Ad Valorem – Capital Projects April 28, 2008
Purpose • Two budget workshops this week – today and tomorrow • Focus on Ad Valorem funded projects • Gain Board direction • Other non-ad Valorem funded projects will be reviewed at later workshops
Past Capital Accomplishments • Charlotte County has enjoyed a sustained period of building and re-building Capital Infrastructure. • The Event and Conference Center • Emergency Operations Center • New Fire Stations • Regional Parks • Mid County Regional Library
Budget Issues • Priorities from the Board of County Commissioners: • Reduce Murdock Village debt and develop a re-payment plan for the remaining debt • Consider delay of Capital Projects to help fund operations during reduced revenues from Amendment 1 and potential de-valuations
The Approach • Re-think each Ad Valorem funded project in the Adopted FY07/08 CIP • Putting projects into the following categories: • Projects Eliminated • Projects Delayed • Projects Continued
Projects Eliminated • Projects that are suspended and budgeted dollars can be re-directed for Murdock debt pay-down or revenue shortfall
Projects Delayed • Projects that will be delayed (moved out of the CIP for FY07/08) and re-directed for Murdock pay-down or revenue shortfall. • Delay includes re-thinking and re-engineering • Delay period: 1-4 years • How will projects get re-funded? - capital millage rate .3887 - $7M
Projects Continued • Currently in construction • Safety or ADA Issues • Concurrency
How much to re-direct? • Goal - $22 Million • $11 M for Murdock pay-down • $11 M for Revenue shortfall Redirection comes from eliminated and delayed projects
