<br />Improvements Element, but state growth management rules also
<br />,_.require that the CIE be amended to reflect changed circumstances.
<br />In revising the Capital Improvements Element, the staff used much
<br />;the same methodology as it employed in preparing the original
<br />element. This involved coordinating with the budget and finance

<br />each county department was contacted to determine the status of its
<br />5 year CIP. For each department, information on completed
<br />''projects, proposed projects, costs, revenues, prioritization, and
<br />other factors was collected. Based -upon these data, planning staff
<br />:...revised the various tables and the text of the CIE.. The result is
<br />an accurate and up-to-date CIP for the next 5 year period with
