Board adopts Calaveras County final FY2025–26 capital improvement program
Summary
The Calaveras County Board of Supervisors adopted the Public Works Department’s final FY2025–26 Capital Improvement Program after staff updates including project-selection criteria, a future-project list and a planned five-year paving list; the motion passed 4-0-1.
The Calaveras County Board of Supervisors voted May 27 to adopt the Public Works Department’s final fiscal year 2025–26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Public Works Director Micah Martin presented changes since the preliminary draft, including an added executive summary describing criteria for project selection, a future-project list for later years of the five-year CIP and work under way on a five-year paving list. Martin said those materials are meant to make the department’s selection process more data-driven and to provide transparency to the public on how paving and other projects are prioritized.
Martin and staff also described related planning efforts that inform the CIP: an active transportation plan (with recreational trails), a bridge improvement plan, a travel-demand model, the regional transportation plan (RTP), and an evacuation needs assessment and preparedness plan. Martin told the board that staff shortages — notably an open senior engineer position — have slowed development of the full five-year plan but that staff expects a more complete five-year program by this time next year.
Martin updated the board on ongoing negotiations tied to the Wagon Trail project. He said the California Transportation Commission had approved extensions of funding and that county staff were in discussions with Caltrans about finishing design and moving toward construction; a decision for a report back to the board is expected as negotiations progress.
Deputy director Robert Patchinger and the Public Works business administrator (identified as Kelly in the meeting) were credited for their contributions to the CIP. The board adopted the resolution on a 4-0-1 vote.
