Thank you all. Thank you, Ms. Madden. All right. On to our main discussion point for this morning. Number three discussion items. We will have a presentation for the capital improvement program. I will turn it over to the county exec.
Thank you. Thank you very much, Chair. I'm going to have first acting Deputy County Executive Dave Sinclair stand and introduce this presentation, and then we'll have Matthew come up. I just wanted to remind the committee that, as a board, we talked to you all back in the late spring about the capital improvement program. And this is a product of that discussion. We've certainly... I saw the presentation a few weeks back, and the team has really done a good job taking what you have, well, what the board suggested that we wanted to see to bring some level of standard to the way that we bring capital improvement projects into the program. And so look forward to this discussion and your guidance and reaction.
so that we can make sure that as we enter this budget season that we have a process, if you will, for bringing the capital program together and capital projects into it. And so with that, I'll ask Dave if you'd stand up and introduce. Good morning, Chair Bote, members of the committee. I'd like to introduce Matt Cornelison. He is the Office of Management and Budgets Capital Improvement Program Coordinator. He has visited the board and the committee a couple times now describing some of the major points for improving the county's CIP development process. He and his partner Sandra Melgar have been working with a cross section of county representatives throughout the quadrants to develop a CIP steering committee.
He's going to update you on their work to date and suggested improvements for the committee to consider for this year's CIP which the county executive will present in February of next year. Matt.
Morning, Mr. Chair, members of the committee. My name is Matthew Cornelison. I'm with the Office of Management and Budget. As Mr. Shorter and Dave just mentioned, I'm going to be speaking about the Capital Improvement Program and some process improvements we've been working on the past few months. The Board may recall back in January, the Budget Office presented a, we're going to introduce, we're going to begin working on some process improvements. We've been working on that through the spring and summer, and we said we would return to the Board or to the Finance Budget Committee to discuss that. So as promised, here we are. Very briefly, the purpose of today's presentation, I'm going to, back in January, that was quite a while ago, so I'm just going to briefly refresh everyone's memories on what we discussed and what we've been working on.
I'm going to review some of the standardized project prioritization criteria that we've been working on. Gonna briefly describe the CIPs, the selection process that project new requests undergo to get into the CIP. And then finally, what we're asking for today from the committee, not necessarily a decision, but we're just looking for feedback. Do you like what you've heard today? Do you have any concerns, any questions, any comments? So from back in January, the presentation, there were essentially three
What is the purpose and key components of the Capital Improvement Program presentation?
to do three action items that came out of that work session. One, we were gonna develop a CIP, a steering committee for the CIP. We're gonna develop standardized criteria by which we're gonna use to prioritize the new CIP requests. And then we're gonna develop a process for selecting the projects which will be included in the proposed CIP.
