Capital Improvement Projects
The District’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year planning schedule with each year approved in the correlating fiscal year. Long-term capital planning is a dynamic process and is part of the district’s overall strategic plan. Capital planning involves identifying current and future needs and prioritizing them through an assessment process.
Projects listed in the CIP are reviewed annually by the District’s staff to allow the program to be more responsive to changing needs, regulations, funding availability, and demand projections.
Development Procedures & Guidelines
The Guidelines were developed as a guide for persons and entities associated with the establishment of new or progressing developments within the District. These parameters are applicable to developers, design engineers, construction contractors, and other parties conducting development activities within the District. The objective of the Guidelines is to clearly identify the responsibilities and financial obligations of the Developer.
