Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Applicability The concurrency management plan monitoring system has applicability to more than just level -of - service measurement. It also provides the basis for assessing facility expansion needs and therefore capital improvements programming. By maintaining an accurate and up-to-date estimate of available capacity, the need for facility expansion can be recognized before all capacity is used. By incorporating the monitoring system into the capital improvements programming process, capital budgets can be prepared based on reliable information and valid estimates of need. Goal, Obiectives and Policies Goal It is the goal of Indian River County to provide needed capital improvements through the use of sound fiscal decision making. Objectives and Policies Objective 1: Construction of Capital Facilities By 2025, the county will have completed those capital improvements schedule projects that replace obsolete or worn-out facilities, eliminate existing deficiencies or accommodate desired future growth. Policy :I: The county shall maintain a five-year capital improvement program and pursuant to Section 163.3177(3)(b) F.S. evaluate and update that program every year to reflect existing and future public facility needs of the county. This capital improvement program will ensure that the plan is financially feasible and that the adopted level -of -service standards are achieved and maintained. Policy 1.2: The county and the School District shall undertake only those capital improvements included within this element's adopted capital improvements program. Pursuant to Section 163.3177(3)(b) F.S., the Capital Improvements Element will be reviewed every year. If any facility identified in the Schedule of Capital Improvements is delayed or deferred in construction, or is eliminated from the capital improvements program, and this delay, deferral, or elimination will cause the level -of -service to deteriorate below the adopted minimum level of service standard for the facility, a comprehensive plan amendment will be required to adjust the Schedule of Capital Improvements. The annual update of the capital improvement element shall be done with a single public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners and a copy of the ordinance amending the Capital Improvements Element shall be transmitted to DEO.
