However, these will be part of our 2019-2023 CIP discussion, so we want you to have the information heading into CIP discussions. A preliminary staff review would rank the projects as follows: - CTH N and Evergreen (due to cost and timing of other projects, a preliminary recommendation of 2021 for project timing) - CTH OO and French (due to cost, this project could be executed within 2019’s budget - CTH OO and Holland (outside of 5 year CIP and perhaps longer pending development or utility needs) There are other projects that staff discussed that could have impacts on the 5 year CIP or even should be considered for further discussion with the County. Those projects would include the undergoing Quiet Zone Study, Florida and CTH N and Rosehill and CTH OO. In particular, staff feels that Florida and CTH N should be reviewed in 2019. Finally, staff appreciates the County’s efforts in drafting these agreements so that our organizations can plan accordingly for shared efforts and put more data and planning behind our collective CIP effort.
