BACKGROUND: Each year, the County Commissioners consider and adopt a five year Capital Improvement Plan that is designed to plan, budget, and account for long -lived assets that involve large expenditures, often over multi -year periods. Items typically included in the CIP are building purchases, construction, and refurbishment, and land acquisition or improvement, among others. The CIP process offers the opportunity for review of long -term needs, and permits timely acquisition and phased financing of major assets. The County Manager and staff have developed a set of funding recommendations for County and school projects that make up this proposed CIP. The Manager will make a brief presentation to the Board of the Recommended CIP at this meeting. A public hearing should be conducted to obtain the views of citizens on the recommended funding priorities and levels in this Plan. There are two options for the public hearing date, February 19 or March 4th. The establishment of the public hearing date at this meeting will provide ample opportunity to notify the public of the proposed hearing date. The Board may then adopt the CIP after the Public Hearing. RECOMMENDATION(S): Receive the Manager's Recommended CIP and presentation and approve setting a public hearing date.
