 Document needs
 Assess alignment with BOS Priorities/Comp Plan
 Prioritize needs
 Evaluate funding options
 Balance needs with available funding
 Adopt a plan of action

CIP Process
4
• Post Fillable on-line form and scoring system
• Department Heads (DHs) submit requests after
determining pricing and other details with assistance
from Engineering, Central Purchasing and outside
contractors
• Post submissions on-line
• Budget Team reviews projects with DHs
• Planning Commission reviews and scores projects
• Tabulate scores, average and list in numerical order
• County Administrator drafts CIP for BOS presentation
Project Scoring/Prioritization
5
Scored new, year one projects and maintained scores from
previous years for maintenance or annual projects – paving,
school buses, etc.
Inflation and Interest Factors
6
• An inflationary contingency factor of 4% is used and
applied to the total project cost. The rate was
compounded to help ensure adequate projections for
outlying years.
• A 5% interest rate was estimated for long-term and short-
term borrowing. The estimate is expected to also cover
any fees associated with borrowing.
Funding Options
7
Potential CIP Funding Sources
• Fund Balance Unassigned/Committed for PayGo
projects
• Bonds - Long Term Debt Financing to support major
project construction
• Bonds - Long Term Debt Financing to support combining
of PayGo projects
• Bonds – Mid-Term and/or Supplier Debt Financing
• Performance Contracting options
• Grants
• Donations
Unassigned Fund Balance
8
With a 16% reserve, there would
be a remaining $3,294,373 for
PayGo projects.
15.5% 4,001,978
15% 4,709,584
14% 6,124,796

5 years of requests would take until 2036, 11 years, to pay off while
additional maintenance and other needs would be occurring.
Negative Impacts of Project Delays
14
• Inflationary expenses may outpace the ability to generate
new revenue
• Example: Beaverdam Parking Paving Project
• Project costs may increase due to the delay resulting in need
for additional work/repair
• Example: Roof Repair
• Facilities and services for students and citizens are not
available
• Example: Park Playgrounds
Shortfall Solutions
15
• Postpone projects
• Deny projects as not needed or desired
• Use School Sales Tax reserves to cover a portion of PayGo
expenses
• Use School Sales Tax reserves to cover a debt payment for
new borrowing
• Raise taxes to generate additional revenue for PayGo
projects
• Raise taxes to generate revenue to cover debt payment for
new borrowing
Note: Use of debt retirement savings has already been factored in

CA Ranking Notes
• Historic Preservation – Grant Supported, Vulnerable
Facilities
• Generator and A/C for Building One – Only if Grant
Funded - $0 to cost to County
• Elevator – Risk of Access Restrictions to Building One
• Beaverdam Dock/Bulkhead/Bridge Replacements –
Existing trail area closed, compounding erosion,
expansion of services
• Roof Replacement & Refurbishment – Maintenance
Needs – Risk of further damage
25
Replacement of Finance Plus &
Community Plus Software
26
Implemented in 2004
Upgraded in 2016 and 2023
Software is now end of life and will eventually be unsupported
System of Record for 6 Departments providing core services
• Finance, Purchasing, Planning & Zoning, Environmental, Building Inspections,
Utilities
Timeline of Funding Requests
• Initial request in 2015
• Has remained a part of the CIP requests for the last 9 years with exception of
FY24, when the Tyler implementation was being completed.
Software Projects Previously Funded
• EGTS Replacement (Treasurer/Commissioner)
Software was fully unsupported by the time it was replaced
• Questica Budget Software (Personnel Budgeting)
Likely will become obsolete with new system
Replacement of Finance Plus &
Community Plus Software
27
Why Now?
• Extended more frequent downtime that cannot be explained by the company
• Lack of available support: Company only has one dedicated person that is familiar
with the antiquated version of the software we have
• Replacement ensures continuity, efficiency, and modernization of critical functions.
– Integration with the Treasurer
– Integration with payroll
– Integration with AMI
– Workflow for improved efficiency
• Note – all software is now subscription based. There will be an annual fee
for any new software – Approx. $500,000 per year.
Recommended Funding Strategy
28
Additional Debt will require an
approximately $.015 (1½ cents)
tax increase.
Use Sales Tax “excess funds” to
cover payment of approximately
$500,000 a year. Savings by
avoiding inflationary costs

The rate was compounded to help ensure adequate projections for outlying years. • A 5% interest rate was estimated for long-term and short- term borrowing. The estimate is expected to also cover any fees associated with borrowing.

    Negative Impacts ofProject Delays 14 • Inflationary expenses may outpace the ability to generate new revenue • Example: Beaverdam Parking Paving Project • Project costs may increase due to the delay resulting in need for additional work/repair • Example: Roof Repair • Facilities and services for students and citizens are not available • Example: Park Playgrounds
  • 15.
    Shortfall Solutions 15 • Postponeprojects • Deny projects as not needed or desired • Use School Sales Tax reserves to cover a portion of PayGo expenses • Use School Sales Tax reserves to cover a debt payment for new borrowing • Raise taxes to generate additional revenue for PayGo projects • Raise taxes to generate revenue to cover debt payment for new borrowing Note: Use of debt retirement savings has already been factored in

Software Projects Previously Funded • EGTS Replacement (Treasurer/Commissioner) Software was fully unsupported by the time it was replaced • Questica Budget Software (Personnel Budgeting) Likely will become obsolete with new system
  • 27.
    Replacement of FinancePlus & Community Plus Software 27 Why Now? • Extended more frequent downtime that cannot be explained by the company • Lack of available support: Company only has one dedicated person that is familiar with the antiquated version of the software we have • Replacement ensures continuity, efficiency, and modernization of critical functions. – Integration with the Treasurer – Integration with payroll – Integration with AMI – Workflow for improved efficiency • Note – all software is now subscription based. There will be an annual fee for any new software – Approx. $500,000 per year.
