ANALYSIS <br />The process for updating the CIE involves collaborating with the budget and finance departments <br />to gather information about past and predicted future revenues and expenditures, then working <br />with each county department to determine the status of their capital improvements programs. <br />For each department, data related to completed and proposed projects, costs, revenues, <br />prioritization, and other factors were collected. The budget department reviewed the projects <br />and made necessary changes to ensure financial viability. Based on all these inputs, planning staff <br />revised the tables and text of the 5 -Year Capital Improvements Program and supporting data and <br />analysis. <br />Proposed Changes to the Capital Improvements Element <br />• Capital Improvements Program <br />The Capital Improvements Program lists all programmed capital improvements for fiscal years <br />2023/24 through 2027/28. The projects included in the CIP were chosen based on their need and <br />the County's financial capacity to complete them. As per the CIP, the total cost for all of the <br />projects planned for the next five fiscal years is $489,010,568. <br />The CIP is structured in ten categories: Coastal Management, Conservation and Aquifer Recharge, <br />Emergency Services, Facilities Management, Law Enforcement and Corrections, Parks and <br />Recreation, Sanitary Sewer and Potable Water, Solid Waste, Stormwater Management, and <br />Transportation. <br />Coastal Management <br />Beach renourishment projects in sectors 4, 5, and 7 represent the coastal management capital <br />projects that are scheduled to take place within the next five years.

The <br />total cost for these projects for the fiscal years 2023/24 through 2027/28 is estimated to be <br />$28,029,149. <br />Conservation and Aquifer Recharge <br />The focus of capital projects for conservation and aquifer recharge is to improve existing <br />conservation lands.
