"I have always believed that the annual five year Capital Improvement Program is one of the more important documents consider, by the City Council. While the annual operating budget makes poss- ible the delivery of vital day to day government services, the CIP gives you an opportunity to shape the physical environment, thereby creating a social environment which will be enjoyed and used by our citizens over the next several decades and beyond. Therefore, it i important to remember that your actions in approving the CIP will have both immediate and long term importance. Please note as you examine the proposed CIP a change in format from previous years, a change which will give you more information in a clearer fashion. On the project summary pages which precede each category:an~don the 1986-91 project summary page near the end of the document there is a new column. In the pasT, the summaries showed a five year total, but any prior and future authorization could be determined only by turning to each individual project page The new format shows both the five year total and the project total including any of the prior or future year amount. I think you will find that this refinement will make it possible for you to more easily grasp the total financial impact of each project. In recent years you have instructed me to emphasize economic development activities, and I have done so. Your commitment to responsible economic development has helped the private sector create new jobs, new homes, and an expanded tax, base all to the benefit of our City and its citizens. Thesesa~cesses are documente, elsewhere, so I will not discuss them in detail here. I mention them only to point oun that because of your ambitious and demonstra commitment to economic development it is not possible to shift our attention and itensify our efforts in providing improved services to Portsmouth's neighborhoods.
