Meetings to be held for public input on projects

Staff report

Clovis residents will be able to provide input on major projects and purchases to be included in the city’s Infrastructure and Capital Improvement Plan during two upcoming public meetings.

According to a press release from the city of Clovis, the ICIP is a document that “is revised each year to show major projects the City hopes to accomplish within the next five years.”

The state’s municipalities and counties submit ICIPs to the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration each year. State legislators use ICIPs to decide which projects will receive state capital outlay funds.

The press release states that a major ICIP project is defined as one that exceeds $15,000 and is a one-time cost. Such projects must also be the responsibility of local government and not private businesses.
