FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: April 17, 1990
SUBJECT: Approval of the 5 Year Capital Road Improvement Program
Specific equest(s) or Recommendation(s) &Bac group u kation
I. RECOMMENDATION
Approve the 5-year Capital Road Improvement Program (CRIP). The CRIP was distributed to
the Supervisors' offices on March 27, 1990, for their review and is also on file with the Clerk of
the Board.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of the CRIP will outline the projected projects and expenditures of road related funds
throughout the next five years.
The CRIP is a programming document. Approval of the CRIP by the Board does not
automatically approve each individual project listed in the CRIP. Each project must undergo its
own individual engineering feasibility analysis and environmental assessment.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
In response to the requirements outlined in Measure "C", the Board has made a commitment
to establish a five-year County Road Improvement Program (CRIP). On May 9, 1989, the Board
adopted a County Road Improvement Policy to guide the development of the CRIP. The first
step towards producing our first CRIP was completed several months ago when the CRIP Fund
Estimate was approved by the Board. The Fund Estimate outlines the funding that the Public
Works Department and Community Development Department estimate will be available for
capital road improvements over the next five years. The CRIP itself is a financial document that
outlines which projects the funds are anticipated to be spent on for each of the next five fiscal
years.

Adopting a CRIP to guide our capital improvements will do several things for the County:
* Increased public awareness of how and where funds will be spent on our road system.
* Enhanced public image and public trust by showing that funds are programmed in detail and
will be expended in accordance with a bona fide program.
* More public involvement in the programming and expenditure of our capital funds.
* Provide accurate"accountability"of whether our transportation system will meet acceptable levels
of service to satisfy our growth management policies.
* Provide a basis for projecting staffing needs over the next five years.
* Provide a budget tool to track expenditures of each type of funding utilized for capital
improvements.
The Transportation Committee has reviewed and approved the CRIP.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to approve the CRIP will greatly hamper the road improvements for the next five years. Without
an approved CRIP, the Public Works Department will lack direction for project planning and staff
requirements in the coming years.
Measure "C" and the County's proposed growth management policy also re uire a CRIP be enacted
to meet the anticipated needs of new development impacts on the roadway systems. Without an
approved CRIP program the County will not be able to fulfill this requirement, which would jeopardize.
our Measure "C" return to source funding.
