6. WORK SESSIONS
6.A. PROPOSED FY2013-2017 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Mr. Carmody presented an overview of the proposed FY2013-2017
Capital Improvement Program. He began by reviewing the
process for prioritizing CIP projects. He provided a summary
of the key guiding principles, which included citizen
input/referenda; Board of Supervisors' direction; Board
adopted financial policies; planning models; and internal and
external reviews. He then provided trend data on revenues
available to accomplish the most critical county projects,
noting that the debt service is well within policy limit and
capital reserve funding inches back to policy level. He
provided details of innovative strategies for success, which
includes advance projects in a favorable construction market;
building acquisitions to reduce costs; maximizing use of
existing county facilities; electronic document
imaging/offsite storage; and partnerships utilized. He
emphasized that some previously funded and designed projects
are on hold and project requests currently exceed available
funding. He reviewed the focus in the near term, which
includes improving roads via maximum match funding: $10
million state/$10 million local, and continued emphasis on
maintaining and refreshing existing assets. He then provided
details on a plan for the future, which includes continuing
2004 bond projects; replacing public safety radio system;
park land acquisitions; technology investments; and future
referendum. He provided a summary of overall funding of the
proposed FY2013-2017 CIP, including $165.6 million for
general county projects, with emphasis on renovation and
major maintenance; $154.6 million for School Board projects,
with emphasis on existing facilities; and $212.5 million for
utilities. In closing, he offered the Board the option to
hold community meetings in March on the proposed CIP and
budget, noting the public hearing is planned for Match 14th,
with adoption of the budget planned on March 28th
In response to Mr. Warren's question regarding bond
referendum projects, Mr. Carmody stated the remaining bond
referendum projects in the current plan primarily consist of
the Robious Road Library, the Chester Arts Center and some
library technology improvements. He further stated the $341
million in bond projects have been previously appropriated to
the school division or other areas of county projects. He
stated the Harrowgate Fire Station and the Reams-Gordon
Library were bond projects that are not in the current plan,
but funding has been previously approved for construction.
Mr. Warren requested further information on the status of
projects that were supported by the citizens.
In response to Mr. Warren's question regarding operational
costs relative to the FY13 list, Mr. Carmody stated each of
the individual project narratives include this information
11-48
and one published in the proposal CIP document. The operating
costs associated with capital projects will also be included
in the proposed budget document; along with the year those
impacts would materialize.
Mr. Gecker expressed his appreciation to Mr. Carmody and
Budget staff for the presentation. He stated as time
progresses, he hopes operational costs will not be loaded
onto the budget until a revenue stream is created to support
the operational costs. He further stated the county should
begin to consider the end of the recession, where the real
estate base is no longer declining. He stated, from the
Budget and Audit Committee perspective, the Board should
avoid loading operational costs prematurely. In regards to
the School Board CIP, he stated there is a significant
educational- policy choice embedded in the proposal that
should not go unnoticed. He further stated the quality of
each county school should be equalized.
Mr. Carmody stated this proposal process is the beginning of
finalizing a plan.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Carmody stated the
operational costs that are associated with projects in
FY2013, given the time to implement them, will most likely
have an impact in FY2014. He further stated given the length,
design and construction period of the Reams-Gordon Library,
operation costs will probably have an impact in FY2014.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question regarding costs to
restore library hours, Mr. Carmody stated there are several
options to present, including a peak-demand scenario.
