comment period, staff will be available to respond to citizen and Commissioner comments or questions.
Further deliberation and adoption of the 1999-2009 CIP are tentatively scheduled for the work sessions of
the Boazd of Commissioners on May l land, if necessary, on June 8.

CIP. However, the Boazd will make allocation decisions, for both County and school capital projects,
involving several million dollazs later this spring. These Board funding decisions for FY 1999-2000 will
be enacted through capital project ordinances that will be adopted at the June 21, 1999 Commissioners'
meeting.
RECOMMENDATON(S): The Manager recommends that the Boazd conduct the public hearing for the
County's ten-yeaz Capital Investment Plan.
