Oklahoma Water Team Leader Mary Elizabeth Mach, PE | You Can’t Plan for the Long-Term If You Only Plan Year-to-Year | 1:30 p.m., March 10
A capital improvement plan (CIP) is an essential part of almost any utility, serving as a list of necessary improvements to infrastructure throughout a community. However, a formal CIP management program is a critical element of a CIP to make sure that taxpayer dollars are being spent appropriately and timely. For the City of Lawton, this was a missing element to their infrastructure improvement plan. With City Manager Michael Cleghorn, Mach will discuss the need for a formal CIP management plan, how the City of Lawton fully realized the need to put one in place, and how working with Garver to develop and implement a CIP management plan will deliver sustainable infrastructure to the community.
