Summary

Staff presented an FY26 CIP request lineup (total request about $10.28M) with $1.4M proposed from the 3¢ tax-rate set-aside; highlighted projects included a refrigerated food truck for social services (~$77,000), courthouse vault/window upgrades (~$114,000), vehicle replacements and a regional water/sewer master-plan request.

Rollins reviewed the county’s capital-improvement program requests, saying the total CIP request is roughly $10.28 million and that $1.4 million would be funded via a 3¢ set-aside on the tax rate and a small use of the revenue stabilization fund to balance the package.

Specific projects called out included repairs to the certifier station, a refrigerated food truck to transport hot meals to seniors (Rollins said funding for one unit was recommended at about $77,000), and courthouse vault and window upgrades with an estimated vault upgrade cost shown as $114,000. Rollins also described a request to develop a water and sewer master plan for the 460 corridor and a sub-regional plan with nearby localities.

Staff recommended a one-year approach to CIP planning this cycle, saying fiscal commitments for later years are shown only where contractually obligated and that the board should focus next-year discussions on priority projects.
