(SCC 372 § 7, 1979; SCC 1708 § 1, 2022)
The County Executive shall develop and determine the format of the capital improvement program, and shall issue such written instructions and forms as are deemed necessary to elicit from the applicable agencies sufficient information to prepare his or her recommendations to the Board for a capital improvement program.
(SCC 372 § 7, 1979; SCC 1708 § 1, 2022)
The County Executive shall transmit to all applicable agencies materials necessary for preparation of their requests to construct physical improvements during the next capital improvement program period; and on such date as the County Executive specifies all applicable agencies shall file completed proposals for physical improvements with the County Executive.
(SCC 372 § 7, 1979; SCC 1708 § 1, 2022)
The County Executive shall review the proposals submitted by the applicable agencies. From those submittals, the County Executive shall compile and transmit to the Board of Supervisors a separate report of all new Physical Improvements or newly funded physical improvements prior to the County's Recommended Budget Hearings and with sufficient time for review by the Sacramento County Planning Commission. The Board of Supervisors shall refer the proposed new physical improvements or newly funded physical improvements in the capital improvement program to the County Planning Commission for review as defined in Section 21.15.050.
After review by the County Planning Commission, the County Executive shall compile his or her recommendations into a single capital improvement program document, inclusive of new and newly funded physical improvements, and ongoing physical improvements, which shall be transmitted to the Board of Supervisors along with the County Executive's Recommended Budget.
(SCC 372 § 7, 1979; SCC 1708 § 1, 2022)
The County Planning Commission shall review the proposed new physical improvements and newly funded physical improvements in the capital improvement program as to consistency with the adopted County General Plan and report with its recommendation as to consistency to the Board. Such review by the County Planning Commission may include consideration of pertinent technical information, but the County Planning Commission shall not be required to hold a public hearing thereon. Failure of the County Planning Commission to report its recommendation to the Board within 40 days from receipt thereof shall be deemed a recommendation that the proposed projects in the capital improvement program are consistent with the adopted General Plan.
(SCC 372 § 7, 1979; SCC 1400 § 38, 2008; SCC 1708 § 1, 2022)
The Board of Supervisors, as the planning agency, shall review the capital improvement program, consider the recommendations of the Planning Commission and staff, and determine the consistency of the proposed physical improvements in the capital improvement program with the General Plan prior to the appropriation of funds for any proposal contained in said program. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the Board reserves to itself total authority to establish priorities for the scheduling of the physical improvements within the capital improvement program and to determine the appropriateness of funding for such physical improvements. Board of Supervisors approval of funding for a physical improvement in the County's budget shall also be considered approval of a physical improvement for purposes of inclusion in the Capital Improvement Program.
(SCC 372 § 7, 1979; SCC 1708 § 1, 2022)
Amendments to the capital improvement program may occur from time to time throughout any fiscal year by action of the Board of Supervisors upon recommendation by any of the applicable agencies.
