It lists all programmed capital improvements for fiscal years 2013/14 through 2017/18. Within the CIP,each project was selected based upon need and the County's financial ability to fund it. As shown within the CIP, the total cost for all of the projects for the next five fiscal years is $209,483,169. That is $6,634,188 less than the $216,682,357 cost of the previous year's five year CII'. As structured, the CIP consists of nine separate categories, with dedicated funding sources listed after each project. The nine separate categories are: conservation and aquifer recharge, emergency services, facilities management, law enforcement and corrections, parks and recreation, sanitary sewer and potable water, solid waste, stormwater management, and transportation. For conservation capital projects, the focus is on improvements to conservation lands. Those improvements include construction of passive recreational access facilities, and stabilization/preservation of historic structures. The projects will be funded from environmental land bonds, grants, and park impact fees. The total expenditure amount for the projects within this category for fiscal years 2013/14 through 2017/18 is $802,000, representing 0.38% of the overall CIP. For the next five fiscal years, emergency services capital projects total $10,096,934 and represent 4.82% of the overall CIP. Proposed projects within this category include acquisition of five Med Units and five fire engines, renovation of two emergency services stations, and construction of two new emergency services stations. Funding for those improvements comes from impact fees,one-cent local optional sales tax, and emergency services district millage. Capital improvements projects related to recreation and open space include improvements to existing recreation areas and the construction of a new recreation area in the west county. All of the recreation and open space projects identified in Appendix A will be paid for with one-cent local option sales tax revenue, grant funds, and impact fees. The expenditures within this category for fiscal years 2013/14 through 2017/18 total $10,379,255, representing 4.95% of the overall CIP. As listed within Appendix A, facilities management capital improvements projects represent 1.74% of the overall CIP for fiscal years 2013/14 through 2017/18 and total $3,646,062. Those projects include improvements such as the expansion of the County's fiber optic network and the construction of new courtroom facilities. The projects will be funded through various sources, including: one cent local option sales tax revenue, impact fees, and court facility surcharges.
