The attached Funding Status of 1999-09 Approved Capital Projects spreadsheet (page 4 of this <br />abstract) provides a funding summary for all County projects included in the most recent ten <br />year capital plan (including projects funded prior to fiscal year 1999-00). On June 21, the Board <br />extended until June 30, 2000 the expiration date for those projects that existed prior to fiscal <br />year 1999-00 and were due to expire on June 30, 1999. In addition, the Commissioners have <br />approved two county project ordinances this fiscal year -Affordable Housing Capital Project <br />Ordinance and County Facilities Roofing Capital Project Ordinance. <br />Several County capital projects were included in the approved CIP. These projects have <br />relatively small scopes of work or involve equipment and machinery purchases. In-house Public <br />Works staff can do the majority of the projects related to replacing HVAC equipment and <br />improving building systems. Historically, the County orders vehicles and major equipment <br />during the spring to coincide with State contracts. Timing is such that staff is ready to begin <br />work on the projects and place orders for equipment and vehicles. The chart below briefly <br />describes each project while the attached capital project ordinances provide for the funding <br />outlined: <br />Capital Project 1999-00 CIP Funding Source <br /> Appropriation <br /> (as included in <br /> the approved <br /> 1999-09 CIP) <br />Animal Shelter -replacement of HVAC units $12,000 '/z cent sales tax <br />Court Street Annex -install new electrical panels and provide $115,000 %z cent sales tax <br />for additional service <br />EMS/911 Center -replace HVAC system $10,500 %z cent sales tax <br />Environmental Resources Conservation -purchase $150,000 %z cent sales tax and <br />environmentally sensitive lands or development rights in order to transfer from General <br />preserve open-space within the County Fund <br />Equipment and Records Storage -construction of an equipment $69,575 '/z cent sales tax <br />shelter for the Public Works Department <br />Equipment and Vehicles -provides funds to purchase vehicles $1,001,850 '/z cent sales tax and <br />and major equipment for several County departments including grants <br />Sheriff, EMS and Motor Pool jleet replacements <br />Government Services Annex -replace retaining walls located at $10,000 %z cent sales tax <br />the rear of the building <br />Information Technology -purchase equipment, GlSproducts, $970,000 '/z cent sales tax and <br />address citizen access, professional services intergovernmental <br /> revenues <br />Justice Facility Planning -professional services necessary to $100,000 '/z cent sales tax <br />finalize plans <br />New Courthouse -replace carpeting and install security $50,000 '/z cent sales tax <br />measures <br />
