The details <br /> are included the County FY2012-2017 CIP. <br /> • Recently, the interim Emergency Medical Services and 911 Communications Operations Study <br /> made several operational and capital investment recommendations that were not included in the <br /> County's FY2012-13 Annual Operating Budget or included in the FY2012-2017 CIP. These <br /> recommended operational expenditures and capital investments in emergency medical services <br /> and 911 communications total $7.5 million over the next five fiscal years, and $15.6 million over <br /> the next ten fiscal years (See Attachment 2). Over the next five fiscal years, the recommended <br /> additional emergency medical services and 911 communications capital projects, if approved <br /> and implemented, would total $4.2 million and would increase the County's total capital <br /> investment to $197.5 million over the next five fiscal years. The recommended operational <br /> expenditures of the study total $3.3 million over the next five fiscal years (Attachment 2). <br />
