Title
Consideration and Possible Approval of the FY2024 Through FY2028 State Infrastructure and Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP) Submission
Recommended Action
I move that Council approve the submission to the State of the ICIP as attached.
County Manager's Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council approve the ICIP as presented.
Body
The County is required to prepare and submit an Infrastructure and Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP) to the State by September 17, 2021. Generally, a project must appear on this list if the County expects to have any State funding considered for that project. Listing a project in the ICIP does not guarantee funding from the State, nor does this document constitute an application for funding. With limits in State revenues, very little consideration will be given to projects beyond the top five listed. Most legislative grants are expected to be in small amounts.
Several things must be noted about the rankings in the state's ICIP. First, the State's ICIP is a five-year plan. The top five projects for next year were chosen based on Council goals, discussions with County staff, necessity of the project, importance of the project based on previous discussions with Council and the Public, and potential for funding from the state. The ICIP includes all Utility Capital Projects and all General County Capital Projects. Studies are not listed. Excluding the top five projects, all other projects are in no particular ranking. The ICIP Ranking list is shown in Attachment A. A complete listing of all projects contained in the ICIP along with short overview of each project will be distributed prior to the County Council meeting on August 9, 2022.
Alternatives
Council could choose not to approve the submission, which could limit the County's ability to receive State funding. Council could also choose a different top five projects or change the order of the ranking of the top five.
