MEMORANDUM
TO: Council on Aging
FROM: Kathy Romain, Senior Center Director
DATE: November 1, 2023
SUBJECT: Capital Project Review
Capital Projects typically entail expenses exceeding $35,000. The Public Works Department
formulates a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), encompassing a majority of these projects within a
5-year plan to distribute funding among various departments. This CIP remains a working
document, subject to adjustments on an annual basis.
In light of the Bluff Erosion Project, we opted to postpone the capital projects earmarked for the
Senior Center for a couple of years until the completion of said project, which is slated for 2024.
In response, I’ve included the two capital projects initially scheduled for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025
and FY 2026.
Senior Citizens Fund
Project Name FY2025 FY2026 FY2026 FY2028 FY2029 Total

Senior Citizen

Project Phase I
$35,000 $35,000
Total Senior

$75,000
The comprehensive CIP will be presented to the City Council for their approval. I kindly request
your endorsement of the aforementioned projects associated with the Senior Center.
Thank you.

SENIOR CITIZENS FUND PROJECTS
SENIOR CENTER LANDSCAPING - PHASE I
Department: Senior Center
Total Project Cost: $40,000
Project Phased: Yes
Project Type: Land Improvement
Funding Source(s): Grant/ Donation Dependent
Potential Grant Identified: State
Operating Budget Impact: Minimal or No Impact
YEAR: 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027
COST: $40,000 Details: This project would landscape the south lawn of the Senior Center to level the area,
which now contains sunken areas which prohibit safe access, and replant grass and trees as
well as construct walkways for easy and safe maneuvering. This would improve lost access to
the perimeter of the building, yard, and bluff areas for private rentals and the public, including
wheelchair access. The project would be contingent on the construction of the Bluff
Stabilization Project.
SENIOR CENTER LANDSCAPING - PHASE II
Department: Senior Center
Total Project Cost: $35,000
Project Phased: Yes
Project Type: Land Improvement
Funding Source(s): Grant/ Donation Dependent
Potential Grant Identified: State
Operating Budget Impact: Minimal or No Impact
YEAR: 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027
COST: $35,000 Details: This project would create a community fire pit area with wooden all-weather park
benches for easy access for seniors and private rentals. Memorial benches and greenery
provide an opportunity to generate revenue and celebrate individuals in the community. The
project would be contingent on the construction of the Bluff Stabilization Project.
