Chair urges departments to prepare five‑year capital plans
Summary
Chair Scott J. Van Etten told the committee the Legislature wants departments to produce five‑year capital plans to forecast end‑of‑life replacements and future large expenditures.
Chair Scott J. Van Etten said the committee wants departments to prepare five‑year capital plans so the Legislature can anticipate large capital outlays and plan accordingly. "One of the committee’s goals for this year is to have the departments create a five-year capital plan. We want to be able to see and plan for those large capital outlays that will happen in the future," he said.
Van Etten described the plans as a snapshot to help identify items reaching end of life and to inform budgeting cycles; the committee did not take a formal vote on the directive but emphasized the expectation for departments to provide those plans during the year.
