5 <br /> stakeholders. The Workgroup will review existing facility needs and analyze options that include <br /> a more comprehensive view of system and how it interacts with facilities. <br /> Since this Workgroup may recommend a different set of projects or different sequence of <br /> improvements, the Recommended Capital Improvement Plan combines the projects related to <br /> the criminal justice system that were included in the Plan such as the Link Building renovation, <br /> the District Attorney's Office relocation, and improvements to the Courthouse into a single new <br /> project,Justice System Space Needs.This aggregation of project costs totals approximately$15.5 <br /> million. <br /> The cost of the Emergency Services Headquarters was also increased by $1.7 million to integrate <br /> and Emergency Medical Services Substation to serve Northern Orange County. Integrating a <br /> substation into this facility eliminates the need to construct a stand alone facility in the northern <br /> corridor that was estimated to cost $5 million. As a result, that project was removed from the <br /> CIP. <br /> The cost of the County facility projects enumerated in the table also represents the County cost <br /> of the projects after applying outside revenue. The total cost of the Southern Human Services <br /> Project, for example, is $19,628,672. However, the Health Department has over $10 million <br /> available in Medicaid Maximization funds that have been reserved to apply to this project. <br /> Medicaid Maximization funds are one-time funds that must be used to improve the programs in <br /> which the funds were earned. The Southern Human Services project will make significant <br /> improvements to the Health Department's medical and dental clinics which would be an eligible, <br /> one-time use of Medicaid Maximization funds. <br /> Climate Action Plan <br /> The Board of Commissioners approved the Climate Action Plan in November of 2023. The Plan <br /> calls for both operating and capital improvements in County operations and in the community to <br /> reduce the greenhouse gas emissions.
