End
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Review and provide direction to staff on recommended refinements to the Priority Ranking Criteria for the FY 2020-24 CIP.
Body
SUMMARY:
Each year a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is prepared for Board consideration and approval. The CIP describes the District’s capital investment priorities. Only projects that are funded are included in the CIP, and all projects receive a priority ranking based on the Priority Ranking Criteria. To ensure that projects in the CIP reflect Board priorities, the proposed Priority Ranking Criteria for the FY 2020-24 CIP are presented in Attachment 1 for Board discussion. The CIP Priority Ranking Criteria will be used to prioritize projects for the FY 2020-24 CIP. The Preliminary CIP will be presented to the Board on January 8, 2019. For reference, the Priority Ranking Criteria that were used for the Board-adopted FY 2019-23 CIP are presented in Attachment 2.
The proposed FY 2020-24 Priority Ranking Criteria reflect modifications recommended by staff and/or the Board CIP Committee. The recommended changes incorporate climate change and environmental justice consideration into the criteria. Staff is also recommending some changes to the categories of Primary Objective and Cost Recovery to standardize the criteria among the five categories of projects included in the District’s CIP.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with this item.
CEQA:
