body
BACKGROUND
Five-Year Forecast:
As part of the County’s annual budget process, the Board reviews the five-year forecast. This presentation is intended to highlight any financial trends in revenues and expenses that help inform the upcoming budget process. The projects provided in the five-year forecast are high-level assumptions and are intended to reflect general financial trends to inform policy. This is not intended to establish preliminary budget figures nor to present an accounting of fund balances.
The Napa County Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Fiscal Year 2025-26 through 2029-30 provides direction to plan and manage capital assets, infrastructure and facility needs. The plan also allows the county to better understand the ongoing maintenance needs.
Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan:
Approving the Five-Year CIP does not appropriate funding for any specific projects or assets. Funding for individual projects and assets will occur with the annual budget process. The CIP is a planning document to inform budget decisions. Funds required to support the projects have either been previously approved by the Board or will be presented to the Board to be approved within the budget process. The plan is designed to preserve or enhance facilities and, in some cases, provide new facilities to respond to changing service needs. The document will be updated each year and presented to the board.
The General Fund is currently projected to provide approximately $50,000,000 during five years of The Plan. The projects that the General Fund will support include a portion of the Animal Shelter facility, the Fifth Street Parking Garage, the Sheriff Facility, the Capell Fire Station remodel, the Juvenile Justice Center, portions of the Facility Master Plan, leasing and improving new office space for the Probation Department. There are notable high priority projects that currently do not have a funding source. These projects include: the Cuttings Wharf Boat Launch, Mt. St. Helena Tower Replacement, a portion of the Animal Shelter facility, the Innovations Community Center and the Bella House. The total unfunded amount to complete these five facilities would be just over $2,000,000 over the five years of The Plan.
The CIP does not commit the Board to any specific projects. The estimated costs of projects and assets may vary significantly than what is in the CIP due to market forces.
