Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On March 5, 2024, the Board authorized additions and changes to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Legistar 24-0239, Item 18, for 2024. The Board has chosen to approve the final 2024 CIP in June 2024.
A CIP is a planning document that identifies capital improvement projects (e.g., roads, bridges, etc.) a local government or public agency intends to build over a certain time horizon (usually between 5 and 20 years). CIPs typically provide key information for each project, including a general scope, schedule (includes planning, design, and construction), cost and revenue sources. The County’s CIP provides a means for the Board to define capital improvement project and funding priorities over a 20-Year horizon.
In order to maintain the integrity of its roadway network, the County is required to develop and maintain a 10- and 20-Year CIP pursuant to General Plan Policy TC-Xb and Implementation Measure TC-A.
Attachment A provides a detailed discussion on the Findings of Consistency of the 2024 Annual CIP Update with the General Plan. Staff is requesting the Planning Commission approve Findings of Consistency of the 2024 Annual CIP with the General Plan, including the new projects, and changes to the projects as noted in Attachment C.
