Any substantial capital project added after adoption of the CIP will require an amendment and will affect cash flows, future CIP capability and mill levy projections.

If the capital improvement request is less than $75,000, the amendment process is as follows:

1. Upon receipt of a capital improvement request, the request shall be forwarded to the appropriate goal area committee for consideration.

2. If the goal area committee decides to fund the request, the goal area committee will identify possible funding sources and/or possible project/projects to be substituted for the requested project.

3. The staff will incorporate the project amendment into the current CIP as directed by the goal area committee and inform the Governing Body of the goal area committee's action.

If the capital improvement request is $75,000 or more, the amendment process is as follows.

1. Upon receipt of a capital improvement request, the request shall be forwarded to the appropriate goal area committee for consideration.

2. The goal area committee shall review the proposed project and determine whether to recommend the requested amendment. If recommended, the goal area committee will also identify a funding source (or sources) and/or projects to be substituted or rescheduled to accommodate the requested project. The goal area committee will report its recommendation to the Governing Body. Prior to consideration of this recommendation by the Governing Body, the goal area committee's recommendation will be forwarded to the Finance, Administration and Economic Development Committee for review.

3. The Finance, Administration and Economic Development Committee will review the recommendation of the goal area committee and evaluate the impact the recommended project's inclusion in the CIP will have on the overall financial pan and the established financial standards. The Finance, Administration and Economic Development committee will report this information and any comments regarding the goal area committee's recommendation to the Governing Body for final consideration.

4. The Governing Body will consider information regarding the proposed amendment and the recommendations from the goal area and FAED committees. If the requested amendment is approved by the Governing Body, the staff will incorporate the proposed changes into the current CIP.
