Board hears CIP proposals including buses, utility well development and Don Community Building design
Summary
County staff presented the FY2027–2031 capital improvement program, proposing $6.7M in FY27 projects across public safety, solid waste, parks, and utilities, and discussed borrowing and reserve strategies for project funding.
The county’s proposed FY2027–2031 capital improvement program (CIP) totaled approximately $92.1 million for general fund projects and separately proposed utility CIP work including well development and wastewater upgrades. Key FY27 recommendations included vehicle and equipment replacements for sheriff and fire/rescue, a reserve engine and ambulance, parking lot and building upgrades, and an allocation toward the Don Community Building design and construction work.
Mister Kelly said the recommended FY27 general‑fund transfer for school capital projects included replacement buses (8 new buses at approximately $977,895) and security and infrastructure upgrades at schools. For utilities, staff proposed loan proceeds and reserve drawdown to fund well development and pump station rehabilitation. The CIP presentation identified potential loan proceeds of about $3 million and noted a planned use of reserves and SNAP investment proceeds to limit immediate general‑fund impacts.
