1 2 3 He made reference to page 20, which is a document format for a Capital Investment 4 Plan. The numbers were not correct, but were there for just an example of the format. He 5 asked if the County Commissioners liked this format. 6 Commissioner Pelissier asked about enterprise funds and solid waste projects. She 7 asked if the solid waste appropriations and the solid waste fund balance would be equal 8 throughout the whole thing and Michael Talbert said that this is correct. Commissioner 9 Pelissier said that it would be good to add a footnote that this is the case. 10 Commissioner Jacobs suggested putting an asterisk next to the solid waste fund for 11 citizens and say that it is an enterprise fund that is considered separately. This is self-funded. 12 Commissioner Yuhasz suggested separating out the enterprise funds within the 13 document so that it will not be so confusing. 14 Commissioner Gordon asked if there were any other fund balances besides ones that 15 were listed and Michael Talbert said that when it is listed as a revenue source under fund 16 balance, that is fund balance appropriated. 17 Commissioner Gordon suggested adding a few words like, "appropriated fund balance," 18 so that it is clearer. 19 Commissioner Nelson arrived at 7:16 PM. 20 Commissioner Gordon said that the reason the County went to a ten-year plan is 21 because of the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance and the County is supposed to 22 plan how it is going to fund the County capital projects related to schools. If there is not a ten- 23 year plan, it is too difficult to plan for SAPFO. 24 Frank Clifton suggested creating another column for 6-10 years out for schools rather 25 than have everything go out ten years. 26 Commissioner Gordon said that part of negotiating SAPFO was that Orange County 27 would project the needs over ten years and the CIP addressed that. She hopes that one of 28 these summaries is committed to the SAPFO. 29 Commissioner Yuhasz said that it makes sense to put the 6-10 year SAPFO projections 30 as supplemental notes in the CIP but he does not think that it needs to be included as 31 indicated by Commissioner Gordon, because it may distort the CIP as a whole. 32 Frank Clifton said that a supplemental footnote could indicate the schedule for the 33 SAPFO for years 6-10. 34 Commissioner Gordon said that at some point, the various partners should be informed 35 about this process, especially the schools. 36 Michael Talbert continued with his presentation of the format (page 21). 37 Commissioner Jacobs pointed out that there is still not a strategic plan for Information 38 Technology and it has been requested for several years. The County Commissioners need a 39 more formal and transparent plan so they can make some decisions about their future needs 40 for Information Technology. 41 Commissioner Yuhasz agreed with Commissioner Jacobs about developing an 42 Information Technology Plan. 43 Presentation continued. 44 On page 23, Michael Talbert said that he would add "Enterprise Fund" to the top of this 45 page so that everyone knows that it is not part of the regular operating budget. 46 Frank Clifton said that there will probably be ongoing maintenance costs when the 47 landfill closes.
