  • Analysis of the Proposed Capital Program 23
    SUFFOLK COUNTY LEGISLATURE Gail Vizzini BUDGET REVIEW OFFICE Director May 15, 2009 William J. Lindsay, Presiding Officer and Members of the Suffolk County Legislature Dear Legislators: Accompanying this letter is the Budget Review Office Review of the Proposed 2010-2012 Capital Program and 2010 Capital Budget. Although smaller than last year’s capital program and budget, the Legislature has the opportunity to determine whether the proposed program sufficiently plans for the County’s long-term needs. Among the policy issues for your consideration in the adoption of the 2010-2012 Capital Program and Budget are: What are the County’s options in terms of a long-term debt management policy? How do we manage escalating debt service costs due to prior authorizations for general fund projects and the fact that we will be bonding for the replacement jail in 2009 and 2010? Are we ready for the impact on general fund property taxes, especially considering the decline in sales tax revenue due to the economy and the significant two year operating budget shortfall? How to plan for and sufficiently fund the needs of the Southwest Sewer District including the replacement of the Outfall pipe, expansion in sewer capacity, on going maintenance and repair and the development of the scavenger waste facility? What is the proper level of capital funding to promote energy conservation and reduce the County’s energy consumption and operating costs? What is the appropriate level of current and future commitment to the capital needs of the Suffolk County Community College, to maximize state aid and coincide with the state five year aid plan for community colleges? This year the summary includes findings, recommendations and project status updates for many projects that do not appear in the project-by-project section.

The Village is divided by Lloyd Harbor into two areas, Lloyd Neck to the north ofthe harbor and West Neck (on the mainland) to the south ofthe harbor. The two regions ofthe Village are connected by a narrow isthmus, which carries the West Neck Road causeway and separates Lloyd Harbor from the Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor Complex. NOTE: in order to avoid confusion, throughout this LWRP the term "Lloyd Harbor" refers to the water body, while the land area is always referred to as "the Village of. " or "the Incorporated Village of. ". The Village is bounded on the north by Long Island Sound, on the south by unincorporated communities in the Town ofHuntington, on the west by the Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor Complex (which is situated mostly within the Town ofOyster Bay in Nassau County), and on the east by Huntington Bay and the portion ofHuntington Harbor in the Town ofHuntington. The inland boundaries ofthe LWRA enclose approximately 9.3 square miles ofland area. The water-side portion ofthe LWRA comprises Lloyd Harbor, the north westernmost portion of Huntington Harbor (including Lefferts-Van Wyck Mill Tidal Pond), The Sand Hole (in the northwest comer of Lloyd Neck), and small areas along the eastern shore of Cold Spring Harbor. The shoreline ofthe Local Waterfront Revitalization Area (LWRA) measures roughly 22 miles in length (Figure 2-2).
