The Public Works Department follows the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which incorporates plans for capital expenditures for the City's streets, storm sewer system, sanitary sewer system, park system, waste water treatment and all public buildings. The CIP is generated through the efforts of the Finance and Public Works Departments. Although the CIP outlines projects, equipment purchases and replacements - each project needs specific review and approval from the Delano City Council, Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Committee. The Delano City Council along with City Staff review and update the CIP on an annual basis.
