Repair existing public facilities to achieve or maintain adopted level of service(s). <br />2. Construct new or expanded public facilities to achieve or maintain adopted level of <br />service(s). <br />3. Repair existing public facilities or construct new public facilities to eliminate hazards. <br />4. Construct new or expanded public facilities to achieve or maintain adopted level of <br />service(s) as forecasted during the next six years. <br />5. Repair existing public facilities or construct new public facilities to reduce the operating <br />cost of providing a public service or facility, <br />6. Construct new facilities to provide excess capacity that will be needed beyond the next <br />six -years. <br />7. All other facilities the County is obligated to complete that do not meet the criteria above. <br />3.3.

It is important to understand that a CIP does not represent a financial commitment or <br />guarantee that the projects will be implemented. County approval does not automatically <br />authorize funding. It does approve the program in concept and provides validity to the planning <br />process - <br />In an adtempt to stretch money as far as possible, many different funding sources are considered. <br />The financing of some projects relies on outside grant resources. If grants are not received the <br />projects may be delayed, removed, or fnarsced with dedicated revenues, general revenues, excess <br />surplus funds, or bond financing. The various methods of financing are as follows: <br />Kittitas County Doo tuber 2016 <br />Comprehensive Plan 5.6 <br />
