Committee ranks 2027–2029 CIP priorities, flags building upgrades
Summary
The committee prioritized 2027 projects (fire suppression, shop drainage) and recommended departmental repairs be funded from department funds where feasible. Members asked staff to prepare budget formats and discuss a funding mechanism at the next meeting.
Members of the Oneida County Public Works Committee reviewed and ranked potential 2027–2029 capital-improvement program requests during the Aug. 6 meeting.
Highway Commissioner Ben Rich said the finance director and some county supervisors suggested including the standard $1.5 million road-construction CIP request inside the department budget; staff will develop two budget formats for review. Committee members ranked 2027 general-fund priorities as fire suppression and shop drainage, with department-funded items such as furnace and condenser upgrades and painting listed separately.
Member Bob Almekinder emphasized exterior repairs to preserve the building—"the exterior tuck-pointing and roof sealing should be a high priority"—while Billy Fried noted the committee had "agreed to funding upgrades over the next three years" and asked staff to propose a funding mechanism at the next meeting. The committee also suggested consulting IT about security-camera costs for 2028.
