The CIP <br />was originally prepared as a 5-year planning document that was re-evaluated annually to <br />include year-to-year changes in priorities, needs, -and available resources. Over the years, the <br />CIP evolved- into a 10 year plan and the name was changed to the Capital Investment Plan. <br />The CIP continued to evolve over the years to also include the Capital Funding Policy and Debt <br />Management Policy. The FY2008-18 Capital Investment Plan was the most recent 10-year CIP <br />approved by the Board. <br />The BOCC has approved format changes to the County's CIP that make the plan a <br />comprehensive County-wide plan. Outlined below are format changes approved -by the Board: <br />1. Migrating back to a 5-year plan from the existing 10-year CIP. <br />2. Changing the presentation date of the CIP to the $oard to March. <br />3. Combining County Capital, Proprietary Funds, and Schools Capital into one CIP. <br />4. Including a schedule of Active County Capital Projects. <br />5. Including Capital Reserve Balances. <br />6. Including a Debt Service and Debt Capacity Schedule. <br />
