Regular Agenda 19 20 b. Approval of the Five-Year Capital Investment Plan and Adoption of the Orange 21 County CIP Projects of$22,793,345 for FY2015-16 22 The Board considered accepting and approving the FY2015-20 Orange County Five- 23 Year Capital Investment Plan, and adopting the Orange County CIP Projects of$22,793,345 for 24 FY 2015-16. 25 Paul Laughton, Orange County Finance Administrative Services, said Attachment 1 26 showed revisions from the June 11, 2015 meeting, with changes highlighted in yellow. He said 27 there is also included a new project for 2015-16 in the amount of$100,000 for Fairview Park for 28 access and parking improvements. 29 Bonnie Hammersley said the Board brought up Fairview Park for discussion at the June 30 11 meeting. She said the Master Plan was approved by the Board of County Commissioners 31 (BOCC) in 2006 and a revised plan was approved in 2010. She said Phase one of the plan was 32 completed in 2011 and Phase two of the master plan was not included in the CIP. She said 33 Commissioner Price brought up the issue of insufficient parking earlier this year and she, staff 34 and the Town of Hillsborough have been meeting since that time regarding the issue. 35 Bonnie Hammersley said Commissioner Jacobs asked for Fairview Park to be included 36 in the 2015-16 CIP in the amount of$100,000. 37 Bonnie Hammersley said staff met about this issue and determined that over the 38 summer staff would begin the schematic design phase of the project. She said a schematic 39 design is a requirement whenever substantial paving or construction is planned. She said it is 40 hoped that by early fall staff can present options to the Board of County Commissioners about 41 parking improvements and also request more funding to complete the park project. She said 42 staff would work with the community this summer to find some temporary parking for the park. 43 She said it is her recommendation to have the $100,000 stay in the CIP as a placeholder for the 44 project, and to come back in the fall to ask for a more definite amount. 45 Commissioner Jacobs asked if the project will be held to no more than $100,000. 46 Bonnie Hammersley said no, rather there is $100,000 set aside for the project currently 47 with the expectation of more money being requested in the fall. 48 Commissioner Rich asked if these conversations will include the Town of Hillsborough. 49 Bonnie Hammersley said yes. 50 Commissioner Price asked if the final costs are known.
