MISSION STATEMENT

  1. have useful life of at least five years;
  2. cost over $20,000 and/or

The Committee considers the relative need, impact, timing and cost of these expenditures and the effect each will have on the financial position of the town. Pursuant to the Capital Improvements Committee Bylaw, no appropriation shall be voted for a capital improvement requested by a department, board or commission unless the proposed capital improvement is considered in the Committee's report. The Committee shall not fail to report on any proposal that has been properly submitted. 

The CIC shall prepare an annual report recommending a Capital Improvement Budget for the next fiscal year, including any items to be funded in the current fiscal year, and a Capital Improvement Program including recommended capital improvements for the following five fiscal years. The report shall be submitted to the Board of Selectmen not later than six weeks prior to the Annual Town Meeting for its consideration and recommendations. The Board shall submit the Capital Budget together with its recommendations to the Annual Town Meeting.

The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is the Town of West Newbury’s blueprint for planning the community’s capital projects and expenditures. Preparing and updating the CIP is a collaborative effort involving several town departments, Boards, Commissions and Committees. This is an important function of local government, and ensures coordination of community planning, financial capacity and physical development.
