The CPPC (1) reviews all proposed capital projects and reports to the Council at every stage in each project, from the assessment and prioritization of space needs through schematic design, financial plan, and environmental impact assessment to the detailed project planning guide; (2) it monitors the implementation of the Long Range Development Plan, reviews the development and implementation of master plans, and reports to the Council on all capital planning and policy issues that may arise; and (3) it monitors the review process itself.

The CPPC prepares an annual report to the Council which summarizes the year's work and includes evaluations and recommendations on the issues mentioned under (2) and (3) above. The CPPC chair or a designated deputy serves ex officio on the Service Advisory Board for Capital Programs.
