November 14,2019 <br /> Page 2 <br /> 3. Priorities. In assessing your priorities, strategize your projects within the context of the <br /> six-year timeframe as required by Charter. Phase your projects as necessary over the six- <br /> year period to cover as much of the full project as possible from planning, land acquisition <br /> as applicable, design, and construction. When prioritizing, consider the following: <br /> a. Protects public health and/or safety; <br /> b. Equalizes services among districts by addressing a deficiency; <br /> c. Reduces deferred maintenance issues; <br /> d. Provides matching funds to leverage Non-County funding sources; <br /> e. Prioritized in the General Plan or a Community Development Plan; <br /> f. Mandated by law or court action. <br /> 4. Funding Sources. The early phases of a regional project (e.g., planning, design) are good <br /> candidates for fair share funding to position the projects for shovel-ready funding <br /> sources. The Planning Department can advise on the availability of fair share funding. <br /> Funding sources that do not rely on bond funding are good candidates to prioritize (e.g., <br /> CDBG, revolving loans). <br /> 5. Submittal. The Planning Director will hold meetings to meet with agencies and distribute <br /> instructions and forms for your budget submittal. We ask that all departments submit <br /> your complete set of projects no later than January 2, 2019. The Planning Director will <br /> meet with agencies during the week of January 13th to 17th to discuss your CIP projects <br /> and strategic six-year outlook in order to compile a draft CIP budget for my review. We <br /> would like to avoid significant changes between the March and May budget submittals, <br /> so let us spend the time now to try to get it right the first time. <br /> As necessary, the Managing Director, Finance Director, Planning Director, and I are available to <br /> discuss your projects and prioritization prior to your January submittal. Please schedule a <br /> meeting if you would like to discuss your projects and/or priorities. <br /> County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
