeting. At that
time, staff posed four recommended next steps for Council consideration and
direction. Those steps were:
Current Needs
$5.8 million annually
Street Maintenance
Park Maintenance
Landscape Assessment
