| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Since 2015, the County has utilized a rolling three-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) which is updated each year as projects and funding necessitate. The County’s CIP includes any potential capital project that could be recommended for implementation during the CIP time horizon. Included in Attachment A is the third Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal years ending 2018-2022. One of the significant changes with this plan is that it covers a five-year period, rather than three. The longer time period provides for greater long term planning and better aligns with financial plan best practices. Each year this plan will be updated to incorporate the capital needs over the next five years. Thus, next year’s CIP will cover fiscal years ending 2019-2023. Approval of the 2018-2022 CIP does not constitute approval of specific projects within the plan. Individual projects still require project approval from the Board.
The CIP includes modifications to facilities, infrastructure projects, maintenance, and information systems. In addition, the projects included in the plan are now being tracked through e-Builder, the construction management software program acquired by the County last year. E-Builder also includes a planning function which provides a standard process to quantify and prioritize projects. Future versions of the CIP, will be developed with the assistance of the e-Builder planning function. Once projects become viable in that there is identified funding and Board approval, these projects will move forward to development, project schedules and budgets are added and the project development is managed through the e-Builder system, providing better transparency, efficiency, and tracking.
Included with the CIP is a Finance Plan summary. Whereas the CIP is prepared on a rolling five year bases, where each year the plan will be updated to incorporate the capital needs over the next five-year period, the Finance Plan is developed in distinct blocks of three fiscal years. The 2017-2019 CIP approved last year, included the first CIP Finance Plan. A new plan will be developed as financing needs are identified in coordination with Board approval. Included in the attached CIP is a Finance Plan summary which provides background on the lease revenue bond financing conducted last fiscal year. It also includes a list of projects to be explored for the next capital improvement project financing. |
