Fairfax, Virginia 22035 Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is my pleasure to submit for your review and consideration the Fairfax County Advertised Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2005 – 2009, with Future Fiscal Years to 2014. The CIP is an important document which is linked strategically to the Comprehensive Plan and the County’s Budget. I believe the CIP reflects the needs of the County and the goals and priorities of our community while recognizing our financial capabilities. For the second consecutive year, the CIP will be released concurrently with the FY 2005 Advertised Budget Plan and will be available on CD-ROM. During the development of the CIP the following primary objectives were accomplished: 1. Continued to consult and closely coordinate with the Board of Supervisors, the Planning Commission, and other Boards, Authorities and Commissions regarding the CIP process, status and recommendations; 2. Applied the principles and criteria adopted by the Board of Supervisors in FY 2003 to prioritize and rank all existing and future CIP projects; 3. Reviewed the County’s current debt and bond referendum capacities to determine the resources available to support identified CIP projects; 4. Provided flexibility for the Board of Supervisors to respond to emerging community needs, such as emergency preparedness or transportation requirements; 5. Identified a portion of the funding required to address capital renewal needs at some County facilities; and 6. Refined and simplified the CIP submission process and worked with County agencies to develop their CIP requirements. i 1. Continued to Consult and Closely Coordinate Staff from the Office of the County Executive, the Department of Management and Budget, the Department of Planning and Zoning and the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services, continued to consult and closely coordinate with the Board of Supervisors, the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission CIP subcommittee, and other Boards, Authorities and Commissions during the development of the CIP. This improved coordination enabled those involved with the CIP process to be better informed and to more fully participate in the development of program recommendations. 2. Applied the Principles and Criteria to Prioritize and Rank All CIP Projects For the second year, the Principles and Criteria adopted by the Board of Supervisors in FY 2003 were used to develop a priority ranking of all existing and future CIP projects. Application of these criteria ensures that each recommended project supports the policy objectives of both the Board of Supervisors and the Comprehensive Plan. These criteria are used to rank the priority of projects, indicate the relative time period in which a project may be initiated,
