2020-2025 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN CIP — ADOPTED
Planning Director Mike Ruddy explained the CIP is a prioritized list of capital projects
requested by various County departments and agencies. He said the Plan is created as an
informational component of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan and consists of a schedule of major
capital expenditures for the County for the ensuing five-year period, as well as, a category for long
term projects (6 + years out). He said the GIP is intended to assist the Board of Supervisors in
preparation of the County budget adding that the County must also ensure that projects contained
within the CIP conform to the Comprehensive Plan. He said when the CIP is adopted, it becomes
a component of the Comprehensive Plan adding that the inclusion of projects on the CIP is in no
way an indication that Frederick County will be undertaking these projects. He said the CIP is
strictly advisory and is intended for use as capital facilities planning document, not for requesting
funding allocations.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public comment period.
