Strategic Capital Investment Reserve

The SCIR is a City programme that puts reserve funds behind public water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure needed for development, so that a project's off-site infrastructure cost does not stop it.

How it came about

The Commission took SCIR updates at the work sessions of WorkSession2026-01-20 and WorkSession2026-03-17, the latter framed as SCIR for public water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure. Resolution 10619, adopting the SCIR programme, was approved 5-0 at CityCommission2026-04-07 under Office File 1723.9.

How an award works

The Commission adopts a resolution of intention declaring its intention to consider an award and setting a public hearing, then holds the hearing and adopts the award resolution. Two awards ran through that sequence in 2026:

Discovery Meadows / Woith Engineering — public water system improvements for the Discovery Meadows 52nd Street water main extension. Resolution of Intention 10647 at CityCommission2026-08-04; Resolution 10651 adopted 4-0 at CityCommission2026-08-18
S&L Development LLC — stormwater system improvements associated with West Ridge Phase XI and the Vinyard Road regional detention pond. Resolution of Intention 10648 at CityCommission2026-08-04; Resolution 10652 adopted 4-0 at CityCommission2026-08-18

The programme policy was amended and restated by Resolution 10653, adopted September 1, 2026, superseding Resolution 10619.
