Check with your district to see if they require a CIR as part of the project application. Our most recent information indicates CIRs are only required by Districts 12, 17 and 19*. [*D-19 does not require the Summary Form and only requires the CIR for those projects that seek outside funding or specifically named, e.g. Main & Maple Turn lanes, 1st St Storm Sewer, etc. Paving programs or other recurring annual projects are excluded.]
