C. Capital Improvement Program (CIP)

To ensure that the city’s budget decisions are consistent with the Surprise General Plan 2030 and the community has the opportunity to review Surprise General Plan 2030 actions and programs prior to the City Council’s budget decisions, a process is established for making recommendations to the City Council on the status of the plan and proposed budget allocations. This approach to the Surprise General Plan 2030 implementation ensures that the plan remains a dynamic, responsive document and that the city’s budget decisions are consistent with the long-term goals of the city’s General Plan. Under Arizona Revised Statutes, the Planning Agency has responsibility to review the CIP to determine whether it conforms to the Surprise General Plan 2030.
