0 Capital Improvements Program Appendix A of the CIE (Attachment 4) is the County's proposed Capital Improvements Program (CIP). It lists all programmed capital improvements for fiscal years 2019/20 through 2023/24. 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 $390,169,564. That is $54,356,238 more than the $335,813,326 cost of the current (last) five year CIP and represents a 16.19% increase. Much of this increase reflects increases from existing county funding sources and from external sources due to increased development activity and continually improving market conditions. Those funding sources include assessments and user fees, gas taxes, impact fees, local option sales taxes, developer contributions, and the Florida Department of Transportation. As structured, the CIP consists of ten separate categories, with dedicated funding sources listed after each project. The ten separate categories are: Coastal Management, 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. A comparison of the existing (last) 5 year CIP expenses by category to the proposed 5 year CIP expenses by category appears on page 5 of this agenda item. Coastal Management Planned coastal management projects occurring within the next five years include beach nourishment in sector 3, sector 5, and sector 7 of the coastline. Those projects will be funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and the County's beach restoration fund. The total expenditure amount for the projects within this category for fiscal years 2019/20 through 2023/24 is $25,000,000, representing 6.41% of the overall CIP expenditure within the next 5 years. Conservation and Aquifer Recharge For conservation capital projects, the focus is on improvements to conservation lands. Those improvements include construction of passive recreational access facilities such as boardwalks, kayak launches, associated improvements such as parking and restroom facilities, and projects to stabilize/improve/preserve historic structures. These projects will be funded from numerous sources including: environmental land bonds, grants, optional sales tax, boating improvement funds, upland mitigation funds, Windsor property exchange donation, and park impact fees. The total expenditure amount for the projects within this category for fiscal years 2019/20 through 2023/24 is $11,239,398, representing 2.88% of the overall CIP. 143
