SUMMARY
The CIP is a planning document intended to guide the City’s capital project expenditures for the upcoming ten-year period. The proposed CIP budget includes approximately $158 million in FY25 and an estimated $1 billion in the next ten years. Given that Hayward is a full-service city, the CIP covers a wide range of projects, which may include street construction and improvements; bike and pedestrian improvements; traffic calming; wastewater, recycled water, storm water, and water system upgrades; groundwater projects; construction of public buildings; airport projects; replacement of major equipment; clean and renewable energy generation; and other miscellaneous projects. As in past years, the document also includes Identified and Unfunded Capital Needs, which currently total $690 million.
The Recommended FY25 - FY34 CIP can be found here on the City’s website and features a new online format. More information about navigating the new format can be found at the provided link.
Planning Commission Review
State law requires that the Planning Commission review the Recommended CIP to ensure consistency with the City’s adopted General Plan. The Recommended FY25 - FY34 CIP was presented to the Planning Commission at their April 11, 2024, meeting , and the Commission unanimously found that the Recommended FY25 - FY34 CIP is consistent with the City’s 2040 General Plan.
Council Infrastructure & Airport Committee Review
On April 24, 2024 , the Council Infrastructure & Airport Committee (CIAC) discussed the proposed CIP budget, and the Committee directed Staff to look into continued maintenance and propose a plan to renovate the Skywest golf course as a public green space, if funding is available. The Committee also asked Staff to research if it’s feasible to combine the City corporation yard with the Hayward Unified School District yard and what that project proposal could be if there was joint funding. The Committee unanimously approved and recommended the CIP’s adoption to the Council scheduled to take place on June 4.
