Government City Services Forms Finance Procurement Education Community Development The Mayor and City Councilors discuss ICIP (Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan) projects on a continual basis at regularly scheduled City Council meetings with time allowed for public review and suggestions during Public Forum. At every City Council meeting, there is an agenda item entitled Public Forum at which time anyone from the public has the opportunity to present items to be considered for inclusion in the ICIP. At the August 5, 2019 and August 19, 2019 City Council meetings, an agenda item titled City of Socorro Infrastructure Capital Improvements Plan-Public Input appeared on the agenda. At these meetings the ICIP and the ICIP process were discussed at length. The projects have been prioritized by the Mayor and City Council for the purpose of preparing the ICIP and determining the overall priorities for the City. Projects have been broken down into five categories and have been prioritized by the Governing Body. The five categories in order of priority are as follows.
