DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Community Development Services (CDS), Long Range Planning and Department of Transportation (Transportation) recommending the Board:
1) Adopt the 2018 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Book as presented in Attachment B.
2) Authorize the addition of five new projects to the 2018 CIP:
• Bass Lake Road Widening - US 50 to Serrano Parkway (CIP #72BASS);
• Latrobe Road Widening - Investment Boulevard to Golden Foothill Parkway (South)/Clubview Drive (CIP #72LATROBE);
• US 50 Westbound Auxiliary Lane - Cameron Park Drive to Cambridge Road (CIP #53US50);

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The CIP is the long-range plan for all individual capital improvement projects, including cost estimates, schedules, and funding sources. It provides strategic direction for capital projects over a current year, 5-, 10-, and 20-year horizon. The CIP is used as a planning tool and is updated annually as new information becomes available regarding Board priorities, funding sources, project cost estimates, and timing.
In order to ensure that growth consistent with the General Plan does not exceed available roadway capacity, the County is required to implement General Plan Policy TC-Xb and Implementation Measures TC-A and TC-B. General Plan Policy TC-Xb and Implementation Measure TC-A require the County to prepare an annual CIP for the West Slope Road/Bridge Program specifying expenditures for roadway improvements within the next 10 years.
General Plan Policy TC-Xb and Implementation Measure TC-A also require a Major CIP and Traffic Impact Mitigation (TIM) Fee Program update every five years, in line with the major review of the General Plan, specifying expenditures for roadway improvements within the next 20 years.
On May 10, 2018, the Planning Commission approved the Finding of Consistency of the 2018 Annual CIP with the General Plan (Attachment C).
The proposed 2018 CIP Book includes the following five programs:
• West Slope Road/Bridge CIP
• Tahoe Environmental Improvement Program (EIP)
• Airport CIP
• Transportation Facilities Improvement Program (TFIP)
• Capital Overlay and Rehabilitation Program (CORP)
Attachment A describes each Program proposed for inclusion in the 2018 CIP Book. A list of projects completed between 2001 and 2018 is included in Attachment E.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose to not adopt the 2018 CIP, which would result in Transportation not having a 2018 work plan. The Board could choose to make changes in the 2018 CIP, which would result in a delay for the adoption and implementation of the Transportation 2018 work plan

STRATEGIC PLAN COMPONENT
The CIP is a vital part of the Infrastructure component of the County Strategic Plan.
