= 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.
