Thank you, Mr. Chair. Uh I'd like to welcome you all here. This is our Probably our final planned workshop uh heading into into trim on on our budget process. Um there's there's a lot that goes into the budget and the capital program is is at least half of that budget that you pass every every year. And as you state, Commissioner, there there are a number of a lot of moving parts. capital is a is a is a huge expense um and it's it's the infrastructure that our that our citizens and our community
need to to grow and to thrive. So today uh Amy Farrell will be presenting um Portions of that capital program. We have plenty of team members here who are responsible for the execution of that program here today in the case that you have questions regarding it. And she's also going to go over a few other things that just during the course of our of our briefings heading into trim that uh we needed to make sure that we discussed with the board and provided input. So with that uh I'll uh introduce our budget director Amy Farrell.
Hi good morning. Um because every time we try to do a little bit better than we did last time before I dig into slide I just want to orient everyone to the packets in front of them. So you've got slides with content that we'll be covering today, and then you've got supplemental materials. So the first thing in your supplemental material is a packet of large maps. Why? Because it's easier to see in front of you sometimes than it is up on the projector. Then we've got a bunch of details. So our road capital program is very complex. There's
a lot of moving pieces, and so we try to simplify it, but we also wanted to make sure that you all had the details. So you've got a packet of Projects that are within the county's budget. Behind that, you have a packet of developer transportation obligations occurring in the next five years. And then you've got supplemental content related to that program as well. And in that supplemental content, we've got countywide intersection projects, countywide streetlight projects, we've got
high-ranked but unfunded county projects.
Alright, I'm gonna speak a little bit more into my microphone. Alright, and then we've got F dot projects that are not yet in their funding plan. So that's the packet in front of you. And when we get to the transportation bit of the presentation, that's where all the details will be, and then the presentation will show highlight summaries.
All right, so what are we going to cover this morning? Well we're going to do a budget cycle overview. It is a long nine-month planning process, so we always like to come back and talk about the body of work that's occurred, where we're at now, and then what's still left to do before we adopt a final budget. And then we're going to ground ourselves in our strategic priorities because that strategic plan is the bedrock for how we plan into the future. Then we're gonna highlight our major funds. We're gonna look at some business plan initiatives that
the county administrator is um Looking at recommending and considering for the next fiscal year. We're gonna do a dive into our road rehabilitation MSTU. We're going to look at our five-year capital plan. And then we're going to highlight our debt portfolio.
