PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Discuss the preliminary 2025 Draft Parks and Greenways Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and 2025 Draft Environmental Resources CIP.
SUMMARY
As part of the annual budget process, the County prepares a five-year CIP. The CIP identifies capital projects to support existing and future needs. It provides a development program that is used to maximize outside revenue sources and effectively plan for the future growth and maintenance of the County's infrastructure.
