Every year the City adopts a ten-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget. The CIP budget is separate from the City's operating budget and funds public infrastructure projects to enhance the quality of life for Hayward residents, businesses, and visitors. These projects include new, reconstructed, and rehabilitated streets and sidewalks; traffic improvements; City facility construction and repair; and improvements to water system, sewer system, technology, fleet, and the Hayward Executive Airport.

The CIP is reviewed by the Planning Commission and the Council Infrastructure & Airport Committee in April, during the City Council Work Session in May, and then for the final time at the City Council Public Hearing Adoption in June.
