Capital Improvement Projects

The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) outlines SMCMUD’s plan for project planning, including project goals and objectives desired by the Board of Directors. The CIP is an important management tool used in planning for improvements to infrastructure and in identifying funding for same. District staff reviews the CIP annually with the District Engineer and all participate in a workshop with the Board of Directors to prioritize projects and update the CIP accordingly. The CIP is a “living document” and is a planning tool that requires ongoing annual updates to address needs as they arise.
