BACKGROUND
Background
As an annual part of the year-end close process, staff evaluate if capital projects can be closed or reallocated to best address capital needs, align with proper accounting standards, and address other emerging needs.
This agenda item seeks to:
(1) close identified capital projects that have been completed. Staff evaluated current project ordinances and identified projects that can be closed due to the completion of the project, receipt of all final invoices, and coordination with Finance to ensure financial reporting is complete. These final accounts are often the balance of any unspent funds on the project. After final accounting, $1,680,719 is available for re-appropriation including $1,108,491 in bond proceeds, and $572,228 in pay-go.
(2) Staff recommends appropriating $572,228 in savings to a Small Area Plan project. Small Area plans help the County proactively guide growth by creating a shared, place-specific framework for future land use, infrastructure, and development decisions rather than addressing each proposal in isolation. Upcoming area plans include the Liberty Road/Woody Hill small area plan.
(3) The Board previously authorized $1.25 million to address server room capital renovations. This action changes the name of that project from "FY26 Truist Building Repairs" to "County Technology Facility Infrastructure and Server Room".
(4) Allocate $256,396 in bond proceeds savings to complete the Juvenile Detention Facility Security Enhancements project (Scheduled to come before the Board at its November 2026 Meeting).
(5) Allocate $852,095 in bond proceeds savings to a Priority Deferred Capital for County capital projects.
(6) Appropriate $2,540,237 in bond proceeds previously reserved for Probation and Parole to a new project titled Probation and Parole Upfit and Renovations to facilitate the upfit of future space for probation and parole.
