Background
The Washtenaw County Road Commission revises its five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) each year. The current CIP is for 2008-2012. The CIP is designed to serve as a blueprint or guide for mapping the Road Commission’s capital expenditures by combining community planning, financial capacity and physical development.
The CIP is intended to:
-
Facilitate coordination between capital needs and the operating budget
-
Identify the most economical means of financing capital projects
-
Increase opportunities for obtaining federal and state aid
-
Relate public road and bridge facilities to other public and private development policies and plans
-
Incorporate community objectives into project planning
- Inform the public about future projects and plans
The CIP was based in part on projects requested by local municipalities. Unfunded local requests and unfunded WCRC projects that did not get included in the 2008-2012 CIP will be considered for inclusion in future updates. In addition, the 2008-2012 CIP will include expenditures for facilities and equipment. Only projects that meet the following criteria are included in the CIP:
-
Be consistent with: 1) an adopted or anticipated component of county or township plans, 2) a state or federal requirement, or 3) a WCRC approved policy
-
Constitute permanent, physical or system improvement in excess of $100,000; or significant equipment purchases in excess of $100,000 with a useful life of at least ten years; or a study of at least $100,000 that will lead to such projects
- Add to the value or capacity to the county road network
The CIP will be revised on an annual basis, unless otherwise directed by the Board of County Road Commissioners. A review of agency assets will be conducted and contact with local units of government will be scheduled prior to each revision. The CIP is an ongoing, working document with procedures that will evolve over time.
