10-12 <br />Orange County Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br /> CHAPTER 10 - Goals, Objectives, and Recommendations 10 <br />6. The Vision – Review of Planned Financing and <br /> Capital Investments <br /> <br /> <br />In 2007, Orange County began including all planned <br />park projects in its Capital Investment Plan (CIP). A <br />CIP is a comprehensive schedule of projected capital <br />investments, typically including non-recurring capital <br />investments above a certain dollar threshold that <br />requires partfcular attentfon for planning of funding <br />and in some cases, debt issuance. It is important to <br />note that the CIP is working document and a blue- <br />print for the future. Actual funding appropriatfons <br />are made on an annual basis as part of the annual <br />County budget adoptfon. A CIP may most accurately <br />be viewed as a schedule of funding “intentfons,” one <br />that is reviewed and adjusted annually. <br /> <br />Orange County’s CIP is a five-year plan that also iden- <br />tffies expected projects for as second five-year peri- <br />od.

The projects have been scheduled based on a <br />combinatfon of the following factors: <br /> <br /> previously-identffied need, <br /> the existence of a master plan for the facility, <br /> possible funding partners, and <br /> potentfal availability of funds (as best can be deter- <br />mined one to five years in advance). <br /> <br />Table 10-1 lists the parks and public open space <br />projects that are part of the approved FY 2013-18 CIP <br />(listed in alphabetfcal order). Table 10-2, which <br />follows, outlines the operatfng and equipment costs <br />that are associated with the same projects. <br />120
