County finance staff on Monday reviewed the FY2026 capital improvement plan (CIP) and discussed preservation and new construction projects the county proposes to fund in 2026 and future years.

Brian Eigenjrew of Financial Services reviewed CIP format and said the FY2026 column contains the county’s currently budgeted projects. Preservation items in the FY2026 column included repaving and a refresh for the David Segal Center (the adult day‑care facility), parking‑lot work tied to the human services campus, a roof replacement at Legacy House (Princess Place), HVAC and ADA updates, and resurfacing on the Lehigh Trail.

Commissioners asked for clarity about the Segal Center plan. Staff said the county intends to bring a focused presentation in October from the human services team with options for the adult day‑care program. Meanwhile the board instructed staff to earmark but hold the Segal Center renovation funds pending the outcome of that October presentation and a board decision about continuing the adult day‑care program. Staff said if the board opted to repurpose the Segal Center building the county would need to reconfigure the space to support paratransit and other human‑services offices.

Other items discussed included funding for new construction (fire stations, EOC/dispatch adjustments), a $75,000 estimate for the HHS parking lot, and a small stormwater fund to seed future projects. Commissioners discussed the animal control/facility topic and the process for adding large unfunded projects into future CIP years; staff said multi‑year shifting of columns is the standard approach and that inclusion in years 2–5 does not itself allocate funding.

Staff said the FY2026 preservation total is roughly $1.2 million; commissioners asked staff to return with any follow‑up budget detail and to keep Segal Center funds reserved until the October program presentation.
