2023/24 include construction of several water mains (new and replacement), North County
<br />(Sebastian) septic to centralized sewer conversions, meter conversions to an Advanced Metering
<br />Infrastructure (AMI) system, and south waste water treatment facility improvements. The potable
<br />water and wastewater projects will be funded through one cent local option sales tax, user fees,
<br />grants, assessments, and capacity charges. The sanitary sewer and potable water category accounts
<br />for 20.92% of the overall CIP, or $81,630,549, during the five year CIP time period.
<br />Solid Waste
<br />In the next five years, solid waste capital improvements will involve expansion of Cell III of
<br />Segment 3 of the landfill, a new single stream recycling building, new automated scale system,
<br />emergency access roadways, and site drainage improvements at the landfill. These improvements
<br />total $14,300,000 during the five year CIP time period, account for 3.67% of the overall CIP, and
<br />representing an 44.44% increase in cost over last year's solid waste 5 year CIP. Projects in the
<br />proposed 5 year CIP will be funded by assessments and user fees.
<br />Stormwater Management
<br />For stormwater management, capital improvements include construction of a canal treatment system
<br />in the North Relief Canal, Osprey Acres Floway and Nature Preserve, and East Gifford Stormwater
<br />Improvements. The stormwater management projects identified in Appendix A will be paid for with
<br />one -cent local option sales tax revenue, grant funds, stormwater MSBU funds, and Vero Lake
<br />Estates assessments. The expenditures within this category for fiscal years 2019/20 through 2023/24
<br />total $15,425,000, representing 3.95% of the overall CIP.
<br />Transportation
<br />As the costliest CIP category, transportation includes intersection improvements, road widenings,
<br />sidewalk installations, turn lanes, paving, and related projects throughout the county. Generally,
<br />capital improvements to county maintained roads are funded by traffic impact fees, the County's one
<br />cent local option sales tax revenue, and gas tax revenue, while sidewalks are funded through grants,
<br />one cent local option sales tax revenue, and gas tax revenue. Some expenditures for roads are also
<br />funded by the State of Florida, developers, and grants. Overall, the transportation category
<br />expenditures represent nearly half (47.24%) of the entire five year CIP and totals $184,302,985, an
<br />amount which is $11,716,535 more than last year's five year transportation CIP of $172,586,450.
