Title
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS ASSESSMENT - FISCAL YEARS 2026-27 THROUGH 2030-31 (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
A network of well-maintained infrastructure and amenities is essential to the quality of life, as well as health and safety, for the residents of San Diego County and the people who staff and utilize the infrastructure. The Capital Improvement Needs Assessment (CINA), referred to publicly as the Capital Plan, is a strategic, long-term infrastructure assessment of the County of San Diego's (County's) responsibility to take care of its aging infrastructure while enhancing sustainability and improving resilience of our capital investments. The CINA is not a budget document, rather it is a planning tool that presents operational and community needs for capital investments, and the estimated financial resources that would be required to meet those needs. The CINA is reviewed and revised annually through an iterative process that considers community needs, County operational needs, and financial resources available to meet those needs.
The Fiscal Years 2026-27 through 2030-31 CINA process identified a need for the County to modernize the Vista Detention Facility, rural fire and patrol stations, revitalize existing infrastructure, meet statewide stormwater mandates, and improve access to the County's extensive network of parks and trails. Today's request would approve the Fiscal Years 2026-27 through 2030-31 CINA and refer it to the Chief Administrative Officer for funding identification and timelines to implement individual projects.
