DESCRIPTION: At its March 6, 2026 Strategic Planning Meeting, the City Council discussed the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and specific projects for the upcoming five -year period, which covers Fiscal Years 2026-27 through 2030-31. Before the City Council adopts the final CIP, specific City commissions review portions of the draft CIP relevant to their purview. For example, the Planning Commission reviews projects for conformance with the City’s General Plan, while the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission (HCAC) reviews Public Art and Heritage Park facility projects. The CIP classifies projects into four areas: General Improvements (GI), Public Art (PA), Parks (PK), and Streets (ST). The draft CIP does not include any new projects within the purview of the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission for review. However, it does include current projects, previously reviewed by the HCAC and approved by the City Council, which are in various stages of completion. These projects are outlined below:  PA0123 Downtown Dublin Public Art— This project is currently in the planning stage and includes developing a guiding document for art in the downtown area.
