Long Term Financial Planning and Major Initiatives Chapter 163 Florida Statutes and Florida Administrative Code Rule 9J-5 requires each local government to have a Comprehensive Land Use Plan. An important part of this plan is the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) which evaluates the need for public facilities in support of the Future Land Use Element, to estimate the costs of improvements for which local government has fiscal responsibility, to analyze the fiscal capacity of the local government to finance and construct improvements, and to adopt financial policies to guide the funding and construction of the improvements. The CIP is updated annually and encompasses a period of five years. Listed below are some major projects included in the current CIP along with the source of funding and estimated costs: • Osprey Acres Floway and Nature Preserve - The 83.14 acres of undeveloped land purchased east of Osprey Marsh Treatment Facility will serve to create a pollutant removal system (stormwater park) that will remove nitrogen and phosphorus from Osprey Marsh's outflow water and increase the County's ability to meet proposed total maximum daily loads ("TMDL") for nutrients discharged into the Indian River Lagoon. The cost for construction is estimated at $7 5 million and will be funded with a Florida Department of Environmental Protection TMDL Grant, St. John's River Water Management District Cost -Share Grant, Florida House Appropriations Grant and optional one cent sales tax. • North County Commercial Septic to Sewer - The $3 million project will construct a gravity sewer system to service an area that has a land use designation of commercial properties on septic. The area currently has thirty eight (38) existing structures with a total of sixty one (61) parcels. Indian River County Department of Utility Services is constructing a new gravity sanitary sewer system and sections of water main to serve commercial areas along US Highway #1 and in the City of Sebastian. Customer assessments, optional one cent sales tax and a St. John's River Water Management District Cost -Share Grant will provide the funding. • South County Water Treatment Plant Well Construction and Rehabilitation - The Indian River County Department of Utility Services currently owns and operates six (#1-6) Floridan supply wells that are the source water for the South County Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Facility.

The $5.9 million phased upgrade of the system over a five year period will be funded from optional one cent sales tax. • 58th Avenue Resurfacing from 25th Street to 49th Street — The $2.8 million proposed improvements to 58th Avenue from north of 26th Street to south of 49th Street consist of reconstruction the roadway utilized full depth reclamation, milling and resurfacing, widening the existing shoulders to 5 -feet, structural asphalt, surface asphalt, minor drainage improvements, utility adjustments, signage, and pavement markings.
