The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) links the planning and budget activities of the District. The District's five-year CIP identifies spending for all anticipated capital projects identified through the planning and/or Prioritization Procedure. The CIP program prioritizes future projects and provides a plan for funding of those projects. The CIP enables the District and its stakeholders to identify when projects can be implemented and to coordinate the schedule and funding. A project's position in the CIP can change based on a number of factors, such as lack of funding and other resources, reduction in priority and lack of public support.
The District and our customer agencies have the opportunity to submit projects each year to the prioritization process. Projects are evaluated based on predetermined and weighted criteria including:
- Agency priority
- Master planning element
- Hydraulic/hydrologic (water flow) significance
- Level of storm protection
- Area protected
- Environmental quality
- Area-wide benefits
- Total project cost
- Level of partner participation
- Operation and maintenance costs
- Operation and maintenance responsibility
The District attempts to support and recommend flood control projects that, whenever possible, will provide a regional flood control benefit, and that will also contribute to community development, maintain the benefits of existing watercourses, help protect natural habitat and landscapes, and provide multiple-use opportunities for flood control facilities.
