The City of South Padre Island’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for fiscal years 2025‑2029 is a five‑year public‑works roadmap that lists, prioritizes, and finances projects costing $50,000 or more, such as streets, parks, beach renourishment, and facility upgrades. It explains the legal requirements, the goals (health and safety, growth, economic development, fair cost distribution, and limiting tax hikes), the process for city staff and the public to propose projects, the scoring system (up to 100 points across seven criteria), and the calendar of key dates – from posting project request forms on 4/11/2025 to the public hearing on 8/6/2025 and final council adoption on 8/20/2025.
