The Public Works Director has discussed the <br /> status of the County Road Fund with the Roads Advisory Committee, so you are familiar <br /> with the revenue issues the Public Works Department faces. The draft is based on the <br /> best financial information available. <br /> As an overview, the 5-year total CIP program has decreased from $107 million in 05-09, <br /> to $59 million for the 06-10 program, and now is proposed to be $46,5 million for the 07- <br /> 11 5-year cycle. This is a substantial scaling back of the County Capital Improvement <br /> Program. Further reductions in the CIP or other programs may be necessary if <br /> reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of <br /> 2000 does not occur at the current funding level. <br /> i <br /> The draft continues to show elimination of the $2.5 million Road Partnership payments <br /> after FY 06-07. The Community Development Road Improvement Assistance Program <br /> (CAP) also remains unfunded as was presented last year. It is no longer shown as a <br /> category in the Summary Tables. Overlays and Pavement Rehabilitation and Covered <br /> Bridge Rehabilitation projects have been placed under a new category entitled <br /> PreservationJRehabilitation Funds. <br /> The base categories of Safety Improvements and Fish Passage Projects show a single <br /> allocation in FY 07-08 instead of a uniform series for all five years of the program. This <br /> allocation represents a set aside amount that can be anticipated for future projects and <br /> allows Public Works and partner agencies to plan for andlor request funds as projects <br /> become imminent <br /> The enclosed tables show the draft 5-year program at about the $46 million level. The <br /> 5-year net County CIP cost is just over $39 million, with the balance of around $7 million <br /> representing project specific revenues and grants that are anticipated.
