A "capital improvement" is any constructed improvement with a cost of $25,000 or greater.
Each "even" numbered CIP year, the City provides information on proposed projects asks for public input on the five-year plan. To facilitate this process, a series of public comment meetings are held throughout the community. This year, the City will hold three (3) public meetings as follows:
1. Wednesday, December 3, 2008: Castle Rock Middle School Library, 1441 Governor's Blvd., 6:30 p.m.
2. Thursday, December 4, 2008: Will James Middle School Cafeteria, 1200 30th St. W. (use side parking lot and side door), 6:30 p.m.
3. Wednesday, December 10, 2008: Billings Community Center, 360 N. 23rd St., 6:30 p.m.
Plans for the City of Billings' Annexation Policy updates will also be presented at these meetings. The agenda for these meetings will be limited to the CIP and the Annexation Policy updates. Each session is focused on hearing from the public regarding proposed projects, as well as projects they would like to see completed and why.
