higher than other years due to the City Hall renovation project. The
CIP correlates to the Governing Body Strategic Framework that was
approved in 2015. Five new projects have been added to the five-
year plan, three of which are funded. Mr. Norris reviewed the five-
year budget changes. A copy of the PowerPoint presentation is
