<br />As shown in table 6.9, the county has a Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) and an emergency
<br />services district, each with a separate millage.
<br />Changes to the Capital Improvements Program
<br />County revenue for "Permits, Fees & Special Assessments", "Judgements, Fines & Forfeitures", and
<br />"Interest & Misc." are expected to increase through Fiscal Year 2021/22 above what was previously
<br />forecasted in the prior year's Capital Improvements Program. County revenue for
<br />"Intergovernmental", "Charges for Services", and "Other Sources" are expected to increase through
<br />Fiscal Year 2021/22, at the same rate as previously forecasted in the prior year's Capital
<br />Improvements Program, however, the starting FY 2017/18 amount for each of these three categories
<br />is less than previously forecasted. With respect to the "Intergovernmental" funds, the lower amount
<br />for FY 2017/18 is due to a reduction in grant funds.
<br />With this year's update, some projects have had their timeframes extended and some have had their
<br />funding sources changed as priorities have shifted, and projects previously underfunded have been
<br />designated to receive additional projected funding from sources that have become available. This
<br />includes projected increased revenue from assessments and user fees, gas taxes, various impact fees,
<br />and developer funded construction projects due to projected increased development activity and
<br />continually improving market conditions. While some project time frames have been extended, none
<br />of the extensions will impact development project concurrency reservations.
<br />With respect to transportation projects, available roadway capacity has recently increased because
<br />concurrency certificates for some development projects with vested trips have expired. These trips are
<br />now reflected as available in the County's concurrency management system.
<br />By extending the timeframe of transportation projects, the County can utilize its limited resources to
<br />complete priority concurrency related projects within the overall capital improvements program. In
<br />effect, the County needs to delay some projects so that other projects will remain fundable and so that
<br />additional priority projects maybe funded. By funding necessary projects and other priority projects,
