Earlier this year, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06-23-10B establishing a 5-Year Capital Improvement Program for the City of Edgerton. The five year program calls for the investment of $33 million into the City's infrastructure through 2016. The total capital improvement outlay planned in the program is $60.9 million.

Most of these funds will be spent on public infrastructure that will be extended to serve the BNSF Intermodal Facility and Logistics Park-KC development. Although none of the infrastructure that will serve these developments will be paid for by Edgerton taxpayers. All of the funds for the projects will be paid for from project-related development revenues. Even basic municipal services, such as building inspections and plan review, will be paid from development revenues.

In an on-going effort to improve communications with the public, the City is unveiling a new Capital Improvement Program map. The map will provide information to the public concerning planned capital projects. Citizens will be able to look up such information as estimated commencement and completion, estimated cost, and funding sources by using the map. The map will be updated as new information on the projects becomes available or new projects are identified by the City.

Editors Note: There are several "markers" and "colored areas" on the map. Click on the markers and different colored areas for more details about each of the projects.

GardnerEDGE contacted Mr. Dillner regarding improvements to 191st Street and Homestead Road not showing on the capital improvements map. According to Mr. Dillner, "The improvements to both 191st Street and Homestead Road will be done by Johnson County. The City of Edgerton will be responsible for maintenance after the roadways are constructed."

Why didn't they use IRBs if residents aren't on the hook for repayment?

Every taxpayer will be paying for this project through property taxes except that the one entity that's getting the benefit will only by paying 25% of the time.

Good job David! Way to negotiate!
