Commission prioritizes roads, site cleanup and phased McIntosh Safety Campus in FY27 ICIP discussion
Summary
The board reviewed proposed FY27 ICIP changes, prioritized shovel‑ready road projects and phased site improvements at the McIntosh Safety Campus (security, drainage, cleanup), and discussed a proposed three‑story training tower estimated at $750,000 to support regional training.
Grants Administrator Jody Cornwall led an extended discussion of the FY27 Infrastructure and Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP), with commissioners and staff focusing on prioritizing shovel‑ready projects and clarifying which items should be retained or removed from the list.
Luke Fields proposed converting the McIntosh site into the McIntosh (Dominique Smith Memorial) Safety Campus with phased work beginning with drainage, fencing and cleanup to improve site security and operations. Staff and commissioners debated a proposed three‑story training tower (preliminary estimate ~$750,000) versus upgrading existing regional training arrangements and recommended phasing to avoid locking expansion options. Road priorities included a strategic push for micro seal (double chip seal) projects using $500,000 cycles (estimated 5–6 miles per cycle), continued pursuit of the Martinez Road engineered project (~$1.5M estimate) in phased segments, and a proposed countywide road condition assessment (~$300,000) to support multi‑year planning.
Commissioners agreed to keep the McIntosh campus items on the ICIP, prioritize immediate cleanup/drainage/security work, and pursue phased funding for larger elements like the training tower and Martinez Road funding requests.
