Supervisors update capital needs Students of assessment list • Acquiring land for San the Month Joe Naiman Village News Correspondent A 5-0 San Diego County Board of Supervisors vote April 15 approved the annual update of the county’s Capital Improvement Needs Assessment Program. The updated needs assessment retains land acquisition for the San Luis Rey River Park as an item requiring funding over the next five years and also retains the acquisition of land for the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) and the replacement of the Regional Communication System (RCS) network. New projects to the list include Don Dussault Park improvements. “Each year the Department of General Services takes a close look at the county’s buildings, facilities,
maintenance, and improvements and then projects the county’s needs for the next five years. The report helps shape the county budget,” said Supervisor Bill Horn. The 2014-19 needs assessment covers facilities projects slated for capital improvement between 2014 and 2019 but does not include funding for those projects. The supervisors’ vote, however, also referred the program to the county’s chief administrative officer to determine timing and funding mechanisms to implement the individual projects. The plan includes approximately $633.3 million in partially funded and unfunded priority projects. Because the capital planning process which includes the Capital Improvement Needs Assessment
Luis Rey River Park • Improvements to Don Dussault Park Program focuses on facilities, road projects are not included on the capital improvements list. A Facilities Planning Board prioritizes projects based on criteria including benefits and linkage to the county’s strategic plan. The partially funded and unfunded projects on the list consist of projects estimated to exceed $10 million, which were ranked by the Facilities Planning Board, and projects estimated to cost under $10 million, which were
listed but not ranked. Additional projects which have been identified but require further analysis to define their scope will be brought to the Board of Supervisors for inclusion on a future Capital Improvement Needs Assessment Program list. The replacement of the RCS ranks first among the six partially funded and unfunded major (over $10 million) projects. The project to design, procure, and install the
