Title
Transportation Department recommending the Board adopt said Department’s proposed 2009 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) including the West Slope 10 Year Road/Bridge CIP, Trail CIP, 5 Year Capital Overlay and Rehabilitation Program (CORP), 5 Year Tahoe Environmental Improvement Program (EIP) and 5-7 Year Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP).
Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: The CIP is a programming document, not a budgeting document. As such it has no fiscal impacts until the projects are actually included in the Department's annual budget. There is no change to the Net County Cost.

· Address ongoing maintenance costs for projects in the Tahoe EIP.
Since the workshop, DOT has completed the project details associated with all the proposed projects in the West Slope Road/Bridge CIP, Trail CIP, CORP, EIP, and ACIP. These are in the attached DOT CIP.
Note: Some of the information presented at the workshop has been updated because these programs directly feed DOT’s fiscal year 2009/10 budget; (for example, in the 10 year West Slope Road/Bridge CIP, the cost estimate for project #71336, the U.S.50 Missouri Flat 1B Interchange improvement, has been updated to reflect the engineer’s most current cost estimate because this project is scheduled to start construction in FY 09/10.) Therefore, the Department has updated the project revenues/costs accordingly which are reflected in the following pages.
The overall conclusions presented at the workshop remain the same.
