PURPOSE
To define the policy on the preparation and approval of the
annual Capital Improvement Program.
BACKGROUND
District staff develops and maintains a Water Facilities Master
Plan (WFMP), an Integrated Water Resources Plan (IRP), a Program
Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), and a Strategic Plan that,
collectively, are used to prepare the annual Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) and to identify the CIP projects required for
ultimate buildout. Every five years, the Board certifies the
PEIR and approves the revised WFMP. Annually, staff prepares a
six-year moving window CIP that provides information on budget
assumptions, source of funds, allocation of funds, project
costs, project location, description, justification, scheduling,
etc. The six-year CIP is submitted and presented to the Board
of Directors to obtain approval for staff to proceed with
implementation to plan, design, and construct facilities and
programs necessary to meet the needs of the District.
POLICY
The General Manager, or his designee, shall prepare a proposed
six-year CIP for submission to the Board of Directors for their
review prior to and approval by June 30 of each fiscal year.
The CIP projects shall be reviewed and updated annually to
consider appropriate revisions based on the most recent WFMP,
IRP, Strategic Plan, and market condition information. The
timing of projects shall be based on necessity and availability
of financing. The intent is that new CIP projects will be
installed as development requires the facilities. With regard
to all CIP projects, it is acknowledged that compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act adds a measure of unpre-
dictability with regard to the timing of CIP projects.
The WFMP, IRP, and the CIP projects shall be divided into two
phases: Phase I - one to six years; and Phase II - seven to
ultimate buildout. CIP project sheets for projects in Phase I
shall be prepared and identify estimated total cost, cash
expenditure timing, location, description, justification,
funding allocation, and schedule. For the Phase II CIP
projects, the CIP shall identify the need for the projects,
along with their estimated total cost and funding allocation.
