The County Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is updated yearly as projects and funding necessitate. The County utilizes a rolling five-year CIP, which includes active capital projects and potential capital projects that could be recommended for future implementation. Any new projects greater than $200,000 are contained in the CIP budget. Projects under $200,000 are included in the General Services Department's annual budget. The CIP includes facility modifications, infrastructure projects, maintenance, and information systems. In addition, construction projects are tracked using e-Builder, and infrastructure projects are tracked using WinCAMS. These software solutions are designed to provide project management and cost tracking.
The CIP Finance Plan is created for a three-year fixed period called the CIP Financing Period. This facilitates maintaining each block of financing as separate and distinct, in addition to following the time constraints or requirements associated with certain types of financing, such as bonds. At the end of the three-year financing period, a new CIP Finance Plan will be developed in coordination with Board approval.
Approval of this plan does not constitute approval of specific projects within the plan; individual projects still require project approval from the Board. The 2024-2028 CIP is included as Attachment A.
