County’s CIP lists jail repairs, sidewalks and courthouse projects as top 2027 priorities
Summary
The Public Works Committee reviewed the 2027–2032 capital improvement program. Major items include sidewalks ($250K), extensive jail repairs and waterproofing, courthouse projects and a catch‑all 'all buildings' line for recurring maintenance; staff suggested moving smaller recurring work to operating budgets.
The Ontario County Public Works Committee reviewed the draft 2027–2032 capital improvement program, which prioritizes building repairs, jail‑related work and recurring facility maintenance. A presenter told supervisors the CIP includes a $250,000 sidewalk project and numerous jail items — interior painting, parking‑lot reconstruction, exterior waterproofing and HVAC work — and described an "all buildings" category covering masonry, elevator upgrades, flooring and painting.
Committee members and staff debated where to draw the line between capital improvements and routine maintenance; staff said some recurring building repairs may make more sense in operating budgets to avoid inflating the CIP and the associated tax levy. The presenter also noted that some projects were "legacy" items from previous administrations and may need revisiting before final programming. Bonding for a new FLCC Spring Building rose in the CIP discussion from earlier estimates, with staff saying bonding needs appear closer to $15 million than $13 million.
