Background
The Washtenaw County Road Commission revises its five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) each year. The current CIP is for 2010-2014 and was adopted by the Board of County Road Commissioners on November 3, 2009. 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 projects
-
Incorporate community objectives into project planning
- Inform the public about future projects and plans
The 2010-2014 CIP
The 5-year CIP is revised on an annual basis, unless otherwise
directed by the Board of County Road Commissioners. The 2010-2014
CIP was recently approved by the Board at its regular meeting held
on November 3, 2009. The CIP was based in part on projects
requested by local municipalities. This document will be used as a
guide in upcoming budget discussions regarding permanent,
physical, or system improvements to the county road network in
excess of $100,000, or for significant equipment purchases in
excess of $100,000 with a useful life of at least ten years.
Future CIP’s
Development of future CIP’s is a continuous process. Throughout the coming year, WCRC staff will work with our stakeholders in considering their needs for the next cycle of the CIP. See CIP scheduled events below.
Thanks to all of the stakeholders who provide input for consideration in the development of our CIP.
