Introduction The Capital Improvements Element(CIE)summarizes the needed capital facilities identified in the county's comprehensive plan and describes the financial means by which identified needed facilities are to be funded. The CIE also demonstrates the economic feasibility of the entire comprehensive plan and prioritizes the funding of all the public facilities identified in the county's comprehensive plan based on the level of need and the availability of funds. For purposes of this element,a capital improvement is a substantial facility(land,building,or major equipment)that costs at least$100,000 and which is required to maintain adopted level-of-service standards or to meet objectives identified in the county's comprehensive plan. Included in the CIE are an existing conditions section, an analysis section, a concurrency management section,a goals,objectives,and policies section,and an implementation section. While financial resources and existing local policies and practices are discussed in the existing conditions section,the fiscal condition of both the county and its comprehensive plan, as well as other issues concerning capital improvement projects,are assessed in the analysis section of this element. In the concurrency management section, the administrative framework for maintaining public facility service levels is addressed while the county's overall capital improvements strategy is discussed in the goals, objectives and policies section. Finally, a 5-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements, as well as monitoring and evaluation programs, can be found in the implementation section of this element.
